Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, November 20, 1913 No. 47 Merrill-Vaughn The home of Mrs. Nettie M. Vaughn was the scene of an attractive fall wedding, Wednesday afternoon, November 19, when her laughter Norma was united in marriage to Mr. Geo. Roy Merrill of Webster, Mich., Rev. A. G. (Htes of Rochester, officiating. The living room of the residence was tastefully decorated in green and white. Promptly at two o'clock the bridal party took their appointed places as Mies Hazel Merrill, sister of the groom, played a beautiful wedding march. The impressive ring ceremony was performed, little Miss Norma Virginia Teeple acting as ring bearer. The bridal gown was of white crepe de chine, exquisitely trimmed with draperies of shadow lace, the bouquet was of white roses. Her attendant, Miss Sadie Swarthout, wore a gown of blue crepe de .chine and carried white carnations. The groom and beat man, Dr. Mdriey Vaughn of Jackson, brother of the bride, were attired in black. A dainty buffet luncheon was served to about seventy guests immediately following the ceremony by six youug lady friends of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill have gone east on their wedding trip. The bride's traveling gown was a blue Bedford cord, the hat being black with a heavy blue plume. B^th Miss Vaughn and Mr. Merrill are well and favorably known throughout this community. Miss Vaughn has lived in Piuckney since childhood and has always been a popular young lady in both her home and in social circles. Mr. Merrill is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Merrill, prosperous farmers in Webster. Upon their return from the East, they will be at home to their many friends after January 15th at Webster. Guests out of town were present from Detroit, Jackson, Howell) Hamburg, Hastings and Ann Ar- -• -bo*.- — — - Several very pretty showers have been given in the bride's honor, among them being a miscellaneous shower at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Queal of Webster, Friday, November 14, and a kitchen shower November 5, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Teeple.

Howell to Become a City The question of changing Howell to a city corporation reached the council last week. Under the present law this change is governed by a general statute which has a long list of provisions. The council promptly passed the first action required and hope to have the matter ready to pass up to the board of supervisors when they meet in January. It will be necessary for a vote upon the question when it is up to that stage. This vote must be by all the territory interested which includes the townships of Howell and Marion. As to the fairness of the proposition just to illustrate: A the last town meeting there was about $9,000 voted for roads. Every dollar of this amount is expended for work in the township and not one inside the village corporation. The corporation pays about sixty-seven per cent of the township taxes. Then we turn around and are taxed about $2,500 a year to take care of our streets. And every time a Howell township farmer comes to town he roasts the town people about how good roads the township has and the condition of the streets in town, Tbis is but one of the many sides of this important question.— Republican.

Gloria Kf rr. a motherless girl, who has spent most uf her life In school, a r r i v e s at her father's home In Belmont. David K e r r is the political boas of the town, and la anxious to prevent his d a u g h t e r li'.-irnii:!,' of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, Is negotiailng wllli .Jmljio Gilbert. K e r r ' s chief adviser, for a valuable franchise. They fear the opposition of Joe W r i g h t , editor of the reform paper. K e r r asks the assistance of Judge Gilbert in Introducing Gloria to Hrhnont society, and promises to help him put through the p a c k e r s ' franchise ami let him have all the graft. Gloria meets Joe Wright at the Gilberts. It appears they are on intimate terms, having met previously In a touring p a r t y in Kurop.-. The Gilberts invite Gloria to stay with them pending the refurnishing of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight against the proposed franchise in the columns of his paper, the Belmont News. Kerr, through his henchmen, exerts every influence to h a m p e r Wright in the publication of his paper. Gloria realizes she is not being received by the best society and is unhappy. She t a k e s up settlement work. K e r r and his lieutenants decide to buy K e r r ' s paper and ask the editor to meet t h e m at Gilbert's office. Calling at Gilbert's office to solicit a donation Gloria meet? Wright. CHAPTER XIII.—Continued. "Some time soon, I hope. I'm sick and tired of it all here, Gloria. Today ft has seemed like the game Isn't worth the candle. What do you think?" "I'm all in the dark, too," was her confession. Slowly and surely in the shadow of her shattered hopes and his unhappy conflict of duty and desire were they being drawn closer together than even they had been when they laughed with the spring and dreamed of the days to come in a radiant sunshine of unwhispered love. "I don't know what to think," Gloria went on in a low tone. "I don't seem to understand Belmont." "Why don't you go away? Don't you want to?" "What for? I know the life out there." She made a sweeping gesture which seemed to encompass all the world outside the four walls which shut them in together. "It wouldn't really satisfy me any more—to live as I used to live." "Yet your life here—" He left the rest, to her, "No, this doesn't satisfy me either." "In a word, Gloria, you're not happy." Instead of replying directly, she asked with a dropping of her hands to her sides in a hopeless fashion: "Is anybody in the whole world happy? Are you happy?" "Don't you think 1 am?" "I'm afraid not." The appealing way she looked at him, her whole soul welling up In her eyes, brought him to his feet and set him to pacing nervously up and down. He looked fntiguedy, distressed, beside himself with care." She forgave him everything but his studied refusal to let her share whatever weighed upon him. Could he not see, she thought, how she yearned to tell him that whither he went, there she would go also, that his joys would be all her joys and that his burdens would be divided with her, that love, divided- all sorrow and doubled all joy? Wright could stand it no longer. He saw her before him, trembling with that same emotion that shook him, aflame with the same fire that burned within him, mutely questioning him with her big, soulful eyes. How could he make amends for that month of neglect except by telling her what she long ago had guessed, but what more jrecently she had a right to doubt? He felt weak where he wanted to be 'strong. To hear from her lips that she loved him was all that he needed | to make him invincible. With her acf knowledged love in his heart there was nothing he could not do. . "Oh, Gloria, I can't tell you what a fight I'm making. You wouldn't understand. Business is business, outside a woman's realm, but I've missed you to much this last month." At this declaration she caught her Joy, she found, could some- ^tfseee prove the twin of pain. That Lit man, this strong, fearless man, straggles had missed her, had a longing for dependence heart bound. Love, els banners have been the breeze leagues bewail is reached, never Pa ewrprftse when at last ,t*e fat* U heard. t* amy m r work Copyright ay A. C. McClurg * Co., 19U "No, Gloria, you must hear me. I didn't mean to speak now, of all times, but it had to be some day, and perhaps it is all for the b'it now." The woman leaned her hand upon the table for support, turning half away from him. "Don't Joe, please don't," she murmured. "I must go." "No, no, I must tell you. You've asked me if you could help me. I want you to help me; you can help me always. I love you. I want you to be my wife. I have loved you, oh, so long; and, most of all, I've felt that you have needed me. Don't tell me that it was just selfishness, dear, that made me feel that my protecting arms should be about you always. Love is love, a law unto itself alone. We must recognize it and bow to it, because it brings us happiness." He came a step nearer, but she did not turn to him. She stood half turned away, her eyes downcast,, her lips parted into half a smile. Her breath came fast and she could feel her heart beat. Then she heard him say in a lower tone, so gently: "Nothing to say, Gloria? Can't you believe me?" She turned to find herself gazing into his eyes. "Yes, I believe in you—as I believe in my father." This answer was not enough. He had asked her to be his wife. Not yet had she replied. "Say that you care for me, Gloria; tell me that you love me." "I've always cared, Joe; I do love you." "For better or worse?" He held out his arms. "To the end of the world," she whispered as his arms were folded about her. And as their lips met in their first kiss, Wright saw in her eyes the light that never yet has shone on land or sea. CHAPTER XIV. Even as Wright held Gloria in his arms there came back to him her words: "Yes, I believe In you—as I believe in my father." They were like lead about his heart, and cautioned him that he must get her away from Belmont as quickly as possible. Words of love must be postponed, new-found bliss be treated as commonplace, until he had finished his hard task of persuading her to go away. "You've made me supremely happy, Gloria. I want you to believe in me and trust me—always." She smiled up at him her lovo and confidence as she answered, "I do, I do." "I want you to be happy, and I know you're not happy in Belmont. You must go away at once. I'll follow vou." "But why7"~~she questioned; The" smile was still there, but surprise peeped forth from her eyes. "I'm, happy now." Wright laughed at her with that delightfully patronizing air of possession that lovers assume, caught her in his arms once more and kissed her. "I know, dear, but you'll be happier. I can't explain. You wouldn't understand. Can't you trust me?" "Ye-es, but father would—" "He won't oppose your going, I know he won't." At thought of David Kerr and the fierce fight they were waging Wright became insistent. "Do this for me, Gloria. You can get a late train for St. Louis tonight. Til -have Mrs. Gilbert go with you. Next week I'll join you, and we'll make plans for the wedding." "But, Joe, that's so foolish," she complained. "I like Belmont immensely now." Then she struck a more serious note. "Besides, it wouldn't be fair to father. He's put me through, and I'm not going to disappoint him. To go away—well, I feel If would be disloyal." "Yon can write him we're engaged," be pleaded. "Then I'll go to see him." Gloria could not altogether understand his insistence. Then, too, to send her away just after they had found each other was something she con Id not explain to her father. Further discussion was put out of the question by the appearance of JWge Gilbert. •Would you object to waiting for Hayes in this office?*' he asked, to the room next to that in the men bad been conferring. as he added, "Mr. Wright 01 business, you know." he transacted it with me, *' the oonld B*t hair replying. Then she asked Wright with a smile, "You won't be long?" He walked with her to the door, to Gilbert's surprise, crossed the threshold and went into the little office. Somehow or other—such things are always mysteries, certainly they are accidents— the door seemed to close of its own accord. "Wait for me a little while," he said, taking both her hands in his. "It's going to be such a glorious world for us. I never knew what happiness meant till now. To be wherever you were has always made life sweet, but now everything takes on a new meaning transmuted by the glory of being loved by you." She loosed one hand from his grasp and put it over his mouth. "Naughty boy, you must go back to work. You're playing truant here I mustn't listen to you. When I listen to you, you make me forget everything but that I love you. And now I want to be alone and think." To leave her for an instant was like having his life's sun in eclipse. At last she freed herself from his arms and-bade him go. He had gone as far as the door, his hand upon the knob, when she quickly crossed the small space between them, threw her arms around his neck and whispered: "Remember, dear, in whatever you do, I'm with you. May my love and my confidence support you ever." It seemed to him like a benediction. Again were his arms around her, again their lips pledged their hearts' lasting love. Gently he released himself from her embrace, and with a parting smile was gone. Wright stepped into the library, his eyea upon Gloria until the closed door shut her from his sight. He turned to find himself face to face with David Kerr. While Wright had been talking to Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had Joined the attorney in the library. As goon aB the editor saw with whom he had to deal, he recognized how hard pressed were his friends the enemy, since no go-between was employed. He was being asked to treat with the boss of Belmont, himself. "You know Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kerr," Gilbert said, without resorting to his social manner, as was his custom. This he* knew to be a case of diamond cut diamond, and there was no occasion for any seeming show of friendliness. "I had the pleasure of meeting them at your house." It was easy to see from the direct opening of the conversation that there was to be little beating around the bush. Gilbert took a chair at the head MM* "l Like Belmont Immensely Now." of the long library table. Wright sat to his left, where he could see the door of the room in which Gloria waited for him. Opposite to him were Kerr and Kendall. "It's been a hot campaign," were the boss* first words, "but we can afford to let bygones be bygones." Wright was not to be led into any admission which might be used against him later, and therefore would not assent to this. . "What I can afford has nothing to do with it. The one question is: Can Belmont afford to give itself up to this terminal trust that leaves no stone unturned in its effort to steal the Btreets and parks of tbe town? That is only the first step. Where do you propose it shall end?" "That's where you misrepresent our side, Mr. Wright," said Kendall. -The undertaking you speak of is perfectly leaittoAtc. (or ten dtraei &?ne/|* of Belmont. I challenge you to prove that what you have accused us of being about to do is really the intention of this company. Nothing, sir, is farther from it." "That's all been gone over," Wright said, turning to the lawyer at the head of the table. "There's nothing new to be said along that line. Was it for this you sent for me, Judge Gilbert?" "No. I asked you to come over here to consider an offer for your paper. Is the News for sale?" "That depends. 'For sale' when applied to a newspaper may sometimes have an ugly meaning." "Of course," Gilbert was quick to add, "I mean as a newspaper property." "I'm a poor man, Judge Gilbert," Wright began slowly. "I couldn't refuse to consider an offer—" He got no further, for Kendall exclaimed: "That's what I thought." "Wait a minute," Wright asked him, lifting his hand in warning that he had not finished. "You Interrupted me before I was through. What I say is this: I couldn't refuse to consider an offer from a proper quarter." "What does the source matter to you?" Kendall inquired. "You're human. You wa'nt money as bad as any of us." Before replying, Wright's gaze rested for an instant on the door behind which his heart's happiness waited. Her words came to him, strengthening him to meet the tempter: "Remember, dear, in whatever you do, I'm with you. May my love and my confidence support you ever." "I may want money—need it—worse than any of you," he confessed. "But it must come only one way—honestly." "Nothin* dishonest 'bout sellin' a paper, 1B there?" growled Kerr. "I can't tell in this case until I hear what Judge Gilbert's offer is " "It's simply this: I have some clients who wish to purchase. your paper." "Mr. Kerr and Mr. Kendall, I suppose." "Does it make any difference to you ?" "It may to Belmont." "What's Belmont got to do with it?" asked Kerr. "A newspaper can't change hands like a stock of groceries," Wright retorted impatiently. "You know I want to be open and above board with you, Mr. Wright," soothed Gilbert. "So I'll tell you that Mr. Kendall and Mr. Kerr are interested in this offer. I know the paper's mortgaged. What'll you sell for, the purchasers to assume the mortgage and all other debts, and possession to be given this afternoon?" Wright merely looked at him and shook his head. What he thought he almost hated to say. It hurt him to think that they could believe he would even listen to such a proposition. "Then," continued Gilbert, "another basis on which to deal would give you nominal control until after election, but my clients would not expect the paper to be so vehement in its denunciations in the next few days." "Judge Gilbert," the editor replied quietly, but with great earnestness, "that's an offer I don't thank you for. These men haven't enough money to buy my paper." "You bought the paper," snarled Kerr in an ugly manner. "Yes," came the answer right back at him, "but you want to buy my selfrespect." The two-men glared-at each other, but the boss did not deny the assertion. The elder man was beginning to rage Inwardly. So accustomed had he become to the exercise of autocratic power in Belmont that he could not reconcile himself to being thwarted, especially when success was so vital to him. "There's a good profit in it for you," was the conciliatory remark of Judge Gilbert. "In dollars and cents, perhaps," admitted Wright, "but there are some' things that have a greater value than mere money; peace of mind, fof instance, and the deserved respect of the community, and honor. I can't sell out the people who are depending on me, the people of Belmont." The men across the table looked at him as if they thought him crazy. They knew he had foolish ideas, but they had not dreamed he would let such an opportunity slip through his fingers. He was the owner of a newspaper that was losing money every day, and they had as much as asked him to name his own figure for his property. They could not understand how honor was part of the transaction in the sale of a newspaper, even in the last days of a strong fight against the organisation. What should he care about the respect of the community when he had money enough to take him out of that community and keep him comfortable until he was ready to get another paper somewhere else to exploit his Insane ideas of civic righteousness?

It is a common thing in this country to see whole families growing up with nervous systems weakened by coffee drinking. That is because many parents do not realize that coffee contains a drug —caffeine—which causes the trouble. (The same drug is found in tea.) "There are fire children in my family/' writes an Iowa mother, "all of whom drank coffee from infancy up to two years ago. "My husband and I had heart trouble and were advised to quit-coffee. We did so and began to use Postum. We now are doing without medicine and are entirely relieved of heart trouble. (Caffeine causes heart trouble when continually used as in coffee drinking.)

Tfce shops are all displaying fernlnlrig finery calculated to arouse the enthusiasm even of the most Indifferent observer, but one house on lower Broadway had on view last week a collection of Imported frockx which struck the high note of the season with regard to extravagance. Elsewhere were found models as beautiful, but nowhere else were so many superb creations shown In one group. Every famous French dressmaker was represented by the best of his or r Chantilly Lace and Chiffon. . her productions, and looking over the scores of elaborate models and reading the price labels, one could not help exclaiming over the extravagance which can justify a shrewd buyer in catering after this fashion to American women. The only conelusion is that American purses must be full and American husbands and fathers must be very Indulgent But If this Is to be a season of unusual extravagance It Is also In J*e a season of exceptionally beautiful CASE FOR OPERA GLASSES May Be Made Without Much Trouble From Any 8trong Material That la Fancied.

This fact has been evident since the first autumn models began to drift across the seas, and the collection of frocks referred to above e-nphaalaed It, underscored it, put exclamation marks after it. After a general Burvey of the exhibit, one was left with a dased impression aa of a riot of velvets and furs, chiffons and lacea, wonderful gleaming embroideries and supple Bilken stuffs in lines of indescribable beauty. But cloeer study revealed the unity In variety and resolved the bewildering confections into their component parts. Our sketch showa a gown of chantilly lace and chiffon. A bright bit of color was added In the way of a deep reddish-purple belt and garlands of roses of harmonizing tones. The blouse and tunic were of white chiffon. The profusion of intricate embroidery and beads is one of the most pronounced features of the handsome evening frocks and a quantity of dull gold and silver is another thing that leaves a diBtinct impression. Velvet and fur are omnipresent, aid brocades are claiming a surer hold than was accorded to them when manufacturers and dressmakers combined to push them last yean MARY DEAN. MANY NOVELTIES FOR FALL Pompons With Beade. Pretty pompons for slippers are made In this way: Gather a doubled strip of chiffon—about three inches wide when folded—Into a rosette. Make a little satin rose of the same color. If you are not vereed in the ways of making roses from satin, make two rosettes, as you made the chiffon one, one smaller than the other, and fasten them together, and they will look flower like. Use bright crystal beads for the flower center, and dot beads around the edges of the petals of the aatln rose. Pure, clear glass beads give the beat offect, -but gold or silver beads would also be pretty. to fit any glasses can be made on the lines of that shown. It la cut out in three pieces, one piece forming the body of the case and foldover flap, and the other two pieces the sides. After the material haa been cut out, it should be lined and then sewn together, the seams being hidden with a fine silk cord which la carried round the edge of the flap. This flap can either be made to fasten with small buttons and buttonholes, or two snap fasteners, cut possibly from an old kid glove, can be used. A long loop of ribbon (the ends of which are sewn in on either aide of the case) la provided by which It may be carried slung upon the wrist The colors of the materials are a matter of choice, but dark green silk lined with soft silk of a lighter shade of the tame color, and ribbon and cord of an old gold color, would be a strikingly pretty and effective combination. To Drees the Neck. A band of fancy ribbon for the neck, topped with a narrow edge of fur, fastens at the left aide under a flat bow of the ribbon, one edge of which ia fur-trimmed. On no typo of neckwear does narrow fur trimming show off to better advantage than on a gracefully draped fichu. Many such fichus are made of embroidered net or chiffon. Some of them have a wide throat band of Mack velvet, together with a fichu- Jabot finish. Popular Collar.

Milady of fashion who is seeking for novelties in fall fabrics will have a wonderful selection to choose from this year. The soft colors which blend so well in furs show to special advantage in the new materials. Kittens' ear cloth, a soft, velvety material, just what the name implies, is a triumph indeed of the weaver's art Drap de nymphe, a cloth fabric with the luster and drape of charmeuse, chenille cloth which is rich, soft and distinctive, and peluche de laine bid fair to be some of the most used materials of the season. The demand for soft clinging folds and draperies this year has taxed the manufacturer's skill to the greatest degree. The result from the loom Is a marvel of art, even the stiff brocade of silver and gold, praised by our ancestress of old, has been transformed under the deft finger of the weaver into a pliable material with a softness that falls and drapes at the modiste's will. The brocade of this fall is of a royal richness, with a riot of color and fanciful designs. One beautiful design was woven of gold and claret, the warp being of one and the woof of the other. Over the background was brocaded a design in plain claret A CLERGYMAN'S TESTIMONY. The Rev. Edmund HeBlop of Wigton, Pa., suffered from Dropsy for a year. His limbs and feet were swollen and puffed.

FACE ITCHED AND BURNED 883 No. Union St., Aurora, 111.—"My ailment started with a little pimple and it always itched and burned terribly. I scratched it and in a few days my face was all covered with sores. It ran up to my eyes and the day after I could not see out of my right eye. I was unable to get any rest. I couldn't go to bed, being afraid of getting the clothing all soiled, although I had my face all bandaged. "I was given two jars of salve but it kept getting worse. It was something like a running sore because every time I used some of the salve I had to wrap bandages around my neck to keep the water and pus from running down my body. I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in a few days I received these and washed my face with the Cuticura Soap and put on some Cuticura Ointment and the next morning my face felt cool and somewhat relieved. After using the sample I bought some Cuticura Soap and -Ointment at the drug store.

"Yes; but that was part of the ceremony. I want to hear you say it to me when nobody else can hear you."

Is $ 10 to $20 Saved on Fuel Bills Worthwhile to You? v? " If it is, we wantyou to come andsee us, and we will show you a base burner that will not only save you dollars in fuel bills, but will also give you continuous heat day and night—upstairs and down—all winter long. There are many reasons why the FAVORITE BASE BURNER is the best and most economical heating stove in existence. In i t s wonderful system of warmair flues you will_find one reason why it maintains an even temperature throughout the entire house on the coldest days of winter, regardless of whistling winds and driving blizzards outside. In its "paper-tight" construction— for the Favorite is accurately and tightly fitted by special patented machinery— is found the explanation why it will hold fire unattended for five successive day* and nights without going out, always pouring forth an unvarying amount of pure, warm air from a steady fire. Flowers and delicate plants thrive in the fresh, healthful atmosphere supplied by a FAVORITE BASE BURNER; it is the best method of heating for fragile women and children. If you want your family to be warm^healthy and happy during the cold months you cannot afford to buy any heating stove but a Favorite. It will keep Florida atmos- ^ 3 5 ¾ ^ phere in your house all winter long. It will give your wife a cozy and comfortable ^¾¾¾¾¾^ home in which to live. It will furnish your children with warm bedrooms in which to undress and go to bed. Buying a Favorite Base Burner is like putting money in the bank, because it saves its own cost in a few years use, and brings such luxury and happiness into the home.

Price. William Baker, a diver of Detroit, made the discovery, accompanied on the tug Sport by Captain Robert Thompson. It took only a short time for Baker in his diving suit to decipher the steamer's name in black letters upon a white background. No bodies were discovered by the diver although he asserts he was on the lookout for them. He adds that he believes there are some bodies in the steamer, but he was unable to get inside to verify bis conjecture. The diver declares there is no boat under the Prloe nor near It. Captain Thompson dragged his anchor around the wreck but met no obstacle. Captain Thompson believes the washing away of the Price's hatches, and the shifting of the cargo In the storm, combined to throw the vessel on its side, oapslsing It without warning to the orew. The Price Is one of the Hanna fleet of Cleveland. It is valued at 1350,000. The ship is 604 feet long and was built in 1910 by the American Shipbuilding company, of Lorain, O. It Is the belief of owners' representatives that the steamer will be reoovered Without great loss. The venerable leader of the Mexican Constitutionalists is a powerful figure in the complex situation since his forces have captured Juarez. FACTORY FOR STUDENTS Attendance at University Can be increased If Employment for Young Men Could be Found. Miner Killed at Negaunee.

Benton Harbor, Mich.—Bids were Opened by the backers of "Ormsby Beach," the proposed 925,000 summer resort and sanitarium to be located on the shores of Lake Michigan, near here, for the construction of 20 cottages and the main building, which will be one of the finest on the east shore. A mineral welL said to have curative powers, has bean found on the proposed site. Dance halls, amusesnoot features and a board walk from I t Joseph, along the lake, are proposed.

Lansing, Mich.—After a conference With the attorney-generaTs department, members of the state board of health Hfcve decided to issue the or- 6ar eonneotiag the Highland Park sewerage system with that of Detroit At a refttit meeting in Ann Arbor the hoard of health determined on e*em sisttpo. but withheld the order until ttsT attorney-general could be v«* fcer. Jaojsa Paseoa, pastor of the First M. ft chureh of Alpena, was Wttfoartsy elected president of the JUpona district Ministerial associatSsov oosaprtaed of ohwohM from Bay Ann Arbor, Mich.—"One thousand more young men of the state of Michigan would attend the university each year of they could only be assured permanent work for their spare hours by which they could earn school funds." This statement was made by a member of the working students' committee. The two employment bureaus find it very difficult to find jobs enough to go around here. Most of them are waiting table for board, tending furnace for rooms, or doing odd cash Jobs about the city. A city no larger than Ann Arbor cannot furnish continuous work for several hundred students. A number of plans have been suggested, A factory of some kind seems the most plausible. It would need to be- one that would not be compelled to depent upon rush order work, for the amount of labor would vary greatly from day to day. Some days there would be several hundred workers every hour, while other days, such as periods before examinations, the numbers would undoubtedly dwindle to almost nothing. The idea is to have the kind of work such that a student can drop into the factory at any hdur of the day he happens to have some spare time, work as long as he likes at so much per hour, and quit when he wishes to. The main thing to plan for it to always have wcrk for all at any time. The product will need to be something for which there is a steady demand, and which can be sold as fast as finished. A basket factory has been suggested as meeting these requirements. Another-sliggestion""haB beena cement block factory. To Reduce Prloe of Eggs. New York—A campaign against the high price of eggs, it was announced by Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the Housewives' league, will be started at once in which 700,000 women organized In every state will take part.

I BY REBEL ARMY FEDERAL OFFICERS SHOT BY ORDER OF GENERAL V I L L A . FORTY PERSONS ARE K I L L E D IN B A T T L E . Provisional Government of State of Chihuahna is Established in Juarez. No Looting Allowed By Victors. El Paso, Texas. By the cleverest soup yet executed by the Mexican constitutionalists Juarez tell into their hands early Saturday morning. The rebel army under Genera! Villa were in the center of the city before a shot was fired. In the ensuing battle about forty persons were killed, one of them an American auto driver from El Paso. The rebels took 125 federal prisoners, 95,000 rounds of ammunition, two field pieces and two machine guns. General Francisco Castro made his escape, but the other federal officers were taken and executed on the order of Villa. "No Looting" was the order given to the victorious nrcn after the town had surrendered. No cases of theft were reported. The provisional government of the state of Chihuahna has been established at Juarez. Col, John N. Medina has been named as governor. Order was quickly restored in Juarez after the capitulation, and Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock street car service between El Paso and Juarez was resumed, and Americans began to flock to the Mexican city. Little damage was done in Juarez, as the rebels had no carmon. Villa assured Mayor C. E. Kelly, of El Paso, that all Americans would receive protection. They met in the center of the international bridge at noon Saturday and later Mayor Kelly accompanied Villa to the Juarez customs house, the new rebel headquarters, where they talked for a few minutes. Mayor Kelly on hid return ordered the bridges opened and traffic between the towns was resumed. . Passengers Saved by "S. O. S." New Orleans.—A wireless message from Bermuda states that the Spanish steamers Balmes was destroyed by fire at sea. One hundred and twenty-five passengers and the crew of 42 were rescued by the Cunarder Pannonia, a sister ship to the famous Carpathia which pickel up the Titanic survivors. The disaster occurred 'about 600 miles east of Bermuda while the Balmes was bound from Havana to Cadiz with a cargo of rum and cotton. The fire is believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. The Pannonia is thought to have been the only vessel to receive the "S. O. S." call sent out by the Balmes. The Pannonia reached the burning vessel within four hours and reported by wireless that all passengers had been taken off without mishap. Eaton Must Reduce Road Work. Charlotte, Mich,—State Highway Commissioner Rogers advises the county road commission that he nfade a blunder in interpreting the new crunk line act and instead of Eaton county receiving $1,700 a mile for this class of construction, only $850 will be paid, which will result in a loss of 13,000 to this county and will force the county commissioners to reduce their 1914 work to that extent, as they were figuring on using ""the reward money to majce up the cut made by the supervisors. Canadian Ship is Lost. Montreal.—The steam collier Bridgeport, sailing from Sydney^Cape Breton, with a crew of 42 and a cargo of 10,000 tons of coal, has been lost and probably all aboard have perished, according to an official announcement made by the Dominion Coal Co., which chartered the vessel.

The results of the threshing throughout Western Canada shows a more wonderful yield than usual of wheat, oats, barley and flax, all of which was harvested and threshed in perfect order. Not only was the av< erage yield excellent over the entire country, but the quality was of the highest standard. Without going into figures, it is sufficient to say that wheat graded almost universally very near the top. Reports are to hand showing yields of wheat from many fields which averaged forty bushels per acre, and weighing 65 pounds to the measured bushel. Oats were very heavy, running from fifty to one hundred and fifteen bushels to the acre. Barley also was a very heavy yielder and kept up the reputation of Western Canada as a producer of that cereal. In many parts of the country the yield of flax exceeded the earlier expectations, but in other parts, there was some loss on account of winds blowing off the boll. Hundreds of farmers who have only been in the country three or four years, with but* little means when they arrived, will, out of the crop of this year, clean up all their indebtedness, and be able to put something aside for further improvements on their farms "and homes which are now freed of incumbrance. The writer has just heard of the experience of a man in the Battleford district that is wor.th repeating. He went to the district seven or eight years "ago, with no money, worked for a time got a team of horses, did some freighting and homesteaded a quarter section of land. He now owns 4*80 acres of land, clear of all incumbrances, and has wheat, oats, barley and hay, as well as a good number of horses, cattle and hogs, feeding rough grain to the stock. He is a firm believer in mixed farming. The fifty dollars that he first earned in the country has now increased to $25,000. He has never had a crop failure. Instances of this kind could be repeated over and over again. There is a Dane, named Key, east of Saskatoon, whose oats this year went 110 bushels to the acre, and his wheat 40 bushels. He has paid off the mortgage on his farm, and now contemplates a trip to Denmark, to visit his old home. He has no more cares or worries, but is anxious to have more of his people settle in that part. It is not only the farmer with limited meanB and small area of land who is doing well, and has done wonderfully in Western Canada this year, but the man with means, the man who is able to conduct successful farming on a large scale and many opportuni*^ ties offer for such in Western Canada,^ also has increased his bank account handsomely. A farmer In Southern Alberta raised 350,000 bushels of grain in 1913, and made almost a fortune out of it. In Saskatchewan and in Manitoba is to be heard the same story of what has been done by the farmer working a large area, which* he is able to do successfully, by the use of improved farm machinery, enabling him to cut hundreds of acres a day, and plow the land immediately with large traction outfits.

Like Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch, "Mis' l>ane7 had a taste for geographical names, and "Mis' Dane" Is very loyal, so she wanted to call the little firstborn "Missouri." Mr. Dane said she might, but that if Bhe did he would call the other "Arkansas." Sometimes homesickness would almost master her. She would hug up the little red baby and murmur "Missouri," and then daddy would growl playfully to "Arkansas." It went on that way for a long time and at last she remembered that Sedalla was in Missouri, so she felt glad and really named the older baby Sedalla. But she could think of nothing to match the name and was in constant fear thai the father would name the other baby "Little Rock." For three years poor Gale was Just "t'other one." Then the Danes west to Green River where some lodge was having a parade. They were watching the drill when a "bystander that was standing by^said something about the "fine regalia."

As a child, of course, he was thankful that Thanksgiving day had to come on Thursday every year, instead of flopping all over the week and coming in turn on Saturday and Sunday, when there would be holiday anyway. For is there anything so tragic as a holiday that does not fall on a school day? Thursday Is just right, for then, you see, the school people reason' that there is no use bringing the children back for one day, and they might as well have Friday, too. Thanksgiving on Wednesday would be overstepping the mark, since they would not allow two extra days, and Friday meant only one day off, Thursday was the one to choose, and looking back now you cannot help wondering how the president ever happened to hit upon such an altogether satisfactory day. On Wednesday, you will remember, not much work was done, for everybody was looking forward to the "intertainment." Perhaps you even spoke a piece. If you did your selection was limited, for the poets seem to be kept so busy grinding the mills for Christmas that they have not one little inspiration left for Tranksgiving. But what Thanksgiving poetry there is agrees on one point—a lively veneration for the "eats." No matter how the pcem starts dinner will be served by the end of the last verse. Take that one you recited about ' "Thanksgiving Eve." Sentiment riots in the opening lines. The snow fails gently outdoors, for the scene is not laid in Baltimore, Md., where they usually reserve snow for a Christmas treat. We have a touching picture of the little ones creeping silently to bed. you get in a melting good, sort of anticipating that when the youngsters reach the attic the poet is going to spring a vacant crib at you. But no. Listen! It waa Thanksgiving eve, don't you think, The pies were in rows on the pantry shelves, And nice things to eat, and nlce_thlngg to drink, Resignedly looked for the morrow to bring A miserable end to everything. Not that it rhymes especially and the last line is painfully ambiguous as to where the miserable end is going to strike, but what matter when the rows of pies and various beverages are safe on the shelf. After you had stumbled through this, getting purple-red in the face and wondering why all those "fellers" you could lick with one hand down in the school yard should look so terrifying assembled before the platform, you beat a precipitous retreat, falling over a hole in the carpet on the way. The next number on the program was "The First Proclamation," done by another boy. The family of that other boy had suffered because of "The First Proclamation," for it wai to be recited in costume. Now, how should a plain American mother know in what garb Governor Bradford delivered that first proclamation? Father found a picture of the Pilgrim Father in the history and thought that would do well enough, and grandfather said: "Oh, pshaw now; don't he look like one of them big-hat fellers around Pen-Mar?" Finally they borrowed a suit that a neighbor's . son had worn when he went as John Alden to a mask ball, though It was much too large, and Johnny protested violently against wearing i t Just so does a simple thing change the course of m noble life. If the suit had not been too large Johnny might hare been able to take his mind from his appearance and divert it to the lin TUE THANKSGIVING Pit " 'And now/ said the governor, 'gazing abroad,' he began. Pause. " 'And now,' said the governor—" Pause. " 'And now—' " And now Johnny burst Into tears and rushed from the platform, stumbling over the hole in the carpet on the way. Then teacher got up, you remember, and said if you would all excuse Johnny she would read the poem, and there being nothing else to do under the circumstances but to excuse Johnny, you permitted her to go on with "The First Proclamation." The poem was no exception, for you found that in even those early days Governor Bradford's Thanksgiving greeting had to do with "eats." So shoulder your matchlocks, masters, there is hunting of all degrees; And fisherman, take your tackle and scour for spoils the seas. And maidens and dames of Plymouth, your delicate crafts employ, To honor our first Thanksgiving and make it a feast of joy. We fail of the fruits and dainties so close - at our hand In Devon, Ah! they are the lightest losses we suffer for sake of Heaven; But see In our open clearings how golden _ the melons •zs- Enrich them with sweets and spices and give us the pumpkin pte. Remember it, don't you? But even then it perplexed you to know why you were hearing so much about pumpkin pie as an attribute of Thanksgiving when in all your innocent young life you had never tasted a pumpkin. You did not know then that "pumpkin" is sort of poetic license for any kind of Thanksgiving pie. One of the very limited collection of poems for this season was dedicated to "Thanksgiving Pies," and this was delivered by a girl of the school, be* cause of her deeper understanding of the subject. Such baking, boiling, tasting, beating! Such preparation made for eating! Such unpremeditated joys For little hungry glrla and boys. You could hardly wait for tomorrow to come when you heard these lines. It was a very long poem, all about how the hungry girls and boys of a certain household appeased their hunger with pies cooling on the pantry shelf, and you thought how nice it must have been to eat those pies "twelve in number, brown as umber," though you had not the remotest idea what umber was for, save to rhyme with number. But you had a very definite idea that what would happen if you and your hungry little playmates should go and do likewise with the pies cooling.right then out on your mother's shelf. And right when your mouth was "watering like anything,'* that elocutionist from the big girls' class came and and told teacher she was going to recite a Thanksgiving poem for he was to speak, but «error that the [ t h e little children and teacher said: boys would guy him occupied his ("Very well, if you wish to." As for yountf brain to the exclusion of «11 • i t * « you, /on didn't wish her to. You 414 act like her brand of poems. "Cur* 4 holiday t few Shall Not Ring Tonight" was high in her repertoire, and "The Polish Boy" and "Spartacua to the Gladiators" and another about Robespierre in an unspeakable place where the poet would ne'er have sent him if he had been better behaved. Naturally you did not know the names of the poems then. These you have learned since from constant reading. At that time you knew what she was going to give by the gestures with which she began, and every piece she ever spoke struck terror to your young soul. Even her Thanksgiving treat for the children made you feel shamefaced about having been so excited over the holiday. "Thanksgiving—far what?"—and he muttered a, L'lirse- For the plainest of food and an empty purse? " But it Is idle to talk of a poor man'i woes. Even after this lapse of years, these features of the Thanksgiving entertainment linger in your memory and spring up when you pick up the paper and read the president's Thanks- + giving proclamation or the youngsters come in from school and announce: "Say, pop, I got to speak a piece Thanksgiving. Do you know any?" After a while, of course, Thanksgiving came to have other significance, too. There was the first year you wore long trousers and a flower in your buttonhole, it would be more appropriate to say bouquet in your lapel, for that was the season that men wore the most enormous chrysanthemum they could find as a boutonniere. They simply could not get the flower big enough. Remember how the cartoonists took it up and depicted the gilded youth wearing huge cabbages in their buttonholes? But it was a very serious matter to you, the selection of your chrysanthemum the Thanksgiving y»u donned long trousers, and you finally decided upon a great yellow one that made you appear to be bearing a glowing pumpkin to the Thanksgiving feast. Then after you attained to the dignity of a sweetheart to take to the Thanksgiving matinee. How did the theater come to be so inseparably connected with Thanksgiving celebration? It is, at any rate, so that when you present yourself at the box office as the afternoon performance is about to -begin-tha_ man insiders apt^to ask superiorly: "T>o you prefer to stand on the flrct floor or the second?" But you did not stand. You sat. "Eats" got shoved into the background around this period, and, dinner being late, as Thanksgiving dinner usually is, you instantly had to ask to have your pie saved for supper, the clock pointing perilously near the hour of two, and the gi/1 yet to be "called for." Many Thanksgivings have come and gone since that time and the celebration for you now probably means lining up your little family and marching them down to grandmother's where they will have a long, happy day playing and fighting with cousins from other offshoots of the parent tree, for about the only distinctive feature of thanksgiving, save the church service and "eats" and the football game, is the homecoming it inBpires. Then there is a hurry and bustle in the old house that it has not known since the boys and girls married and left one by one. The newest baby must be admired by all, and the family connection is called upon to notice that Bob's youngest no longer wears dresses. Then the women go into the kitchen, and by and by there is wafted out aromas from cooking things that ought never have been thought up in these days of high prices. But for once the housemother forgets the high cost of living. She beats up eggs as if they were selling around a cent apiece and, honestly, the way she drops hunks of butter into pots and pans you would think it just most nothing at all. But, like Christmas, Thanksgiving comes but once a year, and if we can't be a bit extravagant then, what is the u,ie of havins Ut* old L A D Y ' S DRESS.

Well kidneys keep the blood free, of uric acid, a deadly poison that is constantly forming inside the body. Sluggish kidneys allow the uric &c{d to accumulate, causing rheumatic attacks, headache, dizziness, gravel, urinary troubles, weak eyes, dropsy, and heart disease.

And, that the little gas openings in the arms of the burner are only pin hole size. So small they let out only half of a cubic foot of Acetylene in an hour. You might leave one of these Acetylene burners open by accident all day—and even then there wouldn't be gas enough in the air of the room to enable you to set fire to it if you tried. As a matter of fact, you wou[d have to leave the burner open fully three daya and nights in a room twelve by fourteen, windows and doors closed tight, before there would be any fire or explosion danger whatever. And the chance of your leaving a burner open that long is not worth considering. The pungent odor of the escaping gas would be certain to attract attention in a few seconds. Insurance Reports Say That in a Jist of 10,000 re*cent fires and accidents caused by illuminants, 9990 were charged to the misuse and abuse of electricity, kerosene, gasoline and city gas and only ten to the misuse and abuse of Acetylene. That's why the engineers of the National Insurance Board have endorsed Acetylene. They say it's safer than oil illuminants it is rapidly displacing. Comparing C o u n t r y Home Acetylene to its- first cousin, city gas, we find: That a standard city gas burner actually passes over ten times more gas in a given time than a standard A c e t y l e n e burner. That one hundred feet of Acetylene actually gives more light than athousand feet of city gas. That you could sleep under an open, unlighted Acetylene vurner -without harnf— whereas escaping city gas would put you out in short order. This does not, mean that the twenty million people who use city gas with safety and . comfort arc not enjoying the greatest of afl d t y The farmer's pure white Acetylene light shining from handsome brass and bronse chandeliers makes the most beautiful home illuminant in the world. It makes, too, an equally effective light in the special fixtures fastened solidly to the timbers and ceiling of his porches barns and outbuildings. He can and usually does equip all these lights with ignition attachments to light with the pull of a slender chain or rod—without matches. For the Woman Folks There is also the Acetylene cooking ranger— These ranges are very similar to those used in city homes throughout the world. They have the four top burners, high ovens, glass panel door, the heat indicator and all the modem labor saving features. No less than two hundred and fifty thousand country families will tonight gather around Acetylene lighted tables and eat food cooked on Acetylene ranges. Most of these families make their own gas. Those who make it to best advantage use Pilot Lighting Plants These Pilot plants are strictly automatic, they simply require filling —with Union Carbide and wateronce a month—they do aU the rest.

TO TELL CONDITION OF Maori Rule It 8lmplef the Chief Idea te Keep In Mind Being the COAtny- jneji^eLihePlanet. Few people can tell at a grance whether the moon Is waxing or waning. Here la a whimsical rule to remember by. It is very simple to those who know Latin and is not difficult for those who do not. The flret thing is to notice whether the moon is like a D or a C—that ie, whether the full aemi-circular curve is on the right or the left. If the moon shows a D that naturally stands for discredit, "It wanes" But then comes in the great principle Luna semper fallasc (the moon is always deceitful), and one has to understand the opposite of what the moon says, so that a moon which shows 4k D is a waxing moon, while a waning moon is like a C. Those who have no Latin will no doubt look to see whether the moon says it is decreasing, in which case they will understand that it is waxing, while a waning moon will deny that it is decreasing. Oyeil Oyex! Oyest One may not be ignorant, perhaps, that French, old French, remains as the language used in certain royal proclamations in England. So when "the king's assent" is given before the throne in "the painted chamber," the elerk cries in the language of our fathers, "Le roy le vealf ("The king so pleases"). If the bill that he is asked to approve is a money bill the clerk adds after a profound obeisance: "The king thanks his good] subjects, accepts their benevolence and is pleased." The proclamation on ascending* the throne is preceded by the traditional call of the French her* aide of former times: "Oyesl OyesI OyeslM Uaa, that time has disfigured this old word of oar country, and today the phlegmatic English herald cries thrfc* to th« jwonla, '-lO yesl^ T: * *?

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, November 27, 1913 No. 48 # / / &, Taxpayers - Attention! The^ Increased Expense For Street Lighting the Coming Year Increased Nearly Fifty Per Cent Aba meeting of the coin moo council of the village of Pinckney last Wednesday evening a n9W contract for lighting the village streets was granted to the Clinton -Electric tttght & Power Co. ^The new contract piovides for 45 lights, same to be lighted one-half houij after sunset and to run until 11$0 p. m, standard time, at the rate of $18.00 per light per year. The lights are to be run 20 /nights each month and all the lamps,- 75 watt* each in size, must be ! purchased by the village at once. The contract lasts for one year only beginning December 14,1913 and running to December 14,1914. That, to the best of our knowledge at least, is the wisest and most far seeing move of the whole deal. Perhapt our meaning should be explained that the above statement may be more fully understood. Under the old contiact the village was paying $15.00 per light per year, lightB running from dusk until 10:30 p. m. for 17 nights each month, 39 lights in number, the company furnishing the lamps. According to the new contiact the village must pay $3.00 more per light, also must purohaee the lamps themselves at a cost of 60o per lamp, total $27.00 for the 45 lights, all future breakage to be paid by said village. Our total village income will not exceed $2,000. Practically half of that income has already been contracted out for street .lighting. With that portion of the village income already gone and no other expenses figured in, there will be practically nothing left at the end of the year. How the council figure out that they can pay this $275.00 above the usual annual amount is a questionable problem. Ross Bead and Pres. O. L. Sigier ^were the only council melnobers opposed to such action. The council proceedings should be published in the Pinckney Dispatch so that the people may know how their money is proportioned out each yerfr, but $12.00 per year, for such publication, was beyond the means of the council and consequently they are not published. Fnnny isn't it how large some things appear, and yet how small are others? J. Church Graduate Optometrist, of Howell, Mich., will DH in Pinckney, Thursday, Deo. 4th, at the Pi nekney House.

Leouora Marie Lake was bom in Ireland of Catboilc parentage In 1849. Two and a half years later ber parents brought ber to this country. She lived all ber girlhood ou a farm in northern New York. The summer she was sixteen she taught district school and "boarded round." She married when quite young and was widowed within three yean. With three children looking to her for necessaries of life, work was an imperative demand. Precipitated thus suddenly into a hitherto unknown field, she became deeply interested in the conditions under which toiled the great industrial army of our land and soon developed into a champion of working women and children. The Knights of Labor, at that time the most prominent labor organization In the country, appealed to ber for many reasons, but most particularly because of the plank in its platform of principles demanding "equal pay for The Fact Remains No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no juggling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder has been found by the official examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free from alum, and of absolute purity and wholesomeness.

It is often that someone comes or goes that the* reporter does not see. It happens that the family is missed several times. They get the impression that the editor does not care to mention them. This is a mistake. In most towns the local work is the hardest work connected with a newspaper. A man may be a good editorial writer, but aflat failure in local work, and vice versa. Editorial material is obtained by study, by reading newspapers, sometimes by using scissors. Personals and local happenings earnings. Don't be afraid to tell tile editor or reporter that you have friends visiting you, There are lots of people who are interested in your friends. You owe it as a duty to them to, let your friends know of their doings. Perhaps you think the paper shows partiality, but just see if the paper doesn't treat you right if you give it a chance.

David , Kerr Is the political boss of the town. and is anxious to prevent his daughter learning of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, Is negotiating with Judge Gilbert, Kerr's chief adviser, for a valuable franchise. They fear the opposition of Joe Wright, editor of the reform paper. Kerr asks the assistance of Judge Gilbert In introducing Gloria to Belmont society, and promises to help him put through the packers' franchise and let him have all the graft. Gloria meets Joe Wright at the Gilberts. It appears, they are on Intimate terms, having met previously In a touring party In Europe. The Gilberts Invite Gloria to •tay with them pending the refurnishing I w i t h fine diBdain of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight ^ «„»,* v~„>-„ against the proposed franchise In the columns of nls paper, the Belmont News. Kerr, through his henchmen, exerts every Influence to hamper Wright In the publication of his paper. Gloria realizes she is not being received by the best society and is unhappy. She takes up settlement work. Kerr and his lieutenants decide to buy Kerr's paper and ask the .editor to meet them at Gilbert's office. Calling at Gilbert's office to solicit a donation Gloria meets Wright. He proposes and is accepted while waiting to be called Into the conference. Wright refuses to sell his paper and declares he will fight to a finish. CHAPTER XIV—Continued. "You are Just a little Hasty In your [Judgment, Mr. Wright," Judge Gilbert said, when he saw that the publisher seemed to regard his answer as final. "If you'll consider the matter carefully I think it'll appear to you in this light: Here's a paper that isn't making expenses. A good offer is made you which if you are wise enough to accept will permit you to leave Belmont far richer than when you came. There are other lances to be broken elsewhere. Why tilt here against a stone wall?" "If it were a stone wall there'd have been no offer." Wright was shrewd enough to know that they must be in desperate straits. "See here, young man," Kerr blazed, •"you won't be able to make a go of it. If you don't sell now I'll see to it that some day the sheriff will." / T h i s direct threat was more than he could bear. Rising from his chair Wad leaning across the table the publisher shook his fist in Kerr's face and told him just what he thought of the situation. Remembering who was on the other side of the door he was facing, he did not raise his voice, but into his low tones he put all the Are of his honest indignation. "You may put me down and out, as you boast you can, but you can't buy me out. You've scared advertisers so they're afraid to use my paper, you've had me sued for libel, you've raised my taxes, you've made the railroads hold up my white paper, you've annoyed me in a thousand petty ways, but I'm getting out a paper every day. and I'm telling the truth. That'B what hurts," he hurled across the table. "I'm telling the truth. You can't stand it." "God knows Belmont needs somebody to tell the truth! If you took my paper today, who'd stand between "Licked! Licked! I've Just Begun to Fight." the people of Belmont and the wolves? The town's being robbed blind. I'm telling about it, and I believe there are enough honest people to tee me through and set the town right. But they need a leader—a newspaper—and I* won't sell 'em out. "For,;what's coming," he announced sternly, "hold yourself responsible, not me. You forced me to come out with the bald truth of the matter. Maybe you know and maybe you don't know that you of all men are the one I would least care to hold up for the public to see, Today—for the first time—I printed my name at the Head of my editorial page. . I want people to know that hack of the paper* a back of the man I'm going to have the people. Do you hear? Belmont's going to be a clean city." He leaned across the table and looked the boss straight in the eye, emphasizing his last words by bringing his fist down on the table with each telling 4Xjrtnt he drove bowe "You'd better go slow,, young man," cautioned Kerr "I ain't played my hand, you know. You've put irp a good fight; that's why I'm giving you a good chance to git out without admitting you've been licked." "Licked! Lioked!" echoed Wright "I've Just begun to fight. You're nearer a worse defeat at this minute than you ever were before in all your life. You're going down and the people of Belmont are going to keep you down If I have anything to do with it. Don't insult me by trying to buy ray paper. I've the dearest reason in the world for v.-anting money and for leaving Belmont— but if I go without a dollar I can still hold up my -head and look every man in the eye." Kerr now looked at him without visible show of anger, in that cold, cal culating manner he had taught every one tc fear. "Then you won't sell?"-he said. . "No," shouted Wright, beside himself with indignation at the offer; "I'll see you in hell first." What further might have been said there is no telling. The words were scarcely out of Wright'B mouth when he saw the door opposite him open and Gloria appear. Instantly he relaxed from his tense, strained manner, and, rioting his change, the other men turned to find that David Kerr's daughter was the cause. She stood in the doorway hesitatingly, recognizing that she was Interrupting a business meeting. "I beg your pardon," she said, "but from the window I saw Mrs. Hayes on the street, and I thought I'd go to her." "I'll join you," Wright announced. He left his place at the table and walked over to where Gloria was standing. "I suppose the meeting is over," ventured Gilbert. "It is, as far as I'm concerned," said the newspaper man. Then, looking at Kerr, he added, "I think I've made my position perfectly clear." CHAPTER XV. Gloria's announced intention of rejoining Mrs. Hayes was not the only motive that had brought her into the library. The angry hum of voices had been borne to her even through the closed door, and with a woman's impatience and curiosity she was anxious to know what was going on. Greater, than all else, however, was her desire to be with Wright. She thought that by appearing she could bring matters to a conclusion and carry off witli her the man she loved. Now that she was in the library and Wright had said that he was ready to go whenever she was, David Kerr's daughter forgot about her desire to go to Mrs. Hayes Dr. Hayes and his wife were returning to Judge Gilbert's office when Gloria had seen them, and soon Williams ushered them into the library. The presence of the two women prevented all open discussion of political matters. Even had it not been for Miss Ken* and Mrs. Hayes there could have been no controversy, because after Wright had made his position clear he would not talk further about it. Now he was merely waiting for Gloria. "I thought you said you wouldn't be long," was the way, in a playful attempt at seriousness, Gloria upbraided her sovereign lord when -they found themselves a little apart from the others. "It wasn't my fault," was all he could say. "You haven't told father, have you?" "No. He wasn't in the mood,for such a pleasing revelation. I hope you've thought about leaving for St. Louis tonight ItV now Imperative that you go." "I thought about it, dear, but 1 can't go. What would I say to father** Wright was on the point of again urging her to leave Belmont whan he heard the faint cries of newsboy} far down the street Nearer and nearer came the boys. Louder and louder were their cries. Street sales in Bel* mont were so small that the little urchins who sold papers to o u n c e customers were never very noisy? An unusual clamor on their part betokened some extraordinary pie** of news. Their shouts at last began to attract the attention of others in. the room. Kerr, Kendall and Hayas looked [ they began to distinguish the cries of 1 \ one boy in advance of the others, the three men walked hastily to the window and looked out on the street. Everyone was rushing for a paper, or else standing with the sheet iu his hand staring at the first page with its big black type. Recovering himBelf suddenly, Wright tried to talk to Gloria to drown the noise, but it was too late. "What is that noise? What are they shouting for?" she asked. "Listen." She put her hand on his arm as a signal to say nothing while she tried to hear what the boys were saying. "Extry Extry! Get a News! All about the grafters! Extry! Read the big steal! Full account o' the railroad grab! Big men and boodlers in combine! Extry! Extry!" It was now a flood of sound as the boys came under the window. "What's it all about?" the girl asked. "That's nothing, only a crowd of newsboys raising a racket. Gloria, listen to me. We must get away from here. Even if you're happy in Belmont, I'm not. Won't you do this for me? Let's get away from this office and talk it over." She shook her head, and refugee to move. "Gloria, you must do as 1 say without question. Just this once, please." Both turned at this instant, ab did the others, startled by a hubbub in the outer office. Suddenly the door was burst open violently by yoiirg Jim WInthrow, the Banner's political reporter. He rushed breathlessly into the room, flourishing a copy of- the Belmont News. Following him came Williams with a look of amazement on his face as he read the headlines of the copy of the paper he had. "Judge Gilbert! Judge Gilbert!" gasped the reporter, with eyes for no one else. "Have you seen the News? Big story 'bout the belt line railway an(Tthe 'lection! Gimme the facts so I can show the News up." "Let me see your paper." "Here it is—with big headlines." Wright knew better than anyone else in the room what was in the paper. What was written there was not for Gloria's eyes to see, nor for her ears to hear. "You must go, Gloria. Don't stay for this; I'll drive you to Locust Lawn." He was almost out of the room with her when something the reporter said caused her to stop. "The News says David Kerr is back of it," exclaimed Winthrow, holding up the paper for Judge Gilbert to see, "and that it's the biggest steal iu the history of Belmont." "What's that?" Kerr demanded, coming forward. "I didn't see you, Mr. Kerr," the reporter apologized, "but here it is on the front page." "Come, Gloria," Wright pleaded with her. "I can't go yet" Beside her stood Williams, still engaged In reading the flaring headlines of the paper he had brought into the room with him. She seized his paper from him and began to read the startling words. "It's an infamous lie!" shouted Gilbert, crushing in his hands the paper he had been scanning. "Dr. Hayes, will you please escort Miss Gloria.and Mrs. Hayes to their carriage?" "Stop!" commanded Gloria. The hum of indignation sweeping over the room was stilled. All turned to the daughter of David Kerr. "IB this true ?" , <«*an—a man that won't tell out, and .at Wright questioningly. Then. at-Ushed the lie." "What?" asked Gilbert. "What the paper says?" She held up the paper, her hands trembling Then she began to read; "If the party now in power wins, Belmont will surely be gold to the merciless stock-yards terminal trust. The deal, which means millions for the unscrupulous promoters and nothing for Belmont, has been engineered by that king of underhand manipulators, one nn less unscrupulous than the very men to whom he would sell his town, David Kerr!" There was horror in her tones and she held the paper from her as a thing unclean. v "Is this true?" she demanded imperiously. "Not a word of it," Judge Gilbert was quick to answer. ^ "Not you." She turned to David Kerr. "Father, is it true?" The boss of Belmont looked tike some wounded wild animal brought to bay. He gazed with speechless rage at Joe Wright and then looked at his daughter. -She stood with arm outstretched to him, a mute but eloquent appeal for a denial. The big man shook himself, as if calling forth oil bis strength for a final effort end straightened himself to his full height Looking her squarely in the eye be replied firmly: "No, Gloria, it ain't true." The sigh she gave aa her arm dropped. to her side seemed to be a prayer of thanksgiving that be had come through the, ordeal unscathed She knew he would, but she wanted the words of denial from his own Up* Her next order showed every onf that she was the daughter of David Kerr. "Then punish the man who pub Wright's heart seemed to stop beating as he heard the words that had in them all the finality of a funeral bell Kerr had his own reasons for wish ing to minimize the matter. Joe Wright he would willingly, gladly have sacrificed, but he did not know how it would react on Gloria, He could find means to make the newspaper man Buffer without Gloria being cognizant of the fact. "That's just Western politics." The boss tried to pass it off tightly. "Don't let that bother you." "He must be punished, I say" Her indignation knew no bounds. "Would you let it go unchallenged that I am the. daughter of such a man?" Kerr was aroused by her spirited manner. It would be necessary, he saw, for him to carry it through to the end. "Suppose it was Joe Wright?" be asked. The occasion was too serious for a smile, but in her heart she laughed away the suggestion. She wanted to show her contempt for a man who through a newspaper would utter such lies, and she therefore replied: "That can't be. He isn't that kind of a man. But it.he did, I would still say—" "It is Joe Wright," Kerr roared All leaned forward to hear what the girl would say. "Then I would still say, 'Punish Joe Wright.' " From Wright's lips there burst forth one word: "Gloria!" He came a step toward her. and she turned to him with an assuring smile. "I don't believe it, Joe."

The two stood gazing at each other, utterly oblivious of everything else in the world. In her eyes there was nothing of doubt. She put into her look all the love and confidence she had promised would always be hiB. With Wright it was far otherwise. No matter what he said, the fact could not be kept from her. She would Investigate. " At the top of his editorial page that day were the words, "Owned and edited by Joseph Wright." He had just sworn that he^would be the champion of the people of Belmont, and here at his first trial he was quaillng~under the eyes of the woman he loved. With a wrench he tore himself away from his dear desire to save her from pain and answered huskily: "You don't understand." "You!" she cried in an agony of despair as she "realized he was confessing. A single movement of his head showed his assent. "Oh, you coward!" Her disgust was overpowering. The withering contempt she 'put into her words was equaled by her look of scorn. He started to speak, but with a gesturof impatience she stopped him. "AH your words are lies, lies, lies! And to think that I promised within this hour to be your wife! You make me hate myself for ever having looked at you. Now 1 understand why you urged me to leavtf" Belmont." Again he tried to speak. "Not a word. I'll not listen to you. Father, take mf home."

Natural Quality Require* That They 8hoold Be Boiled and Steamed Before They Are Put Into the Sirup. just as soon as quinces turn yellow they are ready fox preserving It might be said at the start that quince* require boiling or steaming before being put into the airup, differing from tb.3 usual order of preserving. This is because they aro a very hard fruit, and the hot sugar only tends to make them harder. To proceed: Pare, core, and quarter the trutt, dropping into cold water to preserve the color. Put skins and cores Into a separate vessel. When all are prepared put two layera or so into the kettle and cover with cold water. Cook over a slow fire until tender. Take out carefully. and when all are cooked, strain the water and allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pint of juice. Cook for ten minutes, skimming until the sirup Is clear, then put in as much fruit as it will cover. Simmer very gently for half an hour, or if the quinces turn red before this tbey are ready to be removed to the jars. Let the sirup cook a little logger, then pour over the fruit and seal the jars. Quinces Preserved With Apples.— Sweet apples should be used. The two fruits make a delicious preserve, and will cost less than the quinces alone. The proportions are one-third of quartered appless to two-thirds of quince. The appless will take less time to cook than the quinces, both in the water and in the sirup. In tilling the Jars, put alternate layers of the fruit and pour boiling sirup over, sealing at once. Quinces With Cider and Molasses.— This la a favorite southern recipe. The fruit Is to be pared, cored and halved, then boiled in sweet cider until tender. Take out and add to the liquid one quart of molasses and one pound of sugar to five pounds of quinces. Beat up the white of an egg and put into the sirup to clear it, bringing \o a boil and skimming until quite clear. Take off the fire, and when half cold put in the fruit and boil for fifteen minutes. ' More cider may be added if necessary. A little green ginger boiled In the sirup is an improvement Quince Marmalade.—Cores, peel and imperfect fruit can be aiade into a marmalade or a cheeBe. After thoroughly cooking the fruit, strain through a sieve and allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit Boil, stirring constantly until smooth and firm, then pack into jars., A little orange peel chopped fine will add to the flavor. Quince Cheese.—This is made by cooking the marmalade until it is very thick. If packed Into small jars it can be turned out and may be cut like cheese. Quince Water Ice.—To make thlt> unusual confection, pare and cut into thin slices three large quinces. Cover with four eupfuls of water and one of sugar. Bring all to a boil, keeping a4, that temperature for fifteen minutes. Strain and put into the freezer. Roasted Tripe. Take about a pound and a half of tripe, wash and boil It in milk and water for an hour. Cut into two oblong pieces of equal size. Spread on ' the fat side of one piece some 'good veal force meat and lay upon It the ' other piece, the flat Inside inwards. Roll and skewer the tripe securely, tie it sound with a thin string. Place In the roasting pan, dredge with flour 1 and ^ baste liberally. When done enough, serve on a hot dish and garnish with siloed lemon.

A movement is on foot to have the county road system submitted to vote in Livingston county. The system is much needed there. Livingston is one of the richest counties in the state, and has some of the worst roads.—Michigan Roads and Forests. The Department^ Public Instruction at Lansing has recently published a comprehensive digest of the schooTlaw which wTUBeoF valuable service to school officers. It presents the various school laws in a clear, concise manner and also gives instructions concerning the keeping of the district books aud making out the annual reports. There are innumerable ways to boost your town a little without any expense to yourself, One is to buy your ticket at the local stations bufore getting on the trails. The request is made at the depot by a sign; in cities this1 is required. The larger the revenue from the local offices, the more important Pinckney will be considered by the railways. This may be of no present benefit, but when the question of building a new depot, enlarging the accommodations or any proposition involving the village and the company, it will help. There is only one reason why you should not buy a ticket, and that is the chance that you may be skipped in the collection. There is but little chance of this; there is a state law providing against free rides and it is jgsfe as shad, to steal a ride aft"it is to,steal anything else.

ARRESTS FOLLOW BOLD AUTO DELIVERY. Soldier Who Protests Is Drugged and Taken to Rebel Camp. Returns and Tells On Guilt/ Troopers. Douglas, Ariz.—Twelve troopers of the Ninth United States cavalry (Negro) and a quartermaster sergeant named Shephard were arrested charged with selling government arms, ammunition and accoutrement to the Mexican rebels. For three months there had been noticed a systematic disappearance of large quantities of ammunitions of war from the headquarters in both the Douglas and Naco squadron camps. Both of these border towns are separated from Mexico by only an imaginary "frontier line" and the gang of soldiers who entered into a compact to supply the rebels encountered few obstacles once they had slipped the articles from the quartermaster's stores. Becoming bold through the continued success of their operations, two high powered automobiles were driven into camp, the sentinel being bribed to permit them to pass. The machines were then loaded with rifles, revolvers and 3,200 rounds of governmenl ammunition, the troopers, it is alleged, aiding in the work of loading. The cars were then driven back across the international border at a point about one mile east of Douglas and only 400 yards from the army camp. One trooper was drugged and taken on to the rebel camp at Agua illegal sale of the government supplies. He returned to camp after an absence of 24 hours, telling his experiences. The American officers immediately sent a terse demand that the supplies be returned without loss of time. This demand was complied with and the ammunition which had already been distributed among the soldiers of the rebel garrison was brought to the international line by an armed Mexican guard and turned over to a detail of American troopers. Delinquent List is Small. Lansing, Mich.—Out of 36,000,000 acres of land in Michigan, only 22,627 acres and 7,081 lots in villages and cities will be subject to deeding to the state on account of non-payment of taxes for the past five years and more, according to information given out by Auditor-General Fuller. The 22,627 acres constitute 415 descriptions.

FOOTBALtWTALITIES Fourteen Killed By Pastime During Season Just Closed. Many Are Injured. Chicago—Fourteen killed and 185 injured players comprise the levy exacted by King Football during the season of 1913, which practically closed with Saturday's gamesi This grim record is slightly above that of 1912, when 13 met death and 183 were injured. These figures are taken from press reports which often do not give the full number of injured. The 185 represents only the injured who were Incapacitated for several days at least. Instances where a player was stunned during a game and taken out but later returned to the line-up are not included. Only those In which broken bones, torn ligaments, broken tendons, internal injuries and severe sprains, strains and wrenches are considered in compiling the record. RADICALS FAIL TO DEVELOP STRENGTH IN AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. PHILADELPHIA GETS T H E N E X T CONVENTION. John Mitchell Retires From Office and Wins Fight for John P. White to Sucoeed Him On Executive Board. Passenger Pigeons Are Found. Lansing, Mich.—Chief Deputy Game Warden David R. Jones has received a letter from Richard O'Reilly, of Brutus, Emmet county, in which the etate department Is informed ; that there la a flock of passenger pigeons on the O'Reilly farm. The state game warden's department will investigate. If the assertions of O'Reilly are true, the discovery of the pigeons is of great importance, for Jones declares that scientists have said there was no trace anywhere la the world of any passenger pigeons left. Jones says he remembers years ago, especially In 1810, when Michigan was a feeding ground for these birds, although BO trace of ally has been found sines that time. Jones also says that rn us euros have offered aa high aa $6,- 000 for a single pair of the birds. p'Roilly is a naturalist of some note.

Hammel is Hotel Inspector. Lansing, Mich.—The state, labor, health, dairy and food departments have finally solved the question of a hotel inspector and at a meeting of the three departments, James F. Hammel, of Lansing, former mayor of the city, and present chief clerk of the labor department, was appointed. He will have his office in the state labor department and all correspondence will be handled by him. Factory inspectors of the department and special agents are given the title of deputy hotel Inspectors. W. T. , Thome, of Owosso, recently appointed hotel inspector but who could not serve, due to a ruling of the attorney-general that the law did not make an extra appropriation for caarylng on the work, was named as special agent of the labor department. In short, the inspectors of the three departments will act as hotel inspectors under Tammel and the departments will pay fer-tne-work; — Seattle, WaBh.—The American Federation of Labor adjourned Saturday night after electing officers- and chosing Philadelphia as the place of its next convention, which will assemble on the second Monday of November, 1914.

Wheeler, of Los Angeles, by a vote of 14,603 to 3,884. John Mitchell nominated Mahon and Wheeler's vote was looked on as a test of Socialist strength. A conference of delegates was held at which it was agreed to place John P. White on the executive board, as John Mitchell had desired. This removed all talk of opposition to Samuel Gompers for the presidency. The election of Mr. Gompers was unanimous. The vote on convention city was: Philadelphia, 10,634; Fort Worth, Texas, 8,432. Harry Is Arrested Again. Concord, N. H.—Judge Aldrich Tuesday ordered the rearrest of Harry K. Thaw, an action which -follows the governor's decision to permit the extradition of Stanford White's slayer. The decision of the court was a formal one for the purpose of clearing the record, and immediately precipitated a row among the attorneys over the custody of Thaw. The new*arrest was, as a consequence, delayed pending the discussion of the technicalities involved. Confesses to Killing Field. Los Angeles, Cal.—A calm confession that she killed Marshall Field, Jr., in the Everleigh club in Chicago several years ago was the striking feature of the story of a vampire woman, told by herself following her arrest here.

The direful effects of opium upon animals and the fearful temptation it is to some of them are set forth in a recent number of the French Gasette des Hopitaux, which quotes some strange evidences gathered by Francis Gamier in China in 1873. "The culture of the poppy," writes Garnier, "has caused a most important article—wax—to disappear, from the market of Yunnan. According to the natives, the tfees; formerly very numerous in this part of China, have experienced for the poppy flower the same .morbid liking* that the Chinese feel for the juice that is drawn from its fruit. In the season when the poppy fields are in bloom these insects come in crowds to ransack them, but they are unable afterward to regain their taste for other food, and they perish after two successive seasons. .."Another example of this singular attraction that the poppy exerts upon animals as well as upon men was called to our attention. In an opium refinery in the city it was noticed that the rats came every evening in great numbers to snuff the fumes that arose from the furnaces. Following the sudden occupation of Yunnan by the Mo* hammedans the refinery was closed down and was abandoned for a time. When a newowh^IdWpbtfsession he found upon the wattling that remained tn place many dead rata. These had died of hunger while waiting for the pleasure they had been accustomed to enjoy in breathing the opium fumes." Count Transfers by Weight. Several electric railway companies, Including those in Detroit and-Philadelphia are using a machine for weighing them. This machine is so delicate that it can be used for count* ing items weighing from 1-25,000 ounce to 15 pounds each in capacities ranging from eight to six tons.—Electric Railway Journal. - • '* * " i | i .1,111 'i Arranging a Prop,ram* "What did you do tn vaudeville on the Crimson Gulch circuit?" asked the blonde lady. * - < "I sans;," replied the lady who waa still more blonde.

Last year and the year before, and the year before that, the farm product* of Western Canada carried off flrtt premiums, championships and honours, together with medals and diplomas, feats that were likely to give a swelled head to any other people than those who had so much more behind. At Columbus, Ohio, and then again at Columbia, North Carolina, a farmer of Saskatchewan carried off the highest prize for oats, and in another year, will become the possessor of- the $1,500 Colorado Trophy; another farmer made two successful exhibits of wheat at the biggest shows In the United States; another farmer of Manitoba won championships and sweepstake at the live stock show in Chicago, and this year expects to duplicate his successes of last year. These winnings are the more creditable as none of tHe cattle were ever fed any corn, but raised and fattened on nature grasses and small grains. At the Dry Farming Congress held at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and Saskatchewan, farmers carried off the principal prizes competing with the world. The most recent winnings of Canada'have been made at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where seven of the eighteen sweepstakes rewards at the International Soil Products Exposition were taken by Canada in competition with eleven states. The chief prize, a thrashing machine, valued at $1,200 for the best bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan. Montana took four of the sweepstakes, Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two. Russia sent one delegate, Spain bad two, Belgium three, China four, Canada fifty, Mexico five, Norway one, Brazil three. i In the district in which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack is to be congratulated as well as the Province of Saskatchewan, and Western Canada as a whole, for the great succeBS that has been achieved in both grain and cattle.—Advertisement. JUDGE COULDN'T SEE JOKE Prison Sentence Followed Atrocious Pun Perpetrated by Prisoner • In Dock. "You are charged," said the justice, "as a suspected person carrying firearms." "Well, your honor—I mean, your worship—that is, your lord," stuttered the defendant, "it's a mistake. It wasn't an offense; it was all a joke— and a good one." "Explain yourself!" said the justice, gazing at him solemnly. "Well, sir, It's all a rather elaborate preparation for an excellent pun I am in the habit of perpetrating on occasion. It takes a long time to explain, hut it's very funny." "Go on!" said the J. P., sternly. "Well, sir; first you get a pair of old pistols and put them in your pocket, you see? Then you get the company to speak about balloons. It's rather difficult sometimes; but you can lead up to it by calling the last speakeiLa- gas baeVJMie's a little fellow."

SAYRE Second Daughter of President Wedded in White House. SIMPLICITY MARKS CEREMONY Bride Makes Charming Appearance In Ivory Satin and Old Lace—Wedding Gifts Many and Beautiful, but Are Not Displayed. Washington, Nov. 26.—Late this afternoon Francis BoweB Sayre and Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second of President Wilson's three daughters, stood before Rev. Sylvester Beach in the east room of the White House and were made man and wife. The entire affair was very simple, as had been requested by the bride, and the number of guests was rather small—distressingly so to many persons in official and Bocial circles of Washington who had expected to receive invitations but were disappointed. Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, eldest of the three daughters, acted as maid of honor to her sister, and Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, tbe youngest, was one of the bridesmaids. The three other bridesmaids were Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Princeton, daughter of Prof. William - B. Scott; Miss Marjorle Brown of Atlan z Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. ta, Pa., daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cousin, Col. E. T Brown, and Miss Mary G. White of Baltimore, a college friend of the bride. Or. Grenfell Is Best Man. Mr. Sayre was attended by his best man, Dr Wilfred T. Crenfell. the famous m<MUoa4-mig&lonaFy to ihe-fishermen of the Labrador coast, The two men have long been fast friends and Mr. Sayre spent two summers helping Dr. Grenfell with his work The ushers were Charles E. Hughes, Jr., son of Justice Hughes of the Supreme court and a classmate of Mr. Sayre in the Harvard law school; Or Gilbert Horax of Montclair. N. J., who as a classmate at Williams college n 1909 and now at Johns Hopkins university; Benjamin Burton of New York city, and Dr. Scoville Clark of Salem, Mass., who was Mr. Sayre's companion in Labrador and Newfoundland. Wedding Gown of Ivory Satin. The bride's gown was of satin, of a soft Ivory tint, trimmed with beautiful la*ce, both old and rare. It was made In New York and tbe women connoisseurs declared that it was a masterpiece. The lingerie in tbe trousseau is of the most dainty material and is all hand made. The maid of honor and bridesmaids were beautifully gowned and all looked tbetr best. Coming right Ins the midst of the chrysanthemum season, this was made a chrysanthemum wedding and that flower was used most profusely in adorning the White House. As the bride's favorite color is mauve, that was made .the prevailing color hi the decorations. Tbe east room, and indeed all the -rooms in the president's mansion, were beautiful indeed: Depart on Their Honeymoon. After the ceremony was completed and the couple had received the congratulations of the guests, refresh menu -were served, and then Mr. and Mrs, Sayre departed for their honeymoon. Their plans Include a visit to the home of Miss Nevln. Mr. Sayre's aunt,*t Windlox Forges, near Churchtown. Pa., where they first met. After January 1 they will live in Williamstown, Mass., for Mr. Sayre is to sever bis connection with the office of District Attorney Whitman in New York and becpine assistant to Harry A- Garfield, president of Williams college. There was one disappointment for those who attended the wedding, for the gifts were not put on display. It is known that these Included many beautiful and valuable articles sent by relatives and personal friends of the bride and groom and of their families and by admirers of President Wilson. Handsome presents were sent by both the senate and the house, tbat of the latter being a diamond lavalllere which Miss Genevieve Clark, Francis Bowes Sayre. daughter of the speaker, bought for the representatives in New York. The gift of the senate was a magnificent silver service. The French ambassador, M. Jusserand, presented the bride with some priceless tapestries, very much like those he gave to Alice Roosevelt when she was married.' The Marquis Cusani Confalonleri, retiring ambassador from Italy, and the marchioness gave four massive silver candlesticks, a foot high and elaborately engraved. From the representatives of many other countries, including Japan, Cuba and Panama, handsome presents were received. The Russian ambassador and Mme. Bakhmeteff gave the bride a Jeweled umbrella handle, the product of a Moscow firm of goldsmiths, heavily studded with precious and semi-precious stones, all of which were mined in the domains of the czar. Guests Limited to 400. Those who were invited to witness the wedding were mostly personal friends and the number was kept down close to four hundred. The list was pared and revised several times, and as has been said, the operation resulted in many heartburnings. From the house of representatives' circle, for instance, the only guests were Speaker -Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader Underwood and Mrs. Underwood, and Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann. As might be expected, the streets outside the White House were as crowded as tbe police would permit with curious persons eager to watch the arrival and departure of the guests and trying to obtain through the windows a glimpse of the doings withfn. The police arrangements were admir- 1 Miss Margaret Wilson. able and nothing happened, in the White House or outside, to mar the happy occasion. Immense Wedding Cake. Jessie WffsoCs wedding cake was a triumph of the pastry cooks art. It was two and a half feet-tall; counting the white orchlde that were placed on top of it, and weighed 135 pounds. The first layer was four incaea thick and 22 Inches across. The cake contained 19 ingredient* and its coat was about 1500 Over the body of the cake was molded a thick whlte'lcfng scroll work* on it* top was a design for the Initials of the bride and groom, done ta silver, and around the sides were lilies of' the valley in white sngar. This delicious confection was distributed In fcOoO dainty white box— tied with satin ribbon and each of the proper size to go under the pillow of the recipient to bring dreams. The wedding of Mr. Sayre and Miss Wilson was the thirteenth to be celebrated in the White House, but the bride has always considered 13 her lucky number instead of a hoodoo. There have been more than twenty weddings in which either the bride or groom resided in the White House, and the last wedding ceremony performed there was the one which united Alice Rootevelt and Nicholas Longworth. Today's event was much quieter than that one, and the guests not nearly so numerous. ] Mrs. Sayre a Sxiclal Worker. Mrs. Sayre was born in Gainsville, ' Pa., twenty-five years ago.

Then Mrs. Madison's sister, Lucy, was married to Judge Todd of Kentucky.

A remedy that does not perform b y force w h a t should be accomplished by persuasion is Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets. After using them, Dr. Hamilton Rice, noted English explorer, and his companion, Lieut. P. P. Rltter von Bauer of the Sixth Dragoons, Vienna, have arrived at New York from Manaos, Brazil. Both men had many thrilling storles^to relate of their experiences when exploring In the South American jungles. For 30 months they searched for the sources /tff the Amazon and the Orinoco riven* and traversed country through which no human being ever before had gone. "The country we entered," said Dr. Rice, "was wilder than Africa at the time Livingston first entered it." "We discovered that the Amazon and the Orinoco both have their origin near the same spot; In fact, their small feed streams interlock^ and are Trot, as most maps indicate, widely separated. We came across tigers and tapirs which were almost as tame as a household pet. For 60 days at a time we did not see a human being outside of our own party of 12; so you see we passed through country which never before had been entered by a human being." Fair Algeriennee.

The Mohammedan men are intensely jealous and suspicions of women. Keeping them in utter ignorance, as they do, they know that the women have no guiding principles to save them from being foolish and indiscreet; and the men know, too, that their women are governed by their appetites, vanities and pasBions, and so keep them as wholly as possible from temptation.

QUALITY FIRST QUALITY should be the first and main consideration in buying Lumber aud Building Material. Don't forget that. Lumber that costs you $2 a thousand more may; really be worth *20 more to you in the long run, because good lumber, in the first place, means less repair bills. True, there are certain parts of buildings where the cheaper grades of stock can be economically and successfully used, but when it comes to the outside and places that have lots of wear aud tear on them, get the best lumber possible, and not the cheapest. No matter what kind of Lumber you buy here — the cheaper or better grades—we always give you the highest quality for the price. Ta R E A D , Pinckney RHEUMATIC SUFFERER*..

Our artist has taken the old familiar story and brought it up to date. He ha? given Mother a modern up to date Acetylene cooking range. It may surprise you to learn that such ranges are actually being used by the women folks in over two hundred thousand country homes. As you will note from the picture, they are duplicates of city gas ranges used throughout the world. They furnish heat on tap—and have the high ovens with glass doors and all other modern features. If you feel that your folks would appreciate the convenience of gas for lighting and cooking—if you feel that they have battled long enough with kindling, oil, coal, ashes and soot, you should without delay look into my home made Acetylene proposition. I am the representative for this district, of the largest manufacturers of country home Acetylene plants in the world—namely, the Oxweld Acetylene Co.—manufacturers of the famous Pilot Acetylene Light Plants. Pilot plants are different from any of the other hundreds of American Acetylene machines. They work on a different principle. They are not storage system—• they are automatic—they make gas—a little at a time, while the stove or the lights in use. At other times the plant stands idle. HOMEMADE ybr L I G H T I N G For these reasons you should not judge Acetylene until you have seen it made by a Pilot plant. The Pilot is the one plant that is mechanically perfect. This is proven by the fact that there are over sixty thousand of them in actual use today. At your convenience I can call at your home with a portable demonstrating plant and show you how the Pilot works—how it generates home made Acetylene—how it automatically mixes the Union Carbide and water to make this gas. I can show you also how this home made Acetylene is used -to produce the most brilliant and beautiful light known—how it is used in cooking ranges which do away with the work and bother of handling fuel and ashes. If you wish, I can send you also the Oxweld Acetylene Company's advertising books. These books tell how Acetylene is used for over a hundred different purposes—how the government uses Acetylene machines, on account of their reliability, to light the coast of Alaska and the whole Panama canal. , . With these books X will gladly furnish you free estimate of the cost of a Pilot lighting plant with capacity to fit your requirements. Just write, me how many rooms yo?J have and also how many;: barns and outbuilding! you \ would light. J u e t J J • ?:••-$ « -M i i W^ :Z^Mt\ ACETYLENE C O O K I H O - PUot lighting plants are built upon honor to last a lifetime. They are permanent features of thehomsain whkh they are installed. o o o In fifteen years only two accidents have been charged to the misuse and abuse of Pilot plants. While during the same period over one hundred thousand fires and actic cits have be?* charged to other illuminants. R. B. WRIGHT 1M Regular 8trt«t, DETROIT, MICH. Jalsesmaa OXWELD ACETYLENE CO.

Here is one way: take the can of a lowpriced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label The law requires that if the powder contains alum that fact must be there stated. If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sulphate of aluminum, you have found an alum baking powder* There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders.

Washington, Dec. 2.--The president today delivered the following message to t'ojjgreaa: In pursuance of my constitutional duty to "give to the congress information or' the state of the Union," I take the liberty of addressing you on several matters which ought, as it seems to me, particularly to engage the attention of your honorable bodies, as of ali who study the welfare of the nation. I shall ask your indulgence if I venture to depart in some degree from the usual custom of setting before you in formal review the many matters which have engaged the attention and railed tie- the action of the several departments of the government or which look to them for early treatment in the future, because the list is long, very long, and would suffer in the abbreviation to which I should have to subject it. I shall submit to you the reports of the heads of the several departments, in which these subjects are set forth in careful detail, and beg that they may receive the thoughtful attention of your committees and of all members of the congress who may have the leisure to study them. Their obvious importance, as constituting the very substance of the business of the government, makes comment and emphasis on my part unnecessary. Country Is at Peace. The country, I am thankful to Bay, Is at peace with all the world, and many happy manifestations multiply about us of a growing cordiality and sense of community of interest among th#* nations, foreshadowing an age of Kittled peace and good will. There is only one possible standard by which to determine controversies between the I'nited States and other nations, and that is compounded of these two elements: Our own honor and our obligations to the peace of the world. A test so compounded ought easily to be made to govern both the establishment of new treaty obligations and the interpretation of those already assumed. Huerta Must Let Go, There is but one cloud upon our horizon, That has shown itself to the south of us, and hangs over Mexico. There can be no certain prospect of jieace in America imtfl (General Huerta lias surrendered his usurped authority in Mexico; until it is understood on all hands, indeed, that such pretended governments will not be countenanced or dealt with by the government of the United States. We are the friends of constitutional government in America; we are more than its friends, we are its champions; because in no other way can our neighbors, to whom we would wish in every way to make proof of our friendship, work out their own development in peace and liberty. Mexico has no government. The attempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken trown, and a mere military despotism ha.3 been set up which has hardly more than the semblance of national a u t h o r ted-StaleahaB, "by-a timely and well * : I f y . I t originated In the usurpation of Victoriano Huerta, who, after a brief attempt to play the part of constitutional president, has at last cast aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. As a consequence, a condition of affairs now exists in Mexico which has made It doubtful whether even the most elementary and fundamental rights either of her own people or of the citizens of other countries resident •within her territory can long be successfully safeguarded, and which threatens, if long continued, to Imperil the interests of peace, order and tolerable life in the lands immediately to the south of us. Even If the usurper had succeeded In his purposes, in despite of the constitution of the republic and the rights of its people, he would have set up nothing but a precarious and hateful power, which could have lasted but a little while, and whose eventful downfall would have left the country fa a more deplorable condition than ever. But he has not succeeded. He has forfeited the respect and the moral support even of those who were at one time willing to see him succeed. Little by little he has been completely isolated. By a little every day his power and prestige are crumbling and the col* lapse is not far away. We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our poll e r of watchful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to • e e constitutional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy., of such of her leaders as prefsj the ifterty of their people to their «>wn ambitions. . Currency Reform. i t«rfe ^o fflatten of domestic con.* edrt. Yc% already have under confgderation a blUjp^flwjnform of oor gfiteiD of btiXtkmg ••••currency, lor yfcScfc tag counp* «tJt? with'impatience, as for something fundamental to its whole business life and necessary to set credit free from arbitrary and artificial restraint*. I need not say how earueiitly 1 hope for its early enactment into law. I present to you, in addition, the urgent necessity that special provision be made also for facilitating the credits needed by the farmers of the country. The pending currency bill does the farmers a great service. It puts them upon an equal footing with other business men and masters of enterprise, as it should; and upon its passage they will find themselves quit of many of the difficulties which now hamper them in the field of credit. The farmers, of course, ask and should be given no special privilege, such as extending to them the credit of the government itself. What they need and should obtain is legislation which will make their own abundant and substantial credit resources available as a foundation for joint, concerted local action in their own behalf in getting the capital they must use. It is to this we should now address ourselves. Allowed to Lag. It has, singularly enough, come to pass that we have allowed the industry of our farms to lag behind the other activities of the country in its development. I need not stop to tell you how fundamental to the life of the Nation is the production of its food. Our thoughts may ordinarily be concentrated upon the cities and the hives of Industry, upon the cries of the crowded market place and the clangor of the factory, but it is from the quiet interspaces of the open valleys and the free hillsides that we draw the sources of life and of prosperity, from the farm and the ranch, from the forest and the mine. Without these every street would be silent, every office deserted, every factory fallen into disrepair. And yet the farmer does not stand upon the same footing with the forester and the miner in the market of credit. He Is the servant of the seasons. Nature determines how long he must wait for his crops, and will not be hurried in her processes. He may give his note, but the season of its maturity depends upon the season when his crop matures, lies at the gates of the market where his products are sold. And the security he gives is of a character not known in tfife broker's office or as familiarly as it might be on the counter of the banker. Efficiency In Farming. The agricultural department of the government is seeking to assist as never before to make farming an efficient business, of wide co-operative effort, in quick touch with the markets for foodstuffs. The farmers and the government will henceforth work together as real partners in this field, where we now begin to see our way very clearly and where many-intelligent plans are already being put into execution. The treasury of the Unconsidered distribution of its" "depose its, facilitated the moving of the crops in the present season and prevented the scarcity of available funds too often experienced at such times. But we must not allow ourselves to depend upon extraordinary expedients. We must add the means by which the farmer may make his credit constantly and easily available 'and command when he will the capital by which to support and expand his business. We lag behind many other great-countries of the modern world in attempting to do this. .Systems of rural credit have been studied and developed on the other side of the water while we left our farmers to shift for themselves in the ordinary money market. You have but to look about you in any rural district to see the result, the handicap and embarrassment which have been put upon those who produce our food. Study Rural Credit. Conscious of this backwardness and neglect on our part, the congress recently authorised the creation of a special commission to study the various 'systems of rural credit which have been put into operation in Europe, and this commission is already, prepared to report Its report ought to make it easier for us to determine what methods will be best suited to our own farmers. Let Sherman Lew Atamd. Turn from the farm to the world of business which centers in theoity and in the factory, and I think that all thoughtful observers will agree that the Immediate service* we ewe the business communities of the country is to prevent private monopoly more effectually than it has yet been prevented. I think it will be easily agreed that we should] let the Sherman antitrust law stand, unaltered, ae it is, with its debatable ground abobt it «#p. •t • ,*"4f"\ y j i V ' ^ ' l j - -.- '-V but that we should as much as possible reduce the area of that debatable ground by further and more explicit legislation; and should also supple* ment that great act by legislation which will uot only clarify it but also facilitate its administration and make it fairer to all concerned. No doubt we shall all wish, and the country will expect, this to be the central subject of our deliberations during the present session; but it is a subject so many-sided and so deserving of careful and discriminating discussion that I shall take the liberty of addressing you upon it in a special message at a later date than this, it is of capital importance that the business men of this country should be relieved of all uncertainties of law with regard to their enterprises and investments and* a clear path indicated which they can travel without anxiety. It is as important that they should be relieved of embarrassnTent and set free to prosper as that private monopoly should be destroyed. The ways of action should be thrown wide open. I turn to a subject which I hope can be handled promptly and without serious controversy of any kind. I mean the method of selecting nominees for the presidency of the United States. I feel confident that 1 do not misinterpret the wishes or the expectations of the country when I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elections throughout the country at which the voters of the several parties may choose their nominees for the presidency without the intervention of nominating conventions. Independence for Philippines. These are all matters of vital domestic concern, and besides them, outside *the charmed circle of our own national life in which our affections command us, as well as our consciences, there stand out our obligations toward our territories over sea. Here we are trustees. Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines., are ours, once regarded as mere possessions, are no longer to be selfishly exploited; they are part of the domain of public conscience and of serviceable and enlightened statesmanship. We must administer them for the people who live in them and with the same sense of responsibility to them as toward our own people in our domestic affairs. No doubt we shall successfully enough bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian islands to ourselves by ties of Justce and affection, but the performance of our duty toward the Philippines is a more difficult and debatable matter. We can satisfy the obligations of generous justice toward the people of Porto Rico by giving them the ample and familiar rights and privileges accorded our own citizens in our own territory and our obligations toward the people of Hawaii by perfecting the provisions of self-gevernment already granted them, but in the Philippines we must go further. We must hold steadily in view their ultimate independence, and we must move toward the time of that independence as steadily as the way can be cleared and the foundations thoughtfully and permanently laid. Double Duty Toward Alaska. A' duty faces us with regard to Alaska which seems to me very pressing and very imperative; perhaps I should say a double duty, for it concerns both the political and the material development of the territory. "TEe people of Alaska should be given the full terri-' torial form of government, and Alaska, as a storehouse, should be unlocked. One key to it is a system of railways. These the government should itself build and administer, and the ports and terminals it should itself control in the Interest of all who wish to use them for the service and development of the country and its people. Specially Important Three or four matters of special importance and significance I beg that you will permit me to mention in closing. Our bureau of mines ought to be equipped and empowered to render even more effectual service than it renders now in improving the conditions of mine labor and making the mines more economically productive as well as more safe. This it an allimportant part, of the work of conservation; and the conservation of human life mad energy lies even nearer to our aatereet the* the preservation from waste of our material resources. We owe it, in mere justice to the railway employes of the country, to provide for 4hem a fair and effective employers" liability act; and a law that we can stand by in this matter wTH be no less to the advantage of those who administer the railroads of the country than to the advantage of those whom they employ. The experience of a large number of the states abundantly proves that We ovgkt to devote ourselves to meeting pressing demands of yV«i Justice like this as earnestly as to the accomplishment of political and economic reforms.

He had invariably done the biggest business of the year at that time, except for three succesbive Chrietmases spent under the conservative regime of the penitentiary. Mr. Patterson was frankly, and on the whole successfully, a burglar. He did not take from the poor; he had never found that worth while. His victims were always those who could afford to lose—and to have.

A little black grease, and he might hate passed for a plumber's assistant His most marked trait wae his extraordinary thinness, a valuable feature, leaving much room on his person for packages, and destined to prove of even greater service on this particular/ Christmas Eve. " it was not ignorance of the hours kebt by the rich that started him out 4¾ early as ten o'clock that evening. Tons read the society colun ris to good purpose; he knew that if the Kittridges were giving a Christmas Eve ball, among those present would assuredly be Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Whittimore and their daughter, Miss Evangeline Whittimore, who would probably be charming in rose chiffon and pearls. This meant that the Whittlmore house would be empty of the \Vhlttimores that evening. A careful Inquiry into the ways of the Whittmore servants suggested that most of them would be off the moment the carriage had left the door. It looked such a pleasant opening that Tom decided not to take a confederate* with him. but softly let himself in by a window in a shadowed angle, selected earlier in the day. He found himself in a dining-room, dark except for the light in the hall beyond. Riches glimmered dimly on the sideboard, but Tbm seldom bothered with plate. Crossing the room with the noiseless agility of a cat, he paused by the door, his head thrust forward on its lean neck, his eyes lowered, his mouth slightly open, his win, uncurled, eara seeming to distend with the intensity of his listening. 5The silence was absolute; not even the ticking of a clock could be heard. After three minutes his head drew back with somewhat the movement of *> turtle's, his jaws came together, and he deliberately scuffed one foot *)ong the polished floor, producing a (Mill, Indefinite sound that might mean anything Aga4a~th* tense listening; then, with a businesslike quietness wholly -free from slinking, he crossed the hall and went swiftly up the great, djm stairs. ^The Whittlmore Christmas presents, still lurking in drawers and desks; offered an unusually wide selection, and Tom browsed peacefully among them for. half an, hour. Then, adding to his pocket collection M i s s Evangeline's |ewef case and two hundred dollars from Mr Whtttlmore's desk, he slipped down the stairs again and made the mistake of pausing in the dimly l i g h t e d drawing-room to eee~ if ,hV' had overlooked any- Important watjust the faintest little mouaejOicfcn but it meant a latch-key in afcdTTonV had to act on the instant.

She was panting a little, her hands pressed nervously together, her teeth working at the lower lip. -She began to pace up and down, very softly, with tense excitement in every line. Suddenly she paused, listening, her eyes dlreeted straight at the plush hanging. Tom, nerved for a feminine shriek, poised himself in readiness to Bet out at the first note; but she turned and went Bwiftly to the front door. An instant later she' came back with a young man, a very young man, in evening dresB, looking as perturbed as herself. "Well?" said the newcomer quickly. She drew away from the arm he had put about her. - "Oh, I don't know! 1 don't know!" She beat her hands softly together. His face fell. "I won'tvurge you," he said. She laid imploring hands on his arm. "But do you think father is tyrannical? That it's silly to wait three years, when we're sure now? That we have a right to do it, if we're willing to be poor and—and all that?" He stroked the hands in silence for a moment, then gently removed them and turned away. "I cau't tell what I think. I want you so ifluch that 1 don't trust my own judgment. It has seemed to me that he was—unfair. 1 could be bolder If worthy—" "Don't!" She ran to him, and he took her into his arms. Tom retreated from tab <J^ePhole with a suppressed sigh of tunui. When he returned to it they were sitting together on a white and gold couch. She lifted her head reluctantly. "Now I .will run and get on another dress; you wait here," she said. "And. dear, 1 am going to bring my jewels They are truly mine, and if we are too poor—*' • "I hate to have you take them." he protested. Tom also hated to have* her take them. The case was at that moment in his right-hand pocket, together with several other trifles from her dressing table. "I'll be back in five minutes," she was saying, drawing away reluctant hands. When she had gone as far aB the door, Tom took charge of the situation. He threw back the curtain, lifting a cautioning hand at her faint scream. "If you want to keep this quiet from the servants, no row, please," he said with dignity. "I'm sorry, young feller, but I'm a detective employed by the lady's papa to stop this very thing— see? I have to do my dooty." The young man stared helplessly Miss Evangeline clutching at his coat. "But—but—" he stammered. "You see, the old gentleman got wind of it and asked me to step around," Tom explained. "He don't want any fuss. The young man's color had changed from dismayed white to angry red. "I will not," he said clearly. "If he does that sort of thing—" "Exactly," echoed Evangeline proudly. "We will wait till my father comes home, and have it out with him. Detective, indeed!" They sat down on the couch and glared at Tom. It made him uneasy. "Lookee here," he began confidentially, "you seem like a pretty nice young couple, and I ain't one to spoil sport. If you want to skin out just as you are now, inside of sixty seconds, I don't know but I might—look the other way, see?" ' "We don't wi*h anything of the kind," said Miss Evangeline haughtily The young man merely stared; he was evidently preparing speeches for her father. Tom edged toward the door. "Well, I dunno as I need to wait, then. Family rows is for the family only, I say. 1 done my Job, and—" "Hold up!" commanded the young man. "I wish you to stay- Here!" . Three swift steps had talcen Tom to tfie front door. He clutched it open— and nearly landed in the arms of Mies Evangeline's mother and father. Their portly presence left no loophole, even for the thinnest Directly behind him was the young man, cutting off passage to the dining-room window. Tom clutched at his nerve and jerked out a bow.

Otherwise—" She drew herself np, and Tom achieved another step. The old gentleman's temper began to show signs of wear. "Marry any one you please! But for mercy's sake don't say I—" A scuffle and a crash interrupted. A whirling heap on the floor resolved itself into Tom Patterson on his back, with Miss Evangeline's lover kneeling on his chest, a hand at his throat. "Sorry to make a row," apologized the young man breathlessly, "but I caught on just In time. He's a sneak thief!" "You seem to be a—a fairly up-andcoming young fellow," stammered Mr. Whittlmore.

Mr. Whittimore pinched his chin, scowled, sighed, then nodded heavily Slowly and reluctantly, the last pocket emptied, the young man arose from Tom's chest. Two minutes later Mr. Thomas Patterson, hurrying, through the dark, smiled to himself as he inserted care ful fingers into a remote crevasse of his structure, where the contribution from Mr. Whittimore's desk still lurked in a compact wad.- "They didn't know I had that," he reflected, "but I guess I'll keep it for hush money.

The unexpected and Bensational manner in which the visit of Joe Wright to Judge Gilbert's office was terminated was not . without effect upon every one In the room. Pity for Gloria was the dominating emotion, for everyone present realized her unhappy position. The dramatic revelation of her love affair, the knowledge that she had been sacrificed, stirred every heart. Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs. Hayes, not well versed in politics, harbored no slight resentment against the publisher of the News, since they regarded the article as too severe. .Were not their husbands interested on the RHme side as David Kerr? And they were honest men. But their husbands knew the full measure of the bitter cup that both the boss and his daughter, for the father's misdeeds, were called upon to drain. The first thing to do was to get Gloria away from the office. For several days she had been staying with Mrs. Hayes, and thither she was now taken. By Dr. Hayes' order she was put at once to bed, and under the influence of an opiate, she was soon asleep. Dr. Hayes came downstairs and announced to Kerr, who was savagely pacing back and forth in the drawingroom, that his daughter was suffering from a great nervous shock. He also said that she would probably sleep for several hours. "It ain't no use for me to stay here then," the boss declared^ "If you want me you can git me by telephone at my office or Gilbert's or at the club rooms.'' "Even if she asks for you," said the doetor, "I think it best for you to stay -•Way until her nerves are quieter."' As there was nothing further the two men could do, they walked downtown together, leaving Mrs. Hayes to watch over Gloria, It was nine o'clock before the girl opened her eyes. Dr.. Hayes had been home to dinner and then, gone out sgaln. His wife was sitting in Gloria** room reading by a light which was carefully shaded so as .not to annoy the sleeper. She had turned several pages of her book with a feeling that her patient was now fuMly awakfe-'before she looked up to see if her belief was justified. Gloria waa gating vacantly at the celling.;;J , v. - "Is there anything you want, dear?" she- asked, going over to the bed. As Mrs. Hayes looked down at the fjfcri she seemed to her like a lily that lad been beaten by the wind and bruised by the rain and left all for lorn to die. In the girl's face she: read the story of the last few hours. 'is there anything you want, dearf' the repeated. "Nothing." Gloria looked up at her with a pathetic little smile of appreciation for her kindness. She threw one hand out on top of the cover, and Mrs. Hayei took it in hers. It was some lime, however, before Gloria spoke. "Ion lieard everything?" "And you understand?" VI think I do/Gloria." "Then 'there Isn't anything much for a * &m you."

It was not of the man whom that afternoon she had spurned, that she thought, but of the man whom in her heart she cherished—her ideal With a mighty sob she began again to weep. There had copse to her the realisation that love was done. Far across the room the napoo beams crept before Gloria fell into a fltful slumber. ished the memory of a strong, brave man, the man I thought he waa. You know, Mrs. Hayes, he seemed to me to be very much Tike my father." For a time she thought It over to herself. Mrs. Hayes did npt press her, and continued to show her sympathy by holding her hand. . "Yes, it would have been a lot better had he died before I ever knew. What would have been a beautiful dream is now only a hideous nightmare. And I believed in him so! You who have seen just a little of him can't know how I loved him. It wasn't exactly love when we were abroad in the same party. Yes, it was; only 1 didn't know it. It wasn't untjl he had gone a*vay and no word clnfe from >iw^ that ' knew how much he was to-me. And then I met him here. Heaven seamed to open for me that night." • She turned her head for a minute, and the tears began to flow. When she began again her eyes were still blurred with tears. , "A can tell you, and I could tell Mrs. Gilbert, teat ife gojng to hurt me a lot. It's going to hartto think how 1 was deceived, I thought I was building my hotfse of life upon Jt rock, and when the rafas came I awoke to find the foundation was only shifting sand." "We all have our troubles, dear." Mrs. Hayes told her. "Yours Imay seem hard to bear, but you must know,tb^at life can't, alt he painted ;ln rainbow hues. I've taken you with me into Belmont's unhappiest homes, and what you have seen should teach you to bear your own trials with resignation and fortitude as a Christian should. Perhaps it's not well to think h.ow much better off we are than other people, but when we do think of it we see that God has shown us abundant kindness compared to that given , to others, and then oUr/crosses ire lighter." "But I loved him ao! Taj-ted Gloria, burying her face in the'pillow.' Mrs. Hayes could only ^lasp the girl's hand. The attempt to comfort her was unprofitable. Her grief !-W*s too new, her wounds too fresJ»)tor"romfort. Longer andV longer grew thY Intervals between her sobs. Finally Mrs. Hayes thought she had fallen aftleep. hut Gloria was only thinking. It eaaie to her that she was still young. Lojre would never be hers, she was sure; of that; but long years stretched out before her. She couldn't be •*' coward and shirk those year*. Once s£e had built her house of love and life upon the quaking sands, now she would build her house of life upon the firm rock of service.. In, ministering 'o the unfortunate; she might find surcease for her own sorrow. "Mrs. Hayes?" "What, Gloria?" "I'm not going to let anythjng that happened today spoil my life." "Of course not, dear. Fain today means sunshine tomorrow for u«." "I don't know pbout the «u«t«h)ne. but I do know that 1 want to go along lusT~aa If~nofhi n g had happen*d. "Tomorrow let's do just what we planned to do, and the, next day and the next I want to keep busy. Can't yoir understand?" Mrs. Hayes did understand, and admired the girl for her bravery. "All right, Gloria. I think that is best. We weren't put into-thi* world to hare only the good tlffls^fr itf-Itf* and shirk the bad things. We. must take them as they come, the bad;w|tti the good You are doing "just what Mr. Wright would have you do If he were the man you thought him and he had died before your wedding day. Perhaps all will come out as you once had planned." The daughter of David Kerr shook her head. "That can never be." She said no more, and after a time seemed to.fall asleep. Mrs. Hayes unclasped her hand, turned out the fight, and left the room. Through the windows streamed the moonlight, The girl, assured that she waa alone, turned on her aide and watched the beams creep slowly across the room.

"I've forgotten what we'd planned for this afternoon," Gloria remarked to Mrs. Hayes the morning after the stormy scene in Judge Gilbert's office. Yesterday was carefully ignored by both as they talked. "This was the day Mrs. Wallace asked us to help her at the mission." Mrs. Hayes explained. She did not say further that She had telephoned earlier ia the morning and had Mrs. Wallace, the matron, make plans whereby the whole afternoon would be taken up. She believed Gloria's peace of mind would be all the greater were she engaged in some work which would make her feel that through her the pain of the sufferer Was alleviated and the bruised heart of the unhappy bound up. It was just two o'clock when they reached the mission. They had not been there long before Mrs. Wallace suggested that they call on a poor girl who was ill in a room orer Mike Noonan's saloon. The sick woman was known to her, but she told nothing of her story, ft wasn't much different from any one of half a hundred she might have told. The two women felt not the slightest fear in walking through such a tough quarter of the town. Mrs, Hayes was an experienced settlement worker, and knew many of the perrons whom they passed. They for their part knew her and respected her for the kindly qharity she' dispensed so unostentatiously. As for Gloria, she could fear, nothing Bince she was almost in total ignorance of what dangers might beset their path. Then, too, she was busy with her own thoughts. Mrs. Hayes had been told in what room the sick wpman lay, and without a word to anyoqe, in fact they saw no one, they went in the door on the side street and climbed the dark, uncarpet- *>d stairs to the third floor. At a door just at the foot of the flight of ateps which led to the fourth story, Mrs. Hayes knocked gently. There was no answer. She decided that if there was no response to the next knock she would open the door to see If the girl were asleep. A second and louder knock, however, aroused her and she called to them to enter. Gloria and Mrs. Hayes walked into the room* and as the latter went to the bedside to explain 1 5w they hap- #8* im she 4-man havV beoflfsaa|s4.

The only things which boldly confessed themselves to- be just a», repre*ejs*ed were two wooden kitchen chairs Looking close beside her, Gloria saw a battered maple wa*hsf*nd and beyond it a door which led into a closet under the stairs. She glanced curiously at the wails, which boosted, jome cheap prints, moat of them' showing by the advertising matter upon them from which whisky house they bad emanated. Some of the girl's waists and skirts hung upon nails, but the clothes which she had taken off the night before on retiring were upon a chair beside her trunk. "I heard you were sick," Mrs. Hayef said sympathetically, "and I want te know if I can do anything to help you." Little Ella viewed them with cold antagonism. They were, net of her world and she both feared and hated them, "Naw," she growled. Then ajraInst her real wishes somethingiout of her old life made her add grudglugly, "Much obliged." Mrs. Hayes had worked too long among such people not to understand, and she ignored the glrTs unfriendly manner by asking: "How do you feel today?" "Rotten." "No wonder; it's So close in here. ! think It would be better for you if you'd let me open a window. It's mild out. May I?" "Go as fer as yuh like; I don't feel like fightin'." A nod from Mrs. Hayes sent-Gloria to open a window. "There now," exclaimed the younejer visitor. "You'll feel better." "Gloria," Mrs. Hayes asked, so the sick woman could not hear, "do yon mind staying with her while I go to the mission for a few minute*? I want Mrs. Wallace to, qpme over if vshe can; and the doctor, too, as soon as I can And him." "Certainly, I'll stay," was the prompt response. "What's the matter With her?" "' "I can't say until I see the doctor. because I'm not sure. I want Doctor Hayes to see her. Tf 1 can"t get aim I'll get Doctor Norton. You're not afraid to stay?" Gloria smiled.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, T h u r s d a y , January 15, 1914 No. 3 Picking Station 1: A re You One of These ? *•* FOP Pinckney The-Knox-Harris Packing Co. of Jackson will install a pickling station herd in May. Bert Little of Jackson, the representative of he company, is in Pinckney this week getting acreage preparatory to the establishment of the plant. All those desiring to discuss the cacnmber proposition with Mr. Little can do so by calling at the .Dispatch office. A business like this should be looked into by the Business Men's Association, but alas, where are they? The company will locate here anyway and such an industry will be a great benefit to the farmers in this vicinity. In other towns the Business Men's Association are the "Boomers" but here they seem to- be asleep. Were they wide awake, Pinckney, tod, might be on the gain as an enterprising village. Outside industries bring money for home products and that mouey is spent among home merchants. Why don't we get busy? We commenced our vacation last August and its lasted long enough. We had better get back to work and see what's doing. The company will pay 75c per bushel for cucumbers the coming season. We wish them success in securing enough acreage to pay for having the receiving station in our vicinity. Anderson Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wilson were over Sunday visitors The other uight I was talking to a man who says he is a "good old fashioned conservative"—whatever that means. He doesn't "take much stock in new-fangled notions." And among the many interest iog things he told me, was the fact that he doesn't read alvertising. "Well, sir," said I, "if you wanted a collar, and didn't see any on display, what kind would you ask for?" "Arrow," he said promptly. "And if you wanted a suit, what kind would you ask for?"

Pupils Learn Farming Agriculture will be taken up this month, iu every rural eighth grade in the state of Michigan MS the stale course of study requires the teaching of this subject for at least half a year in the rural schools. Last year was the first time this subject was specifically taught and despite the fact that few teachers were qual fied to handle it, the results were most enconraging. This year bulletins issued by the Department of Public Instruction and the Michigan ~~A *• 1 j I /"^IJ-H * 1 .

"Now" I required guilelessly, "how do you come to know those names?" "Oh," he replied slowly, "I— er—I've heard of them." "Where, and from whom? "I asked, Well, he couldn't remember, and finally he "fessed up" that he must have seen them advertised. -And furthermore, he admitted that almost everything he wore was branded with the name of a well-kuown manufacturer. He even admitted that he never bought wearing apparel that he didn't known the name of it before he went to a store. "Because," he said, "if I've I heard of em, and never anything against 'em, they must be good." Which is a mighty fine argument for advertised goods by a man who "never reads advertising." Are you one of those people who never reads advertising? Jf you don't, look inside your collar. Look at the neckband of your shirt, and of your coat. Look inside your shoe. If you are not wearing advertised goods get some "new-fangled" notions. For eyen our friend, the "good old-time conservative." admitted that he could trust advertised clothes.

J9tA Gloria Kerr, a motherless girl, who has •Dent most of her life in school, arrives at her father'* home in Belmont. David Kerr is the political boss of the town, and in anxious to prevent his daughter learning of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, is negotiating with Judge Gilbert, Kerr's chief adviser, for a valuable franchise. They fear the opposition of Joe Wright, editor of the reform paper. Kerr asks the assistance of Judge Gilbert in introducing Gloria to Belmont society, and promises to help him put through the packers' franchise and let him have all the graft. Gloria meets Joe Wright at the Gilberts. It appears they are on intimate terms. having met previously on a touring party in Europe. The Gilberts invite Gloria to stay with them pending the refurnishing of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight against the proposed franchise in the columns of his pai«i, the Belmont News. Kerr, through -hid henchmen, exerts every influence to hamper Wright in the publication of his paper. Gloria takes up settlement work. Kerr and his lieutenants. decide to buy Kevr'* paper and aBk the editor to meet them at Gilbert's office. Calling at Gilbert's office to solicit a donation Gloria meets Wrlsrht. He proposes and is accepted while waiting to be called into the conference. Wright refuses to sell his paper and declares Tie will fight to a finish. The Belmont News appears with a bitter attack on Kerr. Gloria calls Wright a coward and refuses to listen to any explanation from him. Broken-hearted, Gloria decides to plunge more deeply into settlement work. She calls on a sfck girl of the underworld, named Ella. She learns for the first time that her father is the head of a notorious gang of political grafters. Sounds of a conflict are heard in the room over Ella's. Gloria finds Wright unconscious, a victim of an attempted assassination bv thu*s in the pay r** the political ring. She hides him in Ella's room and defies the thugs. She awes them by announcing that she is Kerr's daughter. Ella threatens to give up .Wright to the thugs and is choked into unconsciousness by Gloria, who then frills unconscious on Wright's bodv. T^ev «re rescued by Dr. Hayes and his wife. Wright decides to sell his paper and leave Belmont. CHAPTER XXI).—Continued. Again his amazement equaled that the Bight of her in hie living room had occasioned. He permitted it to betray ttself by exclaiming: "Since I wouldn't come to see you! 8urely,v/Miss Kerr, you didn't expect that? There was nothing whatever equivocal about my dismissal." This was something she bad not planned, & reference to the past. She wNhed merely to warn him and then take l*ave of him forever. "I didn't come with a deaire to refer to that," the answered. "You must realize that what I have to say soenis to me of the utmost importance, else I—oh, you can't know the effort it has cost me to come here." "I'm sorry if your dislike is so intense." She shook her head, with a smile that was only a sad lighting up of her countenance, like the last flare ot an expiring, flame. "Let us not speak of like or dislike. All that Is paet It is true I promised myself never to see you again, but since that day In Judge Gilbert's office events hare shed such a new light oh Belmont and on me that T feel some explanations are due you before you go away."

A'chaime-f *fcKJ|im*fjfcJ his head resting in his hands as he listened. "I have lived away from Belmont," she went on in an even, repressed monotone that cut him to the heart, "eince I was a little girl, too young to understand, and I was brought up to believe that my father was—well, just the opposite of what he Is. It was all a mistake, of course. It was no fault of mine, but I must suffer for It just the same. I had everything money could buy; and then you came—and—and I had love." Her voice trembled for the instant. Wright could not stand it. "Gloria!" he cried, seeking to stop her, but she went on again in the same impersonal manner. "But no one was really kind to me. I lived in a fool's Paradise. I did not know the truth." Then vehemently, losing control of herself: "Oh, why did you ever speak to me of love! You, of all men, to make my humiliaation doubly great." "Don't speak so, I beg of you." Wright commanded. "Can you believe that I have not suffered?" She chose to ignore his question. "Oh, if I had never come home! If I had even not gone to Judge Gilbert's office that day! It was fate, Joe. it was fate. L can see It all now. We boast that we dominate circumstances, the gods laugh and ar^ our masters still. Looking back the way we've come frcrm that first night I met you here I can see that every step, relentless as death, was leading to that dav when I learned the truth about my father." "And you know?" "Everything. That's why I'm here It was really such a little time ago that I came back to Belmont, yet it seems ages. Oh, why didn't you go away! You must have seen how it had to end. Since I came homft and flrst met you, I've lived and suffered and grown old. And I had dreamed such dreams!" Here she jpa\i&ed, ae if to fight b8ck the painful memories of those rainbow dreams. Then .she admitted them. "And they became rosier and rosier—because of you. Even the disappointments my father's lack of polish caused me were nothing—because of you. Then you ceased to see me, and I didn't understand. "I wanted you so very much—thc»n— and you did not come. I know now what it wash the election was coming on, you had begun to fight my father. You knew I didn't realize his position in Bejmont. I'm sincere. \. want you to know I understand how hard it was for you, my friend—/because—I believe you loved me—sincerely," "Sincerely, Gloria." His reply was almost a fiob. "You know I bogged you to go away. I would have followed you, and you would never have known." "That's true, but the gods laugh and are our masters still, l felt that 1 owed it to my father to remain with him in Belmont. Then come the day in Judge Gilbert's cnTee; XJrd~ever a girl have a courtship crowded iuto half an hour? So short a time there was between those few words of love and the rude awakening which followed that there remains to me now not even a sweet memory of that avowal which all girls cherish ao. And t h e n - well, that's why I've come today. I couldn't let you go away without asking you to forgive me for what I said in Judge Gilbert's office." "There's no need of speaking of forgiveness. Please do not say any more." She was not to be deterred from her set purpose, and therefore affected nbt to hear, going straight on with her narrative. "You see, I was proud of my father. All my life he'd been an ideal, not a reality, and I thought htm Incapable of anything else. It turned out ! was wrong—what I Said about you." "No, Gloria, you Just didn't understand."

"Pleeae don't think of It,* he fcegged. "I don't connect you in sAy manner with the attack on me." "But I do," she Insisted, "because I know the truth." Here was the whole reason for her coming, ehe told herself.'* "Since you're in this fight to stay—even though yos'fe fighting my own father—I want you to have nil the protection that knowledge of the truth will afford. I've come to warn you." Wright saw that he had not made .her understand that he was giving up the fight. "But I'm going away." "Yes, you've told me; but you're coming back again because you know your place is here. There's work to do." He recognized instantly that it was her wish for him to remain. Her belief in him, such as it was, ceptered about his efforts to make Belmor.ta better place. Not wishiug to explain what pain it would conetantly give him were he to do so, he avoided the matter by referring to her own future. /What are you going to do?" "I? I'm going abroad In a few days." VWhat does your father say to that?" Gloria's Up curled with.scorn at the question. Her answer came with the coldness of a woman of the world. "He can't say anything. What is he to me? 1 haven't even sent him word yet. He gave me everything in the world, but then at the supr^mest moment of my life he robbed me of it all. Would a father do that?" she asked fiercely. "What allegiance do I owe him. The claim ot blood! Bah! He's always wished I'd been a boy. He didn't He to me because he loved me. He didn't even know me. Do you think it Wrenches my heart to leuve him now? No; a thousand times no. We've lived too many years upart. What have we in sympathy? We'd be stranger* though we lived untied the same roof for years." "But when you go abroad what are you going to do?" He could see no future for her. "Just drift. There is IO much that I want to forget." "Much, Gloria?" he asked gently. "Yes, much." She would not let him trap her into a damaging admission. "Everything?" "Everything painful." '*" Her attitude, he felt it was antagonistic, impatient even of his kindly questioning, stirred him to a vigorous reply. After pit, she was but a child, and like a child wanted to shirk the lesson life was teaching her. "Surely I've net been mistaken in you," he began. "It's by suffering that we learn to live. You've only cea^ to see life as it is, that's all. Would you throw away the precious knowledge that is power for an Arcadian ignorance akin to weakness? You've just said that you've come to warn me of something. . Were you true to your theory of life, you would leave me In Ignorance, because the truth would give me pain. But you don!l believe'that." From the depth of his world-scarred heart he pitied her. She was so young, and so rebellions. He yearned with a great longing to protect her. "It's easy enough to talk and give advice," Gloria flung back at him. "What has suffering taught you?" Here was a question he could answer, and answer decisively. "It has taught me to be true to my better self." He spoke sternly. Then he regretted that he had seemed harsh with her, for It did not soften her. and she made no comment. "Please sit down," be said. She ac cepted the proffered chair stiitry and waited. Wright came as close to her as he dared. As he spoke, she abandoned the rigid attitude aha had felt constrained to assume and sank back In the big chair. "Gloria,, I didn't mean to be harsh just now. God knows I would spare you all yon have been through could r have don#T^r ^oVontl^rsTerribie week. Can't we go back to that headlong courtship. crowded into half an hourf Then I begged yon Uj. gp^awaj. Now since you are going, let us go togetb er. Listen, don't yon remember? This more than a shallow, frivolous gin I honor you for the offer, Joe, but 1 wouldn't be true U> tuat better sell you talk about if I accepted" "I make r-o offer, Gloria," he plead* ed. "I'm begging y*« to love me, to become my wife." She trembled visibly at h*s words. Yet her resolution was such that she was not shaken from her purpose. She did not dare look at him, however, as she answered: "I'm afraid the love one must beg for wouldn't be worth having, Joe. You wouldn't be happy wirh me. No matter where we went you couldn't forget what happened ,h«*e. Then consider me—if you'd ever be absentminded for a minute, gating into space, I'd know you were th'nking of Belmont and the opportunities you'd thrown away because of me. 1 couldn't stand It. I'd always feel that you were recalling the past and reletting th.e present. It would kill me. No, Joe, I couldn't." Wright's proposal had bee», totally unexpected by Gloria. Up to 'he time he had begun to plead with h»T to go away with him, she had maintained fair control of herself. His generous offer, as she termed it, had pierced her armor of reserve and laid bare her warm, quivering heart. Calumet the Secret of Economy The high coat of living* nowadays, and the way prkea are steadily climbing- skywards, is making economy In the kitchen even more important than it was In the good old days of our thrifty ancestors. But how to achieve economy? There's the rub! In many lines, It depends almost entirely on the housewife's knowledge of foods and on hex watchfulness—but fortunately, in one line, baking, economy can be made almost automatic by the use of the famous Calumet Baking Powder. Economy In baking, as every good cook knows, d~oends not so much on economy In buying the materials as on the success of her bakings. Failures mean w a s t e - bigger losses by far than the Havings she makes in buying. And the fact that Calumet absolutely prevents failures and makes every baking successful has made it the favorite of every cook that seeks t to be economical. In other words, Calu-i met is the secret of economy in baking. • It is the purest, too—attested by hundreds of leading physicians—and as for its general quality, It is enough to say 'that Calumet haM received the highest awards at two World's Pure Food Expositions— one in Chicago, 111., and the other In Paris, France, in March. 1912. Adv. ,t*'No, Joe, f Couldn't." "Pride, Gloria, pride," the man whispered. "It's pride that's keeping you from being true to yourself and true to ine." ; "Don't speak to me, Joe," she sobbed; "I cant stand it." In his heart he yearned with all the ardor of youth and love to gather her in his arms and comfort her. Yet he knew her well enough to-know that it could not be. Her humiliation had rendered impregnable the barrier ehe had erected between them. There was naught he could do but suffer in Bilence while she wept. So There, Now! Knowing instinctively what paragraphers will be tempted to commit when they learn that the new acquisition of the Phillies' pitching staff is an Indian who, when his parents gave him the "once over" promptly labeled him Ben Tincup and sent him out into the world, we hasten to make a cleanup and settle the matter definitely and finally by saying that it is the general conviction that he has a good handle; that he never gets full; that it will take a good batter to put a dent In him; that he is brimming over with "stuff/' that he is no relative of the pitcher that went once too often to the well; he can't be rattled; he will not take water, and beside^ all this, we understand he is no giddy joke at that.

Wright saw her turn and hold oul her hand. Could she have changed her mind? His heart prompted this thought, but one glance at her face told him she was still determined to go her own way alone. "Gocd-by," she said. "Is it to be good-by, Gloria?" "That, and nothing more." The man looked at her in a dazed iranner. Now that the time of parting had come she had far more selfpossession than he. He groped about In his mind for something to say, but words were inadequate. There is no telling how his feelings might have betrayed him had there not come a knock at the door .to interrupt their parting. At the sound Gloria exclaimed with a start, "Who's that?" Wright walked to the door, saw who asked for entrance, and opened it Let everything be as it was }wlde for Patty to enter.

Ninety per cent, of the wheat up to Oct. 1st graded No. 1, the only No. 2 being fall wheat. The yield ranged from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, -with an average of 28. Oats yielded well, and barley about 60 bushels. Inverary is a new district In Alberta. Here wheat graded No. 2 and some of it went 50 bushels to the acre, oats going about 75 bushels. Letnbridge correspondent says: "In the Monarch district the yield on summer fallow is averaging thirty-five bushels, a large percentage No. 1 northern." "Ail spring grains are yielding better than expeeted in the Milk river district, south. A 300 acre Held of Marquis wheat gave 41½ bushels. "Experimental farm results on grain sown on Irrigated land place 'Ked Fife' wheat in the banner position, with a yield of 59.40 bushels per acre. Oats yielded 132 bushels to the acre. "John Turner of Lethbridge grew barley that went 60 bushels to the acre. "Red Fife-averages in weight from 60 to 68 pounds, and at Rosthern the Marquis wheat will run as high as 64 pounds to the bushel, while a sample of Marquis wheat at Areola weighed no less than 68 pounds to the bushel. This variety is grading No. 1 hard." Calgary, Alta., Oct. 8.-The problem of handling Alberta's big grain crop is becoming a serious one, aud there Is a congestion at many points In southern Alberta. One thousand cars could be used immediately. The C. P. R. prepared for a normal year, while the yield of grain was everywhere abnormal, with an increased acreage of about 23 per cent. Moose Jaw, Sask., returns show some remarkable yields. Bassano, Alta., Sept. 25, '13.—-Individual record crops grown in Alberta Include 1,300 acre field of spring wheat grown near Rassano which went thirty- five bushelB to the acre and weighed sUty-six pounds to the bushel. Noble, Alta., Oct. 1, '13.—All records for the largest shipment of grain by one farmer will be broken this year if the estimate of C. S. Noble of Noble, Alberta, proves correct. Mr. Noble has notified the Canadian Pacific Railway here that he will have 350,000 bushels of grain, chiefly barley and oatB, ready for shipment very shortly. L. Anderson Smith, writing to a friend in the Old Country, located at Killam, Alberta, Says: "Anyone taking up land will find Alberta an ideal province. The soil is a rich black loam, varying from 6 to 12 Inches in depth. The land here in this district is not wholly open prairie. At intervals, sometimes closely, sometimes widely scattered, there are small plots of poplar and willows. These generally grow round some small depression in the land, and the snow drifts here in the winter and melts la the spring filling these sloughs (province "slews") with soft water. Nearly all these sloughs have old buffalo tracks to them, for it was from them that they always got their water. The poplars are very useful for building barns and hen-houses. Wi&grasBes are plentiful, while tame grasses, such as timothy, brome and western rye grass do remarkably welt —Advertisement. PRETTY RIBBON CASE DAJNTY AND MOST USEFUL ^ CESSORY FOR BOUDOIR. ACWork of Putting It Together Will Furnish Amusement for the Spare Hours—Only Cardboard, Ribbon and Thread Required. Every one who keeps a special roll of ribbon for her lingerie will like the little case illustrated. Ribbon frequently disappears just when it is wanted, but if hung on the dressing table the ownerwill find that much time will be saved which" mig!ir otherwise be spent in a fruitless search. The case was made from two pieces of white cardboard. Each piece was cut three inches in diameter; an inch larger than the roll of ribbon which was to be inserted. The cardboard was covered with a pretty flowered ribbon, which was especially suitable, as it had running through it a gold shimmering thread. Two circular pieces of ribbon were cut out to cover each piece of cardboard, and Joined together by oversewing all round the edges. The roll of rose-colored ribbon was then inserted between the covers, and a hole pierced through the middle of the two latter and the roll of ribbon. A piece of ribbon was threaded through the holes and sewn securely LOVELY PICTURE HAT Serum Cuts Down Mortality,— In Paris from-1880, to 1893, before the discovery of the anti-dlphtberia Berum, diphtheria killed an average of 1,721 persons a year, 2,244 deaths in 1882 and 1,266 in 1890 being the maximum. After Koux discovered his serum, the average of deaths dropped to 348, with a maximum of 736 in 1901 and a minimum 6T 174 in 1906. Thus, thanks to serotherapy, there is now only one death instead of five, aud la some years one instead of seven, or a mortality of six per 100,- 000 inhabitants. In 1895, soon after the senna came into use in Paris, the mortality fell to. 9Xper 1,00,000, while Jn_Loudon It was 56.6; in Berlin,' u6! 'i,~audTin "St Petersburg, 89.9. Complete Case. to each cover. It was then Joined at the top into a rosette. In the center of each cover a smaller rosette with ends was sewn to give a finishing touch. Should the worker wish to make one of these for a present the color scheme of the owner's room should be taken into consideration. The case would look delightful covered with white linen, finished with blue or p<nk ribbon. The monogram of the owner should be worked in the same color. In order that the linen covers could be removed easily when soiled, buttonholed eyelets should be worked at short distances apart round the edges. A piece of ribbon should then A large black picture hat which Is such a becoming shape Is edged with skunk and garnished with a beautiful double paradise plume. be run through these and tied in a wee bow. Another holder which 1B very easy to make is contrived from half a yard of ribbon. The "worker should choose a wide weave of silk ribbon covered with a pretty floral design. To make the case, the ribbon should be turned up about one-third of the width, and caught at intervals of three or four inches with a neat fagoting stitch to form pockets. The hems on either side should be finished in the same way. The worker ghould next take some stiff white cardboard, and cut into four pieces in the shape of the pockets already made. These pieces of cardboard should be slightly smaller than the pockets, otherwise they will not fit in easily when wound with ribbon. Some pretty lingerie ribbons should next be chosen, aad_a different color wound round each cardboard and arranged In the various pockets. To complete this case, the worker should add a tiny pair of scissors to one end of the case. These should be attached by means of a narrow piece of ribbon. At the other end a bodkin should be fastened In the same manner, and slipped into a narrow pocket, which should be allowed for when making the ribbon pockets. A piece of ribbon should be sewn on the back, so as to tie the case together when folded. A case of this description would take up very little room In a drawer or box, for it has the appearance of a cardcase when folded. Handy Place for Overshoe*. An excellent idea for teaching the children "that there is a place for everything and everything in its place," Is to have a ' strong cretonne shoebag, with several divisions, hung on the inside of the coal room or closet door, conveniently low, so that the children, as they take off their rubbers or shoes may place them in this bag and thus save the general look of disorder Usually found in the children's room. Novelty in Combs. A hinged comb is another odd Idea Just .introduced. The top of most combs so far stands up In a line with the teeth and stands out from the hair. This way the top it hinged, and when the comb is placed in the hair the top bends down flat against the head. It comes in plain amber or fancy rnlnestone effect. S P R I N G SHOE STYLES.

Long before a woman buys her fall shoes the makers have planned the styles for the following spring—so far In advance of fashion is the wholesale trade. Rumors are that nothing but Button shoes will be worn next spring, that patent and kid leathers will be used mostly and that heels have a tendency to be very low. This does not mean that there will be a erase for the almost heelless shoes of the summer just gone—far from i t The newest heel will be a low Louis Instead of the Cuban we have known. For girls the little heel win he good always, and for outing wear, the heelless, rubber-soled low shoe will be as popular next summer's* it ha* been. , Turned-sole shoes will be used extensively, and snob tans as will be seen will be in dark shades—light tan only in outing styles. Moreover, for dress wear, makers predict a vogue of fancy shoes y that is, black or dark tan vamps, with colored suede tops, these to match the. gown or suit, if preferred.

INDEPENDENCE, OREGON.—"I was sick with what four doctori called Nervous Prostration, was treated by them for several years, would be better for a while then back in the old way again.

My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervousTcould not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit o f work and I thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an operation. I commenced taking Lydia E.

Two centuries have passed since the Scottish judge, Lord" Monboddo, was .horn,-Jft-bis-uefigtaaud-Progress~of .-- "Ancestor" Clients Are Quite Common, and Their Claims Are Just About as Visionary as Those of Numerous Patent Seekers Are Freakish. "What is the most peculiar case that has ever been brought to you by a prospective client?'' was the question put not long ago by the writer to one of the ablest lawyers in New York. The lawyer said tbat probably the oddest client who bad ever visited him was a woman about forty years old. who wanted to bring suit against out? of the Sunday newspapers for not having printed an account of her latest "social function" on its society page. as she had particularly requested over the telephone. As the second oddest client, be cited the case of another woman who had come to him In tears and sought to en list his legal aid in making ber husband stop^ flirting. "The woman assured me lhat she loved her husband and that she knew ber husband loved her, but that he had a habit of wink ing at every good looking woman he saw," said the lawyer. "When I told her there was no legal redress for her. inasmuch as she said 1 was a fool if 1 even thought she or her husband wanted a divorce, she exclaimed that I was the poorest lawyer she had ever heard of and left my office in a rage." The same question was put to sever al other lawyers and an unbelievably peculiar assortment of would be clients was revealed through their answers. One patent lawyer cited the case of a man who asked him to represent hint for two months at the patent office in Washington. "I want you to go there. stay there and represent me," he said "But," interposed the attorney, "what in the world do you want me to do while I am there?" The man drew his chair close to the lawyer's and in low tones told the attorney that he had invented an "aero plane clock," as he called it, and thnt he wanted him to go to the patent office and prevent any other inventor "from sneaking in a similar invention while the authorities are in a careless mood." The man seemed to be In nis normal senses despite the fact that his highly prized invention was absolutely uoth Ing more than a small watch fastened In a leather case, the sort that may be seen in stores anywhere. When he had imparted this information the IQW yer pointed out that there was noth Ing patentable about his "Invention." "There isn't, eh?" shouted the man "Indeed there is! Who has ever thought before this of putting a clock in an airship?" The attorney sought to humor him and said, "Wouldn't a watch in the aviator's pocket do as well?" The man Jumped up. "That's just the point!" he cried. "It would not do as well, because It might fall out" "Against such logic the attorney said he found himself helpless, and he told the man he feared the case was too difficult for him to handle. -^nother-stfajige^^lient_who visited a patent lawyer wanted to secure a pat- CIALS r^ o J* . •-—\ Saturday, January 17, '13 Mens Fleeced Undershirts __ Mens Fleeced Drawers Mens $1.75 Wool Shirts _ 1.

WAGES LOW AND EARNINGS ARE EXCESSIVE. Attorney for Calumet & Hecla Co. Denies the Allegations Made by the Report Against the Operators. Washington—Report of the department of labor's investigation of the Michigan copper strike, made public here Saturday, declares that strikebreakers were imported into the copper region by misrepresentations; that some were taken to the mines at the point of pistols, that strikers were wounded by firearms in the bands of armed guards, but'.that no evidence was found of officers being injured by the strikers. It was pointed out that while many of the smaller copper mining companies in the region were operating at a loss the Calumet & Hecla company, which employs more than 50 per cent of the men in the region, had "extremely large profits." Walter B. Palmer, investigator for the department, reported that the general average of day wages paid.,by all the companies throughout the year was $2.50. Prior to the present strike j he found the general work day was of 10 to 11 hours and some of the miners were paid as low as $2.35 a shift. Some other classes of labor were paid as low as ¢2. A summary of the investigation details the work of Palmer and also that of John B. Densmore, solicitor for tho department, and Special Agent John A. Moffitt, who were later sent as mediators. Their investigation covered 26 phases of the strike situation, beginning with the cause, wages, hours of labor, and including the Western Federation of Miners, violence the militia and armed guards injunctions against picketing and ending with the earnings of the company. Denial of statements in the report of the federal department of labor that strikebreakers were brought into the district under misrepresentations, were forced into the mines at the point of the pistol and that strikers were wounded by armed guards, was Issued by Attorney A.

Third—Permission given in the federal reserve act to state banks does not supersede the state law, which does not permit state banks to hold stock in other banks.

"Well, you don't see any money hanging en me, and 1 lived 3,000 miles west of there all my days," retorted the author-uctor good naturedly. "Three thousand miles!" gasped the tramp.

It i,s when^-tb^ tew fy\\V y\ remaining saill-rfg vessels 1 x^v j come into port from their long voyageB that these tales are usually forthcoming. The bark Annie M. Reid of New York is the last vessel to bring in a tale of mystery. "We were standing by the mizzeti topsail halliards when the shackle broke and the yards crashed down," said the sailor who told the story. "We came up into the wind and hove to, and it was at that moment 'that we saw the strange trader—at least we thought it was a trader, probably to the Western islands, off which we were. We "signaled for help, for we did not know how we were coming out of the squall. The strange steamship— a tramp we took her to be— was not more than an eighth of a mile away, but she made no reply whatever and kept right on her course. If there had been anybody nlive on the tramp he certainly would have seen us, as there was no fog to interfere. There are only two things to think of, either every soul on board was dead or we had seen one of those phantom ships they tell about. It couldn't have been a warning of death, however, for. we came out of it all right." A ship that sails by in the moonlight and does not answer when spoken, nor show any light or sign of life on board, is an even stranger apparition of the deep than those many phantom vessels which have loomed upon the sight of sailor men from out the fog or darkness. The crew of the Hengist, out of Liverpool, Captain Thearston of Liverpool in command. once saw such a specter. Capt. J. 0. Norton, who was first officer of the bark Hengist. when the phantom ship passed her by, tells the story of the wefrd vision: "It was in the Indian ocean that we saw her—the strange ship that I have never forgotten." said Captain Norton. "We were out of Calcutta, bound for New York, and although there was a haze the moon shone and the haze was so Hght that we could see perfectly well across the water. The haze was just enough to make a nice, pretty silvery veil that made everything look sort of mysterious and interesting without closing us in at all. "There were no lights on the vessel and we couldn't see a soul on board. We spoke to her, but she didn't answer. She passed right under our stern about a biscuit's toss away, and we thought she was going to foul us. She waB so near that we could feel the wind of her sails as she passed, but not a sign did she make to all our signaling—.fust sailed away into the hazy moonlight. Next day we had a terrible gale, one of the worst that I remember while I was at sei, and everybody thought the phantom ship had come to give warning. Why we should have been favored I don't 'TcrrowT~tmtv--.of course, there Is always I ha wan on watch t THJ&U? VOLS JVO «57<2Yoyj+LFZ OZT T&# PUJUfTCW &€ZZ> had run down a ship in a fog. The ship had gone down with all on board before anything could be done to save them, and this man had seen the last of her crew leaning over the side and cursing at him horribly, just before he was sucked into the water.- " 'He promised to find me out and to do for me wherever I should go,' said the shuddering wretch, 'and he'll do it, too. I look for him every night and I know he'll get me before long.' "I warned him to keep quiet about bis fears and not mention his story to Captain Stebbins nor to any of the crew, for as luck would have 1t, with such a captain, we had on board about as superstitious a lot as I have ever seen. Italians most of them, and so bound to tell their stories of apparitions that the captain had already caught one of them at it and had him Hogged as an example to the others. "My man didn't look any more contented as the days passed and I caught him more than once whispering with some of the Italians. I asked him what they were talking about and at first hemumbled that it was nothing, but at last he admitted that the sailors had several of tbem . seen strange sights during the night watch. They all decided that again and again they had seen a figure with wildly waving arms appear from the dark nets. The man was always cursing New York and Liverpool, that a specter appeared with such persistency that for a long time, until the vision vanished forever, no member of the crew ever consented to make a second voyage. The Nottebohm was one of the old Liverpool packet ships, which carried steerage passengers as well as freight. During one of her previous voyages the captain and several of her crew had had a terrific struggle, in the course of which the captain had been so Injured that he had died as a result of his wounds. No matter what the skeptical might say, crew after crew which shipped on the Marianne Nottebohm after this tragedy left the vessel at the end of thfl voyage swearing that every night a spectral figure appeared from the pilot house and wandered over the vessel, 'seeking everywhere apparently for something or somebody- There was a terrific storm one night and the apparition was for once in a way pretty well, forgotten in the more pressing perils of the moment. The night was very black and no one felt any too secure as they slipped on through the darkness. Suddenly they felt the ship come about so swiftly that they knew something strange must have happened. "Unusual as it was," said Capt. F. C. Norton, who tells the story, "we could not stop to And out about It horribly, but he was gone in a second I that night, for every man was too a reason why those ships are seen by one vessel and not by others. Someand they could not tell exactly what he said. "I tried to comfort Gould with the idea that etn.e me man had not appeared to him there was no reason that he should regard the apparition as that of tne man he had run down, but he would'not-.let this ease his mind in the slightest. It was just the night after our conversation when the thing came. 'T heard a terrific scream from the timeR they mean harm for everybody j bridge, and so did everybody else on on board, and sometimes they come dimply to give a friendly warning. There was one man on board who believed that our phantom ship came to warn us of the gale because her captain had been a friend of our own eantain. and when his ship went down with all on board he continued to haunt the sea. Naturally, as. he fell friendly, he would show himself pr his ship before a siorm. I can't say I beJieved all that myself. All that I know was that the phantom ship did come just as T>edescribed-it" j One of the most thrilling tales of thre fateful appearance of-phantom ships is told, by a retired first mate, who in his youth sailed under Capt John Stebbins on the steel tramp Marietta, bound from Madeira, tA Brazil. "Captain Stebbins was a bluff, direct, matter-of-fact person,'' said the mate, "and Ira had littte Jole'rance for what he declared was merely superstition, sc^the^Cjrew; w^re.jipt apt to speak ovefr.toud- of their supernatural experiences. That they: hnirt then*- howeverV^fw s^re eao*4|fc£gn4 a* I board, I was the first up there, but the poor fellow, who was whiter than any human being I have ever seen, could not tell me what had happened before Captain Stebbins had run up on the bridge and was shaking him, declaring that he had a relapse of the fever, which we all knew he had Buffered after coming off the voyage when he had run down a vessel. "The fellow had been too much startled, however, thla time to be managed even by Captain Stebbins. "'I did see him,' he declared, 'and he was cursing and waving his arms at me just as he did when he went down. The ship came up Just like it did before out of the fog. Ther«4- it was all of Ta sudden- a great gray thing, and there was be waving hit arms and screaming curse* at me. And then we kept right on, running straight through tbe ship/ hot on his own- part of the work to pay much attention to any other's. "After everything was all over and we could take time ,to talk about it the next day the helmsman told us that a spectral figure he had at first thought to be the captain had stood beside him, showing him how to lay his course. It was not until the helmsman-had handled a charm his -daughter had giv^en him that he discovered his visitor was a spirit. The power of the wraith was broken at that and the helmsman put about just In time to avoid an uncharted r**1 the spectre had evidently been guiding him onto. "But the Swede and his Italian mate must have seen something of the vision that night, also, for in the morni&g they looked like dying men and they could not be persuaded to ship again for the next voyage. Afterward we heard that they had been members ot the crew which attacked the former captain of the Marianne No doubt the murdered captain came back looking for some of his old a* eaitants and when he found them fought to drive the vessel on tho reef."

Why One of Them Ignored Executive Officer Dewey's Commands. Iu his autobiography George Dewey, the hero of Mauila bay, records that Farrugut's methods were always simple. There was a saying that bAs principal place for filing papers was his coat pocket. Generally he wrote his orders himself, perhaps with his knee or the ship's rail as a rest. Tlu author recalls that one day when 1M was writing be looked up and said: "JNow, how in the devil do you spel! Appalachicola? Some of these edu cated young fellows from Annapolis must know." The author continues: "A man who had such an important command could hardly have been mo. c democratic. One night 1 had given orders for a thorough cleaning of tinship the next morning. I was awakevery early, for it was stiflingly hut. Five o'clock came, and I beard no sound of the holystones on the deck. so I went above to find out why my orders were not obeyed, and my frnm<> of mind for the moment was entirely that of the disciplinarian. There was no activity at all on deck. I looked around for the officer of the deck. He was an old New England whaler. brown as a buccaneer, who had enlisted for the war from the merchant service. I recollect that he wore small gold rings in his ears, a custom witli some of the old fashioned merchant sailors who had traveled the worhl over. -1 found him seated up in the hammock netting, where it was cool, with Farragut at his side. ««-why aren't you cleaning ship?' 1 asked. " 'I think I am to blame.' said Farragut, with his pleasant smile. 'We two veterans have been swapping yarns about sailing ship days/ "The old whaler did not see how he could leave Farragut when Farragut, wanted to talk, and Inwardly perhaps he did not fail to enjoy his position JIS superior to the young executive officer's reprimands'."

Elephants are Interesting because they have such varied feelings, such a wide fauge of intelligent appreciation Doubtless this is in part due to thepossession in the trunk of an organ the development of which has itself .permitted development of brain power. Very great brain power could not lime been developed as an accompaniment merely of hoofs; hands, however Ihiperfect, were necessary or something else that would serve as a partial suit stltute for bauds. By watching a herd of elephants any one can speedily see the large range of uses to which the trunk is put and the large range of needs and emotions which -it develops and satisfies. During courtship the bull and cow caress one another with their trunks. Elephants are very curious, and the trunks are used to test every object which arouses their curiosity. The cow is constantly fondling and guiding the calf with her trunk. The trunk is used to gather every species of food and to draw water. It Is used to spurt dust or water over the body. It is used to test rotten and dangerous ground. It Is in constant use to try the wind so as to guard against the approach of any foe. As one watches the great beasts the trunks continually appear in the air above them, uncurling, twisting, feeling each breath of air. Now and then a great ear Is flapped. Now and then the weight of the body is slightly shifted from one colossal leg to another. The luge beasts are rarely enr tlrely motionless for any length of time. Nor are they long silent, for aside from subdued squeaks or growls and occasional shrill calls there are queer internal rumblings. Their eyes are very bad. l i k e the rhino, they can only see as a very nearsighted man sees. At a distance of eighty yards or so. when in my dull colored hunting clothes, I could walk slowly toward them or shift my position without fear of discovery.—Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's Magazine.

Of course pilgrims In India usually travel third class, and the best of such accommodations makes no provision for comfort. Most of the carriages are divided into small cubicles, with long. narrow wooden bencbes running along the two sides. There Is no convenience of any kind, and the travelers are packed Into-tbe compartment like so many sardines in a tin. On festive occasions, wben Hindus Journey by the hundred thousand to the sacred spots, it is a sight wortb traveling many miles to see a pilgrim train bound for some shrine on the Ganges. Wben it stops at a wayside station scores of Intending passengers* try to force tbelr way into the already closely packed third class carriages by battering down the locked doors or even endeavoring to crawl through the Windows over the heads and shoulders Of the occupants. The police use their batons freely to drive the invaders away, but usually a few manage to evade the constables and secure a foothold on the train.

The Two Combine In a Very Effective Way to Foil the Efforts of Those Who Feel It a Duty to Help Themselves to Fine Linen and 8ilverware. The concerted action of the house detectives of all the large hotels in America has carefully extracted the points from two erstwhile excellent stories the first, ascribed to Adele Ritchie who, when asked once if she had ever been in Kansas City, replied, "I can i Juat remember, but I will look amon^ my Rowels and see," and the second the more pathetic narrative of the young man who was obliged to break off his engagement because as he lei t the dining room of a large hotel with his fiancee a number of forks and spoons fell from the sleeves of ho; gown, for the house detectives have devised a ^system" whereby the man or woman who wants to take a souvenir from a big hotel finds her path beset with almost insurmountable difficulties. The matter is carried on with the greatest artfulness. There are no "hurt feelings," no bones broken, no arrests made. The house detectives simply extract the unrightfully .attached articles as painlessly as they extract the points from old stories, and in the great majority of cases the frustrated "borrower" never knows at all what happened to him. First the detective is provided with a complete list of everything which is owned by the hotel—every particle of linen, silver, soap, etc. Then he delegates the responsibility for the care of them to various head waiters, waiters, housekeepers and chambermaids. Then he gets a list each day of new arrivals and of those who having remained a few days are preparing to leave. Prom these lists of occupied rooms the detective calculates the areas where trouble might possibly brew and Into these he feoes with his subdivided lists and a checking tip book. The chambermaid is required to give an exact accounting of every piece of linen she has supplied to the man or woman who Is about to leave. This is in turn taken to the laundries, where a balance is made of those sheets, towels, etc., which have come out of each room. If there is a precise balance the matter ends there, but woe to the woman who believes that the towels she placed carefully In her locked trunk will not be "missed." Her trunks and bags on their way downstairs are simply carried to the basement floor as if by chance, and there the house detective, with the aid of a skeleton key, goes through them in search of lost hotel linen. It Is very gently removed and checked up on the housemaid's list, and the trunk Is carefully repacked and relocked. Nothing is left to give warning that the search has been made, and nothing is ever by any remotest chance said to the departing guest. She Is sent cheerily on her way rejoicing and is usually perplexed out of all reason to account for the fact that the towels and—pillow cases that .she knows well she put into her trunk have mysteriously disappeared. Do you suppose for a moment that this is an extreme case nor even a rare one? It happens on an average once a day in every large hotel in New York and with almost as astounding frequency in Boston. Philadelphia and Chicago. And in the case of silverware the matter is almost as simple, thoug'i remedying these thefts requires takin? into your .confidence at least the man who pays the bill, for every waiter hn* had his eye trained to count up the si! verware while he is placing tbe finger bowls, and if so much as one small spoon is not where It should be it in unostentatiously placed .upon the bill The hotel graciously leaves it to the discretion of the escort as to whether or not the culprit shall be told. But «t least it does not permit him to be enlightened only by the belated method of a leaky sleeve.- Again, the head waiter will assure you that this happens, not once or twice, but ceaselessly. "Many a woman that thinks she1* got away with it would be surprised to know that It Is down In black and white on her escort's check and thar byoth he and the hotel know just how many spoons and forks she is taking home with her," said one genial head waiter, who viewed the business with considerable indulgence. - New York Times...

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, January 22, 1914 No. 4 ; m. r Growths Hinder Work Seventy-five per cent of children who fail to keep up with their grades in school work are month breathers. The cause of this condition is usually enlarged tonsils .r. ;or adenoids or both. These throat ^^rowths interfere with the noimal process of breathing, forcing the -child to breathe Through the month rather than the nostrils. If a child shows a tendency to breathe through the mouth, the parent or teachers should insist upon a medical examination and if the growths are found to be present to a dangerous decree they should be removed, as otherwise the entire physical condition and sometimes the mental condition of the child is impaired. Adenoids and enlarged tonsils make, a child much more susceptible to colds, sore throat, tonsilitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, anaemia, catarrh, ear diseases and not infrequently loss of hearing, while -'defective speech, dullness and lick of the power to concentrate; often result, interfering with the student's progress in schools. Evidences of adenoids are found in practically every schoolroom. The pronounced cases often cause the jaw to become deformed so that the upper teeth protrude and the arch is narrowed. While the enlarged growths are sometimes outgrown, the effects of them are^ permanent. I :»4 Anderson Fred Wylie, wife and son visited at the home of John Conners of N. Putnam, Thursday. * Mrs. R. M.

He is being assisted in his work by N. P. Mortenson of this place. Tiie pickling station is a sure thing now and will be a great benefit to the farmers in this# vicinity. Cucumber picking comes at a time of year when work is scarce and will mean money in pocket to those enterprising farmers who consider taking acreage. The company pays 75c per bushel for No. 1 cucumbers up to 3J inches long, 25c per bushel from 3J to h\ aud 15c per bushel for culls, which includes all those more than h\ inches long unless yellow and seedy. These prices cover nearly every cucumber raised so there is practically no loss to the grower. The company furnishes the seed. The estimated profit usually made on an acre of cucumber ground is 190.Of, although it has often run higher according to season and method of cultivation. The company has been organized for 14 years and has 150 acres contracted for at Jackson, the place of its first organization. The company has 11 stations at present and we know farmers will make no mistake in taking up with the cucumber proposition.

CHOSEN COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS VOTE IN CAUCUS. Contention of Governor Ferris and Senator Townsend That State Is Handling Situation Is Sustained. Washington—The resolution of Congressman William J. MacDoijald, of Calumet, submitted some days ago, calling for a congressional investigation of the situation in the copper country, of Michigan, was referred to tae house committee on rules for decision as to whether United States interference was warranted. "No federal question is involved either in the Michigan or in the Colorado strike situations, and "Nothing has been shown to indicate that the governors of the respective states are not in a position adequately to cope with the situation." These are the findings of the Democratic majority members of the committee Saturday. They sustain the contention of Governor Ferris and Senator Townsend that Michigan can handle its labor affairs and virtually ends the demand for federal interference, so far as action in the house is concerned.

Steamer Marina Catches Signals and Reaches Vessel Barely in Time to Rescue Crew Without Their Belonging. Baltimore—Rescued from their icecoated sinking ship after they had given up all hope, the 13 members of the crew of the five-masted schooner Fuller Palmer, Sunday morning arrived in Baltimore aboard the Donaldlon line steamer Manna. The rescue was made by the Marina early Thursday morning, about 154 miles southeast of Cape Cod. Since Monday morning, when the -gale which swept the-Atlantic coast had so battered the echooner that she began to leak, the crew had fought to keep her afloat. With sails whipped into shrtds by the wind, and rigging broken and so coated with ice that it could not be handled.^he Fuller Palmer had practically drifted at the mercy of the raging seas. Shortly after 5 o'clock Thursday morning, a rocket shot up some miles away, showing that at last their signals had been noticed. So low was the Fuller Palmer in the water by the time the Marina's boats arrived no time was given the men to collect any of their belongings. The transfer was made without accident. May Try Trans-Atlantic Flight. Dayton, O.—Upon the chances the flyer is willing to take will depend the date of the first crossing of the Atlantic ocean in an aeroplane, according to the belief of Orvllle Wright, who is just now figuring with Aviator Harry N. Atwood upon such a flight. Atwood is not going to take forlorn chances, so he is indulging in a great deal of mathematical study. Mr. Wright has said the chances of success attending such an effort were far less visionary than there were only a short time ago. He believes the flight could be made from New Foundland in 25 hours. The longest aeroplane flight up to the present time was of about 11 hours duration. Marketing of Farm Products. Washington—A popular government institution for the scientific marketing of farm products, to be known as the Agricultural Capital, to be separate from any existing branch of the government, was proposed in a bill by Senator Borah.

When the remarkable series of arctic expeditions came to an end, after years of fruitless search for the long-lost Sir John Franklin, the fleet commander, Sir Edward .Belcher, write "The Last of the Arctic Voyages." "* No o n e was more surprised than Belcher when McClintock's search In the Fox was Initiated, and the final record was made of Franklin's death and of the discoveries of his shipmate!. And then followed that line of heroic American explorations which opened up the wondrous waterways of the West Greenland - coast and thus unbarred the hitherto closed gates to the very pole. In years just passed, when the stirring dispatch ^came announcing that Perry had reached the north geographic pole, the acme of his ambitious struggles of a quarter of a century, the word went round that arctic exploration was at an end.' Even that virile and indomitable descendant of the Norse Vikings, Roald Amundsen, was deterred from that arctic voyage on which he had already started. Turning the prow of • the Pram from Bering strait he sailed southward, and, scaling high antarctic peajts with Norwegian ski and dogdrawn sledges, attempted the south geographic pole. When the year 1912 opened there was noted a widespread recurrence of popular interest in arctic fields of research, so that there were no less than six expeditions Initiated, excluding those of Russia. The Dane, Koch, and the Swiss, de Quarvain, crossed the Greenland icecap at different points. The German Schroder- Straus, found disaster and death in North Spitsbergen. Meanwhile the Canadian, Stefansson, planned to reach the hypothetical continent long forecast by Americans. The American, McMillan, sought definitely to outline Crocker Land. The Frenchman, Prayer, re-explored that Franz Josef Land which his father was first to traverse. Amundsen now starts via Bering strait to drift northwestward with the ice floes of the Siberian ocean. These all represent what may be called foreign and idealistic exploration, as compared with the Russian expeditions, which are domestic and economic. Before describing the discoveries of Lieutenant Wilkitzky, the Russian, it will be well to set forth foreign invasions into the Siberian ocean nearest to Nicholas Second Land. First in order is the expedition of 1880, commanded by De Long, which drifted northwesterly from Bering strait « until the Jeanette was crushed by the ice, Nansen followed in the Fram, adopt- <* lng De Long's plan. The drift of the Fram was a practical continuation of tint of the Jeanette, though no land wis seen, and the -ship passed into deep water about 250 mitea tn the- Tofth of the new Siberian islands. The most important addition to the hydrography of the Siberian ocean, time and means considered, was made by Capt. Edward H. Johanesen, in the tailing schooner Nordland. Leaving Cape. Mouritius, Nova Zembia, he found the ocean ice-free, so that he crossed to Cape Taimur, near Cape Chelyurskin. * On August 16, 1878, he discovered in 77 degrees 42 minutes north latitude, 86 degrees east? longi- • tude, a? island named Eisamkeit (Lonely island), scarcely more than 100 miles to the west of Nicholas Second Land. Most interestinr were the experiences'of Byron A. E, von Nordenskjoid, the greatest, all phases of action and of knowledge considered, of-arctic explorers. In his unique voyage, , the circumnavigating or Asia, he reached pa August 19, 1878, the north point of Asia. Captain Chelyuskin, which Tie determined to be in 77 degrees $8 minutes north latitude 103 degrees l? minutes east longitude. As he was th* first known visitor to the tap* sipeVfts dfscovery by Chelyns- , kin by s!£d*e Journey in 1742, Ite surroundings were carefully noted. Nordensjold sent his supporting steamer, the Lena, seaward to dredge. She was stopped by heavy and very close tee in about 77 degrees 46 minutes north, eoms) 75 miles south of Nicholas Second Land, to which the made the nearest approach hitherto ,» Method of Preparation Has Much to Do With its Appreciation When Put on the Table. Sausage, considered by some as a plebeian edible, ranking with Irish stew and corn beef and cabbage, and not possible on the ultra-refined board, may really be made the basis of many delicious and even dainty luncheon dishes. Sausage sliced and delicately fried in its own grease, drained and then browned crisply, and served with tiny little buckwheat cakes four incheB across, will make a delightful luncheon on a cold winter day. Sausage smothered in potato is another luncheon dainty, which even the most cultured need not disdain. ParboU some very small link sausage five minutes. Bake a number of medium sised potatoes, and when done cut in half and remove the mealy pulp, mashing it well and adding butter and a little cream or milk, as well as some salt and pepper. Fill the potato skins with this mixture, leaving a depression in the center of each. Lay in the parboiled sausages and brown well in the oven for a few minutes. Mcholsti* «3eeo/7c/ Lancf emcf /*V» re/ah'orr to the Sfor&h flote 168 degrees of longitude—while the distance across it exceeds by many hundred miles that from the northernmost point of North America to the Isthmus of Panama. The survey of these remote regions was but one of the many progressive improvements for Russia initiated by that luminous character, Peter the Great. Planned in his last years, this most extended of geographic surveys ever attempted was known as the Great Northern expedition; it lasted 17. years, from 1725 to 1742. Its results gave fame to Bering, Mura« vief, to the Laptiefs, to Prontschischef and others. In later days they were followed by Kotzebue, Wrangel, Anjou and Sannlkof. How Russia has persistently pursued a maritime policy for the development of Siberian trade has been fully set forth by Gen. J. de SchokaJsky, Russian imperial navy, in various publications. Safe routes of navigation to and from the valleys of the Yenesei, of the Lena and of other lesser rivers are absolutely essential for the prosperity and development of this habitable empire, which is half as large again as is the United States. Siberia la no longerr a country of convicts, but a land swarming with pioneers, a wondrous leaven among its 10,000,000 of inhabitants. Routes via the Kara sea and around the north end of Nova Zembia have been tested, but neither has been found same for commercial ships year after year. It was then suggested that a satisfactory route could be found by entering Bering strait. This would enable Russia to obtain a Siberian outlet, with Vladivostok as the main port, to which would be shipped the products of the vast region to the east of Cape Chelyuskin. In,the summer of 1912 two powerful Ice-breakers, the Taimyr and the Vaigatz, made safely a voyage via Hering strait to and from the Lena. Soundings anu surveys were made en route, but ice conditions around Cape Chelyuskin prevented the ships from returning to Russia through the Kara sea. « Early in July, iai3.-ths4cfl breakers to prosecute their surveys and to renew .their efforts to round Cape Chelyuskin and return to St. Petersburg through the Kara sea. The expedition was under command of General Sergelef, imperial Russian navy, who was incapacitated by a stroke of apoplexy. Lieutenant Wilkitzky, imperial navy, succeeding to the command, made a running survey of the Asiatic coast from the Kolyma river, latitude 70 degrees north, longitude 160 degrees east, to Cape Chelyuskin. It is the first time that this cape has been visited by a ship coming from the eastward. Wilkitzky's hopes of completing the circumnavigation of Asia were destroyed in longitude 96 degrees east, where he found an impenetrable barrier of solid ice. As the sea was open to the north, he decided to explore this unknown area of the Siberian ocean. To his astonishment, be* soon sighted high peaks, the summits of a new land. In latitude 81 degrees north, longitude 100 degrees east he landed, hoisted the Russian imperial colors, took possession of the land in the name of the csar and named it Nicholas Second Land. Wilkltiky followed the land north* ward; fading it with a continuing northwesterly trend. In latitude Si degrees north, longitude 9ft degrees known to extend through more than two degrees of latitude, with a coast line of nearly 200 miles. While data to that effect are lacking, it is probable that Nicholas Second Land consists of a number of close lying islands, similar to Franz Josef Land. Its high, abrupt cliffs, and many isolated peaks seem to sustain Wilkitzky's opinion that it may be of volcanic formation. Despite the fact that vegetation was scant at the landing place, the land evidently abounds in arctic game. Traces of reindeer were visible, polar bears were seen, and bird life was abundant Off shore many walrus were Been. The large collection made by the Russian officers of specimens relating to the geology, the fauna and the flora will throw much light on its physical conditions. In the way of general knowledge it is evident that the continental shelf of Asia is broader than has been generally supposed, being from 300 to 350 miles or more in width. When forced from the southern shores of Nicholas Second Land by tbe ice pack, Wilkitzky found the ocean to the east quite ice free. He steamed easily along the seventyninth parallel, through the sea where De Long and his gallant companions drifted for months, ice-beset until the Jeanette sank. Some additions and corrections were made in the number and position of the De Long islands. Most important was the discovery by Wilkitzky on Bennett island of the diaries and records of Baron Toll. This Russian explorer visited this island by sledge in 1902 and doubtless perished on his attempted return journey to Kotelnoi island. The scientific world will await with Interest the last message of this intrepid Russian scientist, who gave his life to advance geographic knowledge to Russian dominions. It is a happy coincidence that this very year a memorial tablet to Baron Toll is in process of installment on Kotelnoi island. Coat Now From Spitsbergen.

J j w i an American. John M. Longyear of Marquette, Mich., who has a title to 170 square miles from a Norwegian company, reports that bis company has shipped 35.000 tons this year. The Engineering and Mining Journal says that a deposit of about 60,- 000,000 tons exists in Spitzbergen. The mines are worked by from 260 to 300 men and although the shipping season lasts but three months, mining is carried on throughout the year. But Spitzbergen is still a No Man's Land and tbe northern nations of Europe look upon Mr. Longyear and his American company as interlopers. In fact, Russians have already luvaried the company'8 territory and taken away a cargo of coal. Consequently the Americans are in a quandary as to what to do. SAUSAGE AS A DELICACY Old Mother Hubbard. A rare discovery has been made in the realm of literature—nothing lest than the author of "Old Mother Hubbard," whose lines, unprotected by copyright, were appropriated by sue* cessive editors of Mother Goose with* out the least bit of a "thank yon." Tbe discovery of the name of the as> thor was made by a clergyman of the church of England, the present vicar of Tealmpton, in County'Devon, who has given the news of his happy PLUM PUDDING ICE CREAM Change From the Usual Method of Serving Will Be Appreciated by All the Family. A, novel change from the usual plum pudding is this delightful dessert, which is quite easily made: Scald a pint of milk, add to it four eggs beaten with one cupful and a half of sugar. Stir constantly over hot water until it forms a rich CUBtard; strain and set aside to cool. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of cocoa in one-half cupful of boiling water and boil for a moment. Chill this and add to the cold custard with one tablespoonful of vanilla and one pint of cream. Shred sufficient citron to measure one-half cupful; steam onehalf cupful of seeded raisins and one-quarter cupful of sultanas until plump and tender. Blanch and cut fine two dozen almonds; mix these, add just enough sherry to moisten, and let stand for an hour. Pour the mixed cream into the freezer and freeze until like a thick mush. Open, and work in the fruit, then finish freezing. In serving, garnish with whipped cream. Sauce for Chops. Pound fine an ounce of black pepper and half an ounce of allspice, with an ounce of salt, and a half ounce of scraped horseradish and the same of shalots peeled and quartered; put these ingredients into a pint of mushroom ketchup or walnut pickle; let them steep for a fortnight and then strain it. A teaspoonful or two of this is generally an acceptable addition, mixed with the gravy usually sent up for chops and steaks; or added to thick melted butter. Another delightful sauce for chops Is made by taking two wineglasses of port and two of walnut pickle; four of mushroom ketchup; half a dozen anchovies pounded, and a like number of shalots sliced and pounded; a tablespoonful of soy and half a drachm of Cayenne pepper; let them simmer gently for ten minutes; then strain, and when cold put into bottles, well corked and sealed over.

Franco-Prussian Veteran. General McAduraa of either Fcotch or Irish birth, who raided a battalion of Irish voluuteera at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian *ar, took ljis men to Fiance and led them against the Germans, has for many yfcars lived quietly in "a villa at Cannes. France. He was given the rank of general on the battlefield. Some twenty years ago he was elected a members of the chamber of deputies, and when the moment came for him to be confirmed in his seat he was unable to prove that he was born in France or was a naturalized citizen. The chamber, however, in consideration of his record during the war, waived the matter an<T confirmed him in his seat. A CLERGYMAN'S TESTIMONY. ) Rev. B. Healop. The Rev.

But 170 rural districts m Michigan have school grounds containing two acres of ground, yet educational authorities contend that at least two acres of ground are necessary for play grounds and experimental agricultural plats for use by a rural school, The attorney general has given an opinion that farmers owning property cannot give permission i a others 4y-4umt rabbits with gnpea pigs and ferrets, there being a state law against hunting rabbits with these animals; also a farmer or other person has no right to sell the skins of fur bearing animals when such animals are killed in order to protect property.

Despite the fact that land in rural districts is comparatively cheap, more than half of the country schools posses grounds of one-half acre or less, forcing the children to play in the roads or in neighboring fields. Recognizing the need for doing something towards checking the bean blight in Michigan, the state board of agriculture, at its session in East Lansing last week, directed that a fund of $1,200 be set aside to pay the expenses of an expert to make a study of bean diseases in the state. The investigation probably will begin at the college within a few weeks. In remitting for her subscription, Mrs. Frank Duchesneaw of Enumclaw, Wash.,' says that although there have been many changes in Pinckney within the past few years, and although many unfamiliar names appear in the local columns of the paper, the Dispatch is always a welcome visitor to their home and does one good when they do read of their old friends.

There U just one animal man has never conquered, never can conquer. Centuries ago every other beast became the slave of man or else fled far from human habitation. One and one only refused to flee or to submit The horse, the dog, the cow, the sheep, the goat, the |>lg—all came Into camp thousands of years ago. Tbey have ever since worked for man or fed him, or both. They have been bis unquestioned and unquestioning slaves. The elephant, too. has become a servant as have other jungle lords. The lion, the tiger, the wolf, the bear, and such other savage beasts as have not yielded service to man have slunk away In terror from the path of civilization, and are killed on sight But one single animal claims man's protection, shares his food and hearth, wanders at will and unmolested through, human haunts, and does absolutely no work in return; obeys no orders, and does hot even serve as food or clothing. This only exception to a world of servants and of scared enemies is the domestic cat Think it over. The cat will not work. It will not guard your home. Its flesh and fur serve no use. Its one useful act Is the catching of mice and rats. And these it slays and eats because it wants to; not to help out its owner. For example, it does not bring Its captured prey to its owner to eat Nor will It hunt rodents unless it happens to feel like doing so. The cat won't work. It won't even learn tricks unless It happens to want to. And no one can punish or torture it Into learning any trick it doesn't want to learn. That is why there are almost no trick cats in animal shows and why the few that are there do such very simple tricks. A dog can be tortured Into doing tricks. A cat can't When some animals became man's slaves and others fled from him, the cat did neither. It simply took all the favors and advantages man had to offer, and refused to do one lick of work In exchange. Beat a dog and he will fawn on you. Beat a cat and It win attack yon and then desert you. You can't conquer the cat Yon can't make it work.—New York World. Granulated Sugar 1-2 lb. Royal Baking Powder 1 lb.

The legend of the Flying Dutchman is thus explained in a work entitled "Researches In Atmospheric Phenomena," by Thomas Foster. The story runs that once upon a time a certain Dutch sea captain swore such a fearful oath that as a punishment for his blasphemy he was condemned by the higher powers to beat about the seas until the day of Judgment. His vessel is never known to get Into port and is seen, at uncertain times sailing at an Immense rate before the wind under full press of canvas. In very stormy weather she is seen about the Cape of Good Hope. The explanation Is probably- found in the waterspout or in some storm driven mist. $100 Reward, $100 Thareaders of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Gloria Kerr, a motherless girl, who has spent most of her Itfe in school, arrives ai her father's home in Belmont David Kerr is the political boss of the town, and is anxious to prevent his daughter learning of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, Is negotiating with Judgs Gilbert, Kerr's chief adviser, for a valuable franchise. They fear the opposition of Joe Wright, editor of the reform paper. Kerr asks the assistance of Judge Gilbert in introducing Gloria to Belmont society, and promises to help him put through the packers' franchise and let him lave all the graft Gloria meets Joe Wright at the Gilberts. It appears -they are oa intimate terms, having met previously on a touring party in Europe. The Gilberts Invite Gloria to iitay with them pending the refurnishing of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight against the proposed franchise In the columns of his paper, the Belmont News. Kerr, through his henchmen, exerts every influence to hamper Wright in the publication of his paper. Gloria takes up settlement work. Kerr and his lieutenants decide to buy Kerr's paper 8*id ask the editor to meet them at Gilbert's office. Calling at Gilbert's office to solicit a donation Gloria .meets Wr'ght. He proposes and Is accepted while, waiting to be called into the conference. Wright refuses to sell his paper and declares Tie will fight to a finish, . Xh* Belmont News appears with a bitter attack on Kerr. Gloria calls Wright a coward and refuses to listen to any explanation from him. Broken-hearted, Gloria decides to plunge more deeply into settlement work. She calls on a sick girl of the underworld, named Ella. She learns for the first time that her father is the head of a notorious gang of political grafters. Sounds of a conflict are heard In the room over Ella's. Gloria finds Wright uncpnsclous. a victim of an attempted, assassination by thugs in the pay of the political ring. She hides him In Ella's rdom and defies the thugs. She awes them by announcing that she is Kerr's daughter. Ella threatens to give up Wright to the thugs and Is choked into unconsciousness by Gloria, who then falls unconscious on Wright's body. They are rescued by Dr. Hayes and his wife. Wright decides to sell his paper and leave Belmont. Gloria hears that Wright 1s going away and calls upon him to ask his forgiveness for her harsh words. CHAPTER- XXIII.—Continued. Patty, tired of listening to a conversation she could not understand, and, rerneijjfty£ring the visitor, asked: "What shall I tell htm?" "Walt a minute, Patty." Wright motlohed the child to the door. Then he turned to Gloria. "You can leave by this side entrance. No one will be the wiser for this visit. The minute the door closes behind you, Patty— and I~will have forgotten that you called. But I will not have forgotten your kindness and consideration. Before you leave I want you to know that I can't value too highly the motive that prompted-your call. To the end I'll treasure It a3 a memory hallowed by the parting from the only woman I—Goodby." ; He felt he could npt complete what be wished to say without a show of emotion to which tt would not' do to give way:' cThe only thing he could do was to hold out his hand and say, "Good>by." Gloria put both her Hands behind her back, and shook her head. "No, I refuse to go." "What do you mean?" "I mean just what I say. I intend to stay here and meet my father and he>r what he has to say to you." Wright gazed at her intently, but she did not quiver under his scrutiny. "It shall be as you say," he assents . ' f i r &•.*,;• .-i"'-'*. . ed. "Go, Patty, tell him to come in." After Patty closed the door there was an awkward silence which he broke by saying, "1 must say that this meeting is ill-advised." She sighed and she ok her head. "Oh, ill-advised or not, my mind is made up. Things cannot go on as they arfc 'If hericefdrth I am to direct my own affairs, why shouldn't I begin now?" "But how explain your being here?" "If he can't believe what I have to say he isn't worth the slight esteem with which I still regard him.'* "Here he comes." "Let him see you flrBt." She retreated* to a corner of the room where her father's first glance at he entered would not discover hor. Patty opened the door and David Kerr walked into the room. The two men looked at each other without any attempt at a feigned cordiality. "Mr. Wright," began the boss, and at mention of his name the newspaper man bowed slightly in recognition of the greeting, "I met Dr. Hayes this afternoon. He spoke of you. and what ha told me has led me to break a custom of fcaarsi l've<<5ome to see yon. In this tofjn it's always been the other way.'*: He spoke with aH his aoaustomed £orc*. and seamed even:* more oonftdent than usual aa he added, "The old way will continue/air, but owing to what you might call the re- JMtUOMbijp that once1—" "BtrlVtlurodeWd Wright In aato&V iahment Coyar$Jr^ looked at Gloria* M irad hiaown smaaamant mirrarad MBa«mf *aV I >tao«ght I'd oome to aWyott. thVboae continued, not head' Oop/rigut by A- a MoClurg * Co., 10» "One minute, sir." Wright was not willing for him to proceed without his knowing that his daughter was In the room with them. "Before you speak further you must know that we're pot alone in this room." "We're not?" He looked about trfm, and at the sound of a .familiar voice turned sharply, to confront his daughter. "No, father; I'm here." She advanced coolly to the center of. the room, and waited for him to speak. "Gloria! My daughter here!" He managed to gasp. Wright, determined not to have his hand forced, waited to see what card the daughter would play. "Wait a minute, please," she remarked quietly, the most selff>o&' sessed of the three. "Are you so blind you <ja»"t eee> you find me here because I wish it so? My visit to Mr. Wright surprised him just as much as did yours. When you were announced. I told him I would stay." "So that's it, is it?" her father raged. "Have you turned against me, too? Why didn't I raise you like-you ought to 'a' been!" It was with an evident effort that he was restraining himself even as much as he was. "Would to heaven you had!" Gloria exclaimed in a low tone. "You gave me only the roses of life, and now the thorns—all that life offers me—seem sharper than I can bear." Wright had thought his heart had been so wrung that nothing could hurt him worse, but this confession of unhappiness to her father made his own unhappine&s greater than he had believed it could be. "Gloria, this is distressingly painful. Please don't," he begged. Then he turned to her father. "Why have you come here?" "Why is she here?" "Father," now she spoke timidly, a maiden telling of a dear, dead love, "for a little while Mr. Wright and. I— were engaged—to be married. I don't think you know what that means to a girl, what it meant to me. But you do know how it ended. Yet we're still such good friends that I felt I could come this afternoon to—" As she spoke, a great light began to dawn upon her father. At the words "good friends" he saw his whole plan successful, although worked out along lines a trifle different than what had been in his mind when he had determined to call upon the editor. Your successful general is a great opportunist, and David Kerr was quick to seize thiB opportunity. "Good friends!" he echoed, interrupting her. "Then I'm glad I found you here. Just listen to me a minute. I ain't got much to say, Mr. Wright, but we understand each other pretty well. Now then—you gave us a pretty hard bump, an' I admire you fer it Of course, you're new to Belmont an* it looks all right from yer p'int o' view." His tone was now suave and conciliatory. J^But yo«!rfi^too good a "Oh!" Gloria's disgust was unspeakable. Mere rage was useless to express her feelings. Kerr turned to Wright, since Gloria appeared to have no inclination to listen. "So I argues, why not fix it up between us." Then he apofee to his daughter in explanation, "Not knowin' you'd be here. But it's just as well. Now, "Mr. Wright, what I say is this: This town wants somebody to run it. Belmont can't git along withdut somebody to keep the wheels greased. I'll put the paper on its feet fer you, an' gradually—as gradually as you like— you kin come over to my way of think- In'. Then what'd be more natural than fer you to take tfver the runnin' o' things—especially as you'd be my sonin- law?" Wright was about to make reply, but Gloria was too quick for him "Oh, this is more than I can bear! Am I a dog, a horse, a p!g. that I can be traded in a dirty deal with not so much as *by your leave?' I'll not* stand it for another instant. One humiliation after another has been my lot, but this is the last. I'm through with you. What has passed has taught you nothing; you're the bargaining, trading, scheming politician still, so low that you'd make your own daughter, your own flesh and blood, the bait to lure a good man from his purpose. But you can't do it,"-she cried, a note of triumph creeping into her denunciation; "he's not your kind. And do you believe that I'd submit to sw;h a thing? What can you think of me? You put me on a plane with those vile creatures who pay you for protection." "Gloria, please stop!" Wright pleaded. Her father could only look at her in wonder as she poured out thepent- up passion of her inmost soul. "No, I'll not stop—there's more to say. Here, within this hour, Mr. Wright asked me again to be his wif3, and I refused^refused because of you. I came'h«*e to warn him against you, to tell him the truth, because once we loved each other. No one can blame me for wishing him well. I came to tell him because 1 can't be here after this to save him as once I did. Over my body 1 dared your hirelings to take him, and not one moved. Now I'm going away forever and I you? Nothtn' but glum looks an car»r words. If yer goin' away, go* I die own you. I east you off." The girl did not quail beneath bis bitter words.. They only inflamed her to announce the decision she bad al ready made. Her lip curled with scorn, her eyes snapped, as she looked at her father. "You disown me! Yon cast me off I*' All the contempt stfe could muster she threw into her voice. "What right have you, who would barter me away as you would a horse or dog? No, it's 1 disown you!" Wright walked over to her and sought to take her hand gently in his, but she drew away. She would stand alone. Like a blind old bear David Kerr semed to grope his way to the door. There he turned to gaie once more upon the wreck of his latest bchemes. His rage was still hot upon him. . "I found you in this—this adventurer's room. I leave you here. Look to yerself, you are no c*hild o' mine." The door hanged behind him anp^ Gloria Kerr knew that they had met for the la&t time. The girl, feeling so miserably alone in the world, turned to find bent upon her the tender gaze of the man whom she had once sworn to follow to the end of the world. Forthem love was dead, she knew, and now life would be for her only a succession of weary days. I thought all but my body died that day we spoke of love to find it but a dream," she acknowledged sadly, **yet there was one cup still more bitter 1 had to drain—and this was that cup's dregs." f ~ - T - — — WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Telia How She W M Saved by Taking Lydia E Pinkbarn's Vegetable Compound* Loffansport, Ind. — "My baby wad over a year old and I bloated till I was a burden to myself.

If it's too strong fer you to go, I'll cut out that Maple avenue railway line, an' we'll go at It some other way." Gloria looked at her father in astonishment. Wright did not interrupt him, wishing to hear all that he had to say. "This campaign's taught me I'm growln' old. Some day somebody's got to take my place. There ain't a man in the party with your sense. 1 need you, aa'~what's more—you'll profit by bein' with me." "Mr. Kerr, It won't take me many words to give you your answer." .

You're not a coward. I'm going, but your place is here." "Do you think I shall let you go alone? Never. The one reason I am going east is to sell the Belmont News. I'm through with it. Then I shall follow you over the world until I make you mine—because i love you." The girl looked at him with the faintest of smiles battling with her settled melancholy. He was bordering on melodrama, and she was regarding him with the same gentleness a loving mother exhibits toward an unreasoning little child. "How selfish you are, Joe. All your fine sermons are going for naught. You've preached of your duty, and yet at the chance to show your devotion to that duty you're wanting to give up the fight. I'm not worth it, Joe, really I'm not. Think of Belmont. A general doesn't desert his soldiers after a victory, just because be knows the enemy has sent for reinforcements. That would be cowardly, and it isn't like you, Joe. The brave general doesn't give ground, he advances. Don't follow roe; I would hate you. I know how Belmont needs you." But I need you, Gloria. And what is more, you need me and I can't let you go alone. There 1» a world elsewhere, eve'n other Belraonts where we can live and labor and love.

How did you happen to be there?'* Briefly she detailed the. visit, minimteiftg her-part in saving-himr~None she less he was able to see that it was to her he owed perhaps life itself. He listened in silence, letting her tell her utory in her own way. "Gloria, I've come to a decision." She looked at him questloningly. "I'm ?oing to do what you've ordered- I'm going to stay here and fight for-Bel- ?uont" "Joe. you mean it!" Her face lit up with pleasure and she held out both her hands to- him. He took them both, and to her surprise, and despite her resistance, drew her to him. "But I'm not going to stay alone. If I'm to fight, the good fight, I'm- not \ going to fight alone. You called me a coward for wanting to go; won't you i award me for deciding to stay? And out of unhappiness happiness' will come. You must stay, Gloria; our place is here." \ "Our place!" she echoed, and then was silent for a little time, her head upon his shoulder. He held her tight* ly, she could not escape. The feeble efforts she bad made to break from him were now abandoned as she thought mora and more noon his words. At last ahe looked up at him and smiled.

Leading fungous Diseases of Frvlt In Certain Sectlone—Nute sre Very ' Concentrated Food—Potato an J Important Food. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The cedar rust or orange mat of the apple, which h&a its alternate generatton on the red cedar, was unusually destructive during the season of 19X2, especially In the Appalachian fruit belt, and resulted In severe losses to apple growers in the autumn of that year. The main facts about this disease have been worked out by investigators and known to science for several years. The remarkable increase of the cedar rust, apparently due to Its new adjustment to the. Mork Imperial and other commercial varieties of cultivated apples which has taken place within the last eight to ten years, has caused this to be the leading fungous disease of this fruit in certain applegrowing sections. Lime-sulphur solution, the standard fungicide for spring treatment of the apple, will kill the fungus* but on account of weather conditions and repeated infection periods during the time of leaf formation, it is difficult and usually impracticable to prevent the disease by spraying. For several years the bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture, has been recommending the destruction of cedars In the vicinity of large commercial orchards which they Injure, as a result of which considerable cedar destruction has been accomplished. The unusually severe outbreak of 1912 and the poor results a t spraying In that season, however, emphasizes the necessity of cedar eradication more than ever before, and the last year this was taken up more actively by the growers, particularly In Virginia and West Virginia, the department and the state experiment station pathologists lendllg their aid and advice to the movement The results of this work proved remarkably satisfactory during the spring infection period of 1913. In the valley of Virginia, where heavy losses were sustained the previous year, orchard after orchard recovered completely in a single season after having the cedars cut down with a radius of one or two miles. In order tO) insure thorough infection and thus make the effect of eradication stand out prominently, cedars were in some eases allowed to stand in the vicinity of certain orchards. Prom the result obtained In the work during the past year, it appears satisfactory to cut the cedars within a radius of 12 miles, even though hillsides were covered with cedars beyond that distance. Nuts ss a Food. The department of agriculture says that nuts are a very concentrated food, even more so than cneese, but when rationally used they are well assimilated and may form a part of a well-balanced diet Nuts are a very valuable source of protoln and these two nutrients being the-characteristic constituents of the more common nuts, of whieh the walnut and ooooannt may' be taken as types. In not*, like the chestnut, carbohydrates are a characteristic constituent For most families it.is undoubtedly wiser to^use nuts as the, regular diet than as! a condiment or supplement to an otherwise hearty meal. Vegetarians and others who use nuts In place of meat should not depend u^on them as the main food supply, but should - supplement them with more butk^^ooas with a low content of protein and fat , As a whole, nuts may be classed amongthe staple foods IMPROVING WITH FERTILIZER and not simply ss food accessories. At usual prices, nuts are reasonable sources of protein and energy. Peanuts supply protein and energy very cheaply, even compared with such Btaple foods as bread and beans. There are a number of nut foods on the market but it may be stated that there 1B little to be gained from the standpoint of food value" or economy in their use in place of the ordinary nuts and home-made nut products, especially by healthy persons who are willing to masticate their food thoroughly and to use nuts in reasonable combinations. Unless something has been added, the nutritive materials in such special preparations can not be greater than the nuts from which they are made, though in the mechanical condition or in some other way the foods may be better fitter for ready assimilation. Furthermore, nut butters, and similar foods give a pleasant variety to the diet, and they are relished by many who would not care for the unprepared nuts. Though less subject to contamination than other foods, nuts should be handled and stored under good conditions, and especially- should be protected from dampness and insect enemies. The Role of Potatoes in the National Dietary. The potato stands next to the cereals as the most important food of northern nations, according to the department of agriculture. In Germany thiB is particularly true, for the per capita consumption is 7.3 bushels, while ours is estimated at 2.6 bushels? An Interesting study of Behrend shows that the consumption of potatoes in Germany stands in inverse ratio to the wealth and social status of the people. The well-to-do people there use 3.6 bushels each per annum, the peasantry 8.8 bushels, and the laborers in western Germany 12.3 bushels, while in the eastern provinces the per capita consumption of the poorer laborers is 17 bushels each per year. Potato Starch. A certain quantity of potato starch is used in this country for sizing in cotton mills, for which purpose it Is preferred to corn starch, says the department of agriculture. There has been In the country produced an average of 20,000,000 pounds of potato starch annually and large annual importations from Germany have been made in addition. In 1910 there were imported 10,600,200 pounds of starch and 4,424,200 pounds of potato dextrin. The manufacture of starch from potatoes in the United States is at present confined to the utilization of culls and of potatoes unfit for storage or shipment because of partial infection with tuber rot The margin of profit Is not large, in spite of a protective tariff of one cent per pound. The factories are able to run. only six weeks in the year, and the interest and other overhead charges are therefore high. It seems possible to make some economic Improvements in this system by Introducing new factory methods, and the quantity of potatoes used could be increased, especially In districts remote from the markets, where a more rigid sorting should be practiced before shipment and all Inferior potatoes kept at home. This would not only tend to reduce freight charges, but would give the consumes* in a distant market e grade of potatoes which would waste much less in preparation for the table and—for which a relatively higher price could be paid than for the present unsorted shipments. There is a possibility also that a method may be worked out for drying, culled and surplus potatoes on the farm and the dried product later used for starch making. The total quantity required would, nevertheless, not make a large impression on a inr* plus potato crop. / Practical Fashions LADY'S DIVIDED EQUE8TRIAN 8KIRT.

I first noticed Small bunches on my scalp which commenced to itch and I would scratch them and in time they got larger, forming a scale or scab with a little pus, and chunks of hair would come out when I would scratch them off. It caused me to lose most of my hair. It became thin and dry and lifeless. I was troubled for over ten years with It until it got so bad I was ashamed to go to a barber to get my hair cut. "I tried everything I could get hold of, and , but received no cure until I commenced using Cutlcura Soap and Ointment when the scale commenced to disappear. The way I used- the Cuticura Soap and Ointment was to wash my scalp twice a day with warm water and Cuticura Soap and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. 1 received benefit in a couple of weeks and was cured in two months."

Bmniitf 120,000 Soldier^ T was that blazing hot first day of July, 1898. Shatter's little army was tearing its way through the tropic jungle and up the heights toward where lay the Spanish riflemen defending Santiago de Cuba. At what since came to be known as "Moody Bend" in the path of the American advance there was a break in the foliage. Directly in the line of the "pantsh tire it lay. And so thick was lie jungle that the" advancing troops I a.d to cross) this open space. • * * Untrained in warfare, many untrained even in what is now regarded as primary principles of combat, brave but untaught and unprepared as Americans ever have been in the earlier stages of their wars, the new enlisted men from New York and Michigan and Oklahoma and Arizona and all the union met here the supreme test. Scores fell before the enemy's fire. What was needed most was intelligent leadership, and skilled leaders were -woefully few. The sacrifice of life went on, for lack of knowledge to cope with an unexpected military situation. There came on the scene First Lieut. Albert L. Mills, First United States cavalry, holding rank as cap* tain aiid assistant adjutant general of volunteers, and attached to the staff of General Shatter. Four years at West Point and 19 years as a subaltern .officer of cavalry serving In the far- west—hard, studious, working years—united with natural capacity and fitness, had made him a cool, resourceful, skillful, trained military leader. He knew the business of war. At once he began to bring order out of chaos. He showed the men how to take cover. He directed a return fire. The advance, temporarily checked, was resumed. Then a Spanish bullet crashed through his head. It tore away one eye and temporarily blinded the other. But he refused to leave the spot where he was so urgently needed. Sight- Jess, a bloody bandage wound about his brow, he remained and continued his work of directing the troops as they came along. The scene has been perpetuated In picture and in written description. It stands out as one of the moat vivid land splendid incidents of the war of [1898. "For distinguished gallantry in action near Santiago de Cuba, July 1, [1898, in encouraging those near him by his bravery and coolness after beting shot through the head and entirely without sight." That is the notation on the record in the war depart- Intent in explanation of the award of fthe congressional medal of honor to (this ©IBcer.. Was he any more brave than scores land hundreds of others who participated in the operations at Santiago? (PPrroobhaib~l y not, but h*, better than so many others, knew how to do the job fwhich the American forces had set tout to accomplish on that day. It fwas his knowledge, his military skill, Kjuite as much as his coolness and his ^disregard of his own sufferings, that [brought him distinction. t The government at Washington, jthese lessons fresh In its mind, contotaled that the man who had done twhat Mills had done at Bloody Bend [was the sort of man needed to train [future army officers. So, advancing (him to the rank of colonel, the war (department in the autumn of 1898, [when his one remaining eye had healed, sent him to West Point as [superintendent of Ae finest military Academy in the world. There he re* Imalned for eight years. •' In 1904 he was advanced to the {grade of brigadier general. Now; after two years of departmental command in the Philippines and three year* of tithe doty la the department of the )smlf, general Mills la back at his old toecupation of supervtslsg the training K young Americans !h the boainess war. i But It la in a larger field. Instead jdf directing the lnteaaive training of ispreral hundred prcepoctlve officers of ;ti>e regular army he le In charge of •tie federal activities that assist the jfffttSofea] Guards of the various states (fi attaining military prodelane?. Apimately 180,000 NaiSoaal Oeards* are the material With which be working,- It Is a larger force than regular army. flossetbing ingrained in the fiber of [Ikb-speaklag peoples makes them to the maintenance of large tions, the invention of intricate and powerful new engines of war; the need, as revealed by studies and experience of military sanitation; the development of new and swift methods of transportation—all these have changed the character of the soldier's business. He must know more today than he ever knew before. The idea of the soldier as mere "food for powder" long ago became obsolete. A higher training is required. Our little standing army, therefore, is today regarded more as a training school and a model for the larger military force that will be necessary in our next war than as the country's chief land defense dependence. From the citizens must come the big fighting for^ce. In our every war we have sent untrained citizens into the field at the beginning. The resulting loss of life, largely because of the ignorance of how to live under military field conditions, has been shocking. The financial loss in prolongation of the war, in temporary setbacks, in expense of Improvising field armies from nothing, in pension rolls, has been stupendous. Lack of preparedness was the cause. Preparedness, then, Is the aim and purpose of the military authorities of the United States. They are trying, so far as congress and public opinion will permit, to profit by the awful lessons of the past. They are trying to make the regular army a perfect military force- and to make the National Guard, otherwise the organized militia, Just as well trained as any body of citizen soldiers can be trained. Results are being achieved. There has been an organized militia of sorts ever since this became a constitutional republic. The organizing of it ever has been in the hands of the states, however, and the states have had varying ideas of what sort of a military force should be maintained in the guise of organized militia. The war of 1898 showed up the defects of our military system in a glaring fashion. This resulted In the passage of the new militia law of 1903, known as the Dick bill, really organizing the militia force. By this act larger federal assistance was given to the militia of the states and a large r measure- of- Triittary-elficTeTic^y-required of those forces in return for that aid. In 1908 the law was amended and improved. A national militia board, consisting of militia officers appointed by the secretary of war, was authorized to advise with the war department on militia affairs. And also the division of militia affairs in the war department was created to handle the subject • • • It is this division which Brig. Gen. Albert I. Mills now heads. Federal aid is now extended to the organized militia or National Guards of the various states to the extent of about $5,000,000 a year. Of this about $2,500,000 is expended for arms, equipment, camp purposes and maneuvers, about $500,000 for the promotion of rifle practice, something like $600,- 000 for ammunition and more than $1,000,000 for supplies. The result of the new laws has been to bring the National Guard force Into closer and more Intimate relation with the regular army, to make it more uniform in organisation, discipline and equipment and to, establish standards of eflcleacy, ta which all elements are working. General Mills himself, fn his erect carriage, griisled hair, stiff, gray, military^ mustache^ firm jaw and strongly lined mouth, Is the ideal soldier. In speech he is careful and deUberataj In action sure, determined, rapid. ?"A strong character" in the estimate of the observer. It is a correct esti- One known, without theat*dy of his life and habit of thought that demoastratce the correctness of the •i taai.be. ie* a a a a *f high tad atefepii orbed at right aad "Why do we have an organized militia?" was the question put to General Mills one afternoon in his office. "As viewed from the standpoint of the national government, we have an organized militia to take part with the army as the first line of defense in case of any national emergency," replied the general. "To maintain ourselveB," he continued, "until the great mass of volunteers which is certain to be needed to carry on any war with a foreign power can be enlisted, organized, equipped and trained. "The organized militia is to be distinguished from the unorganized militia. The latter embraces the manhood of the country. Since 1792 every male citizen of the United States between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive, who is physically sound, has been a member of the unorganized militia. "The organized militia includes the National Guards of the several states. Its reported strength is 120.000. The law of 1903 makes this a more formidable arm than its prototype ever was before. The war department recognizes it as a potent force which, with proper support by congress, can be made a real national military asset. Only those elements of the National Guard which participate in the federal appropriations and conform in organization, armament and equipment with what is prescribed for the regular army are recognized by the war department as part of the organized militia. This takes in, however, ajmost all the so-called National Guard organizations in the country. "The policy of the war department Is to make the organized militia an efficient force for national military purposes. The department is without authority to increase the strength of the organized militia, it being withiu the province of each state, under the constitution, to determine what sized force it shall have. The purpose of the department is to seek to make effective the Intention of congress, as expressed in existing laws, afid assist the states In so organizing, arming, equipping and training their National Guards that these Independent forces, when needed, can pass, without reorganization, smootftly and easily into the federal service. "The division of militia affairs is the machinery through which the war department exercises its supervision over and discharges its responsibilities to the organized militia. The division 1B one of the four co-ordinate branches of the office of the chief of staff of the army. Its duties are com* prehensive. They fall naturally into two classes. One Is administrative and the other instructional. "Administrative embraces all the details connected with the supervision of disbursements of federal funds, the organization of the National Guard in the various states, and their equipment with arms, ammunition, uniforms and camp equipage generally. "The aim of the instructional efforts Is to assist the states in securing, a trained and efficient field force. Under the constitution the authority for training the militia is in the hands of the states, but It must be of the kind that Is prescribed by congress for the army. "With this in view, there are assigned to each state specially qualified and selected officers to do duty as inspector- inatnetorsi assisting the states In this practical way, and enabling them in the matter of training to keep in touch with the most modern methods pursued In the army. "The result of federal assistance afforded the organised militia is that It has greatly increased the efficiency of the force. Jt is progresstag so well alon#'these lines that, with oonttaued assistance by congress and a recognition of. that assistance by the states, the nation will have a4ep*noable field force, certainly one Infinitely better than any new organisation, filed up with nntraiaed erttsena, could be cute be." GASOLINE IN TH£ KITCHfcN As a Cleanser, Nothing Is Better Than This Material, Though It Must Be Carefuily Handled. A can of gasoline in the kitchen for cleaning purposes will be found a great help if ordinary care is exercised against fire. To clean the gas stove, soak the Jets in a little gasoline, and it will remove all dirt and do away with any odor from the gas range, or scrub the jets with a little bru&h dipped in gasoline. To clean copper or aluminum cooking utensils, soak a cloth in gasoline and rub on the outside of the vessel. This will remove all black or discoloration from the metal. For grease marks Qr dirty spots on woodwork a little gasoline applied with a cloth will remove them at once. If the drain in the sink becomes stopped up, remove all water from the sink and pour in a pint or more of gasoline and let it stand. This will cut the cause of stoppage in a little while. Before blacking a stove or range rub off the top with a cloth wet with gasoline, and it will remove all dirt and grease and make the blacking stay on longer. Be careful to keep all gasoline away from the fire. RECIPES FOR APPLE BUTTER Two Different Methods of Preparing Delicacy That Have Equal Amount of Merit Cook these in the usual way as for apple sauce, but if you have any fresh apple Juice boiled down to a syrup, cook them in it, as it improves the flavor. For six quarts of cooked apples, then take one pint of good cider vinegar and two and one-half pounds of brown sugar. Boil all down to one gallon, and when thick and nearly done season to taste with cinnamon or other spice desired and put up in jars like Jam. It will keep well for any length of time. Another way is tula: Boil new cider down to one-half quantity. Pare, cut and core equal quantities of sweet and sour apples. Put the sweet apples into a large kettle to soften a little first, as they are the hardest. Add enough, boiled cider to cook them In. After boiling half an hour, stirring often, put in the sour apples, and add more boiled cider, with molasses enough to sweeten moderately. Boll until tender, stirring to prevent burning. — Fruit Dainty. Four tablespoonfuls gelatine, one lemon, one large, Juicy orange and one pound granulated sugar. Take two-thirds of cup cold water and soak gelatine five minutes. Mix sugar with two-thirds of cup of cold water, and at the boiling point add the soaked gelatine. Boil 20 minutes, slowly but Bteadily. Add grated rind and juice of the orange and the juice of the lemon—you should have onehalt of a large cup of juice. Wet a tin with cold water and pour In the mixture to the depth of one inch. When firmly set immerse the mold in warm water and turn out. Cut in, cubes and roll in confectioners' sugar, to which you have added a teaspoon* ful of cornstarch. Different fruit juice, coloring and flavor may be used.—Detroit Free Tress.» French Meat Roll. Chop finely two pounds of round steak, add the grated rind of half a lemon, one slightly beaten egg, two tablespoons of malted butter, a level teaspoon of salt, a little pepper, a little chopped parsely, if liked. Shape on a roll and dust it with flour. Place in the baking pan on a piece of thick buttered paper, and baste frequently with a cup of hot water In* which two tablespoons of butter have been melted. This may be served with brown gravy or tomato sauce. Seasoning a Fowl.

Immigration figures show that the; population of Canada increased during 1913, by the addition of 400,000, new settlers from the United States and Europe. Most of these have gone on farms in provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord WlUiam Percy, an English Nobleman, •ays: "The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely! greater than those which exist in England, that it seems absurd to think that peopleJ should be impeded from coming to ther country whsre they can most easily certainly improre their position.

Physicians and Volunteers Work All Night to Release Passengers Pinioned in the Wreckage. Jackson, Mich.—Michigan Central passenger train No. 70. due from Bay City here at 10:05 Sunday night, met head-on three miles north of Jackson a freight train which left here at 8:30. Five persons were killed outright and a Bcore or more injured, some of them fatally. The wreck occurred near the crossing of the M. C. with the Grand Trunk, known as the M. A. L. crossing. Railroad officials state the wreck was probably due to a misunderstanding of train orders. The first news of the wreck came over the phone from a farmer, who was too excited to tell his name to tne police. A special train with doctors was quickly made up and sent to the scene An interurban on the M. U. T. brought in the first load of injured. It was a special sent as relief from Lansing. Many persons-at 1 a. m. were still pinioned in the wreckage and on account of darkness, the work of rescue was very slow. The impact of the collision telescoped the baggage car and a day coach, and all the passengers in (he latter were either killed or injured. Every available ambulance in the city was put in commission, One took Ave to the City hospital, another three and the police, after midnight, assisted in caring for several more.

The allurements of city life were attractive, until they faced the stern reality. These people would have done better had they remained on the farm. Many of them, convinced of this, are now getting "back to the land," and in the experience, no better place offers nor better opportunity afforded, than that existing in Western Canada. Many of them have taken advantage of it, and there are to be found today, hundreds of such, farming in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The conditions that surround farming operations today are BO much superior to those in existence during their early farming days, that there is an attraction about it. Improved machinery, level and open plains, no rocks to shun, no trees to cut down, but wide stretches with* mile-long furrows, elevators to handle the grain, railways to carry it to market, and bring almost to their doors the things necessary to operate. Splendid grazing areas, excellent opportunities for raising cattle. These things are all so different from what they once were that there is reason to speak of the attractions. R. H. Crossman of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, the man who won such splendid prizes at the International Dry Farming Congress held at Tulsa, Oklahoma, last fall, grew the prize grains during his first year farming. Up to 1913 he was an engineer and the only knowledge he had of farming was that obtained when he was a boy. That was very useful; in fact it was valuable to him. He had not forgotten it. Thousands with as little experierice as he had can do well by taking up one of the 160-acre grants offered by the Canadian government. — Advertisement.

Round about Shlraz, as far as Ispahan, southward to the country of the date palm, a great deal of opium is grown, and several thousand chests are shipped from Shlraz to China and various other large centers of the trade every season. The collecting of the opium juice begins in June, when* the flowers having faded and the leaves fallen, the poppy heads are ready to be bled. When the sun stands low on the western horizon the men with the tools start their work, making one or two Incisions ID the fleshy green skin of the heads on the side toward the setting sun. During the cool night hours the brown, strong smelling viscous Juice oozes out and collects in pearl-like drops on the surface of the seed vessel. Before the rising sun gains sufficient power to dry or crystallize the sticky substance the gathering is In full rwing. Stepping carefully from plant to plant, the men gather the opium on the broad blades of their crescent shaped collecting knives, which have an upturned back about an inch high to prevent the juice from dropping off. As soon as a knife is full it is handed to the owner of the field or his foreman, who stnnds among the collectors to see that none of the precious drops are hidden away by the workers to Increase their daily wages. As soon as the morning work is over the fields are deserted until the afternoon, when new incisions have to be made. Each plant is tapped twice, and a large poppy head gives from twenty to thirty grains of opium.—Christian Herald. LOOKS LIKE A SEA OF ICE. lllfimlHUHH S P E C I JBk.

BARNARD It's a Pleasure and "action Bake with Curious Lake of 8oda to the Wltds of East Africa. Lake Magadi, in British East Africa, is famous for its vast deposits of soda. Until recently few people have^ seen its shores, for it lies in the midst of a barren and waterless district, but the railway that was started a few years ago by an English company opens the way for travelers to this curious natural phenomenon. A recent visitor describes it in the London Field: Ordinarily it looks as If it had frozen and as if snow had then fallen upon it, partially thawed and frozen again The temperature gives the lie to this appearance of roughened ice, for the heat is extreme and at midday almost unbearable. The,.soda burns the feet even through a boot, and the sharp, projecting spikes, which resemble hoar frost, will pierce any except the thickest sole. After the rains there is a layer of water over the greater part of the lake, which turns a lovely pink color. By moonlight the scene is weirdly beautiful. The lake contains atvl&st 200,000,000 tons of crystalline substance, composed almost equally of carbonate and bicarbonate of soda. Surface and under ground streams of saturated soda liq uor continually feed It. The present supply of soda is enormous, and as fast as it is removed a new surface, formed from the "mother liquid" beneath, replaces it. Natives have col iected soda from the same spot year after year without making the slightest difference in the abundance of the supply.

Washington, Jan. 2f—The program laid down by the president in his recent message to congress was embodied in the administration's trust bills presented to congress. The bills have received the approval of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic leaders of both houses of congresB. With little modification they will be enacted into law. Their purposes are: 1. Definition of unlawful monopoly or restraints of trade. S. Prohibition of unfair trade practice. 3. Creation of an interstate trade commission. 4. Regulation of corporation didectorates and prohibition of interlocking directorates. Unlawful Monopoly Defined. Unlawful monopoly is defined BB ation or agreement Derations, firms, or persons for the following purposes: $. T5fr create or carry out restrictions in tratte or to acquire a monopoly in any interstate trade, business, or commerce. 2. To limit or reduce the production or increase the price of merchandise or of any commodity. 3. To prevent competition in manufacturing, making, transporting, selling, or purchasing of merchandise, produce, or any commodity. 4. To make any agreement, enten into any arrangement, or arrive at any understanding by which they, directly or indirectly, undertake to prevent a free and unrestricted competition among themselves or among any purchasers or consumers in the sale, production, or transportation of any product, article, or commodity. The penalty for violation of the law is fixed at not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for one year or both. Guilt is made personal through a section that whenever a corporation shall be guilty of the violation of the law the offense shall be deemed to cover the individual directors, officers, and agents of such corporation, as authorizing, ordering, or doing the prohibited acts, and they shall be punished as prescribed above. A paragraph prohibiting holding companies is to be added to this measure. Covers Unfair Trade Practices. The bill forbidding unfair trade practices declares that to discriminate in price, between different purchasers of commodities, with the purpose or intent to injure or destroy a competitor; either of the purchaser or of the seller, shall be deemed an attempt to monopolize interstate commerce. It is specifically declared that the law Is not intended to prevent discrimination in price between purchasers of commodities "on account of difference in the grade, quality, or quantity of the commodity sold, or that makes only due allowance fbr difference in the cost of transportation." Further, it is prescribed that noih-_ ing con^aTaed intheact shall prevent per80¾8 from selecting their own customers, "but this provision shall not authorize the owner or operator of any mine engaged in selling its product in interstate or foreign commerce to refuse arbitrarily to sell the same to a responsible person, ilrm, or corporation, who applies to purchase." An attempt at monopoly also is declared to exist for any person to make a sale of goods, wares, or merchandise or fix a .price charged therefor, or discount from or rebate upon such prfte, on the condition or understanding that the purchaser thereof shall not deal In the poods, wares, or merchandise of a competitor or competitors of the seller. Dealt W i t h Damage Suits. A Judgment against any defendant in a suit brought under the anti-trust law the bill provides shall constitute as against such defendant conclusive evidence of the same facts and be conclusive as to the same issues of law. in favor of any other party In any other proceeding brought under and involving the provisions of the law. For the benefit of parties Injured In their business or property, by any per- •onjor corporation found guilty of vioV latin* the law the statute of limltatk> njr*ppUcabIe to such cases shall be Injunctive relief is accorded against threatened lots or damage by a violation of Oe act under the sa^e conditions and principles that Injunctive relief against threatened conduct which wijs- cauae toes *>r damage Is granted iyti/Wtii* •Wit* > .WUfcqf ttyt a prpper bond gfeffll be>e*ecuted against damages for an li^gCtktt'iunwo^Mwut^y* granted, «B4 it mujt be shown that the danger . (;;• of irreparable loss or damage is immediate. Hits Interlocking Directorates. Concerning directorates, the bill on that subject, which is to become effective two years from date of* approval of the act, provides:. "No person engaged as an Individ ual or as a member of a partnership or as a director or other officer of a corporation in the business of selling railroad cars or locomotives, or railroad rails or structural steel, or mining or selling coal, or conducting a bank or trust company, shall act as '•'• director or other officer or employe of any railroad or other public service corporation which conducts an interstate business. "No person shall at the same time be a director or other officer or employe in two or more federal reserve banks, national banks, or banking associations, or other banks or trust companies which are members of any reserve bank; and a private banker and a person who is a director in any state bank or trust company not operating under the provisions of the recent currency law shall not be eligible to Berve as a director in any bank or banking association or trust company operating under the provisions of the law." Violation of these sections is made punishable by a fine of $100 a day, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. If any two or more corporations have common director or directors, the fact shall be conclusive evidence that there exists a real competition between such corporation and such elimination of competition shall be construed as a restraint of interstate trade and be treated accordingly. The trade commission bill provides for commission of five members, with the commissioner of corporations as chairman, and transfers all the existing powers of the bureau of corporations to the commission. The principal and most Important duty the commission besides conducting investigations will be to aid the, courts when requested in the formation of decrees of dissolution. With this in, view, the bill empowers he court to refer any part of pending litigation to the commission, including the proposed decree, for information and advice. Much Criticism for Bills. The trust bills as framed will be the subject of sharp criticism on the part of progressives of all parties who claim they do not go far, enough. It will be declared that the definition of monopoly remains inadequate that the prohibition of unfair ts?ade practice does not. cover this evil in our economic life that interlocking stock control is not covered and that the powers of the proposed trade commission are insufficient. It is • interesting to note that the proposal to place the burden of proof upon a combination believed to be violating the law has been omitted. No attemplJs_ nmde_tcHpr-evettt Jackson—Passengers on a Michigan Central train bound for Chicago told thrilling stories and congratulated themselves on the small amount of money and jewels obtained by a lone bandit who held up the train four miles out of Jackson. The train, crowded with wealthy business men, was at the mercy of the highwaymen for 15 minutes between 1:30 and 1:45 a. m. The porter, Thomas Merritt, was forced at the piont of a pistol to waken the passengers and ask them for their valuables, while the bandit supported his requests with the revolver. The bandit had robbed half a dozen men, getting about $700, when Lloyd Tombs, another porter who had been (•imprisoned, escaped and saved the remainder of the passengers from being held up by pulling the bell cord and setting the emergency brakes. The train was stopped and the robber fled. OT-deHtroyflron monopoly based on patents. The greatest difficulty experienced in the effect* ive enforcement of the law has been found to be in the unwillingness'Of the courts to impose jail penalty. It remains* optional under the proposed measures wiht the courts to fine or Imprison. Trade Board May Disappoint. In connection with the trade commission President Wilson declared in his message that the country "demands suck a commission only as an Indispensable instrument of information and publicity as a clearing house for this facts by which both the public mind and the managers of great business undertakings should be guided." The bill prescribes that the commission acts are to constitute a "public record". but the body is authorized to make public the information "in such form and to such extent as may be necessary" or "by direction of the attorney general." Settlement of Differences, The most important feature of the bill lr that which legalises the policy of the administration of terminating an unlawful condition by agreement between the combination attached and the attorney general. This feature ft comprehended under a section which requires the commission, upon the request of the attorney general or any corporation affected, to- investigate whether * combination is violating the law. In case the commission should find the violation to exist it i must report to the attorney general a statement of the oWectionabie acts and transactions and the readjttstmente neceesery for the of fending combtofttios to>" ooafonsv.t*. the law.

Lansing, Mich.—The annual report of State Game and Forestry Warden William R. Oates, sent to Gov. Ferris recently, shows the annual loss in the state occasioned by forest fires has dropped from $3,400,000 in 1911 to less than $23,000 in* 1913, which is less than half what it was in 1912, when a reduction had been made to $67,000. For years the annual fire loss in Michigan forests had averaged more than a million dollars each year. The report shows that the past year was one of unprecedented drouth and Oates Bays that the cause of the remarkable reduction in fire loss must be assigned to working agencies rather than conditions. He says the* department cannot allege more than nominal credit in all fairness in the decrease of forest fires, but submits that the curbing, suppression and prevention of forest fires and the reduced loss is due to a systematic and thorough organization of the township supervisors of the forest district, who act as local fire wardens and the aid of the educational posters and literature on the suppression of forest fires, which are placed through the various forest districts by the township committees.

VERDIER LAW IS UPHELD Supreme Court Approves Measure which Makes Municipal Ownership of Utilities Possible. Great Michigan Athlete Dead. Detroit, Mfch.—Neil W. Snow, the greatest all-around athlete who ever represented the University of Michigan jm_dJaj3pndJL on J:rack-or-on-gridi, died Thursday in the office of Dr. C. G. Jennings. He. was taken in the twinkling of an eye, Just as he had turned to the desk telephone in the physician's office to notify his wife that he would be a little late for dinner. It is generally believed that Mr. Snow died from what is known as an athletic heart, that he. was the victfm of too fine training in his earlier day. He graduated from Ann Arbor in 1899 and was in his thirty fourth year. Lansing, Mich.—The Verdier home" rule bill was sustained in every particular by the supreme court Friday. The judges differ in some minor details of reasoning. Some give a broader construction to the law than others, but at least five of the judged go farther in declaring the bill valid | than did the Wayne circuit court. The majority opinion of the su- ! preme court, written by Justioe Moore I and concurred in on this point by Jus- I tices Steere, Stone, Ostrander and Bird, declares that the city has 2 per cent of its assessed valuation clear ot all other debts for purchase of a public utility. The statutory limitation on the debt of cities is 8 per cent. Judge Moore declares that, under the Verdier law, if a city's bonding limit is already 8 per cent for general purchases, it can go to 10 per cent for purchase of a specific utility, These five judges sustain the bill in every other particular also. The practical result of this decision is to give Detroit an unquestioned total of nearly $10,000,000 money to be raised by general bond issue, to make the initial payment in purchase of a street railway. Among other things the law provides that amendments to a city charter may be voted on one at a time.

Kope and Disappointment. Lieutenant Thomas Holton, com* mander of the Scorpion, made as though to place the dispatch in his pocket, then, taking pity upon his "second," who was all eyes, he turned the paper over to his Junior lieutenant, known throughout the flotilla as "Bobby" Frost. "You will leave Newport News at ten o'clock tonight with the destroyer Scorpion and proceed south to the parent ship of the First Torpedo Boat Flotilla off Key, West, prepared for action ." Thia order was warmly welcomed by Holton and by his second in command of the grim, lead-colored Scorpion. "It looks like business, doesn't it?" observed Frost, with tentative inflection in his voice. "It does, sure," chuckled Holton. "I'm glad we had those baffle-plates fixed In the boiler. I suppose we might as well have the warheads fixed on the torpedoes, too. The orders say 'prepare for action.' Attend to it, wilt you, Frost?" "Aye, aye, air," and Frost hurried along the grimy, oily deck to the after companionway. The somewhat Informal nature of the dialogue between the two will be forgiven by the fastidious when It is pointed out that for a month the Scorpion had been laying at Newport News on detached duty of a confidential nature under direct orders from Washington, and that Holton's sole companion aboard ship in that time had been bis young second. But the period of loneliness was evidently to end in a burst of glory and Lieutenant Holton was truly thankful. In the preceding month the mighty battle-ship Maine had wallowed down into the slimy ooze of Havana Harbor, a great hole torn in her forward compartments. In her lay one of Holton's Vest friends, a shipmate of pleasant days following graduation at the Naval Academy. The cry, "Remember the Maine," was sounding from Maine Itself to California. The entire country was on the qui vive. Osgood, the Hero of many an American football gridiron, had, as a Cuban volunteer, given up his life at the side of a mar chine gun; Frederick Funstonhad served valiantly against the tyrants of Caatile and Aragon, and other Americans hsM given evidence that the fighting spirit was by no meanB dormant in tne heart of a nation of "pigs and tradesmen." With the situation thus, there was l^tle cause for wonder at Lieutenant emotions of mental exaltatfeo. Whatever the future might hold for him, at least this seemed certain: tlere would be action, and that is something for which your true gentleman of the service is ever on the watch. Something of the mood of the two young officers was communicated to the crew. There were broad grins on all the men's faces as they hurried about the performance of the various tasks, and many of them did not forbear to turn inquiring faces toward their officers whenever occasion offered— which expressions, naturally their officers "failed" to see. At sunset everything was In readiness, and with a sigh of relief Holton stretched himself on the narrow seat running along the mess-room and lovingly filled his pipe. Frost did likewise afld then looked over at his superior. , "By George!" he cried, "think of having the opportunity of putting into practice att the things we're learned!" "It won't be bad fun at all," replied Holton. Frost was about to utter another thought when the doorway was darkened by the figure of a messenger. "A telegram for Lieutenant Hotton,** he said, saluting. Holton took it hastily and ran over the contents. His face clouded and he reed it again. A. good strong-word was trembling on his lips, and he was about to crumple the dispatch In his hand when his eye fell on the meeeenger standing st attentlom. "Oh, thank yon," he said; "there is no answer. As the meeeenger departed H61ton handed the telegram t§ his seeond without a wereV T o * will pressed at oooe to Wash* sagta* and resort to too at the possible moment. Lieutenant Frost will assume command of Scorpion in your absence. ROOSEVELT." As Frost read the message aloud bis voice quivered with excitement. "What does that mean?" he exclaimed. "Hanged if I know," growled Holton. "Isn't that just my luck! I've been working on this old pot trying to get her into shape and hoping and praying for a chance to make good, and then when there appears to be something doing, why I get skinned this way." Frost knew exactly how the commender felt, and his natural exultation at being placed in command of the destroyer was quite swallowed up in his sympathy for a man who was his good friend as well as his superior officer. Holton sat for a while blowing blue clouds of smoke to the ceiling, outwardly calm, but Inwardly seething. He went over every act in the past month or so, but could think of nothing he had done that would warrant his recall in disgrace. "Well, .Bobby," he said at length, "you're a real live captain now. And I congratulate you." "I feel like a man who is going to put on a pair of boots that are too big for him," remarked Frost. "Oh, nonsense!" smiled Holton. "You're in every way qualified. I'll vouch for you, Bobby." Frost smiled. "Thanks," he said; "I'd rather have that from you than from almost anyone I know." "Well," laughed Holton, "take it then; it's sincere. He arose and called to the steward. "Oh, you, Koko," he said, "come in here and help me pack. I'm going to leave you for a while." Dinner that evening was rather a mournful affair, neither Holton nor Frost trying to make light of the mysterious situation. He shook hands with Frost at eight o'clock, and with Koko carrying his bag, started for the station. He had delayed rather longer than he should have done in writing supplementary letters to his parents, and now he found it was necessary to make haste if he was to catch the train for Washington. Eventually, indeed, he and Koko had to run, and as he reached the station the cars were pulling out The Jap threw the bag into the open doors of the rear one and Holton made the steps with a flying leap. As he did so a man who had been following the two essayed a similar flight, but his feet missed the steps and he clung to the gilded rail with his left hand. _ As Holton reached down to assist him the man lost his grip and went plunging head over heels into the gravel. Evidently his fall did not injure him, for as Holton peered hack along the rails he saw the fellow rise slowly and shake his fist at the departing train. If he had known the circumstances under which he was to meet this stranger at a time not far distant, bis feeling of relief when he saw that the man was not seriously Injured might have been tinctured by emotions of various sorts. . Having put up at the Metropolitan club, Holton passed such time as had to elapse before the assistant secretary would be at his desk In the Navy Department building in a fever of impatience. Having at length finished his cigar and his morning paper—which bristled with bellicose matter—Holton put on his hat and overcoat and sauntered slowly toward the Capitol. At ten o'clock he went over to the Navy 'Department and sent his card in to the assistant secretary. Presently his summons came while yet another man was engaged In the Inner office. . This man; however, brushed out past Holton as the young officer, with mingled emotion, walked Into the presence* of Secretary Long's assists/nt. "Good morning, Mr. Holton." Certainly no evil augury was to be detected in the hearty oadenoe of the greeting. MSK down, sir. I'm glad you were so prompt That's what we need in these days.1* "Thank you, sir,** said Holton du- Wonsiy. I Hs»~ sstlotast sscretary observed himtoocarforantoawnvsadthesu*- perenty sesHfisjl with his scrutiny, he arose and paced up and down the length of his office. "By George, Mr. Holton!" he said, "when you realize that war is coming —coming as sure as guns, and then consider our unpreparedness for it—it makes you glad it's Spain and not someone else." "I think the navy's pretty fit, sir," ventured Holton. "Ah, the navy! And the army!" The words came out like bullets. "The navy is all right, and the army, too, what there is of it. The fighting men of both arms of the service are the best this world ever saw: getting things started, that is the trouble. Well, thank Heaven, Dewey's—" the assistant secretary Btopped short, and craning his neck forward, characteristically thrust his square jaw close to the officer's face. We've all got to do the best we can and be sure that when the blow comes it will come from, and not toward us." Holton nodded slightly. "I liked your action in diving overboard and rescuing two of your men last summer," resumed Mr. Roosevelt. "And I may say that a Btudy of your record has convinced me that Just at present a little respite from duties qboard the Scorpion will accrue to our mutual advantage." The assistant secretary paused, and then as Holton made no reply, he continued : "We are not yet at war with Spain— not yet, and in the meantime I think it will be just as well for you to remain in fairly close touch with my of- Ave—personal touch. By the way, there's a ball at the Wlllard tonight—" "A ball!" exclaimed Holton. Then he caught himself. "Yes, sir," he added. "Yes, a ball at the Willard. Here is a card—you'll note It is a personal invitation to you." Holton glanced at It. "I see It, sir." He hesitated. "I am —merely, merely to go there and dance? I mean—mean, sir, are there any instructions?" "I should keep my eyes and ears open if I were you." "YeB, sir, I'll do that, and I hope I'll be able to be of some service," he was rising to go. "Although—although I'm afraid I lack—that is, and—" Holton paused and glanced Irresolutely at his chief. "That you lack definite information," said the assistant secretary, who seem- "That Man Especially is Worth Watching." ed to hays the faculty of reading his thoughts and expressing them before Holton himself could frame them In suitable, or, we'll say, diplomatic terms. "Why, yes, sir—I. have a feeling; that the situation Is indefinite." "Yes. Bit down, Mr. Holton." Holton resumed his chair and his chief leaned forward, talking; rapidly hi a low tone. "Here is the nub of the situation," he began. "In the first place we- have reason, excellent reasons, for suspecting that there are oertaln elements among the Cubans, both In the United States and In Havana, that are strongly inclined to doubt the good faith of the United States is this brewing tree- Me wjih 8pein."

"Naturally," continued Mr, Roosevelt," the Cubans are eager to avail themselves of our armed forces afloat and ashore, but after the work is all done they want us to clear out. Which, of course, we shall do, having first established some decent and Btable system of government down there." "I had not any idea our good faith was in question," observed Holton. "It is," was the reply, "and it is taking the form of preparations for an attack upon our troops by Cuban forces after we have cleaned the Spaniards out of the island." "What a chance!" exclaimed Holton, with patriotic fervor. The assistant secretary smiled. "I myself regard the project as crack-brained in its conception, but nevertheless it exists and muBt be met We must learn their plans at all hazards, and I can tell you now that while we have a general idea as to the situation, it is little more than general, and details of a specific nature would be very welcome. 1 want you to see^what you can do. Your record is that of a clear-headed man of initiative and common sense. You speak Spanish, you are equally at home in a ballroom or in roughing it. You're the man we want." "Thank you, Blr." "I have been extremely confidential," resumed the assistant secretary, "as naturally It was necessary I should be. Any further information I receive from the Secret Service will be transmitted to you, and in turn I shall expect you to keep us in touch with matters as you develop them. Now then, at the ball tonight you are to become acquainted with the following if you can locate them." He handed Holtoa several sheets of typewritten matter, headed by halftone photographs. "That man especially Is worth watching," continued Holton's chief, pointing to the portrait of a well-appearing Cuban, apparently about fifty years old, "and this girl also." "I understand," said Helton. I hare a good Idea of what you want, I think* Mr. Secretary, and I hope I don't have to tell you that I shall leave nothing undone to carry out your wishes." "You don't," was the smilling reply. "It is rather new ground, but it will be interesting work, and will give me a chance to see action, perhaps, before the rest of the crowd." "The assistant secretary smiled. "Thinking of the Scorpion, eh," he laughed. "Well, I'll wafer a new suit of clothes against an apple that you'll soon have so much to occupy your mind that your destroyer will be nothing but a hazy memory." "I'll try to make It so, at all events," laughed Holton. "Good morning, sir." "Good morning. You may report here until further orders every day at this hour." "Yes, sir." Holton turned and left the office. The assistant secretary wheeled around in his swivel-chair and thought deeply for a moment. Then he picked up a paper. "By George!" he murmured, "that young chap is in for a bully time." Meantime Holton walked cheerily to his club, and there met several brother officers who were keen for billiards. So the remainder of the day was spent at this diversion. He had a table at the Willard for dinner, whence he Intended to proceed to the dance. He dressed with great care, and at the last thrust into his hip pocket an article not usually regarded in polite society as a complement of evening attire—a short, thick, very serviceable-appearing revolver. / (TO BE CONTINUED.) * Explanation of Potlatch.

Laugh Away the Clouds. Mistakes are to be laughed at. If one were to take seriously every little mistake he made life would become a burden to him. Laugh at your own little mistakes, and do not feel grieved if others laugh at them. Laughing wilt help you remember to avoid them another time quite as well as giving away to serious regrets. Some people are forever taking themselves to task for some shortcoming. They are the over-conscientious ones. If we act foolishly on the impulse of a moment, it is no more fair to punish ourselves than to punish a child tor a little mistake. It is right to look for the error and acknowledge it. If one * has wronged another, he ought to confess it and be more careful; then put it out of mind. To grow morose and solemn is to commit a second fault. No one Is doing any good to himself or others by constantly eating the bread of penitence. The only time to remember a mistake is when one is tempted again to the same fault. Daily and hourly keeping up self-reproach, one is worn out. This does not mean never to listen to the warnings of conscience, but to see the fault, start afresh and keep cheerful__snd_ honefuL FRIENDLY TIP.

That Is Why, It It 8aid, Stook Broktrj Fight Shy of Them. Nobody loves a stock broker, least of all his customers. This affords a touching, if somewhat subtle, reason why he does not want any women •peculators on his books. There is another reason, I hate to mention it, but yon wring it from me. Women are not good losers. At times, under stress of great speculative losses, I am told they become lachrymose. The one stock broker of my acquaintance who catered to women speculators is now in a madhouse. They were all long of Steel at 50 the time it broke to 8, and all the water squeezed out of it in that decline was wept back Into It by these women. It was an economic disaster. Stock brokers carry home with them all the troubles of tbeir customers, and this poor fellow was no exception. He used to lie awake all night picking a t the counterpane and grieving over beauty in distress. Finally be went crazy. They have given him a set of stock broker's books up there in the a»yrumr and it would break your heart to see him. Jeanne d'Arc and Harriet Beecher Stowe are, long of Copper; Catherine de Medici and Mrs. Browning are short of Rubber: Maria Theresa and George Eliot are pyramiding in Steel.

Dunglow, County Donegal, Ireland.— This is the old haunt—the habitat— of the "gombeen man." He Is our American city "loan shark" transplanted with all his blood-sucking propensities and his starvation inducing qualities into rural Ireland- Here conditions are right for his activities. Where the need for money is greatest he prospers best. The poorer the country, the richer he grows. And poor enough this country certainly Is. Wide, low-lying peat bogs stretch between great slopes of rising hillsides where the soil shows only between masses of outcropping rock* No fields are there here large enough to offer opportunity for work with horses even If plowing and cultivating were not made impossible by the huge halfburied rocks. Every enclosure de> mauds fertilizers as a condition precedent to. production. Nature Is stingy and hesitates to let go of any product of value to humans. Yet here and there is a cottage upon a barren hillside; around it we see children that are not starving nor Insufficiently clothed. "Gombeen Man" Pasting. Here was the haunt of the gombeen man. But aa relative prosperity comes in he goea out They tell us that cooperation has numbered the days of the gombeen man and that he is passing. As he formerly operated his business here he was the worst enemy to rural prosperity to be found upon the Island. "The gombeen man is worse than the non-resident landlord," «ays Paddy Gallagher of Dunglow, which Is an extreme statement when made by one whose father and family have suffered cruelly from many evictions. Seldom was the gombeen man admittedly in the loan business. Frequently he was a trader or shop keeper. Generally he kept a public house. Often he was a dominating influence politically, and held some office. Invariably he was an economic scourge and made rural prosperity impossible. We have spoken of him in the past tense, not because he has altogether oeased to exist but because co-operation seems to be developing a plan for rural credit which will eventually put him out of business. Patrick Gallagher's Story, Patrick Gallagher, now the manager of the local co-operative society, probably knows as much about the trials of the poor farmer in Ireland as any one. He was born in a little oneroom farm cottage and was at nine years of age forced to leave home and hire himself out as a farm laborer r* reiving the wage of three pounds for fahc .months' work. From these beginnings lie has risen to be a rural financier In Oounty Donegal and has raised the condttioTi of ^he poor farmers froav abject poverty to comparative comfort through his co-operative enterprises. Hero is what Paddy Gallagher says of the gombeen men, speaking from his personal experiences and verifying much that he says from documents .and account books: "Here M one transaction of my own with the gombeen man. On the 28th of Mat, 1906; my father and I bought seven stone of flour and one hundred weight of Indian meal, each. My father paid for his 14,25. I was not In * position to par for mine until the 11th of July, 1906, forty-four days 'later. The gombeen man cthen presented me with a bU! for $5.31. I disunited his right to charge me $1.06 interest on $4.25 for only forty-four days aand pointed out to him that my father bought the same goods on the same 4ate for $4.25, The gombeen man argued that my father paid $4.50 and that ha was only charging me eighty* -one bents extra, or 144 per cent interest per annum. During the twenty years my father was bringing np his family, he paid interest at this rate. "'Here is a writ that was issued -against a poor fanner. The amount is $9f?Tt, and here is the pass book which proves that $18.25 of that is interest Ton will also note that the sjomteen man charges this customer •2.37 for seven stone of floor; on the same date the co-operative society's pries *a» IMS." So the gombeen man was robbing i every saey as be tried to roe Paddy \0*H*fHer and his friends. \ Aft OM*6an's Meryv The etory that we get in Denglow taUSe% wtaH the account which Sir Horace Pfeskstt and his-oak leagmee.m Dabttn gave us of the sites* titty Bat aa jojonttfla tarestlgssora ----- •-••'^^f0^10.maiC^ Bat*. ••'V'^V'f'v • * > i. / . rial from original sources as possible. So on Sunday afternoon "it is us" for a, jaunting car and a ride into the country in search of fundamental facts. We hear of a patriarchal citizen five miles out who they say is as honest as the day is long. We find Donald O'Boyle (otherwise 8hane O'ge) in a habitation which from outward appearances hardly merits the name of cottage. But when warm hearted Irish hospitality invites us inside we find a neat, clean, comfortable place, that is Indeed home to the family which has been for generations the tenants of a line of nonevicting landlords. Shane O'ge, with his son, his daughter-in-law, and some shy, blue-eyed little grandchildren, welcomes us warmly. The mother is feeding the children mashed potatoes and milk from a bowl (about all many Irish children get to eat). To them this Is much more interesting than a discussion of the gombeen man. Yes, he and his father knew well the gombeen man. "We'd buy of the trader but we'd not know the price at all," he said. "It would do us no good. We'd have to pay in the end what he'd ask us anyway when he had the money. It was hard to get it round here—we mostly had to go over and work In the Scottish harvests to get any at all. When we had the money we would ask what we owed and the trader would tell us what It was. We never knew what the items were. We never dared to ask. He would say, 'How dare you dispute my books?' And it's more than one poor man I've seen kicked out for asking a civil question. But everybody says they charged the highest price the stuff had been from the time it was bought until we paid for It and I guess that's the truth, and of course the added Interest, though I don't know how much. And so of course, we paid what they asked—and enough it was— though we never knew much about ft They let us get meal or anything else on credit without money for they knew it meant more to them in a high price besides interest Things are different now; they're a lot better." Co-operative Credit Conquering. Things are different in Ireland now. The farmers themselves are driving out the gombeen man. Co-operative credit associations have changed all this. As that eminent Irishman, Sir Horace Plunkett, says in his book on Ireland in the New Century: "To* exact purpose of these organisations is to create credit as a means of introducing capital into the agricultural industry. They perform the apparent miracle of giving solvency to a community composed almost entirely of insolvent individuals." Paddy Gallagher in telling as how the association operates here at Donglow, says: "A credit society in Dunglow was organized and established in October, 1903, by the Irish Agricultural Organization society and has been regularly audited and inspected by that body ever since. Although we had at first only £220 of working capital, we have now a reserve of £26, 16s. The members are equally responsible for the success or failure of the society. Each man lias one vote no matter how much or how little his investment in the concern ii. They take such keen interest, in it that during its nine years working there has not been an over due loan at the end of the year. The society if undoubtedly of great assistance to the people In the district We want the time to come when every man can walk up the street in Dunglow and say he owes nothing." Capitalising Character. These cooperative banks have, as it were, capitalised character. The early organisers of co-operative credit association* held, and experience has confirmed the opinion, that In the poorest communities there is .a per* feetly safe basis of security la the honesty and industry of its members. This security is not valnasie in the ordinary, commercial sense. The or* dinary banker has no intimate knowledge of the character of those who apply tot a loan. Neither has he any way of testing whether or net those who borrow "for productive purposes" actually apply the-loan to such parposes. The borrower most brtns; tare sureties, who like the bmwwor hlnv salt mutt be men of approved character tad capacity. The dsaraoter of these three men U tfce.soto^bssis^el credit. # The rirfse proves. Swd3a* is .the characteristic feature of the jjhat a loan shall be made for a "productive purpose" only. That is, the borrowed money must be used for a purpose which, In the Judgment of the committee, will enable the borrower to repay the loan out of the results of the use made of the money. The farmer buys a sow to raise pigs; he must have fertilisers; he needs some high-grade seeds; hs wants to build better shelter for his cow—all these are productive purposes. In one case money to send the borrower's boy to school tor eight months so at to increase his earning capacity was considered a productive purpose Justifying a loan, as it proved to be when the boy himself repaid the loan. The rules of the co-operative society provide for the expulsion of a member who does not apply the money to the agreed purpose. It is said, however, to the credit of the Irish members of these societies, that there has never been the necessity of putting this rule in force In a single instance anywhere throughout the entire island. Social and moral influences seem to be quite sufficient to secure obedience to the rules and regulations of the society. Co-operative Credit Is Good. There are other advantages. The regular bank Is generally miles away, It costs money for the borrower to go and take his sureties, paying car fare, meals and maybe drinks, while the cooperative association is right at hand. The bank will loan for only 90 days, while the co-operative society will make it up to a year. And a 90-day loan gives tbe fa'rmer no chance to realize on seed or fertilizer or stock bought with the money borrowed. But here in the local credit bank If a man Is honest he can get the loan he needs. He must bring two sureties, but cooperation'breeds and develops neighborly helpfulness and they say no honest man ever falls because he can get no sureties. - Neither the association nor its members have any considerable capital When they organise they begin by borrowing' a sum of money on the Joint and several liability of the members. Deposits are received from both members and non-members. The society usually borrows at fonr or five per cent and lends at five or six per cent In some cases government funds have been loaned to them at three per cent, thus enabling them to make a very low loan to their members. The expense of administration is almost nothing. Lesson for Rural America. It is such societies as these that are putting the gombeen men out of business in Ireland. We have in rural America gombeen men. They are not so called, but American loan sharks and credit men are first cousins to the Irish gombeen men. The question we Americans are trying to answer Is this: Have Irish rural credit methods a lesson for the rural sections fn our own land? Can our loan shark, whether In city or country, be fought and conquered by similar American co-operative societies? There are hundreds of poor fanners who must ask credit either of merchants and dealers or must secure loans from some source. Most of them get credit of the local merchant. It is, of course, well recognised that any dealer who extends credit not only charges interest but charges a higher price than when he gets cash payment Why cannot the American farmer get a loan at a nearby banking Institution for six months or ten months or a year instead of for 96 days? Why cannot b e *»f»t**H«ft hts rharantar JiA _ does the Irishman? In some states there are under existing laws plenty of small Joint stock banks throughout tbe smaller towns and villages which are accessible. The directors and officers .know the -farmer's needs. They are so intimately acquainted with those who might become borrowers that they could do as the Irish credit banks do and arrange for capitalising character. But they don't do It (Cesyrifht. 1114, Wtstenr'Newspaper Union.) Fast Traveling 100 Years Ago. One hundred years ago the citizens of Philadelphia, New York, Boston and intervening points were acclaiming the progress of the times, with particular reference to the speed with which President Madison's message to congress had been carried to the varies* states. Tbe meesage was delivered on December 7^and by December IS its contents werejtnqwn to persons living as far distant as Vermont Under the caption of "Swift Traveling* a newspaper of the time commented as follow!: "The express-who brought the president's message to this city ,left Washington 30 minutes aftsr the noon hour—left Baltimore 48 minutes after 2 p. m.~arrived Philadelphia ten minutes before midnight Thus, it will be seen,-that from Washington to Philadelphia, a distanos of 15c miles, he traveled at the rate of more than 11½ miles an hour, which, considering the badness of the roads, Is, perhaps, equal to anything ever performed In this country." — Badly Expressed.

W1 'IHEN Abraham Lincoln was a small boy, says St. Nicholas, he had very few ^ ^ ^ ^ hooka. There was no need . for him to consult a list of the hundred best books. His earliest possessions contested of leas than balf a dozen volume*—a pioneer's library. First, of course, was the bible, a whole library in itself, If Koperly understood, and containing every sort of literature—stories, poems, dramas, addresses, orations, histories, some simple enough for the youngest child, others taxing- the wisdom of the learned. Second was "Pilgrim!* Progress," with its quaint characters and vivid scenes related .in simple, vigorous English. "Aesop's Fables" was a third, and Introduced the log-cabin boy to a wonderful range of character*—the gods of mythology, the different ranks and classes of mankind, and every animal under the eun. Fourth was a History of , the United Statea, in /which there was the charm of truth and a more modem, tone, and from which were learned the lessons of patriotism Uiat Iindoln's manhood put, into action. Last came W«emi'J *T^e of Wa«hihfton.^a queer* stilted book, but one full of detail that .made Washington -seem a living example. -Xheee nva ^ooke^were -th© beginning of Lincoln's education: and what wise man has outgrown them all? _ Prom the Bible/Pilgrim's Progress, and Aesop the, bby Uncojn learned the power %hd beauty of ptafc Jraglish words,-and taw that the grandest thoughts and most poetic imagining* needed only the strong little words of every day. When, therefore. ID later life he wished to be sure he understood any matter, it became his custom to translate it into words such as a child can understand. Read again the Gettysburg address and second inaugural, and learn how Lincoln could make the homespun words of common use move the hearts of his fellowmen. Who will tell us what books were read by other great men and women of the past when they were "youn? readers?" Abraham Lincoln. Lowell somewhere remarks that It Is the highest art of a republic to produce men of flesh and blood. 01 Abraham Lincoln it was said he wae a man matchless among 40,000,000 in hie fitness for the place he held and the task he had to perform. Today, when those survivors of the national crisis have reached the reminiscent stage, and the memoirs arked by the heat of conflict can be calmly review* ed, It is beyond controversy that the career of him we celebrate has become a guide for all civilised nations.

There-'8 no rest and but little peace for a person whose kidneys are out of order. ^ Lame in the morning, suffering cricks Is the back and sharp stabs of pain with every sudden strain, the;day is just one round of pain and trouble. It would be strange if all-day backache did not wear on the temper, but it is not only on that account that people who suffer with weak kidneys are nervous, cross and irritable. Uric acid is poison to the nerves, and when the kidneys are not working well, this acid collects in the blood and works upon the nerves, causing headache, dizziness, languor, an Inclination to worry over trifles, and a suspicious, short temper. Rheumatic pain, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, neuritis and gravel are further steps In uric acid poisoning. Don't neglect kidney weakness. An aching back, with unnatural passages of the kidney secretions, is cause enough to suspect the kidneys.

These sores grew larger grad* ually until some were as large as a quarter of a dollar. They would itch and if scratched they would bleed and fmart The clothing would irritate them at night when it was being removed causing them to itch and smart so I could not sleep.

One spendthrift coold squander all the money that a thousand people make, too, but let us be calm. An exchange tells of a farmer who spent $25 advertising his public sale, which is about four times the amount usually spent The result was that , the sale brought him over $700 more than his highest estimate, so he thinks that it was money well spent. Farmers are just beginning to learn the value of liberal advertis ing of public sales. A tew dollars spent in advertising in the local paper will be read by ten times as many people as read the billT which cost nearly as much as the advertisement and therefore it a much better investment.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment,pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

The Warnes motor license law, which provides that owners must pay a state license fee according to the -horsepower of the machines in Ohio was declared unconstitutional by Judge Kiukaid in the common pleas court at Columbus.

Of courae, the aame thing applies to photographs of them; yet, for all that, there Is a satisfaction in taking them at home in their wild state rather than In captivity. I lire In a district in which these animals breed, and yet though I hare tried for years to procure photographic records of the young seals In the nursery, I have only just succeeded in getting a really good series. To begin with, the haunts of the parents are always outlying and somewhat Inaccessible rocks, where the ocean swell heaves itself almost ceaselessly and makes landing difficult. Then, again, the season of the year at which young seals are born is confined to a very limited period, which happens to coincide with the autumnal Equinox, and, consequently, with the equinoctial gales. This, of course, tends to make landing still more difficult, if not impossible. All this means that only once perhaps in several years do things so shape themselves that one can get a favorable opportunity of working among these marine animals. This year, however, circumstances have so arranged themselves that on the second attempt it was possible to land and photograph the young Quite comfortably. On Friday, October 4, we started for the Weatern Isles', and landed upon a rock which, as a rule, is selected by one or two mothers as a nursery for their young; but after a thorough search we had to give it up as hopeleas, and what made matters worse was that our anchor, during our stay on shore, had become fixed in some manner among the rocks on r-^ftvvj' •-•'..,. $>• -4 "*%»?:••• ls.lt:, .-,.-. »•,-.> - • , . •• >••$. H ^ the bottom, and fcafflo' be abandoned by_cuu^„througjLjaifl chain fiabl*}^ ^ c y ^ after about two hours' ineffectual attempts to release it We then proceeded to another rock and landed. Scarcely had we done so before we heard the cry of a young seal right in our track and Just above high-water mark, and 1 took several photographs of it. We found no more, however, on this rock, and proceeded to a third, and here we found four, all close together. The old seals had selected a most accommodating nursery, where a sloping platform of huge rock slabs shelved down at a very gradual angle towards the sea, and where the young could bask In the sun during the greater part of the day. Theae youngsters varied in age from what appeared to be but a few.hoax* to about a week or eight dayl) &&d we were probably only just In time to get a shot at the biggest one, for they take to the water very soon after they are a week old. The adult seals give very little opportunity for observation, and leas for photographing. They are very fond of basking in the sun on a rock out of the wind, where they will lit for hours, until their for becomes quite-dry and looks like that of a rough sheep. The rocks on which they He and bask are such that they can float oil to them at half-ebb; and Immediately dive off in case they hear the least noise which* differs from that jnada by the murmur of the sen. gkftnetimes a single seal will occupy fifth a rock, while at others several will congregate together. I have seen Considerable numbers, perhaps ten or a doten; but a boatman told ma that he on<je saw at least- fifty, which, Wfee* they we» disturbed, came with a rttshdown oter the rocks into the JL vms&rat2>&A&y* keep their boat well out of the way for fear of swamping. Their food is, no doubt, almost entirely composed of fish, which they catch with consummate skill. F\or years a huge seal waa well known by the local fishermen from the fact that he would follow a boat and, time after time, help himself to the fish which had been hooked but had not yet reached the boat This brute certainly had no fear of appendicitis, for he deliberately swallowed Hie fish with the hook and often a considerable portion of the line. A monster which can with impunity swallow fish-hooks can scarcely be troubled with an appendix! But I think there is little doubt that the seal Is fond of fowl as well as fish, for I was told only lately of an incident which certainly points In that direction. A lady was sitting upon the rocks near the sea and was interested /-in the movements of a seal In the water below. He kept coming to the surface in the usual fashion and looking about him, and then sinking again. This he had been doing for a considerable time when a gull came and settled on the surface close by where the seal had just gone under. Without any sign whatever from above, the bird, all in a moment, disappeared beneath the water and was not seen again. This seems to show pretty conclusively that the seal had seized the bird from below, and, if so, with what purpose except as food? Though, as a rule, silent creatures, seals are sometimes noisy and bark like a big dog. I was once engaged In a lonely spot on wave photography, when' I was much surprised to hear what sounded like a big dog barking close to me. I felt sure no dog could be there, but was puzzled to know what it could be until I saw a large seal swimming close by and barking It-was Very rough and/huge breakers were tearing themselves into spray and thundering on the rocks, he seemed quite undisturbed by them, and his voice every now and again sounded above all the din. Young seals also bark, though not in the deep bass of their parents; m fact, it is sometimes a plaintive howl, almost like that ot a child in distress. They are also very pugnacious, for if two young seals which have been born a few yards apart are put together they immediately. begin to snap at each other, hissing and snarling in 8 most ferocious manner. The fur of the young seal is beautifully soft and silky, shining in the sun like white satin, but it soon becomes coarse. It would be interesting if one could watch seals in the same way that one watches and photographs birds, in a hiding tent or a shed, such as Dr. Heatherley and I used for the peregrine falcons, but I am afraid that it is impracticable. The difficulties I mentioned at starting concerning landing, equinoctial gales, etc., make it a bit too risky, to say nothing of the long, cold nights which one would have to spend without any artificial heat. In May the nights are short and the hours of sunshine long, out in October things are different, so that I fear the actual watching and photographing of the adult seal in his ocean haunts will not be accomplished just yet.

A Century Ago. On the eve of the New Tear, 100 years ago, London experienced one of the worst fogs in her history. The fog enveloped not only the city* of London, but a large part of England as well. For many years afterward k was referred to as the "fatal fog." For five days London was in complete darkness. Electric lights, of course, were unknown at that time, while gas had only recently been Introduced in the great British metropolis for street-lighting purposes. The primitive gaslights, however, were totally unable to penetrate the thick and heavy clo'ud of fog and smoke that hung like a pall over the city. Business was necessarily suspended and the people had to forego their customary occupations. Some of those Who ventured from their homes became lost and In their wanderings fell into the Thames and were drowned. Many others "were seriously injured by collisions In the streets. Government Ownership of Telegraphs Washington—Purchase by the government of the telephone systems of [-the country, except the "farmer" lines, and the establishment of a federal monopoly over all telephone, telegraph and wireless communications, are recommended in a report submitted to the senate Saturday by Postmaster General Burleson. The report is in compliance with the resolution of Senator Norris requesting information, and was made on findings of a departmental committee which studied the practicability of government ownership of telegraphs. Byron's Anti-Fat Diet. As we all know, one man's food Is another man's poison—and certainly the poet Byron's anti-fat diet would add layers of flesh to some of us. A story is told by some one who once acted as the poet's host at dinner. The meal was served and Byron refused dish after dish, asking for biscuits and soda water. But, as the host says, "neither meat, fish nor wine would he touch, and of biscuits and soda water, which he asked for, there had been unluckily no provision." Then Byron chose, as tbe-least Itkely io-meke hl» fat, potatoes—andl dressed them with vinegar. And of potatoes—the present-day fat man's bugaboo—-he made a good dinner. San Franeisco—Under the auspices of the Panama-Pacific exposition, a great race is planned for any type of motor-driven, air craft, around the world, starting from San Francisco, the Aero Club of America announced Sunday. The exposition will put up $160,000 for prizes and an equal fund will be raised by subscription. It is planned to start the race in May, 1915, a#d to allow contestants 90 days in which to cover 22,000 miles around the globe. Live Stock Markets.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH &#W iH*< s SYNOPSIS. lieutenant Holton la detached from his fJmm&nd In the navy at the outset of the Jpanlsh-Amerlcaa war and assigned to miporta.nt secret service duty. CHAPTER IL The Girl and the Walter. At seven o'clock, in Immaculate evening attire, Holton set out from his club and sallied forth to the Willard. After studying the menu lovingly, and having devised a dinner suitable to the palate of one who had. followed the lure of Epicurus,in Vienna, Paris, and London, he turned from the card and lighting a cigarette and sipping a cocktail, he gazed about the room. At one table he saw the French ambassador and a company of his Gallic friends. Near by young Pembroke, of the British embassy, was dining a girl Holton had met/ To his left sat a dark-skinned, sleek-appearing man with close-cropped Vandyke beard. He bad been pointed out to Holton in Paris as a man wh<Thad plans of German forte at Kiel for sale. The young officer wondered what he was doing here. Altogether the atmosphere, Holton decided, was Just as it should be, Just as the capital of a country should act when the government stands on the brink of international war. * Holton had Just dispatched his first oyster when his attention was attracted by a musical little laugh to a table about twenty feet away from him. A girl, slightly above the medium height, with slender resilient figure, was standing with her back to him, talking to her escort, a well-built man of fifty odd, with Iron-gray hah* and beard, and the dark features of the Latin. She was a beauty. Holton, connoisseur of femininity though he was, admitted that without hesitation. Her hair was not the coal-black hair of her race, but a shining, golden deep brown, which lay upon her head in thick* waving convolutions, Her eyes were blue-gray, set off by long, dark lashes, and fine brows, which, ran with delicate arches to the straight, finely modeled nose. Her lips were colored by nature, pure coral, and her teeth flashed as she spoke. "It's absurd, father, for you to mind. I can wait here as well as anywhere else—although I shan't promise not to occupy myself by dining." The father shrugged. "Well," he said at length, 'It Is quite necessary, Ranee, and I shan't be gone long, but If yon mind HI take you back to the hotel." "Not at all, not all," she protested. "Ii!a -so bright .and interesting here, and you'll return soon, anyway. No, go on, father, and I'll eat"—she smiled radiantly—"very slowly until you return." Her cheeks had flushed with animation, and the purity of her coloring, as well as the whiteness of her skin, convinced Holton that If her father ware Spanish, or Cuban, or something Lett*, the girl unquestionably was the daughter of an Anglo-Saxon mother. With a gesture that amounted almost to carelessness, she had tossed a gold mesh hand-bag dn the table, and now as she glanced over the card It was quite concealed from her view. Holton returned to his oysters, not, however, neglecting occasional glances at thajradlant creature who had been left, as ha inwardly phrased.it, high and dry by her father. VI should think," he murmured, "that le'd be afraid someone would steal her. X—I, by George! Td like to, you know." Which thought thrilled him out of ail proportion to the amount of good sense k> contained It was at about thjs point that Holton's gase fell upon the waiter attending the young woman. He was one of those interesting persons to be seen occasionally hi great restaurants who seem to be above their calling". There was a Mddea something, passing phases of fmttal expression, a oertainSMwewient of the shoulders* an* above all, a firm-footed but light tread, alt of which seemed to Helton to Indicate « man misplaoed. . fie felt certain af this a moment later, when the gM agate lifted th* menu and the waiter stepped to the) comer of the taste, upon which the) rold bag lay.

Holton wasted no time in thought Quickly springing up he approached the young woman's table, and nodding to her ai to an old acquaintance, he placed bis hand lightly upon the wait- receptions." er s arm. * "Wait a moment," said Holton pleasantly. The girl in the meanUndgjhad been Btaring at the young officer in wideeyed wonderment. "What—what does this mean?" she asked finally. "Your bag," said Holton's quietly, "was on this table, was it not?" The girl leaned forward with a gasp. "Why—why, yes," she said. "Why— itrs gone." She looked up at Holton with startled eyes. "If s gone," she repeated, her voice beginning to rise. Holton smiled reassuringly and nodded. "Please don't be alarmed," he said, "it is all right." He turned to the waiter. "This man evidently regarded your bag as among the* debris to-be cleared from the table. Rather stupid, of course, but then, If he were not stupid he wouldn't be a waiter, you know." "What do you mean, sir!" exclaimed the man, flushing. Holton laughed and tightened his grip on the waiter's arm. "Come, come," he said. 'Take that bag out of your coat and put It on the table or 111 make a spread-eagle of you." "Give me my bag/' aald the girl, her eyes flashing. Without a word the waiter reached his hand inside his Jacket, and bringing forth the missing article, laid it on the table, "There," he said, "I thought someone had left it and I was- going to take it to the desk." "Rata," commented Holton. "Do you wish him arrested V* he added, glancing at the girl. The young woman thought a moment and then shook her head. "No, thank you, I think not," she said. "I should hate to appear In proceedings, and after all, no harm has been done. It may be he was sincere in removing the bag." Holton regarded her sharply and saw that she really believed in the She was speaking in perfect English, with Just the faintest accent. "Perhaps so," granted Holton. Then he took the bit in his teeth. "My name is Appleton," he said; "I'm a lieutenant in the army." "And I," she said, "am Miss La Tossa. I think I—at least, I remember seeing you at one of the White House Norton Tightened Mis Oris on the Water's Arm. - • *• man's guilt, but was averse to carrying the matter further^ ' "AH right," he said; releasing hi* grip upon the waiter's arm. "Now, then, you ge-and attend to your duties —and be sure yon don't nut any poison in this young lady's food." The waiter turned away with an evil esewt, aad Hot** bowed- and wag •bout to go to his tebterwhen the girl smHed at him radtenttr/ "I have not thankedvyosj yet for your kindness," she said. • <Oh,itwunothin*ataM,"ms*nded Holton, "But it was," ahe insisted.

You have rendered me a great favor tonight, and. that is quite sufficient. But you do not remember me, and so please do not try to make me think youjdo." "All right," said Holton, "I won't. But—but you will not think me presuming if I said I should like to—hereafter." '•" "I should like to have you know me/J she said simply. The unexpected nature of this remark quite unhorsed the young officer, and for a second no words came to his tongue, "Thank you," he said lamely. She regarded him in smiling silence. "But I'm afraid," she said then, "that your knowledge will be limited to this evening. I wish, really wish, it would be otherwise." She sighed. "It would be so nice to be like other girls. But father and I are birds of passage, here one day, there the next I shall be so glad to be home once more." "Home?" Holton looked nt her inquiringly. "Yes, my home is near Santiago. We are outside Cuabitas." "Oh! Holton flushed for some reason or other. "Good-by, Mr. Appleton," she said. "I am grateful to you—I am thankful. You have been very good. But now you must go, really." "May I not call?" asked Holton. "I recognise the informality of our meeting, and I do not wish you to think me forward, but I really—" "I thank you, Mr. Appleton," she said; "but, no—these things cannot be." There was a note of finality in her voice and a trace of pathos, both of which Holton caught "Of course, Miss La Tossa, I shall do as you say. But I am sorry." He paused. "And will you please remember this: If you ever need assistance in any way, and I am within reach, will you call upon met" — "I thank you," she replied. "You are most kind. I shall remember what you have said." Holton drew a card-case from his pocket "When I told you my name was Appleton," he said, "I acted upon impulse, but intended no insult My real name and my address are contained here," and he placed a card in front of her. The girl glanced at the bit of pasteboard, and then started. She looked up at Holton with a frightened expression. "Lieutenant Holton," she said. "Why, I thought—" She paused. "You thought?" prompted Holton. "1—I thought—" She paused again, then her expression changed, aad she smiled at him. '1 thought you said yoot name- was Appleton." "As I explained, I did tall you that," girl and the strange nature of their ta terview. While Holton was engaged la thought Miss La Tossa's waiter, as though to make up for his misconduct, proved a most excellent servitor. Hi seemed, in fact, to take especial pride in attending to the service with all thi skin at hip command, with the result that the girl, who was in large degrei an epicure, rewarded him with a pleas ant smile. Her father Joined her at coffee, sad it was then, while waiting for an or der, that this strange waiter penciled the following telegram. upon a pad which he carried in his pocket: "Holton at Willard. Scorpion evi dently not going to Key West. Failed with girl. But all working well." This went to Key West. The waitet returned to the dining-room, and spent all his spare time standing within ear shot of the table at which Miss h* Tossa and her father were seated. The two were guests at the hotel. Just before they arose the fathei said something which brought th4 waiter rigid. He listened for the re ply, and then with a broad smile ha hurried to the serving-table for finger bowls, as demanded by a fussy gentle man at a table in front of him. As for Holton, he was smoking a long cigar and, gazing thoughtfully at the ceiling, trying to determine where he had seen the face of that waiter before. * • • • • • • • When Holton entered the ballroom of the Willard the orchestra from behind its shelter of palms was sending Trying to Determine Where He Had Seen the Face Before. forth the stirring notes of Souse's "Stars and Stripes," whose popularity was then at the apex, and the floor was filled with whirling couples. A few minutes late, all other thoughts flashed from his mind as the girl be had met in the restaurant passed in at the door on the arm of her father. She was smiling animatedly, and was at once surrounded by a group of young men, mainly foreigners, all clamoring for one or more dances. "By George!" ejaculated Holton under his breath. "I'm for that young lady without any doubt at all" Twice he started to move toward her, only to be anticipated by some equally ardent young gallant, and it was not until the music of a waltz had ceased and her partner had begun to cast his eyes about the room for the woman whose name appeared next on his card that Holton saw his opportunity. Stepping quickly across the floor, he confronted her with a bow, seeing which the partner bowed in turn and disappeared. "Mr. Apple—Mr. Holton!" she exclaimed. "What a surprise!" "Not an unpleasant one, I hope,** smiled Holton in reply. "Of course not," she answered, placing her card in the officer' outstretched hand. "Thank you." Holton glanced quickly down the list of names. "I see the twelfth, thirteenth, aad fourteenth dances are not taken. May I have them?" "All?" She arched her eyebrows* but sailed, as if pleased. r< "Certainly, all," said the young man To Pipe Smokers $,RGL.G)r<? sT FRUIT j _rt' W'H^Or- ^ H Q » ' said Holton. ."it was an Impulse* and ^ . ^ w i ^ i i - «..„.• M „..«- -,„ M no harm was,intended.

Little Everett was a member of the Band of Mercy society, and was proud of the membership. He wore his badge, a small star, as if it were a policeman's insignia, and was often heard reproving other boys and girls for cruel treatment of dogs and cats. One morning a woman of the neighborhood heard a commotion outside Everett's home, and, going to the window, was surprised to find Everett in the act of tormenting the cat. "Why, Everett," she called, "what are you doing to that poor cat? I thought you belonged to the Band of Mercy society.'* "I did," replied the little boy, "but I lost my star."—Llppincott's. B-zz.

LIMITS OF THE HUMAN VISION. There Are Colors All About Us That the Eye Cannot See, as Wo Cannot Distinguish Beyond the Extremes of the Spectrum Red and Violet, No two persons see precisely alike any more than any two persons near precisely the same. The differences in these perceptions are due to the wide disparities not only in the organs of vision and hearing, but also to the differences In mental makeup of the individuals. There are more unsolved problems as to sight than any other sense. It Is the most wonderful and at the same time the most inexplicable sense that we possess. Every school child is taught that we see because rays of light reach the retina of the eye after passing through the transparent cornea, that curved surface which is in direct contact with the external air. the aqueous or watery humor, and the crystalline and vitreous humors. The eye is thus made up of three separate lenses, through which the ligtit passes before reaching the retina. When observed from outside It is plain that all the Images appear to be reversed in the eye. We see everything .upside down, but in some way this reversal is corrected, so that things appear to us as they should, though this simple point has not yet been explained by the most advanced science. But the eye sees not only images and light; it also distinguishes color. And here is one of the greatest problems with which the eye has to deal. The white light of a ray of sunshine is divided by a prism into all of the colors from red to violet, and it Is one of the greatest triumphs of modern optics to have proved thafc what we call color is nothing but the speed with which some parts of the ray of sunshine strike upon the retina. The eye can perceive waves striking it as low as red and as high as violet, but there are many rays both above and below the red /and violet the extremes of the spectrum, as they are called. The human eye cannot perceive these because the lengths of the waves or the frequency with which they strike upon the retina are too great or too small for the human organ. Yet they are most important, exercising a great Influence upon human beings. The ultra violet rays are known now by their chemical action and are termed chemical rays, while the infra red rays are heat rays and are known as such. So it is evident that there is much that tlje eye does not or cannot see, even with nil the mechanical aids which have been provided in telescope, microscope, etc. What really carries the message of vision to the brain center of vision, which is at the back of the head, Is the optic nerve, and the fact that if ydiu have n pain in the back of the head it Is probably due to eye strain is admitted b.v all physicians, if you feel that strain and headache located at the occiput the first tiling to do is to consult an oculist and get the glasses which will correct the error of vision Your eyes may be wrong in any mim ber-of-w^ysr-Eitlierthere-rnfly^be^ defect In some one of the lenses or the nerve may have become weakened or the muscles of accommodation b.v which the eye is Recused may be wrong. The last is probably the com monest of troubles and may be easily corrected If promptly taken in hand by an expert. Cross eyes are only defects of mus cnlar control, and the tatest researches point to the necessity for correcting this defect as promptly as possible Many parents make the fatal mistake of not calling in the specialist even whju they notice that an infant "crosses the eyes." But it is in the early stages that this trouble may bo ^ best corrected; otherwise the muscles become fixed in their error and the defect Is permanent It is never too early t o put glasses upon the child who requires them. It Is often too late to save the child from permanent injury of the most beautiful, most 1 pressive and most useful organ.—New York World.

Hard Luck? Bab our boys will i»o to seek revenge in the near future. We wish to remind the public again of the entertainment, appropriate to the memory of Washington, Lincoln and Longfellow, to be. held in-tht High School Auditorium Friday February 20, at 2 p. in. Admission, 10c. Watch for complete program in the next issue of the Dispatch. Last Thursday morning, Mrs. Danforth favored the school with a solo, J'The Land of My Golden Dreams." Mrs. Danforth never fails to win a hearty applause from her audience, and this proved no exception. Miss Alta Bullis gave a reading, "The Gambler's Wife." Miss Bullis especially exeells in this style of production, *nd she, too, was encored heartily, And responeed. By request, Miss Benham rendered again, "The Western Settler's Story". Joseph Greiner and Alger Hall attended the Lyceum at Anderson Friday evening. Aria Gardner is still confined to her house by illness. I FARMER'S INSTITUTE My Goodness, Just Read This! The following, article was sent to this office for publication and signed "Redpath." Upon reading it, we believe that it might interest all public spirited citizens anX our opinion of the article is, that all knockers should sell their hammers and buy horns. The Pinckney lecture course closed with a very fine attraction,Barnard's Orchestra, last Wed. evening. From a financial standpoint the course has been a failure, although the entertainments were better than average. There has been much said relative to the coarse by people who hava Lexer taken an interest in public affairs, otherwise than to get their hammers out on everything which has a tendency, to boost their home town and then kick when there' isn't anything doing in toW*>.f Rather hard to please such pe&le, don't you think? In the fuiifce the public at large will hati an opportunity to show there sk& ih putting on a lecture course. Th|^ boys who keep the bread bajpetewarm in summer and the oh§ir seats in winter will have thlir obadce to pot on a really .^:. good course; it do»*sn't cost any- 'v thing, jo«t. try it*.

It is not the capital of the nation, despite its name, that Is richest in Intimate a s s o c 1 a tlona with the life of the first president, but Alexandria, which stands midway between Mount Vernon and the city of Washington. Alexandria played no small part In the formative years of Washington's youth and early manhood. A representative Virginia town, it stood then and for generations later for all that was best of colonial standards. Its people had much to do with the molding of Washington's character, and Washington richly repaid Alexandria, or 'Belle Haven as it was first called, by his never failing concern for its welfare and advancement. Probably no surviving structure in Alexandria harbored Washington within its hospitable walk more frequently than the old Carlyle house, and cer- [tainly npne was more directly associated with the foundation of the military side of his life. Strange as it may seem, for many years this historical landmark has been hidden away behind the battered front of Alexandria's once noted hotel, the Braddock 'houser occupying one cornor of tho in Her courtyard, shut away from the pubtic gsze and denied the outlook of the broad approach which It once enjoyed in.the days of Its well nigh baronial importance. Until a few years ago the Carlyle house was largely used as A storage place by a local dealer In toolonlal antiques, but a few patriotic Virginia women saved the building Ifrom further indignity, though not entirely from danger, as the old furniture found a new abiding place within the still more Inflammable Braddock 'bouse, adjoining. In 1732 John S. Carlyle Imported from the isle of Wight the stone of (which the house is built, and he absorbed for part of the foundation a portion of an old fort which had been built many years before for the protection of the English traders at Hunting Creek, as the place was then known, .against the Indians. The barracks of -that ancient defense became the cellar •of the Carlyle house, and in those tcool, dark, dry retreats were stored In •Washington's day the bulging casks, 'cob-webbed bottles, and delicious old hams for which Virginia has long been inbted. Another part of the old fort forms the plaza at the rear of the house upon which^ the broad central hallway opensr It was upon this plasa, in tne lar away days, that the Carlyles and Jtheir guests gathered on summer evetainge to discuss ths questions of the time or to pass the hours chatting •over a heartsome glass amid the soothing smoke of the fragrant Oronoiko. It was th^re the young people ^watch^d the moon rise over the rivei *nd took their pleasures in the decorous manner of those days. Then, the gardens ran down to the fiver's bank and overlooked the docks at which the trading craft were moored —trading craft that came from over the seas to barter the silks and riches of the east and the tsopic abundance of the West Indies in return for the famous tobacco with which Alexandria's one big warehouse was filled. That was a period of bounteous hospitality and courtly grace. On the right of the broad hallway is the large drawing room. In Washington's day it was finished in gold and white, and there on many occasions he took an active part in ball and festivity and led many a fair Vrrginlan through the stately steps of the minuet and the less exacting reel. The hallway itBelf, if .tradition be correst, is not without its sentimental interest, for it WSB at the foot of the beautiful Btaircase of solid mahogany that Washington awaited the coming of the lovely Sally Fairfax upon a particular evening and while escorting her into the ballroom offered her his heart, which she rejected. On the opposite side of this same hall is the blue and white room, which was John Carlyle's particular retreat. Within that room Washington received his commission as a member of General Braddock's staff in 1755. What that meant to Washington we can only partly divine, but there is no doubt of its significance to us as a nation because of what it taught him of the fighting ways of the British soldier. From the broad portico of Mount Vernon Washington saw Braddock arrive with his transports and his ments of red coated soldiery and pasri onward to Alexandria, nine miles above, coming with the splendid traditions of the king's troops and with all the martial fanfare of regulars. As a leader of the local provincial troops Washington had won for himself a creditable renown, but here were soldiers supposedly of sterner stuff and higher military capabilities. General Braddock promptly accepted the hospitable invitation of John Carlyle and established hie headquarters nnder the roof of that gracious host, the little blue and white room becoming the council chamber in which were planned the preparations for that memorable but ill fated campaign against the Indians. Washington's previous experience as a leader of local troops against the savages made. him welcome at those conferences and hie keen judgment and practical advice earned for him Braddock's admiration and the Invitation to serve upon the British general's staff. It is enough to add that in the trying work that followed the British records testify that "the Virginia officers and troops behaved like men and died like soldiers," and Washington came out of the strife unscathed and riper for the far more serious task that lay ahead of him. ~ The architectural student will find much to interest him and to warrant study in the Carlyle house. The" old windows, the doorways, the primitive cupboards, chairboards, doorsteps, cornices, molding, etc., are exquisite in taste and rich in quaintnees and elej gance of detail, There they are as ] they were in Washington's time, and in common with the rest of the mansion are regarded as among the best specimens of the so-called colonial style. ^ In February, 1752, a market was instituted in Alexandria and the citizens were justly proud of their enterprise. The market place then lay directly in front of the*approach to the Carlyle house and that same mart of country produce waB intimately Identified with Washington's domestic life at Mount Vernon and was one other means of displaying his common sense. We of today know but little of the hardships of that colonial period, and feasting was not always as abundant as the etory book would have it. Rev. Mr. Weems, that chatty chronicler of the times, tells us that Alexandria then boasted more rightly of its beauty thai its means of charming the; palate. "The neighborhood of Belle Haven was not a desert; on the contrary it was in many places a garden spot, abounding with luxuries. But its inhabitants, the wealthy, were not wise. By the successful culture of tobacco they had money. And having filled their coach houses with gilt carriages and their dining rooms with gilt glasses they began to look down upon the poorer sort and to talk about families. "Of course it would never do for such great people to run market carts! Hence the poor Belle Havenites, though embosomed In plenty, were often in danger of gnawing their hails. And unless they could catdr a lamb from some good natured /cracker' or a leash of chickens from the Sunday negroes were obliged to sit down with ces-te-a-nalf-graced ^inner-of salt meat and journey cake. "This was the order of the day, A. O. '59, when Washington, juet married to the wealthy young widow Custis, had settled at Mount Vernon, nine miles below Belle Haven. Tne unpleasant situation of the families at that place soon reached his ears. To a man of his character, with too much spirit to follow a bad example when he had the power to set a good one and too much wit to look for happiness anywhere but In his own bosom, It conld not long be questionable what part he had to act "A market cart was instantly constructed, and regularly three times a week sent off to Belle Haven filled with nice roasters, kidney covered lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks and gobblers, chickens by the basket, fresh butter, new laid eggs, vegetables and fruite of all sorts. Country gentlemen dining with their friends in town very soon remarked the welcome change in diet *BlesB us all/ exclaimed they, 'what's the meaning of this? You invited us to family fare', and here you hav<*>given us a lord mayor's feast.' 'Yes/ replied the others, 'thank God for sending a Colonel Washington into our neighborhood.'"

ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB R. F. D. No. 3, Clarkfield, Minn.— "My trouble was of long standing. It started with some small red and yellow spots about the size of a pin head on my leg and every morning there was a dry scale on top covering the affected part and when those scales were falling off the Itching was more than I could stand at times. The first year I did not mind ^t so much as It was only Itching very badly at times, but the second year it advanced all around my leg and the itching was terrible. I had to be very careful to have my clothing around the affected part very loose. At night time 1 often happened to scratch the sore in my sleep. Then I had to stand up, get out of bed-and walk the floor till the spell was over. "I bought lots of salves and tried many different kinds of medicine but without any success. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a fifty-cent box of Cutlcura Ointment and when I had used them I was nearly over^the itching.

''< PINCKNEY DISPATCH i^ MEXICAN BANDIT LEADER IS 3AID TO HAVE H E L D UP T R A I N . EIGHT AMERICANS AMONG T H E DEAD. Imprisoned Passengers Art Completely Consumed By Intense Heat AfUr Wreck in Burning Tunnel. Cumbre, Chihuahua—Charred bones and several metal buttons and buckles from clothing were the only traces discovered of the bodies of the 40 passengers and crew of the train wrecked in the Cumbre tunnel of the Mexico & Northwestern railway Wednesday night. A rescue party equipped with oxygen helmets to guard them against the effects of the smoke and fumes of the still smoldering wreckage, made their way from the south portal of the tunnel, over the wreckage of the burned freight train to the locomotive and forward cars of the passenger train. Nothing remained of the cars but the metal frames and trucks and it is believed the bodies of the imprisoned passengers must have been completely destroyed by the intense heat. The wreckage is buried under from five to 10 feet of earth and rock from the caved walls and roof of the tunnel. Maximo Castillo, who was in command of the party that held up the freight train and pushed it into the tunnel where it was set on fire, had with him only 13 m,en and two, women. It is said he did not stop the passenger train but that he and his men went over the divide to watch the approach of the train and see it dash into the tunnel where the track was blocked by the burning freight. The bandits then disappeared. The victims included at least eight Americans and 30 Mexicans, according to a dispatch from American Con- Bui Letcher at Chihuahua to the state department at Washington.

Any person wishing to compare the scale of prices should inquire whether the distant store was selling the same goods. Second grade products can be made to look very handsome in a catalog cut. But the home merchants can not float that kind of goods. They come back to his store too easily. It is amusing to nee the bother people will take for trifling sums they think they are saving. They will travel many miles, spend street car fares, pay for luncheons, hotel bills and tips. They get tired aud footsore tramping around overgrown stores separated by long distauces. They wait for change, carry bundles and pay express. They pay a price in money and energy for supposed economies. When you buy goods away from home you rarely take them back. The bother and ex pense looks prohibitive. When ]• you buy at home you would re-1 turn them if dissatisfied. This j takes the time of clerks, frequently the goods have been injured while in your hands. Where it is so easy to return goods, the customer must be given both the worth of his money and something suited to his needs. A higher grade of salespeople is thus required in the home store. To make a sale that will stick so near home the customer must be given intelligent advice. Thus the puhlic demands from the home store more competent service than it exacts from distant merchants. This means additional expense which is counterbalanced by lower rents and like economies. When you consider how generously the home store responds to all kinds of demands reasonable and unreasonable the range of its prices is remarkably low,.—Ex. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed lo be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment,pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney <& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

DUDGEON. WHY IRISH BUTTER IS GOOD. Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland.— What the city woman needs is butter that 1B standardized and always of a uniform excellence—butter wb>«»h comes as fresh and comes as straight as may be from the cow on the farm to the table in the city dining room. With the husband singing In her ears the cong of high cost of living—and what husband is not driven to such songs in these days of high prices— she feels that she must get butter that can be bought at something less than the fancy priceB charged In the exclusive delicatessen shops to which she is driven in her efforts to insure her family a good grade of butter. Ask her and she will tell you that if co-operatlon will enable her to get good butter at a price made somewhat less by the elimination of excessive distribution charges then she is heartily for co-operation. The city man of course, wants a good butter to eat. The farmer want* to make money from his dairy. They have been telling us in America that direct co-operative marketing will give each what he wants; that co-operation has repeatedly accomplished these results where it has been tried In Ireland, in Holland, in Denmark and in Germany. If co-operation will do this, it is well to look into it for good butter is important—and financial profits are worth while. So some of us are over here in Ireland to see if co-operation really Is a benefit both to the city eater and to the rural producer. The co-operative creamery here is turning out good butter—none better anywhere. We think we have found why IriBh butter is good, why it brings to the farmer a good price in this city. The butter Is good because co-operative creameries use good methods of butter making; because their patrons get good milk from good cows, take good care of it, and deliver it in good condition to the creamery; and lastly because when once made it Is hurried off to a consumer before it can get stale. They get a good price for it because it Is good butter. On the other hand, the city gets It at a reasonable price because co-operative marketing in Ireland Is direct marketing; because the butter comes quickly and directly from the creamery to the city home with little added expense for much handling by many middlemen. Why Farm Butter It Sometimes Bad. The writer remembers summer but* ter made from cream skimmed from uncooled milk and kept on the warm pantry shelf during the long hot days . until churning time. It was hardly butter— it was in fact commercially ranked "grease." It brought six cents per pound, and as butter w.as worth less. Failure to make good butter was inevitable. Nor were the tired farmers' wives to be criticised for the poor results obtained. They had no facilities for keeping the milk and cream clean and cool, no facilities lor making butter, ho facilities for keeping it. Cooperation Llghtem Labor. What the woman on the farm most needs is to be free from the burden of the endless handling of milk, cream and butter, from skimming the milk, and churning the cream and from salting and working and molding the butter— from all the labor entailed in the production of home-made, hand-made butter. She needs it if she is to have any life outside the kitchen and the milk room. The laborious wearinest of the uneventful existence of the farmer's wife has produced many candidates for the insane asylums.' More than one worn out unfortunate has been taken into custody because her household duties have chained her to a maddening monotony unrelieved by opportunity for Intercourse, and hare made impossible any thought above the churn and the cook store. One Wisconsin farmer's wife was adjudicated by the county judge to be afflicted with insanity. When the judge announced the decision to the husband he was incredulous. "It can't be she's got insanity or anything else," he said. "She's had no chance to catch it She hasn't set a foot off the farm for 14 years and no neighbor has stayed at our house long enough to give her anything." If co-operation in the production and marketing of butter will take off even a small part of the burden of the farmers' wife, if it will give her time to straighten up from her work at table and tub and leave her free to remember that she is a human being with a head and a^toul, if it will permit her to get off the farm oftener than once in 14 wears—If co-operation will do this or help by ever so little to do It, the woman on the farm is for co-operation. An Ungatfant Irishman. Wc- have found one man here in Ireland who is opposed to co-operation. Walking along a country road near Omagh we came upon a shrewd faced Irishman who was very ready to talk about co-operation. He was evidently a man of some Intelligence and, judging from his manner and address, a man of some experience and success in business. So we engaged him in conversation about co-operation and its effects. "I am against it," he said. "There is no sense in it." And he gave us in forcible and picturesque language the story of4*ow he had been personally injured in his business by co-operation. It developed that he had been a buyer of farm produce—a commission merchant in a small way. "Now there is no money in it," he said, "since the margin between what the city man pays and what the farmer receives is cut down. The farmer sells through the co-operative organization directly to the city merchant." Reluctantly lie admitted that maybe it was better for the farmer and better for the city consumer who had little with which to buy food. "But it's hard on us commission men. It's putting us on the rocks. I am not buying butter at ail any more. The co-operative creamery here has run me out." We asked him if co-operative butter making did not make the work of the farmer's wife and daughter easier. "Of course it does," he said. "And little good it is doing them. They don't have to skim the milk and churn and mold and salt the butter now and so they go galavanting over the roads on their bicycles. They don't stay home at all any more. They're worse about gadding than city women," and he shook his head with misgivings. So, if it be true, as our Irish friend in his self- pity proclaimed, that cooperative butter making and butter marketing is going to make it cost the consumer less and net the farmer more, we suggest that both maker and eater will be for it, the ex-commission merchant to the contrary notwithstanding. They will both in city and country be interested In seeing co-operation accomplished. Certainly the country woman who feels the burden of butter making will welcome a process by which she is to get an opportunity to Bee something besides the top of the cook stove and the inside of the big churn. And we do not believe that the ordinary American farmer will object to co-operation even if It does give his wife and daughter time to get out upon the road in buggy or on bicycles. The Omagh Creamery, When we learned that the Omagh Co-operative Creamery system of marketing was cutting down the margin of price between farmer and consumer —was both raising the price to the farmer and lowering the price to the consumer, we concluded that It was a concern worth considering. Even the accusation that made it possible for the farmer's wife and daughter to get out on their bicycles occasionally did not unduly prejudice us against it. The Omagh creamery is capitalized by contributions from 600 members who invested from five dollars, up to $250 each. But the voting is not by shares. It Is on the one man one vote plan. The five-dollar man votes just as often and as forcibly as the $25o-dollar man. The members voting thus elect a board of directors. These in turn hare the best man they can get as manager, But he must be more than a butter maker. He must be a good business man and an expert in marketing. No matter how moon money hi made, it must all go book to the members in proportion to the butter fat delivered to the creamery after a dividend not exceeding five per cent, is paid to the stockholders. Five per cent. i« the limit of profit to shareholders. This Is the rule in all co-operative enterprises in Ireland. It is organized primarily that profits may go to the man who brings in the cream. It Is not ranked as a particularly fine investment for the shareholder. Differs From American Creameries. We find the mechanical processes of butter making much the same as those in the best up-to-date American butter factories. We do find, however, that cellence than that of the American factory. Here each member seems to realise more fully than does the American farmer that the utmost vigilance must be exercised in keeping the milk and cream fresh and free from all impurities, that keeping up the quality of the butter is as much his business as the butter-maker's. Therefore he breeds and feeds and cares for bis cows and handles his milk on scientific lines suggested by co-operative instructors and inspectors. The farmer is saving bis own Interests, of course, for a falling off of quality and reputation means a falling off in the price obtained for butter. The creamery tests carefully, not only for butter fat but for freshness and flavor. Supervision and Inspection, Then, too, the Irish Aarieultural Organization society, which is the central federation of all co-operative societies, Inspects the creamery and ite output frequently, points out defects and helps to remedy them. The business side is not neglected. The organization society has complete business supervision of the creameries, which must keep their accounts and records in the way and on forms prescribed by this central body. The creameries report to the organization society and their books and accounts are periodically audited by the organization society's auditor. Co-Ope rat I on Does the Work. In short, the butter ie good because of co-operation. The members co-operate with each other and with the Omagh creamery; the Irish Agricultural Organization society co-operates with the Omagh creamery; the Omagh creamery is federated with hundreds of other creameries and is federated with and co-operates with the Irish Wholesale society through which the butter is marketed. It is co-operation everywhere and the object of it all is to produce good butter, to market it in good shape and to get a fair price for it. Quality and Brands. But quality after all is the whole thing. If butter is not good no system of marketing, no business methods, no exercise of federated strength, no cooperative endeavor can do anything for it. The Omagh creamery makes good butter and for years has made good butter. It has a well established reputation for good butter which is worth at least one cent for every pound that, it makes. In order to be able to collect this cent on each pound it must mark each pound that it sends out. — . And printed upon the wrappers and stamped upon the cases is the guaranty of quality: "Guaranteed Pure Centrifugal Creamery Butter, Finest Quality." Butter Central Label. But more Important still is the authorized label of the Irish Agricultural Organization society issued from its headquarters at the Plunkett house iu Dublin. It goes upon only the best of butter. It goes not upon a case or cake or cover, but upon the butter it- .self. The label is printed upon thin tissue paper. When it is placed upon the butter it is stamped with a die that fixes the label firmly upon and in the butter and tears the paper so that it cannot be removed and used again. This label is guaranteed as carefully as are the coins of the realm. Each has a series number and can be traced to the creamery to which it was delivered. If by any chance it is found up on a poor quality of butter, the buttez is at once sent back to the creamery to which the use of that particular label was entrusted. What We Need In America. We have plenty of creameries in the United States. Some of them ara "owned co-operatively by the farmers. But the farmers stop just short of the highest success. The marketing is generally haphazard. The different creameries do not co-operate in sell ing. Often good butter goes bad be fore it is sold. No one knows where the demand is greatest today, when the butter should be sent tomorrow. The quality is seldom uniform. Many a good butter maker with, good butter making equipment turns out poor butter because the patrons bring in poor cream. The farmers do not co-opera* tively work for quality. The creamery does not always discriminate between the best fresh cream and cream that is a trifle stale and old. Butter buyers cannot know what they are getting. The name of the creamery upon a package carries no guaranty of quality. It Is put on good and had butter alike. A Definite Prescription. What is needed in the United States is, first, eresmerles supported by farmers working together co-operatively to produce an absolutely uniform high grade product; second, a brand that is authoritatively fixed only on butter of the highest quality after official tests and grading:; and third, a central association or federation of creameries that will perform the functions of the Irish Wholesale society and of the Irish Agricultural Organization society. This central federation should control the branding of butter, possibly under state supervision; it Bhould respect and audit and advise with, each separate creamery; it should aid in marketing the butter intelligently and economically. j»s}ta).sfle}^s)gtajtsfrs^^s>sftsj^s)isjia? $ MARKET QUOTATIONS : %**«**>•**» ****** mm*mmr Mve Steek, Grain and Gsneral Farm Produce. this co-operative association has had «*„„»„««*•«,. an output that is of more uniform ex-1 (copyrirht. i m .

The dance he was waiting for at length arrived, and Holton sallied forth to seek his partner before the Opening strains of the waltz measure had died away. He found her standing alone near the musicians, and as he advanced with a smile of greeting She looked at him with a strange expression. "No, Mr. Holton," she said, "we mustn't; it is best not." "Best not what?" Holton stopped short and regarded her with a look of amazement. "Best not dance, really," she said. Holton almost glared at her. "And why not, please?" he asked stiffly. The girl stepped impulsively for* ward and placed her hand on his arm. "Ah, don't," she said. "It is for the beet* I tell you. Now, please excuse me." . "Don't you care to dance with me?" Holton looked at her curiously.

She had already discovered that fact, and, abandoning herself to the sheer joy of the dance, relaxing slightly in his arms, she suffered herself to be guided about the floor. After the. dance Holton led her to a secluded corner and sat down beside her. "That was great," he exclaimed. "Permit me to say you dance wonderfully well." "And you, too," she said. "But why—" She interrupted him by tapping him with her fan. "Don't, please!" she pleaded. Holton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he said. He toek her card. "The next dance Is ours," he added. "Why did you come here tonight?" she asked. "Why—why—because i_wanted to dance," he answered. "I thought," she began slowly, "I thought that perhaps there might be another reason for your coming." Holton started back - in his chair. Surely there was another reason, but this girl Jhad driven that "other reason" completely out of hie mind.

"If you regard it aa such." "Then 1 promiasV* h* said softly. •»s thrust out hat hand inpulsiTCf}. Presently, as the next dance began, she arose. "Mr. Holton," she said, "believe me sincerely when I say to you that I must go now. I promised father I would leave at one O'clock, and you see now that it 1B after one." Holton got up with a gesture of deprecation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish it, nor did she attempt to draw it way. "If you ever hear anything concerning me—now or in the future, will you withhold judgment until—until you ask me about it and have me explain?" "I promise," replied Holton. There was a faint pressure on his fingers, a bright smile, and the next instant he was standing alone. As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about, Holton. was confronted by a thick-set man in evening dress. "A very charming girl, Mr. Holton," observed the stranger. Holton flushed angrily. "And who are you?" he asked bluntly. "My name is Harper," was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way, do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?" "Who? Miss La Toss*? Oh, yes." But Holton suddenly realised how little he did know. "How well do you know Miss La Tossa?" the other asked suddenly. "Oh, a mere acquaintance; recent," answered Holton. "Did you know that that young woman has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?" "Rest of what?" demanded Holton eagerly. "Rest of the spies, of course." Holton thought a moment and then there recurred to him the girl's parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future, will you withhold judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain?" And he had promised. Well, he would make good his word. He would nave her explain. He turned to the Secret Service man beside him. "What you have said is very interesting," he said. "In good^time I may have supplementary information." "Don't tell me you didn't know this all the while?" smiled the detective. "I'm telling nothing," and Holton turned away. CHAPTER III. A Broken Promise. While Holton was making up his mind to ask Miss La Toasa several questions, her father began to do that very thing without, apparently, waiting to make up his mind, as soon as the two were within the little anteroom of their hotel suite. "Carita!" he expostulated. "You did not attend this dance to flirt?" She laughed. "Father, and how could I help it? He waa snch—such a corker." ^ The senor raised his hands heavenward and looked at his daughter ~Tn mock dismay. "Agreed, then, he was a corker. I am glad to know that. It is really valuable information. But now tell me waa he inch a corker that you forgot to ascertain that for which you attended this ball? Waa he in reality Lieutenant Holton?" "Oh, yea, he waa/' "Well, then, what about the Scorpion?*' "Why, I—I did not recall that you—" The candor which was naturally a part of the girl's nature asserted itself. "Father, he was so fascinating that I forgot all about the Scorpion." "So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his shoulders. "There was very small doubt that he really was Lieutenant Holton," he went on. "Several of my men recognized1 him. But what was really important was why he left the torpedo boat, and having done so, what became of the boat. That was what I really wished to know, and what you easily could have learned. 1 am sorry you have failed me." "I am sorry I disappointed you, but, father, I hate the Spaniards—I am Cuban born, and I hate them because they have been so cruel." Her eyes flashed. "I have disowned Spain." "My daughter!" exclaimed the father sharply. "I cannot help It, father. Have we not seen women starring with their babies at their dry breasts? Have We not seen men fighting for the bones we have thrown from our baskets? Have wo not seen murder after murder in cold blood?" "That r why I have been aiming to obtain the governorship," said the father, "and how are you helping me? Not by such language. That is what you have to consider." Another thing, my daughter, 1 have heard that you are becoming too closely affiliated with certain groups of Cuban plotters— you know who I mean. I forbid that absolutely." The girl blazed at him with dilated eyes. "You have heard what?" she asked. "I have heard enough to make it seem my duty to have you sent back to Santiago—to the estate' You are a girl—you are young, and I am sorry to have to say that you are also a trifle foolish. You will therefore sail on the Ward liner Saturday with your aunt." "Very well, father; it shall be as you wish. There will be war, you think?" "There is no doubt as to that. The drift of this government is easily read." "And then—" "Cuba will never be taken. We shall plan no war of aggression. We shall wait to be taken—but that never shall come to pass." "You say that!" The girl regarded him closely. "The United States Is a great nation." "Yes, but not a warlike one. Our soldiers uphold the traditions of the Cld; the blood of war flows in their veins. It is inconceivable that the arms of a nation so rich in military history, so filled with annals of achievement and of conquest both on land and eea, should succumb to a nation whose shrines are dollar-marks and whose gods are profit and loss. Remember, until my return to Santiago, you are to remain at the estate." He paused and took a paper from his pocket. "And between now and Saturday," he added, adjusting his glasses, "you will avoid Senores Perez. Pedrajas, Montez, Cassajara, and Castro." The daughter cast a swift glance at her father, and then let her eyes fall to tHe floor. "You see," he continued, "I am tolerably familiar with what has bean going on. My position here, Ranee, is one of dignity. I am not a spy, I am not a diplomatic emissary. When "Father, I Hate the Spaniards." relations of diplomacy are broken I shall have no* further business here. But you—you are different. You hare been played upon by a group of zealots whose cauee is not *only against the country o f my birth, but also against the United States. Then he kissed her good night and went into his room to enjoy a muchneeded rest. For some time she sat In her apart ment, thinking; finally she sat down and wrote the following letter: "Father Dear: "Forgive me, but I cannot, keep that promise. I cannot. Before yow awakn I shay have gone to K-ey Weft, perhaps. From there 1 shall go to Santiago as you wiehed, where, if you have not disowned me I shall await you at our home." 8he smiled as she wrote this, knowing that however angry her father* might be, love for her, his spoiled darling, would utterly prevail. "In the meantime you will receive daily messages from me, telling you I am well. Adios. "Your loving RANEE." Enclosing the note in an envelope, she addressed it, placed it on a desk in the anteroom, put on a coat, concealed her face with a heavy veil, and went out of the hotel. Early next morning Holton set out for his audience with the assistant secretary. "Well, what did you learn?" was the smiling greeting he received from hia superior. Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as Holton told his story, but when ho had concluded he leaned forward. "Well, how do you like detective work?" "I fear I am not a detective, Mr. Secretary. I think I iiave demonstrated that." "Ahem, I don't know, Mr. Holton. I tell you, it was more or less of a whim of mine, sending you to the ball. I had hoped you might meet a Miss La Tossa. In fact I had requested a Secret Service man to bring you two together." Holton started. "Oh," he said, "I did meet her." Holton proceeded to recount his experiences with the girl, beginning with the incident of the waiter and the gold-mesh bag and ending with his dance and his interview with the detective. "Well," responded Mr. Roosevelt, "you have done exactly as 1 might have wished you to do, and, having done this, it is my desire that you cultivate her acquaintance assiduously and report to me whenever you learn anything that may appear valuable." He noticed the blank face of the officer. "What is the matter?" he asked. "But, Mr. Secretary, I cannot spy upon her—sho is my friend. Why," he cried warmly, "she's the finest girl you ever met!" "Why, my dear Holton, cannot you see? She was spying upon you." "I cannot see how she was doing that," protested Holton. "She made no attempt—" "Well, see here, Mr. Holton, you have established your acquaintance. Now, then, I ask you this: If you discover in the course of your friendship with her that she is working to injure our country, will you take steps to prevent her doing so and to apprise me as to the facts?" "I am under oath to the United States, sir." "Well, then, that is all I ask. You are ordered hereby to pursue your acquaintance with this young woman to that end." "Yes, sir," replied Holton. "I suppose then that I shall remain in Washington some time." "No, Mr. Holton, you'll not be in Washington long. Mies La Tossa left for Tampa this morning." Holton started to his feet. "And I'm to follow her?" "Yes, at once, please. You had better arrange- about transportation and the like immediately." "Thank you, sir." Holton did not hear the laughter that followed his outburst of gratitude, or at least he paid no attention to it For the one thought that filled his mind was that he was going to some heavenly place where his dance partner of the night before was to be.

The "Marseillaise" is -the only production of Rouget de Liele which has survived, and "The Wearing of the Green" was the work of an anonymous purveyor of ballads for the street hawkers of Dublin.

Two men who had long been on bad terms with each other met one «Jay and said one to the other, "What's the sense of two intelligent men gein' along month after month like a couple of wild cata spittin' ,at each other? It's a burnln' shame that we twe be actin' like a couple of boobies. Shake hands and come and have a drink!" The other assenting, they went to the nearest bar. After the drinks had been taken, a silence fell between the two. "What are you thlnkin* aboat?" asked one. "Oi'm thinkln' the same thing that you are," was the reply. "So," said the first, "ye're startfn' agin, are yer?" Tne Oldest Ship. Said to be the oldest ship in the world in active service, the Copenhagen yacht Constance has been sold to a fisherman of Skaw, in Jutland, who will use the ancient craft in his trade. The Constance was built one hundred and ninety-three years ago, and in her long life she has sailed into almost every port in the world. Her timbers are still staunch, and her new owner declares he can see no reason why she should not sail the seas for a century to come. Very. Two well-known aviators were discussing the progress of aviation in France. "I see," one of them remarked, "that the Aero Club de France is going to set up a monument in honor of Santos- Dumont." "Really!" exclaimed the other. "Where will they erect it?" "At St. Cloud," was the reply. "How appropriate!" commented the other. ' Never Goes. "I understand he's an osteopath."

The uiau who conducts his business ou the theory that it doesu't pay and he can't afford to advertise, sets up bis judgment in opposition to that of all the best business men in the world. Says an experienced advertising agency: "With a few years' experience in conducting a small business on a few thousands of capital he assumes to know more than thousands whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a year, aud who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says doesu't pay." If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants of every town, large or small, are the heaviest advertisers? If advertising doesn't pay who does the most business? If it does not pay, business firms in the world spend millions in that way. Is it because they want to donate those millions to the newspaper and magazine publishers or because they don't know as much as much about business as the six-for a-dollar merchant who says money spent in advertising is thrown away or donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such talk is simply ridiculous and it requires more than the average patience to discuss the proposition of whether advertising pays or not with that kind of a man. His complacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the whole world i» laughable and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn't revolve by placing a pumpkin on a ntump and watching it all night.--Oxford Leader.

A Manitoba Steer Carries Off Similar Honors to Those Won by a Half- Brother in 1912. "When CWeneamock 1., the Aberdeen- Angus steer, owned' by Mr. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, carried, off the sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock Shov in 1912, it was considered to be a great victory for barley, outs and graBB versus corn, So that there might be no doubt of the superiority of barley feeding, Manitoba climate. and judgment in selecting the animal, Mr. McGregor placed in competition in 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a half-brother to the animal that won last year, and secured a second victory in the second year. In other classes he had excellent winnings, but the big victory was the sweepstakes for the best steer. This victory proved that Manitoba-grown barley and oats, and prairie hay, had properties better than any contained in corn, which in the pa^t has been looked upon as being superior to oilier grains in fattening i'!:d linishing qualities. Not only this, bit Giencarnock's victory proves that, the climate oi the prairie provinces of western Canada, in combination with- rich foods that are possessed by that country, tends to make cattle raising a success at little cost. Other winning* at the live stock Bhow which placed western Canada in the class of big victories were: Three firsts, seven seconds, and five other prizes in Clydesdales. The winners, Bryce, Taber, Sutherland, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, llaggerty, Leckie and the University of Saskatchewan are like family names in Saskatchewan. Each one had "the goods" that won honor to himself and combined made a name and record for Saskatchewan. Look at the recent victories won by •western Canada within the past three years, In February, 1911. Hill & Sons of Lloydmiu8ter, Saskatchewan, showed a peck of oats at the National Corn Exposition, held a t Columbus, Ohio, and carried off the Colorado silver trophy, valued at $1,500. In February, 1911¾. the same men, father and son, had a similar victory at Columbia, N. C, and,should they win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they will own the trophy. In 1911, Seager Wheeler of Rosthern won $1,000 in gold at the New York Land Show for the best 100 pounds of •wheat. In 1912 at the Dry Farming Congress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr. Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500 Rumley engine for best wheat in the •world. In 1913, at the Dry Farming Congress, held at Tulsa, Okla., Mr. P. Gerlack of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried oft the honors and a threshing machine for the best bushel of wheat shown in competition with the world. In 1913 at the International Dry Fanning Congress at Tulsa, Okla., Canada won the majority of the world's honors in individual classes, and seven out of the sixteen sweepstakes, including the grand prize for the beet bushel of hard wheat. The grand prize, a threshing machine, was won by Paul Gerlack for !best bushel of hard whe&L-_vhich •welched 71 pounds to the bushel, and Wan of the Marquis variety. In the district in which the wheat •was grown that won this prize, there •were thousands of acres this year that Would have done as well.

Inniskeen, County Louth, Ireland.-— In America we are trying in a more or less cgnscious effort to make the schoolhouse the educational and social center and the school master a community leader. In Ireland without any set purpose this result is already secured. At Inniskeen, in county Louth, for example, John Quinu, the school master, is the big man. By virtue of his- natural qualities and by reason of his secretarial position in the co-operative association he is the farmers' banker, their business manager and adviser, their agricultural expert, and a temperance reformer. In fact he is the community leader. His schoolhouse is a social center for to it the people go for co-operative association meetings, for temperance lectures, and for public gatherings of all sorts. We have been to County Donegal and have seen what the co-operative enterprises centered at Dunglow have done for a region which is naturally unproductive. Under-the leadership of Paddy Gallagher, a native business genius, co-operation has brought comfort, relative prosperity and hopefulness to a community which was previously a desolate combination of peet bog and rocky hilleide. We have stopped here to see the results of co-operation when planted in a more fertile productive soil, for this portion of County Louth would compare favorably with the richest stretches of our own middle western states. The Average Irish Farmer, Anxious to find the average small farmer who is a member of the co-operative society and willing to talk about its affairs, we were directed to Edward Meeghan, who operated a farm out two Irish miles from the village. Ae we walked out to Meeghan's place the consciousness was forced upon UB that in this section Ireland Is far from being "starving Ireland." The fields are carefully cultivated—cultivated as they seldom are in the states. The hedges and walls are well kept. The heavy crops indicate a high degree of fertility. Each'cottage gives evidence of prosperity and self-respecting pride. Upon the faces of those whom we meet we see nothing to indicate that the local Irish are poverty Btricken or despairing. We find Meeghan on a 40-acre farm of which he is evidently and justly proud. The fertile fields, the stacks of rich grain, the high grade live stock, all demonstrate that it ie possible to make money hereabouts and that there is a promising future in the local agricultural situation. Buying Farms for Less Than Rent. Meeghan himself, a vigorous fellow, full of enthusiasm and hopefulness, explains that his father prior to his death had bought the land under the imperial land tenure^ctjprovidlng for an arbitrated value as between landlord and tenant The value once fixed the government paye for the land, and then permits the tenant who becomes a purchaser to repay the purchase price in sixty odd years, each year keeping up the Interest at two and threefourths per cent and paying in addition a small installment upon the principal. He tells how his father paid, as rent alone, 18 pounds per year, while he himself in buying the farm Is now paying, including both Interest and annual Installments on principal only 14 pounds per year. Quite naturally he has a keen appreciation of the land tenure laws which enabled him gradually to obtain the farm by the payment of less money each year than originally went for rent alone. Prevents*! Improvements. This is not to him the important thing, however. His father had previously been a tenant A new thatch on the barn, a new slate on the root or a new shed for the cow, could not be obtained in any way from the landlord. It must be contributed by the tenant who knew that 'within thirty days thereafter he might be put off the place. The natural result was to prevent all repairs and all permanent Improvements. Jn this entire region we have not been able to discover a single fruit tree that had been planted prior to the acquisition of the land by the tenant purchasers. In fact there are no mature fruit trees here. Where we have seen 4 new Urm building or any permanent repairs on old buildings or any other farm improvement inquiry Invariably has revealed that it had been added einoe the farm went into the hands of a purcasing tenant la other words, Meeghan and other tenant purchasers fee* now that in making repairs or Improvements they are working, for themselves, adding value to their own property, where formerly any improvements made were for the benefit of the laudlord for whom they had no particular liking. Farmer's Views on Co-Operation. We asked him what he thought of the co-operative society and what use he had made of it. "Before the co-operative society was organized," he said, "it was difficult to procure* fertilizers. While the department of agriculture analyzed the • soils and taught the farmers, £>y bulletin and otherwise, the elements which must enter into fertilizers it was absolutely impossible for the tenant to procure of the dealers fertilizer containing these elements in proper proportion Fertilizers were high too." Now, as he explained, the co-operative societies buy the elements going into the fertilizers and themselves mix them in the proper proportions. The co-operative association not only guarantees the quality of the fertilizers furnished to their members, but sells them at a greatly reduced price. That they are better than the manures purchased of the regular traders is evidenced by the actual effects upon the crope. Co-Operatlve Credit, It was evident that in Meeghan's estimation the greatest benefit to the members of the local organization is from the credit society branch of it. The farmers in this vicinity had been well taught and were anxious to improve their stock to get better implements, to use commercial fertilizers properly compounded, to plant better seeds. Before the co-operative credit association was organized they were unable to do anything of this sort. Since the co-operative organization has been in operation, however, it is easy to get from the society a small loan for any of these purposes and the farmers were In consequence steadily improving their property. In other words he seemed to think that the improvements in rural agricultural methods which we see everywhere would have been absolutely Impossible without this little local credit society. Meeghan himself through loans secured of the co-operative credit society had been enabled to purchase blooded slock and had bought improved implements and tested seeds. We found upon our return to the village that school was just closing and Quinn went with us to his home, which although modest, was as trim and comfortable as any village home which w% have ever been privileged to visit in America. He talked freely of the affairs of the' society, showed us the books and records and explained the methods and practices employed in the co-operative conduct of the business. A Simple Organization. The co-operative society has no headquarters and consequently has no rent lo_ pay. The home of iha-secretary is the office of the society. There the banking business as well as the other affairs of the society are conducted by him out of school hours. The little society has 500 members, each member having one share upon which he has advanced about Blxty cents. The credit society, a branch of the cooperative^ aesoclatlon, has 161 members. ".The society meets," he said, "four times each year. At those times the members give us orders for these goods which we handle cooperatively, Including seeds, manures. Implements and occasionally other articles. We go over the old accounts and arrange for their payment or extension. ' We talk over the plans of the society. We consult about local farm problems, about seeds, manures and rotation of crops, exchanging ideas as to methods of meeting various questions that arise. There is no co-oporatlve store here and we never keep articles in stock. We order seeds, manures or implements and notify^ the fanner when they arrive. He takes care of them generally within twsnty-four hours. We can do this because most of our members ere near by. We get everything a little cheaper and of better quality than do the regular traders. In nothing, however, has the Improvement in quality been mo marked as in seede and manures. How a Farmers' Bank Loans Money. "Our organisation loans money to' its members at 5½ per cent. To depositors we give three per cent on all deposits. We thus do business upon a margin 'of 2½ per c e n t On the other hand the Joint stock bank nearest here charges 6¼ per cent interest but pays only 2¼ per c e n t Interest on deposits. They require a margtn of tour per cent, on which to do bustneee. Not only have the joint stock banks e wider margin on the loans, but the worst of it is you cannot get a loan from a joint stock bank for more than three months. They never loan for longer than that time although sometimes, of couree, they will grant renewals. The trouble is that these renewals are hard on the farmer. These banks are only in the larger places ; Very often the farmer has to go some distance, take his sureties with him, pay their expenses, give them their dinner, and I am afraid sometimes treat them to liquid refreshments. If we have a man who wants money and he lives near by we simply ask him to bring in two good men as sureties, and j if they are all right and the man is honest and a good worker and his neighbors speak well of him there is no difficulty and very little formality in getting the loan. In addition to our deposits wo have- arranged for an overdraft from the Bank of Ireland at Dundalk. They co-operate with us in a friendly manner and help us much. "There has been a wonderful improvement in this community since the land tenure laws went into effect and the tenants are getting to be owners. It is a wonderful thing. People who were slovenly and whose premises were absolutely unfit to live in have now purchased their premises and are improving them and are living under much better conditions. They used to be afraid their rent would be raised if they fixed things up. The old age pension has helped many of the old people, for there are many pensioners in this vicinity." How t i t t l e It Costs. The books of the company show that the only expenses incurred are the compensation of the school teacher as secretary and manager, $60 per year; registration fees of $8 per year; and in addition postage and stationery to the amount of two or three dollars. The total of these items is only about $70, this being the only expense incurred for an entire year. The demand for small rural credit associations in Ireland Is very g r e a t The joint stock banks are not so well scattered throughout the rural section in Ireland as they are in some parts of the United States. Often the expense of traveling to the bank and the paying of the expenses of the sureties, as Quinn explained, is considerable. It is said that these expenses In addition to interest, make a small farm loan cost 20 to 40 per cent. If a young farmer is buying young stock, pigs, for example, it is far beyond the period of three months before they will be ready for sale. If he buys fertilizers he can expect no results for six to ten months. Returns upon good seede are equally slow in coming in and on the money placed in the new implements and equipment he gets returns still more slowly. For these mem a three months' loan is of little use. The inelastic city system of loans, doee not really help the borrower, but in a sense cripples him. It is only fair to state, however, that the large banks, although their methods are unsuited to the farmer, are on the whole honest and Just in their charges, and practices. The difRcu|ty Is that their methods of business make it absolutely impossible for the farmer to deal with them profitably. ""—-, How Character Counts. But here in Inniskeen and wherever in Ireland a co-operative credit society has been formed, any farmer, be he tenant or landlord, with a good reputation for honesty and Industry, can by furnishing two sureties from among his neighbors get any reasonable amount as a loan for one year. To do this involves almost no delay or trouble or expense. The bank is near by^ Cooperative farmers are neighborly citizens, ready to help one another out, so that sureties are easily secured. The interest is at a low rate. The borrower can rest assured that he will not be unduly crowded ae to repayment if misfortune should overtake him, for those with whom he deals understand fully his circumstances. In fact the committee which decides his fate is composed of farmers like himself who know what hard luck is, who have likely themselves been borrowers, who are friendly to him and will give him a chance. This is the form of credit loans most common in Ireland. Such a co-operative credit bank could be organised to' advantage, in many American communities particularly in those states where there are no banks in the smaller cities and villages. They will inevitably be organized in such communities unless bankers cease trying to force down the throats of the farmers the inelastic, unsuitable city methods of doing business. The question is, are the bankers going to crowd the farmers into these co-operative credit enterprises ? The banks must grant longer-time and more liberal and elastio terms on per* sonal loans. They must arrange for mortgages which run over longer periods of time and which are to be repaid in moderate installments as the slow farm profits come in. Oo-operative credit may not be necessary. It is up to the banker. (Ceprrtght, 1»14. Western Newspaper ttai«a.K — t w o — t m m * m m The diamond, output of German South Africa Is being - regulated to maintain prices.

In the first place, money of various denominations is put into the machine and separated according- to value, these being sent into various tubes. When in the tubes the coins can be taken out in lots of ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred pieces, at the will of the operator. The apparatus is capable of separating, counting and dividing in the lots mentioned above 72,000 pieces in an hour. One machine under one operator is able to accomplish In one day as much counting as could be done by fifty most experienced bank cashiers.—Northern Weekly Qaaette.

FOR PROPER SWEEPING MATTER T H A T IS OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE. Practical Flan Should Be Devised and Lived Up To, and the Result Will Be Found Eminently Satisfactory. There is an art in sweeping a room, and it requires brains as well ad hands. Some housekeepers sweep dust into hall, or from one room into another, and then wonder why their house is so soon dusty again. First, dust all furniture that can be removed and set it in the hall. Clear the room of all loose articles and open the windows to give a free circulation of air. Dust that goes up must come down, and it will settle on one's hair and clothing as well as on the furniture. Rugs retain more dust than any other household articles, and children contract diseases by playing upon dusty rugs. Notice whether you are UBlMg the best method in sweeping. Never sweep toward door or corner, but from the edges toward the center with short, quick strokes, bearing down on the broom and lifting it back instead of dragging. Do not push stuff along with the broom, for this will break off splints, and a broom will not sweep clean with uneven splints. The majority of women always sweep with the same side of the broom to the front. This makes the broom lopsided, so that ft cannot be used in any other way, and the points of the splints get bent all one way, and they get together at the ends and cannot take hold of the dust as they should. The correct way to use a broom is to hold the handle vertically, so that all the splints in the face of the broom will take hold at the same time. Every day the broom should be turned around so as to sweep with a different side. In this way the broom wears evenly. To preserve brooms, dip them for three minutes in a pail of boiling soapsudes once a week, and occasionally in salt water to make them tough and pliable. A good broom holder may be made of two spools nailed to the wall about two Inches apart. The broom can be easily hung upside down between the spools. Ideas of* dusting are many and varied. Some dust only what is in sight, others what might be seen, and a few dust everywhere. As ordinarily performed dusting simply whisks the lint from one place to another. To begin right, draw the shades to the top of the window, and with stepladder and cloth, or long-handled brush, dust walls, cornices, pictures and cords, and wipe the carpet or rug breadth by breadth with a cloth wrung from water with a little ammonia or salt in i t Dustless dust cloths can easily be made at home by soaking squares of old flannel In paraffin or floor oil overnight, and wringing them out tightly. If they are washed in lukewarm water they will last indefinitely without resoaking. They will gather up every particle of dust, and leave a nice polish on furniture and floors. The unbeaten white of an egg stirred into cold water cleans polished surfaces well. Work in small sections, dry quickly and rub until bright Cloths must be soft and clean. Woodwork that has been stained only should be cleaned with a cloth slightly oiled and dusted with a dry cloth. White spots made by water or heat on varnished furniture are removed by rubbing with spirits of camphor. The very best duster for the highly polished wood of pianos, etc., is a good chamois skin dipped in clear water and wrung very dry so that it feels merely damp. A little ammonia in the water helps to remove finger marks. Bare floors are cleaned like any other woodwork. Waxed floors should be washed before rewaxing, but rarely at other times. Quick Loaf Cake, One cup butter, two cups sugar, one and one-half cups milk, one cup cooked potato yeast, a teaspoon nutmeg, two eggs, three enps bread flour, two teaspoons baking powder. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, then well beaten eggs and yeast. Sift the flour, nutmeg and baking powder together and add to cake mixture alternately with the milk.

"It was a case of mistaken kindness," said Judge Stephen McK. Harris, in an address in Denver. "The man thought he wad protecting a counterfeiter, but, as a :natter of fact, he was proving that he had once been a counterfeiter himself. "It reminds me of the young lady sociologist who went to see a white slave play in New York. She was separated from her companion, another young lady sociologist, by two rows, and, thinking that the man next her was alone, she decided to ask him to change seats with her friend, so that they would not be separated. "With a sweet, demure smile, therefore, she laid her little hand lightly on the man's arm and said: " 'I beg your pardon, but you are alone, are you not?' "The man, a stout, red-faced chap, put his hand up to his mustache and whispered out of the corner of his mouth: " 'Cheese it, kiddo; the wife's neat me here.'" ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY Roxbury, Ohio.—"When my little boy was two weeks old he began breaking out on his cheeks. The eczema begap just with pimples and they seemed to itch BO badly he would scratch his face and causae a matter to run. Wherever that matter would touch it would cause another pimple until it spread all over his body. It caused disfigurement while it lasted. He had fifteen places on one arm and his head had several. The deepest places on his cheeks were as large as a silver dollar on each side. He was BO restless at night we bad to put mittens on him to keep him from scratching them with his finger nails. If he got a little too warm at night it seemed to hurt badly. "We tried a treatment and he didn't get any better. He had the eeeema about three weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed him at night with the Cuticura Soap and spread the Cuticura Ointment on and the eczema - left." (Signed) Mrs. John White, Mar. 19, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Geological surveys of parts of th© Spitebergen show that there are immense deposits of superior coal in various places, and interested individuals and companies alike are planning to tap those resources and bring them upon the highway of international trade. Not many yeurs ago Spitzbergen was an unknown land, and for many years it was a resort only for whalers, shoremen and bandits. Various scientific expeditions have returned from time to time with valuable and interesting information. It is now apparent that in spite ef theice, cold and fog, Spitzbergen is a land fraught with many commercial possibilities. The coal is practically all on the surface, and deep mining is unnecessary. Prosperity Communistic. — A man cannot prosper in any honest business without benefiting the community as well as himself. For hecannot induce men to deal with him without offering them an advantage; and, taking all the transactions of lifetogether, the advantages which n e a offer to others must, on the whole, be equal to those which they receive* themselves. Doing business, therefore, is a very effectual and extended mode ef doing good; and the fortune which is acquired in doing it Is, in a very important sense, the measure and index ef the good done.—Jacob Abbott.

Holton's requisitions were promptly attended to. and by the time he had completed his packing at the club his tickets for the Florida Special had arrived. He lunched with Billy Holt of the ordnance department, and then took a hack to the station, where he found the train made up. He had several magazines in his hands, and settled down to read with his feet luxuriously resting on the other seat of his section. It was not many minutes, however, before he yawned broadly, and five minutes thereafter his. magazine had tumbled from hia hand and he was fast, asleep. As he fell into slumber two men approached the porter, and, throwing open their coats, displayed Secret Service shields. While their English was perfect, they were surely of the Latin race. "Ya-as, suh—all right, genTmen." Trie porter was very much impressed. "Ya-as, suh, go right along." "As they approached Holton'e section one of them stopped. "Well, here he is," he remarked. "YeB, and asleep, too. He's bound for Tampa for a surety." "Yes; but, now that he kindly sleeps, we might as well go farther." He bent down and carefully drew Holton's bag out Into the aisle. "Quick," he Bald, looking up, "the keys." H'is companion drew fronf his pocket a large bunch of keys, and the man tried several without e x c e s s Finally, becoming impatient, he drew the bag to the seat behind Holton, aud, drawing his knife, cut a long hole near the top. Then, inserting his hand and arm, he fished about for several minutes, but without feeling anything other than wearing apparel and toilet articles. Finally he straightened up and pushed the bag into the place whence it had^ been withdrawn with the frowning remark: "Well, we'll have to let him go; we've done our part." The two men spent some time i s the station, framing a telegram in cipher, which, when completed, was sent to Tampa, Then they disappeared. Holton In the meantime slept, and -was still asleep when the train moved out Awakened by a sudden turn of the cars, he started bolt upright and looked about him with only a vague idea as to where he was. When he came to a realizing sense of his situation he looked at his watch, and then tried to resume his nap. But this time he did not fall asleep, and so, •after fidgeting about for half an hour, lie decided to go into the smoker. He had some very excellent cigars 1a bis grip, and, pulling out the bag, he leaned down to unlock it, when he •aw the long hole which had been cut in the shining pigskin. He regarded the damage for a seox> nd with rising anger, and then unlocked the valise and searched it thoroughly to see what had been stolen. For his only idea was that some sneak thieves had taken advantage of his •lumber. But, finding everything intact, he was obliged to east about for another explanation. It WM then that the thought of spies ooeurred to him. Thus thinking, he rose from his seat «nd looked searchingly over the occupants of his ear. Almost the first person his eyes 'lighted upon was a girl in the section diagonally opposite him. One glance at her profile was sufficient to send HoHoff stumbling and gasping back Into his seat' The girl was Miss La Tossa, He thought for a moment Oh, to %e sure, he had risen to find out who had maltreated bis bag. Then—* Oood HeavensPxHolton's hands flew to his t*«e4 aft** sh# most approved ( A STORY OF THE^t V ^ FREEING OF CUBA* V, Lawrence Perry / r .. • - - ^, . —• IHu»rratlon» iry f Aj&vrrexiGe retry r EiiKwortHYountf Airtoorcf * JWMw r r ( h e % * r ^ ^ i)' rs^( ' manner of tragedy, and for a moment he tried to dismiss the surging thoughts from his mind. But no, the facts were large and luminous and not to be denied, and these facts were as follows: He had gone asleep in the car, his bag had been cut open and rifled. Now, then, Miss La Tossa had been designated by fnen who, should know whereof they spoke as a epy. Miss La Tossa was the only other person in the car—he paused. He just would not think it, that was all. So, picking up a magazine, he settled back in his seat and tried to lose himself in a serial story. For a while he kept his mind fairly well upon the tale, but eventually he found his thoughts straying to the girl In front of him. Eventually he flung the magazine aside and shifted about uneasily. After all, was he playing the game as he should? Silent contempt was all right if it were only noticed. But silent contempt when the person against whom it is directed does not feel it, is hardly a satisfactory course to pursue. With this thought, Holton arose from his seat and, with a self-conscious smile, bustled up to Miss La Tossa as though he had juBt discovered her presence. "Why, of all things!" he exclaimed. "How do you do, Miss La Tossa!" Her book fell to the floor and she looked up. "Mr. Holton!" she cried. "The very same," laughed Holton, "and may I ask what strange circumstances have brought us together again?" "I was just going to ask you that." Holton looked at her curiously, hardly knowing what reply to make, after such a check. "Where are you going?" he Inquired at length. "To Tampa and thence to my home," she responded. "Oh!" Holton shifted doubtfully. "I'm going to Tampa, too." "Really." "I trust if I can be of any service you will avail yourself of my presence, Miss La Tossa," he added somewhat formally. "Thank you. Won't you sit down? That's one service you can perform— talk to me; I'm dreadfully bored." Holton seated himself obediently. "Beastly raw and windy, wasn't it, today?" "Yea." Then she laughed at him unaffectedly. "What are you laughing at?" "At your brilliancy. Oh, you are masterly! And yet," she added, "they told me you were so clever." "I cannot help what people say," he began, and then, impatient at his obvious disadvantage, he changed the subject "I had the most curious thing happen to me on this train," he went on. "Now," she laughed, "you promise to be really entertaining. What was it? Do tell me!" "I boarded the car," said Holton, "and fell asleep—" She giggled, and he raised his hand impatiently. "I fell sleep, and while I slept some rascal cut a hole in my bag and rummaged through the contents." He glanced at her sharply. But her face revealed nothing except polite concern. "Indeed!" Bhe remarked. "Nothing was stolen," continued the officer, "and I cannot imagine why the thing was done." "I think, perhaps, I can tell you," she said calmly. "Ton were attached to the Scorpion. She had been testing out some new torpedo. You came to Washington on the eve of war, and now you hurry away again to Tampa. Certain persons were desirous to know whether your departure concerned the Scorpion, and your bag was searched for orders or other writings that might throw light upon the subject." "Ton are frank." Holton looked at her admiringly. "But how do you happen to know all this?" "Because I'm a spy." Holton's face assumed the color of a perfectly ripened tomato. "You—you—" Her hearty laughter brought him to a pause. "How astonished yon seem to be!" She regarded him humorously. "Why," she added, "I really believe he thinks now I out open his bag." Holton brought himself np with a Jerk. "Miss La Tossa," he said, "1 bow to you. You can deprive a man of speech about as handily as any person I ever knew. Of course, you're not a spy!" "Do you really believe that?" Her eyes were serious now. "Do you?" "Yes," he returned desperately. "Then, Mr. Holton, I beg to inform you that I am a spy." Holton received the girl's announcement with bowed head, and as he didn't speak she looked at him with defiant eyes. "I am a Cuban. I am not a professional spy, as you may imagine. I fear I am not a spy at all in the high sense of the term. But I have tried to serve my country; 1 shall continue to do so. My country is in peril. I could be, I was born to be, I fear, a pleasure-loving butterfly. But I have found that there are ways in which my country has need even of poor me." "Yes, but we need not be enemies." Holton's voice was very earnest. She did not reply, and Holton added: "I applaud your motives, but surely you do not imagine Cuba to be in danger at the hands of the United States. I should think Spain would be your object, and if the United States. I ask you why?" Still, she did not answer, and Holton, shrugging his shoulders, impatiently repeated his question. "Why?" "Do you know, Mr. Holton," she said after a moment's pause, "that every mile southward this train flies increases my happiness. It is so pleasant to feel you are nearing home." "You have not answered my question, Miss La Tossa." "And I do not intend to answer it." Indignation was coloring the naval officer's mood. "Look here, Miss La Tossa, I like you. If the honest admiration of a man is anything to you, you can make the most of that statement. And so I ask you with the friendliest motives —why should you think it necessary to pry into the affairs of the United States?" "I am an enemy to any enemy of my country, and by enemy I mean any He Cut a Long Hols. person or group of persons whose good-will toward us may be Questioned." Then you infer that the United States is not noting in a war to show good-will to Cuba!" Holton was thoroughly outraged. "Well, I'll be hanged if that isn't gratitude!" "If you don't mind, Mr. Holton," she said sweetly, "I should like to read now." Holton hustled out of the seat in a great huff. "Oh, certainly, by all means; most assuredly," he burst out, and returned to his seat As he sat there thinking, the train stopped at a small station to change engines. When it started again the conductor came into the smoker calling Holton's name. He responded, and the conductor gave him s long, official appearing dispatch. The message ran at follows: "Holton: "Congress declared war today. Sampson wl 1' be ordered to blockade the Cuban coast. Troops will mobilize at Port Tampa. They will proceed thence in transports to Cuba. You will remain in Tarnpa, availing yourself of the Gnat [a small torpedo boat, built for a battleship to carry] to prevent any attempt to destroy transports. You will watch Cuban camp at Tampa for developments regarding matters already brought to your attention arid will hold yourself in readiness to laud secretly on Cuban soil to perforin intelligence work with regard to location and movements of Spanish warships. You will work under direct orders of the Secretary [Long]. ROOSKVELT." "Whew!" Holton sat back In his seat. So war had "come. What would happen now? So far as he was concerned, Holton was likely to be well in the forefront. He was exalted, thrilled in every fiber of his being. He put the dispatch in hia pocket and walked back through the train to his car. As he reached Miss La Tossa's section he found her folding up a bit of paper and putting it in her waist. Had she, too, received a dispatch? Holton did not doubt It. So he wasted no words. "Well, it has-come to pass," he said; "war has been declared, and within a lew months Cuba will be as free as even you could wish." "God grant it," she murmured. Holton held out his hand. "Good night, Miss La Tossa," bx said. She shook his hand cordially, lingeringly even. "Good night," she replied. Her eyes sought his, and for a moment it seemed as though she were going to speak. Then she turned away. Holton waited an instant, and then he, too, averted his face. "Good night," he said again, and went to his own berth, where the porter had completed his preparations, Select a person with a hot temper if you want a warm friend. CHAPTER V. Mysterious Messages. At Tampa Holton met and had breakfast with several army engineers who had been engaged in laying out camp sites in the pine woods back of j Tarnpa. Then in the afternoon he proceeded on to Port Tampa, nine miles a ay. Ahead, rising into the blue sky liko some dream palace in Sahara, the Tampa Bay Hotel, with its brick walls and gleaming silver domes and minarets. It brought hope to his heart, and his steps were more springy as he hurried toward the irnmense structure. A negro boy took his bag as he entered the lobby, and the clerk smiled as he had not done since the winter throng left the hostelry early in March. After a bath and shave he set out to the bay to view his new command. He found her in charge of an able seaman, Conroy, who welcomed him with enthusiasm. Holton stepped aboard and chuckled when he recalled the comparatively large deck space of the Scorpion. The Gnat was almost a toy craft, and yet her regulation torpedo gun on the after deck, the machine gun forward, and the little conning tower, heavily plated with steel, gave adequate hint that she was by no means built for pleasure. "It Is likely we'll be busy before long, Conroy," he said. "I'll have my luggage brought down from the hotel and come aboard at once. How many men have we?" "Only Howard, the engineer, and me," was the reply, "All right. The fewer the better. I'll return shortly, and perhaps take her out." Whereupon Holton stepped out with a blithe stride. In the lobby of the hotel he burled his face in a Washington newspaper and spent a half-hour absorbing the war talk of the day. His reverie was interrupted by a hotel page, who handed him a card bearing the name Jose Rodriguez, Havana. "Mr. Rodriguei wishes to tocow if you will do him the honor of falling upon him in his rooms," announced the boy. "Rodriguez! And who is he?" "He's a very wealthy Spaniard who has been here some time." "Well, then, you will tell Mr. Rodrigues that if he wishes to see me, hell find me here." "Yes, sir, I'll tell him that," and the boy hurried away. "I like the nerve of that," growled Holton, returning to his paper. In a few moments the page stood before him again. "Well?" Holton looked up impatiently. "Mr. Rodriguez said, sir, that he does not w-bsh to speak to you in tht lobby, and that it will be best for you if you visit him as soon as you can in his rooms." Holton flushed angrily. "Say, boy, get this straight. You give Mr. Rodriguez Mr. Holton's com pllments, and say to Mr. Rodrigtei th vt Mr. Holton says for him to go u the devil."

Mrs. Dan Crauford, whose book "Thinking Black" has created considerable controversy, mentioned some extraordinary Central African "dishes" in the course of a recent lecture. These included stewed elephant's trunk, roast rhinoceros foot, boiled hippo tongue (stewed 48 hours to make it tender), roast wild donkey, stewed monkey, roast water rat, head, tail and all, and the luscious morsel, which a chef provided as a state delicacy, of a mess of thousands of white ants, frizzled In their own fat, like a sort of Central African whitebait. Also there was a special dish, much favored, of starchy boiled grass, "green and glutinous." Mrs. Crauford also told of the Central African "knuts." The young bridegroom wore a necklace of teeth and hairs of the elephant's tail, and a fur boat, which any East End lady would envy, of squirrel skins, gray and white, the toilet being completed possibly—for all European garments were fashionable—by one of Mrs. Dan Crauford's skirts specially lent for the occasion. 8CHOOL TEACHERS. Also Have Things to Learn. "For many years I had used coffee and refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system," writes a veteran school teacher. "Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continu* ous labor. X had developed a well defined case of chronic coffee poisoning. "The troubles were oonstlpaUon, fluttering of the heart, a thumping In the top of my head, and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and, at times after exertion, a general "gone" feeling, with a toper's desire for very strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck for years. "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them, and urged me to try it I was prejudiced beeaiss) some years back I had drank a cap of weak, tasteless stuff called Postal which I did not like at all "This time, however, my friends made the Postum according to directions on the package, and it won me.

The ghastly legend of the Minotaur preying upon the bodies of the tribute youths and maidens in his impenetrable labyrinth has been proved to bare had a solid foundation of historical fact. The Labyrinth has been brought to light, an extraordinary complex of nails, stairways, chambers, cells, and corridors, which thoroughly explains t o w the unfortunates who entered it as -captives came to believe that no .stranger could escape. Strange and terrible must the labyrinthine palace j the of Knossos have appeared to foreign feeh,6hters, and grim and barbarous indeed— though hiding their cruelty beneath a veneer of culture—must the great palace—probably slaves. Rut all as yet await interpretation. Crete has so far yielded no representative of the Rosetta Stone. The stages by which the picturepeople that built and inhabited it have t writing of early Crete developed into eeen, unless all the evidence has been grossly misread and misinterpreted. It Is to be feared that the tribute of youlhe and girls from subject states -was a fact. To Knossos they were "brought, and there, confined in deep, emoothwalled pitlike enclosures, they dragged out their lives until the day •when they were brought forth, unaraaea and defenseless, to face the charge of bulls In the arena. Their one faint hope, as we may see by the frescoed pictures, was to catch the beasts' horns and vault over them. £n nine cases out of ten, as we may ne only too sure, the fate of the haplest «aptlve was to be gored to death t o make a Minoan holiday. I*i many ways, however, Minoan ctvttiaattou was of a very high type. The towns were well planned and well built, with commodious and comfortable houses, provided—wonder of wonders— with a proper drainage system. In art and architecture the achievements of the Minoan* were noteworthy. Most remarkable of all, they possessed a well-developed system of writing, thus exploding the old theories of Greek and pre-Greek illiteracy. So secure they seemed behind the .guard of their ships that they dwelled 1 fearlessly in unfortified cities, not, as the lords of Mycenae and Tiryns,- beaiad gigantic wall-rings. Yet a time came when the erstwhile ever-victorious mavy failed In its task, and a catastrophe occurred whereof some Teeerd lingered long In Hellenic traditioi*^ The foes—were they Achaeans? —ran their galleys ashore on the beaches of Crete, and the end came. 'Imperial Knossos vanished In sack *&tf conflagration; her people were dealt such measure as they had often meted out. But the memories of Mints lingered long, and at last, after the lapse of more than thirty centuries, Sir Arthur Evans wrung from the soil of Crete convincing evidence -of the might of the Minoans if sot, •as yet, of an actual being named IMiaes. Fiom the ruins ef the Minoan cities hare been disinterred thousands of in- «er4eed tablets, very largely, as it -would seem, dealing with administrative and financial matters—like the -vast hoards of clay documents found among the remains of the cities of Mesopotamia. A regular system of numeration has been detected, and It ils thought that certain tablets relate ito chariot wheels, arrows, and other warlike stores. Others appear to be lists of men and women belonging to an elaborate system of hieroglyphs and thence into the linear script, with which the Knossian tablets are for tbe most part covered, are fairly well marked. With a keen and practical people the necessity of simplifying a cumbrous hieroglyphic system for everyday needs would be apparent. Certainly the Minoan script appears to be much simpler than the cuneiform writing of Mesopotamia. Nevertheless, the old system and the new appear to have flourished side by side, and perhaps to some extent in conjunction, until Minoan culture was destroyed or displaced by the new Inhabitants of Crete. Perhaps the most famous of the Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions is that of the "Phaestos disc." The disc is a roughly circular clay plate about *6.67 inches in diameter, covered on both faces with a hieroglyphic inscription which in each case colls round from the center outwards. It is by far the largest hieroglyphic inscription yet discovered in Crete. It contains some 241 signs and 61 sign groups, and it exhibits the remarkable peculiarity that tvery sign has been separately impressed on the clay while in a soft state by a stamp or punch. It is, in fact, a printed inscription. So much appears certain, that the Phaestos disc was not Inscribed by Minoans. The signs differ greatly from those of the Knossian deposits. Four-fifths of them are quite different and the remaining part do not always closely resemble those of Crete. There is no trace in the human figures of the wasp waist we have already learned to seek in the portraitures of the men and women who moved about the palace of Minos. The male figures all seem to have shaven heads. Those of females aro broad, squat, and ugly, very different from the slim Minoan damsels with their dainty "Parisian" dresses. There is a ship unlike those depicted at Knossos and a building astonishingly like the Lycian tombs, whereof specimens are preserved in the British museum. Sir Arthur Evans came to the 'conclusion that the inscription probably had some religious significance. He also thinks that it was the work not of Cretans but of some parallel and closely-allied culture, and suggests that this culture was that of Lycia in southwestern Asia Minor. As to its religious bearing, he considered that it is probably a hymn to a naturegoddess. A sign apparently intended l SOME OF THE HEIROQLYPHS OF THE PHAE8T0S DISC.

Pair tf weaving wttgatt ' to represent a female breast 1B a prominent one, and it is a reasonable inference that it refers to some such deity as Kybetfe, the Great Mother, or the Diana of Ephesus with her multitude of breasts. Such a divinity was worshiped in Minoan Crete and may have been the same as Ephesian Diana. Two attempts have been made to interpret the disc inscription, one by Pofessor Hempl of Stanford university, California, the other by Miss Stawell of Newham college, England. Professor Hempl makes it to be a record of the restoration of plunder to a shrine. Miss Stawell, on the other hand, interprets it as an archaic hymn. Certainly on the face of it this interpretation seems the more probable, and agrees with Sir Arthur Evans' view. The shape of the disc appears to indicate that the inscription Is not an ordinary one, and it may very well have been a written prayer or psalm. Miss Stawell's interpretation Is based on the assumption that the language of the inscription is Greek— necessarily Greek of a primitive type. Having decided the identity of a pictured object she attaches to it its name In Greek, and then takes the first syllable as the sound value. For example, the human head with the curious crown-like covering is taken to signify "man." The Greek words for man are aner and anthropos, and therefrom the sound value is given as an. A face marked on the cheek is interpreted as "branded man/' therefore "criminal." From this the meaning is deduced as kakos (bad) and the sound value as ka, and so on. Of course it [ is evident that independent observers might interpret many of the signs differently. One does not see. for example, why sign 20, an obvious jug, is not to be interpreted as one, instead of, according to Miss Stawell, "mead" (in a jug). To conclude, It would seem that interpreters hitherto have assumed much; and the results of their labors, though highly interesting and creditable to them, are not altogether convincing. They assume that the language of the inscription is Greek, and 4 there is no evidence that the tongue of the Minoan Cretans was Greek at all. So far as can be Been the Minoans were a totally different race from the Greeks, and it seems rather early days to assume" that they spoke their tongue, much less that the goddess of the disc is Athene. Further, it is probable that the Phaestos disc is Anatolian, and not Cretan. Chinese Are Thrifty Farmers. "In the utilization of every square foot of soil and every leaf or root that is grown thereon, the patient, working farmers of China could give points even to the thrifty rural population of France." says the Philadelphia Public Record. "Land is never wasted. There are no such pasture and meadow lands as we know here. If a traveler wants to pitch* a tent anywhere in the settled provinces of China he must drive the stakes in a bean patch or a rice field or amid potato hllla. The native would receive with scornful amassment a suggestion of a public pleasure ground. The only 'parks' art the groves about the tern* pies. T o the topi of the hffls the terraces climb, holding their tiny plots of wheat and corn* sometimes at a house roof angle of 45 degrees.

It is a fact that many cases of pimples and eruptions of the skin are caused by bad blood, and the utmost care of the skin will not rid one of these unsigEtly and painful blotches; the only way theae can be gotten rid of is by taking a good blood purifier such as Ny&Ts Spring Sarsaparilia and carrying out the following suggestions: - Begin the treatment by steaming the face at least one-half hour, after which massage with a GOOD face cream, or better, a massage cream; this frees the face cells of all impurities, enabling them to breath more freely as theae cells *re the lungs of the skin and when they become closed by impurities the poUon of the body sets up an irritation an i these pimples or eruptions are the result. This treatment shouto" be continued for about a week. If they do not then disappear you may rest assured ir is a condition of the blood and it fc would be well to consult a doctor. f MEYER'S DRUG STORE §= T h e N y a l S t o r e % Mnckney, Mich.

The present demand for foodstuffs in all parts of the world, and the expense of producing it on hlgferpriced lauds, would make it seem that west* ern Canada came into evidence ai? the4 crucial period. There is to be found the opportunity that will be a |JJ8* factor in meeting this demand. 'With its millions of acres of land, easily cultivatable, highly productive^ accessible to railways, and with unexcelled climatic conditions, the opportunities that are offered and afforded are too great to be overlooked. There have been booms in almost every civilized country and they were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and was burst. But in no country has the development been as great aer as rapid, whether in city or in cetintry, as in western Canada. The provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have She largest area of desirable lands en the North American continent, and their cultivation has just begun. Even with a two hundred mlHloa bushel wheat crop, less them eight per cent, of the land is trader' the ploughs, four per cent, being ta wheat. Less than fire yearB ago the Wheat crop was only 71,000,000 buafcets. It is a simple calculation to ensimAta that if four per cent, of the avartablo cultivatable area produces something over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent; produce? And then lack at the Immigration that is coadag into the country. In 1901 it was 49,*49, 17,000 being from the United States; in 1906 it was 189,064, of which 5?<60O were Americans, and in 1918 it was about 400,000, of which about 140,000 were Americans. But why have they gone to Canada ? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100" to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age upon lands as rich and fertile as those he left, and producing indeed several bushels to the acre In excess of anything he has ever known, it will take mere than an ordinary effort to prevent him from making the change. And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the industrious farmer with which it has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience fs no small matter in the building up of a country. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but tittle has been touched. No country in the world's featory has attracted to its borders a larger number of settlers in so short a time, or has attracted so muoh wealth In a period of equal length, as have the Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished nnder conditions so favorable as those that exist in western Canada today.—Ad* vertisement HAD PROOF OF ASSERTION Mean Spirit.

The dan.ce he was waiting for at length arrived, and Holton sallied forth•,to seek his partner before the opening strains of the waltz -measure had died'away. He found her standing alone near the musicians, and as ht; advanced with a smile of greeting she looked at him with a strange expression. "No, Mr. Holton," she said, "we mustn't; it is best not." "Best not what?" Holton stopped short and regarded her with a look of Amazement. "Best not dance, really," she said. Holton almost glared at her. "And why not, please?" he asked stiffly. The girl stepped impulsively forward and placed her hand on his arm. "Ah, don't," she said. "It is for the •beet, I tell you. Now, please excuse me/' "Don't you care to dance with me?" Holton looked at her curiously. The girl's lip drooped just a bit, *nd with that sign of weakness she was lost, for Holton's strong arm stole about her waist and the next Instant •be was out on the floor with him. "Oh/' she gasped, "why did you?" "Because I wanted to," replied Holton simply. "Oh, I knew you thought 1 was a bad dancer and were trying to wriggle out, but I'll show you I am not at all bad." She had already discovered that fact, and, abandoning herself to the sheer joy of the dance, relaxing slightly in his arms, she suffered herself to be guided about the floor. After the dance Holton led her to a secluded corner and sat down beside her. "That waa great," he exclaimed. "Permit me to say you dance wonder* fully well." "And you, too," she said. "But why—" She interrupted him by tapping him with her fan. "Don't, please!" she pleaded. 1 'Holton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he said. He took her card. 'The next dance is ours," he added. "Why did you come here tonight?" •be asked. "Why—why—because I wanted to dance," he answered. "1 thought," she began slowly, "I thought that perhaps there might be another reason for your coming." Holton started back In bis chair. Surely there was another reason, but this girl had driven that "other reason" completely out of his mind. The thought occurred to him that he was not out out to be a mervelous detect s * ' "What are you smiling at?" she asked. "You live near Santiago?" he asked. She threw a swift glance at him. i "Yes," she answered. "I have never been there, but it must be a wonderful country." "The most beautiful in the world.** -She threw her head back proudly. "Tell me about it," went on Holton. "Ite yen Hve inthe cityr "No, father has an estate In the hills on the way to Cuabltas.

"Mr. Holton," she said, "believe me sincerely when I say to you that I must go now. I promised father I would leave at one o'clock, and you see now that it is after one." Holton got up with a gesture of deprecation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish it, nor did she attempt to draw it way. "If you ever hear anything concerning me—now or In the future, will you withhold judgment until—until you ask me about it and have me explain?" "I promise," replied Holton. There was a faint pressure on his fingers, a bright smile, and the next instant he was standing alone. As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about, Holton was confronted by a thick-set man in evening dress. "A very charming girl, Mr. Holton," observed the stranger. Holton flushed angrily. "And who are you?" he asked bluntly. "My name is Harper," was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way, do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?" "Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh, yes." But Holton suddenly realized how little he did know. "How well do you know Miss La Tossa?" the other asked suddenly. "Oh, a mere acquaintance; recent," answered Holton. "Did you know that that young woman has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?" "Rest of what?" demanded Holton eagerly. "Rest of the spies, of course." Holton thought a moment and then there recurred to him the girl's parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future, will you withhold Judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain?" And he had promised. Well, he would make good his word. He would have her explain. He turned to the Secret Service man beside him. "What you have said is very interesting," he said. "In good time I may have supplementary information." "Don't tell me you didn't know this all the while?" smiled the detective. "I'm telling nothing," and Holton turned away. CHAPTER III. A Broken Promise. While Holton was making up his mind to ask Miss La Tossa several questions, her father began to do that very thing without, apparently, wait* Ing to make up his mind, as soon aB the two were within the little anteroom of their hotel suite. "Carita!" he expostulated. "You did not attend this dance to flirt?" She laughed. "Father, and how could I help it? He was such—such a corker." The senor raised his hands heavenward and looked at his daughter in mock dismay. "Agreed, then, he was a corker. I am glad to know that. It is really valuable information. But now tell me was he such a corker that you forgot to ascertain that for which you attended this ball? Was he in reality Lieutenant Holton?" "Oh, yes, he was." "Well, then, what about the Scorpion?" "Why, I—I did not recall that you—" The candor which was naturally a part of the girl's nature asserted itself, "Father, ho was so fascinating that I forgot all about the Scorpion." "So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his shoulders.. "There was very small doubt that he really was Lieutenant Holton," he wont on. "Several of my man recognised him. But what was really important was why ho loft the torpedo boat, and having dono so, what became of the boat. That was what I really wished to know, and what you easily could hare learned. I am sorry you have failed me." ? "I am sorry I disappointed you, but, father, I hate the Spaniards—I am Cuban born, and I hate thorn because they have boos so cruel" Her eyes flashed. T have disowned Satin," "Mr ozonator I" oioisimed the fattor siiarnty. ^. "l onnaot bolp it, tabs*. Have ws net soon wosaoa ttarvtac with their babies at their dry breasts? Have we not seen men fighting for the bones we have thrown from our baskets? Have we not eeen murder after murder in cold blood?" "That i-> why I have been aiming to obtain the governorship," said the father, "and how are you helping me? Not by such language. That Is what you have to consider." Another thing, my daughter, I have heard that you are becoming too closely affiliated with certain groups of Cuban plotters— you know who I mean. I forbid that absolutely." The girl blazed at him with dilated eyes. "You have heard what?"-she asked. "I have heard enough to make it seem my duty to have you sent back to Santiago—to the estate. You are a girl—you are young, and I am sorry to .have to say that you are also a trifle foolteh. You will therefore sail on the Ward liner Saturday with your aunt." "Very well, father; it shall be as you wish. There will be war, you think?" "There is no doubt as to that. The drift of this government is easily read." "And then—" "Cuba will never be taken. We shall plan no war of aggression. We shall wait to be taken—but that never shall come to pass." "You say that!" The girl regarded him closely. "The United States is a great nation." "Yes, but not a warlike one. Our soldiers uphold the traditions of the Cld; the blood of war flows in their veins. It is inconceivable that the arms of a nation so rich in military history, so filled with annals of achievement and of conquest both on land and sea, should succumb to a nation whose shrines are dollar-marks and whose gods are profit and loss. Remember, until my return to Santiago, you are to remain at the estate." He paused and took a paper from his pocket. "And between now and Saturday," he added, adjusting his glasses, "you will avoid Senores Perez. Pedrajas, Montez, Cassajara, and Castro." The daughter cast a swift glance at her father, and then let her eyeB fall to the floor. "You see," he continued, "I am tolerably familiar with what has been going on. My position here, Ranee, is one of dignity. I am not a spy, I am not a diplomatic emissary. When "Father, I Hats the Spaniards." relations of diplomacy are broken I shall have no further business hero. But you—you are different You have been played upon by a group of seat ots whoso cause is not only against the country of my birth, but also against the United States. Than ho kissed nor good night and went into his room to enjoy, a muchneeded rest For some time she sat tn her apart ment, thinking; finally she sat down and wrote the following letter: "Father Dear: "Forgive me, hut I cannot keep that promise. I cannot. Before you awake I shall have gone to Key West, perhaps. From, there I shall go to Son* t&sjpo as you wished, whero, if you havo not disowned mo I shall await you at our home." Sho, smiled as she wrote tfcftn, know* lac that however angry how father might be, love for her, his spoiled darling, would utterly prevail. "In the meantime you will receive daily messages from me, telling you I am well. Adios. "Your loving RANEE." Enclosing fhe note in an envelope, she addressed it, placed it on a desk in the anteroom, put on a coat, concealed her face with a heavy veil, and went out of the hotel. Early next morning Holton set out for his audience with the assistant secretary. "Well, what did you learn?" was the smiling greeting he received from his superior. Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as Holton told his story, but when he had concluded he leaned forward. "Well, how do you like detective work?" "I fear I am not a detective, Mr. Secretary. I think I have demonstrated that." "Ahem, I don't know, Mr. Holton. I tell you, it was more or less of a whim of mine, sending you to the ball. I had hoped you might meet a Miss La Tos€a. In fact I had requested a Secret Service man to bring you two together." Holton started. "Oh," he said, "I did meet her." Holton proceeded to recount his experiences with the girl, beginning with the incident of th« waiter and the gold-mesh bag and ending with his dance and his Interview with the detective. "Well,'' responded Mr. Roosevelt, "you have done exactly as I might have wished you to do, and, having done this, It is my desire that you cultivate her acquaintance assiduously and report to me whenever you learn anything that may appear valuable." He noticed the blank face of the officer. "What is the matter?" he asked. "But, Mr. Secretary, I cannot spy upon her—she is my friend. Why," he cried warmly, "she's the finest girl you ever met!" "Why, my dear Holton, cannot you see? She was spying upon you." "I cannot see how she was doing that," protested Holton. "She made no attempt—" "Well, see here, Mr. Holton, you have established your acquaintance. Now, then, I ask you this: If you discover in the course of your friendship with her that she is working to injure our country, will you take steps to prevent her doing so and to ajpprise me as to the facts?" "I am under oath to the United States, sir." "Well, then, that Is all I ask. You are ordered hereby to pursue your acquaintance with this young woman to that end." "Yes, sir," replied Holton. "I suppose then that I shall remain in Washington some time." "No, Mr. Holton, you'll not be in Washington long. Miss La Tossa left for Tampa this morning." Holton started to his feet. "And I'm to follow her?" "Yes, at once, please. You had better arrange about transportation and the like immediately." "Thank you, sir." Holton did not hear the laughter that followed his outburst of gratitude, or at least he paid no attention to it For the one thought that filled his mind was that he was going to some heavenly place where his dance part* ner of the night before was to be. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Writers of Historic Songo. Most of the songs that have mads history were written by men who had no other claim to Immortality. The "Marseillaise" is the only production of Rouget de Lisle which has survived, and "The Wearing of the Green" was the work of an anonymous purveyor of ballads for the street hawkers of Dublin, M M Bchneckon* burger, an obscure Swabian merchant who never published anything also, composed in 1840 some verses of which the burden was thus translated: F"Diremar s tFaantdh etrhlyan sdo,n sn oto d wanagtcehr tthhien eR. hine."

One hundred years ago Napoleon met the army of the allies at Brlenne, a village in northeastern Franco, and was victorious after a keenly-contested battle. The emperor had left Paris ouly two days before, prepared to make a last desperate effort to halt the advance of the enemy on the French capital and thereby save his tottering throne. The allied Hssolan and Prussian armies were in command of Marshal Blucher. Napoleon's torses were in a deplorable condition. At Brlenne, it is true, his old sokfters displayed prodigies of courage, In his name and under his orders, but the raw conscripts were discontented and many of them deserted <• their colors. Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to the fact that he came up to Bmeher when the latter was separated from a part of his forces. Prince Schwartzenberg, in command of the Austrian forces, Immediately set out for the purpose of supporting the Priismtena, and the combined armies of the allies recommenced their advance 0* Paris. Gate of Tears. The straits Babelmandeb, the passage from the Persian Gulf ^ato the Red Sea, are called by the Arabs the "Gate of Tears." These etvaste are very dangerous in rough weather.

A few years ago some members of the Austrian Speleological society discovered in the Dachsteln mountains some caverns which are among the largest in Europe. One of these grottoes, the longitudinal axis of which is fully 6,500 feet long, moreover turned out to offer additional interest by its truly enormous ice masses and was found to be the largest known Icecnve in the world Though a scorching sun may be burning outside on the bare mountain rock, there is always an icy wind blowing through this underworld, freezing everything within Its reecte Only sometimes, when the outside temperature ranges between 82 and 41 degrees-CX and a comparatively warm rain penetrates through the fis sores of the rock, entering right into the cavern, will there be a temporary calm and distinct meltmg of the ice. The Dachsteln ice cave comprise* several domes filled with ice, which communicate.with one another throuph a number of frozen galleries. An ice crevice 89 feet deep and 116 feet In width traverses the floor of the cavern 165 feet from the entrance. Gigantic Ice pillars were found to tower on both edges of this chasm, in the depth of which there unfolds a fairy-llke ice scenery. Beyond the abyss the cavern * widens out into a mighty dome fTM* tan dome, as it is called), where o plain ice sheet reaches from ode wall to tbe other, carrying Ice stalagmite* of the most fantastic shapes.—Scien tlfic American.
