Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, March 5, 1914 No. 10 ^ An Excellent Program The program rendered by the members of the Pinckney school under the auspices of the Glee Glub last Friday afteruoon in xxmmenoratiou of the lives of Washington, Lincoln and Longtellow W88 one which reflected £f#|t cjedit on both the work of the-pupils and that of the teachers who trained them. The etercises consisted of singing, select readings and drills. Each and every one did their part unusually well. Not a break occnred in the afternoon's entertainment.* The auditorium was decorated with the various class colors and Here's A Live One In Youugatowu, Ohio, lives a grocer with a personality. He is an advertising grocer, who writes his own advertisements, and some of them are unique. Here is a recent one; "Some of you people give me a pain about the high cost of living. .You dou't know any more about it than my kid, nine months old. All she knows is to throw my watch on the floor, pull my hair and coax me for pennies to buy candy. "Have the most up-to-date poultry farm in the country.

The work also showed efirfence of the careful training of acorp of competent teachers now employed in the pinckney schools. The only regret o^ the afternoon, expressed by Professor Doyle, in his audregs of welcome, was that mere men were not found present at a gathering^ that kind. He also said that his work along educational linea^SSl made him an ardent believferin Woman's Suffrage.

The Old System The following was taken from an exchange and we suppose they looked up the law in the matter before publishing it and found it to be correct: A law passed by the last legislature gives the farmers of any township an opportunity to go back to the old method of "working out" their road tax, if a majority of them so desire, instead of paying the tax in cash. It provides that the matter can be voted upon at the regular township meeting and if a majority of the freeholders in the township express a desire to return to the old system, their wish must be respected. The only action required to bring the matter to a vote is a petition signed by at least twelve of the taxpayers interested. This petition must be presented to the township board a sufficient length of time previous to the election and it then becomes the dnty of the township officials to prepare the necessary ballots and submit the question at the regular township meeting. No person not a taxpayer can vote on the question, nor can any person who is a resident of any corporate village within the township. As a good many fanners are sp^ing of 1845 and lived here un-not exactly pleased with the preetil March 1^52.

They are all what the. Wall Kreet clerk would call "robes;" they are "hay-seeds/' They are farmers— who, as you know, must not be confused with agriculturists. When we think of American banks and bankers we' think of the buildings which have the finest fronts in town and of the men who also put up the finest fronts. We think of shrewd tellers who never tell anything; of cashiers who are constantly upos^he point of refusing cash to those who need it most; of boards of directors who oft In softly carpeted rooms on upholstered chairs, around polished-.. Circassian walnut tables. The IriBh bankers we nave Just seen wore mud-bespattered clothtes. They t sat In a nine? floored room, on rough chairs, around* a'rough * table upon which a smoking, smelling kerosene lamp cast a dim light that was almost a shadow. Business Before History. In our search for all that is good In rural organization, we landed last night in Limerick. Limerick is a mighty interesting city, founded by the Danes a thousand years ago; a city which Cromwell's forces could not enter until the plague and starvation had conquered the defenders who couM not be conquered by the sword; a city which in 1690 withstood a siege by King William, who was baffled because the women of the city fought with the men; a city whence came the wild geese who flew from Ireland to Spain and other southern lands so they might indulge their warlike tastes which could no longer be exercised in Ireland. But Just now more important than historic Limerick is the modern village of Foynes with its egg marketing society and its farm credit association. So to Foynes we came this afternoon, through a driving rain over 30 miles of the fine Irish roadways which a day's heavy rainfall can only soften into slight slipperiness. Wo are under the guidance of A. M. Riddle, an organizer and inspector of cooperative societies, employed by the Irish Agricultural Organization society; a bright, eager, energetic, tactful Irishman who, after long Btudy and years of hard work in cooperative societies throughout Europe, knows co-operation from A to Z. Farmers Who Are Bankers, At seven o'clock on this rainy night we found six of the seven members of the loan committee assembled in the village clubhouse. Here are six shrewd but kindly Irish gentlemen who know .their business thoroughly. Some of them have driven miles through rain and wind. All are serving without pay. One is the manager of a little sawmill, previously, a school teacher; another ts an intelligent ex* member of the Royal Irish constabulary; one operates successfully a large rented farm; one is a raiser of blooded horses; one Is a sharp-tongued but, at heart, good nstured farmer, who Is evidently a believer In discreet kindliness concealed under apparent harshness; one Is a clerk in a mercantile establishment. The secretary is a retired school teacher with a good working knowledge of accounting and business methods. How They Work. The inspector had previously looked over all the books and accounts and had made memoranda of transactions which needed explanation and of -delinquencies calling for comment Some of the cases called will serve as illustrations of the character of the loans made as well as of the method of inspection employed. They are Illustrative also of the attitude of the committee toward the borrower. John O'Brien had taken four years in which to repay a loan of 12 pounds. The books showed that immediately upon the repayment of this first loan another loan had been made to him. To the inspector the second loanseemed a loan to enable the borrower to repay th*e previous loan, and consequently unwise and contrary to the rules. The committee showed, however, that the man's slowness in repaying the first loan was due to sickness and hard luck. Then the interesting fact appeared that the second loan was given to enable the borrower to send a bright, fouiteen-yesMtd'Mfi to~ss*o**> fss> the purpose, of Np^sr qus^fylaf^hlm as a wage-earner. The plan had succeeded. The boy had been at*sdhoot eight months, had done #etl,*titift secured a position, and was now so situated that he could assist, and was assisting, In the repayment of the loan. The inspector, on understanding the purpose, of the second loan, Indorsed it as a perfectly legitimate one, and sanctioned the action of the committee. As to another case, one of the members said: "He's all right; he is going to be married, and it's a fine girl he gets and a bit of money, about 75 pounds she'll bring him, too, and that will help to pull him through and make the payments." Of another delinquent a member •aid: "A sister ws* a long time ailing, and after a long sickness she died, poor child. He's a fine boy, honest as the day Is long. He's a decent fellow. We can't crowd him. He's bad a .herd time. He'SHJoing all he can, atid will pay as Bare as the sun rises." f I Buying Pig*.. ! Of another case the inspector sai^i: "Here'B a guard on the train who borrowed money from us for the purchase" of p'filV^e hasn7! ttmftlo tend hogs, has he?" Back came the reply: "Sure, any of us that has a wife and a home can keep pigs if he wants to. It's as easy to keep pigs as it is to keep a home at all." It appeared, however, that no pigs had been bought by the train guard; that a relative had bought pigs, presumably with the money borrowed. There was no danger at all as to the repayment of the loan, the sureties being good. Fraud had been practiced, however, and the committee were not at all complacent about their part in the matter, feeling they had been too easy in making the loan. This particular brakeman would have a poor chance If he ever asked for another loan. And so the committee proceeded sympathetically considering each individual case, deciding each upon its own merits, irrespective of what are considered in America to be general banking rules. It must be borne in mind that the cases referred to were a few delinquents among a very large number which were promptly settled. What Money Is Used For. Many of the loans had been for the purchase of seeds and manures in the previous spring. Some of the members had purchased pigs; sometimes a cow was secured. One had bought a horse, one had built a cow shed. On the whole the rule that loans could be made only tor productive and economic use was well observed. "It's hard to crowd the boys," laid one of the-members. "Ah, that's'the trouble with us Irish," replied the inspector. "But good business means good business, although it is hard to be harsh at all." South of Ireland temperaments were not altogether convinced that harshness was wisdom, and the answer came back: "Did you ever know of harshness to be any good at all?" Some Harshness Necessary. The inspector, who, in our previous conversation with him, had seemed the most easy tempered young man, developed a considerable severity when appearing before the committee. He kept insisting that the delinquent debtors must be dealt with more harshly and in a more business-like way. In several cases he advised Immediate legal proceedings unless something was done. He told them that unless good business methods prevailed a new committee must be appointed or thgt the society would get Into trouble and would be closed out. The attitude was more or less for effect upon the committee. The man raised in this section of Ireland is so soft-hearted-that he cannot be harsh in his own matters, and it is indeed difficult for him to be businesslike when business-like methods involve harshness. The committee took the situation seriously to heart, however, and the words of the inspector had their effect for they promised that more business-like methods would prevail in the. future. Good Business Methods. The inspector had not only full knowledge of co-operative concerns, but was evidently in addition a skilled accountant, and pointed out why the books must be kept according to the uniform system of accounts recommended by the Irish Agricultural OrgaalaatiOB^ soeieiy.r A must searching annual audit of accounts is also required performed by either an offifclsl'pubTlc auditor appointed under the* friendly Societies* act -ST by persons selected by the joNMabers at the annual meeting.' ,Jpverywhere *as herej and accounting methods are. employ dtTano^hat «WefuT= audita sue insisted upon and considered necessary to the success of these societies. If there is any lack of these qualifications in the farmers who are the bankers, the lack te~sup»UesV by the I. A. O. S. through their inspectors and auditors. Farmers Can -Be Good^ Bankers. We came somewhat doubting whether a farmer could be a banker. We Ko away convinced that the farmer, if assisted by good supervision and inspection, can be at once a good business man and a kindly neighbor. Here in this Foynes society is a committee of business men who" are willing to come together to consider loans of the most trivial amounts and to meet periodically and discuss methods of bringing more money into the little community tp be loaned out to those needing it. They are ready to go over all the petty troubles and trials and misfortunes of the unfortunate borrower, to discuss ways and means of helping the weaker brother pay his debt. These men are In fact bearing the burdens of an entire community so far as the small business difficulties are concerned. All are most anxious to see every farmer able to buy good seed, good manures, good stock and to improve the position of himself and family, yet equally anxious to protect the funds of the bank. It is a question whethter the board of directors of any big financial house who sit in richly upholstered chairs around Circassian wfclnut tablee ever more efficiently discharged the duties of bank directors than have this group of mud-bespattered farmers sitting in cheap wooden chairs around this pine table. One Man One Vote. This co-operative banking association at Foynes is under the absolute control of the farmers hereabouts. This control is not centered in a few rich members who have furnished the capital. Each member has one vote, irrespective of his investment. There Is no massing of votes in the hands of those who have the most money In the concern. Here men carry the voting power, not money. The co-operative Idea is essentially democratic. Experience shows that no other system succeeds. For one man to possess twice as much power as his neighbor renders an association no longer truly co-operative. Before this principle was recognized, when one I or two members might out-vote 100 members, more than one co-operative ; effort went to pieces. The average farmer member is poor. He has never handled money. He may never have made a loan. He knows nothing of banking forms, of bank bookkeeping, of the legal rights of borrowers Or of lenders. He is an easy-going, good-hearted Irishman. Men of this type control and make up the loan committee, which must pass on loans, enforce collections and decide on all minor'questions relating to the policy of the organization. How can such members be good hankers? In America it takes shrewd, welltrained business men to make a bank succeed. They., know more of bank accounting than do accountants. They know aa much of banking law as do lawyers. They have by long study of their subject become familiar with every phase of it. How then can these happy-go-lucky Irish farmers become successful financiers? The answer, or the biggest part of the answer, is that the Irish Agricultural Organization society has a beneficent supervision over them snd furnishes them with the qualifications which they lack. Interview With Doctor McCarthy. Notwithstanding all that co-operative credit has done for Ireland, it still has a lack, says Doctor McCarthy. The small tenant farmer has had ample provisions made for him by the government for the purchase of his home. Small farmers, through credit' assocations, have ample opportunities of obtaining small loans for productive purposes. What Ireland most needs now, however, is a system of loans by which the owners of the larger, estates may secure finds with which to make their estate productive and profitable. The owners of the big estates are all in need of money. They are as poor, in a sense, as the poorest tenant farmers. The worst farming in all Ireland is sometimes found upon the largest estates. These farmers find it difficult to obtain a large loan, at a low rate of interest, on long time, with privileges of amortisation payments, such as will enable them to use money for the gradual upbuilding of the productiveness of the farm. If it were possible here to borrow money upon mortgages of this description as It is In Germany, in France, in Italy and even in Russia, th«<rursi*porttons of Ireland would advance much more rapidly. America can safely adopt the Irish system of short time personal loans, but we should Shelve in addition something like the OSrman Landschaften banks for larger lonsrtlm* loans.

I PINCKNEY DISPATCH i ^ U1 ' r± I PERE MARQUETTE RAILROAD NEED8 MONEY FOR NEW EQUIPMENT. W A N T S TO ISSUE BONDS REFUNDING $12,614,894. Judge Tuttle Gives Receivers Sixty Days to Arrange Plan for New Financing,—Alio Default of Interest Due March 1. SOLICITOR Of STATE DEPARTMENT TO CHANGE Detroit.—Urgency of the Pere Marquette Railroad company's need for money to purchase new equipment and to meet various obligations and indebtedness other than those resulting from bond. issues is emphasized in two developments. which came to light. Authoritative announcement was made that, Receivers Frank A. Blair, Dudley # Waters and ,S, .M.. Feltpn are preparing to submit to the United States court a petition asking authorization, to. issue receivers' refunding certificates to an amount which will include, sufficient funds to care for obligations aggregating $12,614,- 894.24. The second development is an order issued by Judge A. J. Tuttle in the United States court directing the receivers to omit payment of interest due March 1 on $260,000 of outstanding first mortgage 5 per cent bonds of the Grand Rapids, Beldrag & Saginaw railroad, one of the constituent properties of the Pere Marquette. As all mortgages securing obligations, of the Pere Marquette embody a stipulation that 60 days shall be alkrwed in which to pay interest on which default is made, that period at least is given the receivers in which to arrange for new financing, plains for which are understood to be now under consideration. "tt any unscrambling of the Pere Marquette system is to be done, the initiative,, will be taken by holders of the mortgages on the original railroads which make up the component parti of the system," said Judge Tuttle when asked regarding a rumor that his order might lead to dissolution of the troubled railway organisation. "My action in ordering that interest on bonds be withheld was intended to keep the road as an integral whole. I have been insisting that the interest on the 832,000,- 000 original mortgages be paid first, so that these creditors may be satisfled, but if the road is unable to meet these obligations, it is possible that the holders will attempt to obtain a dissolution. It remains for them to decide whether they prefer their individual'line as it existed prior to 1910, or as part of the Pere Marquette system. BELIEVE MAN WAS MURDERED. Evidence Found That Botsfield Wat Not Killed In Fire. South Branch, Mich.—That Charles Botsfield, 61, the farmer who waa reported to have been burned to death Wednesday when flre destroyed his barn was murdered is the belief of Sheriff A. O. Guilford and Prosecuting Attorney O. A. Bennett, who visited the Botsfield home Friday.

Botsfleld's arms were extended, his legs drawn back and the top'of his skull was missing. His .lantern lay about two feet in front of him and a pocketbook and knife near by. The path to the house was sprinkled with blood patches and on the back steps were marks that lead to the belief that he waa dragged from his house to the barn, where the murderer, in order to destroy the evidence of his guilt set lire to the structure, hoping that his victim would be consumed. In Botsfleld's bedroom were many evidences of a crime. Everything is smeared witb blood. Fine gunshot was found imbedded in the wall and two bloody gun wads behind the bed. Blood had been partially wiped from the floor, but-tracks of it were seen in the cracks. Outside, tracks led from the house in many directions.

Nearly half of the time there were running sores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a-time before ^hey were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the,great suffering. The sores were deep running ones and BO sore that I could hot bear for anything—to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, It was Jalways so sensitive to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it. The. skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white felt, blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape. This I wore night and day. "I tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect. Last summer I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The very.first time I used Cuticura Soap and bint* ment I gained relief;.they relieved the pain right the,n.

At two o'clock the Gnat was just making a wide turn at the end of the •tip, preparatory to proceeding up the Use, when Holton saw against the blackness a deeper black—something that seemed to move. J It was out in the bay, perhaps two* hundred yards. As he lowered his head, straining his eyes Into the sable curtain, he found he had lost whatever he had seen. Perhaps his Imagination had played* him false. But no, that could not be. for In his first glance he remembered' that some stars on the horizon had been blotted out by the object. That certainly waa suggestive of Its tangibility. Holton went to the little bridge, and, pointing out the spot where he had last seen the moving blot on the night, ordered the On at to head in that direction at half-speed. For five minutes the little craft proceeded out into the bay, and then aud> denly Holton made out clearly the outlines of a small tugboat, with a skiff in tow. "Heave to, or HI fire!" cried Holton. • Still no reply, but the propeller of the tug could be heard churning the water In excess speed. Without further word, Holton snatched the rifle from the sailor's hand, took quick aim. and let dive. A* a response, there came five shots in rapid succession from the tug, the bullets rattling' through the Gnat's funnel and ventilators. Fall >P««4 ahead!" cried Holton, in full exaltation at hearing for the first time the whistle of bullets discharged in anger. "Right into her," ha added, forgetful of hit boat's "tin bow"—"run her down!" When within a hundred feet the Onat sheered off, made a detour, and rounded to In front of the tug's bow. "Stop!" yelled Holton. leveling the rifle. "Stand by that machine gun," he added in a low tone to the man at his side. The tug stopped abruptly, but not a sound came from her. "What boat Is thatr called Holton. No reply, As the bow of the torpedo boat rasped against the fenders of the stranger, Holton, his pistol in hand, leaped over her guards to the deck. Three of his men followed. Then, as though by magic, shadowy forms arose. A dark figure moved swiftly at Holton's side, and as his revolver biased in the man's face, he felt the sharp Impact of a weighted club upon his shoulder. Another man seised him from behind, and in an instant the deck was the scene of a wild hand-to-hand fight Holton felled his foe with a revolver end then turned to the ssslatsnoe of one of hia semmen, beset by two men. Revolvers were banging on all sides, wildly, as it appeared to Holton, for he caught fleeting glimpses of his three sen fighting as American sailormen In a flash of light Holton saw a man bending at the stern. In his hand was the match whence the flash had cose. The officer darted swiftly toward hlsn. He saw a sputter of sparks. Quick as thought he turned. "Men of the Onat, overboard!" he roared.' ''Dynamite. Suiting action to his words, he dived swiftly into the dark waters, and the next instant the Port of Tampa was startled by en exploefo* which shattered the windows of the hotel and brought thousands rushing out into! the •*is r, «* Eton's first thought: as soon kk hia. head emerged above the water, ws)f ft* of hianoaiUon, which fss> innately was not ten yard* from-that occupied by toe Goat. He ttade her in several strokes, and waa fished over the side by a sailor. The man at the wheel had lighted a red flare, and by thia means the other three men In the water were guided to their vessel. Beyond a few bruises, all were uninjured. In the meantime Holton waa not too busy to notice that the explosion had thrown the harbor into wild confusion. Rowboats were everywhere, having sprung on the water aa though by magic, and the decks of the transports were alive with figures. Search-lights were flashing in every direction; and men's voices arose in a babel of confusion. As soon as practicable Holton changed his water-soaked clothing and went ashore, leaving the Gnat to continue her patrol. There was little doubt In his mind that the men in the vessel were bent on the destruction of the transports; that the explosives aboard her were to be placed under the sterns of a dozen or more of the steamships, and then set off by a single electric spark. Holton believed that the tug had gone as near to the slip aa she intended to go when he discovered her, and that further operations were to have been conducted from the row boat towing astern. Dawn was approaching as Holton waited for the Onat to make her inshore turn, and ai the light was now filtering across the heavens he followed his usual custom of putting out of the bay for a look at things on the open water. The air of the morning, fresh and cool, blew against his face and filled him with Inspiration. Today the transports would leave for Cuba, his period of nightly grind would end, and be, too, would start for the battle-ground; for in his pocket were orders to report to Admiral Sampson for further instructions the moment the transports were safely off the Cuban coast And then—? No such furor as attended their previous sallies from port marked their departure this time. The ardent public had grown a bit weary of successive good-bys, and remained away from the water-front, so that the only eclat that marked the occasion waa furnished by the soldiers themselves. Holton, trailing along In the little Inat, viewed with Joyous eyes the scene spread before him, and truly it was one remarkable la many ways. Over seven miles of water stretched the fleet, the transports steaming In long, stately line, flanked by grim, leadenhued torpedo boats . and gunboats, which flew here and there, megaphoning orders to the transport. On the third day, Romano Key and the blue mountains were raised to starboard. On June to the fleet was off the Cuban coast, twenty miles from Santiago. Here the Seguranca, the headquarters ship, steamed away from the other transports, and went up toward Aserraderoa, Holton, Jkardly knowing; what was up, following- his instructions not to lose this vessel, steamed after her and eventually made out the mouse-colored bulk of the New York, flagship of Sampson's squadron. Mindful of his orders to report to the commander-tn-chitf as soon as the transports were off the coast, Holton put the Onat under full headway, and soon lay alongside the war-ship's gangway. He knew most of the company aboard her, and was warmly welcomed as he went up thi ladder. Presently an orderly returned with a summons for Holton. Sampson was standing by a table aa Holton entered and saluted. The young officer had never seen him before, and he viewed with great and kindling interest this grave man with his thoughtful fore* head, his steady, scholarly blue* eyas, his white beard and mustache. The admiral looked at Holton for a moment, and then hs said: "Mr. Holton, I fear I am about to aak you to undertake a dangerous mission." CHAPTER VII. I rt the tylght Hours. Holton smiled! gamely. "I am ready, sir." The admiral Bedded and paced thoughtfully up down his cabin few 4 moment "In a few moments,* be said at length, ^ , am. going over to dor *'-.'•.' i- ' • * * - i > i . Seguranea to meat Genera! Shatter. From there we saaR land at Aserraderos to meet General Garcia and discuss several matters, including a landing- place for the army. You will accompany me and meet the Cubans." He paused. "Very good, sir." replied Holton, "When we return you will not return with us. You will remain with the Cubans. You will be introduced, not as a naval officer, hut as the correspondent of an English newspaper. Of course you must change your uniform" "Yes, sir." "While you are with the Cubans It is particularly desirable that you further the investigations you have made already along the lines of Cuban plots against our troops, but, above all, I should consider your service most valuable If you could work your way Into Santiago and determine by whatever means the plans of the Spanish fleet. "If any information comes to you and you are unable to reach the flagship, I shall expect you to signal from any height within sight of my vessel. I shall have a man detailed, beginning tomorrow, to watch for any signals of the sort from you. Do you quite understand everything I have said?" "Yes, sir." "Very well. If you have time to change your clothing aboard, the Gnat and join our landing party at the Segurahca, we'll take you ashore with us. Otherwise you can go ashore In your dingey and meet us there." Holton saluted, paused a moment as the admiral seemed about to speak, and then as the commander, with hie half-weary air, turned to. a sheaf of correspondence, Holton left the cabin and was soon on his way to the Gnat. Here he changed his white uniform coat for a canvas shooting-jacket, his white trousers for a pair of khaki breeches and leggins, and, throwing his cap into a corner, took In Its place a felt campaign hat of the Marine Corps. Around his waist he strapped a Colt Ailed the belt with bullets, and then went up on deck. He saw the admiral's gig bounding toward the headquarters transport, and was on the point of proceeding to her himself when upon second thought he ordered the seaman at the oars to take him ashore. The tide wss low, and the landing waa made without difficulty in a beautiful bay. Holton took a pipe from his pocket and dismissing the dingey, sat down to wait The time waa not long, for within half an hour the officer saw several four-oarded gigs rounding the stern of the transport and making shore- He Wved Bwfftly. ward. As he arose a low whistle sound* ed In the manlgua behind him, and as though by magic two lines of Cuban soldiers appeared, the officers quite smartly attired, but the men ragged and unkempt All stood rigid as the white longboat, with Admiral Sampson la his spotless duck uniform and Shatter with his garb of blue and gold, approached the shorn. As soon ss the landing was made the officers were placed on animals brought to carry them, and the trip through the manlgua jungle, and Whence up the monataln trail to Garde's camp began. It was a hot, b> neadejaarters of tne Cuban which consisted of a hut of grass. The conference began at once< white the men passed among the visitors-refreshing cups of coconut ml^k* together, with mangoes and pineapples. Decision as to the places moat suitable for landing having been made, the Americans prepared to return to their vessels. Bugles sounded, the' half-starved soldiers lined the trail once more, and the procession started upon its descent. As Admiral Sampson was about to leave he turned to Garcia as though Ktruck by sudden thought and placed his hand on Holton's shoulder. "Mr. Ogilve, of the London Standard, who has been with me, wishes to view a part at least of this campaign from the Cuban standpoint, and I promised him I should speak to you. Can you take him for-awhile?" Garcia regarded Holton with penetrating black eyes and then bowed slightly. "I should be most happy to have him With ue," he smiled. "I am afraid our fare will be most humble and our life without even the little comforts one expect* in war." "Oh. I'm sure Mr. Ogilve will ndt object.? r',? '""•-• ' "Thank you, not at all," Holtonmterjected. He produced a batch of credentials which had been handed him by the admlrel'alafte en hour, or l^;1>ef*rf,,,and gave them tcOetteral Gareli*. - '• The Cuban, however, declines} to examine them, returning than! with an air of winning politeness. That night In,a Cuban camp, with the stars overhead, Holton sat with General Garcia and his officers and listened with quick sympathy while Garcia told of his imprisonment by the Spaniards ten years before, and of the sufferings and cruelties which eventually led him to shoot himself in the head in an effort to end it all. His release and the long fight for the freedom of his country sounded like a romance. And now, after all the discouragements and all the travail he had thia day entertained high officers of a nation greater than Spain, who had come here to assist in the cause so dear to him. "Mr. Ogilve," he Said, "I feel tonight that I have not lived in vain. The end is now near. I have prayed I might some day see this. Now my prayers have been answered." Holton nodded with great sympathy, and thereafter his attitude towards this war underwent a change. Formerly his spirit, like that of many of his brother officers, had been one of aloofness, so far as Cuba was immediately concerned. It was the war Itself, the chances of glory, the prospects for quick promotion, the opportunities for putting into practice that which they had learned, which had carried the great appeal, the cause of Cuba remaining very much in the abstract. Now Holton saw the situation in a different light He could feel intimately that he was engaged in a work for humanity; that he waa to be one of those who were to be concerned in actively bringing into the world a new nation. Then, filled with the heaviness of the climate, he spread his blanket upon a bed of boughs, and lulled by the sighing of the leaves, he closed his eyes and was soon asleep. He must hsve slumbered an hour, when he awoke suddenly. Ordinarily he was a sound sleeper, and he knew that his awakening waa due to some outward cause. He lay for a moment wondering, and then the sound of low voices gave him the cause of his rousing. A glance toward General Garcla's quarters revealed to him the figure of that soldier, gating thoughtfully into a small fire. A second glance showed that the old soldier waa conversing with an officer whom he had not noticed before. Holton wound himself snugly in his blanket and was about to fall asleep when a sentence arrested his mind and brought him wide awake. "X do not ask you, general, what your convictions as to the United States are. I tell you merely what circumstances may arise and ask you what you would do in that event" Garcia shook his head slowly. 1 decline to discuss improbabilities, or rather impossibilities," he answered. T h e United States has acted nobly, and will so continue to act" (TO B« CONTINUED.) ' * m : ggg Breakage.

Of course, the first year he only got feed from the cropB, but the second year had 100 acres in wheat which made over 2,800 bushels. He has not had a failure in crop, and at present has 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs, and owns 1,120 acres of land, all under cultivation. He has been offered $35 an acre for his land, and should he care to dispose of his holdings he could pay all his debts and have $30,- 000 to the good; but, as he says, "Where could I go to Invest my money and get as good returns." He continues in his letter to the Immigration department, August 1912: "We have equally as good if not better prospects for crops this year as we had three years ago, when our wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax and run three binders with four men to do the stooking.

Stanley, the explorer, landed In New Oreans, he was a barefooted boy. He applied at one of the newspaper offices for a job ai errand-boy, according to the Star Monthly. The manager, Impressed by his alertness, engaged him for night duty; then, observing his barefeet said; "Run home and put on ybur1 vhoes and stockings." "I haven't got any," said Stanley. "Well, can't you get aoine?" "I'll try," said the boy. "Come back with shoes and stockings or I c,an't take you," said the manager; and Stanley went out to face a harder problem than was the search for Livingston. After thinking it out, he slipped back into the business office, and buttonholed the day-boy. "Have you got another pair of shoes and stockings?" he asked. "No," said the other. "Well, you go off duty at 6 o'clock don't you? I'll give you fifty cents when I get paid if yu'll lend me your shoes and stockings for a week. I'll leave 'em under the desk every morning for you." I'll do it," said the other boy; _ and so young Stanley made his entry InTandtnat'thechairman b e a l l o w e d t h e J i n t o J o u r n a l i s m .

Some women are like rugs—tactless. Swell society Is like the tropics— serpents are there. Ma says a girl may be set In her ways without being a jewel. A man can get trimmed in good style without visiting a milliner. When a girl gets to reciting "To be or not to bee," she gets Btung. Pa says that when an autoist won't take anybody's dust he usualy gets laid in it When a man loves the ground a woman walks on, she should keep but of the mud. Pa says if a stingy man could see himself as others see him, he would be miser-able. In Indiana they buy Jam at the grocers' while In New York you get it in the subway. Soldier boys are so strong with the girls that when they get Into a fight it 1» called on engagement— Rose Melville. When His Turn Would Come. Not so long ago a well-known canon of Westminster was marrying two of his servants, one of whom was his footman. As had been his custom, whenever he answered a question the footman saluted. The canon whispered to him to dispense with the salute and simply repeat—after him. It was an unfortunate Instruction, for when the question came, ''Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" etc., the footman J was obedient to the very letter and said, "After you, sir."—The Tatler * Remember* In poking fun Don't ever blurt A single word it to burt 4 < • « • \ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But over the richer rural parts of Ireland has come Intelligent organized industry and enthusiastic energy which make it as rich and prosperous as the richest portions of the great middle west In America. Rural Ireland is unquestionably a regenerate Ireland. The process of regeneration is progressing. Prosperity is crowding out poverty and invading even those regions which have heretofore been considered the natural strongholds of poverty. How Prosperity Came to Ireland. There are several contributing causes for this changed condition. The land tenure laws have done wonders. •Tinder old conditions the slightest indication of prosperity upon the part )of the tenant, if it were only a new cap •or the wife a clean apron, meant a raise in rent. It was to the advantage of the tenant farmer to seem more miserable than he was. The system iput a premium on squalor and raggedness and slovenly farming. No one «ould safely whitewash his cottage or iplant a tree or cultivate a flower. Now All Is changed. Three hundred thousand farmer tenants are now purchasing their holdings under a beneficent law, which permits the purchase of the land without the advance payment of a cent. The only obligation upon the ipurchaser is that he pay annually 2¾ iper cent, upon the value of the little 'farm as interest and less than one-half per cent as an installment upon the principal. Plunkett Teaches Co-operation. There can be no doubt that rural [Ireland is making a business success of farming. But it is not doing its business in.a business-like way because of any spontaneous impulse on the part of the Irish farmer. It is rather be- •cause business-like Irishmen went about organizing the business procedure of rural enterprises in a most [business-like way. The leader of these 'business-like Irishmen is Sir Horace Plunkett. To him Ireland owes more than it will ever realize. From the (first his propaganda, was educational. iHis proposition was that the IriSh (farmer must be taught the efficacy of •combination in industries. He did not believe in subsidies or subventions. iNor did he believe that relief would icome through legislation or through state aid in any form. As Father Fintay, professor of econimics in the National University of Dublin, says: "The (farmers' best resources he held to be themselves, and In their own Intelligence, self-reliance and mutual trust, wind these resources it was his purtpose to develop." He Encounters Difficulties. There seemed to be most excellent (reasons why he could not succeed. The ilrish people were dispirited and discouraged. They were suspicious and 'afraid of all new movements. Sir 'Horace Plunkett himself belonged to ithe despised landlord class, with which the people had been long in constant (conflict. As Father Finlay says: "In religion he was a Protestant and his appeal would be to a people predominantly Catholic in a country where religious lantagonisms prevade every sphere of social life. In politics—so far as he rwas a politician—he was a Unionist, iand those whom he proposed to influence were Nationalists by a vast majority, keenly suspicious of any policy Which threatened to divert the mind wf the nation from the political alms on which it was passionately bent." It is not surprising, therefore, that it (was only after more than a year of ptrenuous efforts and after more than •fifty public meetings had been held, thai in 18S9 a body of Limerick farmers'finally consented to establish a cooperative creamery. It was again over a year before a second one followed (•art By the end o! 1891, however, Iwventeen creameries were at work, and at the end of 1893 thirty had been Organized. Thereafter the cooperative [societies were organised more rapidly. Now op-operation and good business (method / prevail throughout Ireland. rThere ' are 980 cooperative eottStttes upon the island. With an agigregaU paid up share capital of about « million dollars their annual turn-over jti twelve million dollars. , The I. A. 0. 8. • B„i& imrt*» co-operaUre movement jkt* become so great that there was *jg*»d of * central society to carry on the work which had theretofore been done by volunteer propagandists, There was needed an organization which should help rural communities organize their marketing and business processes, be a central federation of all existing societies, and become a supervisor and auditor of their business methods. Such a society is the Irish Agricultural society. At its head has been and is Sir Horace Plunkett, who has been the John the Baptist of the gospel of co-operation in Ireland. He is ably assisted by the secretary, Mr. R. A. Anderson, a man of rare executive ability and of eminent common sense. Associated in the movement also is Mr. George W. Russell, brilliant journalist and editor of the Irish Homestead, a man who is* practical as well as a poet and painter. The vice-president of the organization is Rev. Father Thomas A. Finlay, professor of economics in the National University at Dublin, a Catholic priest who has a most rare and kindly knowledge of human nature, combined with a splendid head for the details of the business of the co-operative organization. Seldom has so well balanced a quartet of men been associated together in any economic movement. They are in very fact a power for the business regeneration of rural Ireland. Practically all of the co-operative societies in Ireland have been organized by the I. A. O. S. Its organizers meet with the promoters of a news society and give them the benefit of the experiences of the older societies. They furnish a set of rules, advise as to equipment, install a system of bookkeeping and good business methods. The society has a staff of skilled, experienced men who are organizers, editors and inspectors. To it co-operative societies make certain definite reports. To it they constantly go for advice and council and over them it maintains a most complete power of audit., The function of the society is to unify and coordinate, to inspect, to audit, to advise. It has been its achievement to pilot all co-operative organizations through the struggles and difficulties inherent in the Initiation of the movement to ultimate success. During the parliamentary recess of 1895, through the efforts of this same statesman, Sir Horace Plunkett, there was brought together a committee of representative men of various parties and creeds, who later presented a petition to the government praying for the Institution of a state department which would fulfil the functions of a ministry of agriculture for Ireland. These proposals were embodies in a law enacted in 1899 and immediately thereafter the department of agriculture, with Sir Horace Plunkett at its head, began its career of education. The present head of "the department of agriculture and technical instruction," as it is now termed, is the Hon. Thomas W. Russell. Agricultural Wholesale Society. As was but natural, the co-operative organizations, after they had established themselves and began furnishing a product of high quality, found that the individual managers of the separate societies had not facilities for obtaining a knowledge of the market. To understand fully the conditions in all markets to which Irish products might reasonably be expected to have access was too large a task for each scattered organization to undertake for itself. Consequently the Irish Agricultural Wholesale society, limited, began business. At first it confined itself to the marketing of IriBh products. Later, when local co-operative societies found trouble in getting goods of high quality at reasonable prices, the organization took up the jobbing business as a side issue. Now it maintains two branches, one-seventh of its business is performed as a jobber, six-sevenths of its business is marketing Irish goods. About one-third of the Irish products handled go across the channel to England and Scotland. The healthful growth that has occurred In the business of the concern from 1906 to 1912 is indicated by the following figures: J.9U0 . . « < • > > . < • • • » « . . , • • • • • • • B Z ( 0 , 4 v 0 lifU i • > . • . . . • • » • • • • « • • • • « « » . . 3*8»lo5 ltfUB « « . . . « • » . » • « , • • » • • « , • • » • 3 V 5 , 7 D O 1909 521,630 1910 .*....... 617,5*0 ltfll >••...•..••,..•,•..«,.,, 664,645 1912 884,509 The Irish Homestead. The great co-operative movement Is not without its press a r m . Too Irish Homestead announces itself as "the organ of Irish agricultural and industrial development." Such it undoubtedly it. It does not, however, confine itself to teaching the doctrine of cooperation, but contains departments dealing with ail phases of agricultural development. The number before me has articles or comments upon the following subjects: "The Plea for the Middleman," "Seed Germination and Growth," "Live Stock Notes," "Tuberculosis," "Poultry," "Creamery Management," "Pages for Irish Countrymen." It also contains a column devoted to to the interests of "The United Irishwomen." The Irish Homestead is edited by George W. Russell, a brilliant writer, the clarity and force of whose editorial comments extend the subscription list to many who are not of those directly interested In the agricultural subjects which are the maintops discussed in the journal. The United Irishwomen. In all his efforts for Improving the conditions of rural Ireland, Sir Horace Plunkett makes constant use of the formula, "Better farming, better business, and better living." It is true that "better living" is placed within the reach of many an Irish family because of the returns guaranteed from the better farming and better business which come through co-operation, but as Father Finiay says in the article hertofore referred to, " At an early stage of the movement a scheme of what was called "home-brightening" was put into operation in certain selected centers where successful co-operative societies had been established. Educated ladies who had experience in peasant life in the more advanced rural communities of the continent were settled in model cottages. They received the women and 9 girls of the locality and taught them such elements of housekeeping as would enable them to turn the resources of house, garden and farmyard into best account. Later they became more intimate in their advice and assistance and became instrumental in the preparation of the family meals, suggested reforms In the matter of cleanliness and order, brought about the larger use of garden fruit and vegetables and taugh methods of preserving them. Soon the men of the family, becoming interested, co-operated In the process of home brightening. Simple Improvements were made, whitewash liberally applied, a kitchen garden cultivated, trees and flowers were planted, and shrubs and roses trained to grow against the walk. The cost of this home brightening scheme was at first defrayed by Sir Horace Plunkett, who devoted to it the salary attached to his office of vice-president of the department of agriculture. He realized, however, that it was essentially a women's work and should be in their hands. This led to the organization of "The United Irishwomen." As Miss Pilkington, one of their leaders, says: "The work which the United Irishwomen propose to do in rural Ireland may be considered under three heads—agriculture and industries, domestic economy, social and intellectual development. Home dairying can be mu&h improved, and it is of immense importance that a sufficient supply of milk for every household should be available. Many girls are employed In shops at bookkeeping, but few ever try to keep their father's accounts for him, although quite capable of doing so when they first leave school. "The branch committee of the United Irishwomen in co-operation with the county committee under the department of agriculture, and assisted by the farmers' societies, could do for the fanner's wife what the Irish Agricultural Organization society does for the farmer." SplenoNd Social Center. • member of the Kilkee branch of the United Irishwomen writing to an American interested in the movement says: "Our neighboring branch at Doonaha (about five miles from this) has combined with the farmers and others to purchase a disused creamery and make it into a parish hall, where we will hold classes under the various instructresses supplied by the congested districts board, the department and others, and where we will also have dances, plays, concerts and all the other things which make life happy for the country side. "Our branch here had an entertainment on November eve, which is an old Irish festival, as perhaps you know. We had games of various kinds, and dancing, including Irish jigs. We now have a teacher of plain needlework sent by the congested districts board, In Doonaha, and hope to get her for Kilkee later on. "Tomorrow we open our Girl club for winter evenings here in Kilkee, and in the same rooms we provide hot breakfast for the farmers and drovers who come in with cattle, on fair days, at cheap rates. We also serve hot cocoa to the school children who need It, every day at luncheon hour." And so the salvation of Ireland is after all being worked out by a big co-operative scheme in which local socities, the wholesale society, the agricultural department of the government, the I. A. O. 8., the Irish Homestead* and the Unit#d Irishwomen all aro paying important part*. WILSON DN TOLLS DECLARES EXEMPTION OF U. S. COATW1SE SHIPPING IS MISTAKEN ECONOMIC POLICY. P R E S I D E N T READS MESSAGE Chief Executive Asks Congress to Repeal Adamson Act Containing Objectionable Clause—Powers Hold It Violation of Treaty. Washington, March 5.—President Wilson appeared personally before congress again this afternoon, this time to read a special message urging the repeal of the provision in the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise vessels from payment of tolls. This message was written and delivered In accordance* with the request of Representative Underwood. The Democratic floor leader felt that the president should assume the responsibility for action that will be directly contrary to one of the resolutions adopted by the last Democratic convention, and that he should give his reasons for favoring the repeal so that members who voted for the exemption clause would have an excuse for changing their attitude. President's Message. The address follows:-• "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I have come to you upon an errand which can be very briefly performed, but I beg that you will not measure its importance by the number of sentences in which I state it. No communication I have addressed to the congress carried with it graver or more far-reaching implications to the interest of the country and I now come to speak upon a matter with regard to which I am charged in a peculiar degree by the constitution Itself with personal responsibility. "I have come to ask for the repeal of that provision of the Panama canal act of August 24, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coast trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom, and the large policy of such a repeal with .the utmost earnestness of which I am capable. Exemption a Mistake. "In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes a mistaken economic policy from every point of view, and is, moreover, hi plain contravention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal concluded on November 18, 1901. But 1 have not come to you to urge my personal views. I have come to state to you a fact and a situation. "Whatever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this muchdebated measure, its meaning is not debated outside the United States. Everywhere else the language of tne treaty is given but one interpretation, and that Interpretation precludes the exemption I am asking you to repeal. Consented to Treaty. "We consented to the treaty; its language we accepted, if we did not originate it; and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respecting a nation to interpret with too strained or refined a reading the words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do is the only thing we can afford to do, a voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunderstood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. "I ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to deal with other meetings of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure."

Permission Granted Several Days Ago Prevents Danger of International Complications From Action. Laredo, Ter.—Texas rangers, who secretly crossed into Mexico Saturday qight, Sunday brought to the American eids the mutilated body of Clemente Vergara, Texas ranchman, and established the fact of his execution after he was seized by Mexican federals. The rangers were not opposed, accomplishing their search without the slightest violence, taking the body from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery, almost within sight of the Texas border. The seizure was divested of possibly grave aspects in international complications, by reason of the fact th?t the rangers were virtually making use of permission granted officially by Mexican federal authorities several days ago for recovery of the body. This permission had been given to United States Conseul Alonzo Garrett at Nuevo Laredo, but he did not get the body because of what he reported as dangers attending search for it in the immediate vicinity of Hidalgo. Vergara was- shot twice through the head and once through the neck, his skull was crushed as by a blow from a rifle butt, and the charred fingers of the left hand indicated he had been tortured before being put to death.

The verdict of the coroner's jury, clearing the Citisens Alliance of all blame, was also included in the records. Witnesses for Sheriff Cruse told of the south Range raid, participated in by Alliance members and the seizure of guns and ammunition in Union hall.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE Smithvllle, Ind.~"Six months ago our baby girl, one year old, had a few red pimples come on her face which gradually spread causing her face to become very irritated and a fiery red color. The pimples on the child's face were at first small watery blisters, just a small blotch on the skin. She kept scratching at this until in a few days her whole cheekB were fiery red color and instead of the little .blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very, much. "We UBed a number of remedies which seemed to give re.lief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti* cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Qint* ment. I washed the child's face with very warm water and Cuticura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointment very lightly. After doing this about three times a day the Itching and burning seemed entirely gone in two days' time. Inside of two weeks' time her face seemed well. That was eight months ago and there has been no return of the trouble." (Signed) Mrs. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.

This was shown in the case of a son of Erin recently reported, who, upon being reproached by a former acquaintance with no longer knowing him, retorted: "Know yez? No, Oi don't know yez, an if whin Oi did know yez Oi'd known yez as well as Oi know yez now, whin I don't know yez at all, I'd niver have known yez!" Merely a Rehearsal.

"If you women want to find things out why «, don't you follow the advice of St Paul and ask your husbands? You women are such fools." This was too much for Mrs. Simpson- Jones' long humbled spirit.

While din- Ipg at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter In the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss La TosBa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl Is a spy Senor La Tosaa chides his daughter for her failure to secure' Important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Ouba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At sea >he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction 4it the hands of. dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots Against the.American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. CHAPTER VII.—Continued. "Nevertheless," persisted his inquisitor. "I aek you what you would do. Come, come,"—Holton recognized by his manner a personage of some authority in the Cuban cause—"it 'would be so easy for you to say that until Cuba is absolutely free no drop of blood in your body is your own." "It would be easy to say that," was the ead response, "but I have shed my /blood. I am old. I have struggled and suffered for my country. In the intervention of the United States I see the answer to all my struggles and to all my prayers. I am like a man who has come to the end of a long journey. 3 see the brightness ahead, the load is eased from the back. God's hand is mow at work in this island. And as this hand moves, so will I abide. He lhas Bent the Americans here and he will send them away in good season after their work is done. If not, then 00 be It" For a moment there was silence. Then Garcia spoke again. "You have nothing to fear. It is my thought that unless our American tfrlendSv make a speedy ending of this campaign they will be routed by disease, and if they do not fly they will die, surely and certainly. And thus •even if I agreed with you in your contentions, I should Btill advocate leaving the matter to God." "Time will tell. And now you must »leep, general. Who was that American/' he added, "who remains with syouf "An Englishman, a newspaper writer," was the reply. "He is not English; he, is American." "Admiral Sampson vouched for him. But at any rate, suppose he is an [American? He might be that and still fbe a writer for the English press." General Garcia arose decisively. "As you suggest," he said, "I most teieep. There Is yet much before me." "There Is much yet before us all," grumbled the officer. "Good night, {general." As Garcia turned to his tent the man walked to the fire; he leaned down, tseized an ember and lighted a cigarette. The flames shone full upon his Iface. With a half gasp Holton arose in Oils blanket, and then, as the fellow straightened up, he sank back upon fthe boughs. But his eyes never left [the man's face. At length, with quick motion, the Cuban turned toward Holton, who had jjust time to close his eyes. Thus he lay tense, listening for the sounds that [would have caused him to spring to his [feet—the sounds of the man's foot* steps approaching him. Bat the sounds did not come. As (Holton at length opened his eyes he saw the man writing by the light of the Are upon a small pad lying on his [knee. "Ton are indeed a good waiter, my Ifrlend," muttered Holton to himself, iand rising from his blanket he walked noiselessly toward the fellow he had first seen, in the dining-room at the New Willard. So deeply was the man engrossed in U s writing that Holton'a, movement £u unnoticed by him. And for this oKon thanked him sincerely before fbe had gone two steps. v H e acted upon Impulse in rising (from his blanket, and without any deflmlte intention save that of accosting fthe man. But now the futility of doing ftnjs ia ,tti4 'campV w*it Oarcia not yet asleep, and without any well-informed plans for dealing with him appealed to him forcibly. He stopped suddenly In his tracks and then stole back to his bed of boughs. ( Holton's mind waB in sore quandary as to what to do. Unquestionably this man held a high place in the esteem of Garcia, who just as certainly had no idea that he was a Spanish spy. As to the conversation, Holton believed he had the key to that; the spy was engaged in the process of poisoning the minds of Cuban leaders against the Americans, a plot which, if carried forward successfully and rapidly, might seriously affect the present campaign, and at the same time have a decided tendency to give point to certain relations already strained with several powerful foreign nations. One thing was sure, the moves of this man must be checkmated, and sharply. Just how was the question. Holton lay there deliberating what he ought to do for more than an hour, and still undecided when the spy settled things for him by slipping his pad in his pocket and walking toward his horse. He stood for a moment there, his head turned toward Garcia's little hut of leaves and grasses, and then mounting he rode off down the trail. Holton now lost no time in deciding on his course. Obviously it was to the interests of his government that this man be watched, and so waiting for a minute until the bushes had closed behind the spy, he stealthily started in pursuit. After leaving the lines, Holton quickened his steps, keeping well within the shadow of the bushes until he was within fifty feet of the rider. Presently the bottom of the mountain was reached, and the spy continued on through the manigua Jungle. As he broke through into the open, Holton made a little detour and came out on the beach, crawling now, about seventy- five feet from where the man was standing, holding his horse by the bridle and gazing out over the bay, where could be made out the light of a dispatch boat. As the officer watched him, the spy raised his hand, and a low but penetrating whistle broke the stillness of the night A lantern waved from a craft in the bay, and in a few minutes the rattle of oars in their locks sounded. As the boat came shoreward, Holton, now breathlessly interested, wriggled his way nearer the spy and flattened against the sand and shielded by small growths of chaparral, he awaited the arrival of the boat. As it grated on the beach, a tall of* fleer sprang out, and Holton had no difficulty in recognizing him as one of General Shatter's aids. "Well, Montez," said the latter, 'I thought you were never coming." "I thought so, too," was the reply. "There was difficulty in getting out of the camp, but now I am here and I have information the general wishes." "All right. What is it?" "Calixto Garcia Is not your friend. He is one of the leaders in a plan to attack you once you have rid Santiago province of the Spaniards. I can give you proof." The spy drew from his pocket the pad upon which he had been writing and, tearing off a sheet, handed it to the officer, who read it by lighting a match and holding it in front of the paper. "That is a copy of a letter which General Garcia wrote tonight to General Castillo and General Rabi." "Are you* sure of this?" "Absolutely. But I will say this much: The message, as I have it, is not word for word. I read it after he wrote i t for he showed It to me; after he fell asleep' I wrote it from memory." "Very well. Have yon anything else to teli me? Will Garcia carry out die arrangements made with General Shatter this afternoon?" "Oh, yes; he will. You will understand that nothing which will hinder American success against the Spanlards will be done; Garcia and the other Cuban generals are looking to the futare." "Very well; HI report to the com* mande-Mn-chiel What are your futare Intentions r "I should like to accompany you to the Sefaranca. General Shatter may have some questions, and, in any event, I shaH feel safer *t asm just at "You see," the spy added, "my role as one of the leaders of the Cuban Junta, coupled with my supposed belief in the absolute integrity and disinterestedness of the United States as regards Cuba, sometimes lead me into danger. Garcia, who is my friend, believes in me, but Castillo, I have reason to think, iB suspicious. Garcia meets Castillo tomorrow, and so—" he shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands. "All right," grunted the American; "jump Into the boat." Before the spy obeyed, he turned for a moment and repeated his whistle. Then, in a very mild voice, he said: "It is time, senor, for your salad— with dressing." Holton, knowing the words were addressed to him, was oi\the point of scrambling to his feet when a powerful arm was thrown across his throat, throttling him, while, at the same time, his handB and feet were seized and bound in a twinkling. A gag was then slipped into his mouth, and he lay there helplessly, regarding the four figures who stood over him. "What is it?" .he heard the officer say. "Merely," was the reply, "an inquisitive soldier from Garcia's camp. They bother me so—you have no idea." "Well," was the laughing reply, "you certainly seem to know how to deal with them. Now, come on, if you are coming." "Thank you; yes." He delivered a volley of commands in Spanish, speaking so rapidly that Holton could not understand a word. The men replied in kind, and then the officer and^ the spy stepped into the boat and were rowed offshore. CHAPTER VIM. A Grim Announcement. The men, who proved to be three gigantic negroes and a white man, attired in the blue drill uniform of a Spanish officer, with a little cockade in his felt hat, Jerked Holton to, his feet, cut the lashings about his ankles and hurried him toward the trail. Finally, as hints of dawn appeared overhead, the party arrived at a small clearing where were picketed some score of horses, with their riders, evidently a contingent of Spanish cavalry. There was a short conference, and then the gag was taken from Holton's mouth and he was lifted upon a pony. The cavalcade took up the trail Which ran alongside the mountain, below the camp of Garcia, in the direction of Santiago. As the sun rose, a halt was called in a little valley, and preparations were made for what Holton believed would be a stay of considerable duration. It was then that for the first time a word was spoken directly to Holton. A Powerful Arm Was Thrown Across His Throat An officer—not the one who had figured in his capture, but the man in charge of the detachment—confronted the Ajnerican as he sat on the ground, and, releasing his hands, placed a guard over him. "You will have apportunity for two hours' rest," he said, bowing. "Then we shall proceed at once to Santiago." "But why have I been captured?" Ipfttested Holton. "I am a non-combatv. • He produced Ms credentials as correspondent of the London Standard. The officer examined them carefully. Then he placed them in his pocket. "I am convinced you are lying," he replied simply. "Our information concerning you is exceedingly accurate. For your sake I trust the papers may be found correct. For otherwise"—he shrugged hlB BhoulderB—"you are a spy." A chill passed over Holton. He had not thought of that before. A spy! And in war time they had a summary way of dealing with such. After a very meager breakfast, the men threw themselves upon the ground, chatting and smoking, and Holton did likewise. He felt in its fullness the relief of having his hands free, and, in large measure, despite the guard standing over him and the men all about, he became possessed of greater confidence in his ability to meet this situation, the most dangerous that had ever confronted him. Fearing, no doubt, the proximity of Garcia's men, the soldiers did not move until late afternoon, and then with great stealth, all talking in the ranks being rigidly silenced. Holton had had opportunity for several hours' sleep. He was thereby greatly refreshed, and, under reaction, his fears for himself were considerably lessened. Dusk fell, and still the march continued. On through the night went the men, and without a stop until dawn, when camp was made in a clearing which had been cut where two of the mountain trails met and crossed. Here, as the heavens grew bright, fires were lighted, and a meal prepared, after which sentries were posted. Then the camp settled down for sleep. Holton had no idea how many miles had been covered since his capture, but felt it must be a great many. Standing up he could now see far away over the hills the twinkling lights of Santiago, and these he could not help viewing with dread. At nightfall the march was again taken up, and at dawn the force was within a few miles of the city. A squad was sent on ahead to report to General Linares, but came flying back in a few hours with messages to the effect that the soldiers were leaving for El Paso, and that the troops of the United States would shortly advance from Siboney. There were other matters, too, in the papers brought by the messenger, and one of them seemed to concern Holton, for the officer, while reading it, glanced at him with a troubled face. At length he came up to Holton and drew him to one side. "I am sorry to inform you," he said, "that I have orders here to hang you at once." Holton stepped hack as though he had been struck in the face. "Hang me at once!" he cried. "Those are my orders, signed by the commander-in-chief of this province. "But there must be some mistake," Holton went on, "I am not a spy; but even if I were I certainly have done nothing to justify an act so unfair, inhuman and outrageous." "I do not see how any mistake could have been made," came back the answer. "Here you see the warrant signed by Muller, the general's aide." "Then General Linares did not sign that warrant?" "No. It reads General Linares 'orders,' and is then signed by Muller." "But surely—" Holton began. "There is no time for argument, my brother. We are ordered to Guaismas and have no time to waste with you. I am sorry, but—" the fellow shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the order. Holton's mind worked like lightning. The men were engaged in breaking camp and the one who had been guarding Holton had turned aside at the officer's approach, and now, with his back toward the two, was extracting a clip of bullets from his Mauser. Behind Holton was an apparently impenetrable jungle of manigua. The muscles^of his body grew tense, and then with all the skill and all the sureness of direction of the champion middleweight boxer at Annapolis, he sent his fist swiftly and silently into the officer's Jaw. Without a sound the man crumpled to the ground. Holton stepped back into the thicket was blocked a few feet from the trail, but exerting all his power, forced his way Into the depths of the jungle. During a fall minute silencej-elgned in the camp. It was all of that period before the prostrate officer, hidden by the long grass, was discovered by Holton's guard. Then his outcry sounded through the clearing, and in another instant loud commands were being uttered and bullets were cutting branches of manigua on all sides of the fugitive American.

Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing Hotv // Jj Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW S. DUDGEON. i *W<JJJ> i l y h L. U 1 4 . \ \ rMU-rti N e w s p a p e r Uiuo:i.j CO-OPERATIVE LESSONS LEARNED IN IRELAND * o Dublin, Ireland.—There ia no magic In co-operation. It is not a cure-all for economic ilia. Cooperative concerns succeed because they employ good business methods. In fact cooperative marketing ia good business and good sense and intelligence applied to farm marketing. This is the biggest and most important lesson to be learned in Ireland. As Rev. Father Finley, a great believer in co-* operation, says in an article in the Constructive Quarterly, "That it has been productive of much material good to those who employed its methods with intelligence and energy, is beyond question; that it has been barren of useful results where those qualities were wanting is equally undeniable." Co-operative marketing succeeds in Ireland because it stands for three things: (1) Good business methods and intelligent management; (2) A uniformly high quality of product; (3) justice, equality and loyalty among members. Without these characteristics co-operation -fails in Ire* land and fails everywhere. These are the lessons that Ireland has to teach America. No group which does not insist upon running its co operative concern along these lines can succeed. To tolerate poor business methods, laxity as to quality, or disloyalty and injustice to each other is to fail. These are some things Americans will not be required to experiment upon, because the Irish have already tried them out. Simply Good Business. Irish co-operation makes money for farmer and city consumer alike. It has succeeded in bringing the producer and consumer nearer together. The farm products go directly to the city consumer. The product arrives in good shape. It brings only a reasonable price. The result is that city man and farmer profit by the more economical method of distribution. But co-operative marketing after all is simply good, common *ense and efficient business. There i s \ o t h i n g mysterious about it. As we have said, there is in it no magic. The good co-operative marketing concerns over here succeed because they are well organized, well managed, intelligently governed, carefully supervised; because they are simply efficient business organizations in which 100 or 1,000 men with a common occupation and a common interest get together for a united, harmonious effort In which every man does his full share. Must Be Purely Democratic. Over here it ia always "one man one vote." One lesson that Ireland has for America is that no man and no small group of men can be permitted to control any co-operative organization. The principal of one man one vote must prevail. The man who has invested $1,000 must have no more voting power than the man who has St vested only $5. "Men, not property vote," is another expression vised here. Under this system no man een use the co-operative society for his own selfish ends. The poorest farmers attend the meetings, and If they show ability, go upon committees and become officers. The organization is most essentially democratic. AM Profits to the Producer. The purpose back of co-operative organization differs from that back of a commercial enterprise. It seeks not to make dividends for the man Who invests his moqey, but to provide that the producer shall receive the largest possible percentage of the price paid by the consumer. Ireland has found by experience that where large profits are paid to the investors t£*Vreal purposes of co-operation are net served. One ease is recorded American fruit growers organa so-called co-operative concern the joint stock plan. They inligled into the venture a large number of smaller growers who had little money to invest, but in the aggregate a very considerable amount of fruit to market The ones who Invested largely were In control and proceeded to make large profits for themselves as investors, and Ignored the interests of the fruit growers themselves. As a result the small growers were forced out of business.and out of .the country. . Here in Ireland so wen established p this principle that It is a definite rsie that no co-operative society can p a y mote than 5 per cent per ansnup upon the stock held by the shareholders. Bvery time that any group of Amer- •V • • * » f" i ican farmers have organized a cooperative marketing concern they have met Bharp and often unfair competition. The other established buyers have offered prices which were higher than the co-operative society could offer without taking a loss. Often they succeed in coaxing the members of the co-operative society from its support. It is hard for a farmer who is receiving only 35 cents per bushel for his potatoes at a co-operative warehouse to refuse 45 cents offered by some independent buyer. But the unvarying subsequent history is, of course, that as soon as the co-operative concern is put out of business by this sort of competition prices drop, and the farmer is where he was before, and helpless in the hands of the independent buyers, To obviate this difficulty in Ireland, it has been found necessary to explain the situation fully to the prospective members of the co-operative organization; to state to them that unless they are willing to agree to market all their product through the cooperative society it is useless to begin. They are warned that they will be approached by independent dealers and offered higher prices. But thus warned and informed upon the subject, the organizers of Irish co operative societies have had little difficulty in obtaining from the prospective members an agreement to market all of their produce through the concern. Importance of Quality, As we have said, there is no magic in co-operation. Co-operative marketing simply means that the farm produce is to be marketed in a businesslike way without undue waste during the process. Pioneers in Irish cooperation soon found that after they had discovered the best market and after they had organized the co-operative society, and after the members had agreed to bring all their produce to the company, cooperation was still an absolute failure whenever the members of the society delivered even occasionally, inferior goods and mingled them with the better goods. A creamery puts out 100 pounds of good butter; if the next pound is bad butter the market for the butter of that creamery is rained. Without high uniform quality co-operation cannot succeed. It becomes necessary therefore for the members all tq, co-operate in producing cream that is of the highest possible quality and reaches the creamery in the best condition. But Irish experience demonstrates that no private concern can compete in quality with a cooperative concern, for no private concern can control the product from its original source. "Control" Is Requisite. Quality c<*n be produced by the cooperative society, because these concerns reach out to the farm itself. It is not enough that a creamery has the best and latest methods of making butter and marketing it. If the cream comes in from the farm in bad condition, the butter is bad. To make good butter you must control the cow, and her feed, and her care, and the stables, and the milk pail, and even the milk can used In delivery. Certain rigid rules and conditions are laid down by the creameries themselves, and approved by a central committee. Each creamery participating ia the scheme is required to give free access during the working hours to the officers of the I. A. O. S. that they may inspect the premises and bookB, check the records, examine any butter in stock, and take for analysis samples of cream and butter. Each creamery is bound to maintain the most immaculate cleanliness, accept only milk that is clean, fresh and untainted, pasteurize all milk and cream, churn the cream at a temperature not to exceed 48 degrees F„ and affix the control label to no butter that exceeds the-16 per cent limit of moisture. The enforcement of such rules as this tending to result in high grade products is what is meant by "control." It is another of the big lessons that Ireland has to impart to prospective co-operators. And remember this: No stock company or private creamery ever yet was able to control the quality of butter by controlling every step back to the feed before the cow eats i t Consequently^ no privately owned creamery can make such butter as co-operative butter. Brands Must Be Used. It Is not enough that the inherent quality i s high. The quality must fle evidenced m some way readily recognizable by the public. Consequently a system of brands and labels has been devised for all products. By an educational process covering years the public as well as dealers have been taught that the brand of co-operation stands for quality. Consumers are taught to demand this brand as an evidence of quality. Retailers find that the brand sells the product without advertising. It is therefore the policy of Irish co-operation to have a brand. The affixing of the brand certifies quality and makes the article transferable at a fixed figure, just as the impress which the gold disk receives in the mint makes it a sovereign which passes current from hand to hand. An attorney, whose business has been largely rb investigate American bankrupt concerns makes the statement that he never knew a bad commercial failure where there was not either dishonesty or lack of bookkeeping methods. Bad failures comq only where no one iB fully informed as to the exact condition of the business. The Irish co-operators fully recognize this principle. Certain standard forms of bookkeeping have been worked out and largely adopted; the best methods of keeping the books, and of making summaries and reports for audit, have been also established, so that the exact condition may be brought to the attention of the members of the concern at any time. As a result we find everywhere throughout the co-operative enterprises of Ireland surprisingly efficient methods of accounting. The I. A. O. S. and its supervisory Byster are largely responsible for this situation. One of the greatest difficulties encountered was that of obtaining skilled managers for the various co-operative concerns. But skilled and intelligent they must be in order to insure success. For example, it is necessary that the man at the head of a creamery must not only be a n » 9 9 2 T«kjrr*f«v "0fl6ANi»t OUW-IK. •»Mn i_*au is. ii*uie »Y TM» l A U i ccnTKOl- COfiniTTi* Co-operative Butter Label. good butter maker, but he must be as well a bookkeeper, a business man, and a student of the markets. He must understand something of transportation and of packing for transportation. He must be what we in America would call a good mixer in order to establish the proper point of contact with customers and members as well. Combination of Concerns. It has also been determined by experience that the separate little concerns, some of which are necessarily managed by men of limited opportunity, cannot succeed unless they are federated and supervised and helped by a central organization. They need assistance in organization, in finding the best markets. The I. A. O. S. has not only assisted in organizing the co-operative societies, but receives periodical reports from the, visits and inspects them frequently, audits their "accounts, sees that their affairs are properly conducted, makes suggestions as to markets and other business problems, and gives council and advice generally. Some such supervision must come in America if co-operative success is to be general and lasting. Our Conclusion. Co-operation has undoubtedly succeeded in Ireland. It deserves to sue* ceed because it stands for a uniformly high quality of farm products, for fair dealing, for just returns to those furnishing the product, for justice'to the consumer, as well as producer, for good, clean business methods, for skilled management, for community loyalty and solidarity. Co-operation will succeed in the United States whenever it stands for these things. If it does not, it will fail. The sooner the co-operative enthusiast learnt that co-operation, like every other enterprise, must succeed on its merits, not on some mysterious inherent virtue, the better. Nothing could be more unwise at this time than to preach the doctrine that co-operation in Itself should be introduced anywhere and everywhere. If it is introduced before prospective members are ready to co-operate in a proper spirit fdr its success, it will inevitably fail Making Your Own Glue.

GAY FRILLS IN THE BOUDOIR Painty and Feminine Are the Ruffles Just Now'Being 8o Generously Made Use Of. As ruffles become more and more fashionable on feminine garb they begin to make a reappearance in feminine boudoirs. Ruffled window curtains, bed-spreads and pillow covers are replacing the straight bordered effects of the last few years and milady's sroom promises to become as gayly frilled a sanctum as it was a half century ago. Ruffled pillow cases are especially dainry and feminine and they give the final touch of luxury to the bed. If one does not desire to sleep on the beruffled pillows they may be exchanged at night for smaller pillows in plain linen slips, or the ruffled slips may be removed and put rn again next morning. This takes but a moment if the slip covers are roomy enough to go over the pillow without tugging. Two or three snap buttons sewed along the opening under the ruffles will hold the dainty covers smoothly in place and may be unfastened in a twinkling at night. Rather narrow ruffles give the best effect—two and a half inches should be the limit of width—and the hems should be very narrow also. Make the ruffle full enough to be fluted by the laundress and the effect will be very crisp and smart. Such pillow covers should be square, rather than oblong, and the pillow may be stuffed into the square, the snap buttons holding it in place. Of course the ruffles must go around all four sides of each cover, and the bed thus dressed will need no pillow shams, bolster roll or other device to hide the sleeping pillows from view. TO CLEAN COLORED FABRICS Liquid Resulting From Grated Raw Potatoes Mixed With Water Will Produce Gratifying Results. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp in clear water, and pass the liquid through a coarse sieve into another vessel of water. Let the mixture stand until the fine white particles of the potatoes are precipitated, then pour the water off and preserve for use. This liquid will clean all sorts of si'k, cotton or woolen goods without hurting them or spoiling the color. Two good-sized potatoes are sufficient for a pint of water. The article to be cleaned should be laid upon a linen cloth on a table, and, having provided a clean sponge, dip it into the potato water and apply it to the article to be cleaned until the dirt is entirely separated; then wash in clean water several times. The coarse pulp, wnich does not pass through the sieve, if of great use in cleaning wool draperies, carpets and other coarse goods. Easy Sunday Dinner.. Fresh beef tongue makes an economical and toothsome dinner for Sunday. It costs about half as much as the smoked variety and goes farther. Buy on Friday and soak over night in strong salt water. Cook the next morning in plenty of water, well salted. Add one-half cupful of cooked rice to the water and you will have an excellent broth for luncheon or dinner on Saturday. On Sunday slice the tongue cold and serve with it a Jelly or sauce. One can also cut out enough meat from around^the root of tongue for a few sandwiches or to use In croquettes or hash for Monday's luncheon. Fruit Souffle. Line a dish with fruit cut in small pieces, pour over a souffle mixture made as follows: Melt three tablespoons butter, add one-fourth cup flour and pour gradually one cup scalded milk. Beat the yolks of four eggs till stiff and lemon colored. Add gradually one-fourth cup sugar. Combine mixtures and fold in whites of four eggs beaten until stiff and dry* Indian Matting. Having discovered an excellent way to clean matting, I pass it on to others. B.eat the matting first to remove all dust, then take it out of doors and scrub it well with bran water or with water to which a small quantity of salt has been added. Soap has a tendency to turn matting yellow, and should not be used. After the matting has been put through this process, it should be rinsed with cold water, rubbed as dry as possible with a clean cloth and hung on a line to complete the drying. Box In Bathroom. A shirtwaist box in the bathroom will fill a want that is often felt. Very often the room is too email for both a chair and a hamper for soiled clothes. A shirtwaist or utility bos will answer both purposes and look better; If not needed for soiled clothes it will do for clean towels. Cream Pumpkin Pudding. Prepare pumpkin as for pies. Place pumpkin between two slices of bread, with whipped cream on top. This to am excellent dish. MAKES HARD WORK HARDER A bad back makes a day's work twice a| hard.

When they appear on the face, neck, or hands, they may be removed, but if ou other parts of the body it is best wA to bother them. To remove ihem, take a toothpick, wrap the end with a little cotton, moisten with acetic acid and touch the top of the wart or mole, taking care not to touch the surrounding tissue. In a few days a scab will form over the top of the wart or mole, but coutinue the treatment every night, allowing the scab to fall off of its own accord. In a short time the wart or mole will disappear and will not return. The treatment may came some pain, but they can not be removed with out pain. After the wart or mole is removed, it would be well to use a little cold cream to aid in restoring a condition of the skin.

Abraham Lowenstern, secretary of the Poultry Dealers' Protective association, said of a poultry fraud: "New York buys 300,000 pounds of sand weekly that it pays for at the chicken rate. Unscrupulous chicken raisers, you see, feed balls of sand and gravel to their poultry before it is shipped here. It's no uncommon thing to find a half pound of sand in the craw of a pound pullet. "Defenses? Oh, yes, I've heard a. defense from the chicken raisers— and it's abouj as good as Uncle Cal's. "General Carroll, you know, heard suspicious noises in his chicken house in the night. So he banged on the door and shouted: "•Who's in there?' " 'Hain't nobody in 'ere 'ceptin' us chickens,' Uncle Cal's voice softly an* swered." NOT .A MIRACLE Just Plain Cause and Effect.

Lieutenant Holton lg detached from his Icommand in the navy at the outset of the iSpanish-American war and assigned to 'Important Becret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss I^a Tossa, a Cuban patriot. L«ater he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the *incorJty of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa. who is considered a dangerous spy, .on Cubeu soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which tukes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcla's command In the guise o< a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn J D e s n i t e the fiiiir*PiiHnn* nt thA nrnx the plans of the Spanish, navy. . He de-1 , J i „ P " f " ® „ ™ ? „ ° " „ _ v ! _ P tects a trusted Cuban leader In the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. Holton is seized by friends of the spy and later Is ordered executed a s a spy. He escapes. CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. The shouts had grown more distant, -and Holton knew that no one else had stumbled upon the trail, or at least that was his belief until heheard behind him the sound of footateps^pattering down the clearing. He paused, curious to see if it were not one of the scouts who had located his hidden alleyway and found his suspicions true. As the big negro dashed to the end of the lane, Holton worked hie way to the opening through which he "had just come and waited, tense for the encounter. The man located the bent branches and with a little grunt started afresh on Holton's trail. It was the last sound he made for some time, for, as he burst through, the American's fist, launched with bone-shattering force, landed just two inches above his chin and down he went, like a stricken animal. Holton, with a prayer of thanksgiving, leaned over the huddled figure and was rejoiced to find that the fellow had a revolver and a belt filled with bullets, in addition to a hunting-knife. All these things Holton appropriated, and then leaving the negro where he lay, pursued his way into the forest. He had marked his direction before starting upon his flight, his intention being to make the hills over Santiago bay, ascertain the location of Cervera's fleet, watch for any signs that might give hint as to the intentions of the Spanish admiral, and then make for a point where be might signal Sampson's flagship. He had no thought of getting clear away until he had made a strong efat last he fell into a heap, dead asleep. When he awoke he was shivering. He realized his weakness but could not understand it, being usually a man of undeviating health, until it occurred to Uira that he had not eaten anything for nearly twenty-four hourB. But he had nothing with him to eat, and he did not dare discharge his pistol at the birds flying all about for fear of calling attention to his position in the jungle. So he arose, tightened Ws belt as he had read Indians used to do when pressed by hunger, and worked his way on, still holding to the left Continuing thus he stumbled suddenly upon a clearing, which apparently a large number of soldiers had left not many hours before. There were remains of a fire and, better still, scattered upon the ground were bits of hardtack, a whole pineapple and an abandoned kettle with some boiled rice remaining in it. He Went Down LHce • Stricken An I ma U tort to perform the mission upon which he had been dispatched. After walking all day with infrequent halts in the torrid heat, making perhaps ten or twelve miles, he came near sunset to a tall grove of palms. One of these he climbed and at length was able to locate his position in a general way. ** It may hate been fever working in his blood, although he felt well, but through his mind ran something, not a voice, more an impulse, which kept raggesting to him to tarn to the left Finally, staggering and stumbling, half asleep, he obeyed the inward injunc ^ tiosv and la this way proceeded antft 1 thsagh both nature sad man had imity of the Spaniards, Holton sat down and ate the most satisfactory meal of his life. Having eaten, he retired a little distance and lay back In the shadows. The sun warmed him, and the stiffness caused by the damp of the night left him. If, as he had feared, Sever had been in his blood, it had gone now and this Inspired him wonderfully. He was about to descend when the flash of something below caught his eye almost beneath his feet. He looked closely and caught the flash again, followed by another flash, then by several. A flash in this jungle meant polished metal of some sort, and metal of any sort here meant only one thing— soldiers. He strained his eyes downward and then caught glimpses of a trail, partially hidden from his view by bushes. On the side of the trail nearest to the eastward the land fell sharply away into a wide valley, the opposite sides of which were bush and tree-covered hills just as on his side. And now as he looked, the situation dawned clear upon him. For he could see men moving, falling back along the trail, and eventually debouching into bushes on either side. Holton's heart beat quickly. He remembered what the Spaniards had said of Americans marching from the direction of Siboney, and he knew that right before his eyes the Spaniards were arranging an ambush for them. But what could he do? Almost any moment a detachment of Spanish soldiers might come upon him. His slightest movement would tend to attract the attention of some of them. What was happening? Suddenly from the distance there came what sounded to Holton like the clatter of steel on steel. He at once recognised it as the sound a scabbard makes when it strikes against a spur. Hastily he looked down at the Spanish position, but not a sign of a soldier could he see. The trail was deserted, the surroundings were as quiet, as peaceful as the heart of a jungle.' It was too quiet, Holton thought. Suddenly the situation dawned clear —his countrymen were walking into a deadly trap! And he was powerless to help them. Then, as though a voice had whispered In his ear, he started up. Was he helpless? Tes, if he was considering himself. If fear of consequences to him personally were to be weighed, he was perfectly helpless. But not otherwise. Providence could not have smiled more benignly upon the Americans than In placing him just where he was—provided he justified the providential processes with the nerve of a hero. He rolled half on his side, loosened his revolver in its holster, and then drew it out No more sounds come from the trail, and yet, somehow, there was the impression of movement down there, a subconscious feeling of the approach of men. Holton, his eyes strained ahead, his ears alert for the slightest sound, started convulsively as a campaign hat appeared for an instant through a lift In the high grasses on the valley stda] of the trail. Then, flattening himself rigidly upon the ground, he.pointed his pistol in the direction of the Spaniards beneath him, and pulled" the trigger. The sharp report of the forty-four tore through the dead stillness with nerve-racking violence. It clattered across the valley in a hundred echoes. And then, as shocked into inanition, there followed a few seconds of pulseless silence. Again Holton's pistol rang out. This time, from the direction of the hidden advancing forces, there came several short, sharp commands. As Holton lay hidden, thankful'that the Spaniards had evidently attributed the shots to some overanxious soldier on their own side, he saw two Cubans steal along the trail and behind them a gigantic young sergeant in the uniform of a Rough Rider. Close behind him were four men. They were picking their way stealthily. There was no question that Holton's shots had the desired effect. Then, as he looked, several long, lancelike lines of flame darted out of the bushes in which the Spaniards lay. The valley resounded with a racketing uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider sergeant stop short with a look of surprise upon his face, saw his jaws set grimly, saw him advance a step, and then heave forward on his face, blocking the trail with his body. The bushes beneath Holton were now darting sheets of flame and the gases from the smokeless powder drifted upward and into his nostrils. From the American side he heard a crashing as the main body rushed up into action or deployed into the grass to the eastward of the trail and then suddenly out of the thicket came the roar of the Krags. Holton thrilled with pride as he noticed that the aim of the Americans was low and that the shooting discipline was excellent. The firing was incessant and Holton, whose activities wtth his revolver had brought a volley or two in his direction, now ceased firing and began to work his way into the valley toward the American position. He had not gone far when the advancing lines swept upon him. "Hello, Bud," cried a tall, swarthyfaced sergeant from a New Mexican ranch, "what're you doin' way 'out here?" Holton smiled and was about to reply when a red light suddenly flashed before his eyes and he clapped his hand to his forehead, for it seemed as though a red-hot brand had suddenly been clamped upon it. Then mercifully came darkness. -And as he lay thus in the tall grass, his eyes closed, blood streaming down his cheeks and coagulating in the hot sun, the Rough Riders met the regulars from across the valley, while four companies revolved around the left end of the hidden enemy and then, as the Spaniards later put it, "they started to catch us with their hands." For a mile and a half these men, who had marched into what approximated a deadly surprise, chased the Spaniards, sent them flying hastily from three successive barricades until finally, in utter route, they abandoned all thought of further interference with the American movement and fell back on the trenches before Santiago. But Holton did not witness this triumph of Ouaslmas. Long after the thin blue line had swept on up the valley he lay as he had fallen, vultures flying over him and terrible land-crabs rattling about, seeking for that food which death alone makes palatable to them. CHAPTER IX. Before San Juan. Ages seemed to have passed when Holton was aroused by a pleasant voice and the sensation that some revivifying fluid had been forced down his throat Some very sympathetic hand was touching his head and a genial voice was addressing him. "Come, old man, you're all right The bullet just clipped your very thick head and glanced off." Holton opened his eyes and saw a tall, broad-shouldered surgeon bending over him. "How do you feel now?" he asked, -Bully," smiled Holton. "I think I'll get up, If I may." "Oh, wm can get up just ss soon as you thins you feel sufficiently strong," replied the surgeon. He looked at Holton closely. "You're not of oar outfit Correspondent aren't youf' Holton smiled and shook his head. "No, my name is Holton, a lieutenant in the navy." "The navy! dad! You must has* been spoiling'for a landlubbers' scrap, then." " "I cams In from behind Santiago," volunteered Holton, "and ran Into this fight by accident. I have important information for Admiral Sampson, 11 you think I can get to the coast." "You certainly can. I am Bending a couple of wounded men down to Siboney now on horesback. I have another pony which you may borrow—remember, borrow," laughed the surgeon. "Be careful to keep that first-aid bandage on your head and by tonight you'U be all right. Not even a headache." "Thanks." Kolton, aided by the surgeon, got upon his feet, swayed weakly a moment with the other's arm around him, and then, getting his swimming head to rights, he walked slowly toward the trail. A hospital attendant stood there holding two horses, and one of these the surgeon took and assisted Holton into the saddle. "You can leave the nag at our camp in Siboney and I'll get him," he said. "By the way, my name is Church." "Bob Church, of Princeton?" exclaimed Holton, recalling now that he had seen that broad-shouldered young doctor on many a hard-fought gridiron. "The same," was the smiling reply. "Well, Bob Church, I owe you one," A Red Light Suddenly Flashed Before His Eyes. rejoined Holton. "I used to try to emulate your deeds on the eleven at Annapolis, but I don't think 1 ever succeeded." "Oh, yes, you did!" exclaimed the surgeon. "Holton—Holton—Tommy Holton—I place you now. I think they put something like All-America end after your name, a degree they never conferred upon me." Holton blushed; and then, thanking his benefactor, once more he passed on down the trail, in company with two privates, wounded in the "legs. As Holton wandered down a line of tents, he ran into Aldridge, Buxton and Fisher, all of the flagship New York. He fairly flung himself into their arms, and, overjoyed at seeing them for themselves not only, but because of the opportunity it gave him of getting the information he had obtained through to Admiral Sampson. After lunching with his friends as guests of the junior officers of the Third cavalry, Holton made his way to General Shatter's headquarters. The general was sleeping and could not be awakened, but Holton retailed his information concerning the spy to Lieutenant Miley, who received It with great politeness and apparent gratitude, but obviously with little faith either in the fealty or the efficacy of the Cubans—a state of mind that Holton found prevalent among most of the officers of the army. The army had been ordered to move to El Paso, or rather in the direction of El PUo, and there was much to engage Holton's Interest The trail leading into the jungle was congested with light artillery, ambu> lance wagons and marching men.

CANADA WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE The Latest Is Winning Championship for Oats a Third Time. Recently was published the fact of remarkable winnings by Canadian farmers in several events during the past three or four years. The latest Is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, who won in a hard contest for the oat championship over Montana. At the National Corn Exposition at Dallas during February, Montana oats were awarded the championship for the United States. Waiting for the winner of thlB to be announced was a peck of oats belonging to the Canadian growers above mentioned, and alongside of these was a like quantity belonging to a Minnesota grower, who was barred from the regular competition because he was at one time the winner of the trophy—the prize. The three entries were side by side on the judge's bench. It would not be possible to bring together three more likely samples. The Montana and Saskatchewan entries were of equal weight—50 pounds to the bushel. The Minnesota sample was some three pounds lighter. The award was unanimous In favor of the Saskatchewan oats. A remarkable feature and one greatly to the credit of the Canadian product was that the oats, grown in 1913, were grown and shown by those who had competed during the past two years, winning otf each occasion. This, the third winning, gave them for the third time the world's championship and full possession of the splendid 11,500 silver trophy contributed by the state of Colorado. The oats which have thus given to Western Canada another splendid advertising card, were grown 300 miles north of the international boundary line, proving that In this latitude, all the smaller grains can be grown with greater perfection and with more abundant yield than further south. In all this country are to be found farmers who produce oats running from 42 to 48 pounds to the bushel, and with yields of from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. Wheat also does well, grades high, and yields from 30 to 40 bushels per acre. The same may be said of any portion of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed over the world not only as a country where championship grains are grown, but where cattle and horses are raised that also carry off championships and where wild grasses are abundant yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa are grown, thus giving plenty of feed, and with a good climate, sufficient shelter and plenty of water, bring about results such as western Canada has been able to record. Thousands of farmers from the United States who have their homes in Canada bear ample testimony to the benefits they have derived from farming in western Canada.—Advertisement. "SICKED" WIND ON HIS RIVAL Fervent Supplication May Hsve Had No Effect, but It 8urely Came From the Heart. When the minstrel show reached town, in Alabama, there was barely time for the usual street parade. Awaiting the company at the depot was a large reception committee of darkies. Every dark in the crowd was anxious to get the job carrying one of the show banners, not alone for the sake of the free pass paid in exchange for the duty, but for the added glory of taking part in the procession. This was a small and struggling troupe, however, which boasted only one banner—a large ornate square of imitation red silk. A big negro grabbed it as the property man passed It off the car, and clung to it, fighting off all opposition. As he started proudly up the street, with the flagpole resting proudly in the pit of his stomach, a stiff breeze caught the banner and It bellied-like a sail, almost dragging the color-bearer Off his feet, and forcing him to tack and jibe to keep from being capsised bodily. Observing his plight, a disappointed candidate for the job raised JWS voles in invocation from the side* walk: "Sick him, wind;" be yetted. "Sick him!" New Reading.

PRESENT SUPPLY WILL BE EXHAUSTED BY NEXT CROP. Michigan Stands Second in Production and Government Appeals for an Increased Crop thhi Year. Washington.—Michigan will be called upon to produce from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 more bushels of potatoes in 1914 than the yield of this Important food article during the last year. The United States department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the Importation of potatoes from all ports, so during the next few months the new tariff bill cannot affect prices. This country imported about 17,- 000,000 bushels of potatoes during the past 12 months and with the close of the season, before the new crop comes into the market, the supply in this country will be practically exhausted, according to the figures of the government experts. So the crop and marketing officials in Washington are appealing to the potato states to come to the aid of the consuming public and plant a- big crop. As the second potato state in the union, a special appeal is being made to the state of Michigan in this matter. GOV. ANNOUNCES DELEGATES Ferris Names Michigan Men te Attend Conferences in Chicago.

TO RESIST BEAN BLIGHT M. A. C. Profeesor, Has Produced a Plant thst Thrives in Spite of Attacks ef Plsease. East Lansing, Mich.—Hope for the ultimate cure of the bean blight, which is costing Michigan farmers something like $2,000,000 annually, has been awakened by a new plant which has been developed by Prof. Spragg, blant breeder at M. A. C. This bean plant has shown ability to thrive despite the blight. Prof. Spragg has been attempting for a number of years to discover a plant capable or resisting the blight. Two years ago he found one which seemed to have that quality. This plant a year ago produced a yield averaging 35 bushels to the acre. So far the plant breeding department has not harvested enough seed for distribution, but within another year or two it is expected that farmers will be given an opportunity to try out the disease-resistant variety. The M. A. C. bean is not immune to the blight, but It has proved ability to yield well despite the attacks of the disease. Seven Killed In Philadelphia.

London—The dreaded Sunday passed without the slightest disturbance of order In Belfast or in Ulster, where the home rule policy has brought a condition of impending civil war. But the gravity of the crisis is fully Indicated by the fact the king cancelled his intended week-end visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Liverpool. The king and queen also cancelled their proposed visits to the races on Thursday and to the grand national raoe on Friday. The king has thrown his Influence earnestly on the side of conciliation, and seems to have made a personal appeal to the- officers who had resolved to resign rather than face the possibility of being called on to fight in Ulster, and it may be taken for granted the king is equally exerting his influence with his ministers in the same conciliatory direction. Proofs are not wanting of the desire on both sides that everything possible should be done to avoid any chance of conflicts. The nationalists have abandoned their proposed parade at Londonderry, and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unionist leader, continues to voice his desire to do his utmost to avoid provocative acts. The government announces that all Intended movements of troops in Ireland have now been completed, but this may be a decision necessitated by the threatened resignations of the officers.

Lieutenant Holtoiv Is detached from his -command In the navy at the outset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to important secret service duty. While dining- at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter In the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lad*-. She thanks him for his serves and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at -A ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure Important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she la a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton Is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At aea he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports "to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Oarcla's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the. American troops and to learn t M plea* of the Spanish navy. He de- * H l » t«»sted Cuban leader ta the work ^ | € tenanting trouble among the Cubans 111 the iMorests of the Spaniards. Holton i s Sstnei by friends of the spy and later Is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. CHAPTER IX—Continued. Holton's present Idea was to wait for the army to move, purposing to follow their advance, and under cover of the battle to enter Santiago. But as day after day passed it seemed to him as though the order to advance would be given. He went up to the Cuban camp several times, and on one of these occasions had a long conference with Garcia, to whom still maintaining his role as an English newspaper correspondent, he related the details of his mis- Adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's face clouded as Holton proceeded, and at the conclusion of his narrative he regarded the young officer sadly. "I do not doubt what you say, Mr. .Ogilve," he sighed gloomily, "but It is a hard blow. Jose Cesnola Is—was— one of our most trusted leaders. Now that I know, I can attribute many misfortunes to him, for ha was very much in our confidence. Very well! Friends, have deserted us, have traitorous before this—I shall In mind." Ml *nye in all elapsed before any Indication that the army was to move came to the surface. On the sixth day, June 30, however, orderly and aides began galloping down the roadway and the word came that the advance was to begin at four o'clock that afternoon. Holton wondered if the entire army was to move at once or whether each command was to take up the march at an appointed hour. At four promptly his question was answered when the entire force brok\ camp and crowded into the narrow jungle trail at practically the same minute. Holton followed along the trail with an infantry regiment The army was now marching into the wooded valley which bordered the high grass leading to and up San Juan hill, with the •mailer rise, Kettle Hill, on one side. As the day waned the men- who knew that on the morrow would come the supreme test, settled down for the night with grim facet. Midnight passed. Men stirred restlessly in their blankets. And in the rifle-pits that ribbed San Joan darkfaced men in blue drill uniforms called on the Virgin—and waited. Morning broke, eilent and fog laden. An orderly galloped up to General 8umner,%head*of the cavalry division, and presenting General Shatter's compliments, told him to move his division to the edge of the woods. "What shall 1 do when I get there r asked Sumner. "Await farther orders," was the rsply. , Holton strolled us to El Paso and found' the regulars and the Rough Riders resting on their arms. Grimes' men were training their guns on San Juan, and impatiently awaiting the word to open. flrsT It seemed ages to Holton before the order came, but come ft did at last The men of the,battcries sprang tensely into position, and a* a sharp order broke" the silence, a lean-faced^ man jerked mis arm sidewise. A line of thick, rod name leaped out of the long, thin musale, a bellying cloud o{ y*l» lowtshiwhite smofcs rolled aad tunv e r ~ W belche* forttTrls projectile, and soon all the guns were thundering with well-ordered precision. The men were all crouched now, waiting for orders. Over their heads the terrible hum of the Mauser balls was incessant Showers of leaves and branches fell among them. Every few seconds, it seemed, someone would tumble to the ground and lie motionless or else writhe in silent pain. Captain Mills was close by Holton's side when a ball struck that officer in the side of the head, back of the eyes, and passed clean through. Holton could even hear the sound the bullet made as It struck the skull, a dull impact, a thud like the clack ef two sticks. V, Holton bent over him and then left him for dead. Crouching close to the ground he made his way along the lines, determined to find a place where he could see something. He had viewed as much of this visitation of sightless death in these dense woods as, he could stand. Half-crawling, he suddenly came upon the Rough Riders in a fever of rage. Sumner had been ordered by Shafter to await orders here at the edge of the woods, but where were the orders? How long were they to be delayed 7 An hour from now there would be no Americans to receive orders. To Holton it appeared as though the army had been deserted, left to its fate when suddenly word came from Lieutenant Miley, representing General Shafter, who was 111, for Sumner's division to move at once on Kettle Hill, lying to the east of San Juan and somewhat nearer the trails from which the soldiers were to enter upon/ their attack. - Instantly from out of that fringe of woods and into the open, roofed with a torrent of lead, sprang the negro regulars and the Rough Riders, bawling their famous "yip yip" at the top of their lungs, while from a clump of trees near the San Juan ford Parker's little battery of gatling guns rattled incessantly. To the left, out of the woods, flowed regiment after regiment of white regulars, with that gallant soldier, Gen. Hamilton Hawkins, at their head, making for the blockhouse on San Juan hilL Holton, drawn irresistibly by the spirit of the conflict had seized a carbine from a dead soldier, and in his excitement he cut across from the. did, joined a heavy force of Spaniards lying there and turned their fire upon the hill they had so recently left. Thus a hall of lead flew upon and over the heights which the soldiers had taken, compelling the regulars, Rough Riders, and the white and negro cavalrymen, who had rushed over from Kettle Hill, to flatten themselves in the pits which had been prepared by the enemy. To Holton, as he lay huddled in a trench with a Rough Rider on one side of him and a dead Spaniard on the other, it seemed as though the immolation of the entire army must follow an attempt upon the entrenchments before the objective point of the campaign was attained, and yet such an attack was what he bad counted upon, as it would have enabled him, had he escaped the leaden storm, to make his way into Santiago. Cervera had threatened, in event of the success of the American land campaign, to turn his guns upon the city, and as long as his vessels were in their present position, they constituted a menace to the army that certainly presented prospects of the latter's ultimate success in rather a doubtful light And until the forts guarding the harbor were invested from the land side, a naval attack would prove too hasardous to undertake. Over toward El Caney the thunder of cannon and the racketing of small arms showed that Lawton and Chaffee were not having the easy time in taking the place that had been expected. Indeed Holton could see that it must be determined whether San Juan itself was to be held. All the men were now In the pits on the hill, discharging their weapons from cover, and keeping as close to mother earth as they could nestle. The situation, as it appeared to the navy man, was a curious one. The men had taken the hill, but what were they going to do with it? They could not go back and they could not go forward. Their position was surely an anomalous one. A fine lot of siege artillery, as Holton saw It, would solve the situation, and, indeed, as he thought this, a battery, red guidons flying and men cheering, came rolling and swaying up the hill. Quickly unlimbering, the men aimed hastily, and Bent a volley of projectiles Then came darkness. ^ For an hour Holton lay, wondering, doubting. How soon would it be before the army would move farther on toward Santiago? That it would be considerably delayed, Holton had reason to fear. He arose from his place of retreat with sudden resolution. Slowly he turned until he faced the lights of Santiago, and then with a half wave of his hand toward the brave men who had been his comrades, he stepped along the hilltop. Half-way down the hill he turned and made another gesture toward the American lines. It was a sort of farewell, a dramatic little act born of his state of mind. Being Interpreted, it might have read: "I, who am about to die, salute you." foot of Kettle Hill and found himself first on the edge of the small lake lying between Kettle Hill and San Juan bill, and then, as though the transition had been affected by magic, he was among Hawkins' infantrymen on the slope of San Juan—lying down and firing, then going forward in a crouching rush, just as he saw the men around him doing. Once, lying down, he looked behind and on either side and marveled that the long, thin blue line of charging men was not wiped out utterly. There seemed so few of them Here and there he saw advancing groups, and then again one man, yelling and firing all by himself. The bullets poured upon them pitilessly. Men were falling on all sides. As he veered along the slops of the hill a young regular officer passed him unconcernedly snapping pictures of the charge and yelling for his men to come on. He smiled at Holton, and Holton smiled back. Then with a yell the onrushing soldiers came to their first rifle-pit A few'dead 8panish soldiers lay in it but otherwise it was unoccupied. Into the long trench poured the men, firing a few volleys at the trenches above and then leaping out and piling on up the hill. Half-way up Holton saw a man with the shoulder-straps of a colonel, a nae*pp*armg fellow* with side whiskers. Hehad tamed to speak to Shelter's aids, Lieutenant Miley, who had just come up with the men of the Third cavalry. "How are you, colonel r smiled Miley. "How—H Cotonel Hamilton said no mora, for a bullet entered his open mouth and bads him kold his peace for evermore. And now the men began pouring up to the top of the hill, lying behind the crest and discharging bullets at the Spaniards who wort flsetng down the other side, staking helter^keher for their eniTSniliiiissei towsr* Santiago, sad not all He Cut Across From the Foot of Kettle Hlft flying into Santiago. But the huge yeHow clouds had no sooner arisen and the reports had not died away, than it seemed as if the fire of the entire Spanish force was concentrated on that row of guns on the hilltop. Shells screamed, bullets whined, artillerymen fell one after the other. Thus many minutes did not elapse before the gunners wont rattling away doVn the hill much faster than they had come up. The effect of this oa the minds of the men, hanging on the hW as though by their tooth, was not at all reassuring. Late in the afternoon Lawton and Chaffee stormed through from 10 Caney, where they sad their men had fought a magnificent battle, and printing reinforcements of four odd thousand, materially Increased the hopefulness Of the situation. At tno same time Gen. Jos Wheeler and bis staff came out to the trenches with determination not to yield aa lash of tks posftfto* pasted. Twttight fell aad alienee settled over the hilL CHAPTER X. Getting Into Santiago. The night was black, the Bkles had clouded over, and it was raining. Halfway down the slope of the hill Holton stumbled over something. He stopped and looked down and saw a group of four regulars contorted in death. _ Holton bowed his head in silent salute and passed on. The glory of war, he felt, must come after the war ia over. He had felt none of it all through the battle. The least offensive word be could apply to this day's business was that it had been sordid—a glut of blood. The wound in his head was hurting, and for the first time thoughts of blood poisoning assailed him. He had not had it dressed in two days. Still it was slight, and it might as well be poisoning as something else. For he had abandoned any hope of escaping his present venture with his life. All he asked, all he prayed was that he might be spared until he had accomplished something. Over his arm he carried a uniform and hat which he had taken from a dead Spanish soldier, and now sitting on the ground he divested himself of his clothing and put on that of the Spaniard. The fit was fairly good, and Holton decided that with his unkempt black hair, his beard which had not seen a rasor for several days, and his sunbrowned face he might very readily pass for a Spanish regular, at night at least Retaining his carbine and his web bullet-belt, he proceeded on his way, finally turning at right angles and making straight toward the hill* that flanked the city on the left He was now" at the first line ef entrenchments. They were well made and filled with men, most of them, apparently, sleeping. He saw some soldiers at work with spades, and walking up to one man who did not appew to be manifesting any great enthusiasm in his task, Holton seised the spade and throwing it over his shoulder, handed the man his carbine in ex change. He had decided it was time to rid himself of his gun. He did not expect to miss it as he still had his revolver and was very expert In its use. A number of soldiers armed wltl spade and pick-axes were moving about and for the first time Holtot began to see a clear way of gettlm Into the city. In fact, he joined « gang returning In that direction am walked along with them, imitating a* closely as possible their slouch!nt gait and their manner of carrying thelj implements. One of them finally addressed hint "Well, brother," he said, "the Amer leans will receive tomorrow as much as they expect" "They have fought well," muttered Holton, assuming a sort of husklnesf to hide any defects In accent "Like devils," wss the reply. "Yes, like devils," added another. "Where are you going V Holton asked. "To the barracks," said some one. "And I," rejoined Holton with a trace of pride, "am going into the city to present a letter from my colonel to 8enor La Tossa, who has, I have heard, s very handsome estate, near Cuabitas." "Ah, La Tossa!" said his companion. "Yes, do yoa know where he lives?" "Over that way," replied the man with s sweep of bis arm to the left "You must take the Santa Ines road, going northeast Inquire than of others you msy meet" "Well I shall first go to the city tor a drop of aguardiente, and then—" Holton shrugged, "pleasure first and duty afterward," The soldiers turned off into the out* skirts of the town. The rain was pattering dismally. It beat into Holton's face and ran in rivulets down the road. The lights ahead showed with a watery blur; it was in all s night that man or beast might wish himself indoors. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Detit Worry.

"BOUND FOR WESTERN CANADA" A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN, THAT STARTED -FROM NEBRASKA. Four horses abreast attached to a red painted prairie schooner, with windows and a protruding stovepipe, with the words, "Bound for Canada," on the schooner's side, was the object of considerable interest as It passed on the way northward from Nebraska a short time ago through the towns in Nebraska, South and North Dakota. After some weeks of strenuous traveling in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made the overland trip from Jameson, Nebraska, and with his little family made the regular customs entry at North Portal, in the province of Saskatchewan. Their destination was Willow Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen had selected as one in which it was possible for him to work out his fortune. He located on a good half sec* tlon of land, and intended putting on it some cattle that would fatten on the wild prairie grass that grows so luxuriously in that district. In addition to this his purpose was to cultivate a portion of it and raise wheat, oats, barley or flax. In short a life devoted to mixed farming was what he had in view and it is easy to understand that he will make a success of it and in a year or so will attach some more land holdings. Although his beginning may be small, it may safely be said that Mr. Jensen, like thousands of others who have begun life in western Canada on no more and with probably much less, will prosper. He will not be far from a line of railway. Schools will be close at hand and other social conditions so necessary in a new country are avail* able.—Advertisement. Mesothorium and Radium. Mesothorium differs from radium only in price and in a more rapid loss of power. Whereas it has been calculated that it would need 1,800 years before the energy of a gramme of radium is reduced by one-half, mesothorium retains its full energy only for the first few years. After this the force is gradually dissipated, until after 20 years only about onehalf of its original energy remains. Its great advantage over radium is Its comparative cheapness, although even for mesothorium the enormous sum of $50,000 per gramme is being asked.

"One of the most annoying and troublesome things to be met each winter in farm life, is the question of frozen water pipes," writes a contributor to the Country Gentleman.

After much experimenting [ finally hit upon the easiest, most inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. Melt equal quantities of vaseline and parafin wax together and, after wiping th« pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An oil lump or torch will easily k-ep it in a. liquid ctatc. Yon will find that no matter how cold the weather may net the frost cafinot penetrate this coat of grease.

W t i i « i n .\« wnyapwr Lniua.j '»»«»»»»»•» AMERICAN BANKER HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN Berlin, Germany.—"Some of us rubes are laughing a little at the bankers*' said a successful farmer to ua before we left the states. "We have actually farmed successfully for y0ars, have' studied farming in agricultural colleges. We think we know our business fairly well. It's certainly funny to read speeches by bankers telling us how to farm. I have come to the conclusion that the bankers know BO little about farm loans that they would do better to study and discuss their own business than to try to teach v us ours." And we have concluded that there is some force In what the farmer says. .The American Bankers' association and thirty state bank associations are actively promoting agricultural advancement The work undertaken by them includes soil surveys, experiments with fertilizers, hiring experts to make practical demonstration upon the farm, education in road matten, and so on indefinitely. The bankera are duplicating what the federal agricultural department Is doing, what every agricultural college is doing, and what every farmer's institute la doing. They are going into the field of production which is important but which after all is one In which the farmer remarked, "one is led to think that the bankers of the country have unanimously concluded that thay know their own business so thoroughly that their elevating educational instincts can get opportunity for expression only by doing missionary work among us lowly farmers and elevating this ignorant class to their own high plane of intelligence." Worst Banking for Wtrmen. We have been going through Europe accompanied by agricultural experts. We have talked with leaders in agriculture in several countries. We have read bulletins and books, galore on agricultural methods abroad. We consulted government specialists. We have seen and heard and studied about all the most scientific up-todate farming methods. But neither the experts with us nor we ourselves have been able to recall a single idea on agricultural production that is not being more or less widely worked out in America by these lowly farmers whom the bankers are so benevolently and condescendingly instructing. On the other hand so far as we can discover the United States is the only country in the civilised world where banking methods have not been in any degree adjusted to the needs of tike farmer. Sometimes over here in Europe the joint stock bank does the work. More often it Is a co-operative, credit bank that loans to farmers. But some bank stands ready to meet the. ^farmers' needs everywhere, except in* the United States. In America, as nowhere else, the banker takes the terms calculated to accommodate the city merchant and financiers and inflicts them upon the protesting farmer. Sixty and ninety day loans are Just what are needed in the •city, but they are of no possible use to the farmer. A merchant or commission mas gets his returns promptly and can'meet ninety day paper at maturity. But the fanner cannot buy calves or pigs and fatten them, mar ket them, and get returns short of a much longer period. The rural borrower who invests the borrowed -money in seeds or fertilisers cannot *nope to realise upon his investment short Of six or eight months. It Is and be his financial hacker. -not to much a question of Interest n* ot terms and methods. In many loealitWe intereU rates are fair. In swine places Interest on farm loans Is too high. But It is true everywhere la America that the hankers stubbornly refuse to the farmer the sort of loans which he needs.' And the hanker who sits behind the cashier's <fosk writing speeches about better turning d**ps his facile pea long • enough to crowd down the throat of some farmer patron who should have %n sight months loan, a three months San, which Is as apt to cripple as aj help him. ' Bow the man on the farm can borrow money advantageously and sco- BOtnically is an important question. It may not be so important as good aasxtwrting^but it is important enough. Ws-'lsan^^houhi be on terms which his occupation and his financial If he cannot got those tpsvjs from his banker he will htm to Beek loans elsewhere, or will he meet the needs of the farmer. There is little doubt that the banker could give' longer time on safe personal paper. There Is little doubt that he could arrange for long time real estate mortgages. When a farmer borrows to buy a farm and gives a mortgage for the loan there is no reason why It should not be a long time amortization mortgage permitting repayment In annual or semi-annual payments extending over ten, twelve or twenty years. Gilt Edge Security. A good first mortgage on real estate running for a considerable period of time is recognized the world over as a gilt edged loan. Financiers are accustomed to advise it as the safest investment for trustees, widows and others who are not able to pass upon the character of miscellaneous investments. The president of one of the great life insurance companies makes the statement that his company in its history of forty-six years has loaned $lS3,8ft8,&49.44 to TS.10J farmers, secured by mortgage on 11,462,86$ acres, the average loan being $1,782. The net lose after paying all costs, fees, assessments and penalty interest rates was fourteen-hundredth* of one per oent This is substantially the history of all properly organised farm land mortgage business. Some $600,- 000,000 in farm mortgages are carried by our life insurance companies—an amount equal to 35 per cent, of the total farm mortgages shown by the census. If a farm loan for three years is a good loan, one for ten or fifteen or twenty years is good, too, but no American bank makes these long loans. Why? We have never been able to get any adequate answer to this question. The general response is an unsatisfactory one, "It isn't good banking to make such long farm loans," which Is another way of saying what we have said before, that the city banker will not meet the needs of the farmer borrower. There seems to be therefore no reaeon why this fact that a long time farm loan is a gilt edged loan should not be taken into account in fixing the Interest. It is not possible that the Interest on these loans should be near (he rate which Is received upon bonds, either municipal or Industrial. The city banker will investigate fully the integrity and earning capacity of every factory that wants a loan. Is there any reason why the American banker should not put himself in a position to investigate the honesty and earning capacity of the farmer who needs money, thus permitting him to capitalise his character as do bankers abroad? On the whole after looking over the situation at home and abroad it is not surprising that the farmer sometimes suggests that bankers might well study their own activities rather than to be butting in upon the farmer's business. Over here in Germany the bankers were formerly as slow as those of America are now to meet this demand for rural credit So cooperative credit came and It came to stay. It does the work and it does it well. The question that is upJn America is simply a question as to whether or not the American banker is going to insist that the American farmer solve his own difficulties or whether be, the banker is going to solve' It for him Morloaoe Leone in Germany, A co-operative loan on long mortgages is no new experiment One hundred and forty years ago the were organised in Prus- A war Uke period culminating in the Seven Tears' War had reduced the greater part of Prussia to a pitiable state of doyastaUon, The owners of large estates, which had borne the brunt of the war charges were poverty stricken. Hence in 17W Frederick II issued a royal decree en-, abilng these owners of large landed estates to secure capital necessary to revive their agricultural interests by joining together in securing a co-operative loan. While at met these loans were granted to only the owners of the largo estate this system was afterwards adapted so that the, smaller land owner could profit by I t The owner who wishes to secure a loan gives a mortgage to the association. He fr,r«no£*dr to pay interest at the rttVfiny try to get them elsewhere. tats of from three sad a half Tfeo fueetion is will the banker fosse | to four par sent and nay borrow op to two-thirds of the value of his farm. This valuation Is arrived at by capitalizing the income which he can get off from it. It is characteristic of European finance that the farm values are fixed largely by consideration of the actual earning capacity of each farm. Apparently the price which a neighboring farm may bring has little to do with the value which is placed upon any particular farm. The theory is and It seems to be sound, that the value of the farm is not so much where it lies as it is what will it earn. When the association has a group of those mortgages It pledges them by a trust deed, and issues a series of bonds secured by the pledge ot the mortgages. These bonds are then sold and usually bear an interest of from three to three and one-half per cent. The association not only pledges the association Itself so that in a sense every member of the association is back of the bonds. These bonds have alwayB brought a good price even in the most difficult times financially. The mortgage given by the land owner is not due at the end of a certain number of years, at which time the entire principal must be paid as are American farm mortgages. Instead they run for from twenty to sixty years with an agreement incorporated into the mortgage that each year the farmer shall pay a certain sum of money which shall Include interest and a small installment upon the principal. In this way the mortgagor gradually pays off his mortgage paying little more than the amount which would, in America be required as Interest alone. The chief advantage to the farmer is in this fact that he is allowed to pay off the loan by making small annual or semi-annual payments. Other, advantages are that he will never have to renew the mortgage which will continue to run until the payments have cleared the farm of the debt; he will never be compelled to pay any renewal commission, and will never have to go to the expense of bringing down his title or having it examined every two years, as is done under our American system. Retffeoon and 8ohuJz*-DeJltzsch. The Reiffeson and Schulze-Delitzsch banks are smaller community institutions, organized upon the co-operative 'plan, and are not operated for profit to the investor. Reiffeson banks operate more particularly in the country while the Schulze-Delitzsch banks operate largely in urban communities. The Reiffeson Is the most purely cooperative. While the Reiffeson banks loan money for a long period of time they do not generally loan for so long a period of time as do the Landschaften. They receive deposits from their members, paying them interest as do savings banks. The one at Cassel, Germany, which can be taken as a fair representative of Its type charges 6½ per cent, on short time loans. They pay 4% per cent, on deposits, which are left with them for an agreed long period of time, and 4 per cent, on deposits left for a shorter time. It is found, however, that the rate of interest varies in different places. Since these banks must meet the competition of the joint stock and savings banks In each community. They generally are able to compete successfully for the reason their expenses are very light their officers usually serving without salary and since they do not wish to make any large profits to pay off any investors as do the other banks. Go 8fow. The best rural credit system in the world, if actually in operation would not prove a cure-all for our present rural ailments. It would not get you anywhere. The farmer who has negotiated a loan upon the most favorable terms has made no actual advance. He. is just whereflne was before. If I am running a le/ing business the more money I borrow the worse off I am. If I am not producing a good product which I can market readily and profitably, the less I put into my business the better. Rural credit without good farming and good marketing is a delusion and a snare. Bssfly obtained loans are no substitutes for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Rural credit can do just one thing. It can enable a man to get possession of a farm and the equipment with which to farm. If the farming business into which the loan launches him Is not a paying business the loan has simply injured him by getting him into a losing venture. I said a Joan win enable him to get possession of a farm and equipment This possession is temporary and will be of.no permanent advantage unless he makes the land and equipment his own by repaying the loan and of his honest and hard won earning. After all it is rural earnings which spell success and good marketing conditions whether co-operative or otherwise are * n absolute SHORTEST WAY HOME By KATHERINE HQP80N. Women Make Good, .

It's a good chance—better than we can offer you here, perhaps for years." Mr. Denham, managing editor of the Recorder, shook hands with Dick Stewart cordially. The younger man, after thanking him, passed out of the office with a little glow of pride and happiness. "Old Denham's a mighty good sort and he's right I'm a lucky chap to get the place," he mused as 'he left the private office. The outer office, which had been well occupied when Stewart passed for his interview with Mr. Denham, was now practically deserted. The men had gone to fill their assignments—except Fred Davis. He was clicking away at his typewriter. "Good luck to you," he said, looking up with his keen, peculiar smile. Stewart left the office to fill his last assignment before taking his new position. He was sebt to cover the suburban territory of Rockbridge, and departed with more than usual alacrity. Margaret Wheaton's path lay in the same direction today. When she came six months ago to fill the position of society reporter for the office, he had fallen in love with her big brown eyes, her kindliness, her spontaneous gayety, and the general deamess of her. But he recognized the fact that Fred Davis also had fallen victim to her charms. "No wonder he congratulated me so heartily on my new job; for it leaves the way clear for him," SUwart thought with a cynicism foreign to him. "Well, at last I have a man-slse job, and I am justified in speaking to Margaret." He quickened his steps toward the interurban station, and was so occupied that he failed to notice a tall, slender, keen-eyed man dodge into the waiting room, anti then watch to see which car he—Stewart—entered before getting on himself and entering the smoker. Nor did he see him repeat the same watchful performance before they both alighted at Rockbridge. Stewart hastily covered his own territory, then hastened to the church where the Patton-Whltney wedding had just taken place, the reporting of which was Margaret's object In coming to Rockbridge. She had come down on an earlier car, and Stewart had timed himself so that he might arrive on the scene when she was finished with her work. Then he could return to town with her. He found reporters from other papers there and stood a few moments in the fragrant flower decorated church In which strains of the wedding music seemed still to linger. Margaret was not there and he made inquiries. Some one told him she had just gone; but whether to the station or to the Whitney home where the reception was to be, he couldn't say., Stewart looked at his watch. "There won't be another car for three-quarters of an hour yet I guess she's gone to the house." Accordingly he made his way to the place in question. It was one of the largest, most pretentious homes in the suburb. Many persons in wedding attire were streaming to the reception when he reached the house, and he made his way through the guests and onlookers with which the walk was lined. From one of the caretakers he learned that Margaret had been there. By announcing himself as a representative of the Recorder he gained entrance. Everybody . except the girl he was looking for seemed to be there, and the most careful search failed to reveal her. "Say, how many people does your paper send out to write up these so> cial affairs?4 asked one of the guests whom he .knew. "One—usually. Whyr "Well, you're the third this afternoon who has presented himself in that capacity. I believe the first one was a her/' laughed the man. "Miss Wheaton, of course, our ragular society reporter. But I don't know any other from our office who would bo hero." "Oh, ha was a tall, slim chap, with shifty dark eyes." "The description fits Davis, but he was* sitting in the office when X left" Stewart rapidly retraced his steps to the station, and found to his chagrin that la his search he had not allowed himself enough margin to catch the next car, and missed it by about three minutes. He oould see It disappearing in the distance. "Yes, Miss Wheaton got on the drawled the station agent s* to the question. "Was any one with h e r n T e s , that tall chap who lbs sporting news." dow. eluded grimly* "Bat how It the world did he get here?" Then sober reason told him that the only way was on the same car as himself. Cut across back way and got on the smoker." He sat down and wrote out in full the notes of the legal transfers he was sent to cover. "I can slap them off on the typewriter when I get back," he told himself. His sense of resentment was growing. He had-received the letters from New York that morning giving final acceptance of his application for a position, had strongly advised him to take morning train. "They don't leave you much to pack your trunk and make farewell calls on these New York jobs. There are too many others waiting around to snap up the place," the managing editor had said. Stewart had decided to take his advice^ till planning how he might have a chance to talk with Margaret She knew he had applied for the position, but as she was away all morning on an assignment, she didn't know of his acceptance. "Every minute is precious, "for I have a thousand things to do," fumed the young fellow, as he paced restlessly up and down the platform. "It was a low trick of Davis to beat me to it here, when he knew I was going away so soon." At last the next car came and bore him back to town. When he reached the office it was just as he expected. Margaret had gone home to dinner.' He called up her boarding place. She was there, but when he asked to come down that evening she replied that she was going to report another wedding which was going to occur in that vicinity that evening. "But you may come and go with me if you like. It won't take me long." When he told her of departure next day, her invitation: more insistent With good-by handshake* to members of the staff, Stewart left the office. On the way to hiB room he stopped and got lunch at a restaurant, then he went off home and began hastily to pack his trunk. As he-worked he glanced around the bare little room where he. had passed many lonely, homesick, discouraging moments. "I've hated the place, but it seems quite like home when I go to leave it" He thought of his old, pleasant home In the little town of Carbon which he had left to take hjs first newspaper position here, and his sense of homesickness increased. "It will all be to do over again when I reach New York, only it will be much harder to gain a foothold there." He found Margaret waiting for him when he reached her boarding place. She had on her wraps, and her brown eyes were shining under the smart little toque. On the way he told her more about his new position, and his hopes and plans for making good. She was all kindness and attention, yet, withal, he had the sensation that she was trying to steer the conversation away from personalities. It seemed to tftm that she dragged out the work ily long at the house; and were at last free to go, he took ters into his own hands, and Insisted that the longest way round was the shortest way home. "Has Davis asked you to marry himT he asked. At first she looked offended, then she said archly, "What if he has?" "I want to know if you accepted him." v "I probably shouldn't be walking here with you If I had," she laughed. "What difference does it make?" "Merely, that I'm going to ask yon the same thing." And. he poured out the love and longing of the last months. "Instead of the waste of boarding houses It would mean home—and that's as near heaven as we ever ant on this earth, I reckon," he ended hum* kily. For a few moments there was silence, add they walked on-beneath the trees which rustled their dry leaves in the soft autumn night He, In alternate hope and despair; she, with her eyes turned away, gased up at the hasy harvest moon. But by the light of it, when her glance met his, he could see they were full of "X, too, am tired of reflected joy," she answered slowly, nodding toward her reporter's note-book ho was. ear* rylng.

Yawning is said to have an exceedingly healthful function besides having s salutory effect in complaints of the pharnyx and the eustachian tubes. According to investigations yawning is the most natural form of respiratory muscles of the neck and chest It is recommended that every person should have a good yawn with the stretching of the limbs morning and evening for the purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonlfying the respiratory muscles. An eminent authority asserts that this form of gymnastics has a remarkable effect in relieving throat and ear troubles, and says that patients suffering from disorders of the throat lave esylved great benefit from it. j|$jLiail he makes his patients yawn, ay smafestion or imitation, or by a series of deep breaths with the lips partly closed. The yawning is repeated six or seven times, and should be followed by swallowing. By this process the air and mucus in the eustachian tubes are aspirated. PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS 411 Howard S t , Dayton, Ohio.— "About a year ago my face, neck, arms and back were beginning to become afflicted with pimples and blackheads. My pimples would get very large and appear to come to a head. If I tried to open them the pain would be terrible, but nothing could be taken from them.

The Noisy Noyes Again. Exra Pound, the Philadelphia poet whose work has thrilled London, said the other day of Alfred Noyes, his British rival: "Noyes declares that my torch of diluted Browninglsm, after a feeble splutter, has gone out. Now, in revenge, let me tell you a story about Noyes and Swinburne. "Some time after Rossettl's death Noyes wrote a long memorial poem. He was so proud of this poem that he waylaid Swinburne one morning on Putney common and insisted on reading it to him. "Swinburne tired to escape, but Noyes bawled the whole 30 stanzas into his poor deaf ear. Then, at the end, he said, with a complacent smile: " There, sir, is my poem on Rossettl. What do you think of it?' " 'It would be better/ Swinburne answered, i f foii had died and Rossettt had written the poem.'" Like and Like. William Dean Howells said the other day of a certain type of "best seller" hovel: "The men who write these books are intellectually debased, and the public they~wrlte for is intellectually debased also. The thing reminds me of an anecdote. "'What are you doing, dear?' a mother said to her little four-year-old daughter. " tm writing a letter to Alice/ the youngster replied.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 2, 1914 No. 1' To The Taxpayers Of Livingston County At the election to be held April (J, 1914 th»jre will be a proposition oome before the taxpayers to vote upon to raise money bo build an addition to the County Infirmary. There eeems to be a feeling among a great many taxpayers that this is an unnecessary expense and that this improvement is being made for the benefit of the keeper and bis family. While it is true that the new addition, if built, would be occupied by the keeper's family aud the hired help, yet by so doing, they will vacate some of the best rooms in the house to make room for the women inmates. As the building now stands there is only OLC vaeaut room in the ladie*s ward. If it should happ3n that two women should be sent there at the present time it would be impossible to take care of them and this is liable to happen at any time. Tne oew part for whica we %re asking far three thousand dol 1 ars($3,000.- 00)to build will consist of a kitchen, pantry, four bed rooms, and a dining room in the base men ti for the inmates. If the taiptgpefft see fit to vote to raise the money to make this improvement on the County Infirmary it will be built on the same lines as the old building and not an elaborate affair as some people seem to think. This building-proposition is not an idea that originated with the present Board of Superintendents of the Poor but came thru an order from the State Board of Corrections and Charities to make such improvements as would remove t h e congested c o n d i t i o n of the home aud make it more Binitary. If something - is not done the State will take, the matter in hand and if they do it will cost us much more than if we take care of it ourselves. The following table will show what it will cost each township in the county according to the assessed valuation. Valuable Coin Collection L. E. Richards of this town has in his possession one of the finest private collections of coins in the state of Michigan, the oldest dating back as far as 500 B. C. There are among them the penny, (denarius) of Bible times so called because in ancieat times it consisted, denis assibus, (of ten a3ses.) ft was a Roman silver coin equal to about 7| d. of our money. A coin used in the Spain conquered by Julius Caesar is also one which young Latin students would be interested in. There are coins of silver and copper belonging to the reigns of old Roman kin^s dating from 500 B. C. dowp to 1646'A. D. The collection has been sent to several exhibitions and has always merited much praise. The coins are mounted between glass in a unique 'manner so that both faces may be readily studied. An accurate description of each denomination is written below each piece of mooeji. Mr. Richards has been offered a large sum of money to part with the collection, hut is wise in still retaining them in his possession. wsihtps Assessed Valuation Township Tickets The Democrats met last Saturday Afternoon and with a big torn out nominated the following ticket; Supervisor, James M.

Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing How It Is Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW 8. DUDGEON. •o»oo»»o»»»o»o»o»»»»»»» lOop^rlnht, i a i 4 , VWutern N e w s p a p e r Union. > COOPERATIVE GERMANY. Berlin, Germany.—The German farmer calls upon co-operation to sell him his supplies. He asks it to market his eggs and his butter. It distils alcohol out of his potatoes and makes wine for him out of his fruit. Everywhere in Germany you will find cooperative elevators and warehouses for storing grain, co-operative societies for improving the breed of live stock, co-operative banks for furnishing loans to members, co-operative insurance companies for insuring against every imaginable damage. Cooperative societies are formed to meet the needs of agriculture at every turn —producing the raw material, converting the raw material into salable form, and placing the finished product upon the market "Agricultural, co-operative societies have become so numerous in Germany as almost to jostle one another. There are at the present time more than 26,- 000 of them." These are the words of Henry Wolff, the great authority upon agricultural co-operation, and we have found his statement true. These 26,- 000 societies have nearly two and a half million members. Over half of these societies are credit associations, •which have a working capital of over $400,000,000. Moreover, the number of societies and the number of mem* tors are constantly Increasing. How German Farmer Co-operates. Everything the German farmer does he does co-operatively. If he wishes to purchase a farm he gets a 50 or 60 year loan from a Landschaften bank. "When he finds it necessary to buy implements or live stock, or seeds, he uses money borrowed from a co-operative credit society, making short time loans. He gets MB equipment of a cooperative store which furnishes him a guaranteed article at the lowest possible price. For when co-operation sells to the farmer, everything from garden seeds to threshing machines is guaranteed. If he wishes to insure his property he goes to a co-operative insurance company, which will insure Bis crops against loss by hall or wind; another cooperative insurance agency Insures his house against fire, while another insures his live stock against aicknesB, accident, or legal destruction, following the discovery of tuberculosis or other contagious disease. His stock cattle come to him from a co-operative breeding farm. From cooperative associations he gets his sci- -entifle instructions at to the care of rfcls cattle, as to the best feeds, as to the cure of animal diseases, as to the valuation of crops, as to fertilizers. His milk and cream he takes to a cooperative creamery, from which it is •old cooperatively. His very hens lay co-operative eggs which within an hoar after they are laid may bear the •tamp of a cooperative organization. Water 8upply Companies. One form in which cooperation has t evinced its efficiency in Germany 1B \ a rather unique one, and is one which tat least in some parts of the United ftates is worthy of careful study by American farmers. Scattered through- * o«t Germany there are many cooperative societies for supplying water to its members. There are in the province of Hanover alone, for example, 35 pack companies. Whether the community has been large or small, these smppty companies have generally sue- The advantages of co-operation in attfj.irtTftt; the problem of water supply have been thus summarised: "By cooperation a sufficient sum of money can be raised to enable a source of water to be tapped, unquestionable as to purity, softness and fluality; 2, Cooperation ensures extreme economy in maintenance and management; 3. Cooperation enables the smallest community to provide itself with a really good water supply." It is not impossible that there Is in this German experience a suggestion for the irrigation companies in western America, where mismanagement and graft seem to have prevailed. Certainly a truly co-operative association ganized upon the one man one vote plan, freed from all motives of excessive or speculative profits, and managed with the efficiency that Is traditional in cooperative concerns could never have made shipwreck of so many fair prospects as have some of the irrigation companies in the western states. Plowing by Steam. The owners of the big wheat farms in the northwestern parts of the United States might sit up and take notice of some of the cooperative power plow companies which are, operating in Germany. At present there are 46 -such societies. The entire power equipment is owned by the society, and its members, even though they occupy comparatively small farms, are by this means enabled to have the benefit of the Improved and cheaper work of the power plow. Experience here shows that the power plowing plant, consisting of a set of plowsr tackle and steam or electric power, cannot be maintained economically unless it4 has something like 2,000 acres upon which to operate. The Concerns are most carefully managed. A good machinist Is always in charge of the outfit In addition to his salary he is allowed a commission upon every acre plowed. He has entire charge of the operations and requires all members to remove all obstructions before work is undertaken. The rates are carefully graded according to the soil, the depth and the accessibility. In some cases, also, a less charge is made for plowing during the slack periods, the price being raised as the demand for services of the equipment increases. Cooperative Societies Federated. The cooperative spirit has not ceased when it has led the farmer to cooperate with his neighbors to form a local co-operative concern. The German genius for organization has led to a most elaborate system of coordination between the various local cooperative associations. For example, all cooperative dairies within a province will be united together In a central association which unifies and harmonizes the work of all the local organisations. These central provincial societies are in turn in an empirewide federation with headquarters at Berlin. Ton will therefore in that city find several central concerns, each of which Is allied with hundreds of local societies. This centralization scheme has many advantages. It provides for supervision, Inspection, and audit which leads to good accounting systems and good business methods. The central office serves as a bureau of information and advice. In case of marketing the central society, by reason of Its size and financial resources, gets into markets which would be altogether inaccessible to the little local concern. Without centralisation German cooperation would be much less effective than It la Increased Quantity. Here in Germany, as elsewhere, cooperation has not only enabled the farmer to make the most out of what he produces, but has increased the quantity and improved the quality of the product itself. This haa been true in every line where cooperative organizations have become active. The results in dairying are fairly representative. In Bradenburg tests were made in 1908 which covered the production of over 1,000 cows. The average yield of milk per cow was found to be 2,661 kilograms, producing 95 kilograms of butter, and netting a profit of 108.06 marks per cow. In 1910 the average yield had increased to 2,885 kilograms of milk, producing 101 kilograms of butter, and netting 132.95 marks profit for each cow, an Increase of 24.59 marks per cow, a matter of (5,000 on the 1,000 cows. German Cooperation Democratic. German cooperation 1B, to paraphrase the recognized formula for democracy "of the members, by the members, and for the members." Nobody thinks of a German co-operative society as organized for the purpose of declaring dividends. The utmost returns that those who hold shares receive is a five or six per cent, profit. If a creamery, for example, finds itself with undivided profits it does not distribute them to the members in proportion to the shares they hold, but to the members who as patrons bring in the milk and cream, and they go to them in proportion to the quantity and quality furnished by each. These profits constitute as it were an additional price, which the patrons receive for their product. All, too, are managed upon the "one man one vote" plan. The member who holds only one share and brings in the milk of only one cow has the same voting power as the farmer with a thousand shares and a thousand cows. Co-operation is most emphatically democratic. German co-operators themselves ascribe the success of their societies largely to good quality and good business methods. The societies pride themselves upon the fact that their output is better than that of privately owned plants. Their goods are in demand, they say, not because they are cooperative goods, but because they are good goods. The societies almost without exception have required that managers shall be skilled men with both experience and training. These positions pay good salaries, and, candidates spend time and money quail" fying themselves to hold them. As a result these concerns are most businesslike in every particular. The plants are efficient, the employers competent, and most excellent accounting systems are in vogue. Cooperative Credit. It Is noticeable that in Germany there are more cooperative credit societies than marketing societies. Moreover, the average German enthusiast will tell you that co-operation naturally begins with co-operative credit, rather than with cooperative marketing. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in America cooperative German Cooperative Elevator. credit associations should precede cooperative marketing. -Conditions in Germany differ greatly from those in the United States. In the first place, the privately owned banking houses of Germany did not serve the German farmer even as adequately as the American banker is now serving the American fanner. In the second place, marketing In Germany presents practically none of the difficulties encountered in America. Germany has by high tariffs forced the consumer to depend upon domestic production. The local demand for almost every farm product exceeds the supply. As a result there are two buyers demanding butter, for example, when only enough butter for one is available. There are no long hauls, as in America, no long distance commission business. The producer more nearly meets the consumer face to face and gets his price. German marketing as compared to American is direct, simple, and tree trem complexities. We must take the counsel of the German who ranks oo-operetive credit ae more important than, cooperative marketing with caution, since he has dealt with reversed conditions. We are firmly convinced, after ft careful survey, that at least in America, the more prosperous scheme of cooperative marketing is more important than cooperative credit ••'.,•• Boston's Celebration. One hundred years ago March 18 Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth anniversary of the evacuation of the city by the British troops under General Wilkinson during the Revolution. The celebration naturally was accompanied by a great display of enthusiasm, for the second war with Great Britain was then in progress and the spirit of patriotism was running high. Flags were displayed la profusion by the citizens and salutes were fired by the ships of war in the harbor. A large military and civic parade was the spectacular feature of the day. In the evening there were fireworks and illuminations and a public banquet at which patriotic addresses were delivered by officials of the state and city and officers of the army and navy. DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD 2760 Tamm Ave., St Louis, Mo.— "My little daughter's head began with a dry harsh scale covering it. .First it got a white scale over the top and then It got a dirty brown scab with pus under it. Her hair came out in less than, a week and her head Itched and bled. She had no rest. I had her wear a scarf all the time, it looked so badly. She was so sore and had such big brown scabs on her head that the teacher would not let her attend school. "We took and had her treated for three months with no relief. She kept getting worse until I tried Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cutlcura Soap every third day and the Cuticura Ointment at night. In three weeks her head was well of sores. Two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment completely cured her." (Signed) Mrs. Walter Rogers, Nov. 28, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

What Is said to be the largest stone ever cut by human hands lies in an abandoned quarry near the ruins of Baalbek, in Syria. This mammoth obelisk is about seventy-five feet wide. Its weight Is estimated at fifteen hundred tons. High up in the wall of an old castle at Baalbek are other stones nearly as large. No one knows when the massive blocks were quarried, or how they were moved from place to place and hoisted into position, for the race that hewed them into shape carved no inscriptions or memorials upon them.—Youth's Companion. Had Sense of Gratitude. An old man walked two miles through the snow in New York city in order to carry an egg to the headquarters of one of the charitable organizations. The Boclety had given him a vacation in the country and a farmer had given him two pullets on leaving, so he had promised the first egg to the people who had been kind to him. Mother's Forgetfulness.

BRIGHT STRIPES THE VOGUE Colors and Combinations for Spring May Almost Be Described as Glaring. The Roman stripes with their das* sling bright hues are to be worn this spring by women. From all indications the red and gold stripes are to be displayed In erery possible guise, say the merchants. In vests and saahea and even in more startling ways the bright stripes are to be worn. The most popular way of wearing the Roman colors will be In sashes.. They are being shown In the stores made with a bow in the back, built high and with draping tassels on the side. The stripes also will be seen on the hats. The ribbons will be draped about the hat and will allow a sort of tassel to hang from the side or back. Other styles will be striped vests. Vests have been worn all winter, but the brighter stripes are to be the spring style. These are to be made with long points and cut on the bias, allowing the stripes to slant away from the points. FASHION HINTS are made to exactly fill the four quarter- spaces of the table. It is also a fine card table,. The amazingly low price for table and chairs is $21. It Is In dull old oak. An oblong, three-shelved stand, with a handle stretching above the top shelf, was seen at $12. This was similar to a muffin Btand, but newer of design. A delightful dining room accessory Is a fern stand. It has a zinc lined flower box, and is about the height of an ordinary table. These fern stands are often very handsome. One of mahogany with cane insets was seen at $17. This had square ends. And one with rounded box ends cost $20. A dull oak stand was $11. A mahogany tea-wagon, which Is shown In the last drawing, costs $20, and another one In oak and cane, with a cretonne-filled tray, Is $25.

"~v . White Gowns for Spring. So many and various of type are the white gowns now being made up for spring service, that unquestionably a "white" season confronts us. The costumes likely to be first worn—at after Easter church weddings and the like—are those in taffeta made up into skirts with circular flounces and into bodies trimmed with narrow ruffles, and the embroidered voiles, veiling bengaline slips. Somewhat less elaborate are the ratine gowns made up with heavy filet lace and with girdle and pipings In colored voile, and the wool crepons with embroidered batiste yoke and sleeves. New Handkerchiefs. There Is quite a departure from customary handkerchief styles this season.

Blight's disease 1B one of the final stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills la our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two—consumption and pneumonia. Bright'* disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney disease and uric poisoning. When urio acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by overindulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there ia headache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine. Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stone in the kidney, or crystallizes into Jagged bits in the muscles, joints or on the nerve tubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney colic. «4 I dortt know what ails nu.** It is but a further step to dropsy or Bright's disease.

CORN CAN BE GROWN ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES Manitoba is now commencing to produce considerable corn, chiefly for feeding purposes. In some cases, where the crop can be matured into the dough stage, silos could be used and would be a profitable investment According to the Farm and Ranch Review, a correspondent visited a field of corn in southern Manitoba on September 28. The corn then was untouched by frost and it stood on an average eight and nine feet in height. The corn had developed into the dough stage, and the crop would easily exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many experimental farms, the same favorable showing of the corn crop has manifested Itself. At the Brandon experimental farm this year several varieties, all very good ylelders, matured into good silo corn. Considering the success with which corn can be produced, and the advantages to be gained by so producing it, should not It receive the serious attention of the western agriculturist? Corn is successfully grown in the northern part of Minnesota In similar soil and under the same climatic condition, and there does not appear to be any reason why like results should not be secured in western Canada. It Is the opinion of many American farmers of experience that the corn belt is extending northward. The prairie provinces must gradually take up with mixed farming. More stock on the farms must be raised, and In consequence farming must to some extent be diverted from grain growing to other necessary crops. If crops suitable for wialf/ing^attle and especially dairy stock are to be grown, why should not corn be one of these crops? In Ontario and in the United States we find it forms the main bulky food for wintering beef and dairy cattle. They would not be without this profitable plant. In fact, since Its introduction almost twice as much stock can be retained on the same amount of land, besides considering Its great value for keeping Che land clean. Some may say that many crops that can be grown in Ontario and the States cannot be grown here, but not so with corn, even now we find scattered fields of corn in Alberta and Saskatchewan,—Advertisement Eloquence is ordinary gab with its Sunday garments on.

TITLE OF ACT NOT GERMANE TO BODY. 8tate Highway Department Will be Compelled to Abandon Twentyfive Pvr Cent of State Reward Roads. SAYS DEATH RATE AMONG It.DIANS IS GROWING Lansing, Mich.-—The automobile tax law passed by the 1913 session of the legislature was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court Thursday. It ig one of the most important decisions rendered by the court this year. The aecretary of state has already collected more than 1286,000 from automobile owners in the state at 50 cents a horsepower, and has a gigantic task in remitting back the difference of about 1190,000, between the usual $3 license and the amount paid. At least 11,000 checks and vounchers will have to be made out Owners of electric machines will have to pay again, as many of these cars were not taxed as much under the new law as under the old license system. The supreme court only passed on one question, the title of the act It holds that the act is a tax law and that the body of the act Is not germane to the title of the act. In its opinion the court says in part: "The clear purpose of the legislature in exacting so large an amount under the guise of regulation, makes it a tax measure, which clearly, is not covered by the title of the act "The obvious purpose of the new law, increasing the fees according to horsepower, was to increase the highway fund. There'can be no more labor or expense In registering a vehicle of high horsepower than in registering one of low horsepower, and the only reasonable purpose In the graduated fee it the increased revenue." Officials of the state highway department to which the funds derived from the tax was to ge say that the division will mean that at least 21 per seat of the state reward reads to have boon built this year will have to be given up, that the department will have to quit payment en state roads late la August or early In September. The trunk line fund is intact and will not be disturbed. The auto tax law was the outgrowth of the effort of the state legislature, to provide for a system of trunk line highways, forming a network throughout the state. CATO SELL8.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his Command In the navy at the .^jtfset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to Important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful J'oung- lady. She thanks him for hie servce and gives her name aa Mias La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Hoiton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They m*et on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she Is a Cuban a>y and expresses doubt regarding the ncerity of the Urrfted States. Holten Is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who Is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton Is ordered to • return to Tampa. He-saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Oarcia's command In the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots Against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. XaMton Is seised by friends of the spy and liter is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes find saves the American troops from fallng Into a Spanish ambush. He learns from Gen. Garcia that the spy Is Joss Cesnola, one of the moat trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle.at San Juan. CHAPTER X.—Continued. Presently he came to a street which presented a vista of a long line of fttreet lamps. Evidently It led into the heart of the city. Holton followed It past stores and houses, until at length he stood in the patio before the "palace." Here there were lights in all the windows. Evidently the official machinery was working overtime. The lights gave him a sense of comfort, the doubtful sort of comfort that a man out In the cold feels when he looks in at a company gathered about a genial fire, Holton's emotions were those of a pariah. He was an outcast, and more than that an outcast who would speedily feel a hempen rope about his neck If he were not extremely careful. Somehow the thought that he was a spy had slipped his mind for the time being. For more than an hour he stumbled along, leaving the city, crossing the tracks of the Sabanllla and Maroto railroad, until he came to a gate guarded by a thatched lodge. Upon the wails of the gate were emblasoned the Spanish coaterf-anns. It was thrown back, and a soldier stood In the opening. "Who comes there?" he asked, bringing his gun across his chest "Cardenas," cried Holton, giving the countersign as he had heard It several times that night He walked forward. 1 have a message from General Toral for Senor La Tessa. Doee be Mrs here?" be added. The sentinel threw bis gun into the hollow of his arm. "No," he replied. 'Ton must walk up this road two miles.. It is the first estate on your left" Holton politely thanked the soldier and proceeded on his way. His shoes were caked with mud and his clothing dragged heavily. And he was both tired and sleepy. He moved as though In a dream. He was really not more than half awake. And yet he was not aware of the passage of a great amount of time when he passed in front of another thatched lodge, with the dark outlines, ofa large house, lying back oa the top *of*a gent)e hill There wai no soldier at the gate here, and as he walked up the winding path he could not discover a single light in the great man* ejon. At least he could see nothing In the way of illumination until he got Quite close, and then through a crevice in the tightly drawn shades of what apparently was one of the larger rooms he made out a tiny gleam, At least the house was not deserted. He walked close to the window-and found that the front veranda passed under it 80 he mounted' the steps sad, stealing to the window, glued bis eye to the crevice. He could see a table, and around !t some men in uniform, drinking and smoking. The figures were, of course, Indistinct, and although Holton could eaten the sound of their voices, he could not make out what was being •aid. As he crouched thus under the window- ledge the front door opened, and a flfaie end of the long veranda. Here the man emitted a low whistle, which was not answered. With a muttered exclamation, the stranger retraced his steps, and, walking directly past Holton In the other direction, leaned over the railing and whistled again. Holton never afterward knew what possessed him, but he noticed that the man had left the front door slightly ajar. Acting upon quick thought, he suddenly leaned down, unlaced his shoes, and then, with a quick glance at the fellow still leaning over the railing and cursing under his breath, he stole from his position, made for the open door, and slipped hastily and noiselessly Into the halL A light with a deep red shade was burning here, and the shadows it cast were heavy. The door of the room into which he had been peering was half open, and across the hall, directly opposite, was a corresponding room, the interior of which was not lighted. Into this apartment, scarcely breathing, Holton stole, standing inside the jamb and listening with strained ears. Before he could adjust himself to the sense of what was being said, the man who had emerged from the door when Holton was on thesveranda returned into the hall, closed the door and entered the lighted room. He was attired in the uniform of a captain in the navy, and his entrance seemed to quiet somewhat the ardor of the argument. "It is agreed, then gentlemen, that the city cannot long endure a siege T" The voice was deep and authoritative. Hoiton, in an ecstasy of eagerness, craned his head forward. "I for one deny it," was the angry response. "But aside from you, general," was the rejoinder, "we seem unanimous Do we not?" There was a chorus of assent Then Hoilton heard a voice that he recognized; a voice that sent thrills down his spine and caused him to loosen his. revolver In Its holster. "Shatter's army alone would not suffice. But I know that General Miles with reinforcements will soon be here, and I know, also, that while General Shatter would prefer to abandon his present position, he will not do so. I can inform you, too, that the lines of our army will not be attacked by charge on the morrow, and that a long siege will be entered upon. The Americans are in excellent health, and they will starve us to submission/' It was the voice of the waiter of the New Willard. "But Senor Cesnola,M interposed the first speaker, "you have led us to believe that within a week, at least, your Cuban rebels will turn upon the Americans," "They will when I give the word.** Then why not give itf" « "Because the time is not ripe. They would be wiped out of existence. That time must come when the fever has He Qliied Hie l y e to the Crevice. begun its work and the army is beginning to be demoralised. T w o - three—five more days in the trenches on the hillsides under this hot sun, will do oar work for m " . "Gentlemen," went on the first speaker, "my mind Is made up. Tomorrow la the find of July. We shall make no more then. But I wan yon, if on the morning of Jury S the situation it still unchanged the fleet win leave Santiago harbor, Orders from Blanco are getting Imperative. If we survive the attempt and reach Havana we shall be safe; it cannot be taken, I believe, in a year's siege. Here the successful storming of our lines means the end of our navy and the unsuccessful close of this war." "So this is your decision?" inquired another *vo tee. "Those are my orders and they are final." Holton, trembling like a leaf, his mouth hanging open, drank In the words as a drowning man drinks In his last breath of air. He could hardly credit his senses. Here, after a night of aimless stumbling through the blackness and through the rain, he had chanced upon the very place of all places where information most valuable to his country's success was to be obtained. The voices had fallen to a hum and, strain his ears as he would, he could catch no more than fragmentary sentences. Some one went out at the door, and presently the sound of horses' hoofs was heard on the shell driveway. Three men departed, and then Holton heard the scraping of chairs and the rattle of glasses, as though those that remained were preparing to spend some further time In their present quarters. Holton having put on his shoes, was on the point of stealing into the hall and out by the door when he decided that this, exposing him as it would to detection, was not the wise course. So he turned back into the room, purposing to open a window. As his hand touched the catch he was startled by a sudden blase of light and a voice. "Well, sir, what are you doing herer He turned to confront the young woman he loved. CHAPTER XI. A Close Call. Holton's first Instinct was to utter the girl's name; but flashing second thought came to his rescue, and he broke into a volley of Spanish ejaculations. As he went on she stood regarding him fixedly, and finally, seeing a peculiar expression settle upon her wonderful face, he paused. "Mr. Holton 1" Her voice was low, almost guttural. Holton sprang toward her. "Miss La Tossa—Ranee!" His voice, too, was low, quivering with emotion. She stepped back, and, pointing her finger at him, repeated with blaring eyes her first question. "What are you doing here?" Then she stopped and looked at him. "Do you realize what you have doner She reached up hastily and extinguished the lamp she had lighted. "Mr. Holton," she continued, as the young officer stood silently regarding her, "have you truly no desire to liver* "I was captured in the battle," re- ^ ^ llBtefl. M 1 « La Tossa, I have plied Holton. "I escaped and—and—" "How—why did you come in here?" "Because a soldier on the road—I mean, a farmer—a planter—told me this was your home." "And you wish me to hide your* "No, I wish to leave," "But you cannot" "1 came in here; lam able to leave." *No, yon are not," she whispered. "General Torsi's and Admiral Cervera'e escort are outside now." She peered oat of the window. "I can see them." Holton looked for himself, and saw the front of the house lined with mounted men. He faced her irresolutely. . "But I mast get away at once," he remonstrated. 1 cannot stay here." Then why did yon come here? How did yon get in?" "I wanted to see yon," replied Holton. "The door was open, and I walked in." She looked at him a moment doubtfully. Then she shook her head. "That was not why yon came here. Ton did not come here to nee me," "But, nevertheless, 1 wanted to see of • Heavy tapestry by Che door, then looked out into the hall. "Yes, father. Here L am." "Oh, yes! I wish you would ash Maria to prepare a guest-room for Senor Cesnola. He decides to remain the night with us." "Yes, father," and with a warning "S-sh!" Miss La Tossa went out into the hall and disappeared. The two men stood near the door, chatting, "My daughter," complained La Tossa, "is still very restive. She escaped from us the day before the battle on horseback, and was gone the entire day." "It Is just as well," was the laughing reply. "8he will do no harm now, for, while your daughter counts on the mine exploding after they have vanquished us, I can assure you that the fuse wi|l be lighted a great while before that rather visionary event" ?You told me that young naval officer who was with Garcia had been, executed," went on La Tossa. "I am rather sorry for that. He was a likable young man apparently." "You need spare your grief," was the rejoinder. "When I so informed you I believed my orders had been carried out But,, as it appears, he escaped." "Your orders!" ejaculated La Tossa. "And when have you assumed the prerogatives of life and death?" "Spies must assume Buch prerogatives occasionally," was the quiet reply. "This young man Holton was in a position to undo my work. He was in my way. As a consequence, I forged Muller's name to a warrant for his execution. That fact may wound your sensibilities; but this is war, not child's play." Holton's eyes fairly glared through the darkness, and yet, despite his anger, he was pleased to know that the murderous order was the work of a 'Well, Sir, What Are Hsrer You Doing renegade and that it had not the sanction of authority. "Well, I must say I am glad he was not executed," remarked La Tossa. "My daughter"—his voice sank low— "is, I believe, very fond of him." "And you approve?" "Oh, it has not gone so far as that! But I do knew that in some way her little secret amour has exerted upon her a repressing Influence, has caused her to mope and to brood—in other words, to curb activities which formerly caused me much worry." Miss La Tossa appeared at the moment and the two men rejoined their comrades in the opposite room. "Are you herer she whispered. "Yes." Holton stepped before her. She went on as though he had not spoken. "It la quite clear new." She was about to conttnae, when steps were heard in the haH and a voice called her name: "Ranee! Ranee, my otasctter?" She panned Hptton into the folds something I wish to tell yon. When** met you before I was unable to reassure your fears as to your country. Now I am. I have spent seven days among the leaders of our army, and I know their Intentions. I wish to assure you as a man of honor that as soon as Santiago is taken, as soon as the city and the province "are utterly rid of the Spaniards, and as soon as order is restored here, our troops are going to withdraw." - "Is this truer she whispered tensely. "It is true, and more. I heard Admiral Sampson and several high army officers assure General Garcia that as soon as practicable the Americans would withdraw, leaving him, General Garcia, as governor of the province. Now, there is no doubt of this at all I have heard It with my own ears—" He paused and held out his hand. "Are we friends r he added. She met his hand impulsively. "Yes, a thousand times, and God bless you Americans!" * Holton drew her fingers to his lips and Kissed them. As he bent thus a figure darkened the doorway and a sneering voice broke the silence. "A very charming picture, mdeed!" Holton swung' around quickly, and before him, his face writhing with a saturnine grin, stood Cesnola. Hplton's hand flew to his revolver, but the t face and a significant flash of steel on a line with the man's waist gave hint passe. (TO ma coimimvui Titles snd TKIee. "Has he a title?"

If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sul- ^ te of aluminum, you have found an alum ing ponder. There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders.

These include such things as eggs, cakes, flowers, presents and the Easter hare, to say nothing of other items obsolete in our times. Individual notlngs of one or another of the cere,- monies or observances have there been, hut it is by no means easy to lay one's hand on any assembling of them. They represent very ancient customs of devotion or superstition, which like the disaster of spilling salt or of sitting thirteen at table are persisting relics of a time when the world was filled with signs and omens. Authorities agree that the remote ancestor of Easter was a ceremony of pagan worship. Distant as are the origins of the old religious forms and intertwined as are the threads, connecting them with the present, it is not now easy to disentangle them, so that it may be said that Easter observances among the people include remnants of the ancient worship of the sun, the moon and fire and water. The keynote of the festival has been from the very beginning resurrection, the re-awakening of the vernal world. The name is that of a goddess of spring, and certain of the emblems have had a co-relation that is remarkable, and through thirty centuries they have come down to us together, preserving the early significance of resurrection, although the faith that originated the ideas had ages ago been forgotten. The idea of Easter sprang truly from a tomb; that tomb was, however, the tomb of winter. The strong-angel that rolled away the stone from the door of the Bepulcher was the April sun. Although Lent has the claim of Christian origin, there are antiquarians who assert that it is of far more ancient origin. It arose, as nearly as has yet been determined, in the fasting that was customary among the , Babylonians, whose worship formed the starting point of Easter. The fast was one of sympathy with the goddess of reproduction, who mourned her consort, and the period was marked by fasting and an abstinence from mirth and social festivals. Fasting has been a widespread custom, Humboldt noting fasts in Mexico, where, curiously enough, the invading Spaniards found the natives practicing baptism, witb an invocation to Cioacooatl that "the sin which was given before the beginning of the world might not visit the child, but that cleansed by these waters it might live and be born anew." Easter was at first a continuation of the Jewish Passover and came on the fourteenth of the month Nisan. When the revulsion of feeling in the church against the Jews occurred it was changed and deliberately fixed so that it could by no possibility fall on the same day as the Passover. This matter was settled in A. D. 325. Easter was set for the first Sunday following the full moon that comes after March 21. This relation to the vernal equinox brought it to the time of the pagan festival of the goddess of spring, dating back to the Astarte worship of Babylonia. The name, Easter, is comparatively modern, but the principle of the "story and the emblems and observances are of this ancient date. "EaBter fires continue even now in northern Europe," wrote Grimm a generation ago. On the Weser a tar barrel was tied to a fire tree and lighted In the evening and the men and the maidens sang and danced about i t ' There was a fire on every hilltop. There were processions to these fires and hymn singing and the bearing of white rods were features. The people liked to carry the fire home with them; it was a sacred fire and embodied elements of the old fire worship. It was produced by friction, a natural method, and to kindle it two boys were selected who knew nothing of the vanities of the world. Within a quarter of a century k in Hildesheim the Easter fire b f l i f been struck with the steeL Here Aft) •people take the fire home to rekJneUt their extinguished hearths. The' otC sacred fires were lighted by natural4 means, some of them by concentration of the sun's rays through mirrors. y ' There U something better than stepping to count ten when you are angry; ooont a hundred. \ X t .

I will recommend your medicine to my friends and give you permission to publish my testimonial." —Mrs. LAWRENCE MAETIN, 12 King S t , Wostbrook, Maine.

Aunt Llndy had brought around her three grandchildren for her mistress to see. The three, little darkies, in calico smocks, stood squirming in line while LJndy proudly surveyed them. "What are their names, Lindy?" her mistress asked. "Dey's name' after flowers, ma'am. Ah name,'era. De bigges' one's name' Gladlola. be nei' one, she name' Heliotrope." "Those are very pretty," her mistress said. "What is the little one named?" "She name' Artuhflclal, ma'am." Bolstering Bad Bills. "How does Hamlet Fatt manage to keep in vaudeville?"

The secretary of state has issued instructions to arrest drivers of motor vehicles no,t carrying 1914 license plates. Local officers are preparing to enforce this law cm and after April 1, 1914. This law applies to the drivers of both new and old cars. Auto owners in this part of the state are rejoicing over the, fact that the new "Auto tax law" has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Thi3 means that they will be required to pay but $3.00 for a liceuse instead of fifty cents per horse power. A good many of the drivers here have been waiting for this very thing to happen. The Secretary of State will have to return about $190,000 to some 20,000 owners who have already paid their license. The county convention of the Modern Woodmen of America was held in.

How wonderfully tight the spring wander-lust for the countryside grips onel Spring fever, with all of its healtbfulnese, is the harbinger of fresh hopes and a buoyancy of Bpirit I noticed a passenger on a Detroit- Chicago train the other day who had started out on his trip with the evident intention of becoming deeply taken with one of the best sellers, that he might shorten the trip between the two cities. You have done the same thing yourself. But his book had been cast aside. He had read only a few pages. His interest in it had lagged. From the car windows he was counting the fields now bared of snow. The ditches were carrying away the water and the still less sluggish creeks were now streams bearing the overflow to the rivers. The farmer, in his shirt sleeves, was repairing the fences after the winter drifts; the cattle showing proof of a winter's stabling and how heading here and there toward the meadows, seeking the new-green _patcbes of grase; the farm help, ID field" and stubble, was putting—into repair this and that necessary feature, here looking after his plow and there his harrow, and on all sides were scenes which reminded the traveler that spring was here, at last! Ae the train sped onward and glimpses of the painter as he worked on the weather-beaten buildings were revealed, the interest of the tourist was aroused and, when I asked him the reason, he answered: "Spring is here and I feel its blood flowing!" The truth was, that like many others, he was planning the work he was to do the coming summer. He was going out to the farm—his farm In Western Canada. He had his wells to dig, his horses to get into shape, his grain implements to fix up, his seed grain to prepare, and other details for the land that was ready to receive it. Hie was what might be termed an "unrest"—to get to the farm! Thousands In Western Canada today are making the preparations that this interested man contemplated. Their summer fallows are ready for the wheat, their spring plowing is being attended to, fences are being rebuilt or being put into repair; indeed, the entire country is one great hive of industry. Railroads are in readiness to take care of a great rush of settlers, those charged with the reception of whom are prepared to extend every courtesy and thus meet the rush with judgment and without the least friction. Thus, the enjoyment of the opening of spring is fully met. At many of the stations throughout many of the middle western states, trains of settlers' effects are in readiness to move to Western Canada. Not only in these states are scenes of this kind to be witnessed, but, also, on either coast and throughout the eastern states there is the same activity among those going to Western Canada this spring. The crops have been heavy and all reports are that the winter was enjoyable; also, that the prospects for a satisfactory year were never better. There is plenty of land yet to be had by homsteadlng or otherwise. Adapted, as Western Canada is, to small grain farming, it is especially adapted to cattle raising and many of the farmers are placing small and large herds, aa their individual means will permit The illustrated literature sent out by the Canadian government agents tells the truth clearly and the inquirer should send for & copy and if you be one of those who has an ambitious Interest, you may be the gainer by a perusal of such information— straight, cold facts in themselves^- Advertisement. FRANCESCO VILLA TAKES TORREON REBEL GENERAL IS SUCCESSFUL AFTER LONG AND BLOODY FIGHT. CLIMAX OF FIRST CAMPAIGN Victors Will Now March On Toward Mexico City In Attempt, to Overthrow Victorian? Huerta. Catering to All. A Boston merchant tells of an old grocer in Massachusetts who was about as "slick" an article as one would care to meet "One day," says the Bostonlan, "I stopped before his shop and looked curiously at a long line of barrels of apples, some marked with an '•,' tome marked with a 'Z.' "'What Is the meaning of these markings?' I asked. 'The barrels seem to contain the same kind, of apples/ "'They are the same kind, son,' the old gentleman replied, 'but some customers want a barrel opened at the top and some at the bottom/ " A Leading Question. *Re-»i could tango forever. Sbe-^How long could yo* bring up #oa! and sift aaaaof Torreon, Mexico—Torreon, strewn with the dead and wounded of a sixday battle, was occupied by the rebels Thursday night on the heels of the fleeing federals. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The taking of Torreon, marks the climax of the first campaign of the revolution to oust Victorian© Huerta from Mexico City. It gives the Constitutionalists virtual control over the whole northern tier of Mexican states. Already the rebel nf>vement toward Monterey and Saltillo has begun. The next great battle between the forces of Carranza and Huerta will be fought in these two places. The-flghting began last Friday, and was almost continuous. At first, Villa attempted assaults on the strong Federal positions in daylight, but these proved costly, so the days were spent in cannonading and the night in assaults. Positions were taken and lost time and again. Several night attacks sent the Federals scurrying from strong positions, but at daybreak the captors would be the strength and accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire, much of which lsvsald to have been directed by French and German gunners. Losses have not been compiled, but Gen. Villa estimated his own losses at 660 killed and 1,500 wounded, and the Federal loss at 1,000 killed and 2,500 wounded, with an unknown number of prisoners. Veteran Teaoher ts Re-employed. Marshall, Mich.—Miss Gertrude B. Smith ha* been elected teacher of mathematics in the local high school for thsr^forty-sixth consecutive year.

REFERENDUM ON APRIL HTH Leaders Point Out That Non-Union Operators Would Like to See Strike in the Union Fields. Indianapolis, Ind.—Ratification of the action of the scale committee of the United Mine Workers of America at Chicago means "industrial peace; if rejected, a strike," according to a circular sent out from the international headquarters of the organization here and made public Friday. The circular calls for a referendum vote April 14 upon the decision of the miners' representatives at the conference to withdraw wage demands and recommending that such questions of working conditions which the miners feel are in need of adjustment should be taken up with the operators locally, the miners meantime to remain at work. Among the reasons given for ratification of this-plan are that "coal markets, together with industrial .and economic conditions, do not justify a strike at this time, if such can honorably be avoided." The circular further declares that non-union operators are anxious to see a strike in "the organized field," and charges that representatives of the former were at the Chicago conference and at the previous one in Philadelphia, "doing all in their power to bring about a disagreement and a strike." "We are unwilling to play into their hands," it continues, "by going on a strike, throwing the mines idle and thus allowing them to fill the markets with non-union coal."

There is a New York woman who goes twice a year to Chicago with her husband, when the latter makeB periodical business trips. They always stay at the same hotel—a large though quiet house, which gets a good deal of Chicago and Illinois trade. The New Yorkers have come to be known to the woman housekeeper of the hotel. They have just returned from their latest journey to the city by Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs. New Yorker says: "I always used to think that the humorous paragraphs In the papers dealing with the frequency 6i Chicago divorces were jokes, but I know now they have a solid basis of fact The reason? Because when we were in Chicago this time the housekeeper of the hotel said to me: 'I'm so glad to se you back again, ma'am. And you know—if you'll excuse me saying it—you're the only lady that comes back here year after year with the same husband.'

On the contrary, I must ask you to slip that revolver from your friend's belt" He (stopped, as though struck with a thought "But you need not mind.

"Out of the way," repeated the Spaniard, with a sort of hissing of the breath. "Out of the way, or, by God! I'll shoot through you." There was the crash of an opening door. "What's thiB—this noise and shoutr ing?" came a deep voice. Holton, watching his enemy like a hawk, saw the revolver-barrel deflected from him, the man's head turned in the direction whence the voice had come. Springing backward and sidewise like a deer, Holton shot across the room. There was a loud report—a bullet singed his hair. The next instant he had leaped through the window, glass and all, and was on the porch. Prom here, as two bullets sped after him, he leaped down upon the back of a horse that war-toeing held "by a soldierr Striking the animal with the butt of his revolver, he went careering off /through the darkness like a rocket Prom the men on the drive, from men on the porch, came a rain of bullets; and Holton, who had learned a trick or two in the way of horsemanship, slipped down along the animal's body, shielding himself almost completely. But the horse was exposed, and a whining bullet pierced the steed to the heart. He suddenly plunged forward, throwing Holton to the ground, then rolled over and was still. Holton landed on his knees, and, although jarred, was not stunned. He scrambled along desperately, regaining his feet, and struck out for the woods, about a^hundred feet away. He toiled oh for two hours, distancing all sounds of pursuit and then flung himself on the wet ground like a tired animal and fell at once into a iQeep sleep. When he awoke the sun was shining through the trees. But it was not this that had roused him. It was the roaring of field ordnance and the racketing of small arms. Evidently they were at it again. His one thought was that this was the 2nd of July, and that on the morrow the Spanish warships meant to dash out of the harbor and attempt an escape. His fleet must be warned. That was what he was there for, and this, from now on, must be the single aim of his life, the one thought in his mind, the supreme struggle of his body. By constant concentration upon the object of his mission, he brought his mental condition into a sort of hysteria. The heat, too, had got Into his brain. As he stumbled over a log he would Bob or. curse, and once, when he tripped and was thrown flat, he lay for a second, weeping like a child. So he went on until once, upon climbing a jtree to ascertain his position, he looked down upon the upper waters of the harbor. He was on the hills to the right, and another hour's Journey would bring him within signal of his fleet He struggled feebly, and then lay back with the realisation that great at was the exigency, he was not able to meet it A sort of stupor, partly hunger, partly fatigue, stole over him, and he closed hit eye*. It was night when he opened them again, starlit night At first he could not recall where he war Then he remembered, and with a start remembered why he was there. He tat up and with difficulty got on hit feet Then he walked. He did not know he was walking; he had no conscioutneea of moving, and no sense of direction; but hit subconscious powers were leading him right A breath of pure salt air blew on hit face. He turned toward a line of brush and parted it, and there, below him, lay the Spanish fleet, their lights, reflected in'the velvet water*, twinkling and winking. He heard the chug-chug of a steam launch, and several timet the murmur of a voice rote to hit ears. Farther down. In the moonlight, he could tee the marts and funnel of Hobson's Marrlxnac. 8hlps* bells struck at ha looked,^ and the sound floated sweetly to the hilltops. Ha turned hit face seaward and walked along, partially revivified by hit reat At length a sense of openneat came upon him, the sensatkm of a vast void in front of him. Ha panted, and than stole noiselessly onward, until at latt patting through a growth of manlgvt, the wide expanse of the Caribbean lay before him. Hare ha flung himself, on the ground waited tor morning. Hit limbs pain. His eyea burned with fever, bis head throbbed. And yet all these things he regarded lightly, for the Caribbean was in front of him, and the American fleet would receive his warning as soon as God brought the dawn. CHAPTER XII: Destroying a Fleet. It was well past dawn when Holton awoke. He was In a panic of fear that he had permitted valuable time to elapse. He rose to his feet stiffly and broke through the bushes until the blue Bea lay beneath him. Hla eyes were strained to the left, where the stern of the flagship was swinging toward him. He noticed black smoke belching from the funnels. Evidently the New York was leaving her station when the ships of the enemy were preparing to come out of the harbor where they had been bottled up for so long. Cold sweat stood out upon Holton*B forehead, and, hastily throwing aside his coat and tearing off his shirt, he took from beneath it a white signal flag, which he had carried around his body for days against just this emergency. Breaking off a branch and knotting the corners of the flag to it, he sprang tensely into position. The flagship was leaving beyond peradventure. Her stern was still toward him, and it was growing smaller. The admiral going away, of all times! In desperation he raced along the hill, trying to catch an angle where his signaling would be seen. Pinally, seeing the futility of further running, Holton stopped, and began swinging the flag right left, right left, with frantic energy. For five, ten minutes he repeated the T. E, call, but without eliciting the slightest response, and so, ceasing his exertions he watched the New York move away with tears springing from his eyes. The Brooklyn had swung broadside to him, and the picturesque ram bow and the tall funnels were as cleanly cut against the sea at a cameo. Admiral Schley, he knew, was on board her, and must of necessity be the commander- in-chief pending Sampson's return. So it was to this rakish craft that he now turned his attention. Walking to a point as nearly abreast of her as he could get, he began snapping the flag right and left in the effort to attract her attention. If he could only get her now, and could deliver his message, there was no doubt that the New York could be recalled by a signal gun. So Blmple did this seem that he wondered why he had not thought of it before. He swung his flag with fresh ardor, but It was at though he were signaling to Mart, so far as any answer was concerned. Holton could see a launch leaving the Indiana for the Massachusetts, Everything was peaceful. From the city drifted the tweet notes of the matin bells and through the trees he could catch glimpses of the red roots and the blues and greens and browns of the houtet of Santiago. Holton redoubled hit efforts with the flag. It teamed at If he had moved hit arms to and fro for an hour without response. He had to rest He lowered the flag and was leaning on the staff when suddenly from tike bridge of the Brooklyn ha taw a flutter of banting. At he looked be read that vetweTs call letter. No doubt now they had teen hit signal and were making h> Quiriet. Quickly raking hit nag~ over hit head he .repeated bla B. B. call and then, at he caught the answering flashes of white from taw Brooklyn, he began hit message*. And this la how It read: "Meetage to admiral from Teeufsn ant Holton." "All right Ready." "Cervera* fleet win teas* the har- 'bor this morning." There was a pauea. Holton waved hit flag frantically. "Did you gat I t r There was atOl no answer. Finally it came. "Repeat" Holton scowled, "Carrara's fleet will leave the bar* bor this morning." There was another pause. "Who are yonf* "Lieutenant Holton, Unfted States navy." - After a abort wait the flag an Brooklyn flatbed again. "The admiral sends his complimentt —and his thanks." There followed several up and down movements of the flag, Indicating that Admiral Schley had received all he wanted to know and that his mind waa already turning to more important matters of the hour. As Holton threw his flag aside and turned shoreward he saw two tall columns of black smoke arising from the direction of the harbor. They were coming! He dashed for his flag, but even as he did so he saw the flash of a tier of guns from Morro and Socapa, and then suddenly, as he glanced down toward the mouth of the bay, he saw a leaden-colored cruiser, with yellow and red flag of Spain snapping defiantly from her jack-staff, appear from behind- ttte hills, and theny as a pantherdashes from a cave in the mouth of which hunters have kindled a fire, she turned to the right and dashed Into the open sea. It seemed an age, but it was not more than a few Beconds, when a terrific roar shook the waters, and a burst of flame and gases rolled from a turret of ova of the American ships. Holton marked the course of the great thirteen-inch shell, saw the great, dark shape dart with lightning speed toward the Vizcaya, saw it hurtle over the deck, ricochet on the water, and explode in the woods beyond. Then the earth shook with fearful noise. From all the American ships, and from those of the Spaniards, great guns vomited forth their messengers of death and destruction. The sky grew dark, and a yellowish pall settled upon the sea. „ As Holton stood tense, following the combat as in a trance, he heard a tremendous explosion, and saw the Marie Theresa list sharply, and then saw her turn in toward the land, where she soon grounded. He could see men clinging to her decks. It was clear that the American vessels were overhauling the enemy's ships, although Holton had understood that, as regards speed, our vessels were inferior. The discharge of guns was incessant. Almost directly beneath him he saw two Spanish destroyers disengage themselves from the larger vessels and swing about, evidently with the intention of returning to the harbor; but like a hawk, a Good An Round aids to good health—and to the strength, comfort and cheerfulness which depend on thecondi^ tion of health—are the famous, time-tested, safe and speedy BEECHAM'S PILLS 8old • • o r r w h e r e . la boss*, 1 0 » * 200» SPECIAL TO WOMEN The most economical, cleansing and germicidal of all antiseptics Is A soluble Antiseptic Powder to be dissolved in water as needed.

The Bishop of London has a great store of anecdotes connected with his work in the East end of Loudon. One of them relates to an examination that was being held in a school. The examiner had asked one child: "What are the chief products of our Indian empire?" And the unhappy infant nervously proceeded to reel off the list she had got up by heart.

The que&tion has been asked more than once since the ship sank two years ago. Nearly every time the subject has been broached some one has come forward with an array of figures that apparently placed the project in the realm of e impossible. Of late the idea has n revived, and now comes an entgineer with a scheme that can boast Ian element of the probable, |,rovld«d Ithe circumstances are quite aa invariable as he Imagined them to be. Paradoxically, the man that offers e present solution has his home pretnearly aa far away from the sea as It Is possible to get here in the United IStates. Charles A. Smith, the author of the plan, lives in Denver, says the [New York Sun. Briefly it Is his purpose to make use of a great many powerful electric lifting magnets, which when energized will cling to [the Bteel body of the Titanic like so (many monster leeches. When these magnets are firmly attached to the skin of the ship lines leading surfaceward will be secured to buoyant caissons, or camels, of steel built especially for the purpose, and then the inventor counts upon the cumulative lifting force of all these cylindrical tanks to raise the Titanic clear of the bottom so that the wreck and the floating camels can be towed to shallower water. Each time the Titanic Is halted by fine rising sea bed the connecting lines twill be shortened, the vessel raised a few feet, and with this clearance she will be towed nearer land. Thus step by step the foundered ship is to be raised and moved shoreward until the next to the last stage of the operations finds her in water of such moderate depth that the ordinary diver can be employed. This would Involve bringing the Titanic from her present supposed restling place, two miles down below the urface of the sea, and transporting er to some point near the Nova Scon coast, where a temporary resting lace could be found at a depth of not ore than 100 feet. But great physical obstacles lie in Ithe path of Mr. Smith's project. To bejgln with, it would take an Immense amount of hunting to locate the wreck. [Wrecks have a way of shifting even iafter they reach the ocean bed, and (this is one of the puzzling aspects of la submarine problem of this sort Take your atlas and trace the course of the Gulf Stream as it branches just about where the White 8tar liner collided with that deathdealing iceberg. You will find that this current of warm water sweeps at that point off to the southeast, and somewhere below the Gulf Stream the great volume of the Labrador Current flows to the south and west, bringing [with it an unceasing burden of sand. Sn this fashion both of these ocean rivers have carried sand* to the point [where they meet in conflict south of (Newfoundland, and thus out of this [battle has grown that steadily rising submarine mountain or plateau called jthe Grand Bank. It is possible that the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current have in the past two years substantially buried the wreck of the Tljtanic. If such be the case, the hulk may never be located. j Again, it is not certain that the Titanic lies on a sandy bottom. There U a reasonable probability that the ocean bed at that point may be rocky. This brings us to the question of her probable condition as a likely subject lor salvage, assuming that it be humanly possible to get down to her and jto attach lines or cables for her lifting. amr ort&M^vai&*x&2ri&& WZ2&A /Z&7 a^suerz^rjc/rttop^ at acnzzs square inch. If you multiply the 7,000,- 000 square inches by this pressure and divide by 2,240 — representing the pounds of a long ton—you will find that the superposed sea has laid its hand upon the body of the Titanic with weight of more than 14,000,000 tons. When afloat and fully laden the great liner represented a dead weight of 65,000 tons. If she be held in the grip of the ocean bed, with the sea further aiding that hold, the a salver would have to exert a lifting force of more than 215 times her service tonnage in order to free her from the bottom. In other words, Mr. Smith would have to provide salvage caissons or camels with an amassed buoyancy equivalent to an assembled fleet of floating Titanics more than 215 strong! From a financial and engineering point of view an undertaking of this sort would not be alluring. But it may be that the wreck of the ahip is not in this unpromising predicament How is the Denver inventor to satisfy himself upon this point? Mr. Smith "has planned as an auxiliary a type of submarine boat which Is to be strong enough to withstand the deepest submergence required for the reaching of the Titanic wreck. In this direction the inventor Is practically elaborating on the work of the noted Italian submarine engineer, Slgnor Pino. The latter designed a type of globular submarine, which, because of its particular form and the nature of its fabrication, would stand up under the crushing stresses of very deep submergence. In fact the boat—if such it could strictly be called—was so arranged that increasing pressure actually served to make the craft more watertight. According to Mr. Smith's plan, these submarine auxiliaries will be lowered from big wrecking steamers and will obtain their limited propulsive energy from the electric power plant of the surface craft. Their purpose will be two fold: That of locating and exploring externally the shattered wreck, and to assist in guiding and in pushing the powerful magnets into contact with the steel hull. It would be of the utmost importance to place these mechanical leeches where the Internal structure of the Titanic would be best able to support the lifting strains. Lifting magnets are extensively employed nowadays in big steel plants, and lately have been used also for the recovery or iron and steel scrap which has been lost overboard In harbors. A well Jtoowji English firm has built some of these with a diameter of five feet and with a magnetle grip strong enough to raise a solid mass of iron or Bteel weighing 12 tons. One of the main difficulties in the __: use of magnets is to avoid overheating The question Is, so far as the salver them by reason of the electrical curls concerned, Which of these ways was Ihe one in which the Titanio was finally halted at the bottom of the-Atlantic? If she lies upon a rocky bed* then, If Mr. Smith can secure his magnets to her and command sufficient lifting force, the chance of her ultimate recovery brightens considerably. On the other hand, if the ship has forced a goodly part of her body into jthe sea bed the situation is entirely .changed. There Is no reasonable hope cf dislodging her from that anchorage. * The Titanic, like her sister ship, the • Olympic measured upon her longest deck, 882 feet and her beam was »2 -feet A rectangle of these dimensions would have a total area of 81444 square feet .. Of course, a plan view of the Titanlo's body was ship shaped Slid not rectangular, and let us sup- Pthat a goodly pert of it la burled first in the sand, and that only $0 cent rises above the bottom. In case approximately 7,000,000 inches would be wpmsd to the thraet of the orertying two of tea water. At a depth of 10,100 feet there to a fcjgfoitatW pf seems tending to crash jg#;t» heU amounting to a force of jftjM l«u&4» to- every v- :.^--^-.- . sea would cut down the load to be lifted to approximately 39,000 tons, which would call for 3,250 electro magnets, representing a dead weight in themselves of fully 10,000 tons. That is to say, that the special pontoons, or camels, must be equal to providing a total buoyancy of a good deal more than 49,000 tons, because the magnets must be suspended by chains or wire ropes, and here again is an additional load. If you are fond of figures you can while away your time calculating the number and the size of the caissons which Mr. Smith would have to use under the most favorable circumstancee, and when that conclusion has been reached you will find some difficulty in getting anchorage space for the necessary fleet in New York harbor. If you are at all familiar with the practical difficulties of towing you will realize what it would mean to convoy these squadrons to the site of the wreck, and when you have got them there and have crowded them over the Titanic's hulk, imagine what would happen if a storm arose! It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Smith has many difficulties to overcome. Even If it were possible to recover the whole or any part of the hulk it Is hard to conceive bow the sajvers would have anything but an irreparably damaged mass. Remember that if any air pockets or chambers filled with air survived for a while during the vessel's sinking, they ultimately were burst In by the increasing hydrostatic pressure as the craft plunged deeper and deeper to her grave. Probably this happened in a large number of directions, and thus successively the ship's steel honeycomb was ruptured if not flattened into a veritable pancake. Of course, Mr. Smith may have an answer for every point raised; but even so the salvage of the Titanic would in no wise pay for the labor and the enormous expense involved. True, an achievement of this sort would be of the utmost engineering significance, inasmuch as it would herald the feasibility of dealing with treasure ships and other profitable wrecks that lie in shallower water. If Mr. Smith can do this latter work he will do something well worth while. DESTITUTE IN NEW YORK CITY rent turned into them. This element of temperature has hitherto placed limits upon their attractive powers, and especially upon prolonged continuous service, something that would be absolutely needful In dealing with such a project as the lifting of the Titanic and holding her during the towing into shallower water. However, news has come from Paris of late announcing an Important discovery in this matter of Increasing the strength of magnets without adding materially to their size. Unquestionably the temperature of the sea water where the Titanic now lies is very close to the freezing point, and it may he that the Denver engineer counts upon this condition to promote the efficiency of his magnets when first gripping the wreck and starting It surfaceward. Aa the matter stands, however, the present state of the art caHe for a magnet weighing /about sixty-eight hundredweight to h^elwreeaof l i t e m . tttheTHanio There Has Been a Big Increase During Recent Months In Demands for Charity. There is more poverty and destitution in New York now than in the last 40 years, according to reports received by the Charity Organization society, says the New York World. Never before in its history has the society been called upon to help so many families. A few days ago it had 2,781 families in its care, an increase of 548 over the same season last year. During February, 1914, it helped 3,313 families, an Increase of 642 over February, 1912. "Each month since last October," •aid W.

Hlgh-Prlced Cuts, He Asserts, Are Not Necessarily the Best—More Nour* ithment In Many of the Cheaper Grades—About Chops. In the Woman's Home Companion a retail butcher writes an article entitled "Reducing the Meat Bill." in which he shows how people who buy the high-priced cuts don't get the beBt meat He says that some of the cheapest meats are the best. He takes an itemized weekly meat bill of $4.62 and shows, item by item, how that bill can be reduced to $3.21, just by using cheaper cuts, which he says are better cuts. After dealing with the various kinds of steaks—in which, by the way, he tells about the steak that the butcher eats himself—he goes on as follows about roasts and chops: "A roast of beef coBtlng 91 or $1.50 at the present time is not much; a hungry and healthy family will probably finish it in one meal. You can still enjoy good roast beef, and surely for less money, only buy the right cut From past observation the writer has found that nine out of ten customers ask for the first cut of the rib roast. Of course, they are the most expensive cuts. The fifth, sixth and shoulder ribs are hardly in demand, and the butcher has a hard job selling them. These end ribs or shoulder ribs of roast beef are not only considerably cheaper to buy, but are richer in nourishment and food value. When buying one of^ the three or four ribs of beef, say, for instance, weighing five pounds, you will find that you hardly have sufficient meat left after it is carefully trimmed and the bone taken out. The difference in price between the first cut on the rib and the last two cuts is at least six cents a pound, and when you ask for a shoulder rib roast ask the butcher to insert a piece of suet in the center of the roast, or, If he has time, to lard it with thin pieces of fat Another good piece of meat for roast beef Is the top sirloin, which Is not so cheap, but it is recommended because it has no waste. "The next important item on the meat bill is chops—either lamb, pork or veal chops. Lamb chops, however, are the kind mostly demanded, and. of course, the demand is for loin and rib chops, the most expensive. There is the same solution as with steaks—buy shoulder chops; they cost less and are sweeter. This same principle applied again to pork chops. The shoulder chops are very sweet and tender, and the butcher will sell them for less, but very few people know about them." To Make Okra Soup. Okra soup, or gumbo soup, can be made in a good many ways. For one kind make a rich stock from beef and veal bones strain and skim. Add to a quart of the stock a pint of okra cut In small pieces "and stewed with a pint of tomatoes and a pint of water until tender. Put in three or four teaspoonfuls of rice and simmer until it is tender. Then serve very hot This soup, of course, does not equal chicken gumbo soup, which is one of the most delicious soups made, but which ^takes four or five hours In the making and calls for chicken, beef, okra, potato, onion, rice, tomato, green pepper, bacon and several other ingredients. Linoleum Polish. Odds and ends of candles will make an inexpensive polish for linoleum. Use about equal parts of candle scraps and common turpentine. Place In a jar and stand where It is warm, until the grease is quite melted, then allow to cool, where it will be soft and creamy. Use with a soft cloth and polish with a second soft cloth. A little of the grease will go a long way. Cream of Com Soup. One can grated corn/ one pint boiling water. Cook gently 20 minutes, then rub through a sieve. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter.

Shepherd checks and plaids are quite as much to be considered as ever, for they, like navy serge, never actually go out of style; but this year they are entirely dependent on cut and graceful hanging from the shoulders for success. All coats, whether for separate wear or accompanying skirtB, are hung from the shoulder blades Instead of the top of the shoulder. It is an important note, since it at once Btamps the design as modern, and, moreover, is much more graceful than the latter. Three-quarter lengths are very much in order and are smart looking. All variations of the Norfolk are.popular.

You will enjoy a wonderful Skin restorative if you bathe the face, neck and arms every night with hot milk and water, which is a wonderful skin restorative, dry gently, with a very soft and fine face towel, and then apply a very little good face cream, with circular and upward massage movement© of the finger tips. Smooth the eyebrows and lashes with a modicum of pure white vaseline. In the morning again bathe the face with hot milk and water, then rinse with cold distilled water to which a few drops of toilet vinegar or lait virginal have been added. Dry thoroughly, always using upward movements, apply a little toilet cream, wiping off any superfluity with a soft handkerchief, dust on some good powder and smooth with a fine waeh leather. This simple treatment has really astonishingly beneficial effects in a very few days if persevered with. Ailing ones must, of course, be very careful to build up the general health; not by "cosseting," but by common sense pre* cautione. A nourishing but digestible diet, including plenty of milk, eggs, fish, poultry and beef once a day, as much fresh air and sunshine as possible, judicious but not strenuous exercise and plenty of rest in between, provide an excellent restorative regime to those below par. A Few Large Hats. Some of the newest hat models are large and flat and very elaborately garnished with flowers, lace and ribbon. Maline is a very important factor in the construction of these models, black and the most delicate tones of pink and amber having the preference. Ostrich plumes of contrasting color are favored by this designer, who also achieves remarkably beautiful results by brightening up her black models by giving them exquisitely tinted tapestry or chiffon crowns. materials are employed for these chains* including wood, glass, etc. One of the foremost types is constructed entirely of extremely small beads, in braided or rope effects.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH TO REMEMBER WHEN IRONING Matters of Consequence If One Would Do Good Work and Preserve the Clothes Handled. First of all the irons must bo immaculately clean and suited to the article to be ironed. Irons come now in all sizes, for all purposes. Heat the irons slowly, but have them very hot before starting, even if they must be cooled later. Try them on a soft clean cloth. The ironing sheet also must be clean. For fine lingerie cover the ordinary ironing sheet with thin material; for embroidery and lace use a Turkish towel, pinned tightly around the board. To stiffen articles slightly without starch rub them on the wrong side with warm water and borax. To clean the irons if starch sticks rub them over fine emery paper, then with a little paraffin wrapped In muslin. If an iron becomes rusty scrub it with hot water and soap, then rub it very lightly with lard. Wipe it carefully with absorbent cotton to remove all traces of the lard. Never allow irons to get red hot, as it takes the temper out. Do not put a hot iron in water to cool it; stand it on one side for a few minutes. It is unwise to put irons directly over the gas flame, as it spoils the iron. In the absence of a special device for holding them use an asbestos mat. When possible colored goods should be ironed on the wrong side, then pressed on the right This brings out the coloring. All-wool underwear ought not to be ironed, as ironing causes it to shrink. HASH MADE WITH SALT FISH Something of a Novelty, and One of the Best of Dishes for a Light Lunch. Cover one-half pound of salt fish withhold water, bring to a boil and drain. Do this three times. Cover again with cold water and boil until very tender. Pare six good sized potatoes and boil until soft. Drain. Add to the fish and chop together, not too fine. While the fish and potatoes are cooking cut two or three slices of fat pork Put in a fry pan, cover the pork with cold water, bring to a scald and drain. Return to the pan and fry until a nice brown, This makes the pork crisp. Take the pork from the pan and put it where it will keep hot. Now put the chopped fish and potatoes into the pork fat and return to the fire. Cook until well .blended with the fat, stirring lightly. When well heated through set back to cook slowly, running a knife around the sides and under the cake, which must be patted out nice and smooth and size of the pan, but do not stir again. When it Is a nice rich brown on the under side fold it over, exactly like an omelet, and serve on a hot platter. Garnish with the fried pork cut in small strips. This is fine and is rich and hearty enough with a vegetable of some kind and a dessert for dinner. Braised Veal. Take a pleca-oi shoulder weighing five pounds. Have bone removed and tie up meat to make it firm. Put piece of butter size of half an egg, together with a few shavings of onion, into a kettle and let get hot. Salt and pepper the veal and put into kettle, cover tightly and put over a medium fire until meal is brown on both sides, turning it occasionally. Then set kettle on back of stove where it will simmer slowly for about two and onehalf hours. Before setting meat on back of stove see if the Juice of the meat, together with the butter, makes gravy enough, and it not, add a little hot water. When gravy Is cold it will be like jelly; Serve gravy hot with hot meat or cold with cold But a girl who is an expert at making angel cake may have a demon disposition.

This will soften the scalp and give life to the almost deadened roots of the hair. If the hair is oily, use a small quantity of borax, ammonia, or salts of tartar in the water you shampoo the hair with.

IMPORTANT BASE BALL POINT Organized Base Ball Is Hard Hit By Ruling of United State* District Court of Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, Mich.—Judge Clarence W. Sessions, in the United States district court, denied the application of the Chicago Federal league club for an injunction enjoining Catcher William Killifer, Jr., from playing with the Philadelphia National league club. The judge denied the application upon the grounds that the Chicago Federal league club did not come into court "with clean hands." Killifer made a contract with the Federal league club on January 8th and on January 20th made another one with the Philadelphia club. Both contracts are in form valid and binding, but the court held that a wilful wrong was done the Philadelphia club owing to the fact that the reserve clause of their 1913 contract with Killifer would have been carried out if the Federals had not tempted him with a much greater salary. The reserve clause is, however, held to be invalid under the law. This is the important point ef the decision as organized base ball has regarded it as a bulwark against the invasion of new leagues. The release clause is that part of a ball player's contract that gives his team an option on his further services at the termination of the contract. On this point the decision reads: "The leading authorities, with possibly one exception, are agreed that executory contracts of this nature can neither be enforced in equity nor form the basis of an action at law to recover damages for their breach. The reasons for the decisions are that such contracts are lacking in the necessary qualities of definlteness, certainty and mutuality. The 1913 contract between these defendants, relative to the reservation of the defendant, Killifer, for the season of 1914, is lacking in all of these essential elements. It is wholly uncertain and indefinite with respect to salary and also with respect to terms and conditions of the proposed employment. It is nothing more than a contract to enter into a contract in the future, if the parties can then agree to contract. Although it is founded on sufficient consideration, it lacks mutuality, because the Philadelphia club may terminate it at any time on 10 days' notice while the other party has no such option and is bound during the entire contract period. A contract exists, but, if broken by either party, the other is remediless, because the courts are helpless either to enforce its performance or to award damages for its breach. Railway Improvements for Manistee. Cadillac^ Mich.—The Manistee East & West railway, formerly the Manistee & Grand Rapids, is planning ex* 'tensive improvements on its line from Manistee to Marion to give direct passenger service between these points. At present a local runs from Manistee to Pightin, 20 miles from Marion, the roadbed making it impossible for the train to proceed nearer the eastern terminal. Thirty-five thousand ties have been purchased for the purpose of improving the roadbed, and these will be placed in May and June. By July 1 Manager Morey promises that a motor or a passenger will be running daily between Marion and Manistee. The road purposes to put about $75,000 in improvements. Township to Own Railroad. Manistique, Mich.—Garden township, Delta county, voted $25,000 bonds for "highway purposes" to keep itself "on the map." The highway will not be the usual road of stone and gravel, but is of ties and steel and la 14 miles Hong. In other words, the proceeds of the bonds will be used to purchase a railroad and Garden will be the only township in Michigan owning a railway. MICHIGAN NEWS IN BRIEF John C.

It Is quite possible to go into many kitchens the first thing in the morning and find an alarming array of dirty pots and pans on which the remains of food cooked the night before has hardened and become encrusted on the inside. This means an enormous amount of really unnecessary work in the morning. Now, though it may not be possible for the cook, after a late dinner with guests attending, to set to work and to clean thoroughly all the utensils used, yet it is possible for her, as each is used, to fill it three parts full of boiling water, putting in with this a small lump of soda. Then after dinner is served all that it necessary is to empty the contents, rinse the pans well to remove all scraps of food left on the sides, dry them and hang tbem in the draft where the air can reach them. Next morning when the girl has more time, she can have some hot water and soda ready in a large dishpan. Then the pans may be dipped into this and rubbed off thoroughly with a cloth soaped and dipped in fine sand; then they should be well rinsed and dried and put back in their places. Should a pan have been allowed to burn and there are still some burnt fragments clinging to it, a little soda water should be boiled up in-it until all the fragments are loosened and then the pot should be scoured.

Pick and wash a half pound of rice and boll it gently in one quart of water till it becomes dry, keeping the pot well covered and not stirring it Then take it off the fire and spread It out to cool on the bottom of an inverted sieve, loosening the grains lightly with a fork, that all the moisture may evaporate. Pare half a dozen pippins or any other large, juicy apples, and take out the cores. Then fill each cavity with marmalade or with lemon and sugar. Cover every apple all over with a thick coating of the boiled rice. Tie up each in a separate cloth and put them into a pot of cold water. They will require about an hour and a quarter before they begin to boll, perhaps longer. Turn them out In a large dish, and be careful in doing so not to break the dumplings. Serve them with cream sauce, or with butter, sugar and nutmeg beaten together. 8WIM Lemon Pie. Even during warm weather this tidbit will be found palatable. Line a pie-dish with short pastry; slice one large lemon or two small ones very thin, removing skins, seeds and every vestige of white outside skin. Spread one-fourth of a pint of sugar over the pastry, then the lemons, evenly spread over sugar, sprinkle with dried currants and the grated rind of the lemon. Cover this with one-fourth pint of sugar, then lay strips of pastry in lattice form over this filling, baking about 15 minutes in moderately hot oven. When cold arrange a border on pie of seasoned cottage cheese moistened with thick, sweet cream. Mutton Roll. Pass one pound of lean cooked mutton and a small quantity of lean bacon through a fine mincer and place in a mixing bowl. Add half a teacupful of fine bread crumbs, a little finely minced onions, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whip one egg until light, mix together with the prepared meat, and roll into an oblong cake on a floured board. Tie this roll in a piece of buttered muslin and stew in thick brown sauoe for an hour.

Many a talented person is kept back because of the interference-of coffee with the nourtohment of the body.

There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee troubles and a Term, lady's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: "Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun.

While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter tn the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lady. She thanks him for his servv oe and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, '"A Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home In Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton ehe is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States-. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent td> investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans in the interests of the Spaniards. Holton la seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. H e learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle at San Suan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on July 8. Holton eeeapes and arrives' in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away.

Two or three faint cheers drifted shoreward, hut for the most part there was silence. Boats manned by American aailorB were about all the Spanish Teasels, which, having left the harbor so proudly and so defiantly but a little while before, were now merely smoking, burning wrecks. "Well, it Was over. What would happen now? The harbor forts were still to be subdued, and it was out of the question that Sampson would attempt to rush them this day. No, Holton could see that the army still had Its part to play, and that, as a consequence, his work was far from completed. His duty was perfectly clear; and while he was able to drag one foot after another, its stern behests were to be obeyed. His place was at Garcia's headquarters—the sooner he took it the better. After a last, lingering look at the scene below he turned inland, but had not gone more than two hundred yards when he realized that his sore feet were not adapted to rapid progress. In short, he felt that, as compared to his normal condition, he was but half a man, and a very miserable and pitiful half at that Still, with frequent halts he made his way toward the American lines, and by dusk he was again among the rifle»plte of the army. A flag of truce was wandering over the hillside, and In answer to Holton's query an officer told him that General Shatter was sending in word to Toral that, now the fleet was destroyed, he had better surrender and have done with further bloodshed. So everyone waited until the truce party returned - vfrom its mission. e't- They had not made, it was learned, great progress with the Spanish oomtwnder. He was quite content with the situation, he said, and, moreover, he had good information that the men from the United States were not doing vary well "in this climate. In a word, he/thought It advisable to oppose to the utmost extremity the advance of the Americans. A reply similar in Its nature had been sent to Admiral Sampson, who, as though in spite, dropped a few shells into the city, and then desisted In order to give Toral time for the thlrteai-lnch messengers to sing home. The destruction of Cervera's fleet was regarded as having simplified the task that lay before the Americans, bat no one knew exactly what the developments would be. The general surmise was that Toral would event nally surrender, and If that was the ease there was disinclination on the part of the brtgaoVoojamandars to ahed nnneoessary blood. In the morning Holton was awakened by a bombardment which oca* tinned for half an hontv The men In the tranches got Into action with their Kraga and .the Spaniards renponded. The result wen a spirited which ended en abreatt* as H ejritalasvmiC of "' - - - the Spanish lines, borne by messengers from Shafter sent to Inquire of Toral if he had not yet changed his mind about holding out. As Holton could see no special reason why the Spaniard should have changed his mind, he was inclined to regard the truce business as a joke, a sentiment which most of the officers shared with him. Toward noon he made his way along the lines, and, eventually, he located the Cuban contingent. Garcia was seated in front of bis tent with General Castillo.. He remembered. Holton and greeted him pleasantly. Yet he appeared to have something on his mind, and after welcoming the navy man he turned to his brother general and continued a conversation which the officer's arrival had evidently interrupted. Holton, not wishing to appear as an intruder, moved to one side. The soldiers were sullen and regarded the new-comer with evident dislike. He tried to engage several of them In conversation, but with no success. To a sergeant, who had turned his shoulder upon him, he said with some impatience: "What's the matter with you, anyway?" "You will find out soon," was the reply. CHAPTER XIII. A Night Rendezvous. Before Holton could make answer, a young Cuban galloped by on horseback. So lithe was he, so cleanlimbed, his uniform so spick and span, his face so handsome, that Holton turned to glance after him. He, too, was turning to gase at Holton, and now brought his horse to a sharp halt. Noting this, the navy man walked toward the fellow, feeling that he had seen him somewhere before but pussled to know where* The young soldier, with head turned over shoulder, nodded to Holton, and then, with a sweep of the hand, beckoned him toward a group of small palms, whither he urged his horse at a slow walk. The naval officer followed and came to a standstill beside the beautiful animal. The boy—he was little more—bent down and looked at Holton a moment Then he smiled and held out his hand. "You have been pointed out to me as Lieutenant Holton," he said. "Are you he?" Holton looked at the other steadily without answering.- A thrill passed over him. "I could almost say," he replied finally, "that you are Miss La Tossa in disguise/? "Yon would be pretty nearly right," was the laughing response; "I am her brother." "Oh!" Holton reached up and seised the lad's hand. "I am very happy to see you. Where Is your sister?" "At home. I stole In to visit her last night She wished me to find you and to ask you to accompany me to a place beyond Seville at once. She will await us on the road and will have something of Importance to say to you. I do not know what It is." "But—" Holton hesitated. '1 have Just come in from Santiago at some peril I have work to do here." The hoy smiled at him. "There will be no peril In returning with me. We Cubans,'1 he grimaced, "have a secret route into the city which has always been kept open. It is open now. You must come with me; my sister has news of great importance you must hear." Holton > needed no great Incentive to accompany the ^ther. He still wore hie Spaniard's uniform, with the addition of an army hat bearing the Insignia of "the Fifth Geres, and he felt himself sartoriaUy well qualified onee more to penetrate the ranks of the enemy/ if that were necessary.

To this officer Holton made his way. "Did you receive any word from the President?" he asked. The naval officer some days previously had requested General Shafter to solicit a message from the President disclaiming any idea of holding and annexing Cuba after the close of hostilities. It was well understood by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why Holton proffered the request Now, in reply to his question, the aide dived into his tent and emerged bearing a cable dispatch sent from Washington via Key West and Guantanamo. It was addressed to General Shafter and read as follows: "The President Btates herewith that hostilities against the Kingdom of Spain were Instituted with the sole purpose of liberating Cuba from Spanish rule. It is our wish that, thus free, she shall take her proud place among the republics of America." "Good!" exclaimed Holton, after reading the message. "Nothing ambiguous about that, is there?" "Not a thing," laughed Miley. "I suppose you want this." "It would be invaluable," responded Holton eagerly. "May I take it?" For reply, the tall, weather-beaten army officer handed Holton the cablegram. At sunset he proceeded to the spot suggested by young La Tossa. and found him already mounted and holding another pony by the bridle. "You are on time," he said. "This is your horse, and I suggest we start at once." For an hour they rode In silence, and finally paused in a copse of woods outside the little settlement called Sevilla. Here the young Cuban dismounted, and Holton did likewise, looking inquiringly at the boy. The latter smiled half mockingly, and Holton, advancing to him, placed his hand upon his arm, while he regarded the youth with curious eyes. "You make me think very much of your sister," he said. "Do I?" The fellow laughed. "You care for my sister, then?" Holton flashed back a quick glance at the boy. "Care for her! Look here, youngster, I care for her so much that if she doesn't look out I'm going to be your brother some day." A laugh broke from La Tossa. "I have heard her say pretty much the same thing," he chuckled. Holton took both his shoulders in a mighty grip. "You have I" he cried. "Quick now, boy, are you Joking?" The other wriggled away and placed his hand ruefully upon his shoulder. "You needn't crush my bones in," he grumbled. "Of course it's true." Holton leaped upon the pony. "Come on. Let's go to her." His tone was as ardent as a cavalier's. "Not now," was the laughing reply. "We must stay here until it is dark." Young La Tossa pointed toward a crumbling building. "Do you notice the peculiar shape of that roof?" he asked. "Well, I have Hottert Took Beth His 8houlders In s Mighty Grasp. an idea you will be in this vicinity later. If you are, remember the shape of that roof. Inside that very building—" He paused. "But my sister will tell you," he added. The darkness grew rapidly denser, untfl at last It was sufficiently black to suit* the wishes of the young Cuban. Mounting their ponies, the two turned in the direction of Santiago, and had Just entered a trail leading through low hushes', covering an immense area, when a man, gun in hand* stepped out in front of them. Holton's revolver leaped from Its holster, but his companion pot out a restraining hand. "Wen, Pierre r he asked sharply. -Miss La Tossa,- responded the man, "is here."

Moodily he saw the girl regarding him with luminous, smiling eyes. "I am so happy to know you escaped," she began. "Yes, thanks to you," was Holton's warm reply. She walked close to htm, then turned to her brother and to the Cuban. "Will you pleaBe leave us for a few minutes?" she commanded. "I muat speak with Mr. Holton alone." Holton said nothing, but waited while the two, thus adjured, moved into the bushes out of earshot. "Mr. Holton," she said then, with a little catch in her voice, "I don't know why I am doing this, but it is because I believe in you and in your country." "You are Justified, I am sure, in believing in both me and my country," replied Holton. "I am sure of it. Tonight, Mr. Holton, at Sevilla, in the building which my brother pointed out to you—he did point it out, as I asked him to, did he not?1' "Yes," nodded Holton, "he pointed it out." "In that building," she continued, "tonight, there is to be a meeting of officers high in the Cuban army, at which an immediate outbreak against the soldiers of the United States will be discussed." Holton started. "Garcia—will he be there?" he asked. "Garcia will not be there, nor Rabi, nor Castillo." Holton laughed. "Then," he declared, "the meeting will not amount to much." "Do not be fooled," was the warm rejoinder. "It will amount to a great deal. You know—or do you?—the condition of your army. Sickness is beginning." "Yes, but a majority are well, and I myself know the straits of the Spanish army, for I have been in Santiago. I myself have Informed General Shafter that Toral can muster at most not more than twelve thousand men, If that" "Yes, yes," she responded, tapping her foot impatiently. "I do not come here to argue, Mr. Holton. I tell you only this: Toral has not surrendered, because he knows of the threatened revolt of the Cubans against your men. He is waiting for that to happen, and will take what advantage may be gained from the result This may be serious. There are six thousand Cubans immediately upon the field. Their attack upon the American flank, coupled with the attack of the Spaniards upon the front, will drive your countrymen to the sea." Holton shook his head. "Why, MIBS La Tossa, this deed is suicide for your country. It can mean but one thing—the wiping out of the Spaniards and the Cubans, and in the end the very colonization you dread. For if this happens I cannot see but the United States will have the best sort of object-lesson to show that the last thing of which you are capable Is self-government." "That is true," she agreed. "I have come to realize it I had been led astray in my views. But now, thanks to you—and to others—I sec more clearly." He looked at her face, dim m the darkness. "And that is why you wished to see me?" "Not altogether," she replied. "Well, you must hurry, because I wish to say something to you, too," he reminded her. The girl moved impatiently toward him. "To night—I wish to ask you what I should do about the meeting. I alone of those not in the conspiracy know of it. What shall I do? Shall I send word to General Garcia? Is It better that you should inform Shafter—" Holton interrupted, "No, no, not Shafter," he cried. "The Americans must take no action that might precipitate any sort of a fight with the Cubans." "Well, Garcia then?" "A fight with the Cuban ranks would be almost as bad." "That is true. What then?" Holton thought a moment Then he looked up. "I will go to the meeting," he announced. "You!

There are few subjects on whfrh sc much "scientific" nonsense is talked "and written as on heredity. Not very znuch is known of It as regards plants, Jess of animals and almost nothing na regards humanity. To read books on heredity, especially those of the Eugenic society, is to read a mass of sup positions and hazardous inductions "where most of the facts are negative and only the exceptions are positive. The very meaning of "hereditary" is not understood. If any quality is truly hereditary then it is always he red! tary. It never occurs except as the remit of heredity, and It is constantthat is to say. it invariably follows But there is no quality of which this can be said. That genius is not hereditary is known. Even talent is not Nor is any aptitude. A. lawyer's son more often wants to be u soldier or an artist than a lawyer, notwithstanding the environment, and it is so with most professions. The exceptions seem t>> be due to training and influence, not t<» hereditary transmission. A superficial likeness to parents seems hereditary, but that is all that we can assert, and that outward 11 Ue Bess by no means infers an inw:\nJ likeness. There is nothing so eas.\ and nothing so fatal as this tendency to attribute to heredity what is due to training or want of training. It ox cuses suplpeness in governments and professions.—H.

I'll bet there's 0,000 more people here than they expected. I guess that means I'll have to go in and prepare about 4,000 more ham sandwiches."

When the Carlisle Indians Outwitted Harvard's Highbrows. In football a full field run from kick off to touchdown is a rare play. Once it was made by a Carlisle Indian, wuv covered the long distance in a game against Harvard, Oct. 31, 1903, and did so by the craftiest, wiliest stratagem ever perpetrated by a redskin upon his pale faced brother. The first half had closed with the Indians in the lead five points to none Harvard opened the battle by sending a long kick to Johnson on Carlisle's Ave yard line. The Indians quickly ran back to meet Johnson and formed a compact mass around him. Within the recesses of this mass of players Johnson slipped the ball beneath the bacU of Dillon's Jersey, which had been especially made to receive and hold the ball. Then, the ball thus secretly transferred and hidden, Johnson uttered a whoop such as Cambridge had not heard since the%days of King Philip's war, and instantly the bunch of in dlans scattered In all directions. Sonuj ran to the right and some to the left, some obliquely and some straight up the center of the field, radiating in all directions like the spokes of a wheel. The crimson players, now upon them, looked in vain for the ball, dumfound ed, running from one opponent to an other. Meanwhile Dillon was running straight down the field so as to give his opponents the least opportunity for a side or rear view and conspicuously swinging his arms to show that they did not hold the ball. Thus, without being detected, he passed through the entire Harvard team, excepting the captain, Carl B. Marshall, who was covering the deep backfield. Obeying instructions, Dillon ran straight at Marshall. The latter, as suming that the Indian Intended to block him, agilely sidestepped the Car lisle player, and as he did so he caught sight of the enormous and unwonted bulge on the back of Dillon. Instantly divining that here was the lost ball, Marshall turned and sprang at Dillon, but the latter waja well oa his way and quickly crossed the line for a touchdown.—Parke H. Davis in S t Nicholas.

More than once at a harsh word he had forsaken profitable work and gone home for sympathy to his wife. One morning Owen started out to help Glenn Butler, who had bought a new stump pulling machine and was preparing to clear a field. Toward noon Owen came back. Mrs. Mudge sighed and waited sympathetically for the explanation. "I just couldn't stand it," said Owen, rubbing his jaw. "When I see that stump puller twist them roots out it reminded me of the times I got my back teeth extracted.

DUDGEON. VOoyyrlj;ht. U14, Western Newspaper Linun. > WILL THE BANKERS REFORM? Copenhagen, Denmark.—The American banker must reform. If he does not he will be up against it as are others who refuse to mend their ways. The American farmer cannot get money of American bankers upon terms suited to his needs. He is going to* have the money from some source. If the banker will not give it to him he will organize a new kind of a bank, for you may rest assured that the American farmer is going to have an opportunity to borrow money upon some suitable basis. The Irish farmer can get money on favorable terms; the Belgian farmer cooperating with bis neighbors does his own banking; In Germany the cooperative banks do a bueiness that is astonishing in its volume; in Denmark it is easy to get money for buying a farm or for temporary investment in seeds, fertilizers or stock. The same is true of the farmer in Italy and France; even in benighted Russia farm credits are cared for by cooperative organizations. Do the bankers of America think that the American farmer is going to consent to continue to be the only civilized agriculturist who has no adequate borrowing facilities. That is not the American way. What, then, can possibly prevent the formation of co-operative credit associations all over America? Nothing, except the presence of some institution that will do for the American farmer what cooperative credit Is doing for the European farmer. If the American banker wishes to do the banking business of America so far as the farm is concerned, he and he a!on6 can give the fanner this sort of an institution and thus make co-operative credit societies unnecessary. It is up to the banker. Capital for Farming. \ Formerly when an American farm \:ould be acquired by living upon it, when horses and cows and Implements were cheap, and when fertilizers, blooded stock, and special high-grade seeds were unknown, a young man with comparatively little capital could begin farming. Now considerable capital is as necessary to success in agriculture as it is in the manufacturing industries. Every wise farmer knows that money judiciously expended in better stock, better buildings, laborsaving machinery, proper fertilisers, and good seed will net large returns. But it takes money to do theee things. Consequently there is a demand for loans. In America the farmer can seldom get a loan on terms that meet his needs. In Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Italy and felsewhere upon the continent the I banks have forced the fanners to ortjganize co-operative credit societies. In many instances the government also bag aided the co-operative banks in obtaining money for loans. These societies are taking a safe, profitable ess away from the bank. Now when it Is too late the banks realize their mistake. ' To buy a farm there are a number of different methods open to the Danijish farmer. It must be remembered that in Denmark a farm it considered • • having live stock and implements need in working the land 1» •Bearably attached to it, hence the purchase price to be paid includes all frcsjulfnant necessary to the operation With*farm and all mortgages are ssewred Jml% pledge of this personal inspcrtjras weU a* of the real estate. If the would-be buyer has forty per cent, of the purchase price he may apply to a credit society for a longtime loan amounting to sixty per cent, of the value of the farm and all equipment and stock upon it. The loan may run from forty-five years to seventynine years. The borrower has his prospective purchase surveyed and assessed. He makes out a mortgage and delivers It to the co-operative society. This mortgage and hundreds of others like it are delivered to a trustee with a trust deed which pledges them as security for a series of bonds. The co-operative society guarantees t h a bonds also. It is from the sale of these bonds that the co-operative society obtains its funds. These co-operative credit associations have in the beginning no capital whatsoever. Each is simply an agency whose functions are to see (1) that the real estate security offered Is assessed at its true value; (2) that the title Is clear; (3) that the mortgages are properly executed; (4) that they are grouped, pledged and deposited with the " trustee; (5) that the trustee issues bonds; (6) that the land, buildings and equipment are properly cared for and their value is not permitted to deteriorate; (?);that the payments of principal and interest are promptly met Easy Repayment of Loans. The farmer pays from four to six per cent, of the principal amount each year. This is not wholly interest, however, for it includes a small installment of principal, for the mortgages are all amortization mortgages. Payment of this fixed sum annually or semi-annually for the fixed period therefor automatically discharges the debt A. small amount out of each payment is also set aside for reserve for the co-operative society and for an expense account It has been the universal experience, however, that the expense runs very low. Still Easier for tha Farm Laborer. There are other forms of loans even more advantageous to the borrower, particularly if he is one of the poorer farm laborers. If such a laborer seeks to become a land owner on a small scale he may under certain conditions secure a Joan for nine-tenths of the value of the proposed purchase, being required to advance only one-tenth of the purchase price in cash. The government furnished the funds for these loans. The conditions are (1) the borrower must have been engaged In agricultural labor for five years (women may take advantage of this law as well ae men); (2) the land must not exceed ten acres in extent nor $2,144 in value; (3) the borrower, and prospective purchaser must agree to crop the farm in a certain manner, dividing it up into five or seven fields and following a certain rotation of crops, thus insuring continued productiveness and preventing deterioration of soil fertility. Under these mortgages the borrower pays three per cent interest with no Installment* upon-the principal for the first five years. Then he pays, in addition to the interest one per cent, upon two-fifths of the-loan as an installment upon principal, doing this until the two-fifths of the loan n entirely discharged. Thereafter he pays an annual installment of one per cent upon the three-fifths remaining of the principal, this being in- addition to his three per cant .interest as before. The bonds n w . bo Issued upon, unstamped p e p * anc&Hft t r m Does the Danish farmer take advantage of these opportunities T Are the tenants becoming land owners? The facts are these: Denmark has 2,600,000 population, somewhat less than that of Chicago. It has about 500,000 families, including those in cities and villages as well as those In the rural regions. These co-operative credit societies have a membership of over 200,000; that Is to say, two out of every five families in the entire country are represented in them. Largely as a result of this credit system ninety per cent, of the farmers of Denmark own their own land. How Character la Capitalized. Obtaining a loan on personal security has been euphoniously termed "capitalizing character." It is not an inept phrase Blnce any farmer who has a good character, who 1« a sober, honest, industrious, intelligent, productive worker, has a capital that is considered a proper basis for credit and he can in fact capitalize his. character. His character is in very truth under these conditions his capital. Here is the way it is done here in Denmark: By the law* enacted in 1898 the government is authorized to turn over to the credit association $1,250,000, for which the associations account to the government at the rate of three per cent, per annum^ This sum is placed at the disposal "of the farmers' credit association in order that these associations may be ready to give small loans to their members. When any farmer finds it urgently necessary to secure a loan in order to meet expenses such as the payment of wages, the price of better seeds, or of artificial manures, or of feed for cattle, he makes application to one of these associations. In determining the amount of the loan to be granted to each man it Is the theory that the earning capacity of the borrower should be taken into account. This is thought to be best Indicated by the number of dairy cows which he owns. A member may thus obtain a loan to about $13 per head of cattle fed and milked on the place. The loans must be repaid in from one to nine months. Interest must not, according to the original law exceed 4¼ per cent per annum to the borrower. Danish Bankers Have Reformed. The fact that there are in Denmark many banks which are organized for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of the farmers has awakened the Danish banker to the fact that the rural credit is a big bueiness which he cannot afford to ignore. Compared with the American banker the Danish banker most decidedly has reformed. He does meet the needs of the farmer in a manner which would surprise Americans. This is particularly true of the method in which he assists in financing co-operative associations. When the big Trifollum dairy association was formed, for example, it was done in this way: One hundred farmers, most of them owners of large farms, formed an organization for the manufacture of dairy products and for the further purpose of supplying milk to the city of Copenhagen. These one hundred farmers were the owners of something like 12,000 cows.. While they individually had property, real and personal, they had no money which they wished to Invest in a cooperative organization. They therefore sent their leaders to the bank to borrow the money. They simply asked the bank for a loan of $125^000 on the note signed by these leaders. The bank did not require the other members af the association to sign the note, although by the terms of the agreement into which all had entered in the formation of the co-operative association all were liable, jointly and severally, for the debt contracted at the bank. As a matter of course the bank made the loan to these farmers at a low rate of interest. Can Banks Supply Rural Credit? I have said it ie up to the banker to supply the American farmer with loans similar to those supplied to the European farmer. But there are those who say that the joint stock bank can never meet the farmers' needs as do co-operative credit societies and that co-operative credit will come in spite of all the bankers can do. Dr. Charles McCarthy Is of this number. He bases his conclusion on these grounds: First, no joint stock bank can afford to tie its money up for long-period-loans as do the credit banks. These deposits are all shorttime deposits. They have no way of hypothecating one series of loans In order to raise money for another series. Second: No money-making concern can possibly serve the farmers as do cooperative credit societies whose sole aim is to aid the borrower and to protect his interests. But in agriculture a system of rural credit cannot be a substitute for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Unless the farmer produces a good product and sells tt to advantage his farming will be a failure. Easy loans will only make it t> bigger failure. Cooperative credit is important hot with it must oome a better aystem of marketing either oo-operattve or otherwise, which, will give thaiarmer more than half what H paid torts* fajin-piwdnot An0 so tar as we can learn joo^paratlre mar- KEEP EFFECT IN MIND W A L L DECORATION J8 WORTHY OF MUCH THOUGHT. On the Proper Selection and Hanging of Pictures Depends Much of the Beauty of the Room—How Best to Display Them. Very few people know how to hang pictures. This may seem a sweeping statement, but one has only to notice the different walls round about—perhaps in one's own home—and the sweep will be verified. In some rooms in which I have been I could be almost sure the pictures had been hung by the participants in a donkey party, each picture being tacked at random by a sightless one, and by no means near the donkey!— here, there, everywhere, with no reference whatever to form, color, design, ornamentation, unity, but rather a proposition of no many pictures, so many bare walld, so many tacks, and up they go, with the result looking much so. Now, while In most cases a plea could be made for more regularity, too much regularity (the wrong kind) is just as bad, writes Ethel Davis Seal in the Philadelphia North American. I remember once noticing the peculiar effect produced by a large picture and a small one exaetly beneath it, repeated seven or eight times in one room, with no hope of a change in sight to relieve the monotony. It was ae trying on the nerves as a constant striking on one key on the piano. Besides, it cast reflection on the originality of the picture hanger. Even worse is the overworked diagonal placing of pictures. While this is occasionally good the occasion is only the exception which proves the rule, and I might almost say that you should never put one picture a little to one side beneath another picture. And this seems the favorite placing on the walls of most amateurs. If you "know that you don't know," do not be afraid to hang just one picture of fair slse In whatever space you have under consideration and condense all the little pictures you feel you must have on one wall. This brings me to one of the serious faults to be found sometimes with the pictures themselves: they are too small and insignificant This can, in some cases, be overcome by condensing them. With this idea In mind, glance at the arrangement of the pictures over the drawing of a davenport. Immediately one receives a pleasant impression caused by the harmony of design. The no£ all be figures, but In spirit they should not be incongruous. You will see exactly what I mean when I toil you that I once saw the picture of a little boy whom nobody loves and who is disconsolately considering going oat in the garden to eat worms hanging directly under Hoffman's head of Christ FINE THREE-PIECE COSTUMjE In Style and Material This Is One of the Most Serviceable That Has • Been Designed. At almost any tima-of the year It would be difficult for a semi-smart three-piece costume, as shown here, to fail of service. The two shaped flounces, or godets, as they are most* ly termed, surmounting the slim, plain skirt, are afforded an original touch by the introduction of a square emplecement In front, stitched with the same small braided buttons as are six or more small pictures are grouped formally enough to form one unit, and one is not annoyed by a spotty htt-ormlss effect, which a more careless disposition of these same pictures would surely give. The space above the davenport might be correctly filled in other ways. The three lower pictures might be dispensed with, in which case the three larger ones should be lowered. Or one large picture could fill this whole space. In gathering a number of -pictures into a group some attention should be given to the subjects, and ridiculous combinations avoided. They need not all be landscapes, and they need LETTING OUT BABY CLOTHES Matter That Should Be Kept in Mind When, the Garments Are First Planned and Made.

To make it, allow two or three inches more on the length of the garment than Is needed for tha ordinary wide hem.

Dainty but Durable Bamboo. Novelties in bamboo furniture are among the desirable articles which a woman can pick up to help furnish her rooms. Aside from their being prettily decorated, they are Btrong and firm, built to withstand a great deal-of hard usage. But their chief attraction lies in their remarkable lightness which enables the^nome-maker to move them from one end of a house to the other without any strained lifting. This is due largely to tho almost imperceptible weight of their hollow bamboo frames, which are covered with the finest straw matting. .' An extremely-heat desk for a Girl's boudoir shows large pink peonies scat* tared here and there over the surface of the matting. Book racks, bureaus, and all sorts of oddly shaped tables are also decorated to match. tucks run in them by hand, to be let! out as occasion may require.

The State Fair association has again made the same offer it did during the last two years, regarding paying the expenses of a boy from each county to the state iair. Any boy between 14 and 18 years of age may compete. The county eighth grade examination counts one-half and an agricultural examination of 20*question prepared by the fair management composes the other half of the test. The boy with the highest average is chosen. One of the most difficult tasks in newspaper offices is getting the facts relative to births, deaths and marriages in the community. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies, the editor is familiar with every detail of the deceased and his activities, when a* a fact he knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with regard to marriages or other more or less important happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig np particulars or to satisfy himself and the readers of his paper with a meager and inacurate account. The average editor of a county paper has something like a million and a half of things to do and think about in a week and patrons can hardly over estimate how much ht appreciates any effect they make in furnishing him th* la*te for news items, bat they •Hftld bo furnished at once and aafcwsfc* week or two to see if he^rifl have i t Fr. <3oyle was a Jackson visitor Saturday.

Sir Wtfliam Hamilton was an authority on Kooiun and Grecian antiquities. His One collection of them and bis great book on the subject prove that ussertiou. He wrote to Wedgwood about that much admired work of ancient art (the Barberini vase) in thetie terms: "Except the Apollo Belvedere, the Nlobes and two or three others of the first class marbles, I do not believe that there are any monuments of antiquity existing that were executed by so great an artist." This is about the highest commendation that could be bestowed, and when we consider that such a work, so soaringly eminent, was successfully Imitated by one of our own artist potters it is Barely a ground for national gratification. The original vase came into the possession of the noble Italian family or Barberini, hence its name. It was acquired by Byres, the antiquary, and then by Sir William Hamilton, who brought it to England in the year 1784. He, in turn, sold it to the Duchess of Portland. Her descendant, the fourth duke, deposited It In the British museum, owing to which fact it is best known to Englishmen as the Portland vase. It was lent by the duke to Wedgwood to make his copy from. The body of it had been much disput ed, but he found that it was glass. He was not a glassblower, but had invented his wonderful Jasperware by that time and decided his copy should be made of that substance. It was a tremendous task and took some three years in the modeling by Hackwood and others. The cost was never recouped by the subscriptions. It is justly esteemed to have been Wedgwood's masterpiece. It has been reproduced by his successors and by other potters, but, of course, they have not the same market value as those made by the great Joslah himself.—W. Turner in Westminster Review.

For some time past the de facto government of Mexico has seemed to think mere apologies sufficient when the rights of American citizens or the dignity of the government of the United States were involved and has apparently made no attempt at either reparation or the effective correction of the serious derelictions of its civil and military officers. Orderly Placed In Jail. "Immediately after the Incident at Tamplco an orderly from one ot the ships of the United States in the harbor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent ashore to the post office for the ship's mail, and who was in uniform and who had the official mail bag on his back, was arrested and put into jail by the local authorities. He was subsequently released and a nominal punishment was inflicted upon the officer who arrested him, but it was significant that an orderly from the fleet of the United States was picked out from the many persons constantly going shore on various errands, from the various ships in the harbor, representing several nations. Official Dispatch Withheld. "Most serious of all, the officials in charge of the telegraph office at Mexico City presumed to withhold an official dispatch of the government of the United States to Its embassy at Mexico City, until It should have been sent to the censor and his permission received to deliver It, and gave the dispatch Into the hands of the charge d'affaires of the United States only upon his personal and emphatic demand, he having in the meantime learned through other channels that a dispatich had been sent him which he had not received. United States 8!ngle4 Out "It cannot but strike anyone who has watched the course of events in Mexico as significant that untoward incidents such ae these have not occurred in any case where representatives of other governments were concerned, but only In dealings with representatives of the United States, and that there has been no oocaslon for other governments to call attention to such matters or to a*k for apologies. "These repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States, offenses not duplicated with regard to the representatives of other government*, have necessarily made the Impression that tba gorernment of the United States was singled out for manifestations of 111 will and contempt/* THE INSULT FOR WHICH REPARATION IS DEMANDED Thursday morning, April 0, a boat's crew of United States marines, In command of Assistant Paymaster Charles C. Copp, left the gunboat Dolphin for Tamplco to get a fresh supply of gasoline. The United States flag was flying from the stern of the whaleboat when It approached the landing in Tamplco. For no assigned cause Assistant Paymaster Copp and his men were placed under arrest as they stepped ashore. Surrounded by a detail of Mexican Federal troops they were marched up and down the prlnoipal streets of the city, and finally taken to the police station, where they were locked up. One report of the affair says the United States flat; was snatohed from the stern of the whaleboat when the arrests were made and carried and subjected to the jeers and hisses of the anti-American populace. There Is no denial of the fact that the prisoners were made the subjects of an anti-American demonstration, though at the time of their arrest they had just stepped from a boat flying the United States flag, were wearing the uniform of the United States and were conducting themselves in an orderly manner. After the Americans had been detained several hours, word of their arrest was carried to Rear Admiral Mayo, who demanded their immediate release. The demand was complied with, but the only reparation mads was* a bri^f expression of regret tor t h s aflagsd mistake. • Tie Dtffarsfio0t l a these days, when a man thinks be has won his ladylor* It Is a east of hit or miss.'* •Bi the primitrvs ttass wh*a a maa knocked dow» the gM he fanolsl tt a ease of J* —* - * - > KUERTA DEFIES UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Mexican Dictator Refuses to Salutd Flag as Ordered by Pres. Wilson TROOPS WILL PROCEED TO OCCUPY MEXICAN CITIES Congress Authorizes President to Use Army and Navy for Forcible Occupation of Republio of Mexico. Washington—Gen. VIctoriano Huerta, provisional president of Mexico, flatly refused Sunday night to accede to the unconditional demands of the United States that he salute the American flag, and congress has authorized President Wilson to use armed forces to uphold the honor and dignity of the nation. Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute in reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tamplco on April 10, came to a close Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favorable response from the Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal to comply unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute would be returned. The crisis thus reached does not mean there will be a formal declaration of war,, because the United States could not declare war againBt a government which it does not recognize. President Wilson has authority, however, to send the armed forces into Mexico, to seize first the ports of Tamplco and Vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City. The president held a cabinet meeting Monday 10:30 o'clock, when the final arrangements for a pacific blockade of Mexican ports and other steps in the president's program were deliberated. The breach that 'finally has come with Mexico will make it impossible, It was declared on high authority, for the United States to further protect foreigners in that republic and foreign governments have been notified of the situation in this regard. WHI Occupy Mexico. MaJ.-Qen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, is under orders from the president to proceed to Galveston and Texas City to take command of the forces of occupation in the movement on Mexico. A very important distinction is drawn between an army for an invasion and an army for the occupation of Mexico. Mexico is not to be invaded. It is to be occupied and this movement is to be extended until Huerta comes to terms. The first step will be the bellger* ent blockade of all the Mexican ports. Then Tamplco and Vera Cruz, and it Was learned some of the other Mexican ports, are to be occupied by a force of marines from the fleet These ports will form advance bases for the army which, if the dictator does not come to terms, will follow. The army will also be. sent into Mexico if the dictator permits the people in Mexico to commit any outrage against American and foreign citizens. Gen. Wood Will Govern. Under the command of Gen. Wood, the army will, if necessary, penetrate Mexico to Mexico City and on arriving at Mexico City, Gen.

Replying to Holtoh's warning that She must do nothing that would place her in a dangerous position, Miss La Tossa laughed. "It is nothing, I can assure you," she averred. "This Is really a small matter." "Well," grumbled Holton, "I hope so, but I shall go with you." "You shall not," she replied emphatically. "But—" "My dear Mr. Holton, there are no huts—you cannot, cannot, cannot come." "This much I shall do," returned Holton with decision. "I shall accompany you to Sevilla and will remain hidden in a place where I can hear you call if you want me." She laughed. "My bold cavalieF"—her voice was gentle—"so you shall. And If I want you I will call." "Good!" Holton moved to his horse. "Shall we be going?** At Sevilla, which consists of about three buildings, or rather did consist of three buildings in those warlike days of 1898, Ramon took the road to hie camp, while Miss La Tossa, Holton, and Pierre urged their horses In the direction of the building whose roof the young Cuban had pointed out earlier in the evening. Perhaps fifty yards from this structure rose a thick growth of bushes, and here Miss La Tossa halted. "You will remain here, Mr. Holton," ehe said, ."and Pierre will accompany me." "Ton will call me if you need met*' asked Holton. "Yes, truly. And in any event, I shall come to you here after I have spoken to my countrymen." "All right Good luck." Sue kissed her hand gayly to him, or at least Holton so Interpreted her gesture, bat dimly seen in the darkness. He was Quite certain that he kissed his hand to her. Fastening bis horse, he waited, listening; for perhaps ten minutes. But hearing nothing, his natural impatience asserted itself, and crawling out of the bushes he disobeyed the girl's injunction* by working his way nearer the building. He finally made quite certain that there was nothing on that side- of it, and crawling to the corner he peered in. And here he saw things. First ta*re was a fire, and aroond It were gathered, he Judged, about fifty Cuban officers and soldiers. Their faces were somber .and their msnosr oortentons. Nea?4he fare stood Miss I A Toes* tasking mtsnafrrtly to s o * As she spoke, however, a man in the uniform of a captain rose and clapped his hands. The men to whom the girl was speaking withdrew their attention from her, and as a matter of fact she, herself, appeared to make no effort to hold them. On the contrary, as soon as the officer clapped his hands, evidently preparatory to speaking, she walked away from the group and gave her entire attention to this man. "Countrymen," he said, "I think we all recognize that in the event of the success of the Americans, Cuba will receive no benefit whatever. It will be a case merely of changing masters. And as for me, between the Spaniards, from whose stock we sprang, and the Americans, the Yankees, who are utterly alien, give me the Spaniards. We have already felt their,heel; we know what their scorn is, and their contempt"—the man was lashing himself to a fury—"I, myself, was shouldered out of the trail by a young pig of an officer not five days ago, and when I drew my sword, a pig of a Yankee private knocked me down with his hand. Is this friendship? I ask you, brothers—Is this what we were led to expect from our friends of the north, our saviors, our deliverers?" <. \ "But, Juan," interrupted an elderly captain, "that is all personal. I/myself have felt the contempt which the Americans feel for us, but £ should be willing to suffer more than contempt for my country's freedom. I have already suffered, as you know, at the hands of our oppressors. Contempt is very mild and easily to be borne when our liberty is the reward for it. If you have nothing more than narratives of personal affronts to give us, I for one shall not be very much impressed." "Bah!" The voice of the first speaker rose almost to a shriek. "I— I put my personal feelings above my patriotism! So you say! That—that was merely my beginning. Wait until I have finished and then let me hear your sneers, if sneers you have left." "Well, well, go on, I am "waiting," answered the older man. "So," resumed the speaker, "we all know what this generous nation of Yankees, this nation so given to establishing freedom throughout the world, intends to do with the Philippine Islands. Their newspapers leave us no doubt as to that Imperialism! That is the cry in the United States. They have received their I j f Trtth bared hsnflsand frttirr Near the Fire 8tood Miss La Tossa. taste of aggrandizement—and the taste is good. Have you been deaf to the talk-about the American" camp? What is the word you hear oftenest among their officers? I'll tell you: 'World-power!' That is what they say: 'World-poweri' •• • A sort of low cry went the rounds of his bearers, and Holton could see that the speaker was bringing them one and all beneath his spell. He sat down, looking gloomily at the ground, paying no attention to the round of hand-clapping thai attended his peroxattosw" tot a moment no one, stirred. It apfeared as tbojagh afl^weso «*«»%f»s: digesting too elcquenos that bad been poured' mt*4b^e*j»s. Then aaojfe*? *ttt0ft leaned ssmvtf New Wlllard, o»me tonight to place the capstone utxra the spell he had been weaving among the officers of the Cuban army. "Brothers," he began, "I came here tonight to counsel prudence, and, in fact, I do so counsel yqu now." • Hoiton's face filled with amazement What was he getting at? In a few moments he found o u t "I do most earnestly counsel prudence," he continued. "There are things that must be borne. The soldiers of the United States have come here. Well, good. We brought them here. At least, so It would appear. "Of course, we believe that these men were sent here because of the great yearning of the United States to see us a free, unshackled country. And so they have come down here to set us free, and then, having done BO, to retire with a blessing, and to contemplate with pride the growth of the republic, free and untrammeled. "So much we know. The Spaniards will be driven from the island, and then will these Americans^turn to us and say, 'Behold, here is your country; take it and develop it, and make it great, and may God be with you.' So I say prudence. "But, on the other hand, there are some of us who may possess wellformed doubts as to the truth of the beautiful word picture I have painted for you. Yes, there are many who doubt damnably. Has the United States ever been known to talk one way and act another? To those who know the political history of that great nation, I need say no more. To those who do n o t I say that governmental policies in the United States are fickle jades, blown willy-nilly by the winds of public opinion—they are valueless as things to depend upon; they are trivial even to consider. And yet"—he raised his hand to still a rising growl of voices—"and yet, still I counsel prudence." "Why?" roared a hoarse voice from the darkness. "Why? I can answer you simply. Because we are weak. We have been in the field fighting for several years. But we are not soldiers. At least the Americans say so. You have heard them— One moment," as the murmur arose again. "Oh, no, we are not soldiers. But the Americans are. We know that. They are soldiers who have Bold cloth and beans and sugar, and perchance may have sold guns! And so they are Boldiers—soldiers that we do well to fear. So again I advise prudence, always prudence. "If they leave us our country, good; but If they elect to retain it as another of their possessions, whjr, good, also. For what can we do? They will be kind to us. They will feed us so that we do not starve, and they will put trolley-cars—" A fierce yell interrupted him, and, although he raised his hand, he could not again regain attention. Nor had he need to. He had done his work, and done It well. One man arose, holding aloft a sword. "My countrymen," he yelled, "if by tomorrow night I have not plunged this into the breast of five Americans, I shall plunge it into my own throat" A wild cheer greeted his words. Then came a lull suddenly, as though the men were Beeking outlet for their emotions. And Cesnola was there to give it to them. He held out his hand. All eyes were fastened on him. The^first word had fallen from his mouth when the voice of a woman, raised in thrilling cadence, wiped additional utterance from the spy's lips. As Holton looked the girl sprang to the speaker's side and held out her hand. And as she stood thus, the naval officer never forgot the picture. "My countrymen," she cried at length, "I have listened to all who have spoken, and I have observed you. I have wondered whether the fever has got into your brains, and whether you are children led hither and thither by the idle words 61 plotters." Cesnola sprang in front of her and pushed her roughly aside. "I resent this intrusion!" he shouted. "I resent the presence of this woman—" What more he would have said may only be surmised, for the girl, her eyes biasing, turned to the audience, and, with finger Quivering a t the spy, she said: "That, man pushed me, my country— men^ Is there no one to avenge me?" Her voice was quiet, almost unemotional, and she looked calmly around the circle. It was plain to see she was beloved of these men; but it was equally plain that the spell of the spy's words lay about their minds in serpent coils. She paused. _ "I seel Chivalry has departed from among us. I, must myself wipe out this gross Insult" So saying, and before anyone could move, her ridjng*whip flashed in her hand, and slro struck Cesnola a, blind* ing blow across the face. From the sneer shook he went down as though hit by an ex. But ho sprang to bis feet on the instant, his tsce livid with rage, bis hand upon a long busting* knife, • J * another second HoMoa would hove boon * t *&• girl's side; but becsoJeV ssoro, a balf-doson revolvers flashed In the hands of Cuban officers, and the deep voice of the elderly captain broke the stillness. "Stop, Senor Cesnola. Remembex who you are—and remember it well We have listened to you, and now we will listen to the beautiful and spirited penorita." Miss La Tossa Broiled radiantly. "Thank you," she replied. "I have no burst of eloquence to give you, men of Cuba. I say merely that you have been badly advised, misled, by those whose interest it is to mislead you. And, further, I do nothing more than this." She flashed aloft President McKinley's dispatch, and then handed it to the Cuban captain, who read it and then in silence passed it around the circle. At length, as it was about to go into Cesnola's hands, Miss La Tossa intercepted the paper and extended it to an officer whom she knew. "I do not wish this to pass into that man's hands," she said. "Will you read it to him, major?" The officer complied, and then returned the dispatch to the girl with a bow. "Gentlemen," cried the young woman, "can you ask more than that?* A cheer—not a general cheer—but still fairly satisfactory in its strength, greeted her words. As it died out Cesnola stood forth, raising his hand. He regarded the girl malignantly. "Let us know one thing," he snarled. "Where did you get that message? Are you—" Miss La Tossa stamped her foot "Silence!" she cried. "To you I "You Lie, You Hound." shall not speak another word. If any gentleman"—she emphasized the term —"if any true Cuban"—this word yshe also emphasized—"wishes to question me, I will gladly respond." "Well," replied an officer, "we ask you, then, to answer the statement just made by Senor Cesnola." "It is easily answered," she returned quickly. "I am not in General Srafter's confidence. He darns' not give to me his private messages—" "And you received this, then—" queried the officer. "From an officer who possesses the confidence of General Shafter not only, but of President McKlnley." "He Is a Cuban officer?" suggested the questioner- "He—" "Ah!" Cesnola sprang forward. "Allow me to tell you who he is." Then, without heeding the girl's remonstrating voice, he ran on like a wild man:, "He is an American naval officer who has been spying among us throughout this campaign and before. You know I was in Washington and In Tampa before the Americans declared war, and you know much that I saw and heard there has proved of value to us. "I declare to you that this man Holton was sent among us to disorganize us, and to prevent any effort on our part to throw off the American yoke once we saw it settling upon our necks. He was in Garcia's camp two days before the Americans landed, and he was there In the guise of a writer for an English newspaper. If he had not designs against us, why did he not appear in his true colors? Would not Garcia have received him? "After the battle of July 1st he was in Santiago. He was in this girl's house, unknown to her father, and he was assailing this girl with caresses— which she accepted until interrupted by her fathers friends—then he leaped through a window, followed by a bullet from her father's pistol." "You* lie!" \ The voice fairly drowned out Cesnola's wild tirade; and as be recoiled from the unexpected interruption, Holton appeared from out of the darkness and stood in the firelight pointing his finger at the spurious Cuban. "Ton lie, you hound! You were the one who was in the house of this glrL and with you"—be turned and faced the officers—"were General Toral and Admiral Cervera. Yon nave been telling these men who I am. Well, 111 tell them who I ant. " cio B * ootrntrDsifc) RECIPES WORTH WHILE DISHES T H A T SHOULD H A V E PLACE I N H 0 U 8 E H 0 L D . Roman Meat Pudding May Be Recommended aa One of the Most Satisfactory Substantial Dainties-— Gibiet Sauce. , Roman Meat Pudding.—Boil half a cup of broken vermicelli in salted water for ten minutes. Drain. Mince tine any cold cooked meate such aa chicken, veal, mutton or beef and add] a cup of cold soup, gravy or soup) stock. Season nicely, add one beaten* egg, three tablespoonfuls of tomato* sauce or thick tomato pulp and thet vermicelli. Season with a tablespoon-i ful each of minced onion and parsley, and more salt and pepper if necessary.; Have ready some macaroni, boiled tender in salted water. It should be broken in three-inch lengths and about a pint of it prepared. Grease a plainmold or bread tin and line with t h e macaroni. Put in the prepared mince„ cover closely with lid or tie in floured; cloth and steam half an hour. Serve hot, with an ordinary white or cream' sauce. Olblet Sause.—When the chicken is placed In oven to roast, prepare the giblets—heart, liver, gizzard, neck, tips of wings. The French, creole or Missouri cook also uses the bead and feet, carefully cleaned and skinned— for they have a great deal of "goodness" in them and give body to the broth and sauce on account of the gelatin they contain. Break the bones of feet, head and wings and take only the four tender fillets from the gizzard, and do not cut the gizzard open at all, thus avoiding the contact of the meaty part and contents of the gizzard, unless, perchance, you are one of the very thrifty and provident housekeepers and have learned from some old mammy or Tante Zoe to preserve the lining of chicken gizzards for use In making your Junkets. Be careful to remove the gall sack, without breaking, from the liver. Cover the glblete with cold water and cook them gently while the chicken roasts.

IStS EUGSNS A. 8TOWE, POLLUTED WATER. Cheap and 8imple Method by Which It May Be Purified. The beat thing to do with polluted water la to keep it out of your mouth and wait until you can get some pure' water. Of course a man might starve to death in some places following that advice, so here is t h e next best thiny" to do. Disinfect the dangerous water. Here is the way to do It. Dissolve a teaspoonful of chloride of lime In a cupful of water, making sure that all lumps are thoroughly broken up, then add three more cupfuls of water. Stir the mixture well and allow to stand for a f e w seconds In order that any solid particles may s e t t l e This mixture, if kept ki a tightly stoppered bottle, may be used for four or five days, when a n ew solution should be prepared. Add one teaspoon ful of this milky looking solution to each t w o gallons of water to be purified and stir thoroughly in order that the weak chlorine solution will come iu contact with all _ t ^ bacteria which may be present Allow this to stand for ten minutes. This will give approximately one-half part of free chlorine to 1,000.000 parts of water and will effectually destroy all typhoid and colon bacilli or other disease germs in the water. The water will be without taste or odor, and the trace of !ree chlorine will rapidly disappear. This method is one which is now recommended in the health literature of the country. Water s o disinfected is not dangerous so far a s the chloride of lime is concerned if allowed to stand for ten or fifteen minutes after applying. The chief danger is that not enough disinfectant will be applied t o render t h e water safe i n all instances. Marks of Social Distinction.

Lansing, Mich,—One of the things which will be recommended to the next legislature by Governor Ferris will be the establishment of a reformatory for women. This announcement was made by the governor following a meeting of the state board of corrections and eharltles and the board of trustees of the Industrial School for Girls at Ladrlan. "The need for such an institution Hn Michigan is great," said the governor, "and I wonder it has not been established before this." It was also decided that a number of epileptics will be taken from the lapeer home to the new institution at ;WahJamega, and the room thus ere* iated used for some of the feebleminded girls now at Adrian. The teaching force at the Adrian school will also be reorganized and scientifically trained teachers added. Will Hunt for Geld. I Ishpemlng, Mich.—John A.

(Prepared by the UnlUd States Department ol Agriculture.) The department of agriculture as the result of a great demand for information relating to the construction of dairy buildings started a line of investigation through its dairy specialists for the purpose of developing the basic principles of .such construction. In order to make the work thoroughly practical, these studies were extended to the planning and actual supervision of construction of a number of dairy buildings in different sections of the country. Few localities will require or even permit of the same treatment so far as exposure, size, form, or building material are considered, but the problem of light, floors, ceilings, etc., are nearly alike in all cases. 8table for 24 Cows. The plan shown is designed for 24 cows, and allows ample room for calf pen and box stalls for bull and cows, also space for feed room, hay chute, wash room and silo. The amount of space allowed for the various purposes will meet the usual requirements. The arrangement of the space can be adapted to the needs of th_e particular location. 8peclal Features Common to All "Well- Planned Barns. The width of this barn is 31 feet 4 Inches outside. This allows ample room for the stalls and passageways. While the length here shown is 73 feet 6 inches, this depends on the number of cows to be handled. The side wills are built of brick or concrete up to. the window sills, the balance of the walls being frame. The end wails are constructed of brick or concrete up to the celling. A parti* tion extends across the barn so that the cow stable can be, entirely shut off from the rest of the barn. Windows. One of the faulty points In ordinary barn construction is the small amount of window space usually allowed. This plan provides approximately 6 square feet for each cow. It will be noted from the elevation that the windows are sliding Bash extending to the ceiling, making them nearly twice as high as they are wide. This arrangement will admit much more light than the same space if the windows were placed otherwise. Manger. The manger Is planned to be 2 feet wide and 6 inches deep, with slightly rounded corners, the front sloping at an angle of 45 degrees and the bottom being 2 inches higher than the floor of the stalls. «. 8talls. The width of Btalls is 8 feet 6 Inches, which is as narrow as should be allowed. The depth is Indicated as 4 feet 6 inches, but this may be varied according to the size of the cows in the herd. The manure gutter is 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep. Floor. The entire floor is concrete, 6 Inches-in depth when finished, laid over at least 6 inches of cinders or RAPE PASTURE FOR THE HOGS broken rock. Concrete is considered the best material for several reasons: (1) It is sanitary; (2) It is economical because of its durability; (3) when a reasonable amount of bedding is used It is comfortable to the animals and no bad effectB result. The floor is Intended to be raised about one foot above the level of the gorund to insure drainage. Alleys. The alleys behind the cows are 4 feet wide. Manure should be taken away from the barn daily and deposited in a manure shed or on the field, and the alleys are designed with this in view. It is undesirable, from the standpoint of construction and sanitation, to have a manure pit under the stable. Calf Pen. A comfortable calf pen should be provided, effectively separated from the milking herd. The one shown is 21 by 11 feet. Individual stanchions are provided for feeding calves grain and milk. Bull Pen and Box Stalls. These are approximately 10 by 10 feet. There is a full window in each stall, providing an abundance of light This is centrally located; two grain chutes from the upper floor. A hay chute from the loft above deposits the hay conveniently to the feeding alley. Watering. Watering devices may be put In the stable or provided for outside at the option of the builder. - 8torage of Feed. There is no objection to storage above the cow stable proper so long as the floor is similar In construction to the one In the drawing, so aa to be kept perfectly tight Ceiling. In colder climates it is deemed better to have a comparatively low cell-~ ing on account of temperature, and this construction admits of changes In this respect Ventilation. The plan adapts itself to any system of ventilation. The openings shown give suggestions as to where the fresh air may be taken in and the impure air discharged. Rearing Calves. The man who plans to rear his heifer calves should bear this point in mind: Vitality is one of the most important things to be developed, and It is obtained only through liberal feeding and proper care. And this is only partly true, for, unless the calf is well-born to start with, the best care and feeding will not produce a profitable cow. Very Rank Growth on One Acre May Supply Feed for Tweflty-Flve Head —Seed In 8prlng. (By DEAN MTJMFOim of the Missouri Experiment Station.) A good growth of rape will supply pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre. A very rank growth may supply feed for 26 head. Where the feeding is to extend from 10 to 14 weeks it U advisable to pasture rape at the rate of 10 to 13 head to tke acre. The favorable time for seeding rape is in the spring as soon as danger of hard freesing is past It will furnish pasture from the middle of May until the third week in August Hape will withstand ligfit frosts; but not. h*M~ froatlnf The beet remits ate obtained when oats and oiover are sown with it flow front it* to se-ren pounds of rape ahead of the *riB and then drill tn one-half baefcet of oats and. etc to ten.ponods of ekrrer seed to tkonere.

As a rule it will be better to use land for some hoed crop the year previous to planting fruit trees, although a- clover sod could be plowed under the previous fall to even better advantage. obtained that may be pastured with hogs the following year. If rape is not grased too closely in June and July, so that the stalk of the plant is eaten off, it .may grow up and make fall pasture. It should never be pastured so closely as to destroy all leaves on the stalk; and stock should not be turned on untn the plants are from 14 to 18 inches high. Complarnt—is - sometimes made by feeders that scabs and cores form on the ears and backs of the hogs on rape. The remedy is to move the hogs to another pasture for a short time and then dip them or apply sulphur and lard to the sores. Rye Meaj for Cowe.

OO0»»»»O»POO' Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing How It Is Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW 8. DUDGEON. iCopyrtg&t. 1914. Western Newspaper Union. > » » » » » « « » » » » GETTING GOOD MILK INTO THE CITY. Copenhagen, Denmark.—Would It not be a relief to you if you knew where you could get absolutely good milk, and cream, and butter; If your milk and cream were guaranteed to be rich, and pure, and« fresh; if you could buy a brand of butter which was always up to standard, always had the same flavor, and the same amount of moisture in it, was never over salted or under salted, and was always absolutely free, from taint of age. Most of us in America get good butter and good milk at times. All of us get bad butter and milk at least occasionally. Over in Denmark there is an entire nation which Is united In a common purpose of producing good milk and butter. Its success Is due to team work; the, cow does her part, the farmer does his part, the creamery does its part, the delivery man does his, and the government itself takes a hand in the process. Not very long ago there was a complaint from England that the quality of Danish butter was falling off. It was treated In Denmark as IT the national honor had been attacked and every reasonable complaint was attended to at onoe by the united aotlon of all concerned. It was not a local question, but a national one. Primarily Danish butter and milk is good because the Danish farmer is scientific in his methods. But the milk after it leaves the farm is dealt with by the distributive agencies in a way no less efficient, and scientific and businesslike. This is where the Danes surpass the Americans, and with the result both consumer and producer in Denmark have occasion to be satisfied. Why American Milk Is High to the Consumer and Low to the Farmer. Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, now director of tbei government bureau of rural organization, who at one time made a thorough investigation of the prices of farm products, says m his book on the "Principles of Rural Economics" that the milk for which the dealer in Worcester receives 2%c per quart sold for eight cents in nearby (baton. Milkmen drove all over the ''isjsjfrtb. deliver a few gallons of milk. sss» ssss^it^aA '' eHsT. •SjPSSsttWrJSl M * * r a * tat could deliver on one street consecutively from hous* to house making It unneceasary for any other delivery man to follow him up or duplicate his delivery route, the work could probably be done for one-half cent per Quart certainly for one cent per quart Another reason for the high eight cent price was that the farmer sold the milk to a contractor, (the contractor seems to have been a speeula- -* tor), who took out a profit of 2%c per quart raising the price at least two cents higher than It otherwise would nave been. The account stands thus: AS It-IS 8h*tt\dB aflHrnnn't p,trioicne c!*o»s•t• »«•• s fe&MBt is. It-Is Cents. . . . J * ••••ja Is J - S t o l * t o « a ble to do the business in this way. There is nothing mysterious or secret about it. This co-operative association, is a simple, business-like organization of dairy farmers, backed by good business men operating on sound, scientific and business principles. There is delivered every morning to local private consumers in Copenhagen 85,000 bottles of the best milk in the world at a price less than six and a half cents per quart; some of this milk comes forty miles, but it is handled so well that three cents pays all expenses and profits between the farmer and the consumer. For the same service performed In a less sanitary way taking a longer period of time, involving more waste and more contamination the Boston consumer pays five and one-half cents. Here is a saving in cost Of distribution of two and one-fourth cents per quart. If this could be saved to the milk consumer in Boston it would amount to about $10,000 pay day of $3,650,000 in a year. How many lives would be saved by absolutely pure milk at the reduced price no one knows. In order to see the Trifollum milk depot at its busiest we planned our trip to reach the establishment at 10 p. m., about the hour when they begin to fill their 35,000 bottles of milk for the morning delivery of the succeeding, day. In the office we found Director I. G. Smith, a skilled, trained man who knows the scientific side of the operative as well as he understands the business methods necessary to make a big plant a success. With him was the association's bac-v terialogist, Dr. Carl LInd, a highly skilled specialist Originally edw cated in Copenhagen he Is a graduate of an English scientific school and has also studied dairy chemistry and dairy bacteriology In Switzerland, Germany and France. The moat striking characteristic is the immaculate cleanliness that everywhere prevails. The entire establishment is absolutely free from dust and dirt Not an odor can be detected. The association furnishes the employes "with working 0164214% and itself launders them and qus^SSJSBS^Br, w V W - *awS< IMMIBSJ SaSB^p... j^j tie* * * * * • * * • atsftjni .feLfrpk **» is of the grade known generally as certified milk. In addition to this they sell a special high grade called "infant's milk." The milk that goes into the bottles so labeled must have been produced during a certain part of the • ovine lactation period. The cows must have been excluded from fodders which are inclined to give taint or unpleasant flavor to the milk. The milk must have certain high percentages of butter fat The quality and purity of this grade of milk is most carefully guarded, and it goes out only in sealed bottles or cans to families and hospitals. Skimmed milk and butter are also sold. Three different grades of cream are placed upon the market—the rich whipping cream, the medium cream and half cream. In addition to this the finest of cream cheese and the highest grades of butter are made and Bold. A particular brand of butter milk which has proved popular and profitable is known as Bulgarian Yoghurt This Is similar to the product which is said to have made the Bulgarians a race of centenarians. Its valuable qualities are due to fermentation produced by the bacteria of the Bacillus Bulgaricus variety. It is said to be a digestive aid of great effectiveness. Altogether the company takes in annually for its products the considerable sum of $4,150,000. Profit* to the Farmer. At the time when the milk is delivered to the concern the farmer is paid a little over two cents a quart This is exactly the same price which others are paid for their milk by the distributing companies. In case of the man who delivers to one of the joint stock companies this is all that the farmer ever receives for his milk. The farmer who is a member of this cooperative concern, however, at the end of the half yearly period receives a dividend which amounts to about one cent per quart. At the end of the year there is generally a small additional surplus, so that the farmer has altogether received over three cents a quart for his milk, almost one cent more a quart than the person selling to the private distributors. But this Is not all. The farmer has invested absolutely no money in this co-operative concern. Yet at the end of the 20 years the 100 farmers are In possession of a plant which is probably worth $200,000 and which has been accumulated out of the profits of the establishment. This is the property ot, those who have delivered the milk to the concern. It belongs to them in proportion to the amount of milk which they have delivered, taking into account, in every case of course, the quality of the milk as well as the quantity. The average farmer has then from his milk, in addition to the price which he has already received, made a profit of $2,000 for the 20 years. Cheap to the Consumer. On the other hand, the priceB paid to the co-operative concern by the private taker is extremely moderate. For the ordinary quality of milk, which corresponds to our certified milk, he pays about six and one-third cents per quart. For the special milk, the infants' milk and the hospital milk, which is of a quality seldom found in American cities, the consumer pays seven cents per quart. Quality First It is to be noted that this co-operative milk company succeeds, not because it Is co-operative, but it succeeds because it stands, as do other co-operative concerns, for the highest possible quality in its product It strictly enforces rigid rules relative to quality and takes every precaution to Insure cleanliness and purity. Some of the requirements which it enforces upon those who furnish milk to it are as follows: First, there must be a monthly inspection of the cows by the veter- "ij U|i—ftlsai the distributing ensajntiy; #e»jsjip»f?*J»>unhealthy or de- And He Was a Lawyer Himself. The autobiography of Thomas Jefferson contains the following: "I served with General Washington in the legialature of Virginia before the Revolution," wrote Jefferson, "and, during it, with Dr. Fraukliu In congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great pointB, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, talk by the hour?" That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected." Last Resort. "Do you think women should propose?" asked the paBse lady. "I don't know," mused the young thing. "Have you tried everything else?" That Cynic Again. The cynic believes the bonds of matrimony would be more popular if they paid cash dividends.

It should never be brushed or combed long enough to irritate the scalp ; a good brushing once a day is sufficient. The roott* of the hair are very delicate, and too much brushing injure* the roots of the hair and may cause it to fall out. It is also very injurious to use a fine comb ; this is sometimes resorted to by the inexperienced to remove dandruff. We will later give direction for the removal of dandruff without injury. Comb the hair with a comb having large, blunt teeth, no matter how fine the hair is; if a brush is used, select one with close, pliable bristles. Part the hair in the center from the forehead to the nape of the ueck, take on* side at a time and brush downward the entire length. This brushing will keep the hair soft and glossy as well as keeping it in a perfectly healthy condition. It is well at times to use gome good hair tonic or use one of the forxgjrtaa we give for the removal of dandruff.

Tha Spaniard Boils Hia a Minute and Then Drink* Thfcm Down. How do you eat an egg? Ta a stranger the manner in which you eut this part of your breakfast may indicate your nationality. Nearly every nationality has some especial way of cooking und serving eggs for breakfast, aud, quite unconsciously. the average person's order of eggs will reveal his nationality. Americans are said to prefer poached eggs. The foreigner when traveling who sees a man order a couple of eggs poached on toast almost immediately jumps to the conclusion that only an American could have given the order. Hard boiled eggs, served whole, are another American dish, and "deviled eggs," where the yolk is mixed with various condiments, Is strictly Amert* can. Fried eggs, too, are more com> mon in America than elsewhere. Hard boiled eggs are eaten in Gejf many, too, but they are usually pre* pared in a glass, chopped with butter, salt and pepper. The German likes bis soft boiled eggs very soft, indeed, and breaks the contents into a china cup, eating them from the cup. The "egg cup" is an Invention of Germany, but the German cups are large enough to contain several eggs. "Sour eggs" are eaten in Germany too. The average Englishman likes his egg boiled for three and a half minutes, no more and no less. He is particular about the time. He prefers a small egg cup that holds one egg, the shell of which Is not removed. The Englishman then removes the top of the shell. Bread and butter, instead of the toast of the American, is eaten with the Englishman's eggs. The Frenchman removes the top of his egg, too. but then he stirs the contents vigorously and adds bits of bread and butter to the egg. Sometimes squares of bread are dipped into the egg. No Spaniard would dream of letting an egg boil three minutes—that is, if he prefers his eggs prepared strictly In the native fashion. The .egg is allowed to boil only one minute and is then broken-open and the contents poured into a glass, the real Spanish, epicure drinking it off as If It were water. IB Italy eggs, to be perfectly prepared are started on their boiling by being put into cold water. When the water comes to a boil the egg Is done. It Is eaten on a large plate with bread. —Chicago Tribune. •rSL; • • • . < • ' More Wholesome F o o d From Stott'ft Diamond Flour It is not the amount ci Bread you eat so much as the quality of the bread.

Vera Cruz, April 24.—The stars and etripes wave over Vera Cruz, but only after a heavy loss of life to the attacking force of American marines end bluejackets and to the Mexicans who defended the city. A dozen Americans were killed and from 250 to 500 Mexicans were shot down while persistently resisting the advance of the United States forces. More than two hundred Mexicans were taken prisoners and lodged on board the protected cruiser San Francisco. Acting under orders from Rear Admiral Badger, American sailors and marines started early Thursday to clean up the city and to capture or drive out the "snipers," or Mexican sharpshooters, who have kept up an fc~% '•P''-«. « l •*».' ; ' *r%f+\t , since landing forces first touched Mexican soil on Tuesday. Detachments of Americans made an organized search through all houses flanking the streets. In some instances the hidden Mexican irregulars gave battle and hand-to-hand fighting in the dirty, dark rooms of the adobe buildings followed. Throughout the night sentries drawn from the ranks of the sailors and marines paced through the streets, keeping a keen outlook for bands of prowlers. Most of the electric-lighting system had been destroyed by the bombardment of the Prairie and the Chester and bonfires were lighted in the parks and upon the water front 8entrlea Fire on Prowlers Moving Through 8hadows. At times the powerful searchlights of the American, men of war swept the sand dunes north and south of the city or lighted a brilliant path along the harbor front. On shore the stillness was punctuated by the crack of rifle fire. Sentinels who passed steadily to and fro at times fired upon forms which moved with suspicious stealth through the shadows. The fire occasionally was7 returned and from time to time the scattering shots seemed to resolve themselves Into mild volleys. Most of the 4,000 sailors 'and marines slept in the open, wrapped in ' thick service blankets, for the nights are chilly and a fog blew in from the harbor. The bivouac of the American army in the streets of the partially blasted city made a picturesque scene. The moonlight flickered down upon the Bleeping forms and the stacked arms. Army Reorganizing Ten Miles From Vera Cruz. Rear Admirals Badger and Fletcher received reports that General Gustavo Maas, federal commander at Vera Cruz, who fled afthe approach of the Americans, is trying to reorganize a Mexican army near Terjeria, about ten miles northwest of the city on the railway line leading to Mexico City. It was said that Maas had called upon the federal garrisons at Orizaza and Puebla Cordoba to send reinforcements and field guns. These reports did not cause the American naval authorities much anxiety, but they did have the effect of increasing the watchfulness of the Invading forces. Double lines of sentries were posted along the railway terminals in the western part of the city with orders to report at once to the military authorities at the United States consulate If they saw any large bodies of Mexicans. Marines on Polios Duty to Prevent More Disorder. American Consul W. W. Canada and Rear-Admiral Badger Thursday prepared a proclamation of martial law and sailors and marines will be used for police duty throughout the city to prevent disorder. The battleships Michigan, Louisiana and Minnesota, the latest to arrive, Anchored in the inner harbor so as to make the landing of additional sailors and marines easy. Sailors detailed to mortuary duty reported that the heaviest loee of life among the Mexicans occurred around the naval academy and arsenal, which rwer% vigorously shelled by the Arkan- «as late Wednesday.

Temporary hospitals have been established throughout the city, the chief one being in the Plaza hotel, of which Dr. Elliott of the dreadnaught Florida is in charge. Members of the American Medical corps have been installed in San Sebastian hospital, where there are a number of wounded Mexicans. Early Thursday a number of machine guns were brought ashore from the newly arrived battleships, some of them being posted on the flat roofB of the adobe houses. Sunrise found the roQf of the Parochial church, the tallest building in the city, swarming with bluejackets ready to pick off anyM I Mexican "snipers^ that might show themselves. A machine gun was placed upon the roof of the Hotel Diligencia, which was in the line of flre, and was badly shot up. All the windows were broken by bullets. Other machine guns have been planted around the railway terminals, the custom house, the United States consulate, the post office, the cable office and other structures. British Tars Cheer U. S» Marines Hurrying to Attack. One incident occurred during the landing of American reinforcements which shows the spirit of friendship among the armed forces on the big international fleet A Mexican sharpshooter had been taking pot shots at British sailors on the cruiser Essex, and Albert Klmber, paymaster, had been wounded. When several whaleboats, carrying United States marines, swept close to the English warship on their way to the customs house wharf, the British tars gathered at the rail and* cheered with might and main. The Americans have behaved with the utmost gallantry since operations began, and there has been no complaint of any kind. Rear Admiral Fletcher Is proud of his "boys" and sent the following message addressed to the men of the fleet: "The division commander desires to express his admiration at the splendid and efficient work of the naval brigade which captured Vera Cruz and efficient support of the cruisers, which reflects great credit upon the accu* racy of the fire of the gunners. "During the night the Americans on the western side of the city captured a number of straggling Mexicans, most of whom were armed with rusty, old muskets. The freight sheds were turned Into detention pens and the prisoners were locked up until they could be transferred to the warships. "Many -of the Mexican dead were also buried during the night without any attempt at identification. Practically all were men of low caste, whose fighting had been without a single spark of patriotic animation." Work preliminary to the seizure of the railroad from Mexico City to the eastern seacoast already has been done. 8cldiers Ordered Not to Drink Vera Crux Water. The American on the firing line suffered greatly from lack of water* They were under orders not to drink the city water for fear it might eontain poison, and most of them had exhausted the contents of their canteens. A number of Mexicans, mostly women with babies in their arms, appealed to American sailors and marines for food.

UNITED STATES ACCEPTS Conditions Imposed By President Wilson Include Elimination of Huorta in Mexican Affaire. Washington.—Pan-American diplomacy Saturday night made its first attempt to solve the Mexican crisis by peaceful negotiation. The United States government accepted from Argentine, Brazil and Chile a formal offer to act as intermediaries in the present situation, but reservedly pointed out that an act of aggression by the military forces or - hostile demonstrations toward Americans might upset hopes of immediate peace. Coincidentally with the acceptance of the offer of mediation, administration officials announced there would be no cessation of preparations by the army and navy for future emergencies and no orders would be issued to the naval forces now: at Vera Cruz or the ships at sea changing original plans. No further steps, however, to obtain reparation for the indignities which gave rise to the present situation will be attempted, while the effort is being made to bring about a settlement through diplomacy. Although the offer made by the three South American countries did not reveal their plans, it was learned that they oontemplate a broad settlement of the Mexican problem through the elimination of Knerta on which the United States has insisted from the beginnings Notification of the offer of intermediation was sent met only to the diplomats representative* of Argentine, Braail and Chile in Mexico Olty, but,to Otn.

The German ambassador, Admiral Von Hlntze* at Mexico City, has refused point-blank to comply with a demand made on him by federal soldiers to surrender 200 rifles with which the embassy had been provided for its own protection. Von Hintze informed Huerta personally that "if you get the arms you will have to fight for/them." Villa and Carranza Differ. El Paso, Tex.—Surface indications Saturday were that Carranza and Villa are in disagreement over the attitude the constitutionalists should assume toward the United States. Carranza send out a message saying he prptests against the Ameican invasion and declaring the Mexican people will fight against the Invaders to the last breath. Over in Juarez Pancho Villa said: "My personal wishes are that the United States continue to blockade Vera Cruz and all the Huerta ports." That indicates a break between Car rania and Villa and raises the question which is the stronger. "I shall not be surprised if Villa places Carranza under arrest," said one man who had been campaigning, with Don Panoho. "Villa has Carranza where he can play with him as a cat does with a mouse," declares another intimate. "The cat sometimes seems to sleep, but let the mouse try to get away and how Quioxly the cat's paw crushes it" "Will the other constitutionalist generals stay with Vflla?" a friend of the brigand-general was asked. "They wilL" "How does Villa knewr x "Ho has been in telegraphic communication with all of them." The United Statos federal omccrs here hold this same view. They, regard Villa as the dominating figure and are negotiating with him as such to the exclusion of Garraasa. Villa's exact words, as reported by the friend to whom ha made tho statement, were: "My personal wishes art that the United States eoatmutee to blockade Vera Cms and all the Huerta porta. If the United States will do this, we art sure to hare tho tontUtutttonUat army m Mexico City Is a short time.

The interests of the Huerta govern* ment in the United States were taken; over by the Spanish embassy when. Charge Algara asked for his passports and left Washington for Canada. Ambassador Hiana received the offer of good offlcee from the three peace envoys Saturday night, after the offerhad been accepted on the part of the- United- States by President Wilson- It was cabled at once to the Spanish, minister at Mexico City and by himt presented to President Huerta. The South American diplomas areready to proceed with their plan, nointimation of the nature of which R& yet has been given*. It has been generally understood here, however, that, the peace envoys expect to deal directly with the situation created by tho resentment of the United States government against the Tampico incident and other offenses against its honor and dignity, hoping to bring abouc a* peaceful settlement. Wilson Hopes for Peace. Administration officials "here appeared to be much gratified at the prospect of having the proposals of the great South American republics listened to by Gen. Huerta. President Wilson, hopeful, though not confident that war may be" averted through the efforts of Argentina,. Brazil and Chile, conferred with Secretary Garrison, aproving orders for the Joint Jurisdiction of the army and navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity. Vera Crux Under Wartlal Law. Vera Cruz—Rear-Admiral Frank P. Fletcher Sunday placed the city of Vera Cruz under martial law, ending: the quibbling with Mexican officials over the form of government. Under this proclamation it is expected that more Mexican officials will agree to return to work. Robert Diaz, the mayor, has opened his office, and schools have been re-opened. The hope that General Huerta will permit the Americans now remaining In Mexico City and other interior places to leave Mexico has been given up. The train which was sent out at 6:80 o'clock Sunday night to meet a train expected from Merico City carrying refugees, returned late at night and Ensign Lowry, in command, •reported that there was no trainfrom Mexico City at the break in the railroad. Lowry also reported that the fed*- erals, who have been operating therailroad, had more than 1,000 peons at work, tearing up the rails and throwing them into the water and! burning the ties. The peons and Mexican federals are apparently working in the direction of Mexico-, City, destroying the railroad. Bulletins were posted at the consulate and in other conspicuous places.

While dinng at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful {roung lady. - She thanks him for his servce and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton ts ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton •he is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United fitates. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He eaves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He det& ese a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans i"n the Interests of- th- e - Spaniifa rds. Holton is seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling into a Spanish ambush. He learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at San Juan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army .and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on July 8. Holton escapes and arrives in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away. After frantic signaling he is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the intentions of the Spanish fleet and witnesses the destruction and capture of the enemy's vessels. Holton learns that Shafter has received a message from President McKlnley declaring that the war was instituted for the sole purpose of freeing Cuba. He learns that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans Is to be held that night to plot against the American army. He gives Miss La Tossa the president's message. He spies on the meeting And hears Cesnola attempt to inflame the Cubans against the Americans. Miss La Tossa denounces Cesnola and reads McKlnley*! message. CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. T am an American who was set to watch you, a Spanish spy, who, In disguise of a loyal Cuban leader, has been leading your country to the edge of destruction. "Wait, gentlemen, allow me to finish!" Holton cried, as the Cubans, pressing closer, began to mutter. "I can prove to you, and I can do it right now, that this man, Cesnola, was the man who led General Castillo into that ambush at Matamoras, a month ago. I can prove to you that it was this man who conducted Garcia into a trap at Marlel last year. Only be quiet and be patient, I received all you should wish to know concerning him from Washington by the last dispatch-boat. His dossier is very complete. He is a spyl I will prove it. The mercurial men in front of Holton turned from him to Cesnola with frowning faces. The rapid shuttling of events had bewildered them. They knew not what to do. Mlsa &A Tossa, who had Stood by Holtob throughout, clinging to his sleeve as though to protect him from her countrymen, now raised her head to speak when, suddenly, Cesnola lifted something to his lips, and a whistle resounded above the confusion. Silently more than one-half of those present disengaged themselves from the crowd of officers, and the next instant Holton, Miss La Tossa, and perhaps thirty of the Cubans, were surrunded by a ring of scowling men with revolvers leveled ominously. Not a word was spoken. Then from Cesnola there came laughter. "Men," he cried, "it was understood that a fusillade of shots here would be the signal for the attack on the Americans. la thirty second* that fusillade will be heard, and the bullets will go where yon are standing. Those who wish, to engage in the attack upon the Americans will step out of that Croup, join our circle, and present their revolvers as we now present them." ^ For a moment there was silence. Cesnola took out his watch. One Cuban left Holton's side and Joined the circle, two followed him, then three, then six. Finally Holton and the girr stood alone. Cesnola put his watch in hie feoeket and advanced to the conpJe. He beoa± oned to two men, "Take her away from tWe man, He must stand atone,* *e said ' - ,„..

There £o. mfctajsmt' <ss> ttttjptfloat <e| nola, and neither was there any possibility of misunderstanding the hold which the spy had gained over these men. Holton, pale but determined, sought to disengage the girl's hands, while the men dragged gently at her arms. At this juncture a stern voice arose above the confusion. "Men, put up your weapons. What is this?" General Garcia, accompanied by several of his staff, broke through the group of Cubans and stopped near the little knot about Holton and the girl. "Garcia 1" A cheer arose, but the general stilled it with his hand. "Men," he said, "I have been a witness of your deliberations. I can assure you that your fusillade will be unnecessary, because it will not be heeded. Tour plot, I beg to assure you, has failed, Senor Cesnola." He beckoned two of his staff, who advanced and placed their hands upon the spy's Bhoulders. He was trembling now, and words failed his parched tongue. The general waved his hand imperiously. "You gentlemen will return to your commands. Every one of you. Mr. Holton, you will go back to your camp—I am glad to have been of service to you. Miss La Tossa will return to her estate—and remain there. As for you"—he faced Cesnola—" I shall deal with you tomorrow. .Take him to my headquarters and let him be closely confined." Several soldiers stepped forward and hastily bound the spy's arms. Miss La Tossa ran up and kissed the general on the cheek. He patted her shoulder with paternal affection. Then, calling two of his men, he directed them to escort the girl through the secret trail to her father's estate. When Holton awoke Garcia had left the tent, but he soon returned, and with a smile asked his guest how he had slept. Holton thanked him, and assured him his slumber had been sound. As they talked thus an officer appeared, and, saluting, addressed Garcia formally. "The prisoner has no complaint to make of your decision, but asks your leniency in one respect." "In what respect?" asked the general. "He asks that he may be shot instead of hanged." Garcia reflected a moment Then he made a little gesture. "Very well," he decided at length. The officer saluted and walked hastily away. "Who was the prisoner?" asked Holton. "Jose Cesnola," was the reply. Hardly had he spoken when the whiplike report of several rifles broke the silence of this beautiful sunlit morning. Garcia' lowered his head. Holton looked vacantly into space. And so, he thought, has passed the waiter of the New Willard. Holton's return to the American trenches was signalized by an honor that brought adequate reward, with interest, for all that he had gone through. This was a dispatch for him from the secretary of tire navy announcing his advancement ten numbers for meritorious service at Tampa, and containing also Information that congress had voted him the congressional medal of honor for gallantry in notifying the North Atlantic squadron of the intentions of Cervera's squadron. An event of the next day was the return of Hobson from Santiago, in company with six sailors who had been captured with him. Holton pressed forward and Joined in the cheers, of the regulars as this quietfaced young man rode through their ranks on the way to Biboney after an imprisonment of more than five week*. He had performed a deed, of signal gallantry, a deed which will live as long as the annals of the American navy live, and as the years go will grow only the brighter. The days went otC. It now seemed assured that the surrender was but a matter of short time, _and .Helton spent the period m enjoying a wellearned rest." At length, on July U, General Torsi and ha* staff rode ©at to 0an Juan to where General Shafter and General Ham and their t * a r awaited him tm- 4e* the " marked the demeanor of all concerned. After a long discussion General Toral and his officers turned and rode toward the city, and the American generals returned to their lines. The surrender of Santiago was assured. The men were jubilant, but many were beginning to succumb to the physical effects of their life in the wet trenches. On the 17th of July, General Shafter, his staff, brigade commander, and a goodly body of troops left the trenches and, with bands playing and flags flying, marched up the trail leading into Santiago, where the surrender took place before the two armies. Then the march continued into the city. The Spanish soldiers, some twentytwo thousand men (Holton had underestimated their number), were to be shipped to Spain, and nothing remained to be done but to assume the reins of military government and set things in order. One of the first acts of the Americans was to release political prisoners from confinement, and then as evening fell the lightB were lighted, the bands played in the patio of the palace, the Venus restaurant overflowed with American officers, the streets were crowded with men, women and children. Meanwhile what were the Cubans doing? Many of them had their homes in Santiago and naturally they were anxious to return to them, and had fully expected to do so. Now by official mandate of the Americans they were barred from the gates. Holton knew enough of the fiery temper of these men to realize that Garcia and the other commanding officers must sway great authority over their soldiers if they were to hold them In leash under such a situation as this. He, of course, had no fears that Shafter would be unable to quell an outbreak, but at the same time if one occurred it would involve a complication not to be desired. That the Cubans in the camps of Garcia and Castillo were openly talking of an uprising was known to everyone, and not even Garcia's assurances that he could keep them in hand quieted the fears of the more thoughtful among the officers. Yet there was no inclination to allow them to enter the city, the fear that they would turn loose upon the unarmed Spaniards still being potent In the absence of direct orders, Holton hardly knew what to do. His anxiety as to the outcome of the present predicament he kept to himself, not wishing to fill Washington with vague and perhaps causeless alarms. Late on the morning of the day following the surrender he mounted a horse loaned him by a cavalry officer and set out once more along the Santa Ines highway for the La Tossa estate. Soon he reached the lodge and gate which he had entered some nights before. Up the road he cantered, and at length turned Into the driveway leading to the La Tossa demesne. Two horses were tied to posts in front of Pieced Their Hand* Upon the Spy's 8houldtrs, the veranda, but the house itself was not thrown open to the morning air, the shutters being closed. Something about the atmosphere of the building caused Holton to alight from his horse at a bend in the drive. Throwing the reins about the branch of a tjee, he made his way through the underbrush, until looking through the foliage he could see the front of the house. Here he waited. Why he knew not What had come over him? Something inside was dampening the ardor with which he had set out on this Important Journey* and placing his spirits under a pall-of utterly unreasonable fortboding. Ah Incubus of doubt, almost of dread, settled upon him, and try as he would he could not shake it oft And yet what nonsense! Here in the broad light of this beautiful, scintillating day to feel emotions which might be natural to a eejmolgtr! when alone Tn the dark? He could not understand It at a& But neither could he dissipate tfeospeH. At length, with seddem resolution, ed his horse and rooe boldly up th« driveway. He alighted at the doorstep, tethered his steed alongside the two other ponies, and mounting the steps, rang the bell, the eSiiaoell ed which he could hjar jangling «*»d eUttering throughout the house. Awaiting a reply to his Bummoas for some time, and receiving none, he pulled the bell again, now with irritable energy. Almost on the Instant the door was flung open and Miss La Tossa, still in her hunting suit, and accompanied by Pierre, stood before him. She looked at him with cold, inquiring eyes, and Holton with a gasp stopped short. "•\yhy- why—" His voice failed him. As the girl still regarded him with cold, vacuous eyes, Holton flushed angrily. He drew himself up very stiffly. "I—I beg pardon," he Bald. "I fear I—I came here under some sort of a misunderstanding." A gleam of an expression crossed the girl's face. "Pierre," she remarked to her attendant, who stood rigidly at her side, "this is the gentleman we met near Sevilla, is it not?" Pierre glanced at Holton, his face filled with an expression of savage hatred. "It is, senorita," he replied. "Yes, we met this gentleman at Sevilla, Pierre, and he said several things.. Did he not, Pierre?" "Yes, senorita." "And, Pierre, what did he sayT "He said that the Americans were to remain faithful to their promise, and that Cuba, after Santiago was captured, was to be placed in the control of the Cuban army." "Yes." The Cuban girl had not glanced at Holton, who stood listening, rigid and angry. "Yes, Pierre," she repeated; "and so Santiago was captured by the Americans—and the Cubans. And did -the Americans keep their promise, that sacred promise?" "No, they did not, senorita. They refused to permit the Cubans to enter the city, their own city, to attend the surrender." "Yes, and so, Pierre, when this American officer told us our rights would be observed, he did not say what was true. Did he?" "No, senorita. He lied." As Holton leaped forward with an exclamation, the girl raised her hand. "One moment please. I am now going to speak to you direct You are beneath my contempt. As a spy, I respect all that youjlid, save one thing. As a spy you did your duty. You visited the Spanish lines, you pried into the affairs of our army, and you won the love and the friendship of General Garcia. All these things were your duty. But all this did not satisfy you. No. In addition, you set out to win my love." She burled her face in her hands and a dry sob escaped her. "You tried to win my love—" She glanced up at him with fearless eyes. "And you did win my love. You won it unreservedly. It was yours to take. But now I know that it was all the part of mockery; that the love you pretended to offer was unreal; that it was but part and parcel of the game you were playing." Holton, who had been silent, thinking it better that he should hear all before replying, could stand no more. He raised his hand. "Stop!" he cried with a voice of thunder. "Do you know what you are saying?" "Yes, I do." She leaned on Pierre's arm. "Take me away, Pierre." "One minute, Pierre." Holton's voice was low and tense. "Before you go, Miss La Tossa, I wish to tell you something. Anything I have said to you In the past I stand by. The Americans are going to relinquish this country to the Cubans—but that Is a matter neither here nor there. Your manner Is insulting and unfair, Mist La Tossa. I came here today with gladness in my heart—" "With deceit—with more lies!" she interrupted dramatically. "As a spy, I bow to you. You are very clever." Holton straightened, his face white and drawn. He looked at her for a moment searching her every feature. Something in his expression quieted her, and she pointed her hand at him. "Listen," she said. "Last night my brother went Into Santiago with a letter to you from me. He arrived at your quarters. Then be was seized and thrown out of the city for violating the order of your general that Cubans remain at a distance. Perhaps you* can explain why." „ "I cannot I never received the letter." She shook her head. "All that is very little matter," she continued. "That letter contained what 1 have now said' to yon. And it said this besides: That the enemies of my country are my enemies, and that it Is clear that no greater to Cuba than the United Steles existed." She bowed and tamed away.' * Holton stood for a moment wattling her, and then, without a word, faced aemptry about and walked (e> ward his tSree. _ _ _ _ . flflO SA OOMTIMUBJJJ WOMAN COULD NOT SIT UP Now Doe* Her Own Work.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST Pterson, N. Dakota.—"The ecxema started on my scalp. It finally went on to the back of my neck, then on to my back, arms and chest. It broke out in pimples first and then seemed to run together in some places, making a sore about the size of a dime. At times the itching and burning were BO Intense that It seemed unbearable. The more I scratched it the worse It became, and there would be a slight discharge from it, especially on my scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My hair was falling BO terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding relief. My clothing irritated the eruption on my back. The affected parti were almost a solid scab. "I had been bothered with eczema for about a year and a half. Then I began using the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I used them daily for two months and I was cured." (Signed) Miss Mildred Dennis, Apr. 30, 1913. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book.

Copenhagen, Denmark. — Did you know that the people In New York alone eat one hundred fifty million dozen of eggs every year and that •they cost something like forty-five million dollars? Did you know that an expert has estimated that each year America eats something like one thousand million dollars worth of eggs? How Egga Spoil. When tbefarmer*used to go to town his wife went along with a basket of egg* containing possibly four or six or ten dozen of them. These eggs were delivered to the general country store keeper and Instead of paying for them In cash the merchant gave trade in exchange. The price of eggs was low and when the price was further reduced by translation into sugar or coffee at a high price the results were of no great significance. Egg selling then was in fact a small business. As a small business it was not for a long time developed along scientific lines. The hen laid- only when the weather was good. She laid a fresh egg of course, but it was likely to lie around In dirty nest until time and a summer heat made it a very bad egg to look at and a worse egg to eat. Not all eggs spoiled but so many went bad that scattered through the lot sent in by the farmer they lowered the grade of all so that even the freshest went only as "eggs" because no one knew ,they were "Btrictly fresh." Strictly fresh egga were practically unobtainable as a matter of fact. After the farmer's wife delivered the eggs to the merchant he kept them around a few days or maybe weeks until he had a fairly large Bhlpment. They might be In the cellar and they might be in the back of the store where It was warmer, but at any rate they gained nothing in flavor or quality from his storage. Then he sent them to some merchant in the county teat nearby. This dealer kept them awhile until an accumulation made a shipment possible to the city commission merchant In Milwaukee, Boston 'or Kansas City. They then might be 'told by the commission agent to the retail trade or they might be put in «old storage or they might be shipped to some distant place. But you may Test assured that it was some time be* Ifore the egg laid on the farm found lits way to the breakfast table of the [city consumer. Much time had been consumed, unnecessary expense had jbeen Incurred in going through this alow, unbusinesslike, unscientific system of distribution. But worse than A Pew Danish Eggi. i* fthe delay and expense involved was jtae fact that the egg which started [down the line from the hen as "a strictly fresh" egg had little chance of reaching its destination aa anything t o t a had egg. A Wasteful, Expensive Process. • The whole process is wasteful. Last summer in Missouri literally hundreds 4 f wagon loads of eggs were driven off (into the woods and dumped simply Ibacantt. they had gone bad upon the hand*."ft. those who were not able to -them promptly. Then too the sad damage from breakage Is conand one authority haa estit the handling of eggs by v w l ^ f*ck and ship them is so inyear seventy-five mildollars worth are broken and lost jfj'transportation.

J- • A , • * • pays, kicks again when he finds that the high priced eggs are bad eggs. Contrast this method of handling with the way it is done by the co-operative organizations abroad. Denmark leads in egg marketing as in the marketing of almost every other farm produce. At Fredcrickssund in Denmark, for example, ten thousand farmers own an egg packing establishment. Every farmer gathers every egg from the nest every day. In hot weather he is required to gather the eggs twice a day. At least three times a week he sends in his eggs to one of the collecting points which are located conveniently. Thence they go to the central station. They are good, clean eggs too, for not only have they been promptly gathered and kept In a cool place, but the nests themselves are kept clean and fresh. As the egg Is delivered it is carefully tested; no egg which is bad either in appearance or in substance, passes muster. Every egg bears a stamp indicating who delivered the egg to the association. The farmer who sends in a bad egg is fined. These 10,000 farmers through their manager whom they hired and who Is a highly skilled man, ship most of these eggs directly to the retail dealers in England. The manager, as he himself told u«, absolutely refuses to sell through the London commission men because they demand a percentage which cuts down the profit of the farmer who produces the eggs and raises the price to the city man who eats them. At the moment of shipping he knows Just where there is a demand for eggs and consequently is sure that'the eggs will be promptly accepted and promptly resold. So efficient is this process that within six days after the egg is laid by the hen it may be on the table of the consumer in distant England. During every minute of that six dayB the egg has been so well cared for that It haa had no chance to deteriorate in quality in the slightest degree. Not only does the farmer receive a good price for this egg* but, because the process of distribution is so efficient and inexpensive, the final retail price Is reasonable and the consumer profits as much as the producer. Dutch Eggs. The organization of egg societies has also been taken up by the Dutch farmers, the system adopted being practically the same as that which prevails in Denmark. Local societies are formed and affiliated to a Central Provincial federation, which is responsible for grading, testing, packing, and shipping. The eggs are collected by the local societies and forwarded regularly to the Central Depot. Every member of a local society is furnished with a number, which must be stamped on the eggs before delivery. The eggs are carefully tested, and a member supplying stale eggs is subject to a penalty of one dollar for every egg rejected. • The Association of Co-operative Creameries in Limburg was the first to take up the co-operative export of eggs. The province of Priesland followed. There is a poultry association which works over the whole of Holland, and has eleven provincial branches, but this association does not trade, having been established to protect the interests and develop the industry of poultry farming generally. The Priesland Export Federation was established in 1903, and the total value of the shipments in 1909 was about $100,000. How Irish Eggs Are Sold. A recent activity of the Irish Agricultural Organization society has been the establishment of poultry products association*, patterned entirely after the Danish system already described. This is, of course, about the simplest and easiest form of a co-operative enterprise to establish, as the outlay of invested capital is small, the returns prompt and continuous and the product, at least the eggs, readily standardised. The eggs, in fact are not only stamped, sorted and packed as by the Danes, but the producers are paid for them almost entirely by weight Instead of by number. These co-operative egg companies hare succeeded beyond expectation and the value of the egg exports handled cc-operattrely is eaoot esjaal to 1he dairy exports, although the poultry produce Is of much lass value than dairy produce. . In Germany the eggs are marketed •, r .V • one province of Hanpver there are for example one hundred forty-two co-operative poultry societies. Some of these combine the breeding of poultry or the other forms of co-operation with the selling of eggs. Ninety-eight egg societies, however, are devoted entirely to egg selling and in the year 1910 disposed of 27,500.000 eggs realizing therefrom over $400,000.00 for distribution among their co-operative members. To belong to the society each farmer pays an entrance fee of twenty-five cents; shares in the society cost each $1.25 of which, h o o v e r , only twelve cents is paid down, tiw balance being gradually paid by a distribution of dividends upon the trading Rroflts. The co-operative society at Hanover owns a substantial brick egg house from which 440,000 eggs are sold each year. The collector who is paid 50c for every one thousand eggs collected calls once a week at the farm house of each member of the co-operative egg selling society. The woman who tests, sorts and packs the eggs is paid fifteen cents for every one thousand eggs passing through her hands. The customers are obtained in the first instance through the chamber of agriculture at Hanover, This is a sort of rural chamber of commerce which among other things keeps an up-todate list of customers who are good pay and who are honest dealers. Each week the society ships large consignments to the various cities of the German Empire seldom finding it necessary to export to foreign countries. Experience shows that under thiB German co-operative system of marketing the cash returns upon-each dozen of'' eggs are from three to six cents great- Danish Farm Yard. er than they were when they were sold to the ordinary buyer. On the other hand not a penny has been added to the cost to the consumers, who in the majority of instances get eggs cheaper than they got them before and of better quality. The more economio less wasteful system of marketing makes egg production more profitable to the farmer, leads him to produce more eggs, Increases the supply, and, by the soundest principles of practical business economics, lowers the price to the consumer. Americans Can Co-Operate In Eggs. Nor has the co-operative marketing of eggs been confined to Europe. We have in our own country some excellent institutions which demonstrate that the co-operative procedure which is good for the European hen upon the continent of Europe is good for the American hen upon American soil. One of these is at Dassel, Minn, These are the results in two years: During the first year, the egg selling society handled six thousand dozen eggs, receiving an average of _ five cents a dozen more for their product than was paid for the miscellaneous eggs on the same markets, thus making over $22 per member.v The second year, the association shipped 60,000 dozen eggs with the came success, while the Dassel Produce company (a private concern) shipped 120,000 dozen more in carton box lots. In all, 180,000 dozen eggs were sent from this little town during the year, for which these progressive farmers received nearly $50,000 in cash or $9,000 more than they could have received under the old system, whereas 6nly enough eggs were formerly taken in trade at the village grocery stores to supply the five hundred people living in Dassel. ' Other American Co-Operative Egg Societies. At Hickory, North Carolina, a cooperative egg marketing grew out of and became engrafted upon a cooperative 'creamery business. That the existing co-operative creameries can easily and naturally assume the functions of an egg marketing institution is evidenced by the success which several Minnesota creameries have attained in this line. The co-operative society need not necessarily be a large organisation. The Blue Mounds Egg association of Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, consists of only seven members. The home of one of the members constituted the headquarters of the oonoem. Modest as was this venture it netted the members a very considerable margin above the price which they otherwise would have been able to obtain, Aa the founder .said: I t requires almost no time, the association rums ltaeif.H In fact all that is needed today ft the eonvlation that what has been done elsewhere can ho done in any community. {PolariM r p i c n o N RfDUClNC MO TOP O i l 5,918,098 Gallons Polarine Sold Last Year 1,536,232 Gallons More Than in 1912 The constantly inc r e a s i n g - u s e of POLARINE by thousands of motorists is indisputable evidence of its lubricating; efficiency.

Smaller Hats Are Being Worn, But Style* 8how General Increase In Height—Sketches That Show the Latest Modes. In the new hats there Is always a marked tendency to carry up the trimming very high, either by means of a tuft of feathers, which soar straight up toward the sky like miniature spires and steeples, or else by ribbon or velvet drapery, which takes the form of a lofty wing at the side. Tall bows are cleverly draped and wired to give never a hint of wiring, Lofty Trimmings Season's Small Characterize the Hats In Nice. and these seem inordinately popular as trimimings for first-season hats. All hata still incline to smallness, though they tend to become higher in proportion to their narrowness. Take, for example, the two of the Bketch. No. 1 is of navy tagal, with a round crown closely hugged by an upstanding brim which "spreads" a little ftt the top and base. Ribbed satin in a smart shade of burnt orange is used for the huge bow. Two ends are draped over the outside of the brim, while the two loops, cunningly wired, rise above the central knot. No. 2 is a youthful and becoming model, known along the Riviera as the Casino hat. The shape is seen frequently with a crown of chiffon over malines drawn into the bandeau brim of velvet or satin. Several smart copies have been developed in flowered and plain taffetas, like the one represented. An Alice blue taffeta, delicately flowered with little clusters in dull colorings, is used here for the puffed crown. Taffeta is good for this purpose having sufficient body to stand without drooping. The- bandeau brim 1B of black velvet, narrower in back than In front, and there are long black shaved quills, topped with flat feather medallions, set directly in front as a trimming. It can be made extremely modish in an all-black development of taffeta, and for the evening the chiffon crowns will be found quaintly pretty. BLOSSOMS HAVE FIRM HOLD Alt Sorts of Artificial Flowers Hold Place on the Costume That Is 8trlet!y In Style. RIBBONS OF VJVID COLOR Gorgeous Hues Mark the Adornments Which Fashion Has Decreed to Be the Proper Thing. The new, ribbons are gorgeous in yellow, red, pink to deep mahogany, greenish blues and flesh tones. A teninch- wide satin ribbon with a groundwork of velvet flowers in many rich tones makes a beautiful eafih ribbon. Wide Roman striped ribbons in the gayest combination of colors are used for girdles, with a huge up-and-down bow on the left Bide of the front. Two strips of this ribbon are also stitched together, slightly gathered on one edge and worn ae a tunic. A white gown with girdle and tunic of Roman ribbon is smartly attractive. Gold and silver metal ribbons are used for vests and girdles on evening toilets. Tailored hats are trimmed with narrow belting ribbon of grosgrain and heavy rib designs. Hats are entirely covered with overlapping rowe of this ribbon, cleverly adjusted to the frame. Raised polka dots on satin ribbons are also used for hat bands. Persian rug and tapestry designs are of rich dark effects. Such flowers as tulips, poppies, cornflowers, daisies, asters and the open single Chinese rose give richness to brocaded ribbons. Odd Chinese designs of rich, subdued coloring are effective to give tone to a colorless hat or gown, and when touched up with a little gold or silver such ribbon becomes an oriental beauty. DICTATES OF FASHION. The gown that is shirt waisted in the back has gone out of fashion. Young girls are wearing white velvet hats, the edges bordered with a fluted ruffle of moire ribbon. The use of chiffon taffeta Is becoming more general; it forms the basis of stunning afternoon and evening frocks. Clear, fresh, flowery colors are said to be about to follow^the brillfant futurist effects. They are sweet pea shades. The new soft taffetas are being shown in all colors. They have the appearance of soft satin in the way they drape. & /Embroidery wiTh colored dots is one of the features of novelty underclothes. The colors are not delicate, but strong. Sashes and beltB are a feature of children's dresses. Sashes are quite wide. Belts are of suede and colored and patent leather. The tango nightgown is the newest, and resembleB a chemise and Turkish trousers combined. It is said to be comfortable. At the theater women are adorning their heads with wonderful Egyptian bandeaux, set with amber or Jade and very flexible.

An old law in Carmarthen county, lu Wales, required that every conveyance passing over the turnpike toll roads should be plaiuly marked with the name of the owner so that the perpetrator of any lawlessness could be easily detected. One young farmer known as Stammering Jim was summoned before a magistrate, who demanded why his name did not appear on his two wheeled cart "W-w-whose n-n-name am I to put on?" stammered the defendant "Your own, of course," said the magistrate. "B-b-but it isn't my cart, your worship," says Jim. "Who is the owner, then?" demanded the squire. "T-t-that's the t-t-trouble, sir," said Jim. "The old sh-shafts belong to D-D-David T-T-Thomas, the wh-whwheels b-b-belong to Hugh J-J-Jones, the old axle to W-W-Wllliam B-Bower, the t-t-tab belongs to Joshua M-M-Morgan, the t-t-tail board belongs t-to me.

U. S. SOLDIERS BRING PEACE Orders of Sec. Garrison for Surrender of Arms by Both Sides is Satisfactory to Operators and Strikers. Trinidad, Col.—The fire which burned to death or suffocated 14 women and children in the Ludlow tent colony of the coal mine strikers April 20 was started by the militia or mine guards, or both, according to the verdict brought in Saturday by the coroner's jury which sat in inquiry on the deaths of 26 persons killed in the fire and battle between strikerB and guards and militame". The men who fired the tents with torches, whether soldiers. mine guards or both, were acting under direct orders of Major Patrick J. Hamrook, or Lieutenant K. E. Linderfelt, or both, of the Colorado national guard, according to the verdict. t Some of the witnesses declared tfeat tne soldiers walked among woiB^fi and children who were crawling on the ground and screaming from terro'r, ajd ruthlessly applied torches to the tents. ; Three men Were burned to death early Saturday in a fire which destroyed a rooming house, a saloon and three other buildings at the Oak Creek mining camp in Routt county, on the outskirts of the "trouble zone." The sheriff reports that he was unable to discover any trace of incendiarism and said that, although the miners in the district were not worklag, there was no outbreak nor trouble of any kind. U. 8. Soldiers'Bring Peaee. Peace reigns throughout the territory affected by the strike, which has lasted since September 23. The presence of United States troops in the district has maintained a soothing effect on the hitherto ruffled atmosphere and there is no indication of further turbulence. Under authority of the president, Secretary of War Garrison, at Washington, Saturday issued a proclamation, calling upon all persons in the strike district to surrender all arms and ammunition to the United States army officers. The proclamation of Secretary Garrison elicited the following statement from J. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, at Denver: "The order of Secretary Garrison to disarm both' sides suits the operators perfectly. We told Major Holbrook the day he arrived that we were willing to turn over our arms the minute he said he could control the situation." When shown Secretary Garrison's proclamation, E. L. Doyle, district secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, said: Strikers Anxious to Co-operate. "We understand this order to mean that mine guards, detectives, militia and strikers are to be disarmed and peace maintained by United States troops. This being the case, trouble in the strike zone is at an end, but if the militiamen are to be allowed arms there is sure to be trouble. Secretary Garrison's proclamation it In the most sweeping terms and demands the disarming of not only strikers* but the mine guards. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that the proclamation called on all "not in military service of the United States" to surrender their arms.

MEDIATION WILL CONTINUE Belief in Mexico City Is That Qsnoral Huerta Is Roady to Resign. Cabinet Troubles Show Weakness. Washington—The South American envoys who are acting as mediators in the Mexican troubles let it be known Sunday that General Carranza, chief of the constitutionalists, has refused to suspend operations against President Huerta. It is understood that Carranza is planning to push his army to the south, with' Mexico as the final point of attack. The word from Carranza, it was said, would not stop the plans for mediation. Close associates of Carranza here, say that no mediation between them and Huerta is possible, and that any move on the part of the three mediators to include in their program a scheme for the general adjustment of Mexican affairs will be regarded as being outside the scope of tneir labors. Huerta Is Near End of Reign. Vera Cruz—It is declared in Mexican circles that the dictator's power is on the wane and he is planning to resign. It is rumored that he would have resigned some time ago if it had not been for cabinet troubles. The removal from the Mexican cabinet of Jose Lopes Portillo y Rojas, foreign minister, coupled with reports that there is a growing undercurrent of feeling in Mexico City against the Huerta government, is interpreted here as foreshadowing a change in the situation in the federal capital. Close observers here of the government's situation express the belief that Senor Portlllo's resignation may clear the way eventually for the appointment of a foreign minister, who under the Mexican constitution could succeed General Huerta as president. This would "let Huerta out gracefully" and open the way for Carranza, who has declined te treat with Huerta, to enter into negotiations with his successor and thus facilitate mediation. The effect of the continued rebel successes in the north and the outcome of the pending attack on Tampico may, according to well-informed opinion, bring about a rapid change in Mexico City. GEN.

The old man should be induced to improve his appearance. His sense of pride should be stimulated. Those around him should, without too great a departure from actual truth, tell him how young he looks. An effort should be mads to keep his mind pleasantly employed. The tonic effect of a local happening, which engages the attention of the community, on the aged who are roused to a stronger interest in current affairB is often quite salutary. They thus have something to think about, to talk about. They are taken away from the past and again are in the living present. The aged woman rarely becomes as gloomy and depressed as the old man. She has a place in the activities of the house* hold which can never be a part of a man's life. When through age a man'B occupation is gone, it is difficult for him to adjust himself to tho idleness that follows and to make that leisure a source of happiness rather than of unavailing regret.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his command In the navy at the outset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in theVaet of robbing a beautiful ?roun? lady. She thanks him for his server and gives her name as MIBS La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Garcia's command In the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader In the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. Holton Is seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from fall* ing into a Spanish ambush. He learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at San Juan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on Jul/ 8. Holton escapes and arrives in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away. After frantic signaling he is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the intentions of the Spanish fleet and witnesses the destruction and capture of the enemy's vessels. Holton learns that Shafter has received a message from President McKlnley declaring that the war was instituted for the sole purpose of freeing Cuba. He learns that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans Is to be held that night to plot against the American army. He gives Miss La Tossa the president's message. He spies on the meeting and hears Cesnola attempt to inflame the Cubans against the Americans. Miss La Tossa denounces Cesnola and reads McKlnley's message. Garcia and his soldiers place Cesnola under arrest. Later he is ordered executed. The Spanish forces surrender and Shafter enters Santiago. t,..;.;;.\ •'•''4 • # * - > ' • ' * • " * CHAPTER XVI. i A Frightful Revelation. Holton's ride back to the cliy was the most forlorn he had ever taken. In the flash of a hand he had been lowered from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair. A "beautiful dream had been lived out, and the bitter realities of waking had come. As he sat before his tent thinking,, a man paused in front of him, holding his broad sombrero in his hand. As Holton glanced at him curiously his face lighted with recognition. "Pierre!" he cried, rising. "What do you want?" The Cuban nodded to him gravely. "Can you come with me, Lieutenant Holton? It is very important" Holton, without replying, accompanied the Cuban. The two hurried along until at length the Cuban stopped in front of a long, rambling, one-story building, evidently used at one time as a barracks for the Spanish soldiers. He leaned down and took off his shoe*, motioning Holton to do likewise. Realizing that the situation was rife with importance, the American sat down and complied without a word. Then, rising in his stocking feet, Pierre took from his pocket a key, unlocked the door, and entered, motion- (ing Holton to follow. After they were 4x>th inside, the Cuban closed the door •and looked it, withdrawing the key And placing it In his pocket again. "She has not arrived yet," remarked Pierre. "I am happy. I feared it would be too late." "Too late for what? Who did you expect to And here?" whispered Hoiton, almost irritably. For answer Pierre squeezed his arm - ^md silently pointed out into the night Following the man's finger, Holton saw the form of a woman alighting from a pony. As his eyes strained fee recognised Miss La Tossa. fey her side Was a man and, as his face turned toward the building, Holton gasped and whispered hoarsely -to hit companion: "Oiveme that key I" -The Cuban's band tightened on hie aim like a vise.

"I thought that fellow, Cesnola, was dead," he said tensely. For the man with the girl was none other than that of the omnipresent and apparently immortal waiter of the New Willard. Pierra laughed without mirth. "The man Is a devil!" he replied. "The firing party at his execution was selected by an officer friendly to him. They shot over his head. He pretended death. Thus he escaped. General Garcia was tricked by his own men." Holton nodded. "But what is the meaning of all these Instruments?' he asked. "And why have you brought me here?" The man faced Holton gravely. "This tunnel," he answered, "leads under the heart of Santiago. At short distances it is packed with dynamite. This key will release the spark that sets it off. It is the plan that the city and the American soldiers shall be blown to pieces, after which, the Cuban soldiers now gathered on the secret trail, leading into the town, will rush In and assume control." "And Miss La Tossa?" he asked quaveringly, "Senorita has been selected to press the button. I have brought you here to stop her. To save the city, to save the Americans, to save herself, for when that button is pressed she dies here." Pierre sank on his knees. "Oh, Mr. Holton, save her! She loves you. You love her! Save her. You can, and you alone can." Holton struck the man on the shoulder and his voice was stern. "I will Bave her," he paused. "So help me, Pierre, I will!" The candle was blown out and the two waited in the darkness. "But why," whispered Holton, "has Miss La Tosea volunteered for this work?" "Because," was the reply, "the person who presses that button will never leave this place. It Is intended that it shall be destroyed so that no trace of the mystery will ever be found." Holton's heart grew sick. Undoubtedly the girl, in her blind, patriotic fury, had come forward as a martyr to give her life for the country she loved. At the momenUsthere was the sound of a lock turning and then the door creaked. Holton and Pierre were lying behind some wine-casks. The next instant they knew the girl was in the apartment with them. They heard a match strike. Evidently she had lighted a lantern, for a As Hie Face Turned, Holton Gasped* soft yellow glow filled the place. And now Holton, peering through a crack between two casks, saw her. Holton arose silently and stole to a position directly in front of the switch key. When she returned she found him there with arms folded, 'standing as Immobile as a statue. .

Before Holton's steady, compassionate gaze, the girl's eyes fell. It was as though some message from the American's heart had reached her. At any rate, her voice became more gentle. "You must leave me, Lieutenant Holton," she resumed. "I—I—'* She paused, realizing what it would mean to have Holton leave her to perform her deadly task of shattering the city and its American occupants. Thia thought caused her to reel. Then, as though with the flashing swiftness of lightning, she sprang toward the officer and threw one arm around his neck, the other reaching over and touching the electric button. "Now, Mr. Holton," she cried, "if you move I shall press—" Before Bhe could complete her sentence Holton raised his shoulder ever so slightly and her finger was thus removed at least an Inch out of reach of the little knob. She tried to spring away from him, but Holton held her. "Miss La Tossa," he began, "I came here because I love you—that is my only thought. I love you. I have loved you since I first saw you. I have spoken to you concerning the Americans as a man would speak to the woman he loves, with the whole truth in my heart I have valked, since I saw yon this morning, with scores of high officers, and I can tell you that what I have already said to you Is the whole truth. "Cstba Is certainly and surely to be left to the Cubans. England, France, Germany, Italy—all great countries have been officially assured by the state department that it Is to be. But first, order must be restored here and the wheels of government set going. To that end General Wood 1» to be appointed military governor, and in good time every single American soldier will leave this island. There is no doubt about that. Ah, Miss La Tossa, believe me! For, as God is my judge, I have spoken only the truth. "One moment," as she essayed to speak. "Losing you is a price too great for me to pay—even when it involves saving my countrymen. No, I cannot lose you—and live. I do not wish to live. And so—you have not believed me. Every look, every word of yours tells me you regard me -as a liar. So be it." He moved away from the push-button and folded his arms. "You are now at perfect liberty to press that button. I shall not interfere. I shall stay here and die with you. That is my wish. Life means nothing now for me." A cry of horror broke from the girl. She stood swaying, surveying the two with staring eyes. Her gaze at length fastened upon Holton, standing there, his arms folded, his broad shoulders heaving, his dark, handsome face turned to her with an expression of great tenderness. Something in his eyes, something magnetic, the power of his great love for her, the intensity of his emotions rlvited her gaze to his face. Slowly, in spite of herself, she crept toward him, fascinated. "Ranee! How my arms have ached for you. How my heart has bled for you! Ranee! Come." With a low cry the girl sprang to him. In his powerful arms he caught her. She looked up at him and kissed her. Her hands caressed his face. She drew his head down once more to her lips. And thus in the darkness, with potential death all about, love, the conqueror, triumphed. face was close te torn tread mau, aoo her .hand, reaching <*tf, came in contact with a knife. IVjli she withdrew, and, standing up, 6r«arbllng. she held it toward Holton. "You must get rU of this!" she cried. "Rid of it! Why?" "Because it is Pjerre'i knife." In a flash Holton saw K all. Pierre, coming out had seen the spy waiting for the explosion. Fi;ied with hatred for the man who had led his beloved Ranee Into this situation, he had promptly paid off the score. "Give me the knife." Holton wrapped the thing in his handkerchief, and in good season contrived to place it where it would never be found, which is getting a bit ahead of the story. In the meantime the two wended their way toward headquarters, Holton leading the horse, the girl walking very close to his side. The recent ordeal, coupled with the discovery of the body of Cesnola, had unnerved her, and occasionally a dry sob broke from her lips. Holton decided that, more than any* thing else, she needed lights, good CHAPTER XVI. The Day of Peace. Ten minutes, perhaps, had elapsed when Pierre, who had thoughtfully wandered away down the tunnel, reappeared with a warning "Ahem!" Holton, exalted to the seventh heaven of happiness, glanced at Pierre, and then striding to the Cuban, he seized him by the arm and led him forcibly into the tunnel again, "Now then, Pierre," he laughed, "yon stay here until I call, or I'll set yon down on some of this dynamite and press the button." - So saying, he returned to Miss La Tossa and gave such an account of himself as a young man very much in love with a beautiful young woman may be expected to gh#j. A little later they made their way out of the building. Her pony was still standing where she had hitched it, but Cesnola and his horse were gone. At least, Holton assumed that Cesnola had gone'from the fact that his horse nad departed. As they walked to the girl's pony, though, Holton, with a sudden exclamation, leaned forward. There, alonoet at his feet, lay the body of a man. The girl saw it almost at the same Instant. "Whet is I t r the asked tremulously, v "A aaaf" was the> solemn reply, Holton lighted a matqh and heat over the body. Then he straightened up as theagh he had been struck in 'thefnoe.

So they went to the Venus restaurant, and there, amid all the brilliancy of its military patrons, the blushes returned to the girl's cheeks and the laughter to her lips. After their meal Holton and the girl Bet out for the La Tossa estate, the girl on her pony and Holton on a horse he borrowed from one of the general's aides. When they reached the estate it was nearly midnight. Ranee was delighted to find awaiting her a message from her father in Havana, assuring her that he was well, and that through force of circumstances he would remain In that city until the result of the present campaign was determined, The girl wept over the letter as she handed it to Holton. "Poor, dear father!" she cried, "i trust he is happy—as happy as—as ." Holton crushed her to his breast. As to the war, but little remained. The fleet of Cervera had been wiped out, and thus shorn ef sea powei> there was really little use In resist* ance on land. So It came about that peace was agreed upon by commissioners of the two countries. It was on this day that Holton, with a long leave of absence, and many flattering official papers in his luggage, stood on the deck of a great transatlantic liner, looking down upon the crowd assembled on pier and bulkhead to wave farewell and Godspeed to friends and relatives who were hurrying to the continent to spend the last brilliant days of the waning summer away from the scenes of bloodshed and disease. Close by his side, with her arm tightly locked in his, was a girl so radiant that she attracted the attention of everyone who passed the little group. She had just kissed her father good-by and he was turning to leave the Bhip. "And you, Thomas," he said, "will not be selfish. You will let my daughter come to me on the estate frequently." "As frequently as she wishes," laughed Holton, "when I am doing my two years' sea service." The father laughed and waved goodby. But just before the ship sailed they made out his figure dashing to the end of the bulkhead. "Father!" cried the girl, "what is it?" Senor La Tossa held aloft an era* ning newspaper. "Peace!" he cried. "Peace has declared." "She turned to Holton. "Peace," she smiled. Holton pressed her arm.

A little later counsel and client met outside the court house. "I worked hard for you this morning, Abraham,** said the lawyer, "and the court pays me very little. There is a big wood pile out behind my house and you had better work on it two or three days and pay your part." "Yes, suh," replied Abraham, "but couldn't I pay you in money 'stead o' work?" "Money?
