Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, October 8, 1914 No. 41 Dispatch Contest Closes Friday, October 23 Only a P e w Days In Which to Work forthe beautiful piano —bast Struggle for Capital P r i s e Now at Its Helght,- Many other valuable prizes There is now but a few more days in which the candidates engaged in the popular voting contest have to work for the several prizes offered. The voting comes to an end-Friday, October 23 at three o'clock,. and immediately thereafter the count will be commenced, to see who shall be declared the winner of the splendid Obermeyer piano and the other '•beautiful and useful articles offered to those who are makiug an effort to land the premiums. It is not believed by those who have given the matter careful thought tliafrany particular person has the grand prize cinched at the present time, but there are several in the race who have a good chance to land it if they will only hustle. If you have not yet seen the fine piano offered in this contest go to Nellie Gardner's Millinery store and take a look. Many of our citizens have examined the instrument as to its quality and appearance and there is yet the first one to say that it is not a fine one. It is of a plain rich mahogany, and a prettier piano was never unloaded at Pinckney. Musicians of this section have tested it as to its quality of tone and volume and every one of them says it is fine as silk. There are several young ladies who appear to have the best of the contest but none of them has a sure cinch on being the ultimate owner of the first prize. If one of these contestants who is way down the list should take it in to her head that she was going to win the big premium, she could do so. She would have to do some work to make it, but that was what was expected when the contest opened. Several bunches of seven new subscribers or renewals in groups of seven would put the lowest candidate in the race up among the leaders. For those who .wish to vote without any competitor seeing them, we desire to state that cash with your subscription, telling where the paper is to be sent and to whom the voteB shall be given, can be placed in an envelope and deposited.in the bank. The judges will open these envelopes at the Dispatch office and count the votes Miss Madeline Bowman was in the lead at the last count. Several others are well to the front and are putting forth every effort on the home stretch to win the ooveted prize. Either of these ladies can land* the prize, if they will Jake the time to get out and *olioifc new subscriptions and renewals* Be sore and have yonr friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with ^ach dollar cash purchase.

What Editors Know Many people think editors don't know much. The trouble is, they known a lot of stuff that they dare not tell. They know »who drinks and they known the ladies who deviate from the straight and narrow path of rectitude and the boys who smoke in alleys and dark places and the girls who are out auto riding till the roosters crow for daylight. They know the fellow who can't get trusted for a tobacco sack full of salt. They could ^guess why some fellows are as they are and they can closely guess what they do to make themselves so. They know enough to make one of the red-hottest, rip snorting, high geared, tripleaction chainlighting editions you ever read but they also know it is best for the community and them. selves to let the law take care of humanity's development and publish only such news as will do to read in the house* Editors generally pursue this policy and thereby live longer and get more enjoyment out of life. A gentleman is a man, a man who is clean inside and out side who neither looks up to the rich nor down to the poor; who can win withont bragging; who is considerate to women, and children and old people;who is too brave to He, too generous to cheat, and too sensible to loaf who takes his share of the world's good and lets other people have theirs.—Ex.

Their household goods sold, the $100 auction money, all they have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or Anj?y In the Old Lady's home. Buth are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, this is the fust time I've had a chance to take the wust of it." The old couple bid good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" sends them along by-paUjs to the gate of the Old Ladies' home. Miss Abigail, matron of the Old Ladies' home, hears of th« ill fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladies, and Blossy, who has paid a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken in with his wife. Abe awakens next morning to find that he Is "Old Lady No. 31." The old ladles eve him such a warm welcome that he made to feel at home at once. "Brother Abe" expands under the warm reception of the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in the Old Ladles' hbme. Abe is the center of the community. The semi-annual visit of Bossy's aged lover, Capt. Samuel Darby, Is due. Abe advises her to marry him. For the first time the captain fails to appear. Blossy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, his old captain in the life-saving service, that gossip begins to buss. At the feast in celebration of the anniversary of the Roses' arrival at the home, Abe lauds Blossy in his speech, and Angle is sent from the room. CHAPTER IX. A.Winter Butterfly. "Cap'n Rose," began Aunt Nancy. Brother Abe pricked up his ears at the formal address. "Cap'n Rose," she . repeated, deliberately dwelling on the title. "I never believe ii/callin' a man tew account In front of his wife. It gives him somebody handy ter blame things on tew jest like ole Adam. Naow, look a-here! What I want is ter ask yew jest one question: Whar, whar on 'arth kin we look fer a decent behavin' ole man ef not in a Old Ladies' hum? Would yew—" she exhorted earnestly, pointing her crooked forefinger at him. "Would yew—" Abraham caught his breath. Beads of sweat had appeared on his brow. He broke in huskily: "Wait a minute, Aunt Nancy. Jest tall me what I've been an' done." The ladies glanced at one another, contemptuous, incredulous smllee on their faces, while Aunt Nancy almost wept at his deceltfulness. "Cap'n Rose," Bhe vowed mournfully, "I've lived in this house fer many, many years, an' all the while I been here I never heard tell o' a breath o' scandal ag'in' the place until yew come an' commenced ter kick up yer heels." Lazy Daisy, who had long been an Inmate, also nodded her unwieldy head In confirmation, while a row murmur of assent arose from the others. Abraham could only pass his hand over his brow, uneasily shuffle his maligned heels over the floor and await further developments; for he did not have the slightest conception as to "what they were driving at." ' "Cap'n Rose," the matriarch proceeded, as in the earnestness of her indignation ehe arose, trembling, In her seat and stood with her palsied and shaking hands on the board, "Cap'n Rose, yer conduct with this here Mis' Betsey Ann Blossom has been somethin' reediculousl It's been disgraceful IV Aunt Nancy sat down, Incongruously disreputable in appearance, her pink bow having slipped down over her right ear during the harangue. Over the culprit's countenance light had dawned, but. shame to tell! it was a light not wholly remorseful. Then silent laughter shook the old man's shoulders, and then-—could it be?— there crept about his lips and-eyes a . smile of superbly masculine conceit The sisters were fighting over him. Wouldn't mother be amused when he should tell her what all this fuss was about "Now, kindly, short-sighted Miss Abigail determined that it was time tor the matron's voice to be heard. "Of course, Brother Abe, we understand perfectly that yew never stopped ter take Inter consideration haow suaeeptible some folk* is made." , There being plain evidence from 4 Ape's blank expression that he did not eadcrstand the meaning of the word,, Baby Lee hastened to explain. "Bteeeptible is the same as flightyheaded. Blossy allers was a fool over anything that wore breeches." Abe pushed his chair back from the table and crossed his legs comfortably, for hint all the chill had gone out of the air. Suppose that, there was something in this? An old, old devil of vanity came back to the aged husbandw heart He-recalled that he had ^ been somewhat of a beau before he .- learned *he Jer of loving Angy. More than 'one- Long Island lassie had *"• thrown hereeK at-his head. Of course Blossy would "get over" this; and. knew that his heart was hers as a*4t hadiwen the day he purchased his wedding-beaver; but Abe could not refrain from a chuckle of complacent amusement as he stroked hie beard. His very evident hardness of heart so horrified the old ladies that they all began to attack him at once. "Seems ter me I'd have the decency ter, show some shame 1" grimly avowed Sarah Jane. Abe could not help it. He sputtered. Even Miss Abigail's, "Yew were a stranger an' we took yew in" did not sober him. "Ef any one o' my husbands had acted the way you've acted, Abe Rose," began Mrs, Homan. "Poor leetle Angy," broke In the gentle Mise Ellie pityingly. "She must 'a' lost six pounds." Abraham's mobile face clouded over. "Angy?" he faltered. "Yew don't mean that Angy—" Silence again fell on the group, while every glance was fastened on Abraham. "See here," he flashed his faded blue eye. "Angy's got more sense than that!" No one answered, but there was a significant shrugging of shoulders and lifting of eyebrows. Abraham was tsfi-/ (^^^ KI^U •v-'. No One Moved to See Them Off. distressed and concerned enough now. Rising from his place he besought the sisters: "Yew don't think Angy's feelin's have been hurt—dew yew, gals?" Their faces softened, their figures relaxed, the tide of feeling changed in Abraham's favor. Miss Ellie spoke very softly: "Yew know that even 'the Lord thy God Is a jealous God.' " Abraham grasped the back of hie chair for support, his figure growing limp with astonishment. "Mother, jealous of me?" he whispered to himself, the memory of all the years and all the great happenings of all the years coming back to him. "Mother jealous of me?" He remembered how he had once been tormented by jealousy in the long, the ever-so-long ago, and of a sudden he hastened into the hall and went half-running up the stairs, He took hold of the latch of his bedroom door. It did not open. The door was locked. "Angy!" he called, a fear of he knew not what gripping at hie heart "Angy!" he repeated as she did not answer. The little old wife had locked herself in out of very shame of the rare tears which had been brought to the surface by the sisters' cruel treatment of Abraham. When she heard his call she hastened to the blue wash-basin and began hurriedly to dab her eyes. He would be alarmed If he saw the. traces of her weeping. Whatever had happened to him, for his eake she must face it valiantly. He called again. Again she did not answer, knowing that her voice would be full of the telltale tears. Abe waited. He heard the tramp of feet passing out of the dining room into the halt He heard Blossy emerge from her room at the end of the passage and go tripping down the stairs. The time to Angy, guiltily bathing her face, was sfcort; the time to her anxious husband unaccountably long. The sound of wheels driving up to the front door came to Abe's ears. Still Angy made him no response. • ' * • "Angy!" he'raised his voice la piteous pleading. What mattered if the' slaters gathered in (he lower hall heard him? What mattered if the chance guest who had just arrived heard him also? He had bis peace to make with his wife and he would make it "Angy!" She flung the door open hastily. The signs of the tears had not been obliterated, and her face was drawn and old. Straightway she put her hand on his arm and searched, his face inquiringly. "What did the gale say ter yew?" she whispered. "Abe, yew made a mistake when yew picked out Bl—" "Poor leetle mother!" he interrupted. "Poor leetle mother t" a world of remorseful pity in bis tone. "So yew been jealous of yer ole man?" Angeline, astonished and Indignant withdrew her hand sharply, demanding to know if he had lost his senses; but the blinded old gentleman slipped his arm around her and, bending, brushed his lips against her cheek. "Thar, thar," he murmured soothingly, "I didn't mean no harm. I can't help it ef all the gals git stuck on me!" Before Angy could make any reply, Blossy called to the couple softly but insistently from the foot of the stairs; and Angy, wrenching herself free, hastened down the steps, for once In her life glad to get away from Abe. He lost no time in following. No matter where Angy went, he would follow until all was well between Jber and him again. But what was this? At the landing, Angy halted and so did Abe, for in the center of the sisters stood Blossy with her Sunday bonnet perched on her silver- gold hair and her white India shawl over her shoulders, and beside Blossy stood Capt. Samuel Darby with a countenance exceedingly radiant his hand clasped fast in that of the aged beauty. "Oh, hurry, Sister Angy and Brother Abe!" called Blossy. "We were waiting for you, and I've got some news for all my friends." She waited smilingly for them to join the others; then with a gesture which included every member of the household, she proceeded: "The pink tea, I want you all to know, had a double significance, and first, of course, it was to celebrate the anniversary of Brother Abe's sojourn with us; but next it wae my farewell to the Home." Here Blossy gurgled and §ave the man at her right so coy a glance that Samuel's face flamed red and he hung his head lower to one side than usual, like a little boy that had been caught stealing apples. "I left the tea a trifle early— you must forgive me, Brother Abe, but I heard the train-whistle." Abe stood beside Angeline, rooted In astonishment, while Blossy continued to addrees him directly. "You gave Samuel so many good recommendations, dear brother, that when the time approached for his June visit, I felt that I simply could not let him miss it as he did in December. Last year, on the day you entered, he was here through no desire of mine. Today he is here at my request My friends," again she Included the entire home in her glance, "we'll come back a little later to say good-by. Now, we're on the way to the minister's." The pair, Samuel tongue-tied and bewildered by the joy of his finally won success, moved toward the door. On the threshold of the home Blossy turned and waved farewell to the companions of her widowhood, while Samuel bowed In a dazed fashion, his face still red as it was blissful. Then quickly the two passed out upon the porch. No one moved to see them off. Abe looked everywhere yet nowhere at all. Not a word was spoken even when the carriage was heard rolling down the drive; but the sound of the wheels seemed to arouse Angy from her stupor of amazement; and presently Abraham became conscious of a touch—a touch sympathetic, tender and true—a touch all-understanding— the touch of Angy's hand within his own. ,w Disaster of a Century Ago. Several lives were lost and much property destroyed by an explosion of gunpowder which occurred at Woolwich 100 years ago. Woolwich la the most ancient military and naval arsenal in England. In its dockyard menof- war were built as long ago as the beginning of the sixteenth century. The royal arsenal contains a factory for the making of shells and ear* tridges and a mammoth foundry for casting armor and ordnance, In addition to vast magaslnee of great guns, powder and other warlike stores. The Royal Military academy, where officers are trained for the British army, also is a part of the institution. Dorinf- ehe centuries of its existence the arsenal has been the scene of many disastrous fires and fatal explosions. One of the most recent of the explosions occurred in 1908 and resulted In the death or serious injury of more than thirty persona.

"The late Cy Warman, novelist and author of the immortal 'Sweet Marie,' " said a Chicago editor, "always insisted that poetry ought to follow the tame rules aa prose. He wouldn't stand for poetical Inversions —the adjective after the noun, the object before the verb, and so forth. 'But what difference do these inversions make, Cy?' asked a reporter once. 'All the difference In the world,' Cy Warner answered. 'Did yon never hear of the minister's wife whose son eloped from college?

Passengers' on a steamer to Port land were surprised when about fifteen ntUes from the Maine port to hear voices and music coming apparently from the sir. When they got into the harbor they found that on a boat tied up at the wharf there was a wireless apparatus, to which, was attached a wtredesr telephone attachment on whioh the operator had been CHAPTER X. The Turn of thc Tide. From time Immemorial the history of the popular hero has ever been the same. To king and patriot, to the favorite girl at school and the small boy who Is leader of the "gang," to politician, to preacher, to actor and author, comes first worship then eclipse. The great Napoleon did not escape this common fate; and the public idol who wae kissed only yesterday for his gallant deeds is scorned today for having permitted the kissing. Oh, caprice of the human heart! Oh, cry of the race for the unaccustomed! From that first anniversary of his entrance into the home, Abraham felt his popularity decrease—in fact more than decrease. He saw the weathervane go square about, and where he had known for three hundred and sixty-five days the gentle, balmy feel of the southwest zephyr, he found himself standing of a sudden in a cold, bleak northeast wind. The change bewildered the old man, and reacted on his disposition. As he had blossomed in the sunshine, so noW he began to droop in the shade. Feeling that he was suspected and criticized, he began to grow suspicious and fault-finding himself. His old notion that he had no right-to take a woman's place in the institution came back to his brain, and he would brood over it for hours at a time, sitting out on the porph with his pipe and Angy. The old wife grieved to think that father was growing old and beginning to show his years. She made him some tansy tea, but neither her persuasions nor those of the whole household could induce him to take it. He had never liked "doctoring" anyway, although he had submitted to it more or lees during the past year in unconeclous subservience to his desire to increase his popularity; but now he fancied that where once he had been served as a king by all these female attendants, he was simply being "pestered" as a punishment for his past behavior with Blossy. Ah, with its surprising ending that had been a humiliating affair; and he felt too that he would be long In forgiving Mrs. Darby for not having confided to him her actual intentions. Now he was afraid to be decently courteous to one of the sisters for fear that they might accuse him of light dalliance again; and he scarcely ever addressed the new member who came to take BlosBy's little room, for he had been cut to the quick by her look of astonishment when she was told that he belonged there. In hie mental ferment the old man began to nag at Angy. Sad though it is to confess of a hero honestly loved, Abraham had nagged a little all his married life when things went wrong. And Angeline, fretted and nervous, herself worried almost sick over father's condition, was guilty once in a while out of the depths of her anxiety of nagging back again. So do we hurt those whom we love best as we would and could hurt no other.

Petrograd.—I had the good fortune to ride with a Cossack detachment throughout the Manchurlau war and one of my old Cossack friends who was brought back to Petrograd, wounded, from Lemberg, has given me some account of the engagements which took place near the Galician capital. The Cossacks were often three days In the saddle and were the first Russians to enter Lemberg. "Our turn came," said my Cossack friend, ''when the Austrlans began to give way to our infantry. Then we were let loose on the-enemy's broken rear and soon converted <he retreat into a rout. We heard them cry out in terror, 'Die Kozaken! Die Kozaken!' Swept Like Straw. "The Hungarian cavalry tried to stop us, but we swept them aside like straw. They had red breeches and beautiful Jackets, like those worn by our Cossack women. They also had fine horses and were good riders, but did not know in the least how to use their spears. When we, the Don Cossacks, Btick men with our spears we throw into the blow not only our own weight, but the whole weight of our horses. "The Austrlans fled in panic, throwing aw$y their rifles, abandoning their cannons and machine guns and transport wagons full of hay and provisions. The same morning the Cossacks rode into the conquered town. All the shops were closed and more than half the inhabitants had fled. Those who remained cheered the Russian vanguard. Welcomed by People. "Triumphal arches made from the boughs of trees were erected across the streets. Russian flags floated from the windows and many of the townspeople greeted us in good Russian. Nobody fired on us. We were received as friends and brothers and everybody waB very kind. "Before noon General Ruzsky rode down the principal street, preceded by a military band and a standard bearer carrying the Russian flag. We, Don Cossacks, had our trumpeters with us when we entered, a,nd it was as if we entered Kiev or Holy Moscow itself. The church bells rang and the Pravostavy popes came out of their churches in vestments and blessed us as we passed. Little girls dressed in white strewed flowers in the path of General Ruzsky, who rode, surrounded by his officers, and the wise men of the town met him in their robes of office and made him an address of welcome." Campaign Is Bloody. We have heard little of the prolonged and terrible struggle in Poland and Galicla. Nevertheless that campaign has been as bloody as that on the Meuse, and the Austrian, though beaten, has struggled gallantly. The Russians greet the Austrlans in a friendly way when prisoners arrive. It is not easy to arrive at a correct estimate of the number of Austrian prisoners now interned in various parts of Russia. The Bourse Gazette, one of the leading evening newspapers of Petrograd, sets the figure at 300,000. Among them is the former Austrian commandant of Lemberg. The prison' ers include^ an extraordinary number of-Slavs. Prisoners a Puzzle. "What shall we do with our Austrian prisoners V Is the cry of the moment. The best Austrian troops, those from the Tyrol, have no quarrel with the Slavs and know nothing about them, while the troops from eastern Austria are half Slav themselves, or else are easy-going and not serious. This want of seriousness constitutes a great moral defect in the Austro- Hungarian army. It explains the readiness of the Austrlans to retreat or surrender. The following communication, has been received from the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian forces In the field: Fortress Is Bombarded. "The enemy has approached Oasowets from the north and has begun the bombardment of the fortress. I n Galicla we hare occupied Debica, on the railway 65 miles east of Cracow, and between Bzessow and Tarnow. "At Coloujok w e defeated a detach* m«nt of the enemy and captured his artillery and many prisoners. Continuing the pursuit, we entered Hungary." * Meets B i * Obstacle*. The Russian army In Bast Prussia under General Rennenkampff has been meeting terrible obstacles for the last three weeks. One of the greatest of thate is the fortified camp in the socalled Masurian lake district of German Poland. There are innumerable small lakes and t h e marshy ground between them Is oorered with foreeta Checked fey. BIQ German Fore*. . The area is occupied by a German amy of from «»,«& to 100,000 man, which menaces toward the north any movement in the direction of Koenigaberg and toward the south all Russian -attempts to reach Thorn and Graudenz. For this reason General Rennenkampff 's army, after its flrBt unchecked advance, could not proceed and it even had to retire for safety until a largo force could be brought up to stop the activities from the Mazurian lake camp, by which the progress of the Russians in East Prussia was checked. Changed Times in Russia. The case of Bourteseff, the Russian revolutionist, is a sign of the changed times in Russia and his-return indicates the state of mind of many men like him. He told me that he had returned not to make peace with the internal reactionary opposition, because he could not forget the hundreds of thousands of people who are imprisoned or exiled, but to give an impulse to the national effort in the direction of a new era in the country's foreign policy. Until now the Russian government had supported Prussian militarism and had especially oppressed Russian Poland. Instead of protecting the Poles, who are the most civilized of the Slavs, it had persecuted them. Bourteseff and others hope to arouse such support and enthusiasm among the Poles that the government cannot withdrew later in its promise to form a united, self-governing Poland. AUSTRIANS IN PANIC AT FALL OF LEMBERG By CAMILLO CIANFARRA. Rome. — Returning after a two months' stop with the Austrian general staff, Arnoldo Fraccaroli, the Corrier de la Sera's correspondent, thus described Lemberg's fall: "Up to August 16 Lemberg lived In happy Ignorance of the events on the Galician frontier. The Austrlans still believed the Russian army sadly disorganized and led by drunken, epileptic generals. "The censor had taken all precaution against the truth leaking out. One thing only was overlooked, and that is what happened one afternoon while the population promenaded in the parks and thoroughfares. Lemberg was suddenly invaded by thousands of refugees arriving from every direction by foot, rail and on horseback. They related the wildest stories of the Cossacks' doingB. "The flood of refugees continued eight days, bringing along waves of despair, fear and misery until the population had swelled from 240,000 to 350,000. First Greet Panic "Simultaneously the wounded began arriving. Schools, churches, offices and theaters were transformed into hospitals. On August 26 the city was housing 40,000 wounded. "On the same day the Cossacks appeared three miles from the city, causing the first great panic. The railroad depots were besieged and a general exodus began. Now the truth was fully known, and news from the front increased the panic. "Simultaneously the city was being* treated to the weirdest spectacles. Pickets passed hourly, escorting to be hanged or sh& groups of men, women*, children and priests whom the Austrlans considered friendly to the Russians. "Between the 26th and 28th of August the Russian artillery succeeded in taking a position without being detected. Suddenly the Russian guns opened a tempest of fire on the Eleventh army corps, which had come within range, and with the help of the Russian Infantry and machine guns was annihilated. "The Third corps, dispatched to replace them, met with the same fate. Then the Twelfth was rushed out to be shot, sustaining enormous losses. "Of 4,000 men forming the Twentyseventh Trieste regiment Only 600 survived. Of the Seventeenth Lublan regiment only 800 survived; not an officer was left Many Die In Panic "On the morning of August 81 a train ef one hundred cars was made ready by the authorities to send out the first refugees, but as soon as the depot gates'were opened the panic* stricken crowd rushed to the train. Wild scenes followed. Children were crushed, women were trodden down. The train left with people strapped to every support "On the afternoon of August 81 a 86- hour armistice was arranged, and 00,- 000 Austrian and Russian dead were buried. Nearly double that number of wounded were removed. "On the morning' of September 8 a generar alarm was sounded. It was the end. Every Austrian soldier fled without taking his arms or ammunition/* '"; :" -7- Annual Crop of Oats. The world's annual crop of oatB, including the total of the 17 countries Which are the chief producers, is 3,- 426,000,000 bushels a year. The United States raised 1,123,000,000 bushels, which places her In a position to export large quantities without feeliug the loss. A very large part of the corn crop is raiBed In the United States. Of the total annual crop of 2,776,000,000 bushels raised by nine countries the United States raises 2,373,000,000 bushels. It Is surprising to find that Hungary produced upward of 200,000,001) bushels and Italy 100,000,000 bUHhels. The world's crop of barley grown in 17 countries was last year 1,225,000,000 bushels, of which only 173,000,000 was raiBed in America.

A Pinckney correspondent to the Howell Tidings says that village is one of the most healthful in the state as nearly everyone lives to more than three score years and ten. Well, we have always heard that the simple, quiet life was conducive^ to longevity, and at Pinckney the accent can be placed on the "quiet."—South Lyon Herald. The uncalled for comment on our little village by our brother editor, Pierce of South Lyon, reminds us of that old adage that "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." A new kind of farm activity has come into being. It bids fair to push the big times of threshing meetings into discard, It is the picnic of filling the silo. The silo cutter and its attendants takes several men and already we see how our neighborly farmers will in a few years be trading work in silo filling, while the farm wives will each conspire to build dinners that will last pleasantly in the memories of the silo men. Such filling is going to fit into that spell time of the farmer that comes after harvest and afore corn shuckin. When the Democrats of Livingston county nominated Ruth Johnson Lemen, daughter of E. £ . Johnson, druggist, of Howell, as their candidate for county school commissioner, they certainly knew what they were doing. Mrs. Lemen has had nine years of experience in teaching, first as principal of the rural normal schools of Wisconsin and then as a teacher in ^the grades of the Howell public schools. She perfectly understands every phase of teaching and would make a most excellent commissioner. Mrs. Lemen is a graduate of the Howell pnblio schools and also of the Normal at Ypsilanti. She has always proven herself to be a very faithful working woman and she would surely fill the position with best interests at heart for the patrons of the rural schools. 1?f !ff Wff F W W Wf?F !f f W W# !ff Wf WW WW W rTf W W W TTf^ • GROCERIES -at y L E S S THAN I WHOL-ESALE ££ ££ P R I C E S JUST A LITTLE LONGER T h e Wholesale Dealers Offer to T f k e My Entire ^ Stock at My Present Prices ^ | S t o r e Will Be Closed Por the Winter Soon | Smith's G r o c e r y % £ Lakeland, Mich. /I SAW We Sell All Kinds of Good Saws SAWS This Is a Real Store For Tools Only a picture can adequately dttciibe the dainty finery of the summer girl, Some special gown, worn on some special occaaiou.

Ave., Olney, Ill.~"When my trouble first began I noticed little pimples coming on my face. They Itched and burned so badly that I had to scratch them and that only made them worse. About a week latex my face was BO badly covered with pimples and blackheads that I was ashamed. My complexion was ruined. The pimples would sometimes bleed and fester. "I bought a box of complexion cream and used it but without effect. One day I heard of Guticura Soap and Ointment and I decided to give them a trial. So I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment washed my face with the Soap and applied the Ointment and in two weeks I wae completely ^ well." (Signed) Chas. E. McGinn, May 5, 1914.

LIGHT BOOZE. Do You brink Itf ; A minister's wife had quite a tus- «Ie with coffee and her experience is Interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while, on night duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a hot cup of coffee about that time. I could keep awake better. "After three of four years of coffee drinking, I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time 1 was subject to frequent bilious attacks, sometimes* so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that It had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit "I began taking Postum, and for a - few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lac# of the coffee drag, : but I liked the taste of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage an right "Finally I began to feel clearer- - headed and had steadier nerves.

The more recreation we have the less vice there will be in the country, and I regard the'football match on a Saturday afternoon as one of the best possible devices to keep men in the purity of the open air. I believe that the increase of sport is the biggest factor in the increase of temperance, and go so far as to say if you take the Church of England away from London you remove the greatest sporting Influence. Some people object to the professional footballer, but I see no reason why a man of that class who gives entertainment to the public should not be paid for bis services just in the same way'as a muelclan or a parson. If we waat the best we always have to pay for it.—Rev, A. J. Waidron, in T. P.'s Weekly, London. Helping the Lawyer. When a certain North Carolina jurist made his first appearance at the bar as a young lawyer he was given charge by the state solicitor of the prosecution of a man who was accused of some misdemeanor. Although there was practically no evidence against the man, the youthful attorney did his best, but wae astonished when the jury brought in a verdict of "guilty." After t\e trial one of the jurors tapped the young lawyer on the shoulder. "We didn't think the man was guilty," he explained, "but at the same time didn't like te discourage a young lawyer by acquitting him." Dolls Have Character. The dolls from France and Germany are large-headed, round-faced, vacanteyed creatures that have made "dolllike prettiness" the synonym for complete insipidity. The American dolls are In many cases not pretty at all. They are what dealers call "character dolls." They have expression. They remind one of the little girl In the story who teld an overcrltical grownup that ehe might not be p-r-e-t-t-y, but she could s-p-e-1-1. Few of them are beautiful, but all of them are interesting. And they are very American indeed. With the failure of French and German dollies to travel overseas these very American persons must take their places. Olden Punctuations. In the early days of their craft compositors had no need to worry about quotation marks. Punctuation was then of the simplest, consisting only of an oblique line and a full stop. The first book to Introduce the colon and notes of interrogation and exclamation appears to have been a "Lactantlus," printed at a monastery near Rome in 1465. Title pages were also unknown in those early days. The books started straight off with "Here beginneth" an author's or publisher's name being prefixed. This causes much difficulty in attributing early work to the proper sources. w PRESIDENT OF FRANCE VISITS BATTLE FRONT Allies Encouraged By Ruler Who is Permitted to Join Gen. J off re GREAT BATTLE ON AISNE IS STILL WITHOUT RESULT French Claim That Enveloping Move ment Continues and That Crown Prince Is Forced to Retreat. Ocean Is Holland's Defense. Holland's safety in time of war lies in her ability to flood great tracts of land. William .of Orange flooded the country in 1S74, and by so doing drove out the Spanish invaders. The same policy was adopted on the occasion of ths French invasion of 1675. The movement of a lever at Amsterdam i t sufficient to open every dyke and damin Holland simultaneously, it Is said, to put under water within the* space of a few hours the whole country from Naarden on the Zuyder Zee, by Utrecht, to Geertruidenbtrg, at the mouth of the Mouse. Possible Good In Accident A young man who, having run up a lot of bills which were considerably beyond his means to pay. was much pestered by collectors. He, however, had the disposition of a true lfioaw» ber and did not allow himself to be put out by their attentions. One day a collector oame to his house, and In mounting the4ey>froit steps slipped and broke his arm. The young spendthrift who was looking out of the window at the time, remarked calmly: *'Welt I hope tlut will se alesson to them to keep away from me for a while." HAD NO TIME FOR THE WAR London—The twenty-second day of fighting along the Aisne seems to have found little advantage for either side, although both claim to be satisfied with results. The allies resumed t h | movement to envelope von Kluck, stormed the German trenches north of Soissons and accelerated the retreat of Crown Prince Frederick William. Reserved, cautious and generalized, the government reports contain nevertheless, a new note of satisfaction. The thrust to destroy von Kluck's supply lines and rolL his army back on von Buelow's is again under headway north and east of Arras, where the fighting, tremendously violent is indecisive. There are reports that flying columns have circled toward the Belgian frontier. Fury Slackens In East Probably the most important success of the twenty-second day of the battle was gained near Soissons by breaking the west end of the Germans' long fortified and almost impregnable position reaching from the Aisne to the Sulppe. Hitherto, the German have frustrated all such attacks. . Eastward to the Argonne ridge the combatants, both behind unbreakable fortifications, did not risk frontal attacks. Battle fury slackened. There, allies and Germans await the decision at the west. But in the forts of the Argonne, misfortune runs at the heel of the German crown prince. His efforts to cooperate with the Bavarians and von Heerlgen in assaulting che barrier fortresses were defeated, he was energetically pursued as he^fled northward. His repulse necessarily weakens the whole German line. Guerrlla warfare continues in Lorraine and the Vosgee, where Germans and French, holding strong positions, thrust at each other in day and night raids, neither side' able to progress, despite small but most sanguinary engagements. Thus fighting, whleh would compel attention at another time, is lost sight of in the vast and dramatic combat at the west. President Visits Front The president of France and the cabinet council have been permitted to visit General Joffre's headquarters because the situation, for the first time, is favorable to the presence of the government near the battle front The Germans continue their persistent attack on the outer defenses of Antwerp, according to London dispatches. , Apparently they are engaged in a desperate attempt to capture the port and they are in a desperate hurry to do i t They are pounding away with Austrian mortars at the fogs of Waelhem and Wavre-St. Catherine and are flinging their infantry forward in frantic efforts to break through. So far they have accomplished little and have Buffered terrific losses. As far as can be learned, the only men they have available are marines and the Iandwehr, although it is reported that fresh troops pf the line are being brought inv Reports of the number killed vary considerably but the figure many times repeated is 8,000. Heretofore, fortresses have not stood long before the big German siege guns which have been brought up. But Antwerp is in a differentcategory, as, in addition to being stronger than any fortress yet attacked, there is a considerable space in which the field army can operate against the besieging forces. The Germans have also been active in two,widely separated parts of Belgium. They visited Toumai Saturday and announced that they were an advance guard of 1,000 men proceeding to Lille; while Sunday night and Monday morning fighting was going as far to the east near Lanaeken, northwest of Maastricht One report-said Lanae*4- ken was on lire, but another declared it was a nearby village that was burning. A number of fugitives have arrived at Maastricht as well at some Belgian soldiers, who had been interned. Good Reason Why Mr. Staokrlder Knew Nothing About the Conflict In Europe. "One of my hens laid an egg this morning with a big 'W' on it as plain aB could be!" stated Farmer Gapp. "Well, that don't hurt it for ma> ketin', does it?" returned neighbor Stackrider. "No, but that *W' is a sign of war. and what 1 don't understand is how the hen knew." "Knew what—the alphabet?" "No, about the war." "What warr "Good gracious, Bzry! Haven't you heard about the terrible war in Burope?"

This year taxes to be paid by the several counties, will amount to $6,129,228 However, the tax this year will be $676,919.96 higher than in 1912. The decrease this year is .dne, of course, to some extent, to the fact that there was no session of the legislature.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursflay, October 18, 1914 No. 42 LOOK THIS UP 'raternal Insurance Is Liable to *et a "Knockout" In November ' * . , • • • ' - ' . I At the general election on the third of November there is to be Toted upon an amendment to the $fcate constitution affecting frat- ^^•rnal eocieties and if by any ^i^Dhance it should receive a majority of the votes cast the Immediate ireanlt will be the exclusion of ipracticaUy every .society of that nature from the state. In their efforts to defeat the measure the "350,000 members of fraternal eocieties. in the state have joined hands and are appealing to their friends to aid them at the polls <by voting "no." In many counties organizations of Maccabees, Woodman, Yeomen, Gleaners, Loyal Guards, Foresters and others, is being perfected and a systematic campaign against the Amendment is to be made. State Insurance Commissioner Winshlp has already given it as his opinion that the adoption of the amendment will exclude the societies from the state and that no society in the future will be permited to pay anything except death losses—no sick benefits, on old age disability claims, no hospital benefits, etc. In->ddition to all the fraternal eocieties in the state which are fighting the proposed amendment other organizations, such as the Michigan Commerical Travellers' JUsool&tfon, the Federation of Labor; the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen have passed resolutions instructing all* their members to aid in defeating the amendment.

Greenwald, head of the Service Department of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, suggests the following precautions to auto owners: When you are through with your car for the season, jack it up, remove the tires from the rims, and wash them well with soap and water. Be sure to remove all traces of oil or grease. The rims too, should be sandpapered to remove all traces of rust accumula^ don, and painted with liquid graphite. Inner tubes should be deflated, and placodnn a box, or wrapped in a clean cloth or paper, and laid flat m a dark place with no weight resting on them. If they are left in the tubes, they should be partly inflated. . While the car is not in use is an opportune time to have necessary repairs made on tires. It is the repair shops slack season and-asyou are in no hurry for the return of the tires, they can devote all the time necessary for your job and do it right. Examine tires well and* have aJJL cuts in the tread extending through to the fabric, repaired. By following these suggestions, you can add many miles to the life of your ties.

Their household foods sold, the )100 auction money, all hey have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or Angy in the Old Lady's home. Both are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, this Is the fust time I ve had a chance to take-the wust of it." The old couple bid good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" •ends them along by-paths to the gate of the Old Ladles' home. Miss Abigail, matron of the Old Ladles' home, hears/ of the ill .fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladies, and Blossy. who has paid a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken In with his wife. he la "Old Lady No. 31." The old ladies Abe awakens next morning to find that Eve him such a warm welcome that he made to feel at home at once. "Brother Abe" expands under the warm reception of the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in \he Old Ladies* home. Abe is the center of the community. The semi-annual visit of Blossy's aged lover, Capt. Samuel Darby, is due. Abe advises her to marry him. For the first time the captain fails to appear. Blossy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, his old captain in the life-saving service, that gossip beginB to buzz. Aunt Nancy takes Abe to task for flirting with Blossy. He is much concerned when he learns that Angy is Jealous. Blossy drives away with Darby to be married. CHAPTER X—Continued. "I told yer I never could stand it here amongst all these dratted womenfolks," Abe would declare. "It's all your fault that I didn't go to the poorhouse in peace." "I notice yew didn't raise no objections until yew'd lived here a year," Angy would retort; but ignoring this remark, he would go on: "It's 'Brother Abe' this an' 'Brother Abe' that, as ef I had thirty wives a-pesterln' me instid of one. I can't kill a fly but It's 'Brother Abe, lemme bury him fer yew.' Do yer all think I be a baby?" demanded the old gentleman with glaring eye. "I guest I'm able ter do somethln' fer myself onde In a while. I hain't so old as some folks might think," he continued with superb inconsistence. "I be a mere child compared with that sir plagued Nancy Smith." It took very little to exhaust Angy's ability for this style of repartee, and she would rejoin with tender but mistaken efforts to soothe and comfort him: "Thar, thar, father 1 Don't git excited now. Seems ter me ye 're a leetle bit feverish. Ef only yew'd take this here tansy tea." Abraham would give one exasperated glance at the tin cup and mutter into the depths of his beard: "Tansy tea an' old women! Old women an' tansy teat Tansy tea be darned!" Abe failed perceptibly during the summer, grew feebler as the autumn winds blew in, and by November he took to his bed and the physician of the home, a little whiffet of a pompous Idiot, was called to attend him. The doctor, determined at the start to make a severe case of the old man's affliction in order that he might have the greater glory in the end, be it good or bad, looked very grave over Abraham's tongue and pulse, prescribed medicine for every half hour, and laid ^ especial stress upon the necessity of keeping the patient in bed. "Humbug!" growled the secretly terrified invalid, and in an excess of Bravado took hie black silk necktie from where It hung on the bedpost and tied it in a bow-knot around the collar Of bit pink-striped nightshirt, so that ike would be in proper shape to receive any of the sisters. Then he lay very etlll, hii *yes closed, as they came tip. toeing in. and out Their tongues were SB gentle tiptoe too, although not so gentle but that he could hear then advising: One, a "good, stiff mustard " one, an "onion poultice;" an- "Spanish blister;" while Aunt Nancy stopped short of nothing leas than "old-fashioned bleeding.* Abe toy Tory still and wondered if they intent to kill him. He was probably going to die anyhow, so why torment Isk. Only when he was dead, be feoped that they would think more ktetfly of him. And so surrounded yet alone, the old man fougM his secret until mercifully he went to with them for the "great haven" over tnere; and the whisper reaching the sickroom, Abe's fever would rise, while he could never lift his lashes except to see the specter of helpless old age on one side of the bed and death upon the other. "What's the matter with me?" he demanded of the doctor, as one who would say: "Pooh! pooh! You're a humbug! What do you mean by keeping me in bed?" Yet the old man was trembling with that inner fear. The physician, a feminine kind of a bearded creature himself, took Abe's hand in his—an engaging trick he had with the old ladies. "Now, my friend, do not distress yourself. Of course, you are a very sick man; I cannot deceive you as to that; but during my professional career, I have seen some remarkable cases of recovery and—" "But what's the matter with me?" broke in Abe, by this time fairly white with fear. The doctor had assured him that all his organs were eound, so he could only conclude that he must have one of those unusual diseases such as Miss Abigail was reading about in the paper yesterday. Maybe, although his legs were so thin today, he was on the verge of an attack of elephantiasis! "What's the matter with me?" he repeated, his eyes growing wilder and wilder. What the doctor really replied would be difficult to tell; but out of the confusion of his technicalities Abe caught the words, "nerves" and "hysteria." "Mother, yew hear that?" he cried. "I got narvous hysterics. I told yer somethln' would happen ter me a-comin' to this here place. All them old woman's diseases is ketchin'. Why on 'arth didn't yer let me go to the poorhouse?" He fell back-on the pillow and drew the bedclothes up to his ears, while Angy followed the doctor out into the hall to receive, as Abe supposed, a more detailed description of his malady. He felt too weak, however, to question Angy when ehe returned, and stubbornly kept his eyes closed until he heard Mrs. Homan tiptoe into the room to announce in hushed tones that Blossy and Samuel Darby were below, and Samuel wanted to know if he don't yew know that I'm a .doomed man? I got the 'narcous hysterics.'" "Yew got the pip! "retorted Captain Darby contemptuously, and trotting quickly around to the Bide" of the bed, he seized Abe by the shoulders and began to drag him out upon the floor, crying again, "Git up!" The sick man could account for this remarkable behavior In no way except by concluding that his old captain had, gone into senile dementia—oh, cruel, cruel afflictions that life brings to old folks when life Is almost done! Well, thought Abe, he would rather be sick and die in bis right mind than go crazy. He began to whimper, whereupon Samuel threw him back upon His pillows in disgust. "Cryin'! Oh, I swan, he's cryin'!" Darby gave a short lairgh pregnant with scorn. "Abe Rose, dew yew know what alls yew?" he demanded, fixing his eyes fiercely upon the Invalid. "Dew yew'know what'U happen tew yew if yew don't git out o' this bed an' this here house? Either yer beard'll fall out an* yew'11 dwindle deown ter the size o' a baby or yew'll turn Into a downright old woman—Aunt Abraham!— won't that sound nice? Or 'Em." yew'll die or yew'll go crazy. Git out er bed I" The patient shook his head and sank back, closing his eyes, more exhausted than ever. And he himself had heard might see the invalid. i Angy warn this man in a whisper not Then Abe threw off the covers In a/ to "rile him went m.

"Sam'l Darby?" he asked, the strength coming back Into his voice. "A man! Nary a woman ner a doctor! Yes—yes, show him up!" Angy nodded in responee to Mrs. Homan's glance of Inquiry; for had not the doctor told her that it would not hasten the end to humor the patient in any reasonable whim? And she also consented to withdraw when Abe informed her that he wished to be left alone with his visitor, as it was so long since he had been face to face with a man "an' no petticoat a-hangin' 'round the corner." "Naow, bev keerful. Cap'n Darby," the little mother-wife cautioned at the door, "be very keerful. Don't stay tew long an' don't rile him up, fer he's dretful excited. Abe is." CHAPTER XI. Mental Treatment Little Samuel Darby paused at the foot of the bed and stared At Abe without saying a word, while Abe fixed bis dim, distressed eyes on his visitor with a dumb appeal for assistance. Samuel looked a very different man from the oM bachelor who used, to come a-wooing every six months at the Homo. Either marriage had brought him a new growth of hair, or else Blossy bad selected a new wig for him—a modest cloee, Iron-gray which fitted his poll to perfection. Marriage or Blossy had also overcome in Samuel that tendency* to hang his hand "to starb/dj upl" Remorselessly on the rejuvenated Darby: "Hain't a-goln' ter git up, bah? Yew old mollycoddle! Yew babyl Old Lady 31! Kitty calf! But I hain't a-blamin' yew; ef I had lived In this here place a year an' a half, I'd he stark, starin' madl Leetle tootsiewootsiet Git up!" Abe had opened his eyes and was once more staring at the other, his mind slowly coming to the light of the realisation that Samuel might be more sane than himself. "That's what I told Angy all along," he ventured. "1 told her, I says, says | I, 'Humbug! Foolishness! Ye're amakin' a reg'lar baby of me. Why.' I says, 'what's the difference between me an' these here women-folks except that I wear a beard an' smoke a pipe?" "Then why don't yew git up*' demanded the inexorable Samuel. "Git up an' fool 'em; or, gosh all hemlock! they'll be measurln'yew fer yer coffin next week. When I come inter the hall, what dew yew think these here sisters o'yourn was a-discussln'? They was a-arguin' the p'int as to whether they'd bury yew in a shroud or yer Sunday suit." Abraham put one foot out of bed. Samuel took hold of his arm and with this assistance the old man managed to get up entirely and stand, though shaking as if with the palsy, upon the floor. "Feel pooty good, don't yew?" demanded Samuel, but with less severity. "A leetle soft, a leetle soft," muttered the other. "Gimme my cane. Thar, ef one o' them women comes in the door I'll—I'll—" Abraham raised his stick and shook it at the innocent air. "Whar's my pipe? Mis' Homan, she went an' hid it last week." After some searching, Samuel found the pipe in Abe's hatbox underneath the old man's beaver, and produced from his own pocket a package of tobacco, whereupon the two sat down for a quiet smoke, Samuel chuckling to himself every now and again, Abe modestly seeking from time to time to cover his bare legs with the skirt of his pink-striped nlghtrobe, not daring to reach for a blanket lest Samuel should call him names again. With the very first puff of his pipe, the light had come back Into the Invalid's eyes; with the second, the ashen hue completely left his cheek; and when he had pulled the tenth time on the pipe, Abe was ready to laugh at the sisters, the whole world, and even himself? "Hy-guy, but it's splendid to feel like a man ag'ln!" The witch of Hawthorne's story never gazed more fondly at her "Feathertop" than Samuel now gazed at Abraham pulling away on his pipe; but he determined that Abraham's fate should not be as poor "Feathertop's." Abe must remain a man. "Naow look a-here, Abe," he began after a while, laying his hand on the other's , knee, "dew yew knaow that yew come put' nigh git tin' swamped in the big breakers? Ef I hadn't come along an' throwed out the life-line, yew—" * "Sam'l," interrupted the new Abraham, not without a touch of asperity, "whar yew been these six months? A-leavln' me ter die of apron strings an' doctors! Of course I didn't 'spect nuthin' o' yew when yew was Jlst a bachelor, an' we'd sort o' lost sight er each other fer many a year, but arter yew got connected with the Hum by marriage sorter—" "Connected with the Hum by marriage!" broke in Samuel with a snort of Indignant protest "Me!"

M " * * . •;•• - . . V ^ . Port Wayne, Indiana, October 12.— A matter of great interest to life insurance policyholders in Michigan is the fact that the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company of this city, one of the large companies with a great many Michigan policyholders, has taken the progressive step of electing five Michigan men to its board of directors. They are: r'V. * > . • * . - • • • • ' " • . Hon. Edwin Denby. Edwin Denby of the well-known law firm of Chamberlain, May, Denby & WebBter of Detroit, and also a director in the Denby Motor Truck company and National Bank of Commerce and the treasurer of the Hupp Motor Car company. "* Albert E. Sleeper, formerly treasurer of state and a banker at Bad Axe and other cities In the Thumb District He Is also a director in the Merchants National bank of Detroit. Henry E. Morton, president of the Morton Manufacturing company and president of the State Savings bank at Muskegon Heights, Michigan. Henry C. Loveridge, a prominent attorney at Coldwater. ^ Burt S. Stratton, a prominent life insurance agent and citizen at Lansing. There are five Michigan life insurance companies and at the end of last year their combined insurance in force in the, state amounted to less than 1 per cent of the life insurance carried by the sixty-seven companies from out of the state which wrote insurance in Michigan. So tar as we know, the Lincoln Life of Fort Wayne is the first outside company to elect Michigan directors to its board and thus lend the assurance to its 7,600 Michigan policyholders that their interests are being looked after on the board of directors by big business men of their pwn state. This move on the part of the Lincoln Life ought to assure Michigan people that their interests are receiving careful attention and that the company merits the entire confidence of Michigan people. The Lincoln Life has over twentyone millions of life Insurance in force and about eight millions of it Is on the lives of Michigan citizens; It Is writing new business in Michigan at the rate of two million dollars a year and has About 40 per cent of its entire assets invested in Michigan farm loans and municipal bonds. In other words the life insurance premiums that have been paid on these Michigan policies has been reinvested in the state to help build up the resources of the Michigan people. This is more than any other outside company does and it should result in a greatly increased Michigan business for this splendid company. The Lincoln Life is seeking to add to Its already splendid agency force in Michigan and should lil^e to receive applications from Michigan men or women'who seek employment or desire to better their present positions. There Is no line of work open to the person of average education and ability, without capital or influence, in which the opportunities for accomplishing immediate financial returns, building up a substantial income and attaining to a position of importance and prominence In the business affairs of a xommunity, are equal to the" opportunities offered by a life insurance agency. The only capital required is clean character, a clear head, honesty of purpose, tact, enthusiasm and a big surplus of indomitable energy and grim determination to succeed. Endowed with these prerequisites the man or woman who takes up life insurance, work need have no fear of failure, and if he or she will carefully study the business, making the best possible use of time and opportunities, there are no chances on profits, as success is certain. Adv. MOTHERS AND DAME FASHION Women Molds Her Daughter In Foundation of Style and Taste From Earliest Years. Take the average girl, carefully note the manner in which she is dressed and <then you have an advertisement —good or bad—for her mother. In some subtle manner a mother molds her daughter from babyhood in the style of her clothing, and it is a very important molding, too. For if clothes do not make the man they do go a long way i.n giving a true impression of a woman. Every new dress that a mother buys for her little girl is a small stone in the foundation of style and taste that will guide her daughter in future years. I was taking tea with a well-known public woman recently, and she called my attention to two young business girls who were sitting at another table in the restaurant.

London—German troops are advancing swiftly toward Ostend, hoping to capture the city by a sudden attack and makes prisoners of King Albert and the Belgian government officials, according to a dispatch from The Hague. Belgian, British and French armies took positions Sunday on a new battle line southeast of Ostend for the defense of that city and a resumption of operations against the German lines of communicati6n in Belgium. Strong British reinforcements permitted" the Belgian army to pass Ghent intact to effect a consolidation with the French and British.. This new stand of the allies is intended to develop into a strong offensive, Paris dispatches say, with a view toward striking at Brussels, so menace the German communication" through Belgium as to make it necessary for the invaders to abandon France and once for all remove the danger of another advance toward Paris. Large numbers of troops are said to have been sent by General Joffre to reinforce the allies already before Ostend, and operations on a large scale are expected in that region soon. Battle Line Lengthened. Twenty thousand Germans marching westward met a temporary check at Quatrecht, near Wetteren, east of Ghent, at the hands of French and British troops. The French communication issued Sunday afternoon deals only with the battle, or series of battles, which has been in progress for four weeks from east to west in France with an ever extending line, which now reaches northward from the elbow at Noyon to and across the Belgian border at Armentieres. The statement says that the allies have held their positions everywhere and that German cavalry, which was attempting to envelop the allies' left wing and had seized certain points of passage on the river Lyst to the east of Aire, 20 miles from the coast, was defeated and retired to the northeast into the ArmentlereB district. Cavalry on Large Scale. At the same time, the Germans delivered a vigorous attack on the right bank of the Ancre river, between Arras and the Oise, without making any pro* greas. This indicates that the battle in Picardy, comprising the department of Somme and part of Oise, Pas-de-Calals and Aisne, in which the cavalry is participating on a scale not seen in previous modern wars, extends over a very considerable area. Here are many miles of open country where horsemen can maneuver with advantage. Between the River Oise and Rheims, and particularly in the region northwest of Soissons, where the British forces are entrenched, further progress has been made. It thus seems probable thai the Germans have abandoned some of their strongly entrenched positions In this neighbor* hoodv It is reported that sanitary reasons have compelled this, as the trenches in which the troops have been living for weeks have become breeding places for disease. The Germans have resumed their night attacks between Craonne and Rheims, which, according to French accounts, have been repulsed. From Rheims to the Meuse, nothing of importance has occurred .of late, but in the Apremont district of the Woevre, to the east of S t MihieL the Germans made violent attacks during the night of October 9 and the following day. Apremont was taken by the Germans, but was retaken by the French and remains in their hands. The Germans apparently are determined to maintain as far as possible their positions here, where they have pierced the line of fortifications between Verdun and Toui along the river Meuse. Should they be successful against the lilies elsewhere, this doubtless would be the route by which they would en* deevor to enter the heart of France." Sign Causes a Near Riot.

Miner I )eniocrat Candidate Kor County CHerk To the voters of the South part of the County, your attention is again called to the fact that election d a y is close at hand, when you by your vote will be called upon again to elect officers to fill the several offices of the County for the next two years. Clark H. Miner, the present County Clerk and Democratic nominee for reelection h a s made a record for himself which entitles him to the confidence a n d respect of his constituants. And should t h e voters of t h e County desire to continue t h e same kind of service, no mistake will be made in re-electing M r . Miner, t o this important position for another term. T h e duties of the office have been carefully looked after and not one word of criticism has ever been heard against his ability. 'Jhanking t h e voters for the past favors conferred upon him and soliciting their support in the coming election with a promise that if elected he will endeavor to give t h e orifice his personal a t - tention a n d will t r y to improve the record heretofore made. , Taxpayers |of This County Will be Interested in Direct Information as Cost of trouble of Two* Years Ago Livingston county taxpayers are interested in the outcome of the election this fall as they have not been interested in m a n y years. All of them have felt t h e burden of recent unusual state taxes b u t it mav not be known to m a n v of them that t h e appropriations approved b y Govenor Ferris brought to Livingston county an increased tax of $14,132.87. T h e entire State t a x for t h e Ferris administration was $14,718- 748.89, almost three million dollars in excess of the state t a x permitted b y the Osborn administration. • If this was all t h e loss our county h a s been required to meet through t h e unfortunate election results of two years ago we would be very fortunate. B u t we have had to share in t h e loss t o every line of business that h a s come t o our state and to our country as a whole through t h e changing of t h e tariff and through t h e direct assaults on Michigan interests t h a t have been made a t Washington. T h e Republicans of this, county were divided t w o years ago a n d their division, of course, assisted in bringing the trouble for o u r state and nation. B u t they a r e united now a n d their votes for Governor Osborn a n d for our candidate for congress and the county candidates will indicate their protests against burdensome state taxes a n d against all t h e losses they have be#n compelled to endure through democratic direction and mismanagement. John A. Hagman C a n d i d a t e For County Clerk H e is a young m a n that the Re- * publican part\ elected for their candidate for that office, teeling t h a t he was capable and worthy of such a n honor a; the hands of the voters of this county. T w o years ago .he made a sacrifice run against «a man who was seeking his second term, t h a t it might p u t him in line for the coming election, as the present occupant of t h a t office t only asked for support for two terms, a n d is now asking for a third,. Therefore he feels justified in appealing to all parties for their support a t the coming election, and if elected will endeavor to - perform the duties 'of the office in such a maimer that you will be pleased with the support given him.

They come by millions, and the water takes on a slaty tint from their presence beneath the surface. This phenomenon is awaited intently by thousands of fishermen, and when the cry of "Here they are!" goes up Cfiere is M much excitement as Is occasioned by the whaler's shout of "Thar she blows!"

God roe Is cast out as bait, and the average catch Is about 4,000 each casting of the net jWhen first drawn from their element the sardines glitter like Jewels* reflecting many colors, but they soon lose their brilliant tints. Every village along the coast hgs its cannery, and, as these are mostly individual enterprises, there is much competition.

It Is well known that under the Moslem religon divorce is made remarkably easy and that there is no need for any legal or religious formalities—a man being able, so to speak, to divorce his wife by word of mouth, This facility often gives rise to unpleasant re suits, as when a man in a burst of anger will divorce his wife and then bitterly repent of his rashness. One such incident happened recently in upper Egypt It is related that a fellah appealed to bis omdeh to help him to regain his wife, against whom be had pronounced the fatal words. The omdeh told him to traverse the streets of his village for two hours braying like an ass and to eat chopped straw as an ass does, when he would be absolved from his; divorce, without needing to go before the cadi. The fellah carried out the. order to the letter and then returned to his wife, fully convinced that he had done ample penance for his Impetuosity,—Boston Transcript Built Upon Cotton. When the Leasowe lighthouse, England, was built on the sandy Wlrral shore the builders were puzzled by the lack of a suitable foundation for the masonry tower. An ingenious way out of the difficulty was effected. In the vicinity an Incoming ship, laden with a cargo of cotton, had gone ashore and had become a total wreck. The cotton was useless for its intended purpose, so the bales were salvaged and dumped Into the sand at the point where the lighthouse was to be erected. The fleecy mass settled into the sand and under compression became as solid as a rock, while its permanency was assured by its complete submersion. The stability of this strange foundation may be gathered from the fact that the tower erected thereon stood and shed its welcome light regularly every night for about a century and a half, being extinguished only a few years ago, as it was no longer required,—Argonaut Corsica and Do Paoli. While the island of Corsica derives Its fame from being the birthplace of Napoleon, the name of Pasquale de Paoil Is more dear to the natives, for It was under the leadership of this patriot, in 1755, that they escaped from the yoke of the Genoese. For fourteen years he wisely administered the affairs of the Island. In 1769 France bought the island from Genoa and landed an army of 22,000, which Paoll met with n few thousand Corsicans and fought until his army was reduced to 537 men; yet he cut his way through and escaped to England, where he remained twenty years. At the outbreak of the revolution In France he returned to his native land and became military governor, but he could not get on With his old enemy, so he returned to England, where he died in 1S07. Many Uses For Old Leather. Old leather material, which finds its way into the waste pile, is extremely valuable and returns to our homes in many other shapes. It Is soaked in water to remove the dirt, all the nails and threads are picked out and the leather is reduced to a thick pulp, from which wall papers, screens, etc.. are made. The finer the original quality of leather the better it takes the bronze and old gold of the designs which make these hangings things of beauty. Bookbinders and framemakeri also know the value of this pulp, and carriage builders press it into sheets.

Some have asserted that it belongs to the beetles. of which it is an "aberrant type," others that it is connected with the grasshoppers. Even about its very name there has been endless discussion Some have thought the name earwig is the result of the creature's supposed habit of getting into the ears, while others are equally certain that it is derived from the original name, which they say was earwing, from the fact that the wing when spread resembles the human car. At all events, one thing Is certain—the earwig as we know it now is a survival of an early type of which almost every other member has become extinct SPECIALS ^ B S S S S S S S S S a a ^ ^ 3P O IES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 14 35c pkg.

International New* Service. Pari*.—The stream of wounded from the battlefields of the Marne and the Ourcq is being directed past Paris to hospitals In the rear, for the obvious reason that until it is quite certain that Paris will not have to defend herself against attack it would be unwise to fill the ample hospital accommodation of the capital. In the American hospital only 56 of those 500 beds are occupied. I came across a soldier of the Sixth dragoons, suffering from a bullet wound in the hip that he got at Complegne. The night before the battle his squadron was on outpost duty. Some firing had been heard, and he rode ahead of the squadron to see what was happening, believing that French cavalry were engaged with the Germans close at hand. He cantered along a moonlit road until suddenly in the shadow of some trees he found himself in the midst of a group of German horsemen. He had his carbine across the neck of his horse and fired point blank into the breast of a German trooper with whose horse his own came into collision. The German was as quick with his weapon, and both men fell to the ground, the German dead, the British with a bullet through his hip. An instants later the squadron came clattering up and cut the German detachment, about thirty strong, to pieces. Has 8trong Prejudice. The British dragoon has seen things which have given him a strong prejudice against the enemy. In a Belgian village he saw the yet warm corpse of peasant woman who had been struck down by a uhlan's lance. The uhlans were riding out of the village as the British rode In, and the man who killed the woman did so because she could not or would not give him some bread. Once on patrol duty he came across a stationary motor car. In It were three French officers and a lady, all dead, all sitting in the position in which they were when they died. A volley had been poured Into the car. The lady's hand hung carelessly over the side of the car, and the fingers showed marks of rings which had been roughly stripped off. Our cavalrymen were, he added, a good deal pestered by the enemy's aeroplanes during the retreat from Mons. .Whenever a German aeroplane appeared over a bivouac the order was given to change camp, and weary men and horses had to move further on. One man told in a voice from which the bitterness had not yet passed of a breakfast lost in this way. The meal almost assumed the proportions of a feast Two geese and three hens he and his mates had prepared for themselves, and just when they were ready to take them from the fire the enemy appeared in force, and the breakfast had not only to be abandoned, but to be abandoned to the Germans. Tureos Best Patients. Of all the patients the best, say the doctors, are the Tureos. There it no limit to the pain they can endure. Yesterday afternoon the parade of two standards captured from the enemy was accepted by Parisians as a good augury for the success of their arms. The number of French priests serving with the colors is a good deal larger than has been imagined, and it Is stated authoritatively today that as many at 19,000 priests are enrolled as combatants. The departure of the cardinal archbishop of Malines from the Gare St. Lazare gave rise last night to a picturesque scene. The archbishop was fully robed, and stood on the platform surrounded by a large crowd of priests and others who hare sympathised keenly with the Belgians in their struggle. As the train left the station be stood in the carriage bowing to those on the platform—an aseetio figure of the Richelieu type, a mail of dominant personality, with a charm of pose and expression that made one realize how keenly his work Is appreciated by his countrymen In Belgium. I Lest of Horses Appalling. The Wastage of horses during the present war has admittedly been appalling. At the St. Lasare terminus today I met a general with some 200 me* of the Ninth French dragoons. They, had no horses left and had come to pick up softs at present waiting in Hrla. They were then taking an coward-bound train as far as Chatoan Thierry. Their purpose was to harass the retreat of the Germans, who at this point in the firing line said to be> utterly exhausted. tared helpless after three sleepless nights. Even the sentries are asleep, ami every man capable of doing so IMS crept into a bars of other shelter to get some rest. * v The heroism displayed by the Britis* troops is the robject of admiring v noismsritt In the Frsnch taper*-The Liberte gives some striking examples. On one occasion the Germans in considerable force tried to enter a town occupied by British troops. One Scottish detachment was entrusted with the task of checking the advancing Germans till the English troops succeeded in retiring in good order. They took up a position in the first house in the town. The Germans directed a violent fire upon the houses, which soon threatened to bury the defenders under their ruins. The German attack slackened, and the Scots realized that the enemy was preparing to take up a still better position. During the lull a Scottish sergeant who occupied a grocery, discovered on the shelves several packets of chocolate, and turning to his men told them, "I'll give a bar of chocolate* to every man who kills a German." When the attack was resumed the sergeant gravely proceeded to distribute the promised rewards. Show Great Bravery. The day after the same * regiment was occupying a trench, swept by violent rifle and artillery fire, when two privates noticed that a Frenchman attached to the battalion as interpreter occupied the most exposed spot in the trench. One private said: "The Frenchman is badly placed, let'B widen his trench" and during a minute, paying no attention to, the hail or bullets and shrapnel, the privates deepened the trench, and with the same calm resumed their places. The correspondent adds that the bravery of the English is truly admirable. Although they had suffered heavily, the English never flinched an instant when informed that one of their best units had just been annihilated. They remained silent for a few Beconds and then answered, with wonderful determination: "Never mind. One day we will have the best of it" Every newspaper Is anxious to pay tribute to British bravery and prowess. After their trying retreat from Belgium the French are delighted that the British should participate in the more. congenial task of pursuing the Germans. "We are happy," says the Journal des Debats, "that, after having Nat one time occupied the thankless position at Mons and Cambral, our allies have the satisfaction of being with the advancing wing of our forces on the side where most trophleB have been won." Still They Came On. A Coldstream guardsman, writing of the fighting near the forest of Complegne, compares the sight of the Germans issuing from the trees to a cup-final crowd at the Crystal palace. "You couldn't miss them. Our bullets plowed into them, but still they came for us. I was well intrenched and my rifle got so hot I could hardly hold it. I was wondering if I should have enough bullets - when a pal shouted, 'Up, guards, and at 'em/ The next second he was rolled' over with a natty knock on the shoulder. He jumped up and hissed, 'Let me get at them.' His language was a bit stronger than that "When we really did get the order to get at them we made no mistake I can tell you. They cringed at the bayonet, but those on our left wing tried to get around us, and after racing as hard as we could for quite three hundred yards, we cut up nearly every man who did not run away." Referring to the cavalry he writes: "You have heard of the charge of the Light Brigade. It was nothing to our charge. 8lash snd Slash. '1 taw two of our fellows who were unhorsed stand back to back and slash away with their swords, bringing down nine or ten of the panicstricken devils. Then they got hold of the stjrrup straps of a horse with* out a rider and got out of the melee. This kind of thing was going on all day. "In the afternoon X thought we should all gat bowled over, at they came for us in their big numbers. Where they came from goodness knows; but as we could not stop them with bullets they had another taste of the bayonet My captain, a fine fellow, was near to me and as he fetched them down he shouted: 'Give them socks, my lads/ How many were Killed and wounded I don't know, but the field was covered with them/' • v Gives Boys Chance to Bnl 1st Bordeaux.—A decree Issued by the French government permits the mother or guardian of a youth under twenty years to act as a substitute for the absent father In authorising Whole sections of them are being cap-1 the young man to volunteer -for the war.

Do you fnlly realize that a $400 piano is to be given to the contestant having the largest number of votes next week Friday? Why, you are letting them have it with just a little work! It would be fun to make them race for it anyway; but you are content to sit by peacefully and watch some one else get the prize while one of your very best friends could perhaps have won with your help. But yon cannot realize the beauty of the prize until you see some one else with it, it seems. Perhaps you believe the writer "is just trying*to scare you for his own profit, but that is not so, and next week Friday you are sure to see the soundness of advice that has been printed right here from time to time. Now you've come to the place where it is either pick up or get out. Are you going to win? If not, why'areyou trying? True, people are going tobe.satisfied with the merchants priies, because they are worth getting and any amount of work. If you would be first, then you must work for more votes. Be sure aud have your friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with / each dollar cash purchase. Have them ask for these coupons and save them for you. W. VV.

On Saturday and Sunday a heroic effort was made to eave the city from the consequences of a fresh German visitation. The flfht around Melle on Saturday turned to the advantage of the defenders, as did that on Sunday. The combatants ware within 100 yards of one another's positions- Hundreds of wounded were lying unaided and uncared for la the immediate front of the two opposing armies. The Germans' rifle fire during the night had been continuous. They fired on every one approaching their lines, and did not discriminate between combatants and aoucombatante. Retreat Decided On. **It was a critical moment There was not mach time for reflection, and after a careful review of the situation a general retreat was decided upon. The Germane appeared to be in great strength, but the defending force was holding on undismayed by the fury of the German infantry assaults, supported by heavy artillery. "There were no trains from Ghent towards the coast towns, but vehicles of every description, from dogcarts to ramshackle horse wagons, were requisitioned, and the Inhabitants of *3hent fled with some show of confusion from the enemy approaching their gates. By midnight the last ejtlaen who could scrape together money to hire a vehicle of any kind, the last soldier, and a large proportion of the wounded had quitted the city, baking the road to Bruges and Osfcmd. T h e streets of the city were sitont and deserted, and the Hotel de Pocte, which had been used as a residence by the headquarters staff and the correspondents, was practically «u*Pty. , Red Croee Nurses Brave. There are It wounded In the hotel attended by two nurses of the Belgian Red Cross society, who bravely refused to quit their charges, even Whan the doctors and stretcher bearo n abandoned their posts and vanished from Ghent The wounded were tn a feverish state of excitement Somehow, the news of the evacuation peached their ears, and they implored the nurses to have thorn transported elsewhere, for not one of them relished the idea of falling wounded Into the hands' of the Germans. "It was in vain wo sought aid from the city authorities, who were more or less distracted at the prospect of a fresh German incursion. They frankly said they had no aid to give and no doubt they were right Fears fer Brother. "At • a. at. the wounded were still tn the hotel, fretting at the long delay.

This is his account of the bombardment aa told to the Daily Chronicle correspondent: "For days we heard the sound of heavy gunfire and were (old of tho fall, one after another, of the outer forts. It soon became apparent that nothing could avail against the great German cannon, and in conjunction with other neutrals we endeavored to mediate with the Germans, to spare, at any rate, some of the most valuable buildings of world-wide Interest But the negotiations failed to lead to a successful result MI had intended to remain In Antwerp throughout the bombardment which we saw was now inevitable, but I was told to clear out of the city, aa its destruction was inevitable. "I did not realise until almost too late the horror which was coming. At 11 o'clock at night we were going to bed, when we were roused by frightful noises tn the air, reminding us of previous visits of a Zeppelin. "Soon we realised that the bombard* meat had begun, and then I had tho most horrible experience of my life. "I went with my family to the basement and we crouched there all night. The shells, falling every few minutes, came with a dreadful whistling sound, followed by a thunder clap of explosion and collapse of buildings. "Opposite the consulate is tho Home for Old Polks. Its front waa torn out by a shell. Some .of the debris was scattered over my house, and then a shell came over us, and fell on a two-story building, crumpling it up entirely and setting it on fire.

The scene waa indescribably dreadful, everybody being^ moved by the same desire to gat away from tha awful horror. "From Antwerp to Ghent tha roads are a mass of fleeing humanity. Aa wa left wa saw vast volumes of smoke arising from Antwerp from tho burning buildings aud biasing petroleum tanks. Instead of two hours to Ghent it took us three, owing to the traffic.

The Belgians, severely punished, but always in tho thick of the fighting, prevented the Germans from crossing the River Yser. The Germane are in great force, 400 guns, 40,000 infantry and some cavalry having been rushed from Ostend to tho Yser on Saturday. These troops had been drawn from all Quarters, from Lunevilie, Nancy and arussela, and were weary from lncee* saat -marching and fighting. While King Albert's army, with support from a new British army and from French marines and detachments from General Joffre's line in France, checked the German advance along the ieacoast, the loft wing of the Allien in northern France made notable progress, delivering a series of blows against von Boehm and von Kluck which forced tho Germans to surrender Armentierea and villages to the south. Gereral Joffre, according to official reports, has driven the German right wing about 19 miles to the northeast in the last four days. Severe Fighting at Belfert Fighting has boon renewed at Belfort, where the Germans once again are assailing the fortification with mortars and two violent night attacks by the Germans to the north and again to the eati of St Gie were repulsed by.the French with severe losses to the enemy.

Heavy reinforoementa are being rushed to their aid to moot the increased strength being thrown behind the Gorman line la, this action. The moat gigantic engagement of the war is now being fought just across the border in western Belgium, but it is ignored in the official dispatches because of the lack of progress to report Tho fighting is aa yet in tho preliminary stages, for tho numbers actually engaged are too groat and tho weight of the support both In big gun* and tho enormous strength In men available is so evenly divided that tho greateat deliberation la being exercised by tho rival oommandera.

Their household foods sold, the $100 auction money, all they have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or An«y in the Old Lady's home. Roth are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, t>ils is the fust time r y e had a chance to take the wuat of it." The old couple bW good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" Mods them alonjr by-paths to the gate of the Old Ladles' Lome. Miss Abigail, mawon of the Old Ladies' home, hears of the 111 fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladles, and Blosay, who has pud a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken in with his wife, Abe awakens next morning to find that he is "Old Lady No. 31." The old lftdiea give him such -» warm welcome that he U made to feel at home at once. "Brother Ahe" expands under the warm reception oc the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in the Old Ladles' home. Abe Is the center of the community.

Bloasy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, tint old captain In ths Ufe-savlog service, that gossip begins to buss. Aunt Nancy takes Abe to tajak for flirting with Blossy. He is much concerned when he learns that Angy is Jealous. Blosay drives away with Darby to be married. Abe loses popularity. The change reacts on him and the doctor orders him to bed. Then he is at the mercy or the old ladles. Darby comes to see him. CHAPTER XI—Continued. Abraham flushed. He did not care to recall Samuel's wedding day. He hastened to ask the other what had decided him and Blossy to come to* day, and was informed that Miss Abigail had written to tell Blossy that If she ever expected to see her "Brother Abe" alive again she muet come over to Shoreville at the earliest possible moment. "Then I says ter Bloasy," concluded Captain Darby, "I says, says I, 'Jest letnme see that air old henpecked Abe Rose. I'll kill him er cure him!" I says.

"Dont yer think yer'd better make it day after termorrer?" he ventured. "Or long erbout May er June?" Angy hastily amended. Samuel gave an exasperated grunt "See here, whose spree Is this?"

Angy's secret hope that Aba would change his mind and abandon the projected trip to the beach remained unfulfilled, in spite of the fact that cold weather suddenly descended on the South side, and the bay became first "scummed" over with ice, and then frozen so, solid that all its usual craft disappeared, and the "scooters" took possession of the field. Abe and Samuel held stubbornly to their reckless intentions; and the sisters, sharing Angy's anxiety, grew so-; licltous almost to the point of active interference. They withheld nothing In the way of counsel, criticism, or admonition which could be offered. "Naow," said Mrs. Homan In her most commanding tones at the end of a final discussion in the big hall, on the evening before the date set for departure, "ef yew're bound, bent an* determined, Brother Abe, to run in the face of Providence, yew want tew mind one thing, an' wear yer best set of flannels termorrer." "Sho, thar hain't no danger of me ketchln' cold," decried Abe. "I didn't say yer thickest set of flannels; I said yer best When a man gits throwed out onto the ice kerflump, the thickness of his clo'es ain't gotn' to help him much. The fust thing* I alius taught my husbands was to have everything clean an' whole on, when thar was any likelihood of a sudden death." "Yew 'spect me tew go an' prink up fer a sudden death?".thundered Abraham. "I hain't never heard tell on a scooter a-killln' nobody yit; it's them plagued iceboats up state what—" "That's all very well," persisted Mrs. Homan, not to be diverted from her subject; "but when old Doctor Billings got run over by the train at Mastic Crossin' on Fourth o' July eight year ago, hie wife told me with her own lips that she never would git over It, cus he had his hull big toe stlckin' out o' the end of his stockln'. I tell yew, these days we've got tew prepare fer a violent end." The patient Angy somewhat tartly retorted, that during the last week she had spent even more time upon father's wardrobe than she had upon her own; while Abe inwardly rejoiced to think that for seven days to come— seven whole days—he and Angy would be free from the surveillance of the sisters. ': Mrs. Homan, in no way nonplussed, boomed on: "Thar, I most fast** ebout his necktie. 'Courea, they don't dxejg up manh. at the station; but jest the same that air tie o' yourn.

No one aver attempted the fruitless task of stopping Mrs. Homan once fully launched; but when at last shs permitted her back to rest against her chair, folding her arms with the manner of one who makes a sacrifice In a worthy cause, Abe broke into aa explosive protest If any one fretted hia in his some* what fretful convalescence, it was this grenadier member of the household, who since Blossy's marriage had endeavored to fill the yacant post of "guardeen angel." "Mis' Holman," he sputtered, rising to his feet, "I wouldn't wear a red an' green plaid tie to a eel's funeral!" Then with a somewhat ungracious "good-night" to the company In general, he trudged across the hall and up the stairs, muttering something to himself about a "passel of meddlers." Well-meaning Miss Abigail, who had been nodding half asleep/roused herself to call after him, and he, paused unwillingly to heed. "Naow, don't yew lose no sleep ternight," she admonished, "a-worrytn' erbout the change in yer vlttleC I told Cap'n Sam'l that hardtack an' seen like wouldn't never do fer yer weak stummick, an' he promised me .faithful he'd send somebody tew the mainland every day fer milk."

X. CHAPTER XIII. The Prodigal's Departure. Abraham was up betimes In the morning to greet a day crisp and cold, quiet yet with sufficient breese stirring the evergreens in the yard butside to make him predict a speedy voyage. The old man was nervous and excited, and, In spite of his buoyant anticipations, somewhat oppressed, now that the day had actually come. with a sense of timidity and fear. Still, he put on a bold face while Angeline fastened his refractory collar and tied his cravat. This was neither Mrs. Homan's offering nor Abe's own old, frayed tie, but a new black one which_had mysteriously been thrust through the crack under the door during the night So, the last finishing touches having been put upon his toilet and Angy having made ready by lamplight for her own trip, even before the old man was awake, there seemed nothing left to be done until the breakfast bell should ring. Abe sat down, and looking hard at his open carpetbag wondered audibly if they had "everythln' In." The last time they two bad packed Abe's wardrobe far » visit to Bleak Hill bad been many yeejrAago, whea Samuel Barby, though some what Abe's junior, waa keeper of the life-saving stattsa, sad Abe was to be gone for a whole son's duty,. Then all of his sions had been stowed in a long, boleter- like canvas bag for the short voyage. Bo|b Aagy aa4 her husband recalled that time now—the occasion of their first and almost of their last real separation. "A weeim pass In ao time," murmured Angy vary quickly, with a catch in her voice. "Lookin' ahead, though, seven days seems awful long* when yer old; but— ,Qb, law.. yes; a week*!! spass in no time," sbe repeated. "Only dew be keerful, Abe. aft' dont take cold."

I spent a night and a day with these men, and left them rather hysterical myself only a few hours ago. We parted company and still it seems to me like a bad dream from which It is hard to wake. This regiment is mad6 up almost entirely of Welshmen and has one of the finest records. It was visited and congratulated by Field Marshal French. It has been mentioned in official dispatches for bravery, and now it is paying the price. Cool Under Fire. The men did not begin to break until after the tenseness had passed. 60 long as they were under fire they Were, cool and in command of themselves. But the position they held was so exposed to fire that they had never a moment's rest, and after a month, when they were ordered back, they went to pieces. I had spent the night before within a mile of them. When I turned south from the Aisne after a night in the trenches I took refuge at a farm on a rich plateau that borders the river. It is a big establishment, employing doxens of men at ordinary times, and the house itself is built on a quadrangle 200 by 300 feet. It was almost big enough to shelter a regiment English Captain Appears. The owner and his son are in the army and the only persons there are two old women, an old man, and a fir!. They took me in, gave me a food dinner, and we were sitting . around an open fire when a bell on the great, door to the courtyard rang. We went out to find a tall English captain and six sergeants. The captain explained that he had been sent ahead to find billets for his regiment, which had been relieved by French troops. He spoke In a rapid, nervous way, and the six sergeants seemed strangely fidgety. I acted as Interpreter and assured them that the farm could shelter three companies and that a farm two kilometers farther on could take care of the rest. Leaving three sergeants, the captain and the other three and I went on to the other farm and arranged for billets. There two sergeants remained. One returned with us and . took the road back into the lines to show the approaching regiment the way. Places for 81 x Hundred. All this time I kept noticing how nervous all these men were; but it was not until I went into the comfortable hall of the farm again that I noticed how bad It was. I had arranged for them to go to bed, but I could not induce them to do so. The sergeants prepared places for 600 men, but all night they kept knocking about with lanterns. There were beds for all; they admitted they had not seen beds for six weeks, and they professed a desire to get into them, but did not The captain was the wont example I saw of a strong man going so completely to pieces. He stood 6 feet 8 inches and weighed about two hundred pounds in bones and sinew—one of the best types of Englishmen. I knew by his type that he by habit and training was reserved, but his tongue was loosened and he talked for hours. I was learning astonishing things, bat tried many times to get him to go to bed. But he would not even take off his shoes. He said he could sleep better in an armchair before the ArcV and in the and he never closed his eyes.- 8tory of Leader. I had not slept the night before, and about two o'clock In the morning fell Into a heavy sleep, waking at nearly 'four o'clock. He was sitting, wide eyed, staring at the fire, and smoking. A few minutes later others came In. The captain said: "Sleep? How could we sleep, sitting tense all night In the trenches, knowing that the Germans were less than one hundred yards away and wera watching every moment for an opportunity to overrun us? Even in ijse day wo had to tie Just behind our trenches, always alert steeping half * o hour at a time, waked by rifles on -either side, and knowing that' the country was filled with spies, telling Vrerything we did.

But those ^ t ^ j j M J h - ^ ^ the boys that do damage. If they break near you, you are gone." Now that the English are out of the trenches they are like uneasy old women. I tried to get them to go to bed, but by dawn there were not mors than fifty asleep. They talked about the big sleep they were going to have the next night and kept talking about it until noon, when a dispatch came ordering them to move on at nightfall. Then they agreed that it was too late to try to get any sleep. They seemed to welcome the night march.

These refuges are raised slightly above the bottom of the trench, so as to remain dry in wet weather. The floor of the trench also is sloped for purposes of drainage. Are Appropriately Named. "Some of the trenches are provided with overhead cover, which gives pro-^occupied by strong forces tection from the weather as well as from shrapnel balls and splinters of shells. Considerable ingenuity has been exercised by the men in naming these shelters. Among the favorite designations are the 'Hotel Cecil,' the 'Ritz hotel/ the 'Billet Doux hotel' and the 'Rue Dormir.* "On the road barricades also are to be found boards bearing this notice: This way to the Prussians.' "Obstacles of every kind abound and at night each side can hear the enemy driving pickets for en|anglements, digging trous-de-loup, or working forward by sapping. In some places, obstacles have been constructed by both sides so close together that some wag suggested that each side provide working parties to perform this fatiguing duty alternately, inasmuch as the work of the enemy is almost indistinguishable from ours and serves the same purpose. Quarries Make Spacious Halls. . "Quarries and caves, to which allusion already has been.made, provide ample accommodation for whole bat* talions and most comfortable are the shelters which have been constructed in them. The northern slopes of the Aisne valley fortunately are very steep and this to a great extent protects us from the enemy's shells, many of which pass harmlessly over our heads to burst in the meadows along the river bank. Bomb Dropped on Ammunition. "It already has been mentioned that, according to information obtained from the enemy, 15 Germans were killed by a bomb dropped upon the ammunition wagon of a cavalry column. It was thought at the time that this might have been the work of one of our airmen, who reported that he had dropped a hand grenade on this convoy and had fien got a birdseye view of the finest display of fireworks he had ever seen. "From corroborative evidence it appears that this was the case; that the grenade thrown by him probably was the cause of the' destruction of a 8mall convoy carrying field gun and howitzer ammunition, which now has been found a total wreck. Along the road lie 14 motor lorries, their iron skeletons twisted and broken. Every* thing Inflammable has been burned, as have the stripped trees—some with split trunks—on both sides of the road.

Another 'Berlin dispatch says that after violent fighting the Germans have entirely occupied the northern canal system, reaching from Arleux 66 miles south-southeast of Banal, for 49 kilometers in the direction of the River Oise. The canal is unused and is dry. The Gprmans have changed it into a fortified position, which is The canal has been the object of the latest fifihting, as it is a highly important position in this part of the battlefield.

Miss Abigail began to plan what she should have for- dinner the day of his return. No one seemed to notice Angy. She felt that her own departure would create scarcely a. stir; for, without Abraham, she was only one of a group of poor old women in a semi-charity home. Slowly she started up the stairs for her bonnet and the old broche shawl. When she reached the landing, where lay the knitted mat of the three-star pattern, the matron called up to her in tragic tones: "Angy Ros,e, I jest thought of i t He never kissed yew good-by!" Angy turned, her small, slender feet sinking deep into one of the woolly stars, her slim figure encircled by the light from the upper hall window.

Ladles' home Abe had never stopped chafing in secret over the fact that until he died, and no doubt received worthy obituary, he might never again "have his name in the paper." In former, days t h e successive editors of the local sheet had been willing, nay, eager, to chronicle his doings and Angy's, whether Abe's old enemy, rheumatism, won a new victory over him or Angy's second cousin Ruth came from Roverhead to spend the day, or—wonder Indeed to relate! —the old man mended his roof or painted the front fence. No matter what happened of consequence to Captain and Mrs. Rose, Mr. Editor had always been zealous to retail the news —before the auction sale of their household effects marked the death of the old couple, and of Abe especially, to the social world of Shoreville.

He was a keen-faced, boyish little man with a laugh bigger than himself, but he always wore a worried air the day before his paper a weekly, went to pres, and he wore that worried look now. Touching his hand to his fur cap, he informed Samuel and Abe that news was "as scarce as hen's teeth;" then added: "What's doing?" "Oh, nawthin', nawthin*," hastily replied Samuel, who believed that hfe hated publicity, as he gave Abe's fool a sly kick. "We was jest a-gwine ter take a leetle scooter sail." He adjusted the skirt of his coat in an effort to hide Abe's carpetbag, his own canvas satchel, and a huge market basket of good things which Blossy had cooked for the life-savers. "Seen anythlnk of that air Eph Seaman?" Samuel added, shading his eyee- with his hand and peering out upon the gleaming surface of the bay, over which the white sails of scooters were darting like a flock of huge, singlewinged birds. "Eph's racing with Captain Bill Green," replied the newspaper man. "Captain Bill's got an extra set of new runners at the side of his scooter and wants to test them. Say, boys." looking from one to the other of the old fellows, "so you're going scootering, eh? Lively sport! Cold kind of sport for men of your age.

Seven minutes had been the record time for the five-mile sail over the ice to Bleak Hill, but Samuel and Abe, both vowing delightedly that the skipper couldn't go too fast for them, stepped into the body of the boat and squatted down on the hard boards. They grinned at each other as the scooter started and Eph jumped aboard—grinned and waved to the people on the shore, their proud old thoughts crying: "I guess folks will see now that we're as young as we ever was!" They continued to grin as the 'joat spun into full flight and went whizzing over the ice. whizzing and bumping and bouncing. Both their faces grew red, their two pairs of eyes began to water, their teeth began to chatter; but Samuel shouted at the top of his voice in defiance of the gale: "Abe, we've cut the apron strings!"

That the wind of projectiles causes the death of soldiers is a theory advanced by Professor Laurent of Brussels, who read a paper on this subject before the French Acadamy of Science. During the Balkan war. Professor Laurent said he had noticed soldiers who, seemingly, were troubled from cerebrospinal disturbances, although having escaped a bullet. 8ometimes the victims became cataleptic and in less serious cases there were symptoms of falr.iing, tingling sensations and par tial paralysis. In instances where this mysterious infliction caused death, autopsies were held and these invariably revealed no nervous lesions. Then It occurred to Professor Laurent that the variations of atmospheric pressure caused by the passing of the projectile had an effect upon the nerve cells, causing inhibition. Dr. Matigon. during the Russia-Japan war. reported similar cases, particularly after a severe bombardment. As projectiles gain no* only in size but in speed, as the years go on A just what the toll from wind will be in the next great conflict is hard to forecast. Order of the Bath by Law. The American doctor who is denouncing the bath as an evil influence on health would flird many supporters at Cardiff. For there the makers of patent fuel (briquettes), were given the Order of the Bath by law and resented it. Thus an official report to the home secretary expresses the sincere belief of these workers: "One man said that tbe taking of baths had aged the man ten years, and most of them declared that they suffered great agony every day they used these baths." Which prepares one somewhat for that remark of the old provost at a suggestion that baths should be provided at Oxford college: "Baths!1' he snorted, "why, the young men are up only eight weeks!"—London Chronicle. Expected a Real Boat Ride. A contest, for the enlargement of the Sunday school, entitled "A Trip to Palestine," had been plumed by the superintendent.

BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE Industrial Type of Horses Will Be In Demand at the Conclusion of the War. The American farmer who seeks to take advantage of the horse famine now being made by Krupp and Creusot guns should dismise all thought of supplying the armies now in the field.

What he should^o is breed industrial types of horses to fill the gaps made by the present war, with perhaps a small percentage of the type of horses actually preferred for military use.

About thirty years ago he went to Fowlerville. Twenty-seven years ago he was married and engaged in the stock and meat business, working for W, A. Benjiman.

During the past year he has lived in the village of Howell, where hi9 pleasing personality has won for him a host of friends.

Owned and edited the Bellevue Gazette at Bellevue four years, and resigned as a Presidential Republican postmaster two years ago, to come to Flint to engage in the printing business.

Among the people who know him, he has the reputation of being honest, square, clean-cut and busy so if he does not get to see you personally you will know that it is because he has to work for his living.—Adv. (X) George A. Barnes. Political Advertising Political Advertising Willis L Lyons Candidate For Prosecuting Attorney Republican Ticket SECOND TERM In the past all Prosecuting Attorneys with a good record have been given a second term. We contend Willis Lyons has a good record. He gave up his office and moved to the court house, in other words he made the county business his main work, other business secondary. The stone yard provided by the Supervisors to get rid of the tramp expense has not been used. That was cared for in another way. The criminal expense of the county was reduced $4952.62 the first year over the previous year. Only five cases have been lost out of 150. The work has been carried on in a quiet careful and conservative manner and everyone given a square deal. Not a dollar has been paid by the county to another lawyer to assist. He has the good will of many but his friends should remember that votes count on election day. —Livingston Republican. John A.

From * small child she has been taught <j|hat a keen interest should be tak- Sin all matters pertaining to an ucation and the general school system. Her time in school was well spent as an earnest scholar with the same perseverence we see in her work after graduation.

Mrs. Ixmen is a woman, of Charming personality, and is a hard working woman who must earn her own living. She has had nine years of experience in teaching; three years as principal of the west ward school in Howell, leaving th|s work, much to the regret of he* patrons,Jx> become a teacher in the County Normal at New London, Wisconsin, where she assisted in training teachers for rural schools. At the present time, Mrs. Lemen is again a teacher in the Howell schools. Mrs. Lemen, if elected, ^will certainly be a /credit to Die people who vote for her and will do all that lies in her power to benefit themtrons of rural schools. Clark H. Miner Democrat Candidate For County Clerk To the voters of the South part of the County, your attention is again called to the fact that election day is close at hand, when ypu by your vote will be called upon again to elect officers to fill the several offices of the County for the next two years. Clark H. Miner, the present County Clerk and Democratic nominee for reelection has made a record for himseli which entitles him to the confidence and respect of his constituants. And should the voters of the County desire to continue the same kind of service, no mistake will be made in re-electing Mr. Miner, to this important position for another term. The duties of the office have been carefully looked after and not one word of criticism has ever been heard against his ability. Thanking the voters for the past favors conferred upon him and soliciting their support in the coming election with a promise that if elected he will endeavor to give the office his personal attention and will try to improve the record heretofore made. County Clerk He is a young man that the Republican party elected for their candidate for that office, feeling that he v. as capable and worthy of such an honor at the hands of the voters of this county. Two years ago he made a sacrifice run against a man" who was seeking his* second term, that it might put him in line for the coming election, as the present occupant of that office only asked for support for two terms, and is now asking for a third. Therefore he feels justified in appealing to all parties for their support at the coming election, and if elected will endeavor to perform the duties of the office in such a manner that you will be pleased with the support given him.

Canvey island, which is now aiming to usurp some of the trade of the Thames by providing deep sea { wharves for the unloading of the world's riches, began Us career in a somewhat peculiar fashion, says the London Chronicle.

'^•iC-* Ijrawi Alfalfa, one of the oldest and most widespread of crops, can be grown In tbls country as far as climate is concerned, in every state, but in the humid sections it Is very exacting in the. character of noil and treatment required The following Itst.of "don W published by the U. S. department of agriculture in Farmers' Bulletin No. 339 will, therefore, be of interest: Ten Don'ts for the Alfalfa Grower. Don't fail to provide for ample inoculation. Don't sow poor or weedy seed, Don't sow on a weedy soil. , Don't sow on any but a sweet welllimed soil. Don't sow on poorly drained soil. Don't sow on any but a finely-prepared, well-settled seed bed. Don't pasture the first or second year. Don't lose the leaves; they constitute the best part of the hay. Don't seed a large acreage to begin with. Experiment on a small area first. Don't, give up. Many prominent alfalfa growers finally succeeded only after many failures. The first essential, as these "don'ts" show, is proper soil. A deep, fertile. well-drained soil, rich in lime and reasonably free from weeds is indispensable, and It Is useless to attempt to grow alfalfa on any other kind of land. The lack of any one of these qualities is very apt to be the cause of failure especially in the East and Bouth, where at best alfalfa is produced with some difficulty. The plant 10 a deep-feeding one and usually sends Its roots down many feet to obtain food and moisture which are out of reach of the shallowrooted crops. . On soil that lacks depth alfalfa is unable to utilize Its deep-feeding roots and is, therefore. less able to withstand the attsck of surface-feeding weeds. An exception to this seems to be found1 In the case of soils that are underlaid by limestone at a depth of some eighteen inches or two feet. Weeds are, in fact, one of the greatest enemies of alfalfa. Tie young plants are very tender and are apt to be killed during their early stages of growth. Forjthis reason it is good practice to raise some cultivated crop on the ground for two or three seasons before alfalfa is .planted. If this is not practicable, some such crop as cowpeaj. which naturally prevent the growth of weeds, can be seeded. Alfalfa sown in the spring is especially susceptible to harm from weeds, and spring seeding, therefore, should be avoided wherever possible. It is, however, preferable in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas where any but spring or early summer stands are very apt to winterkill. In general, the principle underlying the time of seeding is to sow as far tn advance as possible of what promises to be the most trying season for the young plants. In the East and South a late summer seeding is usually best This enables an earlier COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER and gives alfalfa ample time to make a growth before the winter sets in; a fact which gives the plants a good start in the following spring, and aids them successfully to resist the inroad of weeds. The conditions that determine the time for seeding alfalfa indirectly determine also the crops which should precedf it. Where late summer seeding Is/ practiced a truck crop which matures early will enable one crop to be secured that season and still allow time for the preparation of the land for alfalfa. Under such circumstances the fertilizer demanded by the truck crop will probably be sufficient for the alfalfa. The_ efficiency of green manure cropsTn increasing the humus content of the soil makeo them especially valuable as a preliminary crop for alfalfa. If the soil is not fertilized in this way, or does not obtain the benefit of manure used for previous cash crops, well-rottec barnyard mtnure or J commercial fertilizers must be employed if the best results are hoped for. It must always be borne in mind that alfalfa requires rich soil. It cannot be grown on any kind of land that happens to lie handy for the farmer. On the other hand, with proper conditions and care Its yield will be sufficient to Justify the use of the rlchect and best drained land on the farm. In the East it is usually best to develop the fertility of some of the high, rolling land and seed that. Bottom lands should be avoided; not only is the danger from weeds on such soils greater, but alfalfa absolutely requires well-drained land. Overflows from streams are usually fatal to it during its growing period, In fact, it is unusual for It to survive more than 24 hours of complete submergence, although during Us dormant period in the winder it is less susceptible. Not the least difficulty that the alfalfa grower must face is the necessity for thorough inoculation of the soil In regions where the proper bacteria are lot supplied by nature. Throughout the western half of the United States inoculatio i In general does not appear to be necessary, but in the East the grower who neglects this precaution is practically certain to lose his time. There are two methods now in general use. The bacteria may be supplied either by scattering the soil from a successful alfalfa field, or by cultures. The artificial -cultures are supplied by the United States department of agricult u r e and their use explained n detail in thp printed matter which accompanies the bottle of culture. After being mixed with the clean water and certain chemicals these cultures are applied to the seed, which is then dried in a shaded place and sown as soon as possible. When this method is successful at all it appears to be fully as much so as the scattering of •oil. _ • i n . Do black hens make you think of crop to be removed from th.

Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska has the subject been given no legislative consideration. State tuberculosis sanatoria to the number of 42 have been ebtablished in 33 different states. Special laws providing for the establishment of local hospitals by municipalities or counties have been passed in 14 states. In 34 states laws are in force providing for the reporting and registration of living cases of tuberculosis. In four states. New York, New Jersay, Wisconsin and Minnesota, special laws have been enacted giving state and local health authorities power to remove and detain tuberculous persons who menace the health of their families or associates. Six states, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Minnesota, New York and Texas, have laws which give the people the privilege of voting at general or special elections on the establishment of county or municipal tuberculosis hospitals. Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Washington grant subsidies ranging from $3 to $5 per week to *uch local hospitals. Laws prohibiting spitting in public places have been enacted in more than twenty states.

AMrioh County ScbMl Commissionar Mvingst^i County Republican Candidate For SECOND TERM The great Horace Mann once said that education is oar only political safety, and he is not alone in this idea. From the begiaing of American History our forefathers believed* in public schools. Much sacrifice has been made and is bein^ made to provide schools for our children and colleges for the preparation of teachers who are given the vital task of training these young minds. At the present time the people demand that high standards in education be maintained, that our schools prog ret. 8 along with other lines of industry. They demand good teachers and good superintendents. At the coming election an important school office is to be filled by the voters, that ,af County Superintendent or Commissioner. This office stands at tut head of educational matters in the county. The duties of the office are many. In addition to the work of visiting the schools and advising with teachers and officers, the commissioner conducts examinations, audits directors reports, attends to the truancy work, conducts teachers institutes, etc. You can readily see what it means to make a change, in this office. It is the policy of village school boards to retain teachers and superintendents as lon# 'as they give proficient service. Should not the same be true of county superintendent? 1^ it customary to give other cowaty officers a second term If they have made a good rocord. WhV not toe commissioner^ schools?

Impressions at the end are those of some great industrial undertaking, with powerful machinery in full operation and endless supply tra'ins bringing up the raw materials for fabrication rather than of war as pictured. Sees Battle From Hillside. From a point of observation on a hillside above St. Mlhlel, the great battlefield on which a German army Is endeavoring to break through the line of barrier forts between Verdun and Toul, and the opposing French forces could be surveyed In its entirety." In the foreground lay the level valley of the Mouse with the towns, of St. Mihiel and Bannoncour nestling upon the green landscape. Beyond and behind the valley rose a tier of hills, on which the French obstinately hold an intrenched position, checking the point of the German wedge, while French forces from north and south beat upon the sides of the triangle trying to force it back across the Meiise and out from the vitals of the French fortress line. Bursting shells threw up their columns of white or black fog around the edge of the panorama. Cloudlets of white smoke here and there showed where a position was being brought under shrapnel fire. An occasional aeroplane could be picked out, hovering over the lines, but the infantry and the field battery positions could not be discerned, even with a highpower field glass, so cleverly had the armies taken cover. Reaches Zone of Ruin. A few miles beyond Gorze the French frontier was passed and from this point on the countryside, with its deserted farms, rotting shocks of wheat, and uncut fields of grain, trampled down by infantry and scarred with trenches, excavations for batteries, and its pits caused by exploding shells, showed war's devastating heel prints. At St. Benolt a party of some three hundred French prisoners was encountered, waiting outside headquarters. They were all fine young fellows, in striking contrast to the elderly reservist type which predominates In the German prison camps. They were evidently elite troops of the line and were treated almost with deference by their guards, a detachment of bearded landwehr men from South Germany. They were the survivors of the garrison of the Roman camp fort who had put up such a desperate and spirited defense as to win the whole-hearted admiration and respect of the German officers and men. f Held Out to Bitter End. Their guns had been silenced and trenches were pushed up by an overwhelming force of pioneers and infantry to within five yards of their works before they retreated from the advanced intrenchments to the casements of the fort Here they maintained a stout resistance and refused every summons to surrender. Hand grenades were brought up, bound to a backing of boards, and exploded against the openings of the casements, filling these with showers of steel splinters. Volunteers, creeping up to the dead angle of the casements where the fire of the defenders 'could not reach them, directed smoke tubes and stinkpots against apertures In the citadel, filling the rooms with suffocating smoke and gases. "Have you had enough?" they were asked, after the first smoke treatment "No," was the defiant answer. The treatment was repeated a second and third time, the response to the demand for surrender each time growing weaker until finally the defenders were no longer able to raise their rifles and the fort was taken. Saluted by Foes. When the survivors of the plucky garrison were able to march out revived by the fresh air, they found their late opponents presenting arms before them In recognition of their gallant ftand. They were .granted the most 7 honorable terms of surrender, their eAoers were allowed to retain their *rwor4s and on their march toward an honorable captivity they were everywketv greeted with expressions of re- «peet and admiration. -. Beyond Bt Benolt and Cote Lorj* atne * range of wooded hills running ftorth; and south along the east bank J <0f the Mease rises m steeply terraced French line of fortresses beyond the Mouse. The French had fortified these slopes with successive rows of trenches, permitting line above line of Infantry to fire against an advancing enemy. For days a desperate struggle was waged for the possession of the heights, which was imperative for the German campaign against the line of fortresses. The correspondent had no opportunity to inspect at close range the 16%• inch guns, the "growlers" of Liege, Namur, and other fortresses, which Krupp and the German army uncovered as the surprise of this war. Sees Battery lq* Action. Their smaller sisters >w$e less coy. A dismounted battery 'of the intermediate caliber, details of which are not for publication, was encountered by the roadside awaiting repairs to the heavy traction engine in whose train it travels in sections along the country roads, while the German 8¼-inch (21 centimeter) and the Austrian 12« inch (30.5 centimeter) batteries were seen in action. The heavy German battery lay snug* ly hid in a wood on the rolling heights of the Cote Lorraine. Better off than the French, whose aviators had for four days repeatedly scrutinized every acre of land in the vicinity looking for these guns, we had fairly accurate directions how to find the battery, but even then it required some search and doubling back and forth before a languid cannoneer, lounging by the roadside, pointed with thumb over shoulder toward the hidden guns. These and the artiUerymen were enjoing their midday rest, a pause which sets in every day with the regularity of the luncheon hour in a factory. The guns, two in this particular position, stood beneath a screen of thickly branching trees, the muzzles pointing toward round openings in this leafy roof. Fires Two Exhibition 8hots. It was the noon pause, but the lieutenant in charge of the guns, anxious to show them off to advantage, volunteered to telephone the battery commander, in his observation post four miles nearer the enemy, for permission to fire a shot or two against a village in which French troops were gathering for the attack. This bat* tery just had finished with Les Paroc hes, a French barrier fort across the Meuse, and was not devoting its attention to such minor tasks. Soon the orderly reported that the battery commander authorized two shots against the village in question. At command the gun crew sprang to their posts about the mortar, which was already adjusted for its target, a little less than six miles away, the gun muzzle pointing skyward at an angle of about sixty degrees. As the gun was fired the projectile could be seen and followed in Its course for several hundred feet . Before the report died away the crew were busy as bees about the gun. One man with the hand elevating gear rapidly cranked the barrels down to a level position ready for loading. A second threw open the breech and ex* tracted the brass cartridge case, carefully wiping it out before depositing it among the empties; four more seized the heavy shell and lifted it to cradle opposite the breech, a seventh rammed it home; number eight gingerly Inserted the brass cartridge, half filled with a vaselinelike explosive, the breech was closed, and the gun pointer rapidly cranked the gun again into position. In less than thirty seconds the men sprang back from the gun, again loaded and aimed. 8eeond Shot Fires Village. A short wait and the observer from his post near the village ordered "next shot, 60 meters nearer." The gun pointer made the slight correction > necessary, the mortar again sent its shell purring through the air against the village, wtoich this time, It was learned, broke Into flames, and while the men went back to their noonday rest the lieutenant explained the fine point* of his beloved guns. One man, as has been seen, could manipulate the elevation gear with one hand easily and quickly; ten of his horses could take the mortar, weighing eight tons, anywhere; it could fire up to 500 shots per day. He was proud of the skillful concealment of his guns, which Bad been firing for four days from the same position without being discovered; although French aviators had located all the sister batteries, all of which had suffered Ion from shrapnel Are. Along the roadside through the Cote Lorraine were here and there graves with rude crosses and penciled inscriptions.

RELICS TO BE PRESERVED Mexican Authorities Make Discoveries of Parts of Bodies of Maximilianand His Generals. The heart of Gen. Tomas Mejia and fragments of the bodieB of Emperor Maximilian and General Miramon. all of whom were executed together on the Cerro de las -Campas, just outside the city of Queretaro, when Maximilian surrendered there to the forces of President Juarez, were found recently in a search which was made by the constitutionalist authorities of the library of the house of Luis Garcia Pimentel, in Call© de Donceles, No. 68. The house of Garcia Pimentel is at present occupied by General Davlla Sanchez. When the constitutionalist authorities were going through the library of this residence, taking an inventory of what they found there, they came upon the grewsome relics, which were carefully preserved. The heart of Mejia and the portions of the body of the emperor and his other trusted general had been kept, it is said, by Doctor Liceoga, who performed the autopsy upon the bodies after their execution, and acquired from him by Garcia Pimentel as relies. They probably will be donated to a museum, it is said, by the authorities.— Mexican Herald. ITCHING BURNING ECZEMA R. F. D.

In this age of co-operation, in which manufacturing and commercial interests hav3 attained wonderful. development and success by merging their resources, it is not to be wondered at that co-operation has slowly but inevitably wended its way into rural life. The old method of individualism is gradually giving way to the cooperative spirit and the resuit is a greatly reduced cost of living and expense of farming. Michigan farmers are leading the co-cperative-< movement and it i s gradually being extended into every feature of community life. Egypt'* Flood Tim*.

The rise is recorded by the nilometer constructed by the Caliph Mutawakhul more than ten centuries ago, on the Island of Rhoda, opposite Cairo. A square well, from the water of which rises a marble column, is connected with the river by a canal. As the water rises more of the pillar Is hidden.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett moved to Sioux St. Marie from Howell but recently, and have many friends here who extend their sympathy. It is about time for someone to start an investigation to learn the reason why so many silos are falling down. Anyone who has occasion to read the various country weekly newspapers is astonished at the number of wood and concrete silos that are reported falling over. It would be found perhaps that the reason in most cases embraced the old causes, oheap labor and cheqp materials. The farmer should know that he can not get j o o d work and good goods unless he-pays for them. If he intends to invest in a silo let him get the best that money can boy and let it be erected by the most responsible man i s the business. In such a ease the farmer will never be sorry.

The stout lady struggled with dim culty into the railway carriage. "Ah," she gasped, "that door might ha' been made by Old Sam." She paused for breath, and then, says the Manchester Guardian, proceeded to explain herself. "You see, Old Sam was one of them chaps 'oo'd getten on. Went from a three an' six cottage to a big 'onse. But 'is missis wasn't used to a big 'ouse and spent all 'er.time in kitchen wf V servants. Old Sam didn't like this, but 'e never argued wi' wimmen. Now, she was stout, like me.

There is also a record of a golden eagle which died at Scbonbrunn at the age of 118] another was keplln {Tie Vower of London for ninety years, while a third died at Vienna aged 104 years.

It Is difficult nowadays, with oar modern serviceable rifle before us, to believe {hat as recently as 1572 the sling figured as a weapon of the battlefield. In 1702 a ftatch was shot at Pacton Green between an archer and a musketeer, in which the archer succeeded in sending sixteen out, of twenty shots into the target to,the musketeer's dozen. The dragon was the name of the firearm with which the original dragoon regiments were armed. It had a barrel only sixteen inches in length, and the muzsle was like "a gaping serpent's mouth." The carabineers^ derived their name from a short firearm originally used by the Irregular cavalry of the Moors. The arquebus of Charles I.'s time had a barrel only sixteen inches long and weighed about fifteen pounds in alL In the trial of the first percussion muskets against the flintlock 6,000 rounds were fired from each. The official record was 022 misfires against the flintlock; percussion musket, thirty-two misfires,— London Answers. What the Robin Eats. In the northern aud southern parts of the west the robin is among the most cherished of native birds. It is an omnivorous feeder, and its food includes many orders of Insects as well as earth worms, but 58 per cent of its food is derived from vegetable matter, the principal item being fruit The general usefulness of the bird Is such, however, that protecting orchards and fruit should be tried before the policy of killing them is determined on.

RUSSIAN AEROPLANE CAPTURED BY .THE GERMANS London—Turkey has ignored Great Britain's note of last Friday pertaining to hostilities in the Black sea, which means that the Ottoman empire is at war with the Allies. The Ambassadors of England, France and Russia demanded their passports Saturday night and left Constantinople Sunday. A dispatch from .Rome states that Italy is aflame with war clamor and the populace is demanding action. Counting Portugal, but not Italy, there are now eleven powers at war. That three more will be drawn in, and shortly, is the general opinion. These are Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania. The note which Great Britain presented to Turkey on Friday was really an ultimatum to which Turkey was required to make a reply by Saturday evening. Turkish troops, which had been on the Egyptian border for some time, already are reported to have crossed the frontier, while the Turkish fleet continues to menace Russian towns and shipping in the Black sea. Reedy to Oppose Invasion. Neither Russia nor Great Britain was unprepared for this move by Turkey, which, government officials say, was known to have been under the influence of Germany, and the allied powers have forcee on hand ready to oppose a Turkish invasion When the regular forces were drawn from Egypt to take part in the war in Europe, they were immediately replaced by troops from home, The problem both for England and Russia, however, is the attitude of their Moslem subjects who, under ordinary circumstances, would prefer not to fight against Turkey. In this war, however, they have rallied to their flag as have all other races under British or Russian rules and care is being taken to explain to them that In this case Turkey, under the direction of Germany, has been the aggressor. Another problem relates to the attitude of Roumanla, Bulgaria and Greece. Bulgaria, owing her existence to Russia, and being under obligations to Great Britain, besides being desirous of obtaining Thrace as far east as the Enos-Mldia line, which she was awarded by the London conferences after, the first Balkan war, but which Turkey retook when Bulgaria was attacked by Greece and Servia, would naturally side with the Entente powers. It objects, however, political observers point out, to fighting side by side with Greece and Servia, j Russia, however, is expected to ask Bulgaria definitely on what side she is ranged, as her mere neutrality under the circumstances appears insufficient Should she join the Austrians and Germans, Rumania is almost certain to declare for the Allies, and Greece even before this-may decide to take her revenge on Turkey. Says Russia Was Aggressor. Berlin—An official Turkish report forwarded from Constantinople by the correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung says that the Russians opened hostilities October 28 by firing upon a portion of the Turkish fleet after having for some time interfered with the evolutions of the warships. Describing the naval action in the Black sea, which was said to be continuing at the time of the announcement, the report says: "The Turkish fleet sank the Russian mine layer Prat, which was carrying several hundred mines, the torpedo boat destroyer Kubanets, captured a collier and severely damaged * coast defens* ship.** f/ wSiwtf.'iiffl »> w^St.^twf tN&mli/Ki+f&'t' German transport removing a Russian aeroplane captured oy General von Hlndenburg at Lotzen.

London, Oct 31.—Two Russian cities weje bombarded by ships under the Turkish flag. The Breslau, late of the German navy, shelled Theodosla, in the Crimea, an unfortified port The Hamidieh of the Turkish navy bombarded Novotosysk, further east than Theodosla, east of the entrance to the Sea of Azov. This makes the tenth nation in the war! Six hundred German officers have arrived in Turkey since the war began. They brought siege guns, field guns and ammunition with them. A German colonel, Weber Pasha, took command of the Dardanelles forts, and big German guns were mounted in them. All the fortifications of the Bosphorus have been overhauled, a large number of mines laid down along the coasts of Asia Minor, especially in and around Smyrna, which is fortified, and to the north of Smyrna intrenchments have been dug to repel any possible attack by land. It is computed that Turkey has from 600,009 to 700,000 men ready to take the field. The German officers put the number at 900,000. The action of Turkey marks the long-expected entry of that nation Into the war, her animus being particularly directed against Russia. The longsustained neutrality of the Ottoman empire finally was broken under German pressure. Russian and French 8hlps 8unk. London, Nov. 1^-Turkey has followed its initial hostile acts in bombarding two Russian cities by attacking Russian and French ships without loss of time. Following is a summary of events which have succeeded each other rapidly as a result of the decision of the ports to enter the war. Turkish gunboats raided the port of Odessa, bombarded the suburbs of the town, sank the Russian gunboat Don* ets, killing all her crew, and damaged the Russian steamers Lasareff, Witias and Whampoa and the. French liner Portugal. Cruiser Goeben torpedoed and sank the Russian steamers Yalta and Kas» bek in the Black sea, drowning 78 passengers and crew. The Russian am- Jtassador to Constantinople has been withdrawn. The British envoy, Ambassador Mallet, has Informed the grand vizier on behalf of his government that if the Turks cross the frontier of Egypt it will mean war with the powers. Russian troops have been mobilized on the Turkish frontier. Turkey is mobilizing cavalry divisions on the Red sea. Italy's hand is expected soon to be forced. France has looked to Italy to dominate the Balkans, and in the present crisis with Turkey's army, numbering between 700,000 and 900,- 000, thrown into the conflict, she cannot do so by continuing her neutral position. Greece is also likely to enter the war at once. She will, of course, oppose her ancient enemy, the Turks. Roumanla probably will do likewise. Water Drives Germans From Trenches. London, Nov. 1.—The German forces in the lower Yser valley in Belgium have been compelled to retreat according to an official announcement issued here. The Belgians opened the dykes in the valley and the Germans were compelled to withdraw from the flood of water that ' poured forth against them. As the Germans retreated they were shelled by the Belgians. Lille is reported to have been recaptured by the allies. Ostend is said-to have been evacuated by the Germans. Thousands of dead and wounded were left on the field when the Germans finally were driven back, and the trenches of the troops commanded by Field Marshal Sir John French held both German and French dead, for they had been taken and retaken repeatedly during the two days' encounter. Soldiers from southern Flanders and 11,000 marines from the garrison hear Heyst are being rushed to Zeebrugge. The only explanation suggested is that the British are landing or attempting to land troops on the Bet gian coast back of the German lines. The Germans have reoccupied Tournhout, Belgium. . Fall Back Before Russians. Berlin, Oct. 29 (by wireless via London.)— In Poland, after several days of fighting, during which all Russian \ attacks were successfully repulsed, the German-Austrian forces were obliged to retreat before new Russian advances from Warsaw, Ivangorod and Novoe Goergiecsk. The Russians have for the time being abandoned the pursuit Germans Sink Three Wsrshlps. Paris, Oct. 30.—The German cruiser Emden, the terror of the Pacific ocean, has made another successful raid, according to advices received from the British embassy at Tokyo. Flying the Japanese flag and disguised by the addition of a fourth smokestack, she audaciously stole under the guns of the fort and entered Georgetown, the harbor of the island of Penang, the British possession in the Straits Settlements, fired torpedo* which destroyed the Russian cruiser Jemptchug and a French torpedo destroyer and escaped through the Straits of Malacca. More than two hundred members of the crews of the warships were killed. De Wet Heads Revolt. London, Oct. M.—Gen. Christian De Wet, the last of the Boer generals to surrender during the Boer war of 1900, and Gen. Christian Frederick Beyers, who resigned as commander of the British defense forces of the Union of South Africa last month, are leading an army of Boer burghers in revolt against the British in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, according to an announcement by the official press bureau of the war office. Botha Punishes Rebels. London, Oct. 31.—The following official statement was issued tonight regarding the rebillion in the Union of South Africa. "General Botha reports that he left Rustenberg (a district in the west part of the Transvaal colony) on Tuesday morning and proceeded in the direction in which Gen.. Christian Beyers with his commando, was supposed to be. "He came in touch with General Beyers' men in the forenoon and drove them, in headlong rout, the whole of the day and captured 80 of them fully armed."

Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. "My mother/ since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and (complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavour of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning i t He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was oyer, I bought a package to carry borne with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's con* ditlon, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and-had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This* continued until she was well and hearty. T know Postum has benefited m y - self and the other members-of the family, hut not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."

CHAPTER XV. •rr v* The "Hardening" Process. 3$e life-saving station was very Nos. 8 and 5 bad gone out on the eight-o'clock patrol The seventh man was taking his twenty-four hours off at his home on the shore. The keeper was working over hie report in the office. The other members of the crew were upstairs asleep, and Abe and Samuel were bearing each other company In the messroom. Abe lay asleep on the carpet-covered sofa which had been dragged but of the captain's room for him, so that the old man need not spend the night in the cold sleeping-loft above.. He was fully dressed except for bis boots; for he was determined to con* form to the rules of the service, and sleep with his clothes on ready for instant duty. ' 'Talk erbout him a-dyln'!M growled Samuel to himself, lounging wearily in a chair beside the stove. "He's jest startin' bis life. He's a regular boss. I didn't think he had it in him/ i Samuel's tone was resentful.. He was a little jealous of the distinction which had been made between him and Abe; and drawing closer to the lire, he shivered in growing distaste for the cot assigned to him with the crew upstairs, where the white frost lay on the window latches. What uncomfortable chairs they had In' this station! Samuel listened to the mooing of the breakers, to the wind rattling at the- caeements—and wondered if Blossy had missed him. About this time she must he sitting in her chintz-covered rocker, combing out the ringlets of her golden-white hair in the cheery firelight Now, thai would be a sight worth seeing! Abe opened his mouth and began to snore. What disgusting, hideous creatures men were, reflected Samuel. Six months' living with an unusually high-bred woman had raaeneibly raised his standards. Why should he spend a week of his ever-shortening life with such Inferior beings, just for Abraham's sake—for Abraham's sake, and to bear out a theory of his own, which he had already concluded a mistake? Abe gave a snort, opened his eyes, and muttered sleepily: "This is what I call a A No. 1 spree. Naow, termor* rer—" But. mumbling Incoherently he relapsed into slumber, puffing bis lips out into a whistling sound. Samuel reached for a newspaper on the tab'e, folded it into a missile, and started to fling it into the Innocent face o the sleeper. But fortunately for Ran Ova* oa Hit Fingers the L(*t of <*••' High Ortmes. •4 **** Abraham, It was Captain Darby's cuetonfto count ten whenever seised by an exasperated impulse, and at the ninth number he regretfully dropped the paper. Theft he began to count in another way. TJsthf the forefinger of his right hand at a marker, he counted under his breath, "one* on his left thumb, then after a frowning. Interval, two" on hie left {oren&ger, "three" on the middle digit, and so on, giving fame tar thought to each number, <nntil he had exhausted the fingers of his left hand and was ready to start on the right Count, count, went on Samuel, unto thrift* five was nagged, an* he began • v A 'StsaV ^•AAfsBBBBAff* ~ Onoe more Abe awoke, and iaenlred t i k e ether wet* trtfn* to jroofcon the number of new wigwags and signals which the service had acquired since they had worked for the government; but on being sharply told to "Shot up!" went to sleep again. What the projector of the trip was really trying to recall was how many times that day he had regretted saving Abe from the devastating clutches of the old ladles. "Him need hardenln'7" muttered Samuel blackly. "Why, he's harder now 'n nails an' hardtack!" Again he ran over on bis fingers the list of high crimes and misdemeanors of which vAbfl had been guilty. First—thumb; left hand—Abe had insisted on extending their scooter sail until he, Samuel, had felt his toes freezing in his boots. Second—forefinger, left hand—on being welcomed by the entire force at Bleak Hill and asked how long they expected to stay, Abe had blurted out, "A hull week," explaining that Samuel's rule requiring at least seven days of exile from his wife every eix months barred them from returning in teas time. The keeper was a widower, all the other men were bachelors. How could they be expected to understand T They burst into a guffaw of laughter, and Abe, not even conscious that he had betrayed a sacred confidence, sputtered and laughed with the res{. Samuel had half a mind to return tomorrow, "jest to spite 'em." Let's see, how many days of this plagued week were left? Six. Six whole twenty-four hours away from Blossy and his snug, warm, comfortable nest She wasn't used to keepln' house by herself, neither. Would she remember to wind .the clock on Thursday, and feed the' canary, and water the abutllon and begonias reg'lar? Grimly Samuel took up offense No. 8. Abraham had further told the men that he had been brought over here for a hardening process; but he was willing to bet that if Samuel could keep up with him, he could keep up with Samuel. Then followed offense on offense. Was Samuel to be outdone on his own one-time field of action by an old Jadiee* darling? No! When Abe sat for a half-hour in the lookout, up in the freezing, cold cupola, and did duty "jest to be smart," Samuel sat there on top of his own, feet, too. When Abe helped drag out the apparatus cart over the heavy sands for the drill, Samuel helped, too. And how tugging at that rope brought back his lumbago! When Abe rode In the breecheebuoy, Samuel insisted on playing the sole survivor of a shipwreck, too, and went climbing stiffly and hunberingly up the practise mast Abraham refused to take a nap after dinner; so did SamueL Abe went down to the outdoor carpenter shop in the grove and planed a board just for the love of exertion.

He heard the keeper rattling papers in the office just across the threshold, heard him say he was about to turn in, and guessed Samuel had better do likewise; but Samuel kept on counting. Count, count went the arraigning fingers. Gradually he grew drowsy, but still he went over and over poor Abe's offenses, counting on until of a sudden he realised that he waa no longer numbering the sins of his companion; he was measuring in minutes the time he must spend away from Blossy and Twin Coves, and the begonias and the canary and'the eat What would Blossy say if she could feel the temperature of the room in which he was supposed' to sleep? What would,Blossy say if she knew how his back ached? Whatever would Blossy do to Abe Rose if she could suspect how he had tuckered out her "old man?" "He's a regTar boat," brooded, SamueL "Oh, my feet!" grabbing at his right boot T H bet yer all I got it's them air chilblains. That's what," he added, unconsciously speaking aloud.

Leetle breath «' fresh alrll make us sleep splendid." He started up from the couch, but dropped back, too heavy with weakness to carry off his bravado. Samuel, however, not noticing the discrepancy between speech and action, was already at the door leading upstairs. "Yew don't drag me out o' this station ternlght, Abe Rose. Tew're a reg'lar hoss; that's what yew be. A reg'lar hoss! A reg'lar—a reg'lar—" He flung open the door and went trudging as fast as his smarting feet could carry him up the steep and narrow steps, wherein the passing of other feet for many years had worn little hollows on either Bide. Abraham limped from the couch to the door himself, and called after him: "Sam'I, don't yew want tew sleep by the fire? Tew seem a leetle softer than I be. Let me come upstairs." There was no answer beyond the vicious slamming of Samuel's boots upon the floor above. Abe raised his voice strain, and now came in answer a roar of wroth from the cot next \o Samuel's. "Go to bed!" shouted No. 6, a burly, red-headed Irishman. "Go,to bed wid ye!

"Boys, you shouldn't have woke up Cap'n Rose," he said reprovingly. "I'm afraid, sir," turning to Abraham, "that you find our manners pretty rough after your life among the old ladies." Abe dropped his eyes In confusion. Was he never to be rid of thoBe apron strlngB?" "Well, there's worse things than good women," proceeded the captain. "I wish we had a few over here." He i CHAPTER XVI. "A Reg'lar Hoss." Abe flung himself back on his hard couch, drew the thick, gray blanket over him, and straightway fell Into a deep, childlike slumber from which he was aroused by the rough but hearty inquiry: "Say, Cap, like to have some Oyster stew and a cup of coffee?" Abe sat up, rubbing his eyes, wondering since when they had begun to serve oyster stew for breakfast on the beach; then he realized that he he bad not overslept and that it was not morning. The clock was striking twelve, the midnight patrol was just going out and the returning "runners" were bidding him partake of the food they had just prepared to cheer them after their cold tramp along the surf. The old man whiffed the smell of the coffee, tempted, yet withheld by the thought of Angy's horror, and the horror of the twenty-nine sisters. "Cap'n Abe"—Clarence Havens, No. 5, with a big Iron spoon In his hand and a blue gingham apron tied around his bronzed neck, put him on his mettle, however—"Cap'n Abe, I tell yew, we wouldn't have waked no other fellow of your age out of a Bound sleep. Cap'n Darby, he .could snooze till doomsday r but we kriowed you wouldn't want to miss no fun agoing." "Cap'n Sam'I does show his years," Abe admitted.

Law, I wish I had a dollar apiece for all the eyester stews I've et on this here table 'twlxt sunset an' sunrise." Under the stimulus of the unaccustomed repast Abe expanded and began to tell yarnB of the old days on the beach—the good old days. His cheeks grew red, his eyes sparkled. He smoked and leaned back from the table, and ate and drank, smoked and ate again. "A week amongst yew boys," he asserted gaily, "is a-goin' tew be the makin' of me. Haow Saml kin waste so much time in sleep I can't understand." "I dont think he is asleep," said No. 3. "When I was upstairs jest now fer my slippers, I heard, him kind o' sniffln' inter his piller.

That's why there's so many young fellows in the service nowadays; married men with families wori't take the job." "Them empty cottages out thar," admitted Abe, pointing to the window, "does look kind o' lonesome a-goin' ter rack an' ruin. Why, the winter 1 was over here every man had his wife an' young 'una on the beach, ^'cept me an' Sam'U' Again the keeper sighed, and drew his coverlid closer. "Now, it's just men, men, nothing but men. Not a petticoat in five miles; and I tell you, sometimes we get mad looking at one another, don't we, boys?" The two young men had ^obered, and their faces also had taken on that look engendered by a life of dull routine among sand hills at the edge of a lonely sea, with seldom the sound of a woman's voice in their ears or the prattle of Httle children. "For two months last winter nobody came near us," said Havens, "and we couldn't get off ourselves, either, halt the time.

One hundred sears ago a big celebration in honor of the emancipation of Holland was held In Albany, NT 7. Word that the Hollanders had succeeded in throwing off the French yoke and had proclaimed the prince of Orange sovereign prince of the United Netherlands, had just reached America, though the events' had taken place two months previously. Albany, which was originally called Fort Orange, had been settled by the Dutch in the early part of the seventeenth century. Many of the descendants of these original settlers still lived in the city and its vicinity. By these people the news of the emancipation of the mother country was received with great rejoicing. Celebrations similar to that In Albany were held about the same time in New York city, in Philadelphia and in other places wnere large colonies of Hollanders were <a> eluded in the population, A Question.

The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial ol strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover.

Local News Mrs. H. F. Sigler and Mrs. Hattie Decker accompanied their sister, Mrs. Jas. Segee, to Detroit Wednesday morning. There, Airs. Segee will join parties from Howell who will go with her to her home in Bradentown, Florida. Tuesday evening, John B. Ratto opened the first number on the lecture course given nnder auspices of the ladies of the Cong'l. church. The house was packed, due to the enthusiastic work on the part of the ladieB to make the course a financial success against all odds. Mr. Ratto's entertainment was excellent. It seemed as though not Mr. Ratto, alone, was giving the entertainment, but that he had a whole company of entertainers at his beck and call.

Dancer & Company StockbridSe, Mich. v How Otona SoorasV . In "Milton and^Homespun" la this amusing English fox bunting story: "Hold hard, madam! For teayen'1 sake hold hard or that camel yon are riding will be the death of some of my hounds!" cried the choleric master of one of the southeastern counties' packs of foxhounds to a lady who was riding rather too close to hounds. Without deigning to turn her bead she steered her mount a little to the left and clear of the hounds rode her own line like a centaur, led the van through a long and very fast run and was the first of tue field to see the fox rolled over in the open. Having recovered from his temporary fit of churlishness and delighted with the manner in which the lady had ridden, the master approached her, somewhat sheepishly it must be confessed, with the "brush" and an apology. "Pray, don't apologize, sir," was the smiling reply. "You simply mistook my favorite hunter for a camel, and 1 your foxhounds for fox terriers, it seems we were both mistaken. Thanks awfully for the brush." PETTYSV1LLE STORE Offers the Following Sale 19c 55c John O'Groat's House.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, November 12, 1914 No. 46 * . I1*'- •• * • Potterton-Dunning edding occared at w re. Addie Potter- "^ toninTwK^lilig^when her daughter Ruth, became the bride of Myrou W. Dunning, on Wednesday afternoon, November 11 at •one o'clock. Rev. L. W. Oatrander performed the wedding -ceremony in the presence of the immediate .relative* of the bride and groom, after which a simple buffet luncheon waa served to the gaests. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Dunning of this place. He is one of Pinek. ney's hustling young business men -and is well and favorably known in this community. The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. Addie Potterton, also of this village. ,She is one of Pinckney's fairest yoang ladies and has a host of friends. Both young people are gradnates of the Pinckney high school. In fact the romance which culminated in their marriage Wednesday, -began daring school days. After a snort wedding trip Mr* iind, Mrs. Dunning will be at home in mis village after December 1st. They have a bright outlook upon life and their many friends wish them happiness in the journey. State Is Quarantined "the discovery of foot aud mouth disease among some of the fine herds of cattle in Southern Michigan has oftused the Department of Agriculture at Washington to places quarantine on^ Michigan until the mcourge has been lulled off. Just as the quarantine became efiective a movement had been started to send some fine cattle from Livingston county to the Ohio Land and Livestock Exposition to be held in Toledo, Ohio, in the near futare, the quarantine however has made this impossible. Reed and Knowles have a consignment of cattle in the pavillion at Chicago which have been placed under quarantine. They were to have been shown at the coming live stock Exposition in that city. They were well at last reports and had just completed a tour of the fairs. Herb Ackley has a bunoh of cattle in the stock yards at Detroit that IB qlow of sale as a result of the quarantine. In some of the southern counties; the farmers have suffered heavy losses as a result of the disease but everything is being done to stamp out the malady.^-Tidings.. Back to the Smoke House Farmers \o *U psfrts of the c o u n t r ^ j ^ ^ interest an etjttfiatsit wjfak is being made in ^fc»al» county, Georgia. The Georgia farmers objected to the commercial system under which they were receiving but seven and eight cents a pound for the pork which they raised, while they saw ham and bacon of commerce retailing in their own markets for 25 cents a pound. They resolved to re-establish the antebellum smokehouses on their farms and immediately carried the resolution into effect. Through cooperation they commenced marketing their products in the finished form. They find that the profits which they make from curing their own meats are relatively larger, considering the time and expense involved, than ' those which they were receiving from marketing hogs on the hoof. The remarkable thing about this profitable experiment is that it has not been worked out in any of the grain centers or near any of the country's great markets, but in a remote county in the extreme southerti part of Georgia, in a "one crop" section, aud that crop cotton. e^sE Card of Thanks I wish to thank the patrons of the poatoffioe. and all those with whom-my work has been done, for the seventeen years and wore that I have been connected with the Department, for yenr untfoVm kindest-and consideTetion, yonr patience with my mistakes, and Apptffoiatioii of "my honest efforts/ W* jhanka to the neighbors and Henry M.

Nearly all his life was spent in the township of Mtlford ustil Ins. marriago to Christiana Gamble on January 3, 1866. The following spring they settled on a farm in Marijn wher3 they resided until the death of his wife in '03. To this union two children were born, Mrs. Ohas, Teeple of Pinckney and W. H. Padley of Reardon, Washington. For the past eleven years, Mr. Padley had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Cbas* Teeple in this village. Besides the son and daughter, there remains a large .circle of friends to mourn the loss of a man who was a friend to many, an enemy to none. The funeral was held from bis late residence last Thursday, Rev, Camburn, officiating. Interment was made in the Pinckney cemetery.

CHAPTER XVI—Continuod. The keeper went into the office with * somewhat hurried "Good-night," and •con Abe found himself alone again, the light In the kttohen beyond, no sound in the room save that of the "Dooming of the surf, the rattling of jthe windows, and now and again the Call of a clinker in the stove. The old man was surprised to find [that he could not fall back into that blissful slumber again. Not sleeping, Ihe had to think. He thought and; (thought—sober night thoughts—while the oysters "laid like a log in his atummick" and the coffee seemed to stir his brain to greater activity. "Suppose," said the intoxicated brain, "another big storm should swoop down upon you and the bay should break up, and you and Samuel should be imprisoned on the beach for two or three Inoaths with a handful of men-folks!" "Moo! Moo!" roared the breakers ton the shore.- "Serve you right for Loading fault with the sisters!" Come to think of it, if he had not jbeen so ungracious of Miss Abigail's {concern for him, he would now be in {possession of a hop pillow to lull him pack to sleep. Well, he had made hie [bed, and he would have to lie on it, Although it was a hard old carpet-covered lounge. Having no bop pillow, jhe would count sheep- One sheep going over the fence, two Isheep, three— How tired he was! ;How his bones ached! It's no use [talking,'you can't make an old dog do ithe tricks of his puppy days. What lan idiot he had been to climb that practise*mast! If he had fallen and broken his leg? Four sheep. Maybe he was too old for gallivanting, after all. Maybe he was too old for anything except Just to be "mollycoddled" by thoughtful old ladies. Now, be honest with yourself, Abe. Did you enjoy yourself today— no, yesterday? Did you? Well, yes and—no! Now, if Angy had been along! Angy!' That was why he^could not go to sleep! He had forgotten to kiss her good-by! Wonder if she bad noticed it? Wonder if she had missed him more on account of that neglect? Pshaw! what nonsense! Angy knew he wa'n't no hand at kissin', and' It was apt to give him rheumatism to bend down so far as her sweet, old mouth. He turned to the wall at the side of the narrow lounge, to the emptiness where her pillow should be. "Goodnight, mother," he muttered huskily. Mother did not answer for the first time in nights beyond the counting. Mother would not be there to answer for at least six nights to come. A iweek, thought this old man, as the other nf. man had reflected a few ho die uefore, is a long time when one has passed his threescore years and ten, and with each day sees the shadows growing longer. Abraham put out his hard timeshrunken hand and touched in thought his wife's pillow, as if to persuade himself that she was really there In her place beside him. He remembered when first he had actually touched her pillow to convince himself that she was really there, too awed and too (happy to believe that his youth's bad come true; and he rexnemnow how his gentle, strong had crept along the linen until It capped itself around her cheek; and the had felt the cheek grow hot with blushes In the darkness. She had not ibeen "mother" then; she had been "dearest!" Would she think that he Iwas growing childish If he should call jher "dearest" now. Smiling to himself, he concluded {that he would try the effect of the ten- Ida? term when he reached home again. jHe drew his hand back, whispering lOAce more, "Good-night, mother." JThen he fancied he could hear her say (In her soft, reassuring tone, "Goodmight father."

' ^ ' v f c l « , It would be attar he had said He shivered as he drew close to the fire, and asked in one breath for a prescription for chilblains and where might Abe be. Abe's lounge was empty and his blankets neatly folded upon it. The sunrise patrol from the east, who had just returned, made reply that he had met Captain Abe walking along the surf to get up an appetite for his grlddlecakai and salt park. Samuel sat down suddenly on the lounge and opened his month. "Didn't he have enough exercise ylst'day, for mercy's sake! Pot' nigh killed me. I was that tired ms' night I couldn't sleep a wink. I declar\ ef 'twan't fer that fool newspaper acomln' out ternight I'd go home terday. Yer a-gwlne acrost hain't yer, Havens?" Havens laughed in response. Samuel glowered at him. "I want home comforts back," he vowed sullenly. "The beach hain't what it used ter be. Goin' on a picnic with Abe Rose is like settin' yer teeth into a cast-iron stove lid covered with a thin layer o' puddln'. I'm a-goln' home." Th,e keeper assured him that no one steel against the ice over the shining surface of the bay. "Law, yes," Samuel eased his conscience; "of course they will They couldn't hurt him, anyhow. I -never seen anybody take so kindly ter hardenin' as that air Abe." CHAPTER XVIII. Samuel's Welcome. The shore at Twin Coves was a somewhat lonely spot, owing to stretches of marshland and s sweep of pine wood that reached almost to the edge of the water. Samuel, however, having Indicated Jbat he wished to be landed at the foot of a path through "the pines, found himself on the home shore scarcely ten minutes after he had left Bleak Hill—Havens already speeding toward his home some miles to the eastward, the bay seemingly deserted except for his sail, a high wind blowing, and the enow beginning to fall in scattered flakes. Samuel picked up bis grip, trudged through the heavy sand of the narrow beach, and entered the sweetsmelling pine wood. He was stiff with cold after the rough, swift voyage; his feet alone were hot—burning hot with chilblains. Away down in his heart he was uneasy lest some harm should come to Abe and the old man be caught In the approaching storm on the beach. But, oh, wasn't he glad to be home! His house was still half a mile away; but he was once more on good, solid, dry land. "Ill tell Blossy haow that air Abe Rose behaved," he reassured himself, when he pictured his wife's astonished and perhaps reproachful greeting, "an'* then she won't wonder that I had ter quit him an' come back." He recollected that Angy would be there, and hoped fervently that she might not prove so strenuous a charge as Abraham. Moreover, he hoped that she would not so absorb Blossy's attention as to preclude a wifely ministering to his aching feet and the application of "St. Jerushy lie" to his lame and sore back. The torture of the feet and back made walking harder, too, than he had believed possible with' the prospect of relief eo near. As he limped along he was forced to pauBe every now and again and set down the carpetbag, sometimes to rub his back, sometimes to seat himself on a stump and nurse for a few moments one of those demon- possessed feet Could he have made any progress at all if he had not known that at home, no matter if there wae -company, there would at least be no Abe* Rose to keep him going, to spur him on to unwelcome action, to force him to prove himself out of sheer self-respect the equal, if not the superior, in masculine strength ? Abe had led him that chase over, at the station, Samuel was convinced, "a-purpose" to punish him for having so soundly berated him when he lay abed. That was all the thanks you ever got for doing things for "some folks." Samuel hobbled onward, his brow knit with angry resentment Did ever a half-mile seem so long, and had he actually been only twenty-three hours from home and Blossy? Oh, oh! his back and his feet! Oh, the weight of JUkt bag! How much he needed sleep! How good it would be to have Blossy tuck aim under the covers, and give him a hot lemonade with a stick of ginger in ttt .^-.- HQood-night, mother," to Angy tad felts* she bad said -Good-night fate him,* and that they might its** somewhere, somehow, together • ™ * God, saying.

This one and sight with Abe had been equal the revelations of a dosen The next time Samuel tried to do good to anybody more than sixty-five, he'd know i t The next time he was per* snaded into leaving his wife for over night, he'd "know that, too. Various manuals for the young husband, which he had consulted, to the contrary notwithstanding, the place for a married man was at home. Samuel sat down on a fallen tree which marked the half-way point between his place and the bay. The last half of the Journey would seem shorter, and, at the end, there would be Blossy smiling a welcome, for he never doubted but that Blossy would be glad to see him. She thought a good deal of him, nor had she been especially anxious for that week of separation. His face smoothed its troubled frowps into a look of shining anticipation— the look that Samuel's face had worn when first he ushered Blossy into his tidy little home and murmured huskily: . "Mis' Darby, you're master o' the vessel naow; I'm jest fo'castle hand." Forgetting all his aches, his pains, his resentments, Samuel took a peppermint losenge out of his pocket rolled It under his tongue, and walked on. Presently, as he saw the light of the clearing through the trees, he broke into a run—an old man's trot— thus proving conclusively that hie worry of lumbago and chilblains had in the same way. One of two conclu* been merely a wrongly diagnosed csaej, sions must be drawn from these inciof homesickness. He grinned as he pictured Abe's dismay on returning to the station to find him gone. Still, he reflected, maybe Abe would have a better time alone with the young fellows; he had grown so plagued young himself all of a sudden. Samuel surely need not worry* about him. More and more good-natured grew Samuel's face, until a sociable rabbit peeping at him from behind a bush, • decided to run a race with the old 1 gentleman, and hopped fearlessly out into the open. * (TO BE .CONTINUED.)

Fifteen states sent commissioners to Paris to claim their property, and more than 2,000 pictures were taken from the Louvre, together with almost innumerable statues, ornaments, knickkhacks, and so forth.

Reinforced by thousands of fresh troops, who for three days had been pouring into the region about Ypres, the great German armies hurled them* selves at the British and French forces! strongly entrenched both east and west of Ypres, and fought with a ferocity that showed plainly the desperation of their attack. As to the outcome of the day's fighting, Berlin is silent, the only news from the German capital during the day referring to Saturday's developments. Paris, 'however, in Its night communique, declares the German attack to have been without result. Paris Claimed Important Gains. The Paris official reports of the fighting indicate that the Allies are driving tide Germans from the fortified crests along the Aisne, the bulwark of the invaders' extended line in northern France. ElBewhere, from Ypres to the Croonne region, the Allies made slight advances of firmly held theif* ground, but the important feature of the government's latest statement is the successful attask by the Allies northeast of Soissons. Sunday they claim they drove the Germans from the plateau of Vregny, the most notable advance in that region which has been attained since the siege operations began seven weeks ago. Previously, for a month, the French, had been slowly and at painful efforts winning the advanced trenches of the Germans above the Aisne, and had seized half of the plateau north of Soissons. The capture of the crest Of Vregyn means that they now have a foothold in the highlands which will enable the heavy French guns to combat the German artillery on equal terms. Italy Prepares to Fight Rome—Italy is sending troops to Tripoli to defend her settlements and territorial possession, for Turkey has disregarded the promise made to Italy by Germany that the Porte would not threaten Italian colonies and that Turkey had no designs on Tripoli.

Prop Cure For Nosebleed. 1 sometimes read in the daily papers of death caused by bleeding at the nose. Here is a cure discovered by me and not known or practiced by any physician. 1 am an old shipmaster, have tried it in a number of cases and uever knew it to fall. It is very simple. Any one can perform the operation. Place the patient in a sitting position or propped up in bed. and with the forefinger press gently iu the hollow of the throat just above the breast boue. and the bleeding will gradually cease. To avoid bleeding at the nose, espe* daily in the case of children, get a large bead the size of a large marble, put it on a silk or woolen string and tie it around the neck so that the bead hangs in the hollow of the throat and wear it night and day—New York Sua. A Remarkable 8tork. The whale billed stork is found on a lake south of the White Nile. The lake has never l>een mapped and is bordered by extensive swamps. It is hard to tell where swamp ends and lake begins, for most of the water surface is covered with a dense mat of tangled vegetation. Ou this mat the whale billed stork builds its nest. It is a very rare bird and is known to the Arabs as the Father of the Shoe, because of its huge shoe shaped bill. It is of solitary habits, blackish gray in color, with wide spreading long toed feet adapted for standing on the quaking surface of a Moating field of vegetation. Its habits are sluggish, and it lives mainly on tish. Colonel Roosevelt describes it as "limiting sedately in muddy shallows or standing motionless for hours, surrounded by reed beds or by long reaches of treacherous ooze." Downfall of an Astronomer. M. Gudule was the aged cook of the French astronomer Lalande. Like many meu of distinction In his country and era, Lalande at one time dabbled a little in the culinary art himjelf. lie contrived a sauce or two which Gudule pronounced promising for au amateur, and he was au expert maker of salads, which be was wont to prepare at table for the delectation of his guests. "But there is now no more of that,'' Gudule lamented. "With bis head full of miserable stars be hardly knows oil from vinegar. lie makes no more salads, the unhappy man. and those which 1 prepare for him with the utmost care and serve charmingly—salads to tempt' a king—ho devours without a glance, without a word, without savoring, without appreciating, as if they were no more than boiled cabbage!

Bravery of the Belgians. When Caesar tn his "Commentaries" prououueed the Belgue the bravest of all the Gauls he was merely recording the reputation that they had earned on many a battlefield and which they maintained even iu defeat. Caesar overwhelmed more thnn a quarter of a million of them in the year 57 B. C. on the banks of the Aisne. After the crushing defeat on tli .• Alsne Severn I I tribes, headed*by the Nervil, made a i last stand on the Sam ore, taking the offensive against the Roman legion.-; and very nearly defeating them by the "intensity of their onslaught. But the training and discipline of Rome saved Caesar, and the final result of the heroic resistance of the Nervil was their practical annihilation. Their peace emissaries said, "Of <*A) senators we have lost all but three; of 60,000 fighting men but 500 remain." It is from this stock that the Belgians of today are descended.—F. J.

In this operation they took 200 prisoners. The greatest advantage which will come to the allies by the fall of Tslng Tao will be the release of the fleets now before that stronghold. They will be freed to take part in naval activity in other seas. It has been announced that the release of these vessels will be followed by an active campaign to drive the German cruisers which have been raiding shipping in all parts of the world from the high seas.

Several villages surrounding that city have been burned to the ground. The fighting in that region of northern France continues night and day, but thus far the Germans have balked the efforts of the allies to drive them from Lille. 1,750,000 Germans Lost. London, Nov. 6.—Hilaire Belloc, war expert in Land and Water, estimates that the German losses up to date amount to about 1,750,000 men. He says that he arrived at these figures by scientific calculations. "I know," he writes, "that the figure looks Btartlingly large, but It would be easy, by a little manipulation to make out much larger totals. I ONE OF THE GREAT AUSTRIAN SIEGE GUNS The Austrian army, as well as the German, is supplied with enormous siege guns, some of which were used in the siege of Antwerp. One of thes e heavy howitzers, with a group of Austrian officers, is here shown. killed and eight wounded, including two majors, and 200 Japanese killed and 878 wounded. Naval Battle In Progress. San Francisco, Nov. 7.-That the naval battle off the coast of Chile, the first engagement of which last Sunday V proved so disastrous to the British, has been renewed is indicated in private advices today to prominent British shipping agents here from their correspondents in Valparaiso.

No serious demonstrations of the Mohammedan population are {eared in India. Many Loyal to Britain. The great majority of the followers of Islam there are said to be loyal to Great Britain. This statement Is borne out by the proclamation issued by the Nlsam of Hyderabad, who is perhaps the most Important Moslem potentate In India, calling upon all Moslems in that country to remain loyal to Great Britain. His proclamation reads: "K U the bounden duty of the Mohammedans of India to adhere to their old and tried loyalty to the British government in which power they eajoy the highest personal and religions liberty, such as they would under no Moslem or noa^Mosiem pewor."

(245) STANDARD OIL COMPANY ( & & $ & ) Chicago, DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES Speaker Says Newspapers 8hould Investigate Merits of Medicines Before Barring Advertisements. That an organized attempt has been made to blacken the reputation of the popular family remedies of this country, and to mislead the newspaper publishers Into rejecting the advertising of such medicines, was the charge made by Carl J. Balliett, of Buffalo, N. T., at the convention of the Advertising Affiliation at Detroit Mr. Balliett is a director of the Proprietary Association of America, which includes In its membership two hundred firms which make the popular prepared medicineB of America. Mr. Balliett pointed out that It is the duty of the newspaper publisher to refuse the advertising of any fake or fraudulent medicine, Just as It is his duty to refuse any fake or fraudulent advertising, but it is not right to shut down on all medical advertising becausg, there have been some fakers, any more than it would be right to refuse to publish all department store advertising because certain stores have made^a practice of lying abou^t bargain sales. Disease and death are mysteries. People who are perfectly well are skeptical. They laugh at the timeworn patent medicine Joke, just as they laugh again and again over the many variations of the operation joke 'The operation was a success but the patient died." This so-called httmor has perhaps hurt the medicine business with well people, but when the hitherto healthy man feels a severe pain or illness, he immediately wants medicine, and will bless the cure whether it be at the hands of a regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteopath, a Christian Scientist or patent medicine. There is nothing more deadly than afsease; nothing more honorable than to cure U. Mr. Balliett refuted the idea sought to be spread about that patent medicines are unpopular by showing that from 1900 to 1912 the amount of prepared medicines consumed In America Increased from 1100,000,000 to $160,- 000,000 annually. He showed that, although the American Medical'Association is trying as an organization to exterminate so-called patent medicines, the family doctor, individually, Is not fighting them but prescribing them. He estimated that 40% of the prescriptions written by doctors today include proprietary medicines. The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, he said, have also aimed to destroy confidence in proprietary medicines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are not Infallible is shown by cases where his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr. Balliett mentioned a case where, with all the power of the Government, he fought a preparation as being dangerous to health, and was ingloriously walloped. There has been spread the idea that a clever faker can mix a few useless ingredients and, by smart advertising* sell tons of it and win sudtfen wealth; whereas, as a matter of fact, the medicine business is notoriously difficult and, where there has been one success at it, there have been a hundred failures. Any medicine, which has no merit cannot live, because persons who are duped into buying it once will not buy it again* and the profit from advertising a medicine can only come from repeat sales to the same, satisfled people. Therefore, any medicine which has been on the market for a number of years, and is still advertised, must have mejit behind it to account for its success. In conclusion Mr. Balliett declared that no newspaper is doing justice to Its readers in the matter of medical or other advertising, unless it investigates, not only the wording of the advertisement ottered for publication, but the merits of the article advertised. He pointed out that the few newspapers who have been deluded Into the policy of barring out medical advertising have adopted this general policy, rather than to form an Investigation bureau of this kind which could, In a constructive and useful effort investigate and decide what is a good product and what is a fraud* in not only the medicine business, but In every other business which advertises its wares to the public. The audience seemed to agree with Mr. Balliett's ideas on the subject and the chairman decided the question at issue in his favor. Suburbanite's Woes.

Astrology finds this a day in which tile planetary conditions are comparatively unimportant. Neptune, Mercury Y>, and Uranus are all mildly adverse, while the sun is slightly beneflc in aspect There is a sinister omen tor shipping, which may be Imperiled even more than in the past. Bad weather i s prognosticated and loss through a t o m s as well as in the fortunes of war is foretold. In this connection it Will be recalled that the prognostications of wholesale drownings made In the spring haVe been strangely ful- \ filled. It is not a fortunate time for contracts and agreements of sort, for unexpected events will make difficult the carrying out of plans of commercial importance. It is prophesied, however, that merchants and bankers will reap large rewards after many anxieties, but they will have to cope with the unexpected. Uranus is in a place held to indicate a temporary cessation of research and study in abstract science and In abstruse philosophies-. The stars presage better times for France. Neptune has entered the ruling sign of the country and "protection and gradual access of power" are foreshadowed. There is a sinister sign for an Ameri- -can, who has held exalted positions. He will surrender prestige and become unpopular because of ill-advised and impetuous acts and utterances. This month will be exceedingly unlucky for aim and he will suffer severely from mental and physical conditions. Again a great national feminist movement is presaged by the stars. This is not political, the seers declare. Persons whose birthdate it is have the prognostication of change that will bring success, and prosperity. Children born on this day will enjoy life. They may be high-spirited and headstrong, but they will be able to dominate circumstances and to command success. ' FRIDAY, NOVEMBER-M, 1914. vu - * - * « «•.', f "<• -vU- - • S *r He who works early will best succeed today according to the prognostications of the astrologers. Although Saturn exercises an evil influence before daybreak, Mars, Uranus, Mercury and Venus are in beneflc aspect in the morning hours of work. In the afternoon the sun is adverse. It is held that the planets presage a winter of great trial to the peopto of all nations, who will suffer poverty and^ illness. The seers agree on general predictions of distress, but a London astrologer sees that again Daniel's prophecy Is to be fulfilled and that a certain king shall see his kingdom "broken and divided to the four winds and not to his posterity nor acording to his dominion which he ruled for his kingdom." .There is an encouraging sign for women today. In business and professional affairs they should benefit They will organize in new enterprises and will accomplish much for the benefit of humanity in the next year. Romance is subject to most encouraging conditions. The stars Indicate a - growth of sentiment and return to less mercenary standards of marriage than have prevailed recently. Advertising is governed favorably during this configuration. Publicity should be profitable to promoters of world interests, , The afternoon is not a fortunate time.for diplomacy or for seeking aid *or advice from persons In high place. Dealers in hardware, hunters, fishermen and woodsmen are subject to kicky guidance today. Among those on whom Mars smiles are arcUUects, stonemasons, carpenters, launderers and tobacconists.

Much competition In all vocations is foretold, but out of great exigencies will grow large achievements. Actors, singers, painters and sculptors should benefit in the morning. They have the prognostication of prosperous days after the new year is becoming old. There 1B a prophecy that the United States will become the new center of artistic life and that music will claim serious attention from the nation. Theaters are under a government of the stars, which presages many changes In the personnel of managers and players. The outlook Is not good for American actors this month or next, but there is promise of ultimate gain in the development of new forces now artwork. Under this sign preparers of medicine are believed to prosper. There is a prediction that American chemists are to win fame and fortune. Fame for a woman who will dictate the fashions is prophesied, but whether she will succeed as a designer or merely as a demonstrator of modes is not made plain by the seers. Astrologers who read the signs for South America find little forecast of rapidly Increasing trade with the United States, which will be slow to utilize opportunity, it Is declared. Bankers are subject to planetary sway which is said to indicate obstacles and problems of grave character. Socialism Is, well, a specter. It will gather astonishing power, the seers declare,- owing to a still-unwritten page of history, which is to change public opinion. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of rather a prosperous year. There is a warning agalnBt possible indiscretion in dealings w*th persons of opposite sex. Children born on this day are likely to enjoy life. Boys should be successful in whatever vocations they choose. Girls probably will be great belles... 8UNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1914. This Is a day of contradictory influences, according to astrology. While Neptune, Saturn and Uranus are all adverse, Venus and the sun are in ben efio aspect. Mars changes from evil to good. The best aspect of the day is for earnest, enthusiastic minds that seek to solve big —problems. The sun gives domination, power, vigor and foresight. Rulers and all who have the destinies of nations in their keeping should benefit. It is a fairly good day for women, who should be fortunate In their love affairs. Marriages and engagements are subject to a good ruling. Neptune presages danger from schemers. Fraud and misrepresentation are believed to flourish under this rule. It is predicted that crimes that have to do with money will multiply during the winter. Uranus is in place held to be most ^unfortunate for those who should use good judgment. Important decisions should be delayed until a more auspicious time. The planets do not give any assurance of speedy ending of war. There is prophecy of a winter campaign more terrible than any that has ever been endured. The seers declare that the crossing of the Alps by Napoleon's army produced less suffering than will be endured during the coming winter. Persons whose birthdate It is are advised to avoid too much diversion. have a prosperous yetr. Those who are employed will 'benefit The young will become engaged or will marry. Children born on this day may have dispositions that are mercurial and difficult to deal with, but they will have bright minds and should succeed In life.

According to the reading of the stars, this is rather an unimportant day. Jupiter is In beneflc aspect, but Saturn is adverse, and it is wise to exercise caution. The rule is fairly good for bankers, merchants, and lawyers, who should find the day's activities important chiefly because they lead taJ>roadened fields of industry.

Persons whose blithdate It Is have the augury of a successful year. Both men and women will prosper financially. Young persons will have romances. Children born on this day should prosper all through life. They will enjoy work as well as play. Boys should like outdoor sports and have great physical strength. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1914. This is rather an unfortunate day, for while in the early hours. Mercury and Saturn are in beneflc aspect, the sun and Venus are strongly adverse later. It is a most unlucky time for seeking positions or for attempting any enterprise depending upon the assistance of men in power, financially or commercially. Women are warned to be cautious. The planets indicate that the next few months will not be favorable to feminist movements or to agitation along reform lines. Astrologers hold that, owing to the great loss of men in the European war, women will be forced into prominence in many lines of work, but they foresee danger in any tendency to force great issues. The death of a woman prominent in society and philanthropic activities is foretold. She has attained world-wide fame, it Is said, and her loss will be mourned in other countries. Saturn today gives encouragement to agriculturists, florists, miners and all who find wealth in the ground. The new year will bring prosperity to all who sell land, or till It, the seers declare. It le an exceedingly unlucky day for love affairs. Domestic conditions are likely to be disturbed while this rule prevails. Vanity, Indulgence in useless luxuries, and selfishness are believed to be produced in persons susceptible to the influence of Venus, when the star is unfriendly. Self-control Bhould be practiced while the government prevails. Jupiter is believed to presage the passing of laws favorable to labor and industry, but strikes are foretold. Persons whose birthdate it is may have worries in the family circle. Men should be wise in conducting their affairs. Children born on this day have rather a menacing omen. They may often need money, and they will demand much of life. These subjects of Sagittarius should be honorable, persevering, and not easily discouraged •A* WEDNE8DAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1914» Good and evil balance in the scales today, according to the reading of the stars. While Mercury is in a place strongly beneflc in its influence, Mars rules stubbornly for evil. Neptune is slightly adverse and Jupiter rather favorable.

"My husband is missing," declared the stern-faced woman, marching into the police station.- "Indeed!" "Yes, indeed. He's been missing since yesterday. Don't stand staring; make a note of it. Since yesterday, I say!" "I'm sorry, ma'am." "When I want your sympathy I'll ask for it. Till then be good enough to keep your mouth shut. Now, where is my husband?" "How should I know?" "You ought to know. What are you paid for? Where is he? Have you no clues?" "Well, ma'am, I have—" "Have you any clues—yes or no, quickly?" "Yes, ma'am; I think I have one." "Out with it. What is it? Come, don't keep me waiting." "Well, ma'am, I think I—I think I know why your husband left home." CLERK DESERVED THE ROSE His Process of Clever Reasoning Was Certainly Well Worth the Decoration. When a telegram arrived at the Waldorf addressed to Mrs. S. Harkins, Edward Glasheen, the information clerk, looked through his .big book and found no person by the name of Harkins was stopping in the hotel. It is a part of his duties, according to the New York Times, to deliver telegrams that at first look undeliverable, and as he studied the address on the telegram, knowing something about the Morse alphabet, he remembered that "h" is four dots and a "p" is five. Whereupon he looked into his big book again and found that Mrs. S. Parkins was stopping in the hotel. When Mrs. Parkins came t o the desk he handed her the telegram and asked if it was for her. She handed it back. "I am sure it is t o t for me," she said. "Would you mind opening and making sure," asked Glasheen. Mrs. Parkins tore open the envelope and glanced at the signature. "Why, It is for me!" she exclaimed. Then Glasheen picked up the rose somebody had just presented to John Woelfle, his assistant, and stuck it In his buttonhole.

During these months "there is little pressing work in rural communities and the attend- 4LQce is consequently the largest. The dates are fixed by the Superintendent of Public Inetrnction ^and the calls are sent out by the •comity school commissioners. \It sometimes happens that because of railroads and train •connections school officers are put ~to considerable inconvenience and •expense to attend the meeting in -their own county where the meeting~ p)aoe of au adjoining county is easily ajcessible. In such cases it might be well to note that these officers maj attend the meeting in ?the adjoining county, receiving the same credit and compensation. However school officers attending meetings outside their own counties should take two certificates of attendance aud file one with their echool commissioner in order that be may check up and give credit to all districts. In the past years the attendance of school officers has come to be uniformly large. Relatively few boards are not represented. Townsbip clerks,too are are finding the discussions at these meetings helpful to them in their work in connection, with the school: Ae school officers are now pretty well veraed in school law more attention is being directed to lines of school policy, administration, instruction, community work, and the vitalizing factors and agencies ot the school. This year a cordial invitation- is extended to patrons. The meetings should be utilized in the largest possible 'way to bring together, state, county and district in the building up of -strong loyal school sentiment that shall increase the support and the efficiency of the school.

WATER, THE Thrte of* Crew Fatally Scalded by Bollar Explosion—Battle of Flandera Goes On, Allies Claiming to Be Successful In Holding Positions— German Cruiser Emden Destroyed —Russians Occupy Gaiictan Towns. London, Nov. 14.—The British dreadaaught Audacious, one of the great sea fighters launched In 1918, has struck a German mine off the coast Of Ireland. Only the presence near by of the White Star liner Olympic saved the vessel's 1,000 officers and men from death by drowning. The Olympic towed the Audacious into Lough Swilly, a small harbor on the North Irish coast. The warship then sank in shallow water. One hundred and forty-seven of the 'Audacious' crew were scalded, three of them fatally. The dreadnaught's boilers were Jurat by the explosion, blowing a gapins hole in her upper works, but not causing sufficient damage to sink her immediately. The Audacious, was completed in 1918, with her sister ship, the AJax, and was a dreadnaught of the King George class. Her displacement was 25,000 tons, her length over all 696 feet She was equipped with ten 18%-lnch guns, SO four-inch guns and three 21-inch torpedo tubes. Allies Hold Positlone. London, Nov. 14.—From the Lye to the sea the battle of Flanders waa carried to the Germans, the French* British and Belgians having resumed the offensive at several points as soon as the energy of the German effort gave signs of being spent. Ypres was the center of the most ferocious fighting. Where on Wednesday the Germans, by force of superior numbers, had been able during a night attack to force their way into Ypres, from which they were expelled with enormous losses on Thursday morning, and where on Thursday night the allies had only been able to hold their own against the rapidly waning German attack, during the day tho allies 'took the offensive* and hurled the enemy back to the east, north end south. Germane Stilt In Dlxmude. An aggregate gain of nearly four miles was made by the allies' attack. To the east a hamlet from which the allies were driven on Wednesday was retaken. In Dlxmude the German detachments still are anchored* The key position—Ypres—is still '.eld by the British troops, who have withstood attacks of unexampled violence with unwavering courage for nearly four weeks. South of Ypres is Armentieres, around which the battle has been continuing with undiminished energy for a fortnight The allies occupy positions east of the town, and between their line and those of the Germans in artillery duel of violent character Is being fought The battle of the Aisne has been revived, and is being refought though with obviously diminishing numbers. v Allies' Progress Slight In the official report of the opera* ttons before Tracy-Ie-Val, which the French have gained after enormous losses on both sides, there is a qualification from which a bit of humor might be extracted in less gruesome circumstances. The statement says: "We have taken possession of Tracy, with the exception of the cemetery northeast of the village," Reports from the battlefield declare the town itself has been converted into a graveyard by the fury of the German night attacks and the connter- assamlts by whioh the allies finally dislodged the invaders, A violent artillery duel, is proceeding In the Arganne.

The report is unofficial, but is published by Russian newspapers with the consent of the censor. Correspondents at the front for Petrograd newspapers telegraph that the Germans made a desperate effort to defend a line of entrenchments- from Kaliscs to Csenstoehowa, but could not stand against the bayonet attacks of the Russian infantry. The victory is said to have been gained largely as the result of the rapidity of the Russians in sending a,large cavalry force around the left wing of General von Hlndenburg's army.

Paris Claims Germans Are Repulsed. Paris—The left bank of the Tser has been cleared entirely of the Germans and a telling defeat was administered by the allies in contact with Invaders on the right bank during the fighting Sunday claim the French. Complete evacuation of the western bank of the canal whioh the Germans have held for so long was announced In the official communique from Bordeaux. The official statement lays the greatest strett, however, on the fighting on the right bank. Here the Germans held strongly advantageous positions at Nieuport and at Dlxmude. The fury of the allies' offensive was directed against the tatter position, which the communique admits is still held by the Germans. •' Unofficial accounts of the fighting described a terrific battle for this position.- The Germans, who had mounted machine guns in the few remaining towers, left the ruined village and cannon had been trained down the thoroughfares leading to the westward and commanding the trenches held by heavily reinforced allies, while from the western edge of the town new and heavily protected trenches had been dug by the Germans. The allies bombarded the Germans In the town from the western bank and under cover of the heavy cannonading, made repeated attempts to cross and take the town on the other side of the canal by storm. The vigor of the artillery and small arms fusilade made the crossing such a perilous effort that the frontal attack finally was abandoned. Russians Active In East. I n the eastern theatre, on the Russian right wing, two armies are advancing toward the East Prussian defense line of Dantzlg-Thorn, with the obvious purpose of holding the River Vistula from the Baltic to Thorn and making any turning movement by the Germans in the north impossible when the central Russian armies now advancing in west Poland against Breslau, are^ ready to strike with full force. The First army holds Stalluponen and the railway line to Gumbinnen and Xnaterburg, and is believed to have occupied probably 25 oV 80 miles of German territory. The Second army, cooperating with great aneray, is advancing in an entirely new line, toward the northwest and has gained a foothold at Soldau, Johannesburg and the region of AHenstein. There are reports that the Germans are attempting an offensive movement from Thorn, where they have concentrated new troops. * . - bLPomnd, there Russian armies are attacking the frontier of Posen and Silesia, concerned for the moment with driving every Gemnah detachment from Polish soil, A force of Russians has broken through the German defense at the Warthc ami-hae pushed an advance guard late the ptovioo of Posen, holding a peslttoa Reduction in Living Costs Made Pce> eible by Perfect Product The sudden and hffrhly alarming toerease In cost of food .necessities, such' as sugar and flour, demand laereaaea domestic economy.

C. Committee. Surprising ^results were obtained Tuesday in Chicago, when, in a distance test on the boulevards, h 1915 big six went 28.7 miles on a gallon of Red Crown gasoline. The test'was made to demonstrate the fuel economy of high test gasoline, by the technical committee of the Chicago Automobile Club. Red Crown gasoline, 58 test was decided upon by the judges and drivers as the best gasoline to be used. All through the trip the dutch was not slipped, except when traffic congestion made it necessary. The dash adjustment on the carburetor waa disconnected, and in order that the test be a fair one, the fan was in operation throughout the run. Next came the acceleration test With the carburetor adjustment the - same as during the economy run, fhe car was driven from standing start to thirty miles an hour in 12 4-6 eeeonds. The flexibility test saw the car run at four miles an hour, fthen speeded up to forty-four. The test proves that the Six is not an excessive fuel consumer, where the best gasoline is used.

The confessions that I am about to make here, unreservedly and without evasion, are prompted only by my desire to show to the people in the smaller cities and towns of America the absolute' folly and unwisdom of the policy of supporting big mall order establishments) at the expense and absolute loss of the hard-working local business men. who are doing their best to, build up their own communities; all of which work benefits and adds to the prosperity of every resident of the home town; at the, same time adding most materially to the value of every foot of real estate In the community. Of the ninety-odd millions of eouls and bodies that inhabit these United States of America a very large pro-' portion live in the country and in small towns and villages. These people are the producers. They raise the grains and foodstuffs and the wool and the* meat, bides, etc Those who live In the big cities are practically all dependent upon the efforts of Ifeose who live in the country, and in the small towns. They do not produce anything in comparison with the work of those who wrest from the soil the bountiful offerings of Nature. It is the work of those who lives in the cities to figure out how they can obtain that which is produced by the country people—*ow they can juggle the values of this product—how much money they can make out of it, eta They do not produce anything. They are the parasites. Without the country people there would be no cities. There would-be no occasion for cities because there would be nothing to support them. So it Is the plan of the universe, as laid down by our rules and laws, that a certain big proportion of the people shall toil and spin while the smaller proportion shall exact the greater part of that which Is produced by the toilers and make a profit sufficient to enable them to live in luxury while fhe toilers toll on, continuously. It is not the toilers and spinners who take the trips to Europe. It it not the toilers and spinners who get up In the morning at due o'clock and who spend their evenings at the theaters, cafes and cabarets, drinking wine end playing cards. The tollers and spinners get out of bed when the family alarm clock out in the hen-house tells them day Is breaking. They have no time for the theater or the cafe or the cabaret. It's a case of "hustle** all the time. It Is vital that every working hour In the day shall be utilized in order to "produce" that which the scheme of our life in the present day provides1 must be produced to keep the whole machinery of civilisation in motion. What would happen to the people In the cities if this whole scheme should become disarranged—if there did not arrive la the cities, oa schedule time vtwf day, the train loans of cattle, grain, milk and all sorts of country produce. And the mall bags, filled with orders for the mail order houses. What' would happen? There would aot loag remain any citizens because they would starve, these parasites, If the source of supplies should be cut off. And all of these supplies come from the oounutry, from the people in this community. Tou do your full share toward supplying the cities. Especially do you send your share of the orderB for the mail order houses, with the cash. There 1B a strange partnership between the people of the country and the people of the city, a partnership which, carefully analyzed, shows the following working agreement: The country people shall delve,and dig and toil and thea hasten to ship their product to the city partner, who takes possession and disposes of the same to the best possible advantage (to himself). He then hands out to the country partner, begrudgingly and frequently only la case of a suit M law, a small part of the proceeds. Then you, the country partner, scad this pittance back to the city, to the mail order house with an order. : Such is the result of a bald and tmvern^ed j»aalysts of the partnership batwaea farm and city, after applying* the> add test Individual exceptions do aot change jar alter the general rule.

Many of the newest tailored suits and frocks are undeniably martial in appearance, and, let it be added, undeniably smart on that account Here, for example, is one In black velvet with collar and cuffs of white fox and buttons and braid—well, no, they aren't brass—for silver is so fashionable, you see, and goes well with black.

Some ordinary morning blouses are a combination of taffeta and pique, the taffeta making the body of the blouse, the pique the collar and the cuffs.

Taking one year with another, the efficiency of Its lands to produce has been well proved. It has not been said of It that year in and year out there were bumper and bounteous crops. If such a condition existed It would be phenomenal In the history of any country- With an extensive territory producing grain, hogs, cattle and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, It is easy to conceive of a wide variation in temperature and climate; there is variation in rainfall and snowfall; every section is not the beat in the district—some are better than others and some worse, but as a general thing, the great percentage is "better." This past year has shown that some portions are not altogether immune from periods of drought. The same may be said of adjoining states to the south. But this year has also shdwn that in the greater portion of Western Canada drought does not appear, but even in the drought-stricken area of this year, past years have shown that the soil produces wonderfully well and even this year, with modern methods, known as "dry-farming," good-crops were harvested. The large number of Americans who during the past sixteen years have been attracted to Canada have not gone simply because of the advertising of that country, but because their friends and their oldtime neighbors have done well there, and with careful and judicious farming almost everyone has done well. As a result of the great influx of immigration the open or prairie homesteading area is being rapidly taken up. The fact that this is so is evidence that Western Canada lands are productive, and on these open plains today are to be seen the hemes of successful farmers from almost every state in the Union. They have earned their patents and now own outright their 160 acrea of land, together probably with an adjoining 160 acres, which they have purchased or pre* empted, ail of which Is worth from $25 to $30 per acre. They originally started by growing grains, altogether, but they found that they could secure a better price for much of their grata by feeding it to hogs and cattle, and the most successful ones are those who have followed this course. But to meet the wants oJ the newcomer a new homestead area has been opened up, known as the "park country/' In this park country are to bo found beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, with sufficient open area to enable one to go Into immediate cultivation of crop, and in due time when they wish more land to be put under cultivation, they may at small cost cut down some of the groves, which in the meantime have been valuable in providing fuel and In giving shelter, to cattle. Notwithstanding the high character of the open prairie lands aad the fact that farmers there have realized in a splendid way, there is v the opinion backed up' by a lot of experience that this parklike country contains soil even better than that of the open area referred to. The opportunities, therefore, for money making are as great today as they ever were. The opportunities for carrying on farming successfully artfully as great as they ever were. 'Of this park area we have an immense quantity of land yet to be settloft It Is true that the railroads have not yet penetrated these districts to the extent that they have the open area, but this will come and as settlements advance, so will railroads build. For the present there is a temporary loll la railroad building, but it is always the case that where there is a demand there will come a supply, and it will not be long before the park country will be penetrated by railroads that will give sufficient accommodation for all needs, but to those who prefer it there are lots of opportunities for purchasing land nearer towns and villages and at low prices aad oa easy terms. Whether one cares to purchase or. homestead it can better be does by paying a visit to the country aad It will repay yoa to spend soma ttttfe time visiting the different distrteta— Advertisement >K Now York selasmau tells of a Non-^iwactrva. stay made by atm ag a westeta toast where ha observed an oJe>fti*iea*d: roller towel. . - *. -l.

"Ah, yew young raacal!" cried 8amaeL "Yew're the feller that eat up all my winter cabbages." At this uncanny reading of hla mind Mr. Cottontail darted off into the woods again to seek out his mate and Inform her that their guilt had been discovered. Finally, Samuel came to the break In the woodland, an open field of rye, green as springtime grass, and his own exquisitely neat /abode beckoning across the gray rail fence to him. How pretty Blossy's geraniums looked in the sitting-room windows! Bven at this distance, too, he could see that she had not forgotten to water his pet abutllon and begonias. How welcome in the midst of this flurry of •now—how welcome to his eye was that smoke coming out of the chimneys 1 All the distress of his trip away from home seemed worth while now for the joy of coming back. Before he had taken down the fencemil and turned into the path which led jto his back door, he was straining his {•ars for the sound of Blossy's voice gossiping with. Angy. Not hearing it, fie hurried the faster. The kitchen door was locked. The ty was not under the mat; it was not the safe on the porch, behind the •tone pickle-pot He tried the door •sjain, and then peered in at the window. Not even the cat could be discerned. The kitchen was set in order, the breakfast dishes pat away, and there [was no sign of any baking or preparations for dinner. He knocked, knocked loudly. No answer. He went to a side door, to the front entrance*, and found the •whole house locked, and no key to be discovered. It was still early In the \ morning, earlier than Blossy would have been likely to set out upon an errand or to spend the day; and then, too, she was not one to risk her health In such chilly, damp weather, with every sign of a heavy storm. ; Samuel became alarmed. He called "Blossy i" No answer. "Mis' >r No answer. "Bsra!" And jetm no sound In reply. Bis alarm tnereased. He went to barn; that was locked and Bsra rhere in sight By standing on tip* jtoe, however, and peeping through a sk tn the boards, he found that his and the two seated surrey were if. "Waal.

Blossy was not there, Angy was not there, nor anyone belonging to the household. But sitting on that very bundle of canvas, stretching his'lean hands over the etove, with Samuel's cat on his lap, was the "Old Hoss"—Abraham Rose! {here, yew an* Angy both, an' spend yer week oat Tea, yes," as Abe would have thanked him.

They're fine; try 'em." With one of those freakish turns of the weather that takes the conceit cut of all weather-prophets, the snow- bad now ceased to fall, the sun was struggling out of the clouds, and the wind was swinging around to the west Neither of the old men could longer fret-about their wives being caught In a heavy snow; but, nevertheless, their anxiety concerning the whereabouts of the women did not cease, and the homesickness which Abe felt for Angy, •The mtoitt* stock!" he mattered; and than low to himself, in an awed whisper: "Tonally Gold! The min*' stock!" - After a while he recovered himself sufficiently to explain that he had not received the telephone message, and therefore knew nothing, "Did I git a offer, mother r "A offer of fifteen dollars a share.

The cat jumped off Abe's lap, run* ning to Samuel with a mew of recognition. Abe turned his head, and made a startled ejaculation. "Sam'l Darby," he said stubbornly, "ef yew've come tew drag me back to that air beach, yew're wastln' time, I won't go!" Samuel closed the door and hung his damp coat and cap over a suit of old oilskins. He came to the fire, Using off his mittens and blowing on his fingers, the suspicious and condemnatory tall of his eye on Abraham. "HaoWd yew git herer he burst forth. "What yew bin an' done with my wife, an' my horse, an' my man, an' my kerridge? Haow'd yew git here? what'd yew come fer? When'd yew git here?" "What'd yew come ferr retorted Abe with some spirit. "Haow'd yew git herer' "None o* yer durn* business." A glimmer of the-old twinkle came back Into Abe's eye, and he began to chuckle. "I guess we might as waal tell the truth, Saml. We both tried to .be so all-fired young yesterday that we got played out, an' concluded unanermoas that the best place fer a A No. 1 spree was ter hum." Samuel gave a weak smile, and drawing up a stool took the oat upon his knee. "Yet," he confessed grudgingly, "I found out fer one that I haini no spring lamb." "Ner me, nuther," Abe's old Ups trembled. "I had eyester-stew an' drunk coffee In the middle o' the ntght; then the four-o'clock patrol wakes me up agin. 'Here, be a sport,'they says, an' sticks a piece o' hot mince pie under my nose. Then I was so oneasy I couldn't sleep. Daybreak I got up, an' went tor a walk ter limber up my belt, an' I sorter wandered over ter the bay side, an1 not a mile oat I see tew men with one o' them big fishin'scooters a-haulln' in their net An' I walked a ways out on the ice, a-signailn' with my bandana han'kercher; an' arter a time they seen me..

An' so, Saml, t gradooated from yer school o' bardenln' on top a ton o* squlrmln' fish, more or less. I thought rd come an' git Angy," he ended with a sigh, "an' yer hired man'd drive us back ter Shorevllle; but thar wa'n't nobody hum but a mewin' cat, an' the only place I oonld git inter was this here shop. Wonder whar the gals has gone?" No mention of the alarm that he must by this time have caused at the station, No consciousness of having committed any .breach against the laws of hospitality. But there was that in the old man's face, in his worn and wistful look, which curbed Samuel's tongue and made him understand that as a little child misses his mother so Abe had missed Angy, an<J as a little homesick child comes running hack to the place he knows heat so Aha wag hastening hack to the shelter he had scorned. So, with an effort, Samuel held his peace, merely resolving that as soon yew, 'cus mebbe 't was a joke, an' to wait till mornin' an' go see SamTs lawyer down ter Injun Head.

Toward noontime they heard the welcome sound of wheels, and on rushing to the door saw Ezra driving alone to the barn. He did not note their appearance in the doorway of the shop; but they could see from the look on his face that nothing had gone amiss. Samuel heard the shutting of the kitchen door, and knew that Blossy was at home, and a strange shyness submerged of a sudden his eagerness to see her. . What would she say to this unexpected return T Would she laugh at ? him, or be disappointed? "Yew go fust," he urged Abe, "an* tell my wife that I've got the chilblains an' lumbago so bad I can't hardly git tew the house, an' I had ter come hum fer my 'St. Jerushy lie' an' her receipt fer frosted feet" CHAPTER XX. The Fatted Calf. Abe had no such qualms as Samuel. He wanted to see Angy that minute, and he did not care if she did know why he had returned. He fairly ran to the back door under the grape arbor, so that Samuel, observing his gait was seised with a fear that he might be that young Abe of the Beach, during his visit after all. Abraham rushed into the kitchen without stopping to knock. "I'm back, mother," he cried, as if that were all the joyful explanation needed. She was struggling with the strings of her bonnet before the looking-glass which adorned Blossy's parlor-kitchen. She turned to him with a little cry, and he saw that her face had changed marvelously—grown young, grown glad, grown soft and fresh with a new excited spirit of jubilant thanksgiving. "Oh, father! Were a t yew s'prised tew git the telephone? X knowed yew'd come a-flyin' back." Blossy appeared from the room beyond, and slipped past them, knowing intuitively where she would find her lord and master; but neither of them observed her entrance or her exit Angy clung to Abe, and Aba held her close. What had happened to her, the undemonstrative old wife? What made her so happy, and yet tremble so? Why did she cry. wetting; his cheek with her tears, when she was so palpably glad? Why had she telephoned for him, unless she, too, had missed tym as he had missed her? Recalling his memories of last night the memories of that long-ago honeymoon- time, he murmured into his gray beard, "Dearest!" She did net seem to think he was growing childish. She was not even surprised. At last she said, half between sobbing and laughing: "Oh, Abe, ain't God been good to us? Ain't it jlst bewtlful to be rich? Rich!" she cried. "RichI" Abe sat down suddenly, and covered his face with his hands.' In a flash he understood, and he could not let even Angy see him In the light of the revelation. 'pear tew think very much of it; but Blossy, she got him ter call up some broker feller In 'York, an' 'Gee whims!' he says, turnin' 'round all excited from the phone. Ten ally Gold is sellin' fer twenty dollars on the curb right this minute!' An* he says, says he: Tew git yer husband, an' bring that air/ stock over this srternoon; an'/ saya he, '111 realise on It fer yer termorrer morninV" . . Abe stared at his wife, sAter shining silk dress with its- darns and careful patches, at her rough, worn hands, and at the much mended lace over her slender wrists. "That mine was closed down 18 years ago; they must 'a' opened it up ag'in;" he spoke dully, as one stunned. Then with a sudden burst of energy, his eyes still oh his wife's figure: "Mother, that dress o' yourn is a disgrace fer the wife of a ftnancierer. Yew better git a new silk fer yerself an' Miss Abigail, tew, fust thing. Her Sunday one hain't nothin* extry." "But yer old beaver,'Abel" Angy protested. "It looks as ef it come out o'the ark!" "Last Sunday yew said it looked splendid;" his tone was absent-minded again. He aeemed almost to ramble br his speech. "We must see that Ishmael gits fixed up comfortable in the Old Men's home; yew remember haow he offered us all his pennies that day we .broke up housexeepln'. An' we must do Bomethtn' handsome fer the Darbys, tew. Ef it hadn't been fer Sam'l, I might be dead naow, an' never know nothin' erbout this here streak o' luck.

"**r GOWN FOR THE YOUNG LADY Diagram Showing the Insulation of sn Ice House for Storing Ice Without Sawdust or Shavings, In harvesting Ice, very different methods are.required for that which is not over four inches thick and ice torn six to fifteen inches in thickless. The tflln Ice generally will be >roken Into fairly regular cakes, rhlch will be loaded aa best they may nto sleds or wagons and hauled to he storehouse. Here they should be irranged to layers and adjusted as folosely M possible. The spaces be- {tween the* cakes should be filled with' with-a saw accurately follow this line. (crushed lee or snow to cause the jwhole mass to freeze Into a block of Joe as so?d as it Is possible to make. It is mora difficult to store and keep loo of this character than that harvested in regular cakes. ( Thin ice is characteristic of the southern Umits of the storage of natural ice. The supply is more or less uncertain and the storage period is long. The irregular form of the cakes makes it difficult to pack the ice so las to prevent air spaces, which may Worm air passages and cause rapid loam. Irregular blocks and cakes are less easily insulated than cakes of uniform sice and thickness. If the mass is stored in a building without packing material about it, insulation must be provided in the construction of the house. The walls must be thick, well packed with mill •havings or dry sawdust, and tightly boarded on both sides of the packing material A space of IS inches between the walls, tightly Pacini *;Ui good in* suiatlng material, is none too much. jAn added safeguard would be to 'double both the outside and Inside [walla, harvesting Ice from six to fifteen In thickness permits the use tools and implements that find no In harvesting thin toe.

Obcakes have some advantages over ones, as they can be lapped break Joints as they are stored formation of air passages in the ice heap. In order to obtain cakes square or rectangular In form, a square made from light strips of boards with straight edges may be used. A square with sides twelve to sixteen feet long will serve the purpose nicely. Draw a line across the ice field parallel with each side of the square and with a hand marker or Easy to Reach the* Dusters. long, and nine wide at the rounded base. The shaped outside piece is slightly larger around than the back piece, ^Blowing the pocket part to bulge slightly. The broom bag ir not a broom cover itself, but a pretty holder for such covers and holds six of these made in canton flannel. The case is Floe Ice. Under certain conditions the only practicable way of obtaining a supply of natural ice is to catch it aa it is going out in the spring. When the snow melts and the spring rains come, the ice at the headwaters of streams breaks up and is carried down in large masses, which can be caught at considerable distances from the localities where it was formed. In this way ice can be obtained at small cost. In the early days many plantations along the Potomac harvested an annual supply of ice of this character and stored it for the most part in pits. Those fortunate enough to live near large streams may often obtain their ice supply in this way. Velvet Dresses Considered Most Appropriate— Changes in the Color • of Neckwear. Velvet dresses for young girls are the smart thing of the afternoon wear. They are made with a long waist and a short skirt, made of^two circular flounces; between these is a satin belt or sash. A collar of pique or lace, cut sailor or rounding, is the usual neck finish. The sleeveless over blouses of velvet that are seen on the grown-up dresses are also a feature of those worn by girls'oTifourteen. They are rather like s^middy blouse in shape, but not so tocg, and the arm-hole is very much enlarged, so that the foundation dress of serge shows. Different shaped buttons not only come in plain colors in dark modish shades, brown, plum, blue and fawns, but are also decorated by odd stripes of a contrasting color. Sometimes there is only one stripe across the center, sometimes it is the button edge that has pendllike lines of s deeper or lighter color. The Suit coats are made both in the long and in the short lengths. Some of the smart models are of the redingote type, the coat reaching the three-quar ter length. Some of the lace guimpes are of em broidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finiBh at the top with a round neck that does not come quite up to the base of the throat. Last summer the lovely touch OL white neckwear was In organdie and lawn; now it is of cream net and lace. In the finer costumes, and of pique In those dresses that smack of the tailor made.

Probably never before have artificial flowers had sneh a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower, is one of the best means of giving color to a dark street frock or suit There are bunches of tiny flowers In brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two of green that are good. Then there are zinnias, nasturtiumsv popples and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring. The placing of the flower is'rather important It can be placed on the left shoulder with good effect It looks.well at the closing of a run* or a dose collar of velvet and fur. Of coursev the flower on an evening frock i* usually part of the frock. That la to say, it is placed in position when the frock in made. However, a frock Jthat needs a little refreshing can be brightened nt> with a new flower, and one of the a-rweet places to put it Is about half way down the hack.

Curfew memories are revived by these new official orders for "lights out" in London. There are places where the new decrees will seem less drastic, because the old law of early Norman times is still observed, so far, at least as the ringing of the curfew bell. ' The little surrey village of Chertsey, for instance, still re-echoes to the ringing of curfew at sundown from September 29 to March 25. Londoners, though few of them seem to know it, may hear curfew tolled every nfght at nine o'clock in Lincoln's inn. And Canterbury bells still ring out the curfew as they did centuries ago.— London Chronicle. ,__ Important to Mothers) Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and sec that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 80 Children Cry for Fletcher's Castorin The Remedy.

London, Nov. 27.—The British battleship Bulwark was blown up and, sunk in the estuary of the Medway rirer on Thursday. Between 700 and £00 men were lost, including Capt Guy Belater, her commander, and all her officers. Only 12 of her crew were saved. It is announced officially that the explosion was interior and originated in the ship's magazine. The disaster is the most appalling, with the exception of the loss of the Audacious, the British navy has suffered in the war. The men aboard her had not a fighting chaace for their lives. The vessel was at the bottom in three minutes. Churchill Tells ef Disaster. Announcement of tbe loss of the Bulwark ia {Sheerness harbor was made in the house of commons by Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. Mr. Churchill's official statement follows: 'The battleship Bulwark was lying in the harbor at Sheerness when she was blown up. The disaster occurred at 7:68 o'clock in the morning. The ship was torn absolutely asunder and had entirely disappeared* when the smoke cleared away. It Is the opinion of the admirals at Sheerness that the ship was destroyed by an explosion of the magazine. Only 14 members of the crew were saved. The destruction of the Bulwark will not sensibly affect our military or naval position." , May Have Been Torpedoed. The Bulwark was built in 1899. 8he was 400 feet long and 75 feet in the beam. She was heavily constructed with Krupp armor and carried the following armament: Four 12-inch guns, 12 six-inch guns, 16 three-inch guns and six three-pounders. In addition she carried two machine guns and four 12-inch torpedo tubes. The loss of the Bulwark in a harbor of England caused much depression* Although the official announcement gave no indication of a German submarine attack, it is known submarines are active all along the southern coast of England. British Vessels Sunk. German submarines nave sunk two more British steamships and a German mine has sent to the bottom a British naval collier, according to admission of the British admiralty. The submarine victims were the merchantmen Malachite and Prlmo. They were destroyed In the English channel. Coming on the heels of the appalling disaster which befell the British battleship Bulwark, when it was blown up with the loss of more than 750 officers and men, these new evidences of hostile naval menace at the very gates of London has served to spread con* aternation over England.

TELL8 OF RU881AN VICTORY, By Granville Forteecue. (Formerly Military Aid to President Roosevelt) Petrograd, Nov. 27.—Disaster once more has overtaken the Germans in Poland. Their second army of invar sion is smashed. Not only has their flank been cuj, but the Russians are, well in the rear of the German army. The battle of Kolusskl Is the crowning victory of the campaign in Poland. What is left of the German army is still being pursued, surrounded by a wall of Russians and in terror of the steel of the Cossacks. The enemy is fighting with the* desperation of despair to regain his own frontier. When the final cost is counted, Kolusskl will be found a greater blow to German hopes than either Lemberg or the San. Cossscks Hound Germans^ The battle of Koluszki is still raging. Straggling Prussian regiments are fighting their way out of swamps and over foothills. Cossacks surround -them like wolves. The weather has turned extremely cold. The Germans are burdened with wounded. The feature of the battle was a charge of Cossacks, like hounds in leash. During the earlier part of tbe campaign they often dashed against the decimating fire of unshaken infantry; at Koluszki they charged like stampeded cattle. Over the Infantry they went, up to the mounts of the heavy guns, cutting down the gunners. Some rode off with these prises, while the rest continued the' pursuit These fierce riders were satisfying the grudge against a certain German general who is said to have made it a rule to hang every Cossack. Fighting In Flanders. London, Nov. 26.—The German guns in Belgium have been silenced, for the moment at least Important gains were made by the allies in the Flanders theater yesterday. So important were they to the allies' new offensive movement to destroy the invading army or drive It from Belgium that the French war office deemed It best, in its official announcement, of this afternoon, to withhold, the location of their advances. The official statement simply stated that "in the north the cannonading diminished in intensity and no 'entry attack was directed against tea, which made slight advances at certain points." Berlin Official Statement Berlin, NOT. 27.—The following official statement was issued here today from army headquarters: "The situation is unchanged In the western theater.

A new theory to explain the tails of comets Is advanced by the French physicist, M. Houllevigue, in the Revue Scientlfioue. It is natural to suppose, he says, that the incandescent nucleus of a comet Is throwing out electrons into the extremely rarefied atmosphere that surrounds it The observations of George EUety Hale, the American astronomer, prove that the sun behaves like a negatively electrified body. Therefore he repels electrons, which are negatively electrified bodies. These particles so repelled would be driven to that side of the comet which Is farthest from the sun, and by contact with the molecules of the gaseous and rarefied atmosphere would produce just the luminous appearance that we can a comet's tall. ' Every cqmet's tail always extends away from the sun. Arrhenlus, the Swedish astronomer, believed that the particles of the tall were repelled by the light of the sun.

TERS KING COTTON'S | 1 FLEECY 8TAPLE MU8T PAY RAN- 80M INTO THE C0FFER8 OF WAR. Nation Ringa With Cries of Stricken Industry. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union. King Cotton has suffered more from the European war than any other agricultural product on the American continent. The shells of the belligerents have bursted over his throne, frightening his subjects and shattering his markets, and, panic-stricken, the nation cries out "God save the king!" People from every walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain" only cotton goods; the press has plead with the public to "buy a bale"; bankers have been formulating holding plans; congress and legislative bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers have grown eloquent expounding the inalienable rights of "His Majesty" and presenting schemes for preserving the financial integrity of the stricken staple, but the sword of Europe has proved mightier than the pen of America in fixing value upon this product of t,he sunny south. Prices have been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until the American farmer has suffered a war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a European port must pay a ransom of half its value or go to prison until'the war is over. Hope of the Future Lies in Co-opera- Won. The Farmers' Union, through the columns of the press, wants to thank the American people for the friendship, sympathy and assistance given the cotton farmers in the hour of distress and to direct attention to cooperative methods necessary to permanently assist the marketing of all farm products. The present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to Justify extraordinary relief measures, even to the point of bending the constitution and straining business rules in order to lift a portion of the burden off the backs of the farmer, for unless something is done to check the In-vaslon of the war forces upon the cotton fields, the pathway of the European pestilence on this continent will be strewn with mortgaged homes and-famine and poverty will stalk over the southland, filling the highways of industry with refugees and the bankruptcy court with prisoners. All calamities teach us lessons and the present crisis serves to illuminate the frailties of our marketing methods and the weakness of our credit system, and out of the financial anguish and travail of the cotton farmer will come a volume of discussion and a mass of suggestions and finally a solution of this, the biggest problem In the economic life of America, if, indeed, we have not already laid the foundation for at least temporary relief. More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture. Farm products have no credit and perhaps can never have on a permanent and satisfactory basis unless WJ build warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc., for without storage and credit facilities, the south is compelled to dump Jts crop on the market at harvest time. The Farmers' Unions in the cotton producing states have for the past ten years persistently advocated the construction of storage facilities. We have built during this period 2,000 warehouses with a capacity of approximately 4,000,000 bales and looking backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward, we are able to house less than one-third of the crop and warehouses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness. The problem Is a gigantic one—too great for the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the banker, the merchant and the government In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the world's history, but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of history we find agriculture plowing with a forked stick but with a system of warehouses under governmental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel or\ civilization, for who has not admired the vision oi Joseph and applauded the wisdom or Pharaoh for storing the surplus until demanded by the consumer, but in this age we have too many Josephs who dream and not enough Pharaohs who build.

Wake Dr. Miles' LaxaUv* Tuttsts Thty will h«lf ftev Congress has levied a war tax of $103,000,000 to offset a similar amount of loss on import revenue due to the European disturbances and of this amount beer is the heaviest contributor, having been assessed approximately $50,000,000; a stamp tax on negotiable instruments, it is estimated, will yield $31,000,000; a tax on the capital stock of banks of $4,300,000 and a tax on tobacco, perfumes, theater tickets, etc.. makes the remainder. Congress has decreed that the brewer, the banker and the investor mdst shoulder the musket and march to the front; that milady who would add to her beauty must first tip Uncle Sam, and a dollar that seeks pleasure must first salute the flag; that Pleasure and Profit—the . twin heroes of many wars—shall fight the nation's battles and by an ingeniously arranged schedule of taxation congress has shifted the war budget from the shoulders of Necessity to those of Choice and Gain, touching in its various ramifications almost every line of business. All hail the dollar that bleeds for Its country; that bares Its breast to the fortunes of war and risks its life to preserve the stability and integrity of the nation's credit. The market place has always been a favorite stand for war revenue collectors. The trader Is a great financial patriot. His dollar is the first to rally around the star-spangled banner and the last to hear the coo of the dove of freace. He is called upon to buy cannon; to feed and clothe the boys in blue and each month cheer their hearts with the coin of the realm. Men can neither be free nor brave without food and ammunition, and money is as important a factor in war as blood. Many monuments have been erected in honor of heroes Rlain in battles, poems have been written eulogizing their noble deeds and the nation honors its soldiers while they live and places a monument upon their graves when they die, but very little has been said of the dollar that bears the burdens of war. Honor to the Dollar that Bear* the Burdens of War, All honor to the dollar that answers the call to arms and, when the battle is over, bandages the wounds of stricken soldiers, lays a wreath upon the graves of fallen heroes and cares for the widows and orphans. All honor to the. Industries that bend their backs under the burdens of war; lift the weight from the shoulders of the poor and build a bulwark around the nation's credit. All honor to those who contribute to the necessities and administer to the comforts of the boys who are marching; cool the fever of afflicted soldiers and kneel with the cross beside dying heroes. A dollar may fight Its competitor in business, industries may struggle for supremacy in trade and occupations may view each other with envy or suspicion, but when the bugle calls they bury strife and rally around the flag, companions and friends, mess mates and chums, all fighting for one flag, one cause and one country. The luxuries in life have always been the great burden-bearers In government. We will mention a few of them giving the annual contributions to the nation's treasury: Liquor,$250,- 000,000; tobacco, $103,000,000; sugar, $54,000,000; silks, $15,500,000; diamonds, $3,837,000; millinery, $2,479,- 000; furs, $2,024,000 and automobiles, $870,000. We collect $665,000,000 of internal and custom revenue annually and $450,000,000 of this amount classifies as luxuries, and to this amount we should add the $100,000,000 war tax now levied.

The economic distribution of farm products is today the world's greatest problem and the war, while it has brought its hardships, has clearly emphasised the importance of distribution as a factor in American agriculture and promises to give the farmers the co-operation of the government and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will, in a measure, compensate us for our war losses, for the business interests and government have been in the main assisting almost exclusively on the production side of agriculture. While the department of agriculture has been dumping tons of literature on the farmer telling him how to produce, the farmer has been dumping tons of products in the nations garbage can for want of a market. The World Will Never Starve. At no time since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden have the inhabitants of this world suffered from lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation to this good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Slight variations in production have forced a change in diet and one locality has felt the pinch of want, while another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been a land of plenty. We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not only have this surplus area to draw on but it is safe to estimate that in case of dire necessity one-half the earth's population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the foreBt, gather it from wild vines and draw it from streams. No one should become3 alarmed; the world will never starve. The consumer haa always feared that the producer would not supply him and his fright has found expression on the statute books of our states and nations and the farmer has been urged to produce recklessly and without reference to a market, and regardless of the demands of the consumer. Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging each other to move back to the farm, but very few of them have moved. We welcome our city cousins back to the soil and this earth's surface contains 16,092,160,000 idle acres of tillable land where they can make a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far as increasing production is concerned; we now have all the producers we can use. The city man has very erroneous ideas of agricultural conditions. The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production is all wrong. Our annual Increase in production far exceeds that of our increase in population. The World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land in cultivation. Of this amount there is approximately 750,000,000 acres on the western and 1,260,000.000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, in. cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not in* elude grazing lands, forests, etc., where large quantities of meat are produced. The world's annual crop approximates fifteen billion bushels of cereals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre and sixty-five million tons of meat. The average annual world crop for the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Half Previous Half Crops— Decade. Decade, i Corn (Bu.) 3,934,174,000 3,403,655,000 Wheat(Bu.) 3,522,769,000 Oats (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 Cotton (Bales) 19,863,800 The world shows an crease in cereal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the world's population shows an increase of only three per cent. The gain in production far exceeds that of our increase in population, and it la safe to estimate that the farmer can easily increase production 25 per WA\VA\WA'JVA>&A\WA^St-lV*i\W/f\WA' f f^r^WA\^nsWAWA\WA^W H 3,257,526,000 3.508,315,000 17,541,200 average Ini PETTYSVILLE STORE mmammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmum On Saturday, December 5th Will Pay 32 cents Pep Pound For Buffer and 3 2 c P e r Dozen For One-half in Ca^h and Balance in Trade H.

WILL MAINTAIN QUARANTINE Dr. Halladay Says That Only Town ah (pa Where Epedemic Waa Severest Will Be Kept Under The Ban. Bast Lansing.—The last of the cattle, sheep and hogs smitten by the hoof and mouth disease, which a few weeks ago swept over the state, have been slaughtered and buried, according to Dr. H. H. Halladay, president of the state livestock and sanitary commission. This announcement from Dr. Halladay indicates that the big end of the fight against the epidemic Is over with, but during the coming three or four months, unless new outbreaks should occur, the campaign will be confined simply to maintaining the quarantine. It probably will require this much time for the eradication of the hoof and mouth germs. The quarantine will but little effect the state's meat supply, for an order has already been issued, permitting the sale of Michigan cattle in Detroit Only those township in which the epidemic was severest will be kept under the ban. In no case during the battle waged to check the spread of the epidemic was any attempt made to cure the sick animals. Every one of those afflicted with the disease was killed, despite the fact that most of the animals could have been saved. The slaughter method of wiping out the epidemic waa employed because of the fact that while one animal was being cured the disease would have spread to others. NEXT CONFERENCE AT KAZO Big Meeting of Boys at Ann Arbor Closed with Address of Mr. Bryan. Ann Arbor.—Kalamazoo will enter* tain the 1916 Y. M. C.

DUTCH WANT NO HELP IN CARING FOR REFUGEES Holland Declines Aid Offered Unofficially By American Charity GATHERIN6 UNFORTUNATE ONES IN SPECIAL CAMPS Huge Expense of Supporting Penniless Belgians and Soldiers Wilt he Paid Eventually by Belgian Government. The Hague, via London—The Dutch government has categorically declined all offers of financial aid for Belgian refugees In Holland, which were recently unofficially, offered by an American charity. While deeply appreciative of the generous proposal, the government says it feels that it would be incompatible with the country's honor to tallow another nation or individual association to assist in this mercy work, and that Holland desires to provide herself for all those different neighbors who are afflicted by the war. Of the 1,000,000 Belgian refugees who fled into Holland at the beginning of the war. 300,000 penniless ones remain. One-half of these are living In the two southern provinces of Brabant and Zeeland. The remainder are divided among 800 communities. Winter Is approaching and these refugees are now being gathered together in specially constructed camps situated in dunes of heath and at other healthy spots. For this purpose, a special budget of about $1,- 600,000 has been passed to cover the expenses until January. After that a further credit of $3,000,000 will be given. The gravest task in store for the authorities 4s the rounding up and concentrating "of former inmates of Belgian prisoners, who were liberated wholesale by the Belgian authorities before the arrival of the Germans and now are considered a public menace. In addition to the refugees, there are 45,000 Belgian soldiers who crossed the border Into Holland and were interned. These men are also being supported In special camps. The expense for the maintenance eventually will be paid by the Belgian government, according to International law. President Visits Firing Line.

Washington—A new aspirant for presidential honors in Mexico waa added to the list Sunday with the receipt here of advices that General Pablo Gonzales, one of Carranza's divisional chiefs, has proclaimed himself provisional president of Mexico and has named a cabinet. This report, received officially, comes from Queretaro, where General Gutierres, the AgueecaUentee, convention's choice for president* has established himself.

The mystery is now solved, i t la believed* with the announcement that he has proclaimed himself provisional president While it is doubted if he" win attempt to take Mexico City at present it is admitted that General Gonsalea with his present fores? can make himself a most disturbing factor in the situation and perhaps frustrate an the plans of either Villa, Zapata, or Carran**, so Jong as he holds bis present strong posittoa.

With the European wheat field* desolated, and the farming population more than decimated, there will be for a number of years a demand for food products that has not been ex* perienced in the memory of the present generation. B very one regrets the horrible, war that has Drought thi* about Its effects are felt not only in Europe, but in every' part of the American continent Many lines of business have been hurt but only temporarily it is hoped. Financial stringency is being talked of. There. Is a way of overcoming these things; and Western Canada offers the solution in its immense agricultural area, when the possibility of retrieving losses, making assured gains, and at the same time becoming a factor in providing the world with the one great requisite—wheat—is so pronounced that it cannot be overlooked. There are several ways in which excellent farming lands can be secured in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and also British Columbia. j In the first place the offer of the Dominion Government of 160 acres of land free to the settler Is something not given by any other country. Conditions of settlement are easy. Live upon the land six months in each year, for a perio^ of three years, cultivate about thirty acres, and erect a habitable house. Instead of cultivation, the keeping of a certain number of head of cattle will carry with it the same value. * Many of these homesteads may be had in the open prairie area, where every acre can be put under cultivation, but to the man with limited means, in the park area, lying north of the central portion of three of the provinces named, the/e is afforded the best chance. In this park country are beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, and sufficient open area to enable one to go into immediate cultivation for crops of wheat oats, barley and flax, any one of which does wonderfully well, giving prolific yields. In due time when more land is required for cultivation, these groves may be cut down at small cost In the meantime, however, they have been valuable in providing fuel and shelter for cattle, which thrive wonderfully on the wild grasses that grow in abundance. Another plan is to purchase from some of the railway companies who hold large tracts^or from some responsible land company. The prices asked are exceedingly low and the terms easy. Whether one may decide to locate in the open prairie area or in the park country the land will be found to be of the same general texture, a rich black or chocolate colored loam on a clay subsoil. r AgalzLattention is drawn to the fact o'f the great opportunities for farming that are offered in Western Canada. Already a number of holders of tracts of land there, who are residents of the United States—business men, merchants, lawyers, bankers—men of foresight and keen knowledge of business, have decided to cultivate the lands they have been holding for speculation and wait no longer for a buyer to turn up. They are acting wisely. Canadian laws are aa fair and just as can be found in the civilised world. Military service is not compulsory, nor la there one ounce of coercion used. Anything that is given to Great Britain whether in money or men is entirely voluntary. There is no drafting nor conscription of any kind. Already over sixty 'thousand of the young men of Canada have volunteered for service, and thirty-five thousand have gone forward, many of these having left their farms in their love for Great Britain and a desire to fight for their country. As a consequence, many farms may be left untilled. Therefore Canada Invites others to come in and take their places. This then is the opportunity for the American who wishes to better hie own condition.—Advertisement • * - • ! -•v.jjrv( :v. .-* - • • • * ' „:/i.\ X~- "The Red Cross Girleena/' That the Red Cross nurses are an and more than has been claimed for them when it comes to genuine pluck Is borne out by an Irish soldier, Sergt T.

' * ^ "' Of M Y FIRST EXPERIENCE IN THE MAIL ORDER BU8INE38. It was as a boy, long-legged, lanky and just into my teens that 1 made my application for a "job" with one of the merchandise concerns that was -making an effort to secure trade ;from the people in the towns and country adjacent to one of our big western cities. I had arrived In the city, having quit any Job in a smaller metropolis many ^miles away after serving an arduous •term as office boy and all-around "kid" fin a small store. My self-confidence was small and my diffidence abnormal I suppose I stood outside the store entrance for fully an hour before I mustered up courage enough to go in. "I want to see the DOBS," was my .statement to a rather flashy appearing man who asked me what I wanted. "Whatforr ul want a Job." He sized me up quizzically and then /pointed to a door leading into a dingy -little office in the corner. There was a long counter, behind which a sleepylooking bookkeeper was engaged in adding up figures and within the office X could see a tall, angular man readting letters. Timidly I knocked at the •door. ''Gome in," said the angular man, in a deep, bass voice. Tremblingly I approached him. He looked at me with a keen glance and asked me what I wanted. "I want a Job." "What can you dd? "Work around a store." Then followed a series of questions, which I answered freely as I became more at ease. "I need a good, hard-working boy." He said, "one that Is honest and reliable. Have you any references?" "No, sir." I explained that I had l>een refused a reference from my last •employer because he did not wish me to quit and he had taken this petty Tevehge. Then he asked me a lot more questions about my work, etc., ant finally he said: "A reference doesn't amount to anything, anyhow. Men will give a reference to get rid of a fellow, lots of times. I've done it myself. You show me that you are all right, and we'll have no bother about the reference. I'll give you a Job. Where are your things?" "What things?" "Why, your trunk or your valise or your bundle." It was with humiliation that I confessed that I did not have anything •except the clothes 1 had on. I did not confess to the possession of a pair of neatly darned socks, which X had in one Jacket pocket As for linen, why, I had the shirt I was wearing and my celluloid collar had been, no tar, all sufficient, as I could launder it In a minute with a basin of water. He laughed and said. "All right sonny; start right in and see that yon dont take away from my store any more than you fetched into it" I barely existed on the three dollars a week he paid me, but managed to make shift by sleeping on a cot in the Tear of the store. T o n can go out in the store and straighten up stock," he said, "and -fix everything up in good sty4a^ Every -morning yon will take the broom and eweep out and if you find anything on the floor, bring it to me.

So I swept out the store mornings, tied up bundles and waited on customers during the day and at night X crawled under the counter, too tired to dream, and slept amidst the odors from the barreled and boxed groceries. He showed me bow to manipulate the old-fashioned scales so that I could cheat an old woman out of a pound or two of sugar or flour. Our pint quart and gallon measures bad false bottoms. Our peck and bushel measures were fixed for false measure, and then) was ample material for adulteration of all commodities. He instructed me in their use, and one day he trounced me without mercy because he observed that I did not sufficiently adulterate the purchase of an old Irishwoman who* did my other' shirt up tfor I now had two) and who mended my socks for a few pennies a week. "You'll never learn the business," he said, rather sadly, "unless you watch every chance to make a penny. It's the pennies that count In this business." "Get their money/' he used to say with great unction, "get all you can out of them for as little as you can give. If they come back and holler it is plenty of time enough to make it right. Then, of course, it was a mistake, but be careful and don't give too much, even then." He made It a point to wait on little children who came into the store, and I realize now that his purpose was to short-change them out of a few pennies. It came about that I filled all the orders sent in by mail or that were left to be filled for. farmers who brought in an order made out by the wife. Many and many a wigging was Shad by innocent farmers who were blamed by their wives for "forgetting" to order certain articles. Of course the things were never put into the package, although paid for. I knew it was wrong. I knew I was cheating these customers, but here was this old sinner who went to church regularly and was a deacon in the leading house of worship. His argument when I made a weak objection to this method was that he was in business to make money and that the thefts were so small that nobody missed the money. Besides, he was my "boss," and he was responsible. That Is what he told me in so many words. One day I told him I was going to quit Here I was a half-starved and wholly overworked boy, ignorant of the world and without a penny saved, and absolutely dependent upon my daily wage for food, but desiring strongly to escape from this old scoundrel. When I told him I wanted to quit he dragged me into the office and beat me with a strap. After that 1 planned. I planned to murder him. I planned to burn down the store. I planned to do anything and everything that might offer me a chance to get away from the hateful place. And one day the chance came. Back behind the counter one after* noon I found a pocketbook. It belonged to him. I knew it as I knew my JWA rift* hanl for jt waj &8B this selfsame pdeketbook thai he fate me grudgingly every Saturday night so slowly and grouchlly (hat X feared each time that he would change his mind and withhold H, my three dollars. In the pocketbook were bills to the amount of $80. v Fear assailed me at this discovery, but conscience never spoke. I burled it in the prune barrel and continued my work. He searched for It everywhere. He gave me a brutal questioning and tortured me by twisting my arm until I screamed with pain, tint wild horses would not have dragged my secret away. In the pocketbook were some notes and other papers Identifying it I took out the currency and hid it again in the prune barrel after a few days. Then, one night I slipped out and left the pocketbook, with the papers in it on the wooden sidewalk, because he had made his loss known by word of mouth and had announced that he would give $5 for Its return. The next day the pocketbook was brought into the store by a man who said he had found it and who demanded the reward. The boss opened i t found that the MO was missing and accused the finder of heing a thiet He refused to pay any reward. They fought all over the store. The boss was soundly trounced, and X, pitiful object of humanity, a scrawny, haJf-starvefi hoy and the author of his misfortune, sneaked behind the counter and choked my month with a shoddy coat sleeve fe> hasp from shrieking with unholy Joy.

EDLINQ. "Yea." said the station agent, "1 did have an adventure with Geronimo's warriors the summer they broke loose from their reservation, which, perhaps, is worth telling about "The previous winter I had been employed away up north in Canada, within sight of the glaciers glinting on the Banff mountains, and I got the iced air so incorporated in my system that I felt like a cold-storage plant. "As soon as the snow blockade was raised in the spring I turned southward. I was not particular where I went so long as it was near the tropics. I accepted a place in southern Arizona, a stand which can give Sahara hints on the tropic business. "It's a great place for acquiring a thirst or even adding to one already acquired. I was sitting in the shade of the water tank one day, the contents of which 1 had been absorbing at brief intervals. I wondered if I would ever have enough animation In me to go north again. "I found it too much work to think with the expanding mercury almost lifting the glass tube of the thermometer out of its socket and so I fell into a dose. How long I nodded I do not know, but a swarm of Insects settling on me as If I were made of fly-paper awoke me. "As I stirred, my little dog also came out of his usual comatose condition, for the beat had made us both excessively weary, and dragging himself over to a post he leaned against it for support and barked feebly. I heard a noise behind the house. Before 1 could get up to Investigate, I found the cause standing before me in the shape of several painted Indians. "I was familiar with the sight of Indians, but I could see that this bunch were not friendly visitors, although they grinned at me. Their grin said plainly, 'You are ours.' " 'How do you do?' 1 asked, as soon as I could swallow a sudden inflammation in my throat " 'How do?' one of them grunted in reply. 'Whisk! Bottle whisk! Mouth dry; want drink!' " 'Whisky? Certainly/ and I brought out a quart "bottle which I kept for snake bites. Immediately it was passing from mouth to mouth; and it was all gone when a second crowd of painted faces galloped up alongside. There was a full score more of them and I felt awfully lonesome. "The empty bottle was circulated among the last arrivals; each rider gravely taking a smell. 'More, bring more whisky!' some of them shouted, and when I explained that I had no more, they looked crushed. The first six who had merged the contents appeared happy over the discomfiture of their comrades, and one of them pointed to the big, dripping water-tank and said, 'plenty water, take heap, all you want' "This did not seem to comfort them any, and I saw that they reproached me for being a temperance man. I knew that I would have to suffer for their loss, and the sight of some scalps dangling from their pelts did m r*e*faw m* "After some conrusion in rummaging through the place I was put alongside my desk. There was a brief confab in Apache between the leaders, one of whom was Geronimo himself, and then one. of them, dresed like a white man, sat down and wrote a message on one of my blanks. Turning to me when it was finished he said in good English: M took here, young fellow, we want you to send this dispatch to the captain at Fort Bowie, and, mind you, no monkeying on the wire. Send Just that no more'and no less. Obey us and your life will be spared; but if you send any warning beside this, we will comb your hair for you. I picked up soma telegraphy at the Indian school/ "And with that he laid the blank before me and at the same time pointed a pistol toward my head. "There was nothing for me to do but obey and I read the telegram. 0 T e Captain —, Fort Bowls: "Geronimo, with a targe fores, has fust pessiHl south on the way to surprise the mining settlement ia Crystal Gulch. Some ranchmen brought me the news, and they ssk you for God's sake order your troops there to the rescue at once. Please aft- * "AGENT." "1 had direct wire connection with the fort and I soon Talsed the operator there and began transmitting the dispatch, wondering, as I did so, what its object was. I concluded that it was to put the troops on a false chase, and I privately resolved to notify the fort tf I could. "Was the y u m Indian really an operator and could he detect me if I should add a warning to the message? He was now standing over me aad I looked up at htm. His eyes met mine as t did so, and a smile yen s|| r|mU Tom are at that word} and he pointed to the exact place where I had paused in my sending. Geronimo uttered an approving grunt "I resumed my wiring and was nearly done, when the fort operator broke me, having missed a word. I repeated it and was going ahead with the close when the Indian operator Interrupted me with an oath: '"You are sending wrong; you are posting the fort!' " 'No, I am not/ I answered him. "'You lie! What did you say Just then?' And he shoved his gun under my nose. " The operator at the fort asked me to repeat that word and 1 did so; that is alL Didn't you hear itr "He looked hard at me for a few seconds, but as I had spoken the truth I did not flinch and returned the gaze quite steadily.7 " 'Oh, 1 was only trying to frighten you,' he said with a laugh. 'Where are you BOW?* '"Here/ I said, pointing to the place where I had left off, with the key open. '"That's right! Finish it!' said be; and I did so, getting O. K. from the fort "Within ten minutes thereafter the fort called me. The reply was abort expressing thanks for the information and saying that the troops would leave for Crystal Gulch at once. Whea I had O. K/d it the fort man asked me for more information regarding the Indians. "The Indian ordered me to write down every word, and he would not permit me to answer it until he had written the reply. Then he would follow the copy closely with his eyes, and at the same time listen intently to my sending. "When the wiring was onded, the fellow explained the business to the others, who grunted their approval aad Immediately all went out of doors except my operator friend, their places being taken by three others. "1 heard the gang outside ride off, but in which direction they went I was unable to tell as ray guard would not allow me to look out. They were not sociable fellows, speaking seldom to each other, and puffing in silence on their pipes like factory chimneys. "What were they keeping me tor? I wondered. Had they some other use for me that they did not kill me at once? "Three long oppressive hours passed thus, the figures of the Indians dimly visible through the dense tobacco smoke enveloping us. Then they arose and, seizing me, bound me to my chair and left the room. "I heard the clatter of their horses' feet and I realised with surprise and great relief that they had gone and I was yet alive. Waiting a few minutes to make sure they would not return, I wriggled loose from my bonds, which had been carelessly tied, and cautiously peeped out of the window. A half mile to the north I could see the four Indians riding away. "They remained in sight for ten minutes more at least, when they dropped from view down in a valley. I was glad I had seen the direction of their going, so that I could report it to the fort "For wnile the troops were speeding south to Crystal Gulch, the Indians were riding north and very likely woull attack the ranches along Chico creek, which were not far above the fort and could not be attacked with immunity while the troops were there. ~ I was at the telegraph key in an tlltant and called the fort ftrionj'-, The operaiSF there replied in a iew minutes and I was not long in explaining what had happened. The information astonished him. Excusing himself he ran and informed the commander. "At length he returned and told me that the captain had sent only a little more than half of the company stationed there to Crystal Gulch and had retained the remainder, who would start directly for Chico creek, "The next day some soldiers arrived by train and stopped at my station to guard the railroad property until all danger had passed. I learned from them-the conclusion of the affair and the narration surprised me. Geronimo's telegram had told the truth! "The four fellows who ha/, guarded nn had purposely gone north so long as they were within sight Of my station, and my life was spared so that I could observe them and report it to the fort "The main 'jody of Indians had gone southward three hours before, but had concealed themselves on the way so as to avoid the returning soldiers, whom they expected to be recalled, and then attacked Crystal Gulch early in the evening. "They would have succeeded bad not who fort commander decided to take no chances. Tor/ as he had remarked to his sergeant at the tide of my warning, the devil alone knows where his imps will turn up; and half a company of my hoys can handle a whole company of Apaches!' "So he did not send for the return of his men from Crystal Gulch. When Geronimo and his men dashed into what they supposed a defenseless set- Uement they met a volley that left half the ponies riderless and sent the) root of the head scattering to the few wines of heaven." SHED THE BEST WASHROOM Its Advantages Are Many, Where 8uch mn Apartment Is at the Command of Housewife. In case a woodBbed is available, with an old stove that can be used there, these should be pressed into service for washing during the winter months. The woodshed as a washroom would necessitate a washday which 1B mild and sunshiny, but there is usually more than one such day in each week; and when the health of the family is at stake, the washing can well be done on some other day than Monday. At best, the woodshed would be cold, hence the worker would need a piece of old carpet or linoleum and warm bricks or a soapstone to protect her feet while standing at the tubs. A small bench on rollers, made the same height as the wash bench, will enable the housewife to wove the filled tubs about without any lifting. Such preparations on the day previous are necessary in order to shorten the processes on washday and hasten the drying of clotheB, for the earlier in the day that some of the clothes can be put on the line, the less need there will be for the remainder to lie wet in the house or to be dried there. In case a shed is too cold for use in all processes of washing, it should be used for those which send off much steam, such as running clothes through the washing machine. Wringer, wash bench, boiler, basket and hamper should be kept in this shed rather than carried from the cellar and back, or rather than keep doors open while carrying them from the smokehouse to washroom, as is sometimes done. • USING THE SEWING MACHINE One Who Does Much Sawing Should See That It Is Always In Perfect Condition. When much machine work has to be done, filling the shuttle ic a constant annoyance. This can be partly obviated by threading the shuttle with finer cotton than that used on the needle. The sewing will be quite as strong, and the shuttle will not need refilling half BO cften as it would If threaded with the same number of cotton as the needle, because the spool will hold a great deal more of the finer cotton. If you want your sewing machine to do satisfactory work, remember that it needs to be kept clean. After every ten hours' work it needs oil, but all surplus oil must be carefully wiped off afterwards* Always work It Bteadily, and never start or stop with ar Jerk. One dressmaker, whose machines are noted amongst her sewing girls for their smooth and easy running, oils them once In every three times with paraffin instead of the usual oil. Of course she is careful that the machines are kept scrupulously clean. A dirty machine can't be expected to do good work. When your machine is not in use, see that the wheels are left «o that the oil holes are at the top of the hub. This will saVe clearing away the superfluous oil, which trickles out and causes the hub to catch the dust Before you begin to sew take an odd piece on material and stitch backwards and forwards before commeuo- »• crJ^r? wori. :: ttiy oil ratt tip* With the nee^S, ~ ~ freonentW happen/ after oiling or cleaning, it will not spoil your material.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, December 10, 1914 • & > , .••••• BEST WAY TO PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE &^S&^&:i>^ ANAPP THE best and easiest way to put up a Christmas tree has never been patented or published—in fact, it is so simple that it could not be patented. Having failed one Christmas eve to provide a suitable foot or base for tbe family tree, necessity compelled me to invent one, because the two youngest members of the family would not hear of Christmas without a tree. - So I sawed the butt of the tree square, then trimmed off a few of the lowest branches and set the tree in a good sized stone Jar. The jar was then filled with stones, pebbles, pieces of brick and coal. All this material was packed down firmly and the position of the tree so adjusted that it stood per fectly straight. When the tree was in position little Gretel had a happy thought "Let us give the tree some water," she said, "just as if it were a big flower." And we filled the jar with water. Then we covered the stones with bits of silver tinsel and artificial snow, and now our tree looked as if it was actually growing in a big jar. From time to time, as the water was drawn up by the tree, we refilled the jar, and the result was that we kept our tree green and fresh for. a. month. Since that year our Christmas tree is always put up in that way, and we can keep it as long as we wish. A tin pail, a tub or any deep vessel can be used to take the place of the stone jar, and pieces of coal or coke can be used instead of stones to bold the tre<- in place. t|i4i>jnjiiti*}i»t»»t<'|'>l"'lH't"<,<"l"t'^>t"t>'>">,4',3H$t*^^ Because It's Chris'mus | »+>h <> <•» * i >X> * * * < • • ' > • >t"M"H«4"M"fr ES' because it's Chris'mus I go smilin' on my way, An* jes' because"tf s Chris'mus I am kindly-like an' gay.

Women fill plates with wheat, which are well watered and then put in the sunshine or in warm ashes to germinate. If S t Barbara's grain grows well or ill so will the coming harvest be. Later comes the cutting of the Yule log. Tho oldest man of the family cuts a fridt bearing tree—almond, apple, oak or pear. The grandfather uses the ax, and then the son finishes the work. The log is five feet long and is expected to burn, if covered all night, from Christmas eve to New Year's day. Before the eating of the great supper the youngest members of the family light the log. The little gayly painted "creche" and other small, inexpensive clay figures are found in every home. Before dark Christmas eve the children go out to look for the magi. They carry with them confectionery for the mngi, figs for the servants and hay for the tired camels. They also put up sheaves for tho birds, and the wealthy send out donkeys laden with bread, meat, figs and almonds, which arc sold for a few cents fo the poor. The nougat pie or pudding of almonds and honey is on the table for the great supper. G E T A L L T H E F U N Y O U C A N v O U T O F C H R I S T M A S .

And yon can make tee tor the home tree that will be •very whit aa good aa one bought A grocery box and a few box boards, •fine cloth oorering material, a hammer and * saw, are all tha:> required In making the tree base ahown in rig.L An oblong box 10 lnehea deep, 22 inches wide and 26 inches lonb' was u*3d for this base. Fig. 2 shows the first step in its construction—the forming of a pocket in the bottom of the box to receive the end of the tree. Thie is made with two pair of boards nailed together crosswise as in Fig. 3. Any boards of narrow widths will do. Cut pair A exactly as long as the inside width of tho box, and pair D exactly as long as the inside length of the box. For the end of a tree of medium size, the pocket Bhould measure two and one-half or three inches square. This means that the strips should be placed two and on>b :£ or three Inches apart. If the pocket proves to be a bit too large, the end of tha tree can be wrapped with a strip of cloth or paper to make it fit tight This pocket frame does not require fastening to the box if it is made to fit snugly. The bottom pocket holds the end of the tree in position. A similar pocket in the top of the box is necessary to keep the tree from toppling over, and this is made by fastening one pair of boards between the sides of the box even with the top edge (C, Fig. 4), then crossing them with a pair nailed to the top of the box (D, Fig. 5). The base can now be completed by oorering it neatly with cloth, but it win have a much more attractive appearance if you slant the sides as they i#«&&; ['A* *£•.:• ;>••••• < • : ' • *£.'. .#•:".

HOMK-MAOI TRIMMING* FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRIE. It ia lota of fun trimming tho Christ* mas tree with home-made ornaments, much more fun than with tho kind yon buy in stores, and planning and making tree ornaments that will bo both novel and attractive provides Interesting work for several days. In the illustrations below are shown several clever forma of ornaments that are easily made. The tip of the tree should be crowned with a single ornament, and a double five-pointed star made after the fashion of that shown in Fig. 1 is most appropriate. The double star U prepared in two pieces out from a cardboard box (Figs 2 and 8). Mark them out alike with ruler and pencil, making the distance between opposite points 5 inches. Cut them with a knife or scissors. Each star must be slashed so one will fit over the other. Slash one as shown in Fig. 2, from point A down to B, which is one-half of the distance from A to C; and slash the other as shown in Fig. a, from C up to B. You will see that by now crossing the pair of stars, and slipping the slash made in each over the uncut portion of the other, the star ornament will be put together to look like the one In Fig. t The cardboard must be covered with tinfoil to make it nice and shiny, but before putting this covering on, cut two slender sticks for a support, fasten TO SANTA CLAUS Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Are you truly true?

When fastening tho star to tho tree, run tho ends of the sticks far enough below the tree top to enable you to bind them securely in position. The four lower points of tho stars serve excellently for attaching tho tipper ends of tho ornamental chains to, that go to make up a largo portion of tho trimmings of a tree.

The deeply religious sentiment if the country makes the religious ob« flervance of the festival Its dominant feature. The humblest habitation wears an air of cheerfulness when decorated tflth holly and ivy, from which the red berries which grow on the holly Jieep out in great profusion. In the Catholic churches in the larger cities and iu many of the smaller Jjjaces as well masses are celebrated Itourly from midnight on Christmas eve, thousands flocking first to the midnight mass and later to those that follow. Even in the penal days, when It jfteant death for a clergyman to perform the holy sacrifice or for those $ h o assisted at it to be caught in attendance, the midnight mass was never abandoned. When the churches were destroyed by Cfoinwel! and Elizabeth the priest took refuge beneath some protecting rock, and with scouts among the flock ^jirown out to £uard against surprise by the soldiery the mass jvas offered 4jp as it had been in the earlier days "Si Ireland's religious glory. Today, happily, there is no such ban on the religious faith of the people, find the throngs who then flocked to the glen or the mountain side to assist Jn the holy sacrifice can attend their religious services in comfortable churches Everywhere throughout the land. On Christmas morning, especially in $be rural portions of Ireland, the peo- Z}}e flock to the morning masses, often traveling eight and ,ten miles from their homes in the remote hills and Tftileys of their respective parishes. S h e goose hangs high in Ireland on Christmas day, and no family Is too* feoor not to provide the delicious bird. On Christmas night the waxed bless- ¾candle is lighted in honor of Christ's tivity, and music and good cheer of «^ery kind are enjoyed everywhere. The day following* Christmas, S t §tepben's day, is also regarded as practically a holiday. It is mostly availed <fr by the young people, especially the >ys, for fun and frolic of every dejrlption.

Speare, Pinckney Grand Trunk Time Table Anna Katharine Green. for some years, was an actor in the company of Booth and other tragedians. The author made her first well-sustained literary reputation with "The Leavenworth Case/' which still stands pre-eminently among the world's big detective stories. It was staged and added new emphasis to the dramatic qualities of the author's rare storytelling ability. More than thirty publications followed, and now, after all these years of steady writing, comes "Dark Hollow," the new serial we are about to publish, every bit aa baffling and exciting as were the first fruits of her tireless pen. It is a capital and engrossing mystery tale, with a new depth and seriousness that carries with it a truth that only could, be felt by one whose keen observation had been measured by life valueB.

Today it U confined to Queen's college, Oxford, and one or two baronial houses. The reason for the custom surviving nt Queen's is. according to tradition, on account of a valorous deed performed centuries ago by a Queen's scholar. He was walking iti the tields study lug his Aristotle when a wild boar rushed at him open mouthed. With great presence of mind the student crammed the book down the animal's throat, and it was thus choked to death with philosophy; hence the survival of the boar's head at the college of which this bold scholar was a member. No titter setting for a ceremony that links up the twentieth century with the past could be provided than the cloisters and dining halt of Queen's college. Queen's, wuone foundation dates back to HMO. was the college of the Black Prince, Henry V., Cardinal Behufort, Addison, Wycherley and many other famous men. The procession of the boar's head is formed up at the buttery. At its head walks the soloist, a former scholar of tfie college. Next comes the boar's bend. This is borne on a silver salver upon the shoulders of two stalwart servitors. The great head presents a Quaint nnd handsome appearance, being surmounted by a glittering and bejeweled crown and decked with frills of gilded bay and rosemary. Between the tusks is placed a golden orange. Flags bearing the college arms and devices are fixed In the head* Immediately behind the great* dish comet the college organist wearing the brilliant robes of an Oxford doctor of mask* and followed by his surpUced choir of men aad toys. Ueaswhile the* provost of the colo_ f"tne TairTn the midsFof the"prfnci pal guests, says a Latin grace, after which the dinner call is sounded in the cloisters upon a trumpet. Then wHh stately pomp the procession slowly advances from the bntlery. through the cloisters nnd into the great dining hall, and the soloist sings the proclamation: The boar's head In hand bear 1, Bedecked with bays and rosemary. And I pray you, my masters, be merry Then the choir sings in harmonious chorus the curious old Latin carol: Quot *on<s In convlvio. Caput aprl defero, Reddens laudes Domino. By the time the carol Is finished tht> procession lias reached the dais, and the boar's head is deposited on the high table. Then the provost, or. in bis absence, the senior officlnl of the college who is present, removes the flags, which are used year after year and are of considerable antiquity, and presents to each of the principal guests n portion of the gilded evergreens. The remainder is eagerly scrambled for by the other guests. After this prelude the dinner is served as ordinarily .save that the most valuable and antique silver plate and pew ter are used, special sauces are served with the meats, and borne brewed ule and queen's own special beer, a liquor of greM;*potency, are served, in the valuable old tankards. ' A Bold Monarch. Charles IX. of France was bold enough to interfere, with the nttlre of the women of his realm. In 150! he forbade the ladies to use any "bunds of enibrolde.rj' stttchings or fixings of silk, excepting only a bordering the width of a finger or at the most two bordering* with chain stitobings." - X Keeps His Word.

Killing Cooking Odors. No odor of cooking should greet the guest in a private home or even an apar. nent which claims to be of the exclusive class. A simple and agreeable deodorizer may be made of a handful of cloves, allowed to scorch with bits of orn*nge peel on a tin plate in the oven, says the Kansas City Star. This mixture Imparts a fragrance not unlike that of carnations, and. scattered about the rooms. It wfll completely destroy the odor of cooking vegetables or roasting meats. In the country the wise housewife may gather sweet clover, nnd the sprigs, dried out. will impart a fresh and delicious fragrance to the house linens all next winter. lavender, that standby of oldtlme housekeepers, may be purchased In lltye bags at trifling coat and makes a delightful fragrance for the linen closet—Exchange. The Fourth Officer. "I've been on a bridge of a ship; since 1 was fourteen. I don't knowi how to breathe inside a bouse," nej said. One has to lead some kind of life, and as I sat there thinking it occurred to me that, even if it was poorly paid and a t times lonely, there was something very sane and useful and' good about the life of the fourth officer. In a little while he would look at his watch and exclaim a trifle dievidently, but with an unmistakable resumption of authority: "It's 10 o'clock. You must go now." Then he would almost instantly fall asleep, sleep for fonr hours, spend four more alone with the trackless waters and the southern stars, bathe, breakfast and begin another day with a fit body, clear brain, steady nerves and untroubled eyes,—Flandran's Essays. : : . . i The Pest of Danger.

And this wise William Constantinople. Constantinople was known as Lygos until 668 B. C. when it blossomed forth into Byzantium and bore that name for close on 800 years. Byzantium, like Rome, was built on seven hills, and this resemblance led Septimus Sere ras to rectiristen it Nova Roma. On making the cifcv the capital of the Roman empire Constantine the Great bestowed his own name upon it, and ever since It has been known as Constantinople in the western world. This name, however.

Christmas trees are furnished princl pally by two families of trees—the spruces and the firs. The spruces are the more bushy looking trees, with numerous small cones near tbe top. I All through northern New England. i northern Michigan. Wisconsin and Miuj nesota the spruces form vast forests fcest bargains fq OUR4HT PURSES The black spruce grows in swamps. ' where few other trees can live, while i the white spruce competes with the ; noble pines for higher and better soil. ', Every year millions of young spruces i are cut in the northern forests and i shipped to the cities and prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsmen can ! find a stand of young firs they take them also. The firs look more refined ! and less bushy, and their green leaves J often stand away from tbe slender : branches like the teeth of a comb. While the use of Christmas trees has come to us from Germany, the custom • of decorating our houses with holly and : mistletoe originated in England. Hotly. The home of our American holly is In the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains. In the north it Is a small evergreen shrub, but in the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty feet high. With its glossy green ; leaves and bright scarlet berries the holly is an object of beauty in its na- ! tive woods as well as in our fashion- I able flats and churches. The hand ot ; man has never cultivated this beauti- I ful shrub, at least not on a commer- ; cial scale, but the wild birds are attracted by its bright berries. They eat the scanty pulp and scatter the seeds I far and wide. While some species of holly grow as far south as Texas and 1 westward into Missouri and Arkansas. ! the great forests of Michigan, Wisconj sin and Minnesota contain not a sin- \ gle species of these beautiful p.hrubs. Mistletoe. A queer kind of plant is the inlstle I toe. If one saw it for the first time h<- • might mistake it for the common i witch's broom \\Miich is familiar to e\ I ery northert woodsiunn. In reality j the mistletoe is a parasite which grows J and lives on other trees, such as maple, poplar and tupelo. Its white fruit is eaten by birds, and the small seeds are accidentally dropped on the braIK tiles of trees. The seeds adhere to the I bark, and if they happen to have been I planted on the right kind of host they , germinate and send a kind of sucker ' like growth into the bark and wood ! of their host, and a new mistletoe i plant begins its life and grows nt the expense of its host, from which it de- ! rives nearly all Its nourishment. Our j Christmas mistletoe is restricted to the < middle and southern states! growing from New Jersey to Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas, but is not found in the northern states Several species of mistletoe, however, do occur in our .western forest*. Christmas Greens. The most humble plant of this happy season Is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground pines It is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. like these, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails and twines anions the roots of the stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, afv filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Pew of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts In winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take om> summer outins to the northern woods and to tbe mountains.

Whether you take advantage of it or not, it is one that merits your best consideration* for it not only offers you an opportunity to save a substantial sum of money, but provides- you with eleanv wholesome reading. And, this offer is of special interest at this time because of the long winter months that are now with us. This is the time of the year when, the days are short and the nights are long. They give our friends plenty of time to read, to gather about the fireside in the evening and discuss those topics which are of mutual interest in every household—the war, politics, women's interests, business conditions, winter sports and the thousand and one things that come up in the course of an evening at home. The offer will not last forever. In fact, it is limited to a short time only and urge you to take advantage of it at once. Newspaper bargain opportunities like this don't knock at your door every day. By this special arrangement we can also offer this combination to residents of Pinckney, Hamburg and Gregory.

Christmas trees are furnished principally by two families of trees—the spruces and the firs. The spruces are the more bushy looking trees, with , numerous small cones near the top. i All through northern New England. '. northern Michigan. Wisconsin and Mlnj neaota the spruces form vast forests The black spruce grows in swamps, where few other trees can live, while 1 the white spruce competes with the ; noble pines for higher and better soil. , Every year millions of young spruces ! are cut in the northern forests and ! shipped to the cities and prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsuien cat: ! find n stand of young firs they take , them also. The firs look more refined ! and less bushy, and their green leaves ; often stand away from the slender \ branches like the teeth of a comb. While the use of Christmas trees has come to us from Germany, the custom of decorating our houses with holly and mistletoe originated in England. Holly. The home of our American holly is in the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains. In the north it Is a small evergreen shrub, but In the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty feet high. With its glossy green leaves and bright scarlet berries the holly is an object of beauty in its na- ' tive woods as well as in our fashion- ; able flats and churches. The hand ot man has never cultivated this beauti- : ful shrub, a t least not on a commer- \ cial scale, but the wild birds are attracted by its bright berries. They eat the scanty pulp and scatter the seeds j far and wide. While some species of holly grow as far south as Texas and westward into Missouri and Arkansas, the great forests of Michigan, Wiscon- ; sin and Minnesota contain not a sin- \ gle species of these beautiful shrubs. Mistletoe. A queer kind of plant is the misUe I toe. If one saw it for the first time IK might mistake it for the common witch's broom which is familiar to e\ ! ery northern woodsman, In reality i the mistletoe is a parasite which grows • and lives on other trees, such as maple, poplar and tupeio. Its white fiuli lis eaten by birds, and the small seeds i are accidentally dropped on the branch- ! es of trees. The seeds adhere to the ! bark, and If they happen to have been 1 planted on tlio right kind of host they , germinate and send a kind of sucker like growth into the bark and wood 1 of their host, and a new mistletoe i plant begins Us life and grows at the • expense of its host, from which it de- ' rives nearly all its nourishment. Our • Christmas mistletoe is restricted to the middle and southern 'states* growing from New Jersey to Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas, but is not found in the northern states Several species of mistletoe, however. do occur in our .western forests. Christmas Greens. The most humble plant of this happy season is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground pines. It { is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. like these, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails and twines amon^ the roots of the stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, arV filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Few of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts in winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take our summer outing to the northern woods and to the mountains. best bargain? fq OLIDAff PURSES Iff ill Iff Jtt Iff Ul Iff * Ik Iff iff Iff iIlffl Iff Iff •Iff § Iff HI ill A Few Suggestions: W A T C H E S Ladies Open Face and Hunting from $6.00 up.

Result of Fighting There, It Ic B* llcved, Wltl Have Decisive Etfect on- Conflict—Beth Sides Claim Success —engagements Along the Veer Con* tinue—jQermen Repwlee Reported. Paris, Dec. 5.—General Joffre has given the order for an offensive movement along the entire battle line in France and Belgium to drive the Germans from France, Flanders and Alsace. Re-enforced by 400,000 British and many French troops, his army now equals in numbers that of the Germans. Kaiser Returne to Berlin. London, Dec. 5.—The return of the kaiser to Berlin is regarded here as a sore indication that German expectations of an early success in Poland have been effectually blocked. The kaiser, who will make only a brief stop in the capital, has been on the eastern battle front for nearly a week, and it is assumed he would have remained to witness the victory of his troops had one been in near prospect The tremendous conflict in Poland continues to hold the Interest to the practical exclusion of the other arenas of war. In fact all the other military operations apparently are hinged on the outcome of the titanic struggle between the Russians and the Austro- Gertnan armies. Conflicting reports continue to come from Petrograd and Berlin regarding the fighting, but through them one fact looms. The battle of Lode has ended and with all the signs pointing to at least a tactical victory for Grand Duke Nicholas. Germans Lose 100,000. The Bourse Gazette of Petrograd has received a dispatch from a correspondent with the Russian army that the battle of Lodz has ended in victory for the Russians. He asserts that great numbers of German prisoners and many cannon and machine guns are being brought to Lodz. Petrograd newspapers publish the statement that the Germans lost 100,- 000 men in fighting their way out of the trap set for them at Lode and have been unable to renew the offensive on account of terrible losses and exhaustion. Lacking the confirmation of the Russian general staff, there is a disposition here to accept these reports with reserve, particularly since the latest Russian - official announcement admits that the Germans have been heavily re-enforced from Silesia and are forcing the fighting in some areas. Three Miles From Cracow. Without doubt the Russians have been vigorous in front of Cracow, and the news indicates that the five forts are being shelled. If the czar's troops are numerous enough Cracow can be masked as the Germans masked Mauibeuge and they can pass the fortress Into southeastern Silesia, ; Nine miles southwest of Cracow and 'three miles from the line of forts lies [the small town of Wlelcska, which is jbuilt over a fantastic underground city of salt mines. A short railway bears the produce of the mines to Cracow. The Russian soldiers of General Dimitrieffs conquering army have reached this town and are now preparing for a siege of the last Galiclan fortress. Germans Lose Heavily. The Russian official report indicates that there is little hope of a relief for Cracow from the south, since the Russians have passed through the Dukia pass into Hungary and the Austrians in Galicia have been scattered and driven back, through the mountains. Assert German Success^ . Berlin (wireless via Sayville), Dec 3—General headquarters reports the following facts about-the German sue- ' cesses near Cods: The Germans were serious]? threat* ened In the rear by stron^Raseian forces advancing from the-east and south. The German troops faced about and succeeded in cutting their way through the Russian ring. ^ In three days of fortius fighting, they captured 12,400 Russian prisoners and J9 guns, without losing a single gun ef their own. .. , Nearly rail' 'the German' wounded have been brought home. The losses, of course, were serious, but not enor- Indeed, this was one of the Baas* mffltaty successes of the entire war. : / * • > ' • ^,. The aJBjpttf' ha* visited Ms troops in, theirpoattJeai-<*•** Oembianen and Derkehsje*. , Petrograd, Dec 8.—The to the northwest of Lowles have abandoned their active defensive under pressure from the Russians, who are well above Ptotak on the left bank of the Vistula. All the German columns north of Lode are falling back toward the frontier. At midnight and in the early morning hours of today the Germans north of Lods in massed .columns made a succession of most furious onslautftts against the Russian position. This was their final attempt The military commentator of the Russkl invalid ascribes the failure of von Hindenburs/s effort in Poland, which was Intended to culminate In a determined outflanking of the Russian position, tc the fact that .ts preparation was too visible and Its execution too slow. Hence from the early stages of the fighting, the Germans had to use ill their energies to parrying counter-maneuvers by the Russians, who had seised the general initiative. Ruse Surround Besiegers. Writing of the campaign around Lodz, the Moscow correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "Lodz, the most important industrial town in Russian Poland, has been closely besieged, the Germans inclosing it from the north, east and south. The Russian army was as in a sack, but rallied with great power, resolution and heroisnr in order merely'not to escape from the difficult position, but to rout the enemy. ""*"" "At the moment when one portion of the Russian army was resisting most violent attacks of the Germans upon the city, other troops were turning their right flank, while a third portion, after a circular march, struck a blow at the rear of the enemy. Thus the Germans, who had endeavored to surround the Russians, found themselves surrounded. "Nevertheless the German army outflanked and pushed to the rear, made supreme efforts to pass by Lods from the east and south. A fight with the bayorfet began. There were skirmishes even in the outskirts of Lods, where barricades had been constructed during lulls in the fighting. Stake All on Lods. Petrograd, Dec. 2.-The Germans, apparently for the time being, have staked the whole fortune of the eastern campaign on the Lodz venture Siberian regiments thrice charged the Rzgoff positions before the Germans evacuated them. In some of the trenches the dead were piled many deep. Shrapnel and machine guns played a comparatively small part in the fighting, which mostly was handto- hand with bayonets and butt end of rifles. In the fighting Siberian Cossacks acquired further glory. No obstacle stops tbem. Where other troops hesitate, the Cossacks burl themselves forward and sweep all before them. The Russians owe the victory at Lodz to the Siberian Cossacks. Engagements In France. London, Dec. 3.—The right wing of the French army defeated the Germans all along its front in several violent engagements along the Moselle river, in the Vosges and In Alsace on Wednesday, according to delayed reports which reached the war office today. The midnight communique from Bordeaux states that this is the only official news the war office has to relate, but unofficial reports, coupled with the afternoon official statement, convey details of furious engagements being fought by vast numbers in Flanders, where the battle of the Yser has been resumed with increased vigor, and north of Arras, where the Germans are making desperate efforts once more to make good their vow to break through to Calais by December 10. The Germans anticipated a concert* ed forward movement by the allies in northern France by making spirited attacks themselves, which so far have met with no success. The attack extended more or less along the whole line, but was concentrated principally to the north of Tpres and on toward Dixmude. In the dark hours before dawn yesterday a large force of the Germans crossed the flooded waters of the Yser by means of big broad rafts. The venture wei a desperate one, but not a man who set out could have been ignorant of the fact that death almost certain was awaiting him. The rafts were punted through the shallow waters in almost dead silence and in utter darkness.' Each carried fifty to .sixty men and some of them were equipped with rapid flrers. In preparation for dawn, a further fleet of rafts drawn by motor boats was watting on the German side of the muddy waters, but the plot was discovered and when daylight arrived the artillery, of the alBes met the advancing Germans with devastating effect Yet, in spite of tbek Jossce, these Germans, brave even to madness, sun assayed the crossing. They ware partly covered by a- heavy cannonading from their field artillery and nntti midday the Germane persisted ts tba LODZ IS TAKEN BY GERMANS IS BERLIN CWM Important Town in Russian Poland Occupied By Kaiser's Troops FOLLOWS THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF ALL HISTORY! Victory Is Considered Important Part ef Campaign to Capture^Warsaw Which Is Thought to Be Next Move. London—Lodz was occupied by the Germans Sunday, after several days of the most terrific and sanguiary fighting of the war, according to an official statement given out in Berlin Sunday. This is considered to give the Germans a great advantage in their third attempt to march on Warsaw, which is about 75 miles east-northeast of the captured city, and is regarded as a part of the German plan to break up the Russian center, which has rested on Lodz, by a forward drive and enveloping movements on both flanks. That these enveloping attempts are being made is indicated in reports of fighting about Piotrkow and How, to the north and south of Lodz, respectively, although the official reports from Berlin and Petrograd have been meager, the former, prior to the announcement of the occupation of Lodz, simply saying that "the battle about Lodz is taking its course as expected/' while Petrograd early Sunday morning stated only that the battle was still in progress. Lodz Is Important City. Lods, a city of 416,604 population, is the chief manufacturing center of Russian Poland. It has numerous textile mills, the majority of them for the manufacture of cotton goods. In addition, it has flour mills, dyeing establishments, brickyards, machinery plants and breweries. On the operations of the next few weeks depend not merely whether or nor Russia is to seize Silesia and go forward to Berlin, but whether or not the Allies in the west are to maintain the offensive. By exertions which dwarf any previous efforts, Germany has repaired her terrible losses between the Warthe and the Vistula, has withdrawn battered armies from the very jaws of the Russian trap, has hurried vast numbers from East Prussia, Posen, Silesia and evens from Belgium and France; has solidified a battle line which stretches from Mlawa on the frontier of Bast Prussia and Poland to Gracow, and is obviously ready and determined to brave the terrors of winter and the superior numbers of the Russians, in a third endeavor to seise Warsaw and the whole Vistula line southward to Sandomlera. From a battle front of 300 miles, in which there are few gaps that are not amply protected by nature, the Germans are poised for the new attack which will certainly produce the most sanguinary and ferocious battles the world has ever known. Rumania May Enter War. Geneva, via London—The Journal de Geneve publishers a dispatch from Bucharest which says that Rumania has definitely decided to entert&e war on the side of the allies. This decision, according to the dispatch, is In accordance with the wish of the entire country including King Ferdinand and all the Rumanian statesmen with the exception of the minister of finance, M. Marghiloman.. The question of when Rumania will make her entry into the conflict Is still being discussed, however, one side desiring to avoid a winter campaign, but the military authorities express the fear that Servia may be defeated before the spring. The attitude of Bulgaria still remains doubtful. Greece, Servia and Rumania have proffered certain con' cessions, which, however, Sofia seems not to consider a sufficient inducement MARKET QOOTATKWS Live Stock, Grain and General Farm Produce.

"Well—er—your stepmother is your—er~your father's second wife" "Tea, sir." Again the tone was polite, but. uncomprehending. "That will do, then, Thomas. That was all I wished to say to you. You may go." "Yes, sir." The blue eyes lit up wl(h sudden Interest "Please, sir/' eagerly, "are they nice, sir?" The head master again regarded the youngest boarder over his spectacles. "What, Thomas?" . "Stepmothers, sir." "Er—some are and some are not. Yours probably will be." He thought of the handsome, perfectly mannered gentleman who was Thomas' father, and corrected himself. "Sure to be," he ended. "Yes, sir." Thomas shut the study door after him and wandered off toward the scbfolroom. He had a new possession—a stepmother, but 'he was not quite sure whether it was a creditable one or not In the schoolroom was William with a crowd of boon companions. William was a boy of prestige. He was the tyrant of his form—It was Thomas', too—and he had a fa* ther who had shot a lion. Thomas approached him. . "I've got a stepmother," he announced. The reception of his'news was flattering. William's mouth opened to its fullest extent "What!" he roared. "A stepmother? I ear, you chaps, Thomas gorra stepmother." Thomas was Immediately the center of an admiring crowd of small boys, to whom he solemnly confided his ignorance on the article In question. There was a babble of voices. "Why, they're big, ugly black worn* en." "They beat yon." "They starve you." They lock you up in dark rooms." Thomas received the information stolidly. In the same way he received all subsequent glances of envy or sympathy. 9or Thomas life suddenly changed. All the rest of the term he, was the central figure, the observed of all observers,* William regretfully, but of his own accord, relinquished his position. The head master had patted each Individual head, and shaken each individual hand, and .hoped that each in* dividual pupil would be a good boy during the holidays, and there they were on the platform, waiting for their trains.

"Well, 1 think she's on the lawn. Go and say bow do you do to her." Thomas went out and gaced round. No, there was no stepmother there— only a princess with goldybrown hair, and a soft white dress. "Are you a princes*?" he asked. She turned end looked at him, from hie tousled head down to his little brown knees, and smiled wistfully. "No, I'm not" she said. "Oh!" Thomas seemed to lose all further Interest in her, but he looked anxiously round the lawn. "Where is she?" be asked at last in an eager whisper. -Who?" smiled the lady. "The stepmother." "I'm the stepmother," said the lafly. Thomas turned and surveyed her speechlessly. He gated at her masses of soft rippling hair, her tender, hasel eyes, her delicate oval face. "You!" he,said, incredulously. His disappointment was obvious. The stepmother flushed. "Then—then—you won't beat me, or lock me up, or starve me?" said Thomas in tones of heartfelt regret She laughed tremulously. "No, no—of course not." "They said you would," he said, reproachfully. "How silly of them," she laughed. - "But what 'zactly is a stepmother? They never really told me. I had a real mother once," he said with pride, "but she went to heaven. PYaps," with a sudden inspiration, "you're her come back." "No, no^" she said. y _ She knelt down as near him as she dared, and put oneliand timidly on his little brown knees. "I'm just a stepmother, and we'll be great friends, you and I. We'll have grand times together. And—and welt play here in the garden, and I'll put you to bed and kiss you and—" "But," broke in Thomas, solemnly, "we can't do that if you aren't a real one. William says he'd like'to see any woman kiss him 'cept his mother— and you are'nt a real mother, are you?" The stepmother answered oagerly: "Not a real one, dear, but—" "We can't do it if you aren't a real one," said Thomas, decidedly. There were some new puppies In the stable, and a new horse that James said belonged to the stepmother, and he had tea with James and James' wife in their little- cottage, and every* thing seemed as new and exciting as it always does the first day of holidays. — It was half past seven when he wan* dered into the drawing room. His father was there with the stepmother. "Well, young man," said his father, "this is a fine hour for little boys to be up. High time you were asleep. Gome and say good night" He bent down, and Thomas stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. s "Now go over and say good night to your stepmother." Thomas walked over to her and held out bis hand, politely. "Good night," he said, in his quaint serious way. The man frowned. "Aren't you going to kiss her, Thomas?" he asked. . Thomas turned to him. "I don't think so," be said. T o n see, she's not a real one." Thomas put himself to bed. He always performed the operation alone,, although one or other of the house* maids generally volunteered their services. There was a dull pais at his heart He wanted tome one. Be* wanted some one with soft, fluffy hair and dark eyes, like the stepmother, some one to say good night to and kiss. The stepmother was sitting alone In the drawing room. Thomas' father had just gone into the library to look for a book she wanted. But she was not thinking of Thomas' father—she was thinking of Thomas. She was thinking of his bine eyes, his untidy mop of hair, his little serfone mouth. She would so love to hold him on her knee, to Use hit little bTOwn toget- She wanted to go and look at aim in bed, if only she were sure he was asleep. She, dared not go unless she were certain.

Work May Easily Be Dene at Heme by Anyone Who le at All Handy in Use of the Needle. The evening, drees hanger Is a very dainty affair, and is a bit of work that can be made entirely at borne by anyone who is handy with the needle. The frame is a strong piece of wire bent into a heart shape, ending with a hook at the top, but before bending It Into shape It must be covered. From the book to the point of the heart should be about twelve inches. Four feet of wire will make the heart, exclusive of the hook, which should be of the.wire twisted, seeing a thin wire is used. The covering is of inch-wide pink satin ribbon, two lengths being placed back to back and sewed through twice its entire length to make a casing through which the wire is run. Five yards of ribbon will be necessary, as It Is fulled over the wire, which creates llttl frills on either edge. If wider frills are desired use a wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted with the ribbon and a bow of wider ribbon Is sewed at its base, from which depend strands of pink baby ribbon supporting tiny scent sachets, writes Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The advantage of this improved holder compared with the wooden frame is its lightness. The shoulders do not slip from the hanger; sleeves can be pinned to the ribbon cover should they be of heavy beads; also the dress can be pinned at the belt to the point of the heart should it be necessary. Sometimes a heavy sash or ornament will drag a gown when hung upon the ordinary holder. Speaking of the ordinary holder, I see changes there, too, and, in my opinion, for the better. Tapestry is used for the covering after padding, instead of the daintier ribbons, which quickly soil and look badly. A banger, covered in rich, deep tones of tapestry, will be a Joy forever. The craze for the French gilt has reached the prosaic hangers, and after the tapestry is shirred over the padded wooden frame a border of tiny roses in French gilt Is set all around as a decoration. I see no sense In this. I fancy, too, the gilt might rub the lining of the Holder for Evening Gowns. garment resting upon the hanger and make It wear badly. Of course, the trimming adds much to the beauty of the article, but it does not seem practical. Another change is in the per* fuming and in the way It Is added. Only such odors as lavender, pine, clover and lavender-cedar are used, and these are put Into the wadding covering the frames, not as separate sachets (except in the case of the evening gown holders), which is well, for the little bags were often in the way when the garments were constantly in use, dangling and catching here and there as they will. • • * . • - • •-.-j*- Varied Neck Finishes. There are indications that tall, closefitting stock collars will be part of the winter sartorial scheme, though as yet these tall collars swathe only the back and sides of the throat the front being slashed .down In a V that makes for comfort at least a little while longer. Sometimes a plaited frill stands up from the tall collar at the back, Increasing the effect of height but the decollete bodice and blouse are going out of fashion and rarely does the V at the front—in the newest modelsextend below the throat line. Smart little cravats attached to snap fasteners are made of various materials and m various colors and with several of these little cravats and two smart blouses a number of neck finishes may be effected. WINTER SUIT* Distinctively smart Is this suit of black and white checked wool. Coat fastens with steel buttons st front. Note the graceful lines of the newly draped skirt. COSTUME FOR THE WINTER Of as Much Importance to the Woman of Fashion as Are Those of Summer. For winter sports the girl must be just as smartly equipped as during the summer, days, when she was so Immaculate In white linen and buckskin. The winter girl is a trim figure in her sporting clothes. She wears a short, heavy skirt, preferably of some dark woolen material; a heavy jersey, of white angora, trimmed with huge fur collar, and on her head is a jaunty little hat Some of the newest of these winter sporting hats are made of chamois, a warm and durable material; also adjustable to many different shapes. Often the cap Is in the natural chamois shade, a light yellow, a color particularly becoming to brunettes. Sometimes it Is dyed to match the skirt of the costume, or again, it Js in some brilliant shade, supplying a brilliant touch of color to the whole outfit A new thing in sporting equipment is the fur trimmed jersey. This Is a Parisian idea, which originated in the summer and has been carried on into the winter outfits. Bands of skunk, fox, mink or even sable trim the newest sweaters and often a.huge collar and cuffs of the fur are used instead of bands. 10HETHIM USEFUL FOR X M U Hold M the best Atoms mort mi er j where.

Blsck Linings Used. It is interesting to note that black satin linings are being Introduced on many of the new tailored models—on almost all the smart coats made of navy cloth or serge, and also on coats in light colors. There Is something very attractive about a black satin lining in a serge suit of the classic order. Such a lining supplies the little mannish touch which makes the suit original and a thing apart from the ready-made costumes which are to be found in the stores. A little while ago everyone, wanted white satin linings; then it became the fashion to have fancy brocade or shot taffeta.

How President Lincoln Came to Grant Son's Unique Request. Tad Lincoln wanted a Christmas gift such as perhaps no other president's son ever wanted before or since. "Father," sold Tad, "there is something I'd like'for Christmas, if you'll give it to me." As the son asked the Question bis father looked at the boy over the rims of his spectacles in a grave way and asked: "What is that, my son?' "I want a theater," said Tad. "Well, my boy, I don't know that i have any objection." said the president "There are plenty of them, 1 suppose, in the toy shops." "Oh, but I don't want a toy theater," protested the youngster. "I want a real one. There isn't any reason why we shouldn't have a theater in the White House." Mr. Lincolu was not at first disposed to take the suggestion favorably, but Tad, who was his favorite child and at that time eleven years old, was per sisteut, and at length the indulgent parent yielded, This was just before the Christmas of 18G3—too late to have the theater ready for the holidays, many preparations being required. But it is a matter of history, though known to few, that not long after the follow tng New Year's day the boy's ambition was realized, a room on the second floor of the executive mansion being' set aside for the purpose and a. stage erected, with gas footlights and.simple scenery.

President Buchanan, with Miss Lane, "the golden beauty of the White House," gave grand fetes to the young people of the capital in- 1858-9 on Christmas eve. The maidens wore em pire gowns and high combs. To each guest Miss Lane gave a sprig of holly berries a9 a souvenir. Perhaps the most attractive event of President Johnson's administration was the Christmas party for children given to please his nephews and niece* and'their friends.

About ten clays before Christmas la the City of Mexico the puestos in the Calle do San Diego begin to grow festive with evergreens, flowers, bright berries and other greens brought in from the mountains by the paisanoa to delight the eye and tempt the purses of the promenaders. In the booths of the neighboring Calle de San Juan are displayed fruits, nuts aud candles, and still others offer angels, shepherds, sheep, mules, oxen and other objects suggestive of the Saviour's birth. Probably the greatest attraction for the Mexican children are the pinataa. Peddlers may be seen sauntering along the streets carrying long poles which are strung with varicolored plnatas of every description, draped with tinsel These represent flowers, fruits, animals and even men and women, and each contains a jar filled with goodies. They range in price from 25 centavos to several ^dollars, according to their degree of elaborateness. The pinata Is suspended from the celling or hung In the courtyard.

T IS a question whether the families helped or the workers helping them get most joy out of the Christmas distribution. A real settlement worker, one imbued with the right spirit, will tell you that only one who has visited the homes of the poor and the Buffering on Christmas eve can realise the pleasure of bringing happlneBs and .sunshine Into these homes. Many settlement visitors, who have given up the work for some reason or another, but who return to assist with the Christmas distributions, give generously from their own purses that the baskets may be larger and more families aided. Wealthy women, who have never d o n e settlement work, enter into the Santa Claus spirit and visit the alley and tenement districts of the large cities on the night b e f o r e Christmas, t h e i r autom6biles heavily laden with toys, turkeys and good things to . eat They employ investigators to canvass the section In which they are Interested a week before the holidays, and the distribution is made according to their reports. Oftcntime* •mall trees are sent to the hornet, with glass balls, trimmings and candy toys, and the donors, with the aid of their chauffeurs and the parents of the children, fix the tree while the little tots are asleep. Though little known, Santa Claus' work in the slums of the big cttlea Is carried on along systematic lines to overcome any overlapping of the multitude of good intentions. In dayi gone by, charitably inclined women would leave a large basket of provision in a house in ignorance Of another basket hidden in the closet And it was not unusual for two or three workers to meet in the same kitchen at the one time, each burdened with good things for the one family. This Is an error of the past; for now the Christmas giving has been systematized. Settlement workers of the various societies and representatives of the wealthy private givers compile a list of those they will assist, and all go over their lists carefully together. '_ Although the Christmas giving Is all cut and dried a few days before the time, Santa Claus' secret is not given away. Half of the pleasure would be gone if the families knew that the visitors were coming with food and toys in abundance. It Is true that those who are visited and quitted by the private workers have a Bhrewd suspicion, after they have told their tale of woe and received the sympathy of the visitor, that something substantial it to follow. The regular settlement workers know their ground pretty well; they know which famlllet have had a hard road' to travel and are putting up a good battle against the tide of misfortune. The settlement workers have little Investigating to do before the holidays; their entrance Into a home or tenement It always greeted with surprise, for they generally make It a point to go where they are least expected ' "The poor are always with us" it doubly true at Christmas time. Families who can barely exist, who do not know where the next day1* bread tt coming from, oaa certainly not afford any- axtrat for the holiday season. They consider themselves fortunate if they have a loaf or two of bread and a small piece of meat for the Christmas dinner and coal for the kitchen toe. No one appreciates this seamy tide of the bright Chrittmaa story more than the charity worker. She knows that tribulations exist at Christmas time at during any other part of the year. Tears of experience have shown her how to use tact and good Judgment on her travels and where the cannot leave good cheer, the can at least make the sorrows and trouble* easier to bear. The "Angel of the Settlement" knowt, more than any one else, that there are many catet whan the word "Merry Chrittmaa" would sound like a mockery; where the hand of death, far Instance, ha* been heavily felt rfjjnen ft take* away the chief provid- | | of a large faatty. <6he know*, alto, that the Chrittmaa spirit it cherished by thq poor a* wall a* the wealthy.

The hearts of many men who have been separated from their wives and families become softened at the holidays draw near, and it isn't uncommon for the settlement worker to find them together when the comet with the Chrlstma* basket Many prodigal tons return on Christmas eve. A striking case of this kind that occurred two yean ago was run across by a settlement worker In Philadelphia. She said that she had never witnessed a scene on any stage that could equal It It was a real case of where the Christmas prayer of a broken-hearted mother was answered by the return of her boy. ' The son ran away from home seven years earlier, when a youth of sixteen years. He had a good home and the family •consisted of his parents, an older brother and a tlster. His father was a hard-working man and used all hit earnings for his home.. The younger boy, being the baby of the family, was the pet of all; but he had a wild disposition, and he wanted to tee something of life. He decided to run away from home and go West When he reached the ranches of Arizona he found that the cowboy life watnt at bright at it was painted. •He longed for home many a time, but vowed that he would not return a failure. He persevered until he had made good, though it took seven year* tor him to do it Hit fearlessness and daring attracted the attention of the owner of the ranch, and he placed him In charge of another place. "When the young man had a goodly wad of bills) accumulated he decided to return In time for Christmas. He reached the old house to find that another family was living there, and he learned from neighbor* that hit father was dead; that hi* titter had grieved to over hit disappearance that the died shortly after he had left, and that hit brother had been killed In an accident The mother, doubly aged .with grief, had been left alone and was subsisting aa beat the could in a third-story room. The ton lost no time and arrived in the room just after the settlement worker bad reached there with her basket of provisions. The mother had just finished telling her etory to the sympathetic listener when this latest prodigal returned. "No one can really appreciate," said a settlement worker In another city, "how happy'one feels utter visiting the hornet of the poor on Chrittmaa eve. The gratitude of one woman alone last year was enough to recompense me for the work I did. This woman's husband was in the penitentiary tawing an 18-year term far murder. It appear* that he and a companion were working in the cranberry bog*. They quarreled, and in a scuffle this man atabbed hit opponent Ho made hit wife promise aha would never allow the family of ttx to be separated. She not only kept tuam together by taking in washing and working until all hour* of the night, but sne refused to accept outside aid la any shape or form. There would new* bean no Chrtstmaa in this home, and It was a delicate undertaking to bring a woman like this any provisions. But I explained to her that it was a present and her joy was only equaled by that of her children, who were more than delighted with their new toys. "I have been in homes where the children never had toys, and I have brought them their first playthings. In one case there weirs two children, a boy and a girl, Pepino and Mechaimo. Their father died, when they were babies, and the mother supported them. She had come to this country a bride and was not well versed with the American way of doing thingu. She did not even know how to make a rag doll for the 'children. We brought those children a small tree, decorated It, and gave them plenty of toys. Words couldn't tell the happiness of those little one*. "There i* more pleasure in the work then you would imagine We see many sad scenes, sorrow and joy mingled together, but we also and much to amuse us. Last year wa took a basket to an old colored woman. Her husband was a paralytic and she had two orphaned grandchildren to keep. Christmas to her was to be the same as any other day until we arrived with the provisions and toys. She glanced at us as we entered the room, and when we put, the basket on the table, she stared at it and pointed to herself, aa much as to say, 'For met I said, 'Yes, Lisa, that's for you.' You could see nothing but the whites of her eyes, and she raised both of her hands above her head, clasped them together and said, 'De Lord be praised.' That was all she said; but she repeated it time and again. One time her eyes would be aa large a* dollars and she would Joyously sing the 'De Lord be praised' and again she would be sad and mournful and moan 'De Lord be praised/ » "Finally her husband, who was unable to leave his chair, lost his patience and he shouted, 'Lisa, good Lord, woman, has you done lost your head altogether? Why don't you thank the ladies?' Then, aa a sort of apology to us, be said: 'You'll have to excuse her, ladies, fer she has surely done lost her head altogether/ As we left the room and glanced back, poor Liza was still standing there, looking at us with her hands clasped before her and slowly nodding her head saying: De Lord be praised/ We concluded Lisa knew better than her husband. She was thanking the right one* "I have witnessed many reooasiHations of familiet of foreigner* on Chrittmaa eve. The afternoon that I spent at the immigration station last year was one of the plotstntcst of my life. It was interesting to note the expression of gladness oa the faces'of the children in the cottamea of their various, fatherlands. They couldn't speak a word of English, but they could show you that they were grateful for the playthings. "I will never forget my first Christmat visitation. It was my initial experience with social service work. One of the first places we visited waa in a court, a poor German family.

There are Inspectors in the United States department of agriculture have found in the course of their work that ignorance or carelessness on the part of stock owners has frequently led to fresh outbreaks of infectious disease after it had been supposed that the previous ones had been completely stamped out Comparatively few farmert, It It said, realise the importance of the scientific disinfection of premises which have once harbored infected stock. When it Is remembered that the germ which causes' tuberculosis in cattle measures about one-thousandth of an inch in length, it is obvious that the "lick-and-promise" method of cleaning la no obstacle at all to the existence of the disease. The germ of glanders Is little larger. These two germs are thrown off by diseaaed animals in large quantities. In the average stable they have no difficulty in finding many lodging places whence any one of a hundred different thing* may cava* them to emerge, and start a fresh outbreak upon the farm. When a stable haa once harbored diseased animals, therefore, absolute disinfection with sufficiently powerful disinfectants is the only way to insure the stock from another visitation. In Farmers' Bulletin 480, "Practical Methods of Disinfecting Stables," some of the most easily obtainable disinfectants are named, .tnd the best methods of applying them discussed. In the first place it is imperative that the stable be thoroughly cleaned before any disinfectant at all Is applied. The various surfaces such at ceilings, walls, partitions, floors, etc., should be swept free from cobwebs and dust Where the filth hat been allowed to accumulate, this should be removed by thorough scrubbing. If the woodwork has become soft and porous so that it affords a good refuge for the disease germ, it should be torn down and burned and new wood substituted. All refuse of every description should be removed to a place inaccessible to live stock and there either burned or treated with a solution of chloride of lime in the proportion of six ounce* to one gallon of water. If the floor of the stable is of earth, the surface toil should be removed to a depth of four inches or more and new earth substituted. It it better, however, to take advantage of this opportunity to lay down a concrete floor, which in the end will be found more satisfactory as well aa more sanitary. The stable thus thoroughly cleansed and stripped of all it* odd* and end* and refuse is now ready for the application of the disinfectant A disinfectant is a drug which haa the power of destroying germ* merely by eom- TEACHING EWE TO OWN LAMB V Among Other Plane Advocated I* That of Taking Skin From Dead Animal and Placing on Another. (By BL M, NELSON. Oregon Experiment] Station.) Nearly every year one lamb or more diet, even out of the wmall flocks that run on the general farm. In such cases the ewes may be made stepmother*. But of course/it will be necessary to get the ewe to own the strange Iamb. Thia may be accomplished in either of the following wayt: The akin may be taken from the dead lamb and placed over the- lamb to be adopted. Bwe* recognise their lamb* by the scent, and the odor of the lambskin will make the ewe believe that the lamb 1* her own. The •km should he removed to about fortyeight hoars, or sooner if asdssnaty. The ewe nay he caught and held a number of these drugs, varying considerably in efficacy, and some of them dangerous to animal aa well as germ life. Bichloride of mercury is one of the moat powerful, but it haa the great disadvantage of being a violent poison and in consequence great care mutt be used when handling it to keep it away from all live stock. For ordinary purposes it is probable that cresol or the compound' solution of creaol, known as liquor creaolis composltua, is best adapted to general use. When the latter is used, it should he mixed with water in the proportion of four or five ounces to a gallon. Cresol is not as soluble at the oompound solution and should, therefore, be thoroughly stirred while mixing. If a grade of the drug guaranteed to be W per cent pure is secured, two or three ounce* to a gallon of water will be sufficient To apply the disinfectant on anything but a very limited surface, a strong spray pump is essential. The pump should be equipped with IS feet of none with a Are-foot" section of iron pipe, with a spraying nossle at one end, attached to i t The entire Interior of the stable should be saturated with the solution forced through this apparatus. Special attention should be given to feeding troughs and drains, as it is in these that the disease germs are moat likely to find their first resting places. After a thorough spraying with the disinfectant it ia. well to apply a lime wash containing four or five ounces' of chloride of lime to each gallon. In many cases, however, it will save trouble if this wash Is combined with the disinfectant This can he done In the following manner: for five gallons of disinfecting fluid, slake 7¼ pounds of lime, using hot water if necessary tor start action. Mix to a creamy consistency with .water. Stir in IS fluid ounces of cresol, at least 95 per cent pure, and make up to Ave gallons by adding water. In case compound solution of creaol is used, add 30 fluid ounces Instead of 15. 8tir the whole mixture thoroughly and, tf it is to be Applied through a spray nestle, strain through' a wire sieve. 8tir frequently when applying and keep covered when not in Inforce the Bird Law.

MESMERIZED Poisonous Drug Still Pretty Used. PRETTY CANDLE SHADE TABLE DECORATION MADE AT HOME. EASILY Simple Materials, With a tittle Work and the Exercise of One's In* germtty, About All That Is Needed. Nothing adds more to the homelike air of a house than prettily shaded, lighted candles, whether upon the dining room table, in the living rooms or the boudoir. Some of the very prettiest are homemade* as the Illustration proves. This is made from four circular doilies of sheer handkerchief linen edged with chmy lace one inch wide, each doilymeasuring six inches in diameter, for a small shade when finished, larger slsea up to lamp shades to be In proportion, of course. If only one shade is to be made, the best and cheapest way is to cut the four squares from a handkerchief, because then there will be no waste. Linen is so wide that even when the smallest quantity is bought more than half will be wasted. A woman's handkerchief is ample for a small shade. A man's will make the larger. Also doilies all ready stamped for working can be bought at ten cents each. However, one may be more individual if she can trace her own design, and as they are so simple this should not be difficult to do. For instance, if she traced the design of her dinner ware upon the linen and worked it out in the same coloring the light shining through the linen would give the shade all the impression of being porcelain, too. Another effective design that would shed a soft glow over the white cloth would be a sprinkling of autumn 1¾¾ • & :$?:•+ •••• &f" * S . ' • : • • - • .

Ten cents for embroidery silk will be ample, while the square wire shades come from ten cents upwards. In putting on the lace the outer edge must be perfectly fiat and without the slightest bit of fullness. For this reason it is better to use quite a narrow lace edging. The inner edge must be drawn up, of course. • Then it is basted neatly to the edge of the doily, and stitched by machine. A certain crispness in the linen is necessary to keep the shade firm. This is obtained by putting through warm water and then through a thin boiled starch. They can be ironed, needlework downward, on flannel, but there is no better way of pressing embroidered linens than to lay them dripping upon the sides of a> porcelain bathtub and leaving them there until bone dry. They will look like new, the embroidery will stand out clearly (embroidery upward this time), and there is no hot iron to fade the colors. Every scrap of air must be pressed out, and the edges of the lace be clearly defined when laying on the tub. This done, leave the article absolutely alone.

By HENRY W. LONQFELLOW. !5hree kinys camo riding from far away- Melchior and Uaspar and Baltaaar. flforea wiee men out of the east were they. And they traveled by night and they alept by day, For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star. • 3Jhe star was BO beautiful, large and clear That all the other stara of the sky :ame a white mist In the atmosphere, id by this they knew that the comina was near Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy. Three caskets they bore on their saddle-, bows, .Tt>ree caskets of gold with colden key*. Their robes were of crlmion <«ilk with rows Of bells and pomegranates andvfurbelow*. Their turbans like blossoming almond trees. Azid.eo the three kings rode Into the west Through the dusk of night, over hill and dell, j&sd sometimes they nodded with beard on breast And sometimes talked as they paused to rest With the people they met at some wayside well. •^Of the child that is born," said Baltaaar, "Good people. I pray you tell us the news, ¾r we in the east have aeen his star d have ridden fast and have ridden far To And and worship the King of the Jews." And the people answered, "You ask In vain; We know of no king but Herod the Great." They thought the wise men were men Insane As they spurred their horses across the plain Like riders in haste who cannot wait And when they came to Jerusalem Herod the Great, who had heard this thing, Sent for the wise men and questioned them And said, "Go down unto Bethlehem Sknd bring tidings of this new King." SENT FOB THE WISE MEN AND QUi»- TIONED THEM. fio they rode away, and the star stood still, The only one In the gray of morn— ITes, it stopped—it stood still of Its own free will Slight over Bethlehem on the hill, The city of David, where Christ was born. And the three kings rode through the gate and the guard, t Through the silent street till their horses turned And neighed as they entered the great inn yard, Cut the windows were closed, and the doors were barred, And only a light In the stable burned. And cradled there in the scented hay, In the air made sweet by the breath of kine, The little child in the manger lay^ The child that would be King some day ' Of a kingdom not human, but divine. Bis mother, Mary of Nazareth, ~8at watching beside his plaee of rest, , Watching the even flow of his breath, Cor the 5oy of life and the terror of death Were mingled together in her breast Sphey laid their offerings at his feet The gold was their tribute to a king; <fhe frankincense, with its odor sweet !Was for the priest; the paraclete, The myrrh for the body's burying. And the mother wondered and bowed her head And sat a s still as a atatue of stone.

While there have been many discussions as to the relative value of the different branches of an army, there Is uo doubt, according to a writer in the Scientific American, but that it 1H the infantry that wins battles. While it la probable the success of a battle will depend to a large extent on the support of the field artillery, it is certain that the principal and most Important arm is the Infantry, which in practically every case must decide the iinal Issue. The cavalry may be the first to be drawn into a battle and the artillery may destroy the enemy's artillery, but 41 battle is never won until the infantry baa driven back the enemy's lines. The usual mode of advancing for the infantry is to deploy them in a line with a long interval between each soldier. This naturally is for the purpose of offering a smaller target for the enemy. It makes It more difficult, however, for the leaders to keep as good control over the men. and for that reason one of the objects of field artillery is to make the enemy's troops deploy early. Rugs, Slippers, Bags, aad Suit Cases, Etc. Mens Suits, Overcoats and Haberdashery Old Turkish Custom As long ago as 1613 Coryate visited Constantinople and has left s minute account of its manners and customs. Among other matters he notes that "it Is the custom that whensoever any lire ariseth in the city to hang up him in whose bouse it beginneth, as now a cook in whose house St begun was banged up presently after the fire ceased." The Turks themselves, it appears, were models of good breeding. "The Turk doth never at the saluting of bis ( friend at any time of the day or when he drlnketh to him at dinner or supper put off his turban, as we Christians do our hats one to another, but bowetb his head and puttetb his right band upon his breast, so that he utterly dis liketh the fashion that is used? amonK us of putting off our hats. Therefore, when he wisheth any ill to his enemy he prayeth God to send him no more rest than a Christian's hat." , YOU CANNOT DO BETTER All Purchases Xmas Wrapped at Your Request. THAN TO VISIT W. J.

Those under ten grains are sold by the ounce, aoove that by the grain. Color has a deal to do with the value The white pearls go mostly to Europo and the yellow ones to India. In Australia an ounce of good white pearls will fetch up to $500, but sometimes realizes only a fifth of that amount The yellow pearls may be rated on an average at about half the value of the white ones. The seed pearls used for cheap jewelry can be had for $5 per ounce and discolored pearls for 7s. Gd., but if the discoloration is peculiar the value is sometimes enhanced. For the low class of seed pearls there is a constant demand among oriental physl- | dans and apothecaries, who grind them into a powder and administer it to patients as a cure for many ills. Virginia Wss Fifth Kingdom. Virginia is known as the Old Dominion because It was sometimes recognized as a Beparate dominion. Spenser, in 1590, dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Elizabeth, queen of England, France, Ireland and Virginia. When James VI. of Scotland came to the English throne Scotland was added and Virginia was called In com* pllment the fifth kingdom. And as Virginia stood firm for Charles II. after the execution of his father, Charles, in gratitude, caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Scotland and Ireland, as an Independent member of the kingdom. •*•&##»» Send home n e w s in the form of the Dispatch a s a welcome Christmas gift.

The digestive and disintegrating properties of the* juice of this fruit are seen in the fact that the native cooks in Ceylon wrap tough meat in fresh papaya leaves to make it tender, or apply a small quantity of the milky fluid to the surface of the meat, or put a small portion of the plant itself into the pot when the meat will not boil soft Papain, a chemical extract is said to be capable of digesting ten to twelve times its weight of egg albumen at the temperature of the human body.

Attack of the Cossacks The Russian Cossacks have a form of attack which Is peculiarly their own it is known as the "lava." Cossack horses are specially trained to carry out the maneuver. The leading sotnia (squadron) spreads out to right and left, and the others, at full speed, form up on either side of it in a semicircle or half moon. Every man with a lance is attended by a man wearing a sword, and all the officers are in front of the men of each sotnia. The other squadrons do not wait for a special order, but at ones adopt the same formation, endeavoring to surround the enemy from another side. With loud shouts reminiscent of the red Indian warwhoop the Cossacks rash down on the foe. end even though the first sssault be repulsed another "lava" poors down on the shaken enemy. This system of attack takes its name, of coarse, from tlM ttanld products of volcanic activity. —London Mail.

'. | Not many people know bow the seal i of the far north gets air when the Arct' .tic ocean is entirely coveted with,many I feet of ice. ' The small spotted seal, whic^ is a i hail- seal and not a fur bearer, is the hardy dweller of the northern waters. ' Under bis tough, thick skin be has an incb or., more' of\blub"er.,,; When the ice closes up the open water in the Arctic the seal selects a spot and be gins to drill a hole to the surface by pressing his warm nose against the ice. Nobody knows how many hours It takes him to accomplish his task, but he manages i t and, although he Is obliged to work most of the time because the surface of the hole Is continually freezing, he keeps it open all winter and obtains air. Seals have been known to drill in this manner through fifty feet of solid ice. Whether or not they take tarns in the slow drilling is not positively known. It is at these "seal holes" that the polar bear seeks food in the winter and there the Eskimo waits, spear in hand, for his weekly supply of meat—Youth's Companion.

Glen H. Beurmann, Howell The Quality Furniture Store We Pay the Freight on all Furniture and Crockery to l>e Delivered in Pinokney Christmas Sermon In Words of One Syllable. An innovation in sermons was the one delivered by the Rev. A. Smythe Palmer, M. A., O. D., vicar of Holy Trinity church, Wanstead, England, on the birth of Christ. This sermon is entirely in words of one syllable. HE spt'JiKs tlie mind or God who tells us aud would have rms know what God thinks, for if it were not for biin we could not know at all. "God did so Jove the world that he gave his own, one Son, to be born at this time for us» to the end that all who trust in him should not die, but have the life which lasts for aye.'1 He came and ''dwelt with us" on earth that men might set* with their owu eyes at least ode pure life, lived free from sin. He was made "flesh of our tiesh" and "bone of our bone," "God with us" in truth, but man no less, true man ;ind true God—a child 'like one of our own. That is the strange thing, so rteop that no man. wise as he may be. can quite take it in. He was to be "God with us." but at the same time "a worm and no man"— less than u man in the grief and pain and scorn which he bore. The texts take our thoughts back to the birth of this day. It is a birthday for the whole world to keep. All men can sny: "To us this child is born: to ns God gave this son of his love. I have my share in it." Asd so we are all glad of heart and make our church gay with plants and flowers and sins our hymns of joy and keep the feast with gifts and good fare. It is the birth day of nil our hopes. Now, it was good news of great joy that the host from on high brought to the herds who kept watch on their sheep in the fields. And It is still so. For us, as much as for them, was born in that small town one strong to save. "Which It Christ the Lord." It Is old news now* and I fear it falls on our dull, cold hearts like some old tale of long past time which baa lost its charm. Oh, let us not shut our ears to It as some of those first men did! When be came to bis own bis .own would not take him in. They said. There Is ao room for Wm bere"-no rrmn ft tlm, im> wtom tr ramr tfl.lt- It wasTnot anTun. you must Know," MUH one of ours, but a mere bare court where those on the road might rest—a "khan" they call it in the east. Does It not seeuj to us a sad and a strange sight that a young babe should be shut out in the cold night—God in want of house room? A poor place, ar best, as nide and rough as we can well think, and, such as it was. quit** full with the crowd who had come first The host of the inn sends them off He tells them there is a cave :it tinback of the inn where the beasts n:v kept; they may find rest there, if they will. That cave, where the birth of all time took place, is still shown in the rock. A great church built there marks the spot. Then, poor, mean and cold, it was the best place he could find to lay his head. "The fox has his hole and the bird of the air her nest, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay bis head." So. in , that cave in the rock, the stall of the i ox and the ass. in the crib out of which they ate their hay. the newborn babe was laid. .lust tbink what all this i means—God made flesh, God born as I man in this world of ours, that he might find a way to bring back man to I God! He hid bis might and men hid ' their face from him. None but the j herds who kept their sheep saw or ; knew of it till they fell to the ground j in a great blaze of light, and a host of bright ones In the sky sang such a song as no choir on earth has snng. which gave praise to God on high*. "and on earth peace, good will to men." Those herds had faith to go and seek the child of whom tbey were told.

The Christinas tree was rarely seen in England until made popular by the German husband of (^neen Victoria, and. while it is universal there at the present time, it is the Yule log and the mistletoe that hold the center of attraction. Long before England became a Christian country the Yule log was burned in honor of a pagan deity at the winter solstice, and the infectious spirit of cheer and good will which prevailed at that time survived when Christianity spread abroad. Tbe festivities in England begin with the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve. In many parts of the country tbe whole family, including serv ants, gather about tbe hearth and "beguile the long evening with rural games, legendary jokes and oft told Christmas tales." One of tbe oldest customs observed in England is the singing of Christmas carols from house to house by Christmas carolers. Some of the carols sunt: today are at least 400 years old. Christmas Balls. I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old, familiar carols play And, wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, rood will to men! -Longfellow. Resistance by Air. The effects of air resistance are well shown In the twelve and a half miles Simplon tunnel, where an exceptionally high amount of energy is required for running the electric trains. Tbe tunnel, which Is fifteen feet wide and eighteen feet high, with a sectional area of 250 square feet has a ventilating current of 3.530 feet cubic of air per second, maintained by two large blast fans at the Brigue end and two exhaust fans a t Iselle. Trains going with this current encounter less resistance than in open air up to fifteen and a half miles an hour, bat at higher speeds or in tbe opposite direction the resistance la much greater than outside, Meting by gravity down the seven per out thousand maximum gradient a train, even though going with the current cannot exceed thirty-five mlJes an hour on account of the braking by the air. I Ancient Astronomy. 1 A most interesting discovery in Egypt has been made, where an ob servatory has been found at Meroe at the bottom of a well in an under ground bathing estiblishtnent. the advantage of such an observatory being that the stars could lie seen by day ns well as.by night. This observatory, it is claimed, was evidently a copy of the famous observatory at. Assuan, where the circumference of the earth was first determined—a work which was said to have been done nt the bottom of the well. The chamber in which the astronomer's instruments were placed was ideally fitted for its purpose. Only a strip of s*ky was observable.

About eight o'clock last Saturday eveuiug, Pinckney people wt-re notified by telephone that Robert Edwards of Audersou had been instantly killed by the Grand Trunk train going west. " Drs. C. L, and H. F. Sigler were summoned, but Edwards was past human aid. Mr. Edwards was about 53 years «|age aud formerly came from Punrt, Ontario, to act as mauager of the cheese factory at Anderson, Ho was well liked by all who becime acquainted with him. Saturday evening he went down to the west bound passenger traiu as usual to assist in removing empty milk cans from the car/ Whether be slipped on the ice before the arrival of the train, and was thus accidently thrown unconscious in the pathway of the oncoming locomotive or whether Iiuman hands placed his body on the track after* knocking him into insensibility, will ba brought out at the inquest to be held next Tuesday. It is reported that the engineer saw the body before the train quite reached the spot where it lay but oot in time to stop the engine. The body was earned about a hundred yards,' crushing nearly every b'one. A sister. Mrs. J. E. Roberts, came from Detroit Monday to make arrangements for the federal which wa? held in Duart, Ontario, Tuesday morning, December 14. Besides Mrs. Roberts, he is survived by ,four other sisters and one brother. The Hoe and lae DODI'Q The map with the hoe has been recognized by every age and nation as a fundamental source of prosperity, and while our literature abounds with encomiums in his behalf, the half has never been told. But the man with the dough is equally as impartant at this period of our growth and development as the man with the hoe. Attemps have been made to discredit him, but when it comes to building factories and railroads aud large industrial enterprises which are necessary to oar prosperity, we must face the man with the money and our destinies as a nation of influence aud power are largely in his hands. It takes the man with the hoe and the man with the dough combined to make civilization, and one is inter-dependent upon the other. , Fresh air is so cheap that we all ought to be able to get it. Course for Housekeepers There will be offered at Michigan Agricultural College beginning January 4th, an eight weeks course for women designated as the Housekeepers Course. This course was offered for the first time last winter and the attendance was very gratifying. The work is intensely practical and helpful and is given at the same time as the short course in agriculture for men. The work offered will include cooking, sewing, vegetable and landscape gardening, poultry and subjects bearing directly upon the home, such as home decoration, sanitation, aursing and reading. This course will be one of great value to the housekeepers of Michigan and will furnish those whose husbands decide to take one of courses in agriculture, an opportunity to attend college at the same tine. The minimum age limit is placed at 21 years, except in the case of married women. This has been uiatle necessary because of the fact that these women will be placed in the private homes of E. Lansing and it will be impossible for th6 college authorities to exercise the same supervision as that given to regular women students. Excellent laboratories for cooking and sewing have been fitted up in preparation for the course and with the facilities at hand the work will be most pleasant and profitable. Those contemplating taking the course should write the President, J. L. Snyder, East Lansing for circular giving outline of the course aud full description of the work offered. Application should be made as early as possible so that arrangements may be macle for the accomodation of all who deBire to attend. 1 —r*—>^aajpM«a^f^*HBja*j» • / ^^ Card of Thanks Our sincere gratitude is extended to all friends and neighbors and to the "Este Fideles" class of the M.

IN Conflicting Reports as to Condition of Kaiser Wilhelm, Who is Admitted Jo Be Indisposed—Reports as to Nature of Illness Vary—Latest News From the Front, East and West i .. < London, Dec. 12.—Berlin is ready to concede the loss of the Dresden, the sole remaining unit of the German squadron destroyed by .Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee off the Falkland islands in the South Atlantic Tuesday. The imperial press bureau, from which emanates all official information given for publication, in a statement Issued apparently before the destruction of the Nuernberg became known there, says, after recording the sinking of the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig and the escape of the Nuernberg and Dresden in the main engagement: "In view or the superiority of the enemy's fleet, which consists particularly of big, fast, well-armed ships, there seems little chance that our two cruisers can long evade pursuit. We must therefore alBo reckon with the loss of both these ships." Revised reports of the casualties on the British ships during the engagement showed seven men had been [killed and four wounded. No casualties were reported among the officers. The Buenos Aires dispatch quotes private German sources as admitting that the German losses would reach 3,000. Report Other German Losses. A dispatch from Coronel via Valparaiso says a merchant ship that arrived at Conception last night reported it had intercepted a wireless message stating that the German transport Fiinz Eltel Frledrich has been sunk by a Japanese warship. It Us reported she had 1,600 German marines aboard. The German armored cruiser Friedrich Karl Is reported to have been 'sunk in the Baltic sea by a mine and Jnosl of her crew drowned, accord- -inj^Jo an official statement Issued by the French ministry of marine today. The Frledrich Karl carried 557 officers and men. Nuernberg Also 8unk. London, Dec. 11.—Admiral Sturdee reports the sinking of the German cruiser Nuernberg, fourth to be accounted for of Admiral Graf von Spee's squadron, defeated off Falkland Islands. Another report Is that the cruiser Dresden, fifth of Von Spee's fleet has been Bent down. 8hlps In British Fleet Montevideo, Dec. 11.—The British fleet that attacked and sank four vessels of the German fleet commanded by Admiral Graf von Spee in an engagement off the Falkland islands Tuesday Is reported here to have numbered nine warships, two of which were dreadnaughts, thought to be the Lion and the Indefatigable. Von Spee's Misfortune. London, Dec. 10.—The British navy has squared the account with Admiral von Spee. In the most terrific naval engagement in point of guns and ton* nage yet fought In the war, Vice-Admlral Sir Frederick C. D. Sturdee's cruiser squadron engaged the German squadron of Von Spee, sunk Its flagship, the armored cruiser Scharnhorst of 11,240 tons, its sister ship, the Gneisenau, and the light cruiser Lelpslg of M00 tons. - The light cruisers Nuernberg and Dresden escaped and were pursued by the victorious British fleet Two colliers attached to the German fleet were captured.

The nervous breakdown which the emperor has suffered is severe, and diplomatists here do not believe, as is stated in the official German bulletins, that the kaiser Is only slightly ill. Physicians here say it is likely that inflammation of the lungs has set in. Dispatches received via The Hague say the kaiser was permitted to sit up and confer with the imperial chancellor for a few hours today. Paris reports that the crown prince has been summoned to his imperial father's bedside from the battlefields of Belgium. Reports of the nature of the emperor's illness still vary, though all agree that it is of a bronchial nature. Berlin has denied officially that he is suffering from pneumonia, a dispatch received via Amsterdam today saying that ne has catarrh of the throat, which has somewhat subsided in severity. English experts profess to believe that the kaiser has been ill ever since the war started.

The Russians have since advanced, in some places pursuing the columns of the.enemy, which are in disorderly retreat "The Germans delivered various at* tacks on the Russians at Lowicz and were repulsed with enormous losses, the Russians gallantly turning back seven assaults. * "During a successful advance south of Cracow, in spite of stubborn resistance, the Russians captured several German heavy guns and maxims and took 2,000 prisoners." Statement From Berlin. Berlin, Dec. 11 (wireless via Sayville).— The latest report from the fighting around Lodz shows the Russian resistance there is by no means broken. The new Russian positions on the Miazga are only some twelve or thirteen miles eastward from Lodz, demonstrating that much is yet to be done before the Russians can be considered definitely defeated. In these circumstances the battles In the vicinity of Lowicz gain added significance. If the Germans succeed in breaking through here the positions of the Russians behind the Miazga will be untenable. Germans 8torm Prtizasnyer. A German column advancing on the right bank of the Vistula stormed Prsasnysz and captured 600 Russians and some machine guns. On the left bank of the river the attack is continuing. East of the Masurian lakes the artillery duel continues.

The Germans are still working on their coast positions In the region of Zeebrugge, where they have mounted guns with which they hope to be able more effectively to reply to fire from the British ships, Germans Attack at Ypres, London, Dec 13.—Attacks of unprecedented ferocity were directed by the Germans against the allies' fines In the region of Ypres today.

Panama—Col. George W. Goethals, governor of the canal zone, was impelled to suggest to the government at Washington that two swift American torpedo boat destroyers be sta- 3oned at the Panama canal, one at each end, by the recent activity of belligerent warshipB and colliers In the vicinity of that Isthmian waterway.^ The action of the Australian collier 'Mallina, which left Balboa without clearance papers, and the fact that this and other colliers have shown a disposition to disregard the canal zone shipping laws actuated Col. Qoethals to take a decisive measure to preserve in every way the neutrality of the canal. Nearly all the colliers which have gathered in canal waters arrived without health certificates and in several instances the ships sailed without clearance papers. It is presumed that the steamers met and coaled the Austrians and English fleet which concentrated recently in the vicinity of the Pearl islands, which lis 60 miles southeast of Panama city. The United States torpedo boat destroyers requested by the governor are expected to do patrol duty and to promptly overhaul any belligerent craft attempting to disregard the canal regulations. Alleged violations of the canal shipping laws have, it is said, been the subject of complaint to Sir Claude C. Mallett, British minister to Panama, and also have resulted in causing orders to be given the fortifications to prevent unneutral colliers remaining in ports on the canal zone In disregard of the orders of the canal authorities. In the case of the collier Mallina, it is stated she arrived without clearance papers or a health certificate and with no coal or supplies. She attempted to buy $3,000 worth of supplies, consisting largely of articles intended for a Christmas dinner for a large force. She was refused the supplies and was ordered to depart because she refused to state her destination, as required by the canal zone laws. The collier Protesilaas Is pointed to as a similar case, ' It is stated there has been much wireless interference in canal waters on the part of eight colliers, which recently were In the vicinity of the canal, and also by Urge warship ueets, reported to be within 25 miles of both ends of the canal Italy Demands Satisfaction. Rome—Garon Sonnino, Italian minister of foreign affairs, has asked the Turkish government to liberate G. A. Richardson^ British consul at Hodeida, Arabia, who, K is alleged, recently was forcibly removed by Turks from the Italian consulate, where he had taken refuge, and was placed aboard a boat bound for an unknown destination. " The foreign minister also has asked the Ottoman government to give public satisfaction to Italy far the violation of the consulate.

CHAPTER I. The House of Mystery. A high md narrow gate of carefully Joined boards, standing ajar in a fence of the same construction! What is there in this to rouse a whole neighborhood and collect before it a croup of eager, anxious, hesitating people? This is Judge eetrender's place* and ^anyone who knows Shelby or the gossip of its suburbs knows that this bouse of his has not opened its doors to any outsider, man or woman, for over a dosen years; nor have his gates <been seen In all that time to gape at anyone's instance or to Stand unclosed to public intrusion. .The seclusion •ought was absolute." The sen and women who passed and repassed this corner many times a day were as ignorant as the townspeople in general of what lay behind the gray, monotonous exterior of the weatherbeatea boards they so frequently brushed against [The house was there, of course—they jail knew the house, or did once but (there were Tumors of another fence, a iaecond barrier, standing a few feet inmust have provoked response had the young man had any response to giro.

What has made him thus suddenly careless, he who has never been careless before? Honey? A bribe from the woman who had entered there? j What else was there to believe?

Judge Ostrander was a rocluse of the most uncompromising type; but he was such for only half his time. From ten in the morning till live In the afternoon, he came and went like any other cltlsen, fulfilling his judicial duties with the same scrupulous care as formerly and with more- affability. Indeed, he showed at times, and often when it was least expected, a mellowness of temper quite foreign to him in his early days. The admiration awakened by his fine appearance on the bench was never marred now by those quick and rasping tones of an easily disturbed temper which had given edge to his invective when he stood as pleader in the very court where he now presided as judge. But away from the bench, once quit of the courthouse and the town, the man who attempted to accost him on his way to his carriage or sought to waylay him at his own gate had need of all his courage to sustain the rebuff his presumption incurred. The son, a man of great ability who was making his way as a journalist m give of his father's peculiarities. Though he never came to Shelby—the rupture between the two, if rupture it were, seeming to be completethere were many who had visited him la his own place of business and pat such questions concerning the judge and his eccentric manner of living* ••} much further than a timid and heelwould not leave for court till his return— he had never, in all the eight years she had been sitting in that window making buttonholes, shown any hesitation in his methodical relocking of the gate and subsequent quick departure. But this morning he had lingered in the gateway peering to right and left in a way so unlike himself that the moment he was out of sight she could not help running down thev lane to see if hef suspicions were correct And they were. Not only had he left the gate unlocked, but he had done so purposely. She had about decided that It was only proper for her to enter and make sure that all was right with the judge when she saw a woman looking at her from the road—a woman all in purple even to the veil which hid her features. A little child was with her, and the two must have stepped into the road from behind some of the bushes, as neither of them were anywhere in sight when she herself came running down from the corner. It was enough to startle anyone, especially as the woman did not speak* but just stood silent and watching her through a veil the like of which was not to be found In Shelby, and which in itself was enough to rouse a decent woman's suspicions. She was so(amased at this that aha stepped back and attempted to address the stranger. But before she bad got They Buret Through the tsoond Qata. direction, bat left the saw of earV catty unsatisfied. And unsatisfied It had 'remained ap to this hour, when through aeddent— or was It treachery—the barrier to knowledge was down and the Question of years seemed at teat upon the point of being answered.

"And she''s in there still r "I haven't seen her come out" "Then what's the matter with you?" called a burly, high-strung woman, stepping hastily from the group and laying her hand upon the gate still standing temptingly ajar. 'It's no time for nonsense," she announced, as she pushed it open and stepped promptly in, followed by the motley group of men and women who, If they lacked courage to lead, certainly showed willingness to follow. One glance and they felt their courage rewarded. Rumor, which so often deceives, proved Itself correct in this case. A second gate confronted them exactly like the first, even to the point of being held open by a pebble placed against the post Aad a second fence, also! bunt upon the same pattern aa the one they bad just passed through; the two forming a double barrier aa mysterious to contemplate in fact as It had ever been In fancy.

"Look at this!" she whispered, pushing the curtain inward with a quick movement. Sunshine! A stream of it, dazzling them almost to blindness and sending them, one and all, pellmell back upon each other! However dismal the approach, here all was in brilliant light with every evidence, before them of busy life. The room was not only filled, but crammed, with furniture. This was the first thing they noticed; then, as their blinking eyes became accustomed to the glare and to the unexpected confusion of tables and chairs and screens and standing receptacles for books and pamphlets and boxes labeled and padlocked, they beheld something else. The judge was there, but In what a condition. From the end of the forty-foot room his seated figure confronted them, silent staring and unmoving. With clenched fingers gripping the arms of hie great chair and head held forward, he looked like one frosen at the moment of doom, such the expression of features usually so noble, and now almost unrecognisable were it not for the snow white of his locks and his unmistakable brow. Frosen! Not an eyelash quivered, nor was there any perceptible movement in his sturdy chest His eyes were on their eyes, but he saw no one; and down upon his head and over his whole form the sunshine poured from a large window let into the celling directly above him* lighting', up the strained and unnatural aspect of his remarkable countenance end bringing into sharp prominence the commonplace objects cluttering the table at his elbow. Inarticulate murmurs swelled and ebbed, now louder, now more faintly as the crowd surged forward or drew back, appalled by that moveless, breathless, awe-compelling figure. A breathless moment; then the horrified murmur rose here, there and everywhere: "He's dead! He's dead!" When quietly and convincingly a bluff masculine voice spoke from the doorway behind them: "You needn't be frightened. In an hour or a half-hour he will be the same as ever. My aunt has such attacks. They call it catalepsy." Imperceptibly the crowd dwindled; the most discreet among them quite content to leave the house; a few, and these the most thoughtful, devoted all their energies to a serious quest for the woman and child whom they continued to. believe to be in hiding somewhere inside the walls she had so audaciously entered. The small party decided to start their search by a hasty inspection of the front hall, when a shout and scramble in the passages beyond cut short their intent and held them panting and eager, each to bis place. Frightened, they drew their gasa from tho rigid figure in the chair, and, with bated breaths and rapidly paling cheeks, listened to the distant murmur on the far-off road. What was it? They could not guess, and It was with unbounded relief they pressed forward to greet the shadowy form of a youag girt hurrying toward them from the rear, with news In her face. She spoke quickly. "The woman Is gone. , Harry Donne saw her sliding out behind us just after we came in. She was 'hiding in some of the corners here and slipped out by the kitchen way when we were not looking. He has gone to see—" Breathlessly Miss Weeks cut the girl's story abort; breathlessly she rushed to the nearest window, and, helped by willing hands, succeeded in forcing It up and tearing a hole In the vines, through which they one and all looked out in eager excitement A motley throng of people were crowding in through the double gateway. Some one was in their grasp. It was Bela! Bela, the giant! Bela, the terror of the town, no longer a terror but a struggling, half-fainting figure, fighting to free himself and get In advance, despite some awful hurt whleh blanched his coal-black features and made his great limbs falter, while still keeping his own aad making his way, by shear force of will, up the path aad the two stops of entrance— his body alternately staking back of ptongiag forward aa those ia taw rear MANITOBA'S AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT PROVINCE DURING THE PA8T FEW YEARS. The past year has shown that the Province of Manitoba, the Premier Province of Western Canada, stands out prominently in point of wealth in her agricultural productions. Manitoba had an excellent yield of wheat in 1914. the oat crop was not so good, and with the high price received, every far aer was placed in a good financial position. For some years, as is probably the case in all. new countries, Manitoba went largely Into the growing of grain, and while this paid well for a time, it was found that having to purchase his meat, his milk and a number of other daily requisites, the farm did not pay as it should. Now, there is another side to it. Fodder crops are grown, cattle are being raised, cheese factories and creameries are established, and the result is that the financial position of the farmers of Manitoba is as strong as that of those in any other portion of the continent. Scarcely a farmer today but has realized that the growing of grains alone has a precarious side, and that positive security can only be assured by diversified farming, and securing the latest modern and most economic methods. Therefore timothy, clover, alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are universally grown. Most wonderful success meets the efforts of the farmers in the cultivation of these grasses, and the yields compare favorably with thoee of many older countries, while in many cases they exceed them. It is worth while recording the acreage of these crops this season as compared with last, because the figures reflect the remarkable progress that Is befng made in dairying and in the beef and pork industry. In 1913 brome grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on 118,712 acres, clover on 5,328 acres, alfalfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on 20,223 acres. In 1914 the respective acreage under those crops were 25,444 acres, 27,100 acres, 165,990 acres, 7,212 acres, and 10,250 acres and 30,430 acres. Alfalfa particularly is coming into its own, the acreage having been more than doubled last year. It Is simply the natural process of evolution from the purely grain farm* ing which Manitoba knew as the only method twenty years ago to the more diversified forms of agriculture that is responsible for the development along these other lines in this Province. Alberta is coming to it at an earlier stage than did Manitoba. Saskatchewan, too, is following rapidly in the same direction. Then, as her fodder crop and root crop acreage Indicate, there have been increases in the holdings of all kinds of live stock during the past twelve months, according to the correspondent for the Toronto Globe. Beef cattle number 42,000 head this year, as against 37,000 last year; milch cows are 160,474 head, as against 157,963 head; pigs number 325,000 as against 248,000; sheep number 75,000, as against 52,000; and there are 325,000 horses, as compared with 300,000 at this time last year. These are the latest Provincial figures, and they show that despite the great efflux of live stock to the United States since the opening of that market to Canada, the capital amount of live aal* magf has Increased Instead of having decreased through the extra demand. Dairying the Prinelpsl Industry. Dairying Is the Industry, however, which is making dollars for the Manitoba farmer. It Is developing at a rapid rate in this Province for that particular reason. The output pf creamery butter last year was 4,000,000 pounds, st an average price of 27.6 cents per pound, which waa an lacrease over the previous year of a million pounds. The output of dairy butter was recorded last year at 4,288,- 276 pounds. The Government department says that again this year a substantial increase m the dairy output will he shown from this Province, From this same source of information one finds that through the splendid growth in winter dairying; Winnipeg now, for the first time tat years, Is abt* to obtain a sufficient supply of milk and sweet cream from its city dairies to satisfy its demand throughout the year without having to Import large oaantities of those products from the United States aa was done not longer than two years ago—Advertisement Improved Clraaaaitaness.
