If your house needs painting, paint it now—this fall—with THE S HER WINW/ LUAMS PAtNT. Here are some of the reasons why you should da so.

You ^.11 avoid the annoyance of gtrtts, flies, and other insects sticking to the surface. There it likely to be less moisture in it now than any other time; moisture is what often causes blistering, cracking, and like troubles. 5. S. W.

Peary's Peril, Henry Johnson, able seaman of Peary's vessel, the Roosevelt, has arrived In New York from Greeland, bringing the first, oral news of the arctic expedition. While gefting ice water from a glacier in Etah, Johnson was stricken with a' chfll in his knee and sank on the ice unable to walk. He grew worse rapidly and to his bitter disappointment, he says, was obliged to start south to save his leg from amputation,.. A condensed diary of the expedition was kept by Johnson. The diary states that a hurricane encountered July 29, just off the coast of Greenland, opened the seams of the Rooserelt at the bow tq-stsch an extent that several of the crew felt her to he practically unseaworthy for a rough voyage among crunching Icebergs.

He . realized that -(here had; been a mighty upheaval of tfee ocean. That thunderous sound was undoubtedly the impact of a tidal wave, upon a distant shore, that strange; clammy smell, the tang of which was still In his nostrils, was no doubt caused by the depths of ocean being hurled to the surface by thia marine cataclysm, It was very dark, the clouds obscured the sky and a light wind came from the northeast. H e n r y had now • (Cbpyrigut. by BJhorutonr *»u». Co.) The following story is true in all Its details, real names alone being •omitted for obvious reasons. Henry Bradford left his Old Colon) h<nne on a brignt sommei day to seek b | f fortune 1« New Y0&. He bad the best wishes of everybody, for he was a decent boy, and all who knew him liked his manly ways. »But he found the metropolis a tough proposition. T h e fierce, pushing, fight* fdMlfe workseekers Jostled and crowded tatt beifona!aU; his forevioue' ^ c e c t J k ^ , . > # ; • j r f f o * , hftvlog M faculty of retailstlflg ip kind, found himself pushed to tha *»lW . He got employment, it Is true, but he could not bold it for any length of Hue, owing largely to his lack of knowledge of urttan conditions, and also to much bad luck. So, after four years' struggle. He gave !t u0 and acknowledged himself beaten. The struggle had W a ' tfeontfnuooa and altogether oue-sjded. an<| as h* tat upon the stringplece of an Kast river pier, it was barne in upon him that he bad made a* good a fight afr he knew how. And l o s t ! -t And now. when Failure had completely . enveloped him In her somber c l p a k / b e fatt jhere was aotfilbg 'elsvfc to do but to return to the old town. There, at least, he could live, and he among those who knew him and would sympathise with him. Of the two dollars which he possessed; one dollar would pay his fare to Providence, and It would be a small matter for him to walk the intervening miles to his old home. . . . This plan he carried into effect, and the evening of an early October day found him in Plymouth, which adjoined Ti'is home town. He was. tired, footsore and discouraged. Plymouth always held a fascination for him. aiid lie belook hlm3elf to the Hurial hill and there, on a lonely bench, he looked down upon the lights of. Market square, to the riding-lights of a few craft lying at anchor In the harbor, and,( further, ..tQ that great light onthe1 Gurnet whose effuteen't' ray* guided and warned l o W anil coastwise mariners. Long. h e ' i s a t and' luooued. One by ope the lights were extinguished, and »8 the town went to bleep he felt the necessity of doing likewise;' He stumbled down the nar row i>ath to Market square, across the main Rtreet. and, as though drawn by *ome magnet, to the water's edgf\ There the gray canopy with it.s Iron natc, which shields Plymouth Rock from the vandal and the relic hunter, reared its head. Everything was familiar to Henry, yet his eye dwelt longingly on each object. Here was a short strip of pebbly beach, and drawn hiKh up on it was a fisherman's dory. The boat contained a pair of oars, a sprit-sail and mast, a coiled seine, and, in the stern, a small breaker of fresh water. Without hesitation he stepped aboard, and, adjusting the thwarts.and oars and arranging the sail so that it would act: a s a cover for him, he lay down and in two minutes was sound asleep, Henry Bradford was a sound sleep er, a very sound sleeper, else this siroy might never have been written. He knew naught of the stealthy rise of the tide nor of the lift of the dory as she became water borne, nor did he know that in his earlier arrangements he had loosened the noosed painter from the bowlder over 'which it had been slipped!, He did not feel. the impact of the. gentle southwest wind which nafted £he dory slowly but surer ly^tp *he. potnjt o f / $ e beaeh. * The "outgoing .tide in Plymouth harbor'!* much like a mill-race as it burri. «ftt>itet t h * greater waters of Barnarable bay. ( „.; .- • . . . ,, Heary Bradford slept the sl#ep of utter .weariness. /The dory is, perbaps; "the beet sea boat ever designed, and will stand- more -wind and weather and sloppjuseas than,any*other small craft If h«; was .somewhat jostled atd/sb^axen, ft only served; to accenU:- Ate* a deeper sleep. But there are softie bappenlnga of nature which .no man, sleepia* or waking, may allow to puss^qjabotlced. As he slept, a" giant haadieeeaMd to* .reach* from infinity And, graSptng his frail boat, carry it a s p i r i n an, up, up HIi all the world b«$nirie daik, aq4. then,, without warning, dropped him into an abyss soMepp ond rtwfu)vthn,t ii.seipmed as.,though a cleft in .polld earth had been opened to'cnsulf him forever. Henry Hradford awoken with chattortns tooth and atarins eyt\s, to find his boit twing lifted ags-fn- by the mighty hand of his drcarn.' ITi*. rudely aroused senses apprised him of the situation,. He katw himself tr> be I n j i ' s bend, with a mcurh 1 the dory, and he aiso realised that thr< i shot hull lot:, is rrowr.rd A Hurried Examination of the Papers. got hiBiheurings. biis dory had s!iiuj»od but little water during the awful tumult. He was in the a< i of stepping 1he mant, when a now sound broke i!jjt)u his eai1. It was ih^ slatting of a vessel's sails, and in his immediate proximity. His strained eyes discerned a blotch upon the blackness of the night, slightly an his port bow and liacoming momentarily plainer to his visicu. A moment later he was able to make out a .schooner, with all sail set, riding deeply in the water and nearly hove-to. Henry dropped the ma3t and shipped the oars, a few strokes of which brought him on her weather quarter, whence he lustily hailed: 'Schooner, ahoy!" which, being repeated and varied with "Aboard the schooner," bringing him no reply, he again seized his oars and brought the dory alongside. He leaped lightly on board, painter in hand. He trailed his boat astern and secured the painter firmly. The schooner was on the starboard tack with all sail set, including fore and main gaff topsails, foretopmast staysail, jib and flying jib. About 20 feet of her midship bulwark was torn away and hsr decks were wet and -ailppe^J* from' recent mtrodatToiitt; A' hasty tnspeeitott of the cabin berths and Its single stateroom disclosed no sign of life. An Inspection of the deck forecastle produced similar results, and Henry Hradfprd realixed tkat he was the only living being aboard that ill fated schooner. '. His mind was now intensely alert and he was on famHl.ir ground. As fast as halyards ecmld be.-aandled, he clewed up both ^aff 'topsail^,' and hauled down and fnrled the flying jib, Jift amf. foretoprriast staysail. \ Then, ftftf'r^ stoppering both, gaff topsails, he returned to the deck and in a few minutes had t i e schooner upon toe proper course for .Boston light. Daylight bad come aad t t t wind had freshened slightly. A hurried exanimation of the papers In t o * 'captain's staterdoW disclosed the Vessel'^ manifest, which gave the information that the schooner Clara iigtes, 460 tons register, owned by Bates ft Joyce of Postua. commanded by jUapt. 3*r« Perry, of 8ajem, and a crew,- of five men,, was. carrying 630 tons .of coal consigned to the owners of the vease.1 in Boston. A nwal.l »mn pf monej in the captain's desk and the usual instruments . of navigation, > were the things of most value which caught Bradford's eye during his hurried examination. The demands of the inner man were satisfied with a substantial breakfast, consisting of hmn, fried potatoes and h o t coffee. The'wind held true, and Bradford's mind Had already worked out a plan of operations. He led his Jib downhaul and jib halyards—secured by a slip noose—aft, and,, once la smooth water, he made rowdy hi* shot!t anefcor* secu/ed by a cat stopper only, and overhauled a few fathoms of chain. At four o'clock that afternoon, he brought the Clara listen into- the- wind on £ou(h. Boston Hats, hauled down his jib and, as the vessel lost way, slipped his eal-stopper and anchored i ; ' The re^-t is mere detail: It was in the fall of the great coal strike; and coal was eoel. Henry sent word to Bates A Joyce by the harbor piaster's tag, and an hour later , the corpulent and genial Mr. Joyee was on board and had heard Henry's wonderful story, ,jA£., p,- o'qipek.ihe-inaxi day Henry Bradford signed a release attA accepted a lump sum of $D,09t in lieu of all seiarlees rendered • and salvage expected. There is one more happy detail. The 20 feet of bulwark that was torn away from the side'of the Clara Bates acted a r a life raft for the members of her company, who were swept overboard at the same time,.

Tbe bulk of tbe work iu in overseeing the administration ot tbe estates ot deceased persons, minors and incompetents, and in making the proper public record thereof. It is undoubtedly surprising for many lo realize that the value of property being bandied under tbe supervision ot this court exceeds that involved in tbe circuit. For tb.it* rev son it is evident that the records must be complete, that tbe Judge of Probate must give the details of each estate the closest scrutiny which in turn requires a complete and thorough knowledge ot the probate laws.

Recognizing the, importance of this office to all the people of the county and the fact that it needs a competent official with a judicial mini and a knowledge of tbe law, the very best selection was made. Wm. P. Van Winkle is a lawyer by profession. He has been in active practice in all tbe courts ot this state for more than twenty years. His education and long experience lias fitted him to administer the duties ot this important office. It can well be said that no man in the eounty is better fitted for tbis position, The duties ot this office are very important and becoming more important. All the property in the county passes through tbe hands ot this ccurt every thirty years. The last session ot the legislature euacted a law providing for juvenile courts and vested in tbe several probate courts of tbe state for that purpose the jurisdiction of dependant negleeled and, delinquent cbildren, - The probate court is, under the laws of this state, a court of ,record., The questions constantly arising and to be passed upon.in that court are of the the utmost importance to ail the people. With due respect for tbe men who have hald tbis county, we believe that Mr. Van Winkle will make tbe best probate judge tLe county has ever bad and should be elected. A Good Ndminatiofi> fc The republican party juade no mistake in giving the nomination for drain commissioner to the present incumbent, Frank E. Mowers, who has conducted the office in a business like manner with fairness to all. While the county drain ta^ amount* to considerable each year the commissioner is not to blame for the number of drains as that is done by petition of the tax payers and he cannot commence a drain ot himself without such petition and then IT IS HIS DUTY TO DO SO. Mr. Mowers has done his full duty and where there has been anyone inconsidered as evidence that t h e terested enough to examine closbly into b a n k e r s want to discourage any the matter they find that in nearly N.

There are two ways of doing things officially. One is to ride rou^b-shod over the rights ot people, because an officer has power, The other way is to carefully study the ueed for action and justice to individuals, and while doing one's full official duty, at the same time be courteous and fair to everyone. Frank E. Mowers of Putnam has shown himself a courteous, but at the same time a painstaking and obliging official. His official acts have been so carefully and thoroughly done that every one has stood. So reasonable has he made every project he has undertaken that there have been very t3w contests and in tbis way alone a good many dollars have been saved to tbe county by saving expensive litigation. The people who havn met Mr. Mowers officially during his first term as drain commissioner are the warmest support he has for re-election.— Tidings ATTENTION!

"I've got just the thing you want," said Dobson, taking out a beautifully d r a w n map. "There's 800 acres of It, which we can soil you at $100 an acre. This will leave you a couple of thousand for improvements besides your farm. There's only one trouble about my selliug It to you. My partner Is dead set upon our taking It ourselves. I would be in favor of it, too, but we've got so much now we can't pay the taxes." The young farmer studied t h e map deliberately and after he had finished said he would go and look at the property. Dobson touched a bell. An office boy entered and was directed to call Mr. Cram. The junior partner came In and was informed by Mr. Dobson that he had offered the fanner t h e Gardner tract a t $100 an acre, whereupon a violent quarrel ensued, at the end of which Mr. Cram left t h e room In a huff, threatening to enjoin his partner from making the sale. Dobson was so angry that he vowed the trade should be made before Cram had a chance to interfere. The young man took the hook and paid two ten-dollar bills to bind the bargain. Before he left the office he had drawn a check on his bank for $8,000 and had a deed for 800 acres of swamp and hill land, the latter covered with a second growth of worthless timber. "Goodly, Mr. Dobson," he said at parting. "I shan't forget your effort in my behalf, and I hope it won't get you into trouble with Mr. Cram." H e had no sooner gone than the two partners were congratulating each other on the sale. "Shake, old man," said Dobson. "You played your part beautifully." "But you landed him. He's as innocent as a kitten." T w o years passed during which neither Dobson nor Cram heard anything of the Gardner tract or its purchaser, when one day Cram said to Dobson: "The young man we scooped with that swnmp and timber land in Boonton county is in the other room and wants to see you. Look out for him. Some one may have put him up to getting even. The law can't touch us, but he may have some game to play." "Trust me for games." Dobson went in where the young man was waiting, with outstretched hand and eyes beaming with kindli- ' ness. i "Mr. Dobson." said the youngster, j "that property has turned out better than was expected. There's coal on i t " "Good!'' exclaimed Dobsou, slappfhg the boy on the nack. Inwardly he said, "Why didn't you say gold or diamonds?" "Yes; they say It's the finest anthracite In the state." "Splendid:" Another slap on t h e back. "I'm indebted for my good luck to you. Do you remember how you sold me the property before your partner could interfere?" "Yes; I remember t h a t " "Well, one good turn deserves another. T've got an offer of $230,000 for the property from a coal company. I feel that I shouldn't keep all this good lurk to myself, seeing that you were so kind to me. I'll divide. I'll sell to you for half. $12\000, and turn you over the coal company's written offer, good for thirty days." "My dear fellow." said Dobson. striving to maintain a countenance that would not betray his seeing through the stupendous game, "you arc the very soul of honor. I'll speak to Cram about i t " Going to Cram's office, he shut the door and as soon as he could control his lanehter told him how the yoang farmer was trying to pay them In their own coin. After a pretended consultation he returned to the boy and said: "That partner of mine will be my ruin.

Take in tablespoonful doBes before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be>mid from any good druggist.

Prevent lyory toilet articles are quite as fashionable a» silver ones now, and the fact that they are more difficult to.clean in no way detracts from their popularity. It 1B not easy to remove stalna from the mellow, creamy material iwMhont spoiling its tone. So** useful hints on cleaning ivory, are given herewith: When the stains are very sligHt and id*? lfot' seem"-io be permanent, though they cannot be rubbed off with a dry cloth, wash the ivory ^thoroughly in warm water and Koa'p ^udV fend then, without dfying it on a cloth, place it in the bright Mjnlig1»t for a few minutGB. This ex->|and then exhale forcibly. This excels i t posure* will usually remove the stains. After ttley have disa^i^eared wash the ivory again' In soap and water, rinse it thoroughly'hnrt dry carefully with a soft: cloth. Where the stains do not disappear entirely after contact with the sun's rays the ivory should be washed again in aoap ajul water, then rinsed in clear water to which a little lemon juice has been added. Care niuftt be taken to have the {temperature of the water right, aw too great heat will injure the ivory. Very dark discoloration^ require the services" of an expert to remove, though one may be fairly successful by rubbing oxalic acid solution, not too strong, and applying this to the dark spots or streaks with a' brush.

FOR CLEAR, VELVETY SKIN. Plenty of Fresh Air and a Good Massage Cream Are Essential. (jood teeth, sparkling eyes and beautiful hair are all essential to personal attractiveness, but probably the greatest charin of woman is a clear, fresh, velvety skin. Queens have paid fortunes to attain Ihls one charm alone! But cosmetics and artificial beautiflera won't accomplish what aiding nature will. A muddy or otherwise unfortunate complexion is best overcome by the following plan. Give up greasy foods and heavy pastries. Take daily exercise out of doors, or when driving fill the luugs with good blood-purifying air. Breathe deep, bold the breath An out on my tbe stagnant air In recesses of the lungs. It is this stagnant air that literally poisons the system, making' bad blood which in time shows on the face. House dust in the connfry is'almost as bad lor the complexion as Is the dust of a big city. Notice a sunbeam coming through the window into a room. You will see thousands of small dust particles floating in the air. These get into the pores and work havoc unless one's eliminating system is unusual. A cleansing or massage cream works down into the pores and brings out these dust particles which soap and water cannot reach. Moreover, the massaging of the face is In itself beneficial, as it starts the red blood doursing to the cheeks. Care must be used to select a reliable massage cream. A good massage cream plus plenty of. fresh air and proper diet will work wonders in preserving and beautifying one's complexionwoman's dearest charm. eruptions broke • j} daughter's elfcsjP'/14 took het, to a, doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a* vew.bad form.

Guy KtlUer. KCCretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma vfteberts. chief aide of Inventor Roberta? are Introduced as lovers. The Kovemment is much crlticincd because uf its lack of preparation for strife. C H A P T E R I—-Continued. "Listen," he commanded, again leaning toward her. "There is something which makes me think you lov;e me. I shall ask noihing more of \'our father, or of your plans, because I want to make you see the position.'' He frowned at the waiter, who came toward them and then retreated. "Xorni," he went on, "there is to be war. Your country is unprepared. It "will be overrun by an enemy that iar ruthless a n d ' t h a t will come to con'-, •quer. The end may not be defeat, but as certain aw death this country will, writhe and suffer before it can, regain the* ground it will lose in the outset. Can't you see that? Can't you understand what it. will bo tor you and your father here under such conditions? Don't you know that iov your very safety you must leave? AH my wife, or even my betrothed, I can make the way so much easier for you! t^ive me the right, dear, .give Hie the right!" "It Is impossible," site replied, turning'toward him again; and he looked hurt. "It is the very danger of war that makes it so, You don't know how much I wish I could say yea to' you; but It's impossible. I must lie with my father. 1 owe it to him. He can't go away, nor can I leave him, So until the way is clear we can be friends only, and no more.'' lie sat stunned for a moment, vainly striving to understand a eircum stance or combination of conditions which could have dictated such an answer. Then the thoughl came that perhaps the girl before him waa.making a sacrifice to some awful menace, and it. could be only one thing— the threatened insanity of her father. Hut what had the war to do with that? Perhaps she would never be more to him if her father went insane, because then she would say no because of her very love fdr him, and the fear for posterity. Their happiness, then, was to depend upon the condition of an old man's mind. "Norm,'' he asked, softly, "is it insanity?" She turned toward him in amazement, not fathoming his line of reasoning. "I can tell you nothing more." She spoke as one under stress and suppression. "You must ask nothing more. You must take my love on faith or not a t all until you know it is time for you to tell me again that 1 am necessary to you." .. He felt that it was a crisis with them, and slowly thought of what he might say to break away this barrier or induce her to remove the embargo. They sat looking into the distance; but, hefore he could formulate an argument the sound of a horse's hoofs madly clattering over the pavements naught, their attention. It came nearer and nearer, and then past them on the street, below a man in soldier's uniform flashed by. They looked at each other wonderingly, half starting to their feet, and as they looked a sudden pandemonium broke forth. From an alleyway nearby burst an army of newsboys, the streets Htufdenly brcame alive with pedestrians belched forth from cafes and hotels, and above all other sounds came ihe cries of ""Extry! Kxtry! War broken out! War! War! W a r ' " She turned away from him as if in thrive cries were an irrevocable sentence of misery, parte.I the vines and stood silently looking out into the night; and he knew without soring that in her eyes wore tear-.;.

Strangely enough the first reports uf .war came frpru foreign sources; but tfiif Vexiiuuctjbq|ifedfy official, having been imparted by Japan to her ally, (Jmat Hritain. The bulletins issued by-} thu I^yndpn. paujars byre ,.1 lie undoubted l'ing ot semi-official utterancop. That, of r^he JDaij^Mail, cabled in furl to the American press, read: "Japan, reluctantly abandoning hope of peace by ordinary method*, has been driven ,to the extreniu recourse and had officially declared war against the United States of America.-" Within halt a a hour after the Issuance of this bulletin a second announcement was raadei which look no cognizance of the fact that the official declaration must have been preceded by decisive action: "The Japanese war office has been advised that on the 27th instant at noon the Philippine island* were compelled to surrender to the Japanese fleet, which appeared oft Manila. Not only did the city itself capitulate, but possession of the entire Islands has been given over. The Japanese government announces with due modesty that it has gained a complete and unqualified victory without the loss of a man. "Later.—rt is announced by the Japanese government that the parole of ail officers and men of the United States army in the Philippines has been accepted, and the men of the vanquished army have been allowed lo sail for San Francisco on bojtrd foreign ships, which were lying iu the harbor at the time of surrender." From every quarter of the land came insistent demands for official news from the government, coupled with requests for detailed accounts of the defeat. The administration replied with Ihe brief statement that no verified report ol the action in the Philippines could be given out at that time, it did slate, however, that, the . official declaration of war had been duly received, that the Japanese ambassador had been withdrawn, the legation closed and that the officials would lea\e New York for their own country that evening, sailing by way of Liverpool. Public clamor gave way to popular indignation. The country was aflame with wai spirit. Guardsmen gathered in their armories, awaiting official bulletins and the expected call to arms; ami yet no orders came. Tiie governors of several states telegraphed to the war department for advice; but their only satisfaction was in the following message sent broadcast by the secretary of state: "The government, recognizing the patriotism and readiness of the National Guard of the United States, does not at this immediate moment desire its services. It is well to bear iu mind, however, that a sudden call may be issued at a later date and to be prepared for emergencies. It wishes to announce further that in its judgment there will be no necessity for fighting on land, and that the situation is completely under control. So far there have been no casualties reported from the Philippines." Whatever may have been the slate of the public mind before the issuance of this declaration, the country now gasped with amazement. Some of the more violent and outspoken journals demanded of the men at Washington a statement of what they purposed to do in this emergency,'and the most radical intimated in no uncertain terms that incompetent, administrations were subject to impeachment. Put. to all of this outburst the government officials most directly interested presented only the same calm, placid and indifferent front. There was nothing to be detected in their demeanor to indicate that any action whatever had been taken. The various members of the diplomatic corps, even to the highest of the foreign ambassadors, gathered no new information. They were invariably told, first, that the United States knew there had been a declaration of war; second, that, the United States knew that the Philippines had be€n surrendered; third, that no orders had been issued up to that hour for the sailing of any fleet, but. that it waa expected orders would be given before the day was over. The men of the foreign representation one and all felt a gentle rebuff tantamount to being told that the United States was attending strict 1 \ to its own lut^ine^ aa-.l desired neither to be advised nor to he compelled in answer questions. None felt this more keenly than the members of the 1'ritish legation, and Cay Hillier In particular. His meeting of the night b -fore with Miss Roberts had not terminated satisfactorily, but had come to an abrupt close when he hade her good night at the door of her home, and with all his questions unnnswerel.

"tiny," the ambassador said, ".we are iu a country of lunatics. There* is something in this government's atti' tude that is inexplicable. It can't be tiial they are all cowards, and yet I have something to show you." The ambassador drew a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the perspiration 'from his forehead, after which he reaejied a large pudgy ringer over to t t e secretary's desk, pi-easing there oh a pearl topped, electric butiou. "Walters," h e . said to, Uay uflbar WIMJ cauie Into the I-MO)U in answer to the snmiuons, "neither Mr. Hillier nor myself is here, and we won't be back for an hour; that is what you ar« to say without exception/' Then as the attendant bowed himself out he beckoned the secretary to follow him into the secluelon of" his private office. "Hillier," he began, throwing; a paper on the desk before the secre tary, who had seated hiiuseir on the opposite side, "read that." The secretary saw before hiui a code telegram neatly interpreted between the lines. It was evidently an official order addressed to a fleet commander a t Callao, Peru. "What do you make of that," lie asked in a tone of great disgust, and then, as Hillier started to question hiui, put up his hand for silence. No, it doesn't matter where I got it, or how I had it decoded; it is genuine, aH right." The secretary siared at him with a look of blank interrogation on his face, while the ambassador rose from the seat into which he had thrown The Ambassador Rose from His Seat. himself only a moment before, leaned over his desk, resting himself on the knuckles of his clenched bauds, ant] said: "That is an order from the secrelary of the navy positively commanding all the vessels owned by the United States in Pacific waters to return without delay to Haltimore. It's a shame, that's what it is! The other nations of the world should intervene and prevent this country from committing suicide. Conditions are so extraordinary that I don't dare intrust anyone but you to make a. report of the situation, and you have got to do that in person," He walked up and down the room excitedly for a few moments, freely expressing his perplexity over the turn of events, and ended by abruptly ringing for a timetable and a sailing list, which he consulted before again addressing himself to his secretary. "Get out of here as quickly as you can!" he ordered. "Go to your rooms, throw what stuff you need into a, bag. and take the first train you can get for New York! I shall meet you at the station here and give you strch reports of conditions as I can write in the meantime. When you get to New York, go as quickly as you can to the Canard dock, from which the Lucania is due to sail early in the morning. I shall hold her up until you arrive. Deliver my letters in person to the foreign secretary's office in London, and answer such questions as you can regarding this remarkable situation and this incomprehensible government. These matters are too important to admit of delay and ordinary official reports. Go quickly!" he concluded, almost shoving Tlillier through the door. "I'll attend to everything hero. Don't let there lie any delay on your part!" The secretary hurried away to make preparations for his departure. leaving the perturbed ambassador to prepare his reports. lie called a rah and drove to his apartment, intent on first telephoning to Miss Roberts. His man met him at the door and handed him a letter addressed in a familiar hand, which he hastily tore open and rexd as he sto^d In the open doorway: "Dear Guy: I h a r e been called • i m a y very wMklttaly*. mid aoi goiag to my father.

Cood-by. NORMA." Stunned by this unexpected misaive, he hurried to ihe itilephoue, and in a l'ev«r of hasie and anxiety called up her .pjomc, only to be, to4d that sh« had departed in the earlier hours of the morning after receiving' a message presumably. , from her father. He could.learn nothing further of her. He way stopped as IT by an insurmountable wall. He carded the fate which separated them and the order which stmt him away without giving time to see her, and almost in OJM'B rebellion thought tor a moment of refusing to act as king's courier, resolving rathar to resign frgui his positiou and abandon his post; but he was bound by the training or years and the demands of duty, aud at the last moment boarded the train which was to take him from the country and the woman he loved. And even as he went the object of his solicitude was speeding away into the south on a special train. The train consisted of only two Pullmans and a diniug car. Hefore it in its southern flight the way seem«4 always open, and hour after hour it rushed onwai.d, drawn by the most powerful locomotives that could be obtained. Norma was the only womr»n passenger aboard; all the others were grim-facpd, sun-tanned men of the sea, who had been summoned to Washington from various navy yards and shjps wi.tiiia the month. Of all on board, she was .the only civilian, and yet. ihe one • whjum vjip- government seemed most anxious to transport. The officers themselves gathered into little group*, discussing the war which had opened so abruptly, and speculating as to why in such an important crisis they had been ordered from their posts of duty to report for further advices and sealed instructions at so unimportant and isolated a seaport as the small one on the coast of Florida lo which they were headiug. Another singular feature of 'hie journey was that all aboard, from the distinguished admiral to the ju«.ior lieutenant commander, were, by or der, in the plainest of civilian dress. That It had been the intention of the war department to maintain their identity secret was proved by the mmments of a railway official who stood near one of the coaches while waiting for a chauge of locomotives. "You understand, don't you," he said to a man apparently a train (lis patcher, standing beside him, "that this train has the right of way over everything? Sidetrack the flyer if necessary to get. this through^ There can't he anything in front of her, and the only limit to her time is the speed of the engine that pulls her. 1 understand it's a party of secret service people ihe government is sending tc Cuba. That's all I know ahout it, and it's in line with everything else you naturally can e\]>ect from such a lot of insane men as th°y seem to have in Washington." They whirled away from the sta* tion, looking at each other blankly, and wondering what the outcome of all this mystery could he. Every action so far was without precedent. There was a disposition on the part of some of them to bemoan the fate which had detached them from th«jir ships at a time when the country was lo be defended and glory won: but this was brought to a sudden end by grim old "Fighting Pol)" Revins, the admiral, " who reprimanded them for daring to criticise their superiors oi their orders.

I t is in srssioD constantly and important questions are continually arising relative to both property and pergonal ritfbtu. Ky recent legislation it has a h o been made a juvenile court, thus eYleuding it» jurisdiction, which ruake» it imperatiye that tbe J u d g e must be versed in the laws appertaining to tbe duties of tb« court, and be ot a judicial t u r n of mind, thus being ::ompetant to deal justly with such cases in every particular. William P. VanWinkle, the Uemo (jiatic nominee tor this office, has all these needed qualiftcations. His past public servicer for Livingston county h\s established these facts, he is honest and trustworthy and has proven that he is an able lawyer by experience tully qualified to p-eside with dignity and ability over any court and render just decisions, too. Mr. VanWinkle is a man of good moral character and sterling qualities. During bis professional career he has performed many public duties, with credit and honor to himself and to the pe;»ple he has serysd. He ia well known in this county and where he is known the best his integrity and ability is admitted beyond question. No better qualified man tor this important office could be fiound in Livingston county. It is being circulated by some that being a lawyer of a lucrative practice, he would leave the work of the office to a deputy or clerk. This is a wrong story evidently told for political effect on the eve of election. It electsd, Mr. VanWinkle will give the duties of his office his first and best attention.

Electus Hadden the Republican candidate for the important office ot Sheriff of Livingston county is an ideal candidate tor that office. The county has no better citizen, he is a quiet unasuuiing man, whose word is as good as a bond. He was appointed under- j sheriff by Sheriff Rdwin Pratt and has i filled the position with honors to him- j self and has rendered faithful and efficient service to the people of Liv- i ingston county. His services ot the past tour years has shown him to be a ; man so ably fitted to till this po-ition j that the adherents of Ins party have honored him with the nomination by a j a r g e vote. Mr. Electus Hadden has been an almost lifelong resident NOTICE Having rented my farm will dispose of my personal property at public sale on October 29th, commencing at 9 a. m.

Thos. Read TH E Mil waukee Cattle Stanchion is the only Stanchion on the market that allows the animal an easy and natural position at all times. I t is securely locked and only the attendant can open it to release the animal. This is easily done by simply lifting the steel loop that connects the pivoted bar. The illustration on the right shows the Stanchion in place, locked. The one on the left shows the Stanchion open, standing and held firmly in position by steel guide straps, and it is impossible for the animal t o turn it, and no trouble is experienced by animal putting its head in the-stanchion. The stanchion is made of the best quality of hard wood, nicely finished; is made 4 ft. high, with 6l/2 inch space between the upright bars and can be adjusted very easily by taking out a bolt and make the space Sl/2 inches, so that it can be used for young stock or you can adjust the space wider for lx/2 inches or 8 inches which would be suitable for almost any size cattle. The stanchions are shipped set for 6 ^ inches between bars. Both top and bottom are made of malleble iron and is the strongest and lightest stanchion on the market. ARMSTRONG & BARRON HOWELL MICHIGAN ADDITIONAL LOCAL. T h e United States is no small place.

S. T w o Morraaa preachers were preaching on our streets recently. Their do^trinn is never made clear until yon have been a convert for sorre time. The Morman religion teaches (so Bishop Fowler says) that God was only a man, that Adam was God and the natural father of Jesus Christ; that God is a polygamist and that, .1 esus Christ was a polygamist.

It is being urged by soma who are interested in electing some one else that Mr. Hadden being under sheriff; should, in some way count against his j election. The duties of under sheriff j are so few thit it. would not pay Mr. Hadden to bother with it only that he ] is conveniently located. It simply j gives him an acquaintance with the duties of the office and makes him a better candidate, I His record as Under Sheriff has revealed the fact though a quiet man ot few words he is a stand patter in j the performance of the duties intrnat- j ed to him. His own nearly four years service has fitted him well to properly perform the duties of the office, as he understands those duties well. If elected, as we believe he will be. Livingston county will have the service of a man who well know the duties of his office, and a will force to perform them without fear or favor. Where duty calls he will be found doing duty. There is no bulldosing in hia makeup, but whenever it, falls upou him to perforrae the duties of his office, if elected, he will perform them to the letter ot the law. This is certainly the metal the people need in the official position of sheriff. flia daily record daring the period of years he has lived in this county, marks him to be one of its best citiaens, law abiding, honest in hia dealings with his fellow men has established for him a reputation for integrity and a right purpose in all the walks of life. Where it has called npon him to perform its demands he has never yet been found wanting. prone*.

In the numerous articles appearing from time to time, on the progress of the home cure of tuberculosis nearly all the emphasis la made upon the purely scientific side—upon the wonders of modern medicine, of modern experiments and modern achievements. And that the scientific strides in the treatment of tuberculosis are little, short of marvelous, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, ia not to be denied. It is greatly to the credit of the medical profession that it has demonstrated in the abstract the curability of the disease, and then in the concrete has wrought the cure at the patient's own home. But there is the sentimental, the mental, the "heart" side of the revolution which, while spoken of little, is not its least important aspect. Under the home treatment it Is no longer necessary to make exiles of loved ones—to banish the tuberculosis patients to th(T distant lands of the west, there to whllo away their hours in isolation, homesickness, introspection and dread.

The English govetnQient's scheme for immediate dealing with t h e question of the unemployed, which la daily growing more urgent, while apparently pleasing to a great portion of the Liberal party, is condemned by the laborites as Inadequate. Premier Asqulth frankly acknowledges that it is only a temporary anodyne, promising that the government will later go into the root of the causes of unemployment.

Guy Hlllier. secretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberta, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are Introduced as loverw. The government in much criticitied because <«f ita lack of preparation for strife. At the moat Inopportune moment Japan «1 eel a res- war. Japan taken the PhlltppiiieH without IOBM of a man. The entire country in tn a atate of turmoil be~ cause' of the 'government's indifference. Guy Hlllier starts for England with secret meea^Re and is compelled, to leave Norma Roberts, who with military officers, al»o leaveb Washington on mysterious expedition for an isolatedjiojnt ^an the Florida coast. " CHAPTER II.—continued. "I don't know what it's all about, boys," he said, relenting. "I wish I did; but I have no more knowledge of it than you have. I don't even know why Miss Roberts Is aboard; but this much I am certain of: That the men in Washington know what they are doing, aud all the rest of the world can just keep on criticising and guessing. As far as we are concerned, we are officers who have sworn to and will obey orders, even if they tell us to go to the outer edge of the flat earth." Darkness came on them before their next,stop was made, and they slowed down as they passed through the yards of a large city, felt their puffing locomotive being uncoupled, and heard the slow resonant snorts of a fresh one being driven into place. They were tired of the day's traveling, and sat In listless silence, looking through the open windows at the half deserted platforms. Newsboys were tunning here and there offering the latest editions, and they called them to the side of the coach and bought newspapers from them. The silence in the car was broken by the admiral, who had been the first purchaser. 'Well, 1*11 be blanked!" he said, angiily crumpling his paper into a ball which ho threw oh 'the floor at his teet. before he began striding up aud down the aisle. What he had road beneath flaring headlines was this: "Washington, May 28.-— The Japanese have taken the Hawaiian islands, together with the gunboats Marietta and Corbett, and are now landing troops from a large transport. The incredible and disgraceful feature of the affair is that not a gun was fired by either side, our officers contenting themselves by running up the white flag when the enemy approached. The cable operator sending the message said that he did so under the surveillance of two Japanese officers, who at the conclusion cf the message would disconnect the cable, thus putting the Islands out of communication." shown beat by a cessation of masameetings and criticisms tending only to embarrass the government in the discharge^LJtM duty, anji Jht; bringing ro a bu,cc,9»aful termination the conflict which* is onw on." > x (JoritrarT tOThe"U8iiar*fortu bt proclamation, lifts pne JWW8 ^signed not only by the prfcaident/Tbutiby all members of htt» ciiblnet, who, therefore, Jointly assumed the responsibility. At first there was an inclination tu deride the message, aud then when more sober thought prevailed a spirit of fairness dictated that the administration should have Its chance. Foreign advices" Indicated that no attack might be expected against the Shores vf the^thiited Slates proper lor even a greater length of time than ten days; hence-, the respite of seven days seemed a reasonable limit within which the government might demonstrate its, theories.. It was possible that the public temper would have remained passive for the full period, but for a somewhat unfortunate and graphic description" ol what had taken place in the Philippines, cabled by the correspondent tof a London paner, who had been on the scene, and which* read as follows: "The surrender of the Philippine islands by the United States to Japan constitutes whai is probably the most remarkable chapter 1n the history of wars. Not only W*B th«re no battle fought nor any attempt made at defense, but what is worse, or would seem so to any man with red blood in. his veins, is the humiliation imposed upon the Americans by their Intimate friendship not only with the civil officials of the islands, but with the .wen of the army and navy Us well, and is therefore In a position- to give trustworthy and detailed information or what at this time seems little less than an infamy. "It had been known for some days that orders of a most remarkable nature had been received by the govern or of the Islands ajid the commanding general. What these were, however, remained a secret until that memorable day of May. "At ten o'clock on the morning of May 27 a cloud of smoke became visibl «* on the horizon, and when within range of the glasses it was discovered that in the offing floated two cruisers of the brat class and one battle ship, Hying; the Japanese flag and cleared for action. The officer iu command of the fort at ouce communicated tbu» fact to the governor, and a cuasultftr tlon was called, to which all trtflclals of both branches of government were summoned. Inasmuch as the gravity of the situation required the absolute, concurrence of all concerned, the consultation was not confined to men of high rank, but included every commissioned officer from the army and every official of standing in the civil government. The men, wondering at this strange call, and aware that something unexpected had happened, responded to the summons and repaired to the governor's office, where they seated themselves silently, and waited for that executive to address them. He, a man grown gray in the diplomatic service of his nation, paced C H A P T E R Ml. When the Flag Came Down. The government was compelled to take action toward pacifying its own subjects immediately after the news of the Hawaiian surrender, public indignation having risen to the point where the people threatened to take matters Into their own hands. Without, a dissenting voice the journals of the country came forth with scathing editorials, occasionally asking the president whether it was the intention of the administration, to run up a white flag as soon as a fast approaching enemy neared the shores, and thus surrender the whole United States. Therefore an appeal for patience was Issued in the following terms: j "The president and his cabinet, acting for and empowered by congress | hi special .session, most urgently ask j the people i)f the United States 'o | withhold judgment on the conduct, of I the war for ;it least a week longer; ' when it will be fully demonstrated ! that the government is following a well-defined policy, which will not only - avert bloodshed, but will impose no \ disgrace upon our country. The ex- I igencien of the situation are such that ' to make public our plans would be to defeat our own ends. We therefore ask the earnest support and co-opera- j tlon cf the people of the United States by such mean3 as lie within their I nowtr. which at this time can b e ' The Flag Under Which He Had Fought So Valiantly. home government. To an impartial observer it would appear that nothing but madness could dictate such a policy. The facts of the case are as follows: 'Although trouble had been expected with Japan by every reasoning inhabitant nf the islands for many months, the government at Washington apparently made no attempt whatever to strengthen Its position, and, on the contrary, seemed rather endeavoring to weaken it. As the whole world knows, there have heen immense and costly fortifications under progress of construction in the islands for the last ten years. More than 30 days ago, by official order, work on these defenses was summarily stopped, the workmen discharged and the engineers ordered home. This was the first act. of treachery toward the Philippines. "Immediately following this incomprehensible action all war vessels in waters surrounding the islands and on the Pacific station were ordered to ports in Kiinpo, whore they render- \ou.--.*\l in what e.-i:i never 1*' anything hut neutral territory. And there they are at this moment, thousands of miles from the scene _of conflict, incapable of either offense or defense. Had the government deliberately chosen to put Itself out of touch with the whole war. It could have selected no more effective method. Your correspondent has bad the honor of an up and down the room as if loath to speak. " Gentlemen,' he began, 'it is not within my province to criticise the acts of the department which 1 represent nor to find fault with its desires, and yet I have before me at this moment the most humiliating instructions which in more than forty years of life in a responsible capacity I have ever received.' "He stood for a few moments, as if dreading to tell his auditors of his country's shame, and then with trem bllng hand opened a drawer of hi - desk and took out a file of official documents, which he held before him as he continued: " 'At the time when work was stopped on the fortifications of this harbor 1 received additional orders to the effect that in ease of :;ny overt art or warlike demonstration upon the part of Japan we were not to make any defense unless if involved »'>,-• saving of our lives, aud To surrender t^e islands in fof.o to our enemy.'

' "The officers, looking at one »U"*her. settled Into their sieata, aud in al most an instant ihe silence iu the room had grown painful. The gov ernor, still holding bis papers btfuiv him, slowly continued: " 'Fearing trickery on the part or a Xjrospective enemy. 1 doubted The an thuntigity of my instructions. 1 used a secret code which haa never gone beyond the hands of the most conH dentlal men in my department, aud to my surprise received absolute confirmation. To you of the army 1 will say that before ttds verification was received, your general,' and here he turned to bis white-haired confrere, "had been the recipient of a command from the secretary of war of the United States couched iu almost the same terms.' "At the conclusion of his speech, this fine old man sank back Into his chair with bowed head as if the dis grace of his country was his own. There was a more or less dignified discussion participated in by the older officers present; but interrupted now and then by some of the younger men, who faYored totally Ignoring the orders and defending the islands to the death. The cooler heads among them prevailed, and at last it was recognized that ther.6 was no alternative aave absolute' and ttnquaMfled autren der. "Before the meeting couW be officially dispersedr the sullen boom of a gun came heavily from the sea, reverberating through the room. The men sprang . to their feet and rushed toward the exit, knowing that war was upon them, but that their hands were tied as hopelessly as though bound with manacles of steel. "There, within range of their own heavier guns, floated a formidable fleet from Japan. Kven while their conference was in progress, cruiser after cruiser and floating forts of steel bad crept up over the horizon. The Japanese gunners were testing their range; but no damage had been done. I saw a procession of crestfallen men, going as if to a funeral, enter their fortress gates and silently gather round the great flagstaff, from'which floated a hitherto unsullied banner. A grim old man g^own gray in war anil scarred with the marks of many battles, walked to the halyards, gave them a pull aud brought fluttering to the ground the flag under which he bad fought so valiantly. A colonel of his staff took from the hands of an orderly a cloth of white, the emblem the world over of defeat with or with out honor, fastened ft into the Idle loops and pulled\if alolt. "The general, a warrior no longer, but a heart-broken old man, turned away from his colleagues, walked across the parade, and the door of his quarters closed ui>on him. Several other members of his staff did like wise, and still others stood silent on the ramparts, watching the outcome of this event. The ships ceased firing, mid, as if perplexed by this unwarranted outcome, seemed to be com mimical ing with each other, dexter ously wigwagging signal after signal. A torpedo boat destroyer slowly sepa rated itself from the flotilla and came suspiciously nosing its way toward the land, winding is and on? as if fearing floating mines or sunken engines of destruction. "As it neared the shore, it was seen that on its black deck stood the admiral of the fleet, together with his staff. They were met at the landing by a deputation of officers, both civil and military, who escorted them to the fort No one can depict the «xpreasions. half surprise and half inquiry, which overspread the countenances of this insignificant invading force. A party of less than ten men without arms was actually accomplishing the most remarkable con quest in all history. • At the entrance to this city of masonry and steel, equipped with silent monsters of warfare, embodyirg all the latest and most formidable instruments of offense and defense, built to withstand the onslaught of the combined navies and armies of the world, stood the sullen, shamefaced officers of the vanquished garrison, the vriif of their full dress uniforms untarnished by powder or smoke, and shining garishly in a midday KU:I There, drawn up in line, were m m win) would have fought to death aiv; .-:o:ie exultantly out into another worlo rather than lure the disgrace which luvl been heaped upon rheni by an nu wo'-rhy eiirpie of superiors in ofllce.

A great scientist has said we can put off "old age" if we can only nourish the body properly. To do this the right kind of food, of course, is necessary. The body manufactures poisons in the stomach and Intestines from certain kinds of food stuffs and unless sufficient of the right kind is used, the injurious elements overcome the good. "My grandmother, 71 years old," writes a N. Y. lady, "had been an invalid for 18 years from what was called consumption of the stomach and bowels. The doctor had given her up to die. "I saw so much about Grape-Nuts that I persuaded Grandmother to try It. She could not. keep anything on her stomach for more than a few minute^. "She began Grape-Nuts with only a teaspoonful. As that did not distress her and as she could retain it, she took a little more until she could take all of 4 teispoonfuls at a meal. "Then she began to gain ami grow sfron;: ;;nd her trouble in the stomach was gone entirety. She got to enjoy ireo:l healih for one so old and w>» know Grape-Nuts saved her life. " The doctor was astonished that instead i f dying she got well, and without a drop of medicine after she began the Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Hattle Creek, Mich.

One of these, known in those day.s an tbe Wixom tavern, located two uiileti west of Farmingtun ib being torn down having been bought fro in tbe Wixoru heirs. Tbe old tavern was a suacioub structure but has Ions; been falling into decay and presented a glooa;y, ghostly appearance. For a tew years past it has been occupied by Horace Wixouj, wbo has lived alone in a couple ot rooms.

The application of crude oil to dirt roads has been experimented with in several slates and it is uuw agreed that it affords one o1 the pest uicttus of producing a solids dusjtles* highway that will uot break- through iu wet weather.

The road was harrowed after the sprinkler and a week later a 12-tou steam roller w .s run over the road several times, making it thoroughly firm. After being closed one week, the road was opened to all kinds of heavy traffic and proved to be firm but not dusty. Fast horses did not tear up the soil with their shoes. This road was not affected by winter freezing, the coating of oil keeping the road dry and preventing heaving by frost. The following June the surface, on becoming dry, carried a light coat of dust which required one-half gallon of oil per square yard to thoroughly settle. The road stood heavy traffic during the entire season and was practically free from dust. Light applica tipns of oil after merely grading up a road with the scraper and later rolling It down,heavily have given excellent results, the most satisfactory features being that these roads were almost entirely'dustless. The oil used on the tests in Kansas cost one and one-half cents per gallon at the refinery or three cents when applied. The cost of grading and oiling the road varied from |500 to $1,300 per mile, according to distance from shipping point, cost of labor, etc. SEEKT E; MEET DISASTER F I V E H A R V A R D 8 T U D E N T 8 N E A R D E A T H I N W E S T I N D I A N H U R R I C A N E .

It merely suggests the agonies of suspense as the Advance approached, tried to help, failed signally, and finally faded from the view of those on the little yacht. •Again, when the Ran came upon the scene it approached as near the Mayflower as it dared, but try as her crew would they could neither launch a boat nor get. a line to the yacht.

Mr. and Mlas Brown stopped at El Paso on the way from Los Angeles to their home here, intending to spend Sunday in the mountains. They engaged a Mexican guide and started out early Sunday for a day of mountain climbing. The guide proved to be a stranger in the mountains. Mr. and Miss Brown wandered about and soon found themselves in a deep canyon, the sides so rugged that they could not climb out. Their quest for an exit continued Sunday night, and all day Monday, and after dark they attained a high point and could discern the lights of Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso. They walked toward the lights of Juarez and near daylight reached a herder's hut, along the trail. "Several months ago, ray little boy began to break out. with itching sores.

A Wp»y cowboy who'had betm sampling Pik«y'B hardware vaulted' to the back of a wolflah-looking eayuae, yelled a few times in hearty Montana faiihibn, and then swung his riata at the chimney. AB the nooue fell fair about the «tach of bricttB he dug slurs' into th* bides of his mount and made a run UJWJ the tape, The chimney came down with a crash; the fire was out; the fate of yBrfck^ville was written. That is wtiy the town does not appear upo^n any map. But if evev you have ridden over the Northern Pacific* »y<ru can probably recall a long arid "narrow valley to the north as you piUied out of the Bad Lands of Dakota^. into the Bad Lands of Montana. That is where Brickville stood. The soil al> about is hard and dry and red, and there is no verdure. Not anywhere In Bight is there a tree. The Bide hillB are Beamed with black strata, and the rains have carried stains from theso and streaked the valley with them on both sides of the muddy little stream which winds away to the Honth. The black strata are seama of bituminous coal, and it was in mining this coal that the KrickvlllianB made their living. There is still pay in these streaks, but the people who worked them have drifted away, and on the nite of the town prairie dogs and coyotes and rattlesnakes hold annual conventions which never adjourn. If any plage ever fully Justified its name, that place was Brickville. At the height of its prosperity it had, ex elusive of sheds and stables, 87 onestory buildings, including tJie,, railroad station,-'the saloon and the topsorial parlor, and every one of them was of brick—even t he sheds. There were optimists who looked forward to a brick- • court-house and a brick jail, and but for the fire in Pikey McGinn's chimney these aspirations might have been realised. Pierre Succotash played perhaps the most prominent part in Hriekville's destruction. Pierre was u French-Canadian, whose rear name had come in to collision with Hriekville's sense of propriety, and some of its letters wore dislocated by the shock. He had been gold mining in British Columbia, and no one had inquired very closely into the reason of his coming from a gold to a coal camp; it would hare established an uncomforlable precedent. But he went nosing about the wreck of that chimney, as he went nosing into everything that, happened in town; and Fred Ritchie, who conducted "the tonsorial parlor," which was across the street from McGinn's, «aw him suddenly dart in and pick up a broken brick. Now Fred and Succotash had said some unpleasant things to each other once upon a time, and Fred, believing that Pierre was courting trouble, promptly ran in tor his gun; but when he came out Succotash was no where tP be seen. Next morning Pikey femnd that somo one had' carried off nearly half of his chimney;bricks, and he promptly declared it-to be the work of Slant eye«rjM(;<?afferty( hiB hated; rival in the harqware buainesg.

But war was on hotter than ever next day, for the remainder of Pikey's loose brinks had disappeared in the night. Pikey ewore that Slant eye was planning a cheap extension to his gin mill, and Mac retorted that he would be a fool indeed tn go around picking up hoodoos that had fallen from his rival's leaky roof,. Then each g«t a shotgun and stood out in front of his saloon waiting for th«» other t<» come along. And the ShurUtory lJub. Co.) ond lime to declanj a truce, and ihou the town breathed easier and drank ofteuer. A week later Succotash was a passwnger on a westbound, express with a ticket io Gleudive in his hat baud. And the next east-bound fiwi^ht brought in a very scarce article— some lumber—and a heavy iron roll er marked with his name. On his return . ho installed the roller \ m the brick shack where he slept and put a big padlock 4>D the door. What be did in that place was the towu mystery. But he was flush of money, anu oi\tf day he caused a sensation. He became the owtier of a saloon,'TuYYJngbu ught out Pikey McGinn***!akiug bar, stock, goodwill, and building. Then, tft^.tbe .jpftater. surprise of Brickvjilejne promptly sold to Pikey's hated 7iwrto3veryihiug but the buildi n g IHkey'awojre^it was alt a put-up job, and left town in disgust. Succo tasli said it1 "Vfsis^'hecauae he intended to tear down ihe old house and put up a better tme^, ^And tear down the old place he did, and he carted the bricks away to his mystery shed-—to store them there until he was ready to build, he said. But the only thing that. Pierre built at that time was a wooden water trough, leading from his well to the brick shed. Most of the day and all of the night he locked himself in that shed with his secret. Those who passed in the rear of the place declared that they could hear him grinding something, and because of a pool of red water which had accumulated near the shed they thought, it must be the bricks. Now, Fred Ritchie was one of those who regarded Pinrre's conduct as most suspicious. He gave a good deal of thought to the mystery of the shed and the tearing down of McGinn's sa loon, and finally he .recalled having seen Succotash grab thai piece of brick and make off with it. Then it occurred to him also that it was Pierre who had caused all the trouble between Pikey and Slanteye by steal ing the chimney. And one day when Succotash was down in town buyi g provisions Fred sneaked out the back way of his shop with a bit aud stock and bored a hole in the mortar between the bricks of Pierre's shed to discover what his secret might be. As Pierre worked that night Fred had his eye glued to this hole and noted what he was doing. Next morning his neighbors were surprised at finding that Ritchie's chimney had fallen during the night, and they were astonished to see Fred carrying the bricks into his barber One of his customers was let into the secret, and another chimney fell.

The secret was \\ secret JIO longer. Succotash had touud gold in the piece of brick that Ritchie had seen him dart forward to pick up, and he hud ! found more in the bricks he had stolj eui franf fi,k£y. ..With the'ptoceedfc he | had set up au arasira in the shed, and in tills he was grinding gold out of ihe bricks of Pikey'a dismantled saloojh Ritchie aud, the others found scales and grains arid sack's of gold. When the chimney 'bl'tcltB had been ground up the wall bricks followed, and in a short space of time BriekviHe was a town <>f tents again. Then it was announced suddenly that Succotash and Ritchie had patched up their trouble and that Pierre had sold hjs arastra to Fred. Tnls was followed by Pierre's departure from town. "He has made his pile," the Brickvillians said to one another. The coal pits had been abandoned for this new method of gold mining, and there wasn't a whole brick building in the place when a freight brakeman one day brought a startling piece of news into the town. Succotash had bought a clay bank in Basin, and a brickyard as well; and he had astonished the good people of that nook in the mountains by converting this clayhank into a gold mine and this brickyard , into a mill in which to treat his rich clay, for the gold could not be freed by ordinary process of placer washing. Then Brickville collectively kicked itself for not having thought to trace out this brickyard before the man from Canada; and the Brickvillians folded their tents and went scurrying away to the mountains to search there for other claybanks that were studded with nuggets of gold. And so it was that the fire in Pikey McGinn's chimney happened to destroy the town.

The stanchion is made of the best quality of hard wood, nicely finished; is made 4 ft. high, with 6]/2 inch space between the upright bars, and can be adjusted very easily by taking out a bolt and make the space Sy£ inches, so t h a t it can be used for young stock or you ran' rfdjust the space wider for 1% inches or 8 inches which would be suitable for almost any size cattle.

He should be Re-elected by a large majority. Forjudge of Probate, A. A. Montague It has been our pleasure, both before and after the primaries, to endorse the candidacy of Mr. A. A. Montague for J u d g e of Probate and we feel that our course has been a proper one in view of the excellent service he has rendered the County in that capacity during his first term. He has been fearless in making bis dicisious, being guided only by a desire to render exact justice; he has been faithful in attending to the various details connected with each case and in giving his undivided time and energy to the business of hie Court. We urge upon each elector the advisability of giving Mr. Montague a second term aud thus show their appreciation of his services. See what the papers say about him on page 4. Wm. P. VanWinkle. For Judge of Probate. A Judge of Probate is elected for a term of four years, other county officers are elected for a term of two years only. With the two year term offices, it has usually been the rule to give them the nomination for a second term and in a great many instances the nomination has resulted in an election to a second term. T h e one term of four years for a J u d g e of Probate in this county has always been considered the same as two terms in the other county offices. The one term rule for J u d g e of Probate iu this county lias been strictly adhered to and no man has ever been elected to that office a second time. There have been two notable instances in which an attempt has been made to change ti-at rule, but the result in both initances show that the people of the county did not think it wise to or not they desire to perserve this n¥ established precideut. In order that there may be no misunderstanding as to the position of the candidate on the Democratic ticket for this office, he now here desires to say that if elected he will not be a candidate nor accept a second term under any circumstances. It has been suggested that Mr. VanWinkle is too busy a man for the performance of the duties of this very important office, and for the purpose of meeting and refuting any such argument or suggestion, Mr. Van Winkle desires to say once for all, that when he accepted this nomination he did so with the expectation of giving to it his best personal attention and supervision if elected, aud he now pledges his word to all the people, that if elected he will give to the faithful performance of the duties of this office his constant and personal attention. Mr. VanWinkle submits to the people of Livingston County for their consideration that he if worthy and well qualified to perform iu an acceptable manner the dut- Lnst Sunday Rev.

On account of the other entertainments on Friday evening the Hallowe'en social at Rev. Gates' has been postponed. M. E. Church Notes. Sunday was a tim day and people improved it by coming to chnrch, there being good audiences morning and evening. There ia no need of saying there was a good Rermon as the pastor does not give any thing else. At the close of the sermon the Lords sapper was admistered. There were 91 who remained to Sunday school and the collection amounted to $1.61. Next Sunday will be ob.^rved a* Sunday school day. The paster will preach on that line in the morning and there will be a little chancre from the regular work during Sunday school hour which will take the form of promotional exercises. Let everyone come out and enjoy the day with the Sunday School. If you are not a member of some school you are invited to come with us. 1 In that contest in 1904 between J u d g e Stowe and Mr. Montague for election much was said concerning thin time honored custom of one term only for this office. The Livingston Republican, the party organ of the county, argued against a second term and in favor of perserving the long established rule. In the issue of that paper under date of October 12, 1904, appeared the following: " O N E T E R M o r FOUR YKARS HAS BECOME-THK ESTABLISHED RULE IN THIS COUNTY FOR PROBATE J I ; D < ; K . " In the issue of the Livingston Republican under date of October 19, 1904, appeared the following: " P \ l R THK LAST FIFTY YEARS IT HAS BEEN THK KSTABMSHKI) PRACTICE IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY TO HIVE A J U D G E OF PROBATK A TERM OF FOUR YEARS AOTJ THEN I'ASS IT ON.

I The same paper in its iasue of October 2fi, 1904, said: " T H E N TOO P U R I N O T H E LAST F I F T Y YEARS OR MORE IT HAH BKCOME THE SETTLED PRACTICE IN THIS COUNTY TO <»IVE A PRORATE J U D O K FOUR Y E A R S SERTHE SAME AS TWO TREKS IN ANY OFFICE, AND THEN 4 Business Pointers. t roa IAUI. 2 year old durharn heifer due to calve in February, 1909. 44tt J. j , Teeple. t'or Sale.

" 'Am I right, sir,' he said, 'In con _*troing that white flag you raised a* a ^ sign of truce? Aad if that is BO, I should like to be informed as to why a t the same time you lowered the United States flag from the peak?' "The general, choked with mortification, hesitated for a moment, an<t then found himself unable to express his relinquishment in words. He slowly withdrew his sword from its belt hooks, and. fcehi it, hilt -formost, tc* ward the admiral, "who seemed unable to realize that it was tendered in s i r render. There was a moment's silence. In which he looked down a t that trusty old blade of steel, never before dishonored by a conqueror's hand. He glanced inquiringly at his fellow countrymen, and then at the others, as If questioning $4<rtr sanity,. "T regret to say, sir,* the general answered, 'that the flag was Wised in Surrender not only of this fortfltcatfoa, but of all military forces on the islands.' ' T h e admiral gave a quick start of surprise and Jubilation as the significance of -. this unexpected action •>dawned upon him. "•" 'The total surrender of the Phil ipbtnes?' he questioned, as if It was beyond comprehension that without further effort this island kingdom of the sea was tranquilly to be turned over to the first enemy who battered 11 challenge on its gates. "The general, beyond words, nodded in confirmation. In a few quickly spoken sentences the admiral translated the details of the conversation TO his compatriots. "Goaded by the sneers and satirical exclamations with which this was Kreeted, the general broke into a sudden blaze of wrath, shook a clenched list under the admiral's very nose, and in white heat exclaimed: 'Yes, it conies easy; but it's no fault of mine? I'm obeying orders. If I had my way I'd have seen you in hell before this happened. I would, so help me God!' "As a signal to the waiting fleet, they ran aloft the rising sun emblem of Japan, while the discomfited officers of the United States retired to the barracks for the almost hopeless attempt of explaining the situation to the puzzled garrison. These were soldier like, quick moving, wiry men from the west, proud of their country and their crops, and were of the kind that could not understand dishonor through mere obedience to higher orders. They stormed and swore, and for a time It seemed that mutiny would spread throughout the fortress, man tne great guns, tear down the flag of Japan and send hurtling masses of defiant steel out tnto the ranks of that force which had come upon them in a night and won an unearned victory. But they, too, were creatures of discipline, and in the end reluctantly accepted fate. "The great armada slowly gathered way and crept forward almost beneath the towering walls of the silent forts. Hoat after boat brought its load of marines ashore and discharged them on ground which in other wars? had boon stained with the blood of valorous men. Here on these beaches had stepped the armies of old Spain, coming as pioneers to battle with sav age foemen. In former years the wafers of this bay on another day in Way had floated the vessels of brave Dewey's fleet, had rocked and quivered beneath, thje impact of hja Msuna<f aud witnessed thq,jalbiug of bis victorious flag over the, smoldering ramparts.

C H A P T E R IV. The Harness of War. A breath of summer swept over the laud, giving.promise of wealth or bloom aud prodigality of harvest; but the plow stood idle and mated in the waiting fleldb, the meadowa went unshorn, aud the cropa, la which lay the riches of peace, uuplanted. Everywhere wat> the growiug din of anarchy aud the stern claugor of war. A people who had never tamely bowed a head beneath a yoke, nor rebelled at Juat ruling, found themselves diatraught in the whirling current of unreasonable tides which carried them out to they knew not what. A tamo yielding of territory over which, their flag had ooce flown, an equally paaaive surrender of islands which had come to them of their own volition, seeking In the spread of the eagle's wings the shadows of security, and„ last of all, as a crowning climax of folly, the sending of warships to neutral portal From east to weat, aa the oceans run, from the border line of the north to that of the south, there awept over the greaj Waiting nation a call to arms. Na/9am built by mortal man could have stemmed t h a t rising ttdfig^f Indignation save the one that was erected by the administration In the hours ot its stress. News of it came unheralded as had all the ominous stories preceding it. Even a t the moment when an overthrow of the governing pojwfr* at Washington seemed imminent, there flashed across the wires from governor to governor the quick and insistent demand for fighting men. In every armory was heard the resounding clash of rifles. A hundred thou sand men, drilled for the emergencies of a country's need, sprang to their weapons like tensely strung warriors of old awaiting the pretor's command to charge. A country, which through days of defeat had seemingly slept, sprang into the harness of strife, r.s if electrified by the God of Battles. Simultaneously with the ordering out of all National Guardsmen and i further; call for volunteers, which re ceived instant response, every railway traversing^the"- country was requisi tioned by the war department. Yet, in all this turmoil the destination of this suddenly mobilized and splendidly powerful array remained a. secret. In vain the press of the country and its most influential citizens de manded knowledge; but not till the day when from all directions swarms of armed men sallied forth, was this information given. And as if blackened by a scourge of locusts, the Canadas awakened one morning to find that along 11,000 miles of border land were spread a line ot soldiers, the most singular line of repulse ever Btretched between nations. It. was one of excommunication. Not even the commanding officers as they took their stations knew th* whys or wherefores of this most remarkable move, although their instructions were of the simplest, and were that under no circumstance* were there to be acts of unfriendliness nor, even under provocation, move ments of aggression. They were to stand as an insurmountable barrier hetween the United States and the dominion, prohibiting traffic, passage, and communication, and nothing more. No man might cross the border, and wives, which in days of peace carried from one country to another the news of the day, were cut and torn from their poles as if no further word might ever be transmitted through them. Nor was this all. Wherever a cable touched on all the outer edges of this great land might be found soldiers in charge. Wireless telegraph stations were abruptly closed, prohibiting the use even of the air itself. Procla mations were issued that instructions had been given for the perforation of any airships attempting outside communication, and the penalty of instant death was threatened any aeronaut who disobeyed this command. From every seaport vessels of all nations, friendly or unfriendly, were summarily excluded. Protests from captains and from companies were ignored. The United States was suddenly blockading not only its own means of communication, but sealing its ports as well. No message might be carried In or out, and, as if fearing also for its southern border line, the soldiers ot the regular army were placed there. The vessels of the navy which were in the home waters of the Atlantic were put. on patrol duty, j steaming up and down the eastern < coast with the regularity of policemen on their beats. To the world at large the United States of America might never have been. The fabled Atlantis of old could have disappeared no more completely nor been cut off more effectually from intercourse with outside mankind than was the great ( American nation. j Whatever criticism aud surprise had been caused among other powers by the abandonment of the Philippines aud the Hawaiian islands was outdoue by this latest move.

In the capital itself representatives of foreign nations, hearing of this embargo on the porta, stood upon their rights and demanded either their dianjjtaal or the free aud uninterrupted g&aaage of their communications. Some of the more importunate ones were politely told that they might take their departure at any time they deemed fit; but were given warning that it must be within 48 houra or they would not be permitted to pass the border line. These discomfited diplomats either hastened to the aeareat harbor, embarking upon t h e last steamer leaving, or ehotfe to remain within t h e country.

France, with the memory of an earlier war, remained passive. Russia, smarting under the recollection of her own defeat, refused to take any steps which directly or Indirectly might aid Japan. And the smaller nations awaited a leader. England was placed in the most peculiar and trying position of all. The They Ran Aloft the Rising Sun Emblem of Japan. last official utterance of the United States to a foreign power had been to her, in the positive assertion that, come what might, she of all nations need have no fear of being embroiled, and that, under no circumstances need she apprehend war with America. The English ambassador, who was one of the last to take timely advantage of his opportunity and seek a temporary residence in Montreal, cabled his country n f ran It admissior that the policy of the United States was completely beyond his comprehension, and that whatever of the situation might be known from persona) observation would be explained by his secretary, Guy Hllller, due at any moment, in London. The ears of Europe were therefore open for such commit nications as might be imparted by this young man, who for the moment became of paramount importance. Thus it was that Hilller, arriving at the Liverpool docks, found himRelf the center of all interest. A swarm or newspaper correspondents, more or less distinguished in their profession, sought, interviews; but, warned in ad* vance by wireleea telegraph, he de clined all conversation. The wharf was black with people, who anxiously craned their necks to catch sight of the man who was expected to elucidate the greatest mystery of the age. A guard of constables formed a hollow square round him and forced their war up the long, tunnel-like shed leading to the train which was to convey him to London. When he had gained his seat in .r compartment reserved for his use, an-' the train whirled away past neatlywalled farms, prosperous villages and great, cities, he wondered at the strange trend of events which had thrown him so prominently into the foreground. He smiled in irony as he reviewed his own actual knowledge of the situation, and realized how little he had in the way of information in comparison with what he was expected to divulge. » " ' At Euaton stiHion'be was0 e a c o n e ^ to a carriage, <iud whlb^ed-a suit nqiw oJLaurijriae aa he recognized uu the pdfimi t the prime minister's coat or artn|.

Surreptitious node were interchanged by a crowd of loungers, and such comments as "That's hiuU" and " E'a the bloke w'ata goiu to tell us abaout It!" floated to him aw the footman slammed the door behind, mounted the box aud whipped the team into a gallop. H e was ushered into the sacred pre cincta ot the prime minister's private chamber, and found awaiting not only that Important person but the foreign secretary, and a lord of the admiralty as wail. The ponderously #ealed packet from hia ambassador waa torn open aud read aloud. It contained the following startling statement from his perturbed and irate superior: "1 have the honor to inform your lordship that I am In a country evidently inhabited by maniacs. 1 have painstakingly sought a logical explanation tor the acts of this government, aud frankly admit that I am unable to understand either its attitude toward hia majeaty'a government, ita proposed plan of campaign, or what the effect of this war will be upon other nations i have been persiatently refused any intimation as to what has taken place or is Intended. In a^ personal inter view wKh . Mr*ekHAllency, the president of the United States, I have been positively informed t h a t his country will under no circumstances permit any demonstration against Great Britain, but that it may become necessary to suspend intercourse for a time. I cannot tell what is meant by this, nor would he give me further information. The attitude of the administration, backed 5 ¾ b y congress, ia that of supreme e ^ t i s n i and self-sufficiency, despite the Jp^qg^ion taken by the people and the preijs, as shown In newspapers which are sent herewith. In view of the uncertainty of the stiuation, the enigma presented by the United States government's attitude, and the threat that within 48 hours all exchange of communication wiji be suspended, 1 deem it wise to suggest that his majesty hold himself in readiness to make an .overpowering naval demonstration in these or Canadian waters, if need should arise. I am sending this by my secretary, who can answer any questions of a more pertinent nature as well as I could." The letter, written in the crabbed hand of the ambassador, was slowly read aloud, those present straining their hearing that no word might be lost, and at its conclusion they sat dumbfounded. ,'You were there, 1 believe," said the prime minister, slowly swinging back and torch in his swivel chair, and addressing the secretary, "when the news of the surrender of the Philippines was received?" "Yes, your lordship." 'What excuse had the government to make, for such unwarranted action?" "None whatever." "Do you mean to say thai they suffered without protest or defense the surrender of a fortification which coat millions of pounds, was adequately equipped and able to repel successfully the attack of such a fleet as Japan sent against it?" "Yes, they even accepted it C9m plicently." From round the room came murmurs of amazement, while the rustle of newspapers showed the anxiety of those present tn glean what information they could be perusal. Losing their phlegmatic air of self possession and casting official dignity to the winds they bombarded Hillier with questions, which in the main he was unable to answer. The voice of the stately lord of the admiralty rose above the others in a sudden, insistent petulant question. "Do you know anything else worth while?" he asked. "No," answered Hillier, "I have no knowledge other than that which I have given to you, which in itself was gathered elsewhere than from an absolutely silent and secretive government." (TO BE CONTINUED.) A Tragedy in Arabia. Once a a old Arab out of atone carved a scarab, aa a sort of good luck charm to wear. It was so artistic, such a bug realistic, that the sight of it gave him a scare—he thought he had got a case of "mania au potu" from the effects of a night before's tear. While feeling thus orelde he drank some bichloride, thinking the bug would dissolve then and there. But dope can't hurt scarabs, while it is bad for Arabs, and though they buried the Arab, the scarab felt fair.

A dissatisfied look passed over her face. She was silent* "Whaf a troubling you?' "I was thinking of my own Olaappolntment in case the coin fell the wrong way." "But 1 thought there was no WTong way for you." No reply. "Does the other fellow possess an advantage that has nothing to do with love?" "No." "Then, if you can be hippy with either of us and can't decide between us, why would you not be satisfied with the decision of a toss?" "Why, because—how stupid of you— the coin might decide the wrottg way." It was his turn to pause He waa of a scientific turn of mind and had a fancy for paradoxes, but here was one that baffled him. "I nave it," he said finally. "Well toes tbe coin, and rf it falls the wrong way you are to have the privilege of deciding the right way." She neither assented ner dissented, and, taking a quarter from his pocket, he said: "I choose this eminently respectable head with a serious face, a wreath and the motto, 'In God We Trust' I'm perfectly willing to trust in God." "You said that just aa if you had no confidence whatever In me." "You, not being able to choose between two lovers, are not to be relied on by either.

"He has won," he said coolly, putting the piece In his pocket "Permit me to congratulate you." "On what?" "On getting a spread eagle husband who will love you when you are good and stick arrows into you when you are bad and clothe you with silks or satins." Her eyes wandered all over the room, lighting nowhere. "Tell me plainly," he said, "without beating around the bush, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the result of the tossr* "I might not be satisfied if—that i s " - She paused and looked out of the window.

Theae were versatile gentlemen, and if one vocation proved irkBome or unhealthful from the legal point of view, they itmid always pass on to another. They found it convenient to change their occupation frequently, as well as their ipost office address; it diverted the official mind, and kept it guessing. Mr. Collins found his partner in a marvclously short time; ho was used in it. lie shook his head a trifle, which meant, that their immediate future was not of an encouraging nature. Mr. Lyman thrust out. his under lip in token of his displeasure, as they edged away from their nearest neighbors. "If we run for it. when the crowd #oes out to the track, there'll be a -million smart. Alecks ready to help «m catch us," he mused discontentedly. '"I think they mean to catch us Tiere if they can, or track us down to a good place and nab us. But they don't know that we're onto 'em. We'll fool cm. We might raise a big row, Mickey, and light out in the racket, We'll stampede the crowd, that's it!" Mr. Lyman radiated good nature jigaln, as he thought, of the mischief at his command.

The pool room was not as lavishly provided with exits as the more modern structure*, and a mob there was a.thin* to flee from.

A pain shot through Brownley's foot, but he rolled swiftly to one side, just as the pushing, struggling mass poured out on the ground. It was over in three minutes, and men rushed from all sides to disentangle the heaped-up mass of humanity. Many picked themselves up and limped off, disheveled and cursing, but. some had to he lifted carefully, with broken ribs and legs, and bleeding faceH, and above and around there was a babel of excited questions.

"It was the slickest thing I've seen this season, and there was lots of money dropped or pinched in the shuffle I went in with the crowd, Billy, and T made some fair pickings myself."

The author of 'Confessions of a Beachcomber" says: "They take every care to avoid crocodiles, exercising great caution and circumspection when crossing Inlets and creeks. . . Their indifference to sharks is founded on the belief that those which inhabit shallow water among the islands never attack a living man. And so they continue to think, notwithstanding a tragic incident like the following, which. Indeed, they attributed to a debil-debir and not a shark at all: The, captain of a beche-de-mer cutter was paddling in a dingey along the edge of a detached reef not many miles from Dunk island, where several of his boya were swimming and diving. Suddenly one of them waa seized and so terribly mutilated that he died in a few minutes. Although the captain was within eight or ten feet of the boy and three of-his mates were not more than a few yards oft . . no one saw a shark or any other rl»h capable of inflicting such injuries as have caused the death of Jimmy' nor was there any disturbance on the surface of the wa,ter."

"With a whole crowd on the floor at once and skipping up and down on the floor right together, with the music, you can imagine what might happen. You know how necessary it is sometimes for a company of soldiers to break step when crossing a bridge. If this dance continues popular, It may be necessary for some of the dancers to keep out of step with the music. I know of one dance out at the Colonial club last season at which the barn dance numbers had to be stopped, the buildings swayed so noticeably."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. It U Not Solved as Easily as Some Farmer* Suppoee. - The nitrogen problem is solvable, but not solved so «uslly a s aotne people suppose. One speaker at a farmers" institute said: "A rotation including sufficient clover or other legumes will solve the nitrogen part of the fertility problem for us." This statement does not cover the whole situation, by any means, declares Farmers" Review. How can a rotation with legumes settle the nitrogen question when the legumes canhot be made to grow in the first place? And often, even when they do grow well, it is several years before nodules develop oil the roots, without which nodules no increase in nitrogen uan be made. It very often happens that the cheap^ est way to supply nitrogen is to buy it, even at 15 cents a pound. It takes several years to get nitrogen from the air by the help of legumln oua plants, even under the best condi tlons; that is, to get enough of it tt count for much. The process of gathering nitrogen from the air Is one of growth and de cay. A soil deficient in nitrogen can not produce the plants desired, and U they are produced they will be so pmall and weak that they will amount to nothing when they decay. Therefore before plants can be grown at all luxuriantly It Is necessary to add tc the soil nitrogen as well as other ele ments of plant food. It is better to add to the soil a lib eral amount of some form of nitrogen ous fertilizer than to take chances on gradually developing the nitrogen producing bacteria in the soli. There fore In the very first stages of solving the nitrogen problem, it may be neces sary to make considerable purchases of chemical nitrogen. But after the first good start has betn made, it should not he necessary to again have resort to commercial nitrogen. There are many plants that are hardy and produce pods, and all pod-prodUcing plants arjs nitrogen gatherers. Either clover or peas will stand severe conditions ofcxlrought, if they are well rooted. Clover and alfalfa will both stand winter conditions. Where red cldver will not do well, ulsyke clover rtr white clover will. In some sections, cqw peas and soy beans will do well and can be, grown for plowing under. Southern localities are, however, likely to reap the most benefit from these two plants. This must be said about cow peas and soy beans, that they have^a lVmr*ed root system and so If only the roots are plowed under they do not give the beneficial results secured ' from the plowing under of a clover sod. In any rotation carried on for the purpose*of keeping up the supply of nitrogen, the leguminous crop must be brought in often enough to give the results desired. How often this leguminous crop should be grown will depend on the natural richness of the particular field in nitrogen and also on the kinds of crops being generally grown as well as the quantities of crops taken off.

How t h e Tcmato May Be Grafted Up on the Potato. Yqu recently published an a'rticle'on grafting the tomato on the potato. Will, you "jkindly describe the process? 1 desire to try the experiment, writes a correspondent of the Country Gen tleman, and that journal replies: "In grafting the tomato on the potato, or the potato on tomato or in ma king any other graft of similar herbaceous plants, the simpler methods are preferred. The Saddle graft and the splice graft are the ones most commonly used. The splice graft is made by simply cutting the scions a smooth slanting cut. The stock is cut in the same way and the two members ore tied together with their faces joined. Splice. -SaddJr. Two Kinds of Graft. In order to get the best results, it is desirable to have the grafts made of rather tender shoots, such as have only partially hardened. In order to get a proper union with this sort of tissue, it is necessary that the cut be made with a very sharp knife, preferably with a razor. The two parts j are then rather tenderly joined togeth- ' er using very soft cloth bandages or moistened raffia. It is desirable fur- j thermore to cover the grafted plant with a bell jar or hand glass of some sort for a few days in order to prevent ! too rapid evaporation. If it is left ox- . posed to the open air, especially if the atmosphere is rather dry, the scion 1 dries out and wilts so badly that it : cannot recover. The saddle graft is ! made by cutting the stock wedgeshaped, while the scion is cut with a V-shaped slit so that it will fit down over the wedge of the stock. The rest of the process is carried out exactly as i already described for the splice praft. ; "Another member sneered. •• Tie probably meant a two-year old j egg,' he murmured." To the Kdltor — »U: —Doubtleas many-or your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grata fields or Western Canada, where such a largo number of Americana have made their home during the paat few year*. It Is pleaatng to be able to report that generally the wheat yield | has been good; It win average about 29 buehels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will'go 35 bushels to the acre, and others where 60 bushels to the acre has been recorded. The oat and bariefJ crop hfta been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnificent return for their labors. AH instance has been brought to toy notice of a farmer m the Pincher Greek (Southern Alberta) district— wh«re winter wheat Is grown—who ] made a net profit of $19.65 per acre, or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they ; are so well adapted to grain-raising, while the luxuriant grasses that grow everywhere In abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying purposes. The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers. It is now possible-to secure 160 acres in addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying f3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as.^ to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be ,se: cured ^rom the Canadian Government Agents. "The development throughout Western Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the world's history," is not the statement of an optimistic Canadian from the banks of the Saskatchewan, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of New York, ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late President McKinley and President Roosevelt, and considered one of the ablest financiers of the United State*. "Our railway companies sold a good deal of their land at from three to five dollars an acre, and now the owners are selling the same laud at from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying m w e up In Canada at from ten to fifteen." The editor of the Monticello (Iowa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: "One cannot cross Western Canada to the moun tains without being impressed with its immensity Of territory and its- future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier Villages there were substantially built cities and towns wirh every modern convenience. It was formerly supposed that the climate was too Bevere for It to be thought of as an agricultural country, but its wheatraising possibilities have been amply tested. We drew from Ontario many of our beat farmers and most progressive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating In greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent, of the settlers in that good country located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more." Pennsylvania Statesmen. The Pennsylvanians in George Washington's first cabinet were Timothy Pickering, secretary of state, and for a time secretary of war and postmaster- geueral, and William Bradford, attorney-general. Pickering was the only Pennsylvanian in his second ad ministration.

Easily and Cheaply Built—Some Datails of the Work. The greatest trouble heretofore In making concrete culverts, drains, etc., has been to remove the core, which 1s very easily remedied by building the core, us illustrated, in four sections, two sections being joined together, so that when removing from the completed culvert it folds together and is removed iu a moment's time. Again, by having the core circular in form you gain greatly in the strength of the completed work, as the arch will withstand a greater pressure than the usual square form used for this purpose. This simple machine can be built by anyone, declares A. A. Houghton, in Orange Judd Farmer, and is made as follows: At 'both ends of a board ten inches long, 2% inches wide and one Fig. tv-^Constru^tiftn of Core. inch thick, make a mark three-quarters of an inch from the bottom. Place this beside a wide board of same thickness on your workbench, and after setting your compass at seven inches, draw a quarter circle from one of the 3-quarter-inch marks to the other; this will describe just one-fourth of a circle 14 Inches in diameter. The board is cut along the circular mark just drawn. Now on the bottom edge make a mark at each end of this board just three-quarters of ae/inch from the end along the button)'«8ge; draw a line from this mark to the end of the circular CUt jost made and saw off this little three-cornered piece, which mitenr>tln| board at an angle of 32 degrees, and so allows the four segments of cfrcll4L-U». fuVUQBjethej1 to form the completed circle. Use the,board you have just C*t aj^a aattern and cut 15 mo¥*.exactly"like i f Now take •ne-iircb strips which are seven, eight or ten feet long, whatever length you-desire to culvert, and nail to these circular pieces, as shown In Fig. 1. Place one of each of the quarter segments of circle at each end and two at equal distance apart in center, and when you have nailed the strips as illustrated one-fourth of it it finished. Two of these sections are joined together with strap hinges, as shown in Fig. i, a hinge being placed' The average healthy man or woman i s usually eager to be busy at some | useful task or employment.

No orchard should he allowed to go into winter with the gnourjd covered with weeds, cornstalks, straw or anything else under which mice can hide. This has heen the undoing of many an orchard. Sod often produces a growth of grass late in the fall that nii?s together and makes a good hiding place for the floid mice. From their hiding places they sally out and attack the trees, making paths under the snow to the trees. The burning of the dry grans and the harrowing of the soil; if it be plowed, will do away with the, refuses of the mice. The danger does not come from mice far from the orchard, hut from mice in the orchard. Especially is it undesirable for the grass and weeds to be allowed to grow up immediately around the trees, as this increases the danger. right or allow them to fold down as required. The core is now complete and will mold an opening in culvert 15 Inches in diameter. When a larger or smaller opening Is desired you can simply change measurements in cutting the material to make the size desired. In operation, boards are set at each end of the culvert, also at sides; the bottom is filled with concrete nau<JUre to the depth of two Indies; then1 the semi-circular forms are set -rn plaop, with edges together, aJKKthe KkifltWte mixture filled in around them and on top to the depth of threel~tQUi> or six inches, according to the pressure that is to be placed on the calveK. For ordinary usage a fuur-inch depth on top is sufficient. When finished the concrete is allowed to set or harden for several days, when the side boards are removed and the braces on center forms or cure pushed back, folding the forms together, so that they can be easily removed, as illustrated in Fig. 2. With this simple machine a neater, stronger and more satisfactory culvert can be molded, with less labor an4„l^9(ce certain results 4hun with a qjr square form SPIRIT ACTS IIS flUBGLAR ALARM W A H N d F A M I L Y T H A T INTRUDER HAS ENTERCD HOUSE AND T H S Y SCARE H I M AWAY.

New York. -Here is the story of how a child's life and a fortune in jewels were saved from a burglar-murderer by a warning given by a spirit, which, after sounding the alarm, took the emergency into its own hands and drove the intruder away. This strange tale is vouched for by one of the most prominent and wealthy St. Louis families, who upend part of each year in this cty, and who, obeying the orders of their spirit burglar alarm, have come boldly forward with full particulars, to which are attached their correct names. Jordan W. Lambert, millionaire chemist, with offices iu New York and St. Louis; Mrs. Helen Lambert, his wife; his six-year-old son, Jordan W. Jr., and Will and Lillle Hannegan, clerks in Mr. Lambert's employ, are the. persons involved. According to the statement made by MrSi Lambert, her son was asleep in the nursery adjacent to the parlor in which experiments' in psychic phenomena were going on. "We sat a little while with all the lights turned up, and Will Hannegan raised his hands above his head, and we saw one of his arms grow right out of hiB sleeve until it was nearly a foot longer than its normal length. It was cold and clammy and pretty soon it shrunk back to its regular length. "Then suddenly all of us were jerked from our seat* and led by some invisible force into my son's playroom, where he was sleeping in his cot. After being led back to the table we put out the lights and Miss Howard and Lillle Hannegan wrote rapidly the words: " 'Must watch Mrs. Lambert and junior' (her son).

No matter what the market, is the maker of good, reliable butter can always find ready sale at better than quotations. Have you ever tried a winter rye pasture for the cows?

Recently he was located by the owner of the adjacent mine, J. H.

To cover their tracks the conspirators are naid to have carried his clothes, containing his valuables, to (»alveston, and left them in a bathhouse, where they were found. Affidavits were secured from the boy, who was supposed to have sold the bath ticket, and from a young woman who believed she had seen Webb in the surf, to support the contention of death by drowning. An attempt was made to collect his life innurance held in the New York Life Insurance Company, but payment was refused and Mrs. Webb offered a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the discovery of her husband or his body. Webb declared that he does not remember a thing that happened after he drove to Houston on the night of June 19 last until he found himself on the public road near Joplin, Mo. ACTS L I K E A MAD MAN.

Mieh.-—Ofucials at the Menominee county poor house are up against a strange proposition. With one man who is really half man and half animal on their hands another character of the same kind has been thrust upon them. The first character was brought to . the poor house years ago. His name is James Eagen and he was born in Marinette county. The man has no mind at all. He refuses to wear clotheR and hi* hody is almost covered with long hair. He eats from the floor of his dwelling like an animal, can nor say a word and the only sound he makes is a whimper like an animal. The authorities long ago gave up the idea of trying to clothe him as be would tear the clothes off of himself A moment after they had been put. on. He does not know his own mother and recognizes only the keeper who brings him his food. The second character whom the authorities now have on their hand? is Edward Simeneau, who was at one time a bright-minded little boy- in ihe public schools of the city, but who now refuses to say a word, refuses to keep clothes on himself and, like Eagen, eats and acts in all ways like an animal. At an early age his brain be sran to soften and at lti years of ace ho had no intelligence at all. His condition has grown worse and separate quarters will havt» to be given him. Greatly Exaggerated.

H e was much disturbed by the lowing of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand, and in particular he was frightened by the crowing of the cock.

Droaut Woman the Tougher 8ex. Although men, as they run, are perhaps nms( ularly stronger than women, their inability to withstand the elements and tlieir reliance upon clothes place them considerably below the so called weaker sex in the matter of unclothed loneliness. Women wear clothes for ornament. Men use them as protective covering. A group of men marooned olotheless 011 an island In the temperate zone mipht l>e expected to die off in a month from drafts and colds and rheumalism. The health of women similarly placed would suffei little from the enforced exposure. Tht fact, appears to be, therefore, that in everything but muscle in vitality, ruggednosH. character, disposition, brain power, etc. - w o m a n Is the tougher, not the weaker, sex Kansas City Journal.

Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the supreme court. A Quarrel arose over the puyihent of witnesses. The house of representatives would paaa so bill which provided for the payment of those summoned by Chase. The senate would pass no bill which did not. aud a conference followed. Each refused to yield, aud the bill "was lost. John Itaudolph then attempted In the dosing hours of the session to have the witnesses for the managers of the trial paid out. of the contingent fuitd of the house. Hut the Federalists were ready. They hurried from the room, and When the v o t e / w a s taken the speaker announced no quorum. Memt>ers were thereupon summoned from the lobby and committee rooms. Hardly were they In their seats when a message from the .president was announced, and while the clerk was reading it the Federalists again left the room, so that when the resolution was B second time called up there was again no quorum. Once more the sergeant at arms went Into the lobby, and once more the members came in. But an enrolled bill was reported, and while the speaker was signing it the Federalists a third time slipped out, The announcement of no quorum which followed was greeted with shouts of laughter.

Kngland learns thai Jup fleet is fast approaching western coast of America. CHAPTER IV.—Continued. The prime minister, as if recognising their informant's plight, in a friendly tone of voice said: "Mr. Hiilier, I presume you are tired after your journey and would like to rest before any further discussion of this subject. I would suggest that you go to your chambers and return here tomorrow." "What sense is there in his returning ?" came the angry question of the lord of the admiralty, as the secretary bowed himself out of the room. "He doesn't even know, I presume, that Japan is already sending every available ship she has against the western coast of America as fast as steam will carry it." Sending an invading fleet against an apparently passive country in some pari, of which was the woman he loved! This thought reiterated itself through Guy's mind as he passed down the corridor and out into the din and movement of the street. Where could she be now. he wandered, and what, of her father'.' Insane, perhaps, and incapable of offering her protection of which she would stnnd so sadly in need in case of Japanese success. The words of a letter which he carried in his pocket, and which to him was of more Importance than the dispatcher he delivered, constantly recurred to him : "It is always wiihin the realms of possibility, when war is on a land, that friends may never meet again. If such should be our case, I pray that you will remember this, even up to the last-—I loved you." In the dusk of early evening an army of countless men and women hurrying to the trams, the tubes and ihe buses, swept past him ignorant of his misery. What was war to them in a country thousands of miles across a sea and In which perhaps there was none bound to them by ties of affection? The United States might isolate itself by sea and intrench itself behind cordons of soldiers; but he would go back! Yes, he would find a way to pass all their barriers and gain the side of the woman who merited his protection through her avowed love, and in this, her hour of need, seemed" crying out to him across the uttermost spaces of the world, beseeching him to return—only to return! CHAPTER V. In Secret Paths. Nippon, the home of the Samurai, in her adoption of newer methods, had not permitted her secret service department to remain fn ancient, form. Modeled on those lines which had made the intelligence bureau of Russia one of the most effective in the entire world, and profiting by the publicity given to nearly every movement of importance in the United States, she was minutely informed of all that had been and was taking place in the country she hoi>ed to overcome. She had depended upon this knowledge as a valued factor for the suhjugation of the American colossus, not. foreseeing that a country capable of closing its doors to the world would also find means to circumvent foreign agents. To *he last minute she relied upon her emissaries in nearly all the larger cities of America under the direct.'on of Count Seigo. Away back in the time of the Tukugawa Shogunate, when the almost in vlnclble leader Seigo was an Idol to the youth of Satauma to be toppled over only in the civil war of 18J7, Jits son wks bqing educated.in * leading American iiniTerilty. The downfall of the father practicably qptiled t h e lad HB the L'uited Stares until family and political Influence had time to ftar sell itself, when by progressive steps he gained the good graces of his government and was given responsible positions In affairs of state. His knowledge of the American political situation wan complete and accurate, and no man was better informed on ihe strength and weakness of ihe re public. It hud been largely through his ad vice that the dispute between the two nations, trivial iu itself but portentous in possibilities, had been used as a pretext for war- Thoroughly conversant with congressional methods In the United States, he had watched year by year the qulbblings of legislators over naval bills which usually ended in inadequate appropriations. Of broader mind that they, he had long foreseen that a country which bad come Into distant colonial possessions must of necessity enlarge its navy and augment its efficiency, expend money In unremitting streams Tor maintenance, and stimulate its men to seek Individual excellence iu the border Hues north and south or embarking on the high seas for foreign ports. Singularly- enough, NU*» prejudice in the eastern states had never reached the point or acute discrimination which made the denizens or that section classify the Japanese and Chinese In one broad category as orientals; it was therefore easy for Seigo to don the garb of a laundryman in the city of Washington, improvise a pigtail, and without interruption assume to pursue this vocation. Fertile of resource, he readily discovered that in a situation where anarchy might thrive the followers of the red flag would be his most valuable spies. Without difficulty he allied himself with this element, and gained a friendly footing with them by ostensibly favoring the advancement of their cause in Hussian domains. Their confidence iu him was strength ened by the fact that he was accomplished iu their language, which he spoke fluently, and was a liberal contributor to their treasury. Having thus ingratiated himself, the next step was made easy. He se lee ted such tools from the ranks of these malcontents as seemed best fitted to his hands, and thereby established a means of securing news that would have been impossible in any other way. From his little hovel he directed these men as seemed best, Seiao'B Most Valuable Ally W w One Meredith. gunnery and drill. He had observed the growth of conceit, which, like rust beneath a coat of paint, led men to believe so devoutly In American superiority that they neglected to analyze the actual power which could positively be developed. By a process of elimination he estimated the fighting value of the American navy, discarding vessels still in service but obsolete, and others still on paper but looked upon by the unsophisticated as a part of the nation's strength. National prowess he regarded as a small factor when granting equality. Seigo's observations had been so careful and his conclusions so logical, that reports sent to and passed upon by the elder statesmen of Japan had led them to feel certain of victory long before war was declared. Nor had his predictions in the opening events been unfulfilled. True he had not expected the abandonment of the Philippines; hut he had confidently foretold the period of torpidity, of confusion and lack of cohesion, which had followed. It. was with satisfaction, therefore, that he observed the trend of events when hostilities were finally declared, and from the quietude of his study saw the whole country waiting for the government to act. while apparently it remained somnolent. The surrender of the islands came as the first perplexing problem for which he could neither account nor understand, and his activities prior to that event were nothing when compared with those subsequent. He was too adroit ever to have appeared as a laborer in the limelight, and was therefore eminently fitted to drop from sight, at the outbreak, when his fellow countrymen were leaving by hundreds seeking places of refuge across assigning them to tasks of more or less magnitude, and paying lavishly for anything of value; and to his obscure place there came divers men when night time offered the cloak of darkness to the furtive. Seigo's most valuable ally was one Meredith, of English parentage, and a man who for years resided on Cross street, Paterson, N. .1., that unfortunate city whose very industry and peacefulness had made it the gathering place of the Reds. Meredith was a machinist by trade, and an employe of a supply house; so It was not surprising that he brought news of strange and unusual purchases made through many sources by the United States government. In this there was nothing alarming, and it was rather with curiosity that the astute descendant of a Samurai looked over these reports and vaguely wondered whether they might have bearing on war. He was sufficiently painstaking to ask for others and check them up; but in this he gained nothing beyond the certainty that the navy department, while existing In a state of seeming stagnation, was inwardly very active. He made many trips to the points where these purchases were made, hut found them innocuous in so far as he could reason. As time went on, however, he found that the greater portion cf these ship ruents were being sent to Miami, Fla. And WRF driven to the final conclusion that if the government was active in any way at all, the key must be at the small city on the southeastern coast. News had leaked through to him to the effect that the ships of the United Statns were scattering out over many seas instead of mobilising In western waters. More than thin, Seigo learned that in all navy yards there had been a cessation of work, whereas an Increase would have seemed more reasonable, considering the unfinished stKtt of several -cruisers and battle shlpV" ! [:' • , On "first •itriougi& he a t t r i b u t e this latter ;lap*f to #)ue pf t£e frequent chghMs of policy or a dearth or funds, but ,now, in view of these later shipments and purchases, he began to aueatiou. iu Washington no uew« was obtainable. TUe administration was preserving a wooden front toward not only the world but its own people as well. Congressmen and senators knew nothing beyond the declaration of war and the empowering of the president and his cabinet in special session to act for the country, and the administration was apparently doing nothing whatever out of the regular routine of business. It was this pauclty which drove the sham laundry man from his irons and away upon a journey. His trip southward was accomplished with ridiculous ease. He bought his ticket to Miami withoui being subjected to interrogation, boarded the second clash or smoking coach at the head of the train \\ Ithout hindrance, and rode away in undisturbed solitude. No one seemed aware or in any event to care for his presence. There were no attempts at conversation, except In one Instance where a good-natured southerner hailed him with: "Hello, John! Going to start a wash shop somewhere?" nor was he in the least perturbed save on an occasion when a rough threatened to tweak his pigtail; but even this went no further than words. Everywhere were criticisms of the conduct of the war and imprecations against the administration. The Amercans themselves were no more cognizant than he of why soldiers had been stretched along the border line, ports closed, and communication cut off. The citizens of the country itself were as mystified as the Japanese, and frankly thought the situation a foolish one. In all that long journey down the eastern coast he learned nothing whatever of importance. His delayed train dropped him off late at night in the Florida town, and he was compelled to seek lodging with strangers or to sleep in the open. He chose the latter course, and went out below the city, across the bridge and toward the Punch Bowl, where he found rest beside the road till early morning. When the first rays of the sun were filtering through the great trees and drenching the creepers with light, he returned to the city, assisted on his way by a kindly farmer who was driving in for supplies. From him he learned where the Chinese laundries were situated; but could gather nothing whatever confirming his suspicions that the government was either in possession of a plant, at this point or even conducting any expeiiments in the vicinity. Still disguised and acting upon what had been told him, he sought the abode of the Chinaman, who was already sweating over his tubs, and found him amenable to persuasion and desirous of giving as>,istar>ee when paid considerable sums of prote.-tion money. His horn of phnty was a golden one, but pro\eil useless in a day of fruitless effort, his most careful inquiries bringing nothing in the way of return. Tired and discouraged, lie passed the early part of the night in sleep from which he was aroused by nightmares of horror and forebodings of failure, his mental state robbing him of rest. In the hope that fatigue would cure insomnia, he donned his clothing and sauntered away through the deserted streets, his heavy leather soles clumping upon board walks and across sandy patches. It was past one o'clock in the morning, and all was still. He wandered idly along the main thoroughfare, and reached the far end of the town, before his attention was attracted by a sound from the water front, where hollowly through the stillness a steam winch was chugging and sputtering as it toiled away with its load. It brought him to a quick halt and aroused in his mind a multitude of questions, because along the entire shore line of this great country no craft was now loading and none arriving, according to his knowledge. He hastily directed his steps toward the wharves, stealthily seeking the shadows of the palm trees. Lying against the pier was a small gunboat of the United States navy, which was receiving supplies, and the men at work wore evidently hurrying at their utmost. The vessel had not. been there during the daylight hours —of this he was certain—hence her loading at night could indicate but one thing, a desire for secrecy. His nerves keyed up in the hope of a discovery, alert, and inquisitive, he crept close to the freight shed where the arc lights threw huge spots of white. So this accounted for the disposal of those mysterious orders which had been reported to him by Meredith and others! But where could they be bound" What, was the destination of this ship which, even as he watched, was casting off her lines preparatory 10 sailing away into the night? (TO BE CONTINUED J EXCELLENT WEATHER UNO- WGNFICEKT CROPS * •«-*£ ., , ; : '(. REPORTS FROM W E S T E R N CANADA A R E VfcKY fcNCOURAGING. A correspondent write* the Winnipeg (Man.) Free Press: "The Piueher Cre«fc district,.- XSo*th*r» Alberta), the original fcocup of fall wheat, where it ha* been grown with out failure, dry seasons and wet, for about 25 years, is excelling itself thJ* year. T h e yield and quality are both phenomenal, as has been t h e weather for its harvesting. Forty bushels Is a common yi»*!d, and many fields go up to 50, tjQ and over, and most of it No. 1 Northern. Even last year, which w#s less favorable, similar yields were in some cases obtained, but owing to the season the quality was not so good. It is probably safe to say that the average yield from the Old Man's River to the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern. One man has just made a net profit from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of land. Land here is too cheap at pres ent, when a crop or two will pay for It, and a failure almost uuknown. Nor Is the district dependent on wheat, all other crops do well, also stock and dairying, and there Is a large market at the doors in the mining towns up the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Columbia, for the abundant hay of the district, and poultry, pork, and garden truck. Coal is near and cheap. Jim Hill has an eye on its advan tages, and has invested her.e, a u d i i bringing the Great Northern Railroad soon, when other lines will follow." The wheat, oat and barley crop In other parts of Western Canada Bhow splendid yields and will make the farmers of that country (and many of them are Americans) rich. The Canadian Government Agent for this district advises us that he will be pleased to give information to all who desire it about the new land regulations by which a settler may now secure 160 acres in addition to his 160 homestead acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also how to reach these lands into which, railways are being extended. It might be interesting to read what is said of that country by the Editor of the Marshall (Minn.) Xews-Mjessenger, who made a trip through portions of it in July. 1908. "Passing through more than three thousand miles of Western Canada's agricultural lands, touring the northern and southern farming belts of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with numerous drives through the great grain fields, we were made to realize not only the magnificence of the crops, but the magnitude, in measures, of the vast territory opening, and to be opened to farming Immigration. There are hundreds of thousands of farmers there, and millions of acres under cultivation,— lint, there is room for millions more, and other millions of acreage avaVjabh?. We could see in Western Canada ifT'soil, product, topography or climate, little that is different from Minnesota, and with meeting at every point many business men and farmers who went there from this state, It was difficult to realize one was beyond the boundary of the country."

Harry—Well, it's not a speed marvel when it comes to running up hills, but say. old man, you just ought to see it run up a bill. The L i t t l e Girl and the Donkey. The four-year old daughter of a Washington man not long ago saw a donkey for the first time. She talked to her father a good deal touching t.h« unusual sight. It was a "dear donkey," it was a "lovely donkey," etc., e t c Soon the child exhausted her stock of adjectives. "And so you liked the donkey, did you?" asked the fond parent. | "Oh, so much, daddy!" returned the youngster. "That is, I liked him pretty well. Hut I didn't like to hear him donk."—"Lippincotfs.

First, they declared the notion exploded that u j t a s t e for Kood r e a d i n g develops from r e a d i n g poor books. T h e \ e r y cont r a r y is true. T h e habit of reveling in c h e a p fiction is d e s t r u c t i v e of a wholesome p l e a s u r e In sound reading*, T h e love of books, Hke the love of virtue, feeds in high, clean, sv/eet p a s t u r e s , n o t in refuse, and not even on h u s k s . Again, the d e m a n d for certain, books does not require t h e public library to supply t h e m . It is a specious a r g u m e n t t h a t the taxpayers* money should a n s w e r the t a x p a y e r s ' desire. More t h a n (iO per cent, of the books" d r a w n from public libraries are works of fiction. The thin, tasteless s t r e a m of m o d e r n fiction is ton often t h e lib r a r y ' s chief offering to the community. Certain libraries adopt the rigorous m e a s u r e of buying no fiction until it is a year old. The librarians agreed that the rule, is an excellent one, if it is slightly elastic in its actual application. At all events, the helpful advisory r e a d e r for the public library is ihe man or woman who believes that in proportion as a jjjytMl book is a blebsijifcva poor book is a curse. It s e e m s incredible that niK|Q.civilized a country as Italy a man 'can have remained in prison untried for :J,S years, Yet the. goyeimraent is about to dispose of a case which has been p e n d i n g since 1870. On S e p t e m b e r 18 of that year two boys, aged 11 and fight years, started for a g u n s m i t h ' s with their father's pistol to be repaired. On the way they quarreled, and the elder shot the younger, probably by accident. T h e elder was arrested by the pupal authorities, then the rulers of Home; but, before he could bo brought to trial the temporal power of the pope was taken away. Hy 18S2 the new power in R o m e had reached the case and was ready to try it; but the d e a t h penalty was abolished about this time, and this caused fresh delay. Now, if he is so fortunate, the boy, now a middle-aged man, will e i t h e r be. discharged from cv.sloday or he formally punished.

CHAPTER V.—Continued. In hie anxiety he was on the verge of rushing out and trusting to any convenient pretext, when a boy came hurrying past him, whistling as he went and homeward bound. Here was the spy's opportunity, and he accepted it, He hailed the lad, and In pigeon English told him he wanted to get aboard the vessel if he could. "Well, you c a n t do it," came the response. "If you wanted to git on, why didn't you run after the ship instead of stopping me?" "Where she go?" queried Selgo. "Oh, you want to know Where's she's going now, do you, Mr. Chink. Well, a leNow on the dock said she was going to (luantanamo, and that means you couldn't go on her if you wanted to." Then with a derisive laugh he took up tho strain of his melody at exactly the sj;me place he had left off when accosted, thrust his hands into his pockets and continued his way. Seigo was elated. That accounted for it, then! The I'nlted States was playing some crafty game, using its <''viWaii naval station as a base; was conducting some experiment or outlining some strange expedition with necessities that could not be obtained in the big island to the south. The only perturbing thought was that the navy, instead of being inactive, had sfinw secret task on hand which had been taken away from home stations. He decided he must return to Washington with this single strand of information and there endeavor to secure others. He watched the lights of the ship grow dim, and then as fnrtively as he had come returned to the home of the laundryman. .The latter counted his pay and wondered why his guest, departed for the north nn the early train of that, morning. Selgo offered no explanations for his erratic action, and as he traveled to Washington he was In a gleeful mood. In duo time he arrived, and once more ensconced himself in his headquarters, hoping within a few days to gain more complete knowledge. He was handicapped In his quest, however, because he had no actual moans of access to government circles where such data as hr* wished might. l>est be obtained. Hut again accident, favored him. and again it. was in the night when he sallied forth. Tho hour was late when Meredith hroiTght. hJm word that several visitors had called upon the president, and, not, trusting to others a mission so important, he took upon himself the task of spying upon the great white building where the ruler of the country lived. From the darkness of his alleyway be emerged into a broader street, when an automobile went chugging past him, and then, just as it. crime beneath the rays of an arc light, a face leaned to the window, an i'vvni was extended evidently for the {•rri;o:e cf shaking the ash from a Hgar, a»d Selgo shrank back. In the shivering whit* rays ho recognized as one of the passengers in the machine no lean a personage than the president, and with him was another man whom he believed to be the secretary of war. From down t h e road eam« the sound «f another motor, which in turn whizzed rapidly along, taking the same direction as the previous car Selxo waB iiot certain, but conjectured [bat within it were other officials, und, bolng a man of action, unluxsltatlngly dashed aft«r it, noared the closed touneau, und after a breathless run succeeded in swlugiug himself to ihe springs behind, maintaining his place by clutching the overhang of the feu ders. Awaj through the outskirts he rode, hearing nothing from within und lu constant danger of falling off his pre carious perch. The car galued speed until his peril was great, for to be thrown would be to receive certain lujury. His fingers were btralued con vulslvely In their effort to hold ou, and once he was almost cast off by a sharp declivity lu the road. Now he could only trust to chance that the automobile on which he rode was following that of the president; but as mile alter mile was reeled off without a sight of the other machine ou wither hand, he felt assured that tho party was all one. He leaned out across one of the great rubber tires and peered ahead to where now and then he could catch the glow of a red back lamp, and was content. His journey was uot without discomfort, as the dust of the road whirled upward and into his nostrils In stiffing volume, until he was begrimed and almost strangled; but he clung on grimly, waiting for the mysterious trip to end. The big car stopped so suddenly that he had scant time to loosen his hold, fall off into the dirt aad roll hastily into a ditch by the roadside where he might be hidden from sight. To his surprise the vehicle turned through a gateway into a field, where he heard the slow crunching of the great wheels over the stubble. He raised himself to his knees, and theoi In a crouching posture essayed to follow J t lu Its wanderings, when he was arrested by a jsharp challenge, betraying the fact tha*? although the vis itors had been expected no chance was being takeu of entertaining others. Again he threw himself on his lace, waiting patiently for other sounds. The great flat before him showed dimly in its yellow bareness, stretching down to where the broad expanse ol river gleamed dully, and he could discern other lights than those of the motor on which he had been an undiscovered passenger. These suddenly vanished, and he surmised that the chauffeurs had extinguished them pre paratory to leaving the cars. He could trace out no other shapes in the gloom. Not even a building raised its dark bulk in the night. He felt the necessity of advancing farther. Foot by foot he wriggled forward, the splinters of the field imbedding themselves in his flesh unheeded, straining every nerve to avoid making a noise, and listening at intervals in the hope of catching some word of conversation which might give him v. clew to the cause of this nocturnal mission. From a short distance ahead came the mutterlngs of low-pitched voices, and then a period of silence. He was past the machines now, still crawling carefully. Once more he paused, when he heard a sullen muffled crash from the direction of the water, and in an agony of surprise and terror rose to his knees, forgetting that he might be observed. His hands Interlocked themselves in stress as he watched in breathless suspense for a moment, and then, almost moaning in despair, he crept rapidly back to the road, went cautiously down it for a hundred yards, and took madly to his heels with fright. All caution was thrown aside, and as he ran like an insane man through the night, with his overworked lungs bellowing in and out until they felt aflame, he burst into sobs, muttering to himself again and again: "Only the gods can save; Nippon! The gods help Nippon!" resentment chanced to act against him. Yesterday he had beeu smiling, supercilious and confident. To-night as he ran, he was terrineu, ashamed and despairing. Information had come to him that the blockade was complete, and lu no instance was ue certain iual «uy of his reports had passed through the lines. He rapidly reviewed the chances, and decided that he must get word to every uiau at his command to strive to pass a warning through to Canadian territory where it might be cabled to Japan. He counted, with Japanese reasoning, on his ability to bribe some oae along the border, fur gettlug that when American patriotism Is at full tide money has little weight. He had large funds at com mand, and In a crisis like this was ready to pom them out lavishly. His return to the capital was rupid, as he strained his physical powers to their utmost, and he was almost exhausted wht?n he reached the section where his Chinese ally dwelt. With dragging steps he was turning down a street, when a sharp whispered call lug or his name from the depths of a hallway arrested him. Stepping inside, he recognized his friend. The iustaut he was under the cover of darkness he was grasped by the arm and hurried through a doorway and up a flight of stairs. He would have remonstrated at this strange proceeding had not his conductor mumbled: "Come fast and ask nothing! It's your only chance to save your life!" Through a long corridor where there were no lights, out to a back porch which overhung skeleton-like from the building in which the residents were evidently all asleep, d^jwrf aaother flight of rickety stairs, and Into a vacant space, presumably a back yard, he*4ollowed. Not until they reached this secluded place did he have a chance to ask an explanation, und then, before he could formulate a question, it was volunteered. "The American secret service men have been after you. They are watching the house inside and out. C H A P T E R V I . The Flight of Seigo. Seigo understood at last that the sleeping eagle was preparing to descend from its aerie with mercilessly bared talons. In his flight to the city he counted every moment of value, and through his mind went, but one thought: How to get. news to Japan in time to avert disaster. What he bad witnessed was so convincing that he was .imaged at the devilish ingenuity of the Americans, who had led the whole world to believe them defenseless when they were in realityonly luring other nations on to their doom. He was filled with resentment. The shoe was on the other foot now, and If made a noticeable difference. When he believed the United States powerless to defend itself, it had been only fit and proper that. Japan should harry her, conquer if possible, and gain concessions of territory arid money indemnity; but. with the knowledge that the country was not only in a position to care for itself, hut also to conquer an enemy, ho viewed things in ar. entirely different light. Worst of all, he realized that he was more largely responsible for the outburst of war than any ofhor man, and aside from the ignominy which must be imposed upon his people was the appreciation of what might hap- I on to his own precious head when Clambered Through the Side Door of an Empty. They've seized your papers and every thing else in the place, T escaped und brought you money with which to go." "Hut my men?" "Arrested as fast as they came; taken quietly away, and now in prison." "Meredith, too?" "Yes, he was taken in the street above." Selgo gasped in astonishment. "Out there must be some who got away?" "No, not even one. You're the only man left The Americans are a terrible people. They have hoodwinked you until the time was ripe, then reached out and caught you all as n fisherman with his net. takes in a school of minnows. Even now they are waiting for you, and you'll have to act quick or they will get you too.' The spy felt suddenly that he had underestimated the enemy completely, An involuntary shudder contracted h ^ muscles when he comprehended that not only had he been watched until the propitious time for his taking, but that he had been deliberately played with, an unconscious mouse beneath the eyes of a vigilant, cat. Worst of all, thhs in itself was confirmation that none of the later reports he bad sent out to Japan had reached then destination. Probably every message he had dispatched was now in tho hands of the Americans. His only hot>e of conveying warning to his countrymen and for his own life depended on his escape from the clutches i.. these men, who could appear igrtorar: and torpid when in reality they we:v advised and alert. In a burst of impotent, rage he shook his fist* at the stars. His companion caught his arm. "Listen!" he said. "Yon have but one chance. You must get away from Washington to-night. I have a friend. a Canton man, who is a gardener in the outskirts. If we can reach him he will take you in his wagon to a rail way crossing before the light comes. There you can get aboard a freight train." "'Jo as a t r a m p ? " "YM, because all other trains will be searched .*' oel^o nhiUfeSeti ht=> sUquJtim's >b dis gu»t. He Would have uttered a pro test in words had not bis companion checked him and continued: "Ii JMU itio careful you can set to Chicago, where other friends of mine Will help you.

Mfiny a talented person is kept hack because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body. This is especially so with those - whose nerves are very sensitive, as is \ often the case with talented persona. There is a simple, easy way to got rid of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's experience along these lines is worth \ considering. She says: . i "Almost from the beginning of the nse of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure tho most trivial thing, either work or fun. "There was scarcely anything I could eat that would agree with me, The little 1 did eat seemed to givo me •more trouble than it was worth. I finally quit coffee and drank hot water, hut there was so little food I ; could digest, I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. "ft. was then a friend brought, me a hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it ; find aft or an hour I felt as though I had had something to oat — felt. : strengthened. That, was ahout five years ago, and after continuing Postum in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, to-day 1 can eat. anddigest anything I want,<fWaJk as much a s T witni. My nerve's Cre steady, ' ,;• "I belirv/e the fir'si. fh'fng that did mc any good ^nrt,,fcgave ui" an upwardstart, wa* Postum. and 1 use it altogether now Instead of roiTee." "There's a Reason."

T h * r HANKSGIVING is one of our highest and holieat duties. There are in the jf*>MkJl Scriptures more conit&} V^*2r mands and calls to praise * " * ^ than to prayer. Yet few duties ase more frequently neglected than this. There arc many people who are always coming to God with requests but who do not come to him with thanksgiving after their requests have been granted. Ten lepers once cried t o ' J e s u s *ror cleansing, as he'«Mfe passtarg* t h e n r n t a distance. He graciously heard them and granted their plea. When they had been healed, one of the ten returned to thank the healer, but the other nine came njoL .again with any word of recognition of the s p a t favor they had received, So it is continually—many are blessed and helped, but few show gratitude. Our Lord felt keenly the Ingratitude o f the lepers who returned not. "Where are the nine?" was his pained question. God pours out his gifts and blessings every day upon his children; and whenever no voice of thanksgiving is heard in return he misses it. If one bird of the forest is silent, in ihe glad spring day, he misses Its song. If one human heart fails to utter its praise amid life's countless blessings, he "Is disappointed. Many there are who think that, if certain definite days are set apart for praise it is enough. For example, they will he grateful for a whole day once in a year, touching then every chord of praise in their heing. thinking that, this is the way God wants them to show their gratitude. But the annual Thanksgiving day is not intended to gather into itself the thanksgiving for a whole year; rather It Is Intended to give the keynote for all the year's life. Life's true concert pitch is praise. If we find that we are below the right pitch, we should take advantage of the particular thanksgiving seasons to g e t . kqyed up. When the strings of life begin to grow discordant thanksgiving will put us in tune. The Ideal life is one of gladness. Cnthankf nines* and fretfulaeas.* are discords in the song. We have no right to live gloomily or sadly. Go where we may, we hear the music of joy, unless our ears have become tonedeaf. The world is full of beauty and full of music. Yet it is strange how many people seem neither to see the loveliness nor hear Ihe musir. It were well if many of us would train ourselves to see the glory and goodness of God, as revealed in nature. It will be sad r o i e a v e this world, afterstaying in it three-score or foyj-fltfore' yearn4 without having seen any of t h * ten thousand beauties with which God had adorned it. "Consider the lilies,'' said Jesus. Every sweet flower has a message of joy to him who can read the writing. One who loves riod's flowers and birds, and trees and mountains and rivers and •seas,1 and has leant**) *W**b«Ntt!&fe w i s e s *hfette*erywhere whisper their secrets to him who I'r'l.'vs^-.i fg, c~n n^vr-r h? ^ 1 a: lonely. The power to hear what nature's voices have to say is in our hearts, not merely In the ear. We must have the beauty in our souls before we can see beauty anywhere. Hence there are many who are really blind to the loveliness which God has strewn everywhere, with most lavish hand, in his works. So we must have the music in our,heart before we'pan hour the music which sings everywhere for him who has ears to hear. If we have thanksgiving within ys\ we will have no trouble in finding gladness wherever we go. It is a sad and cheerless heart that makes the world seem dreary to certain people;"If only they will let joy enter to dwell within, a new world would be created for them If we allow our heart to cherish unlovingness, bitterness, evil thoughts or feelings, we cannot hear the music of love which breathes everywhere, pouring out from the heart of God. But. if we keep our heart gentle, patient, lowly, and kind, on our ears will fall, wherever we go, sweet strains of divine music. Then a glad life makes a life of gladness wherever it goes. It leaves an unbroken lane of sunbeams behind it. Everybody is better as well as happier for meeting one whose Christian life radiates gladness and cheer. We can do nothing better either for ourselves or for the world In which we live than to learn the lesson of praise and of thanksgiving. "Let us learn to sing unto the Lord with thanksgiv ing," There are troubles in every life, but. there are a thousand tvood things for one trial. Sometimes we have disappointments but even these are reaHy God's appointments, as some d*y we shall find out. If people are unkind to us, we must go on loving just as before, our hearts full of unconquerable kindness, and it will finally win. The most deep-seated tendency to sadness can be overcome and replaced hy happy cheerfulness. The gospel of Christ comes to us and tells us that we must be horn again, born from above, born of God, and our very nature will be recreated. Then divine grace assures us that it is not impossible oven for the most, unholy life to be transformed into holiness. The being that is saturated with sin may be whiter than snow. There is no nature, therefore, however unhappy it may be t>orause of its original quality or its early training, which cafinot through divine help learn ihe lesson of happiness «nri thanksgiving. The secret of Christian Joy Is the peace of Christ in the heart.. Then one is not dependent upon circumstances or condlllon ».;il,gt.

PF%1'B secret, of contentment is the Ch-Je- !^?.'a [r.:c s*.vr:t of a h.vrr, i:f<\ Chicago.—Mm. Alice Boles, 23 years old aud. inclined to be stout, and her friend, Ml»« Ewnia Gardner, S3 years old and of willowy build, started from Cleveland, 0., to Milwaukee In male attire without observing the formality of paying railroad fare, and the result Is that they were locked up at the Attrill street police station. A hard hearted railroad detective ar rested them because his suspicions were aroused by the alae of their shapely feet. "The minute I saw the little fe'ect of what I first supposed were a couple of tramps I made up my mind the hoboes were women, and I arrested them." This is the explanation offered by Special Policeman Thomas Wetts oi the Chicago St Northwestern railroad, who was attracted by the actioma oi the women while in Mayfair, a short distance from Chicago. "I think it an outrage that two earnest women cannot wear troupers aud 'beat' their way like men without being arrested," protested Mrs. Boles as she gazed at her make-up and argued with Capt. Harding to be set free. "Miss Gardner aud myself live In Cleveland," explained the head of the masquerading expedition. "My husband being out of work, we decided to reach Milwaukee by easy stages. There is a chance of Mr. Boles getting ;t job there and, of course, I was willing to help him in every way possible." The task of 'beating" the railroads would be next to impossible for a hobo in skirts, so Mrs. Boles and Miss Gardi ner appropriated a portion of Mr. Boles' wardrobe and headed for the great northwest. For a part of the distance the plucky young women were accora panied by Boles and Charles Ford, Tho Visitor—WJi*t on **rth d o w that chap carry that phonograph round foi.

The Hard-Hearted Railroad Detective Arrested Them. who is said to be the intended husband of Miss Gardner, but the quartette became separated for a time and the women were obliged to pilot their own course. "We were getting along famously," explained Mrs. Boles, 'and would have made a success of the adventure hau not our feet begun to swell. You see we had ordinary summer shoes and the wear and tear of the road proved too much for them. "When we started we figured that, it would be pretty easy to beat our way on trains, providing we could get. rid of our skirts, Then it was that. I hit upon the plan of taking enough trousers aud things from my husband to make the journey. "If we had only included brngans in our list, of wardrobe iiftceaalf.ies that watchful iK>Hoenian would have lx>en frwiled and we could have proceeded on our way without interruption." Mrs. Boles and her traveling componlon were not in the leaat disturbed over their arrest, Axoept for the delay in resuming their Journey. She said! "From this Ume forth I am going to advocate women's rights and one of th* first of these will be the wearing of trousers. Why not?" "I am now 80 years old, and t h r e e year* ago I waa taken with a n attack of pMee (hemorrhoids), toieaftlng and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to. use Cnticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cutteura Ointment with a Cutlcura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and ft is fortunate that I used Cutlcura. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton, N. Y., Apr. 26, 1907." As He Understood It. Despite the imaginative nature of the child, it has a decided tendency to see things in a literal sense. This is noticeable in the acquiring of language. For instance, little Herbert was pleading to go out of doors to play. "When I see fit, you shall go," said his mother, decidedly. This settled the matter, and the little fellow went off to his blocks. In about half an hour he returned, and •aid: "Mamma, have you seen him?" "Seen whom?" replied the lady, utterly In the dark as to hia meaning. "Why, seen Fit." A Literary Race.

Here indeed was a No plan's Land where none ex tended & welcome. From then on he must depend entirely on his own resources, and he understood perfectly weil that he was nearing a hard finish of a long race. He lost no time in making a start. Under the pretext of going to a camp where he was to cook he in duced a launch that was starting out toward the mouth of Puget sound to take him aboard as a passenger and land him at its journey's end a short distance from Port Townsend. He was dropped off late in the evening at a tiny landing, and later saw the little beat speed back toward Seattle He was without food nave such as had tee* given him, and tightened the h&t beneath his Chinese garb in an tlfcfpatkm of a hard trip. Usu«ed to t*ie rougher life, he made painful progress, and nothing save his des peratkm enabled him to traverse the primitive strip between him and the «Aty. Footsore and dependent, he forged doggedly ahead, until at last by sheer will power alone he gained t h e outskirts of the port. Its wooden wtoarf was deserted, and many of the houses were closed and vAcant, the fetfr of Japanese shells and government weakness having driven the rnoTe prosperous inhabitant* away. Thoroughly worn out, he waited un.-. til night fell, then crawled into a coal shed and slept as only t h e worn and weary can sjeep. He ro^e refreshed and jubilant because he had' gained thus far without accident, hunger being his only immediate discomfort. From his depleted store cloth he extracted the smallest, coin, bent on seeking food before the city was awake. He made his way down the hillside to the business section without attracting attention, and entered the doorway of a grocery store, where a sleepy-looking youth was sweeping a*way the previous day's waste. In broken English he made known hi3 wants, and then, finding the salesman apparently friendly and stupid, lost some of hia native caution and began to ask questions regarding the watch kept, along the frontier. At his first query the boy looked at him slyly; but. t i t e r a moment's hesitation fell in attd answered everything readily, assuring him, however, that it would be tMfflcult for any living thing to get past the soldiers who kept watch and ward over the boundary line. Elated by the apparent ease with which he had secured provisions, he again retreated toward the edge of the city, mentally formulating plans for stealing a boat when night came, and by this means to make his way to Vancouver, where he would he on British soil.

He regretted the loss of hit) handkerchief, which he feared must have been dropped In' the grocery- store, but smiled at the thought of being within so, few. miles of a refuge where others might be bought and where he could find ease and comfort. jproxn back of him a deep belluwjng sound came faintly through the trees, and he wondered what the unusual noise could be, He rose to his feet, still holding a reiunant of food in hU hand, and waited for a repetition of the noise, which, borne on the breeze, was heard .more sharply. Only once before had he ever known that same sullen bay, and then it was when as a visitor in a southern village he had seen a pack of hounds followed by excited men pass him in quest of a negro criminal. His memory harked back to that time, and his hair raised itself in terror. He threw away, his food and dashed madly into the woods, seeking to escape that menacing uu face, ripped the false queue from his shorjt cropped bristling hair and rent his clothing.' Once, blinded with perspiration,, h e plunge^ 4nto whaj j p ^ a t » h e JU pathway; btrt fell through a iam^le at she end, to fln^ h i ^ s ^ l f fcsfde* » Wayside spring;. *He gulped thre* or tour swallows of water and retraced U s ste_ps,. cursing fate, for (he km* ol time, and ran with renewed energy down the roadway. A flash of re< fleeted light smote him in t h e eyes, and he anwiihat he had reached t h e water's edge. At bis feet stretched only tossing" waves, and like ft stag at bay he was driven to the^open. The, end seemed very near; now; for back of him the harsh clamoiings broke out into a triumphal walling note telling those behind that the quarry had been sighted. The hounds were coming un the run, and round t h e bend of the road emerged a n excited but grimly determined lot of men of that stamp which makes a frontier, set jawed, lean vlsaged, and running with the long, loping stride of those accustomed to sustained violent exertion. Seigo, distracted and desperate, took a few steps in either direction, uncertain which way to turn, and then discovered but a short distance below a boat in which lay a pair of oars. It was the only way t o gain a moment's respite from those great Two of the Men on the Beach Knelt Down and Aimed Their Rifles, dertone which his consciousness told him could have but, one quarry. He knew in an instant that the boy had betrayed him, and that he, Count Seigo, a nobleman of Japan and descendant of the Samurai, was being hunted by dogs like a Wild beast of the woods. For a few minutes he ran in a panic, taking no heed of direction, and bent only on gaining time to think, and putting space between him and his pursuers. A tangle of undergrowth compelled him to stop and seek for avenues through the wilderness. He ran down what seemed an old deserted road; but on neither aide could he And a place favoring a change of course. He was doubling back along the side of a triangle, and was so close at one time to the hounds that, he momentarily expected them to break cover, drop the scent afforded by the handkerchief and cut. across to where he was. He could even distinguish the shouts of the men behind, continually encouraging the animals in the chase, and heard one exclaim: "It's the Jap, all right, ov he wouldn't have lit out so quick!" His teeth came together with a click at. this confirmation of his suspicions, and now he realized that wherever an officer of the law was posted warning had been given of his coming. He swore that he would yet escape, and urged himself in the name of his country to rush ahead; and thus for many minutes the fate of Japan rested on a race between bloodhounds and a fugitive who tore headlong through tha undergrowth, careless of thorns nrhich reached out and scarred hia brutes which, with bellies low to the ground, with lolling jaws and flaming eyes, whose red he could discern, were closing in on him. H e made three or four frantic leaps and threw himself into the craft, shoving it off almost as the animals were upon him, and then with maniacal energy threw the oars Into the locks and bent himself double pulling against thorn Even then at the last he experienced one brief moment of exultation as he heard the swish of parted waters against the bow and saw the space widening between him and the beach on which stood his baffled pursuers. He saw the men halt on the shingle and heard them shouting to him; but never ceased pulling, hoping and half believing that he could put himself beyond range. It was Seigo against them all now, and he began to glow with triumph, not knowing the character of those men of the west who still gave him a chance for his life. Drunk with excitement, he shouted back a taunt. In his own tongue. Two of the men on the beach knelt down and aimed their rifles calmly and steadily at that moving target ' which was drawing away. They were as cool as they would have been if coveriag a grazing deer in the hills. The rising sun made of the Japanese a fair mark, lighting np even at that distance his sneering face. There were two quick puffs of smoke, which rose simultaneously into the air and floated away in little wisps, two short sharp reports, and Seigo sprang to hia feet, dropped his hold on the oars, and clutched his breast in agony, whirled round in his wildly bobbing craft, and then » l ° w l r * f c l $ d *<«*•?* *rtrr«ff* into the Wa^ergiff the'scmtid,-hfe days of effort ^erWnMed' lri fle!<kt t n o T t t l ittiastfh* Jt>nJijAd.

No word had come Irom Seigo fto bid h e j pause. The niott formidable armada that ever sailed the seas, attended by lighters that were to provide coal, and accompanied by transports conveying an army of men, steamed away to the laud of easy conquest. In the hope of striking terror Into the hearts of those they would subdue, the Japanese announced their purpose, and gave a somewhat exaggerated account of the forces being sent. The newspapers of t h e Wotld teemed with stories of the sailing of this monster fleet, told how all Japan had shouted "Banzai!" described the flower garlanded maids who aang gay songs, and pictured the remarkable modesty and valor of the admirals in command. In uome quarters of tne globe great sympathy was expressed for the United States, which apparently had no chance whatever fn such un unequal contest, aad was foredoomed to calamity and dissolution. The wiseacres of, European jpuwera, rose as. a unit and told how for more than 50 years it had been repeatedly pointed out that the over-sea colossus was facing destruction through neglect of her navy. Monarchical adherents saw deeper into,Jfite cause of a nation's obliteration, asserting that the proof had again been given to the world that a republican form of government was one which, by its very lack of cohesion and unwieldiness, could not exist. Other advanced thinkers, who looked far into the future, began a discussion as to the final outcome, what partition would be made of the conquered territory, and whether Japan would hold it as a colony for her own surplus population under a regulation colonial gubernation. English writers expressed gravp doubts as to Japan's ability to conduct colonies successfully, and were rather of the opinion that the country should be given to Great Britain, whose remarkable success in India and elsewhere had made her the fountainhead in this branch of government. Xew maps of the world were published in the most progressive periodicals, and souvenir buttons were sold in the streets of Tokyo depicting a very valiant little Japanese soldier kicking Uncle Sum into the sea and taking possession of his land. All the world bowed down to do honor to the "brave little biown men," and many aggressive powers regretted that they had r.ot been tiie first to think of taking possession of the United Stares, which their statesmen sometimes sj>oke of us being a nice little country iuid capabl" under reasonable rule of becoming quite a place. The nation under discussion remained in tha s a » ^ astounding condition of silence ami inaction. At llrs: it bad seemed that a clash along the Canadian border was inevitable. The massing of such great bodies of troops in such a position appeared almost a threat, and Great Britain in the first instance began hurriedly concentrating forces at points where they would be available In case of attack; but as day after day passed with no forward move and no action save that of preventing the passage of any person or the transmission of any communication alarm gave way to bewilderment. Canadian secret service men who succeeded In entering the camps of the soldiers soon returned to report that apparently the troops knew no more of the reason for their being stationed there than did the world at large. ^ In the meantime there gathered into the sounds, bays and harbors of foreign ports American vessels of war, which came to anchor and remained. On board these ships were the most disconsolate body of officers and men that, were ever collected in hulls. The last orders any of them had received had been made so positive, so plain j and unequivocal, that, they had no choice other than to obey. They had been commanded to gain these neutral berths and under no circumstances to leave them. They were not even per mitted to assume the slate color which betokens war on the waters, and therefore retained their dress of im- ; maculate white. They, too, seemed under the ban, and. like war doga in ! leash, strained irnpotently for action, j Nor was there nn officer in all these | idle and scattered ships who did not j wish himself on the waves of the Pa- | elfle, across which the enemy's fleet • was now forging. The time advanced until the Japan- [ ese warships were due to arrive at Honolulu, where they were to report, coal and prepare for the final struggle.

Did you ever hear of such a foolish thing? When my train came Iin this morning I went right over to the jail and saw the gentleman In charge and explained it all to him and he said that he would like to let Harry out, if he could, but that I would have to see you and explain to you. I know ho'd have dene it if he could, because he seemed a real kindhearted man. He said that he had a son about Harry's age an,d knew just how I must feel and he was sure there was some mistake, and—" "Bnt, madam, what is your son's name?" asked Billy, his tone somewhat mollified. "Why, Harry Ainsworth. And now that I've made it clear to you gentle men you'll have bim let out right away, won't you?—because I want to start back home to-night and take him with me.

"TeB, sir." ""Well—a—he does not seem to be charged with stealing a raaor." "Oh! I'm so glad, and then you'll—" "Bowers was arrested for stealing the razor and," continued Billy, not. feeling just, right about the throat, "and—a—Harry Ainsworth, I see, is charged with stealing a purse containing $50 from one of the guests of the hotel." "Not at all! Not at all, sir. I saw the newspaper myself—or the clipping rather—-anrl.^t said that Harry wae accused bf soiling a razor—and when 4? h.ad a razpr, too.

"But," commenced Billy, then he ^paused; the going was getting pretty heavy for him by thin time; he looked ai the other men. The foreman was looking out of the window, the manufacturer had picked up hls ''cigar, which had gone out, and, after putting the wrong end of it in Ms mouth, laid it down again; there was no hope for Billy in the others, so he lunged ahead.

The manufacturer coughed a little and said: "There's no use talking, if a fellow wants to.be sure he's rid of the hay fever he must stay away until after thV fifteenth of Ootober." In another minute the room was vacant. Billy reached home just in time to help "tuck the boy in." While he was reading the paper after supper he looked up at the sweet-faced woman on the other aide of the table and said: "Don't think I'll run for another term as prosecutor, Mary." A moment or two later he added: "And, dear, we muBt be very' careful to know with whom the boy plays." Where Forests Die Hard. That is the one astounding thing in this whole region of northern Maine, the regenerative power of the forest. Men with axes have been hacking at the giants of the wood up here for two centuries and more. The goliaths have been laid low, indeed, yet for one tree that stood on a given space along the hillsides and in the valleys of Number One a century ago five stand to-day. They are giants no more, it is true, but they are splendid trees, and just as the Lilliputians might prevail where Gulliver was bound, so these trees hold their owl against man and even press in on his clearings and wipe them out. There must be many more lumbermen with axes along the Macwahoc, the Moluncus and the Mattawamkeag before thV* besuitMjsd region will fail of its forest. Paraguayan "Sugar Plant," An herb, called by the nativae caa ehe, but bbtanlcally Eupatorium rebaudianum, grows wild in Paraguay. It is remarkable for its sweetness. Indeed, the native name means the "sugar plant." It grows along the borders of the river Amambahl, and Attains a height of only about five inches. The smallest bit of this plant when placed upon the tongue produces a surprisingly sweet savor, which, it; is said, lasts for hours. The saccharine power la much greater than that, of sugar. Recent investigation indicates that the nectareous element in this plant, closely resembles that of the licorice root. Walking Backward. Not long ago a man of 02 walked backward from Macclesfield marketplace to the Crescent at Buxton. He covered the whole distance of 12 miles in three hours 14 minutes 45 seconds, or 15 minutes 15 seconds under the wagered time. In 1S75 Alcock (that was the man's name), performed the same feat in two hours 44 minutes.— Pall Mall Gazette. rr« to* opentfott * » LenaV. natoJd-sslBsry from Is* Myd< t^oa was the only chance I hhd,sswtX GjMdedHsJmoatMmuchasOesvth, ' ?*$*> ds»y I read how other woman b M W a cured byI*di*K.

Miss Swanson found the waves rougher. Swimming became an effort, then an impossibility. Hager, by her side, no (iced her exhaustion and called to the launch. But—and perhaps it was only a whim of the little blind of love—the engine of the launch would not work Hager realized the danger for Miss Swanson, and, telling her to rest her hands on his shoulders, began swim ing for a place where the quietness of the water told him there was a sandbar. All but exhausted he reached if with his burden. The water was only nhoulder high and the two rested there until the launch was able to reach them. And then they were married—just two days after their adventure. ONI KIONIY GONE "4.T5 DOG COMMIT8 8UICIDE. Calmly Walks Under Auto Refuses to Move.

Sunday there was a large turnout of people at all services and the pastor preached two sermons on thanksgiving the one in tbe morning being one of the best ever heard in this church. It was on the missionary line as well. The missionary envelopes were circulated to be handed in at the Thanksgiving prayer meeting thie evening or the Sunday following. This will indicate to a greater or Iqn degree just how thankful we are for the blessings God is bestowing on us. The best way to give thanks and enjoy it is to make someone else happy. There will he a special prayer meeting this evening to take the form of the revival spirit also one Friday evening. Let all who possibly can attend both these services. Sunday morning next special meetings wilt commence and continue all through the week. Spread the ne^s, some yourself and invite all your friends and neighbors. Rev. Hawks of Albion will spend a week with Rev, Littlejohn and assist him in the revivals beginning Sunday evening.

The^slight hope that any of the entombed miners would be rescued alive was strengthened shortly before midnight when Peter Arnold, an American miner, was brought to the surface from the Rachel shaft, suffering only a little from his terrible e^xperjeace. j , Jos. JCearney, one of tha rescuing party, 'reported that there .were other men alive, and the others, encouraged with renewed hope, immediately bent all their efforts in clearing away the debris. Sunday morning the rescuing party had recovered 34 bodies and brought them to the bottom of the shaft preparatory to removing them to the surface. All the victims were found in the main entry, the debris in the workings making it impossible to explore there., , . The official's of the company assert that the number of men entombed will not exceed 125, while it Is feared by many t h a t the death Wst may reach H2 or perhaps 200. The first'? rescuing: party worked their way through the wreckage at the foot of the shaft and almost immediately found 10 bodies. Saturday was pay day at the mines and tonight 142 o/ the pay envelopes have not been claimed and it is believed that practically every man who did not call for his pay is numbered among the victims. So great was the force of the ex plosion that shattered portions of tht, woodwork about the mouth of the shaft were blown into Ten-Mile Creek, 2,000 feet away. Besides the three men in the cage portions of at least two other bodies were blown from the s"haft and were found In the £eld nearby. The ventilating fans' were put out of commission by the explosion and for several hours, until repairs could be made, no air could be forced into the. mine.

They were ordering i the crowd to keep back, as another explosion was feared. Suddenly Mrs. I Acker threw the rope up over her head and dashed toward the shaft, 50 i feet. away. One n u m b e r of the cons t a b u l a r y saw her, and gave chase. iOnly his speed saved the woman. He |caught her by the shoulders just as isho reached the shaft. When captured I she shouted: "My husband's down there, and I want to go to him. Let me jump down." She fought so viciously that half a dozen men could scarcely carry her away. Mrs. Joseph Holmes, whose son, Joseph, is in the mine went Insane in the crowd ontside the ropes soon afterwards. Crying that her son was killed, she sank to the ground and went Into convulsions. She attacked any one who tried to soothe her, and finally the constabulary arrested her and were forced to carry her away. rSa Amartcan-Japans»t Afraamant Is birr*wl», 'wlthkr tttfaaxt f * r «mT •p«MsMta*«rsa«w'»«*»«' in the fir*'eajYan'd u*l# Didn't K i l l Mrs. Gunness. meat Which * n i w p t > i f c y America m o r a - t h # n ^ < « r u t h e guardian* Of (he "open door." > --», he prevailing opinion Is t h a t i t rsedes t h # Vrltlaf-Japaaeae a l - ee and constitutes a defensive a > lance ipldth^tUaitid Statea and i » P f j | $or fee iM-otaaiiau 4 t toatoal j P * t « N | b» the Chinese empire a n d also majpa* Jne two coutries the guardians of .UMI itoriai, U l f C f ' t l . ^ Cl^Wf- A*j£ ere are' M&dfffho tbMk p a t ia€% e t i r y Root i e s M tha « | r i * e m * t a ootb/oJb d S t f t l i c a t a w m a t h i v e arisen since the advent of the Japanftse^ in Manchuria^ „, *—p C I p e members of the J a p a n e s e Hb- %ra| party take the agreeenfeltfto mean that it will be unnecessary for Jaj g.|rSedlU furtheY with T T e r ' n i W injion,.^w*ieh iBc'aoetrog ' W m dney. - .

CHAPTER VII.—Continued. ,One day, two days, and three, passed before Japan felt anxiety, or the world began its discussion as to the cause of the long delay. Then, when the fleet was more than a week overdue it became almost a certainty that some disaster had overtaken it, although from no section of the sea had there been a typhoon, reported or any* thing but excellent barometric conditions. Ten days passed in this same way, and on the last the report from Honolulu was Identical with that which had been made an all those previous: "Nothing in sight, and nothing arrived." Once more the world stood in expectancy, and vainly sought the solution for the latest enigma. Storms were eliminated; for no tempest could have wiped out such a magnificent body of ships so effectually as to leave none to bear the sad tidings to the nearest port. And then, as a full realization of what must have happened dawned upon the watching powers, a shudder of dread passed through them all. It waB plain that America had some new and terrific naval strength, some unheard of monster of the deep, that gave it the mastery of the seas. The evolution of submarines had been rapfd; but no one had knowledge of a craft that could steam such a distance as would have been necessary to Intercept the Japanese before they reached Honolulu, engage them and either destroy them completely or capture and convey them to an American port. It must have been total destruction. the world argued, because in case of capture great battle ships themselves would scarcely have been able to make the complete trip to a Pacific coast on the supply of coal they carried In their bunkers. Forced drafts required great expenditure of fuel, aad never at any time had there been any other Intention than of replenishing at Hawaii. It seemed impossible that a civilized nation should have chosen deliberately to exterminate its enemies by wholesale; and yet there was no other conclusion tenable. How terrific must have been that onslaught, coming up out of the waters of the sea, and how remorselessly executed! All losses of life in previous naval engagements sank into tnslgnlflcanoe when compared with this sudden and swift obliteration of a fleet of warships, transports and colliers. It would be nearly impossible to spare lives in such a battle, and it seemed a. certainty that the great steel moisters that had sailed away to easy conquest had become mere metal coffins for those who manned them, and were now resting somewhere oh th&Jloor of the heedless Pacific. U sneh was- the case, it was time the" United States ceased to exist as a nation, when peopled by Inhuman Monsters who calmly slew their adverwres' wh»t t*rr**ten&d. Japan was left' a helpless Ittito Is land in the sea, without ships to atsalT an enemy or to defend herself. saoru 6f p^f4a««;*^;jW;*e^}jB*0w rt'ttr such; asserted' tfa*t *afl< ile'possessed- such monsters 6f destruction as were evidently owned by the United States, She would bavfc scored - to: ww f. thom.. without notifying the Jf$ftl» wufld oj hep. power. It was a country of desolation. There was hardly a prominent .home fe^Jhpkrf-whrdhfcid doV contributed some member of its family to that splgagMt, navy which had. sailed so proudly-, away when early June was spreading Its flowers over the empire; now there were sobs of bereavement and woe. Across the ancient lands of the Pharaohs and up through the provinces of kings there swept a unanimous desire for ah explanation, It could come from only one source— this land of mystery which' had cut it^lfptf from all the world and stood silent, guarding Its secret, and suddenly frown ominous In its possibilities and -potentialities. Japan, hopeless and driven to extremities, appealed to her ally; Great Britain, for news. She showed no cowardly spirit by asking for aid of arms, and sought the assistance of her closest friend only that she might gain information. And Great Britain after due consideration responded. The premier of the dominion of Canada was asked in the interests of humanity to pass a communication to the soldiers on the border, asking for particulars of the destruction of the Japanese fleet. It was duly accepted and forwarded,, and back came the reply: ' "The United States has no report whatever to impart on the subject most vitally concerning his ^majesty's closest ally beyond the fact that the fleet which came to invade the Baciflc coast has been duly met,'properly vanquished and rendered incapable of further harm. The United States regrets that such action became necessary, and, with all due respect to Great Britain and such other powers as may be interested, wishes to express a disinclination to reply to any further communications of this or a similar nature." A slap in the face could have caused no greater consternation. The very terms of the reply showed insolence toward all the world, and demanded explanation. But who dared attempt it? What country was brave enough to* take the risk of meeting those terrible submarines, which were capable in a night of destroying .the most complete flotilla that ever had.been mobilized and sent away? If they onry knew what form these monsters took, what dire warning they1 gave as they advanced to the attack', there might be some means of dffsetting them of, perhaps repelling them. That Infor,-, mation, at any cost, must be garned. In its reaching out for anything which might suggest a way, the British ministry sent for Hillier. Guy, sleepless and worn from nights and days of anxiety, responded to the call, listlessly wondering what further information he could give as to the situation in America, or what if any duty could ho expected of him when the ministry itself was unable to accomplish anything. Ho was ushered into the room where on several previous occasions he had answered questions, and found there the same men who had met him on the day of his arrival in London; but there was a different attitude this time, however, and the officials before him seemed anxious and ill at ease. Plainly they were ready for any suggestion he might offer, or any measure that might seem possible. "Mr. Hillier," the lord of the admiralty began, "in all the timo you were in Washington did any rumors or stories or information reach you regarding some new form of submarine boat projected, or being experimented with, by the United States government?" At first, on impulse, he almost answered "No;" but before his lips could formulate the monosyllable there suddenly returned to his memory several conversations he had had with Dr. Roberts on this Riibject, and also he recollected that in one of these talks Norma had participated. There was no reason so far as he could think why he should conceal this knowledge. "Yes." he replied, "I do know something of the subject, but nothing tangible or of value. That which recurs to me is a conversation I had a few months ago with a scientific inventor who is a friend of mnle." "And his name, pray?" "Dr. WillJftui Roberts." Every nlan in the room gave a start and looked at his neighbor. The mention of the name seemed to have affected them, The prime minister1 repeated It as an exclamation. "That is the man," he said, "who is supposed to have gone insane, but who at one time, according to our secret reports, ws* working on some electrical discovery which might be utilised for an Improved aufcmarine. What do you "I know only this." he said, "that Dr. '«rjb€rt»'toW' nae* h#> believed it perfectly feasible so to use electricity through metal as to* change its strucfo- tetaWaf am' same 'UtoetesMA 'the] f¥eslst*ttoe, priskiJt^frieUpii, through; the water of a-Boat go constructed." -"WenTyoV a* Hh'ef timV o W ' k i n * submarines** '"'" ' !" , made totally, affective unless it gained a,ant^jj^*f*r.Jxs/aad anything known that it could traverrae..great distance* and maneuver with such rapidity that U wwrid be practically Imuran* {com attack.'. i;.i,':- .«•,.,!,), ' This then mast be the solution! and he read in the faces of his interrogators that they so accepted tt. There* was? a chorus of quest fons which be could not answer. He admitted bis lack of technical enlightenment, .and, al*o that he had no knowledge of what success had resulted from the experiments. Nothing of a valuable nature had been given to him at the time ot that or any other conversation! But he had made it certain in the minds Of his superiors that, though they' might not know the secret of the submarines . which had destroyed the Japanese fleet, they at least were aware what form of attack might be expected In case of war. In the nature of things it could afford no solace; but It might assist in obviating danger. ' He listened to the discussion' and felt that he should be gjven leave to go, now that he had told all he knew; but he was again brought to Jfce-tore by a question. "We understand you,are personally on very pleas*at and friendly terms with the president of the United States?" "Yes, I think so."

A special train breaking records for speed swung shrieking into the archway of the, Liverpool station, and HUUer, carrying nothing but light baggage, jumpeji out of his compartment and walked along the Queen's landing to the garhgplauk of the waiting Norfolk. Two men In sailor's uniform, who evidently had been posted for the purpose of keeping curious loungers away from the boa J, halted him, and were joined almost on the instant by two officers in waiting. Hillier recognized one as a personal friend.

"Yes, if I was in Washington; but It now seems i«accessible." The prime minister, to whom the others looked, reached over and picked up a paper knife with which he i#ly tapped on the table where lay a map. "Mr. Hillier," he said, "we are about to send you on a very Important journey. We have selected you because of your thorough familiarity with the United States, your perfect knowledge of the Canadian border line, and your ability to talk personally to the president if he can be reached. We are not at war with the United States, and do not believe that vessels sent by us would be attacked unless war was declared. In the Interests of the national dignity, however, we are compelled to make some kind of demon stration of strength off the American coast—this for the reassurance of our own people in Canada, if for no other purpose. We are going to send our most, powerful fleet into Canadian waters, where it will be stationed until this war is at an end. You recognize the danger?" Hillier sat thoughtfully for a moment and then said: "Yes, I think i do. You are afraid that if a great fleet was sent toward Canada it might be misinterpreted by the UnirM States as a warlike move- against her; there might be accidents; and then our vessels would disappear as completely as did those of Japan." "You are right," the minister as sented. and his companions nodded in approval. "Now, under those circumstances it la necessary for us to get word through, without any chance oi miscarriage whatever, fully and clearly explaining to the -United States that this demonstration Is for the reassurance of Canada; ihat it has no intention of interfering with American affairs, and requesting that measures be taken to prevent its being attacked under misapprehension, ft that message dW miscarry or was delayed In its delivery to one sufficiently high in authority, the results might be fatal." sluXCishlv *" t n l a <*°untry fc* years and to a rrtrular prescription, ^ ^ It to composed of the beat toolca known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

T h e following are e x t r a c t s from a lengthy letter from O. W. Rowland of P a w Paw, Circuit Court Commissioner of V a n B u r e n county, u n d e r d a t e of Nov. 16. in which Mr. Rowland deals with each p a r t of t h e Herald article sent him. .'Replying to your letter of recent date, permit me to say that it would scarcely be possible to crowd more errors into the same space than are to be found in the article sent me, clipped from the Herald. 'I procured a written statement, signed by nearly every business man in Paw Paw and a similur statement from the businessmen of South Haven, heartily endorsing the law. The law is approved by every ceunty officer and by the ex-county officials by toynship and city officials over tbeir own signatures compiled with a statement that they would consider it a public calamity to be compelled to return to the era of the open saloon. 'If Mr. Herald man should rake Van Buren county with a fine tooth comb he would find no young men "who have been ruined by whisky in the hands of harlots." The statement that in this county there are "blind jugs that produce a larger number of victims known as confirmed drunkaids than all the saloons Van Buren county ever had" has absolutely no basis upon which to rest. 'The People of VanBuren county put the law in force in the spring of 1890 and h u n d r e d a n d twe n t y n i n e .

It has strangled every "blind pig" and throttled every "blind tiger." Nothing of the kind exists in the county, It has effectually plugged every "hole in the wall" and it has made dishonest drug stores men wary and cautious and materially lessened ffceir sales. Two such men are now doing time in the countv jail. It has vastly promoted morality and good order and lessened wickedness and crime. The law is not perfect and it di.es not wholly eradicate the sale of intoxicating . . i li'iuors.

He was converted in Oberln, Ohio, at the age of twelve years under the ministry ot Rev. Chas. G. Finney dnring the great revival of 1857. In 1864 he removed to Morenci, Mich., where his father became pastor of the Cong'l church. He spent two years in study at Olivet college, Mich., after which he attended Oberlin College and Seminary finishing his work there in 1872. In the month of April 1872, he accepted a call to the Cong'l church at Hartland. Oct, 28 of the same year he was married to Miss Emma P. Mercer, daughter of deacon C. H. and Mrs. Catherine Mercer of Hartland. In his wife he found a devoted helpmate in all de partments of church life. He was ordained to the christian ministry March 4th, 1874, and served as pastor in the churches of Goodrich, Ransom, Napoleon, Pinckney and Addison in Michigan; also the churches at North Am herst, Chatham and New London in Ohio. While pastor at New London he lost, his sight and was obliged to re. hnqnish his chosen and much loved work of the christian ministry. He resigned his pa torate in the fall ot 1893 and came to his home in Pinckney where he lived for thirteen years then becoming unable to attend to business, through physical disability, he retired to the home farm of his de voted wife at Hartland where he be gan his ministry and there also closed his useful life of twenty five years of active ministry. The other ten years he scattered seed by the way side as opportunity came to him. He was an honored minister of God, a faithful husband, friend and brother—to know hij) was to love him. For thirty years he has been my personal friend and brother minister, and I hope to meet him in that land that is fairer than day. REV. W. C.

"What kind of mirages do you have down here,"aeked the gentleman from Haebachusette, "those that elevate objects or those that show objech* hav lug no existence?" "Waai, I reckon you'd call 'em elevators." "I've seen mlragee on Lake Michigan," said the Chicago man, "but I never knew whether they were the eastern shore elevated or the western shore reflected." "There ain't uo reflection down here," remarked the rancher. "What yon see you see. I saw someplu oncet that changed the hull course of my life. It wan't no reflection, you bet yer life." "How was that?" asked the Massachusetts man. '"Twas this a-way: When I war a young man 1 worked at cow punchin' for a man as lived on a ridge that looked over a like ridge fifteen mile away. The river run between each ridge midway, and the ground on each side the river war as like as two peas. Tanner lived on the east ridge—he war the man I worked for—and fifteen miles away on the other ridge his brother-in-law, Brant, had built a house after the same plans. The same architect had planned 'em both, and lumber had been sawed for the two of 'em at oncet. Each stood in the center of a big ranch. "Tanner had a daughter, Eunice, that tnk a shine to me. I war an innocent young feller In them dajrs and hadn't no notion o* hookin' op with any one and tried to keep her off my •cent, but she follered me like a bloodhound, and somehow, though I could git rid o* most things, I couldn't git rid o* her. Whenever I'd try it she'd set down beside me kind o' lovin' like, and that 'd be the end o' my tryin' to shake her. "Waal, at last she hived me, and the fust thing I knowed I had gone to the ole man and axed for his gal. He was wlllin', and so we was engaged, as they say in the towns. Eunice oncet bavin' lassoed me gimme a good deal o* rope, jlst as though we was married and I couldn't git away nohow. "What made It hard on me was that I wanted another gal. That gal war Sally Brant, Eunice's cousin, Sally war a quiet little thing and didn't run after nobody. I couldn't see very much of her 'cause Eunice regarded me as her property and wouldn't let me off erenln's to ride over to the Brant ranch, and daytimes I war lookln' after the cattle, "One niornin' I found myself lost. There had been a heavy fog all night, and Instead of takln' my bearln's before It settled and goin* to sleep whar I war I tried to pull through i t But •uddent, about 10 o'clock in the mornln*, the fog lifted and I found myself a mile from the Brant ranch house. Thlnkin' It would be a good chance to go and toll Sally Brant that I war goin' to be married, 1 rode over. Sally was on the front veranda kulttin' socks. I j'lned her and as soon as 1 could git up spunk told her that I war settled to be 'broke' by Eunice Tanner. She didn't say a word; she jlst bent down, and I could see that she war cryin'. "Of course thar war Jlst one thing to do. I set down on the bench beside her, put my arms around her, and"— "Kissed her?" asked the Chicago man. "Kissed her? No; 1 war hon'able. I war engaged." "Well, go on." "We war settln* facin' the valley, and suddent I lifted my eyes and thar before me and lookln' hardly a stone's throw away war the Tanner ranch house. And thar on the varanda sat a feller and a gal In each other's arms. Of course I don't mean to say that I could recognize people fifteen miles away, but I knowed the couple must *a* been Eunice and some feller. Although I would like to git rid of Eunice, it made me mad to see her In another feller's anna. I jumps up and. drawln* my shootta' Iron, plugs away at the man. What did he do but the same to me. "I felt kind o' foolish as soon as rt war over, thinkln' my weepon would carry so far, and I net down agin. The feller must 'a' felt aa I did, 'cause be set down ag'ln, to* by bti gai. Jnat aa I did by mine. We taoatd oar hacks to 'em bat we didn't Hke their looktm' eren at our backs, a» we went tain tbe , 1 never t&ought o' that."

Suggestions for remodeling a gown: Perhaps you have a long-plaited skirt left from last year with some odd* pieces of the material which was nol used. Rip up the skirt and, after sponging and pressing, cut out as economically as possible one of the new mounted skirts. With the pieces left from the skirt, which will be not a few if you use a narrow skirt pattern, you can fashion the parts of this bodice which should match the skirt, then with the aid of a messaline girdle in self-tone, messaline bands, a little soutache braid and net of all-over lace, you can evolve a matching- blouee so harmonious that the costume ]«omptete will blmulate one of tha v new one-piece gowns.

The best test whether it is beneficial or harmful is whether one is in a glow afterwards or feels creepy for several hours. The shock is not good for anyono with a weak heart, and no one who is not well should use a shower except by the advice of a physician. As u rule, the best time for a cold shower is on rising in the morning; the system is strongest then. Do not stay under the shower too long, a minute is quite long enough, unless one has exceptional strength. It is well to prepare for the cold shower by dashing cold water en you first or by taking a tepid shower and gradually getting it colder. Never take a cold shower when chilly. The cold feeling is a sign that your physical condition is not up to the mark. Follow « shoWer by hard rubbing and by a few physical exercises. Some women go back to bed for five minutes after the bath before dressing. The rest overcomes any shock from the cold water. Do not stoop forward unduly in taking a shower. It is not good for the spine to receive tho first shock of cold at. the base of the brain or between the shoulders. OLD GOLD AS COLOR SCHEME.

Is to Be Much Affected for Both Hats and Costumes. Women are in for a season of old gold as the primal color scheme for costumes. It will not be confined to indoor wear, but will be flaunted at every hour on the street. Tt is an unwise choice for the woman with a limited purse who can only afford one good-looking coat suit, but the woman who has more than one and can discard it when the season Is over is going in for an old-gold costume.

The tilt to Mias Carol's chin was even more accentuated than before. "It's an insult to a girl to be kept waiting an hour for a man who does not intend to come, and it is especially humiliating when she has asked him to go with her. instead of him asking her. It hurts her pride, and I should think If a man had the least bit. of consideration he would be careful not to let any girl he cared for get into that position."

"You did, sir. And—and I guess It's true. I was horrid, Larry." The tears were welling over now unrestrained. Larry somehow found himself very close to her. "No, you weren't, dear girl. You didn't understand, and I don't think I explained it very well. But you know I wouldn't slight you for anything in the world. - Don't you, Carol?" "I—guess—so." The voice came faint and muffled from his coat "And you know that Miss Sloan and I are always rowing, though, of course, we are friendly enough. Our points of view are as divergent as possible.

Tfee people of England were much <Uvtded tn opinion a s to the advisa- 'bUHy ol the government's move when it became public. A strong conservative element feared the danger of Great Britain being involved in the war through this action, while the lib* era! partisans and jingoes asserted that it was the only method ef upholding the country's dignity, demonstrating to America that England would do her best, and at the same time assuring panada that the mother country Intended to support her in,case of attack along her border line. That Britannia still ruled the waves was generally doubted; for if th.e Ameri^ cans vjaaid l a tbeJ^. paaaaaa^w means of so easily overcoming a fleet as important- ¾¾ elmt which Japan bad Josh tbere^ waa almost a certainty that she could conquer any adversary sent agtft&st her on the water. It waa no lpngef a question of warfare on land; for all the transports in the world would be powerless against such submarines as the nations now conceded the United States must posse**. Before sailing, the fleet commanderB had been called into a council and given po*4t!v« instructions that they were not to permit themselves to be drawn into action in any event before reaching Canada. On their arrival they were at once to co-operate with the dominion government-in whatever way seemed adviaable at that time, and follow such orders as might be given from London. The clearance, however, unlike the sailing of that fleet from Japan, was not accompanied by any gala demonstration. It wa« rather with dire misgivings that the public witnessed this departure, which were to a certain extent shared In by those aboard the vessels; and it was fully realised that tt^e flower of England's navy might •ever return from its voyage into an tw known danger. The conservative press lent a funereal attitude to the occasion in its treatment of th*-situation, one journal declaring that "England ia sending to magnificent martyrdom metii who had hotter have been retained at home for itaetr country's good." Another paper characterised it aa a "daeless sacrifice," Thia became the general pub tjlc opinion wtthm a few days, as re <poftB* front Canada continued gloomy and showed no prospect of a rift with ^ndbe etouds." ."•".. •fhe music halls; always an Jndex to the popular view, found.their greatear hits in tttpicAl songawhfeh were a w a o o n r a a t t i__._ # | t r o r e that scarce* $ f greater had one ' submarines appeared off it* ahorea and begun bomth*> aea**«* <itjr.i - it waa tike an int*matton-o£ dteae>r, doMverod in advance of m o r e ^ r r i ^ l e news.

Treinload after tralnload of excursionists, farmers within a day's drive, and pedestrians from near by swarmed to Southampton, forming an excited and almost uncontrollable gathering. Tugboats hastened out to meet the incoming steamer, which carried the only living link between reality and the terrible unknown, and long lines of constables strove to hold back the excited crowd, the noise of whoae muttering* filled the air with an omlnoua drone. Between these ranks of blue-clad men there came four surgeons, carrying on a stretcher a wreck of humanity who laughed insanely and rolled his head from side to side.

The strangest part tn all the incident of picking up the castaway was that the captain of t h e Esperanta. seeking other survivors, had cruised for hours in the vicinity; but had found no other sign of wreckage or of humanity.

It was generally admitted in England that Canada was now in a helpless position and completely at the mercy of a well-drilled and wellequipped army along her borders, which was undoubtedly within constant reach of supplies and re-enforcements. The futility of any attempt either to relieve or to aid her by sending more men across the Atlantic, now absolutely under the control of the Americans, was obvious. It began to appear to the British government that the United States was deliberate ly planning to take the dominion of Canada whenever she deemed the time opportune. That she could now do so j at her own convenience was unquestioned. An exasperating condition was ihc attitude of the Canadians themselves. who, as far as appearances went, were in a state of the utmost placidity. Indeed, the farmers along the border were prosperous and thriving through the increased demand for their supplies, which the American quartermasters purchased liberally, and for which they invariably paid American gold. It actually seemed as If an era of good feeling was being established across the boundary. The loss of the fleet threatened a ruptnre for a brief time; but the province, now convinced of the hopelessness of taking an active side either way, showed an inclination to stand aloof and remain absolutely neutral. It was agreed between the officials of the dominion and those of Great Britain that Cinada could do nothing but endeavor as best she might to remain passive pending further developments. This- lack of partisanship proved anything but an assistance to H ill lev ; in his attempt to break through the j cordon, and it was this as much as anything else that hampered him fn his mission.

Tile net result was 'A surplus of f», 283,4116-1. The financial operations of the government during this period, based upon these differences between'Wee I pis ahd"'e*ppridf(ures. resulted In a net reduction of the Interestbearing debt nf the TJrjIted States from :017,141410 to, «87^,990, ...nqtwJUtlstandlng ' «h*t«here sad, seen two *ale*»of**»a?narna canal bonds amounting in ttie aggregate to 154,641,»»;" and an issue of three per cent, certificates of. indebtedness ui.Jer the act of June IS, JRftt. amounting to *Tg,4W,W0.- RofindlCg os/rattcna of tlie treasury department under the act of March H, 1900, resulted In Ihe conversion into two per cent, consols of 19¾) of ,1200,309,400 bonds bearing higher mtcs of interest. A decrease of $S.6S7.fl56 in the annual interest charge resulted from these operations. In short, durint; the seven ycfirs and thsce months them has hoen »- ,net surplus of nearly ons hundred millions af receipts over expenditures, a reduction of the intereHt-nearinK il#)t by ninety millions, in spite of the extraordinary expense of the Panann canal, and a saving nf nearly nine millions on the annual • interest charge. T h e message reiterates the wellknown rlews of the' president that the -4SOTrt.foI of great corporations, especially the railroads of the country, should be vested in the national government.

Urgent Need af Reform. Our present system, or rather no system, works1 dreadful wrong;, and Is of benefit to only one class of people—the lawyers. When a workman is injured what he needs is not an expensive and doubtful lawault, but the certainty of relief, through immediate administrative action. No academic » theory about "freedom of contract" on "constitutional liberty to contract" should be ^pormitted to Interfere,,with this and similar movements. I renew m y ' recommendation that therprlnciptev of the eight-hour day should as rapidly and as far as practicable; be^Mtcn.cuVd to th,e en^re work being carried on by the government; the present law should be amended'to emhraoe ' contracts* on those public wprks which the present 1 warding of the act seems to exclude. I renew my recommendation made in a previous message that haU-thelldaya be granted during summer to all wageworkers in atoverninent employ . -Jwdgea Too Poorly Paid. Coupled with a eulogy of the Judiciary of the nation the president urges that, beginning with the supreme court, the judges should have their salaries doubled. As was to he expected, the attitude assumed by certain labor leaders during the rebent election comes in for bitter criticism. The president asserts that demands made oh congress for legislation were unjust1 aind impractical and could but work-harm to the cause of labor. While declaring that our judicial system Is sound and effective at core, the pfesfdent says: There are certain decisions by various courts which have been exceedingly detrimental So the rights of wage^workers. This Is true of all decisions that deefde that men are, by the constitution, "guaranteed their liber.ty" to contract to enter a dangerous tfccupdtiori, or to work an iirrd>srrubhe or* improper" number of hours, or to work In unhealthy surroundings; and' therefore cannot recover damages v hen maimed In that occupation, nnd cannot he, forbidden to work what the r^^^Juirf»a*^ides. Is an. excessive num- •b^or'hotrrsT o r W W r r y on the work under conditions which the legislature decides to be unhealthy. There Is also. I think, ground for thri belief that substantial Injustice is often suffered by employes In consequence of the custom of courts Issuing temporary injunctions without notice to them. Bnd punishing them for contempt of court in Instances where, as a matter of fact, they have no knowledge of any proceedings. Organized labor is chafing under the unjust restraint which comes from repeated resort to this plan of procedure. Injunction Must Remain. The power of injunction Is a great equitable remedy, which should on no account be destroyed. But safeguards should be erected against its abuse. In substance, provision should he made that no injunction or temporary restraining order ttsve otherwise than on notice, except where Irreparable injury would otherwise result; and In such case A hearing on the merits of the order phould he had within ft short fixed period, and. If not then" continued after hearing, it should forthwith lapse. Decisions should be rendered Immediately, and the chance of delay minimized In every way. Moreover. I believe that tTxe procedure should he sharply defined, and the Judge required minutely to state the particulars both of his action and of his reasons therefor, so that the congress can if it dcstfVs examine and Investigate the same. Harm Worked by Law.; Discussing measures necessary for the proper control of giant corporations operating in defiance of law, the president says: Real damage has been done by the m*«ffo» atnf csnfttetrnsrtntcrsf etatlons oi the interstate commerce law. Control over thaJCaat.corporations doing' Interstate business can be effective only if It is vested with futl power In an administrative department, a braneh of the federal executive, earrying out a federal law: it can never be effective If a divided responsibility Is left in both the states an-f the nation; it can nev%r be effective i f left In the hands of the courts to be decided by lawsuits. , The 'courts hold a ptace of»pscuSar and deserved sanctity undet4 our farm of government. Respect *fbr the law is essential to the permanence of our Institutions; aad respect for the law Is largely conditioned irpfnj respect tor the courts* Tt is an offense against the republic to sap anything which can weaken rpect. save for the gravest reason the most carefully guarded manner. In no oil.er nation in the world do the courts Avii-ld ^ur,h vast and far-reaching power as in the XTnitod States. All that Is necesssry. In that the .courts as a whole should' exercise this power with the farsighted wisdom already shown by those ^Judges who. scaoi 4h« future whist they ac; in the present. ; ». lanifea L«trum*wtamy- of the postal • savings bunks. . . Parcel Peat The much-discussed advisability of the establishment of a parcel post service la thus dealt with; .., In my JaAt annual .message I fpmmendod the postmaster-general's recommendation for an extension of the parcel post on the rural routes. The k-piabilsjhment of a local parcel post on narul routes, would be to the mutual benefit of the farmer and the country storekeeper, and it Is desirable that the routes, serving more than 15.000.000 people, should be utilised to the fullest practicable extent ' Education. Dealing with the important subject of education, the president says: ' With tfie'limited u e a n s hitherto provided, the bureau of e dOcatton has rendered efficient service, but the congress has, neglected to adequately supply the bureau with means to meet the educational growth of the country. I earnestly* recommend that this un* fortunate tataxia,,of ..affairs, as regard* the national educational office be remedied by adequate appropriations. This recommendation Is urged by the representatives of our common schools and great state universities and the leading educators, who alt unite In requesting favorable consideration and action by the congress upon this subject. T h e president point* out the necessity, of better organization of the various bureaus responsible for the public health*, and urges the placing of all soldiers' homes under the jurisdiction of the war department, statehood. On, the question of statehood the ^ president, f says:. I advocate the immediate admission of New Mexico and Arixona as states.

In case o f war It will be of the utmost importance to have a - large number of trained officers to us^, tor turning raw levies into good troops. The Army. As regards the army I cal] attention to the fact tl\at while our junior officers and enlisted men stand very high, the present system of promotion by seniority results in bringing; into t h e higher grades many men of mediocre capacity who have but a short time to serve. No man should regard it m» his vested right to rise to the highest rank in the army any more than in. any other profession. It is a curious and by no means creditable fact that there should be so often u failure on the part of ,tpe publtdjand Its representatives^ te> :uaderatgpdV fho f*3&i inaqd, from the standpoint of the service and the nation, of refusing- to promote respectable, elderly Incompetents. The higher places should be given to the most deserving men without regard to seniority; at least seniority should be treated as only one consideration. In the stress of modern industrial competition no business firm could auec&ed if those responsible for Its management were cbos*n Hinaply on the ground that they were the oldest people in its employment; yet this is the course advocated as regards the army,- and required by law for all grades except those of Rcneral officer. As a. matter of fact all of the b^st 'officers in the highest ranks of tho a r m y are those who have attained their present position wholly or in part by a process of selection. ' Tho scope of retiring boards should alder genonahunfitness,to oommand for any .cause* In order to secure a far more fjgid, enforcement than at present in lie elimination of officers1 for mental, physical o»> ee<mp^rankes)tal disabilities. But tbU.plan J s. recommended only if the congress does not sso fit to provide what Tn my jtidgrnent ts far better, that fs. for selection t n promotion, and for elimination for age. Officers who fa^l to attain a certain rank by a cershould be retired—for Ina man- should' not attain field rank by the time he Is 45 he should of course bet placed on the retired list. Oeneral officers should be selected as at present, and one-third of the other promotion* should be made by selection, the selection to be made by the president or secretary of \yar from a list of at least two candi- MLatea proposed .tor eaQhi vacancy by a board ^ f officers" fronf.\fia arm of t'hj service from which the promotion Is to be made. A bill Is now before the congress having for Its object to secure the promotion of officers to various grades nt reasonable ages through a process of selection, by boards of officers, of the least efficient for retirement with a percentage of their pay depending upon length of service. The bill, although not accomplishing all that should be done, is a long step in the right direction; and I earnestly recommend its passage, or that of a more completely effective measure. Japanese Exposition. The Japanese government has postponed until 1117 the date of the great international exposition, the action being taken s o aa to insure ample time In which to prepare to make the exposition all that it should be made. The American commissioners have visited Japan and the postponement will merely give ampler opportunity tor America to be represented at the exposition. Net since the first International exposition has there been one of greater Importance than this will be, marking, as it does, the fiftieth anniversary of the ascension to the throne of the emperor of Japan.

Meatless Diet Meeting with Shocks V EGETARIANISM is meeting with a -few shocks m Washington. These come after members of Washington society partake of the hospitality of Mrs. John Brooks Henderson, wife of a former senator from Missouri, at her vegetarian dinners at her home at Sixteenth street and Florida avenue. One society woman, a guest at the most recent dinner given By Mrs. Henderson, is at present confined to her bed. Dyspepsia was the doctor's verdict. Friends of the Henderson family say that the former United States senator is also Buffering froort the same trouble and Others say that Mrs. Henderson herself was somewhat indisposed from the same cause not long ago. Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinners recall that a couple of years ago the contents of the famous Henderson Wine cellar were poured into the" gut1 ter. Mrs. Henderson had put the ban on all fermented wines. Quantities of the famous old Navy sherry, for which the cellar was noted, were being augmented in the bottle-breaking process with, champagne, old port. Madeira, cordials, brandies and whiskies. Since then OBfy tmfermented grape juice, white and red, has graced the Henderson table, with all that goes wtth a vegetarian banquet. Meat is barred. The "piece de resistance" at a vegetarian dinner may be a succulent "roast" or "turkey." But its parts are not of the flesh, but of nuts. "Ices" in the course meal are merely cool concoctions, not «old. The. entree may be apple or banana fritters. Butter—that te, butter from the milk of the4ow, ftndrno place-. Nut butter Is imperative.

One of the most astonishing objects In the heavens, especially when photographed, Is the great nebula In the constellation Andromeda, which la visible as a misty speck to the naked aye. It has long puzzled astronomers, because while its structure—a series of vast rings surrounding a central mass —suggests a gaseous constitution, Its spectrum is contiguous, resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that It may be composed of stars con- , stltuting a universe external to ours. i ftecent studies of Its parallax, however, Indicate that it Is nearer to us than some of the well known stars, sad) as rapella, and Mr. J. FSlard Gore, the English astronomer, points out that If the Andromeda . nebula were assumed to be an external universe, having a diameter comparable with that of the Milky way, its mass would be forty million million million |lmes the mass of the sun.

FOGELSANG'S ODD WAY$. Srtmlnatloiv Now Oojria on to Find How and Where Funda Went That Made* a Near Wreck. • g,„'1 IL =S=? The Good*WiII Habit. A habit of holding a kindly attitude of mind toward everybody has a powerful influence upon the character. It lifts the mind above petty jealousies and meannesses; it encircles and enlarges the whole life. When we meet people, no matter if they are strangers, we feel a certain kinship with and frlendliaeiBtfor t&fent,Mf4we have formed the good-will habit. In other words, says the New York Weekly, the kindly habit, the goodwill habit, mgk«£ u* reel -iroreJ eyifcpathy for «rr«r^bodjr. Apd if we radiate this1 helpful, friendly feeling, others will reflect It back to us. On the other band, if we go through life with a cold, selfish mental attitude, caring only for our own, always looking for the main chance, only thinking of what will further our own Interest, our own comfbrt, totally Indifferent to others, "this attitude will, after a while, harden the feelingsl'a^d^tte^'!affeci1ons, and we shall become dry, pessimistic and uninteresting. The 8pringport State bank, now'to the hands of the state baiifc examiner, is on the rocks, but Just how' hard it will take some days to determine. It seems that Cashier Fogelsang got affairs badly tangled before the directors were aware of It. The bookKeeptag Is dtteer and the disappearance" of 'Fogelsang does- not give matters a good appearance. Certificates have been found since the closing of the bank several days ago in which the amount is different than the amd\ittt entered 111 the register for each of tfie same certificates. In response to a printed request farmers are "bringing in their Certificate*- to the bank so that a comparison can be made to ascertain whether tfce certificates had been entered by Fogelsang as paidin addition to hie banking dutlea, Fogelsang was administrator of two estates. One was (,he L. P. Novls estate, said to be worth about $26,000.- Mrich of it Is 'supposed to be in mortgagee and 4e«h. Novis wae elected vice-president when it was reorganized and died soon afterwards. Fogelsang gave a surety company bond of $5,000 as the administrator of this estate. The other estate is the Martin Austin, and is a farm estimated at $5,000. How his accounts with each of these estates stand is not known at the present time. As cashier of the bank he also was bonded for $5,000. More or less Spriugport people have felt that Mrs. Rpberts intended to bequeath practically her entire estate to Fogeliang, but now they are not so sure of it. The dealings of Young, the hay king, began back in the private bank. In a word, he would make a hay shipment, make a sight draft on the shipment, deposit the bill of lading in the bank and then check against it. Just how many of these bills of lading are still alive is one of the things the banking examiner is trying to ascertain. To do this will be a task of some days, as some of the shipments have gone as lar south as New Orleans and as far east as the Atlantic aeaboard. The c-miplaint against Fogelsang is signed by Director Crawford, and reciios that Nov. f> la«f the cashier with intoiit to defraud entered' on the bank's books as paid a certificate of deposit for $H>5 issued to John Walker, a youiift ft'ynier. when in fact it tad not been paid. Young, the hay king,,whenever the examiner tells him how much he owi»s the bank, will take care of the indebtedness. STATIC NBWS BRIEFS. •} u n **• Folly Is a fertile plant and bears fruit, for a long time. The French are discovering the truth of this in the demoralization of their navy. Mans, Gaston Thoirrson, the minister of mar ine, has resigned from the cabinet after the chamber of deputies condemned his department because of the expTosioh'dh' the Warship Iena, in 1307, when, more than a hundred officers and men were killed. - There have been radre than 30 explosions on French warships within the past, two years, and the officers ond men are said to be completely demoralized. The demoralization, however, did not beg*in under the administration of Mons. Thomson, but under that of his predecessor, who issued regulations which destroyed discipline on the ships. For the good of all, the commander of a battleship, even more than/the commander of q merchant vessel, must be an autocrat, and any policy which undermines his authority wetlref a th^efllciency of thfl ship's crew. < Miss Lennon Exonerated. The Duffy murder trial in Saginaw began in earnest with the opening statement of Prosecutor Purcell, who took about an hour to outline the case of the atate. Purcell declared the state would prove beyond a resonable doubt that Duffy carried Myrtle Lennon's month old baby from near the Pere Marquette railroad station on the night of August 5 and deliberately drowned it in the Saginaw river. Purceil asserted the evidence to be coriclwsive that Duffy met the girl he is accused of wronging the night she left the hospital with the infant for the preconceived purpose of murdering the child and that he obtained possession of it from her only by deceiving Miss Lennon with the story that he had secured a good home for it in Saginaw. Purcell further said that evidence as to the actual comhiis8i6n of the crime WBH circumstantial- but so strong as to prove absolutely a case of wilful murder. He absoLved Miss Lennon from all responsibility for the crime, .... .>- • ....... . , .,.,*,,. Liquor at the. State Fair. The State Association of Farmers' Clubs of Michigan, in annual session in Lansing, directed a committee to report a resolution asking the legislature to withhold any future appropriations for the aid of the state fair at Detroit, until the sale of liquor on the grounds is prohibited and other objectionable features are eliminated. In speaking in favor of the motion, T. J. Danlele, of St. Johns, said U was too bad that some broad-gauged fanner was not at the head of the fair. The committee on temperance reported favorably Rtate wide prohibition and commended the work of the Anti- Saloon league.

QS^ORN I§ A S?RQW MAN Cpngreeeman tend Wants to M«4aths Filipinos—Various Matters of Note Briefly Told. The last roar of the lato political battle over the governorship of Michl gan has hardly died away and the mat ter of a successor to Governor Waraei is already a theme of earnest thought, not among the politicians, but among the plain people, whose votes name the man. The name of Chase S. Osborn, of Sault Ste. Marie, is upper moat. Yet Mr. Osborn poaUively TOfuses to make a public statement upon his gubernatorial aspirations, it he has any. • But from close friends conies the statement that he will npt be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor two years hence, unless he Is assured that there is a general demand from the state that he enter the race. These friends are authority for the statement that Mr. • Osborn is fully cognisant of the honor of being executive of Micbigam, but that he will not assume the atti-E tude of pushing himself for the place. x j ^ & V l f f i K ^ N H H s ^ n ^ ^ H ^ l W^S^^^^K <^^^^^^^w^^^^t *i^B> ^^^W*^1 ^^^^^^^B&fl^^^^H :'9H>ttBM^MBT\ ^^ ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^H^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^I^ ^ H ' ^ I ^ ^ S S ^ B ^ B ^ B ^ s i fry ^¾.^BHI^^^^^^^^^^BP ^^^B ^^^^^^^^^^^^BB^^fccfj JHSKSHHHfefi M e ^ ^ ^^H Since the election Mr. Osborn has been flooded with liters from every section of the state pledging his support and .urging him to. announce his candidacy. In addition, several ot the state leaders have sought him out personally to sound him on the situation. He has given all the same answer. He must be assured in his own mind that there is a demand from the voters of the state (not from the politicians alone) for him to enter the race, or,,he will not allow the use of his name. This is taken' tq mean that nothing definite will be known of Mt. Osbdm's tfstifs for some months to come. Mr. Loud and the Filipinos. Rep. Loud, of Michigan, wants to be transferred from the house committee on education to the committee on insulSr affairs. It is probable that if Mr. Cannon can see his way clear the An Sable man Will get what he wfcnts. .Mr* I«oud be-lievea that, this govern* meht is-nqt doing all it should for the little brown brother. The Filipino is now taxed for the support of his schools, but Mr.. Loud points out that a'great many "children urider'a certain age have been compelled to Stop gdfirg tx> school because there'is not money enough to go around.

CHAPTER IX. Barred by Bayonets. Rested by his sea voyage, and glowing with a determination to win hie way across the border, but with no definite idea as to what method he should pursue, Guy Hillier landed in Montreal. His first effort was to gain, what details he could as to the nature of the embargo which had been placed on travelers between the two coun tries, after which he lost no time in personally studying the habits of the border' ommpe. Long residence in America had lessened the broadness of, his i ' s , and with a Utile practice his It's were ..almost those of the average New Yorker. •, The meager information he succeeded In gathering was not altogether trustworthy, as he was soon to learn. He had been told that certain Americans, In Canada at the time the line of blue was drawn, were per mitted to pass, and thus regain their homes, and cm this he based his first sally. There was no trouble whatever in gaining the encampments nor in Interviewing the officers in command of that section of the defense. A smart-appearing sentry passed him over to the guardianship of a soldier off duty, who conducted him to one of the regulation tents which dotted the hillside back of the line. On the orderly's presenting his card, a voice from within hailed: "Come in!" and he entered the little house of canvas to find'three dftVfera engaged in some game of cards which he did not understand. vWhat can I do for you?" the commander Inquired, rising from his camp stool and still holding the visitor's oard inhia hand. "1 am anxious to croea the line/* Hi! Her replied. The officer laughed and shook his head. "I'm sorry, sir, hut We?have had as high as 100 applications of this nature intone day, and my orders forbid my 'acceding to any such request." "But you pais Americans, do ycu n o t r Again the. officer -smiled- tolerantly, replying with good nature: "Not under conditions like these. We have no choice In the matter. If you are an American, I thoroughly appreciate your anxiety to go home; but I cannot herp you." It began to look leas easy. . "Is there no way at all?" asked Hillier. "My dear sir," the officer answered, "the prophet Moses leading his band across the Red sea had an easier trip than you could make through our lines:" For a moment the courier lost pa tience, and then as a last resort he decided to. make a clean breast of his errand. "Colonel," ke said. MI am not an American; I am the secretary of the Britten embassy in Washington— a* ***-*? to t£e,Uaa of this war. "Mr. least 20 I oome as a special messenger from untry. bearing Important „ dltr, patch**, which I am to deliver only into tfW-haud#-or-hJn excellency, tao v The- eofcmsi tdrned^ttffcne'atte and threw down the playing cards which Oie bad been holding before making any reply. His - companions looked highly Interested; but;their faces gave no hope. Hillier, there have been at men before tie with similar important messages, many of whom have'come direct from other foreign powers. The flrat of these I toast from them and sent forward by- special couriers of my own. In each case I was given a reprimand. Come here," he ttld, and preceded Hillier out into the. open, where a bulled.,board was nailed against a tree,. In the very center of a collection of orders pasted thereon was one which, read: "General Order No. .37.007: Order No. 16,004, which was delivered, to »11 officers, bulletined and read to «11 men, permit* of no modification whatever. It read: 'No man shall pass through the lines, either in or out, and under no circumstances shall any communication be passed, either in or out, save on the written permit duly sealed and signed by the president of the United States/" "Ur that emphatic enough?" .be asked, turning to Hillier. who reluctantly admitted that it allowed df no misinterpretation. "But," Bald the latter half Jokingly, "suppose I make a run for it?" "In that caae, yir. Hillier,"' the officer a n § w e | f W ^ * ^ s t v ' ' m y m e n would unh^s^Uh#yrNtr#ryou full of hdles, and I ssohld.he sorry to see a man whoa}, I" taka/^a bel,agentleman make such ao'a^enrrjt: This may look like play;' /but underneath gloved hands aloag> this'border are the claws of war.

He had seen enough during the day to be convinced that under ordinary circumstances it would be impossible to pass the sentries, whose beats were exceptionally short, and who formed almost a continuous line a's far as he had beeji, able to observe. His in- .quirles had elicited the information that somewhere in the vicinity a small river flowed between the two countries, and he purposed using this tributary of the St. Lawrence as a means to gain the other country. His plan was rendered more tenable because the moon, being in the full, favored him. The night itself seemed most propitious, as from the west a dark bank of clouds was slowly coming forward, promising to lend obscurity at a time when it should be most needed. Cautiously he proceeded along the river bank, gaining a position in as close proximity to the moving aeatriey as be dared, then slipped off his clothing, secured it into a bundle, and awaited the moment of darkness. At the very instant when the edge of the clotfd began creeping across the moon he lowered himself quietly into the water and began swimming toward the boundary line. In his days at Oxford he had been an athlete of note,- and ia all his. later years had maintained excellent physical condition, and was thoroughly at home in tho water. He swam with a low stroke, catching breath from the corner of his mouth as he turned his face altfewiae, and exposing as little of himself to view as possible. The bundle of clothing lashed to his shoulders proved something of an Impediment, but not sufficient to stay his progress. The current caught him now and then, throwing him out of his course, and when he discovered this to be the case he was almost againBt. a bank. Thereafter he lifted his head at intervals, in order that he might remain in the oentex <of the stream. He surmised that he was nearing the line of sentries, and elevated his chin for another glance, when a sudden blinding flash of light itrtbte him in the eyes, causing him Instinctively to duck hta head. When he came up for air after swimming for" some distance under w>ur, the .light was still on him, tad.* a drawling voice hailed aim fro** the "Stranger, when yon get tired ol swimming ^bb mkfcbt eonre in. 1 guess you'd better, bacaaae there's four or five men <pp beyyofl ,m^t . might take you for %J 4^ma4^4>«vHp all pot> hunters." *, -.?-. t*. t » . « Ms, chins* -iraa last^ He^jspndered, why h§ ha£.a#tvtM*lM,,oJ! <s#areh lights, aad^**J*©*jthnf> nothing but the brill|ance of the night had pre-; vented their employ meat at an earlier hour* Fairly gritting his teeth in anger, he swam to the point.whepe thesoldier stood, and^crawAed, qut upon, tha beach, seating, bimaalf; until be conkl cnlly ' recover , from. his. >4aTort and regain his breath. A tall, lean man, whose color es»dalem* showed hhn to be from Mhuouri, stood above him, while farther back and a* a higher point the buzzing of the cal eluma -and the long reetlets ray of light showed the location or > this searcher of the night Beneath It he could dimly discern the tower-like structure on which it was mounted. "You'd better get your clothes on," suggested the sentry; "or, if you want to, I'll call one of the other boys and get him to lend you a few dry duds. Sorry we couldn't have used the lights a little sooner and saved you the trouble of swimming up this far and gettin' all wet; but the boss Is a little shy on carbons now, so he thought he'd make the moon work for an hour or two this evening." Hillier, discomfited, started to don his wet clothing; but the guard, Insisted in homely phrase that he'd be a heap sight better off and run no riak of catching his death of cold if he would just let one of the boys loan him some clothes for a little while, and to this he finally assented. This infinite politeness and good humor, coating inflexibility, was a little try ing.- "You seem to keep a pretty good watch along this border," he growled. "Yes, fair to middlin'," the sentry said, with a chuckle. "We've been expecting you all day long. In fact, 1 He Swam to the Point Where the Soldier Stood. suppose you're being expected from here clear through to Vancouver. You're the Englishman that's hanker ing to go to Washington." Hillier turned toward him in amazement What perfection of espionage was this? "For Heaven's sake, man!" he asked his captor in surprise, "how do you do it?" "Watch that streak of light for a minute," the sentry answered, and as it leveled its ray along the line he saw here and there field booths with double lines of wire entering and emerging from them. "One's telegraph and telephone, and the other's this freak thing that sbows men's photographs. Yes," he concluded, "your picture taken in five different positions haa been in there since you first tried to cross the line to-day, and anyway if you'd got past us fellows, you'd have been picked up before you got ve/y far int-> the Interior." Hillier sat stupefied. "Has anybody over really got across this line?" "Yea, three or four of them, here and there, mostly out west where *Ve hills is rougher; but they all got gathered in sooner or lator. One of 'em who tried it was a Jap, and the boys accidentally shot him. Another fellow was an Englishman, who made it over from Canada into Detroit, so I've heard." "What, happened to him?" Hillier asked, suspecting that this was the first bearer of the message who had preceded him. "They didn't want to turn him loose, because he knew too much; so they decided he was a vag. and run him in till the war is over." Hillier knew now what had been his predecessor's fate, but made no reply. His Informant after a pause continued: "There's been only one ac cldent besides that which happened to the Jap, and that was a poor devil that undertook to go over in one of those newfangled airships. He certainly got bis tire punctured all right, and came down mighty sudden." The soldier stopped for a moment and heaved a tag* sigh, and than concluded la a **I waa awfully sorry for, thlt fflUQWi Hft. Wasn't, no any nnr softer voice: thai fall nothing like that, but just a young newdblMi;ehap'doing the best be ftira anyis& lon to send guard of CtyrfMaay^ back with mm "ai honor." t • By this time MrUier1 had donned trie dry garments ttat had/tieaD provided, and stood awaiting the further instructions of his captor. "Well, what am I ip do?" he inquired, seeing that the •man'stood motionless. ''••'• "Ob, you can go back across the line, or it yoji want to one or.the beys will find a place for yon to bunk till morning. You see, you're kind of a distinguished guest. We all had orders to treat you nicely, and the colonel w 11)1. have a machine here to take you back, wherever yiju want> to go tomorrow."' ' V Baffled by vigilance and overcome by courtesy the secretary, after bidding his captor good-by, retired for the night to a camp cot in the quarters of a lieutenant of infantry. It was long be fore he succumbed to a Bleep of u4ter exhaustion. He waa awakened by a bugle call in the morning, and found his boat shaving himself before a small mirror auspeaded from the teat PoJe. i - . .' , . - "Good morning, Mr. Hillier." the officer said. "Not qvHe aa pleasant quarters aa the secretary of the British embassy is ; entitled to, and not many conveniences; but you're wel come to my razor it you'll wait a minute." , • ' ' Hillier sat up, rubbing his eyes. Nealty stretched out on a camp stool before him were his shabby clothes, Improved by washing, not only dry but pressed. He stared at them in surprise, while the officer laughingly continued: "Yes, we did the best we could for them; but I don't think you made a friend of my orderly, as he Bwears he has worked on them all night long, and has requested a day's leave on the strength of it." Thanking the officer for his hospitality, Hillier slowly garbed himself and stepped through the tent fly. Below him and stretching away as far as the eye could discern were graybrown embankments, one line within the other, and excavated with military precision. "Intrenchments," came a voice behind him, observing his curious inspection. "We have to keep the boys busy, and besides the government didn't want to take any chances. Those pits stretch across this continent now, and there won't be any trouble for a good many years to come for people to tell just where the border Is located. Like 'em?" he concluded, whimsically. "No. I can't say that I do," Hillier responded with equal good nature; "but they look business like." "Oh; they're the goods Bure enough," his informant continued; "but that isn't all. See that little mound over there?" and he pointed a bare brown arm over his. guest's shoulder. Hillier nodded assent and looked inquiringly at his companion. "Behind that there's a brace of Gatllng gun a. Got them too every little ways. Never had to fire 'em yet, and hope we never will. But you never can tell. Same work's been done along the Mexican border line; but it's easier to guard. This war certainly has educated a lot of fellows; so that when it's over there'll be plenty of men can show callouses that were never decorated with 'em before. This country's bottled up now as tight as if the Lord- Almighty had set a can over it," and he laughed at his own joke. (TO BE CONTINUED.) A KrQH WIND. FINI8HEO SERMON FOR HUBBY. Wife's Readiness; and Kloquence That Waa Altogether Unappreciated. "Speaking of wives' duties," said the Manayunk philosopher, "I once attended service at a Unitarian church in Brooklyn when the pastor's voice went back on him. Went back altogether. It did. He stood there before us in the pulpit silently opening and shutting his mouth like a fish. "His wife came quickly from her pew, and mounting into, the pulpit she waved her husband aside, took up the sermon where he had left off, finished it eloquently and afterward brought the rooming service -to a conclusion with prayer." "How Very helpful that was," said a listener. "Yet the husband didn't think so." said the philosopher. "He called It officious, was quite angry, said hie wife had been trying to ahow off. "The question is," the philosopher concluded, "can a wife in her helpful zeal go too far?" ; Giies-They ;have v ^ . ' b i i i w!^d» in Amr iky. * »Vf ' Brown*—Yek,'they tid".

Not Every Soil Is Suited to Breaking Ground. Before Winter. Much has been said through the columns of the Prairie Farmer about the conservation of moisture and fertility of the soil, writes a Rock county (Neb.) correspondent. Two things you have recommended and urged more than all others, namely, fall plowing and the preservation of the humus in the soil by the addition of stable manure. The methods used and urged are undoubtedly practical in a large part of the west; but in this particular section, where we have a light, sandy soil, a light rainfall, and are subject to prolonged windstorms, the question is more complicated, or rather has different complications. Seven out of every eight of the fields In this county would be ruined in three or four years if they were to be plowed in the fall and harrowed smooth and left exposed to the winter and early spring winds. I know of many old fields that will not grow enough weeds to cover them, and in many instances are adjoining fields that-have produced more grain and have been In cultivation for more years, that are atill producing from 20 to 30 bushels of com and in some cases as high as 40 bushels. 'The difference is all due to the fact that the one has been repeatedly left exposed to the sun and wind, while the other has been protected by the stubble; the'stalks or weeds, often through no forethought of the owner. I have seen pieces of good land plowed, planted to com, carefully cultivated, the crop gathered and the stock turned in to Work the stalks down, and as a result the wind has been busily carrying off the very cream of the soil on every windy day through the fall, winter and spring till planting time, when the operation would be repeated. With good wild hay at two to three dollars per ton, no one can afford to cut up his corn or pasture the frozen stalks. They are worth too much more as a protection to the precious soil. HOMI-MAOI ANVIL. xniM THEY HAD NO CHRISTMAS Ctean Often.—The hen house needs cleaning out frequently—about once a week; more frequently is better. Cleanliness and healthfulness go together. PALATABLE FODDER CORN. TheVe* is one place on the Pacific ocean where there is no Christmas. Travelers toward the orient who have about half way completed their journey and going to bed on the evening of/the twenty-fourth wake the next d4y on the morning of thfc twenty-sixtfc. The twenty>flfth—Christmas d a y - vanishes completely. It goes as though ft never existed, which is true. ^11 rrdveiers on the broad bosom of tne Pacific making westward trips are not thus cheated out of a holiday. Only those In ships which reach the osje hundred and eightieth degree of iJngitude on Christmas eve are robbed •of their Christmas. Those traveling in the opposite direction have two Christmas days- in succession. So father Time Is not altogether heartless in playing tricks on Santa Claus. An experienced navigator explains the mystery of the missing Christmas jbr wfts^hjound .travelers and the extra Fuletide for those bound east thus: "la Just about Ufe middle of the Pacific la the one hun4red*ad eightieth degree of Isaglcode, and when that imaginary ttte is reached'the west* ward Uaveaai drops one day out of_ his calendar for the year. That line" crosses the aattpodes or point on the eartha smrfaee which, is precisely opposite to Greenwich, Kng^, the place at which by common consent of all nations the coasting of time begins. At aooadar, whoa tfeesim todttectly overhead at Greenwich, at other points to the westward the time will be earlier by one hour for each 15 degrees of longftade, so that when 180 degcees ft reached it will be midnight "Twelve hours have thus been gained, aad the other 12 would be added if tha Josuaaj around the globe i were BoaiBsssBdL. 8o by universal agreement the twenty-fifth of December .would ha daapfaj by all navigators reaching the fatal line on the previous day. aad b-aialaia would be cheated oat of their Christmas at the only pmchr oa'tleV'earth's surface where such a tasag jgaassl happen." Prof Thomas Shaw Urg«* Proper Care of This Feed. ) : . . / J . I * .<co| J I The method of handling this product differs in various localities. The common method of harvesting puts it into shocks of moderate size as soon as cut, and then into stacks when the weather gets cool. Some growers adopt the following plan: They harvest in the usual way. The corn is iput up in small shocks. It Is then put. Mnto larger shocks, say two weeks later. This plan is followed by J. J. Furlong of Austin, Minn., who won first prixe on his farm in the Hill contest. The object is to preserve the brightness in the corn and to prevent it from weathering unduly. Mr. Purlong puts four shocks into one. Then as soon as the weather becomes cool, he puts the shocks into stacks with a diameter of about 15 feet In this way the fodder is well protected from the weather, so that when it is fed it Is brighter, sweeter and.more nutritious -thaa^If fed from,*the .shocks.

Taft of Michigan says that while other remedies have been used for San Jose scale, nothing has been found which equals the sulphur,- lime mixture in safety, cheapness and effectiveness, and besides it is worth all it costs as a fungicide, Although equal parts of lime and sulphur can be used, it is better to use £0 to 2¾ pounds of lime and 15 pounds, of sulphur for 50 gallons. These should be boiled for 45 minutes, care being taken to have the water ho^ befose the lime and sulphur are added, and to use only stone lime. The cooking can be done in iron kettles,, or by meana of steam in barrels or tanks. It answers very well if the lime and sulphur are cooked in.20 to 25 gallons of water and then diluted, using cold water if more convenient Although it, is necessary to have themixture slightly warm when applied, it need not be very hot. The best time for making the application is just before the buds open in the spring, and little or no harm will be done by spraying even alter the buds show a pink color. In fact, if applied at that time there will be no occasion for using Bordeaux mixture until after the fruit has set. Shrinkage of Hay in Stack. At the Arizona experiment station In 1906, 25,530 pounds of new mown hay. cut on five different dates from April 19 to November 9, remained in the stack until February 11, 1907, when the loss due to shrinkage amounted to 2,825 pounds, or 11 per cent. The following season the third crop of hay, amounting to 23 tons, 1,796 pounds, was stacked about July 20. By December 14 a shrinkage of five tons, 971 pounds, or 23 per cent., had talcen place. tage in areas with a heavy winter snowfAll. It gets the eorn where It is safe from injury from snow or sleet before these storms come. The objection may be raised that this means extra work. It docs, but it means extra value in the fodder also, and extra value that will usually far outweigh the extra labor incurred. The method of stacking such corn is greatly influenced by tb« character of the climate. Where winter comes early, the corn cannot in all Instances be pot into stacks wider than one length of sheaves. The lops and butts are reversed alternately to keep the long stack level. In other instances, where the corn is drier, two lengths of sheaves are admissible, overlapping at the tops, and in yet others wide, oblong or round stacks may be built without endangering the safety of the corn. Good corn fodder, especially if not coarse, is one of the best and most economical of fodders. Poor corn fodder is of but little account. A high up reputation baa been made with -the low-down wagon.

As to the crosseswelt, the most ignorant person know! what those mean in a letter. "We'n'sday" came at last, and, oi course, I went to the party.

Kathleen stopped to take breath after this long recital, and then went on: "So after mummie went downstairs, and auntie brought me a sweetie 'fore I fell 'sleep, 1 asked if it was true if you liked some little girl better'n me. Auntie said 'No,' arid then I asked her if she wasn't always kind to you.

At RESULT OF San Antonio, Tex.—As a reward for bringing a* badly wounded companion safely out of a wilderness, over a trail of 92 miles, William S. Crooks, a San Antonio man, win receive a medal of honorx rom the w*r department. This recommendafldn 'nas jdst~DW?fn; made by the cojtaniandlng^ officer of) the Twerityaecond infantry,'now serv-f ing in Alaska. Crooks, who was an employe formerly of tftC street railway ^company here, is a member of the Company F,1 and has risen to the rank of corporal. The man he saved from death is Private Joseph: Deneen. who was sent Horse and Rider Plunged Down 100 Feet. with Crooks to carry several delicatemet<* orological instruments to a signs) station iu the interior. Both were mounted when they started, bat when passing along a dangerous section of the tr,ail the ground gave way beneath Deneen's animal and both horse and rider plunged down..100. feet. Crooks, a witness of thp accident, at fijfst thought it unnecessary to see if his companion were dead, KO certain seemed his destruction. But, as a matter of duty and personal assurance, he decided to take a look at Deneen's body. When he found his companion alive and his horse dead he realized that they were in a plight. UndjBniayed, Crooks rigged; up a rough litter, attached it to his own horse, put Deneen in it, and started for their destiuation. For 92 miles, over a rough trail, and in terrible weather, the heroic corporal made his w«y on foot, with his injured companion, who at length became ^delirious. Part of the time «Crooks» himself went temporarily out of his head and when he finally was-seen by irleadja.rat the signal station he was. io ^ d e s - perate condition.

It might" be supposed(,that the heiii; of large towns would hasten evaporation and make their air moister, but recent observations abroad indicate the"' reverse. *n northern Germany cify air exceeds country air in relative* humidity by six to nine per cent., ac: cording fo season. This diminution in moisture la most marked in the eve ning and is more evident in summer than In winter, so that it can hardly be'due to fires or to the condensation by smoke or vapors. Tha primary \ cause would appear to be the general drainage of the ground in cities.'• In,! th* hot summer of 1904'country and) town moisture were practically equal, a result probably due to the excessive I drying-of the soil in both city and j country by the long drought. • • ' • - — Meant to Cheat the Does. | In a certain part of Scotland, according to Dean Ramsey, the shepherds used to'take their collies with ! them to nhurch.

When returning from a long cam' of passengers the cab passed a brewery wapjon at High* and Federal* streets. Bob got a few whiffs from the kegs and immediately became Ainmanageable. Brotherton says the horse had "blind staggers," but spectators believe Bob tried to jump into the beer wagon in his frantic desire to accumulate a real "jag:" ' The horse refused to be urged past the brewery wagon, and finally made a leap that demolished the cab against the heavy wheels of the wagon and spilled passengers and driver into the road. Then Bob dashed down High street, bumping other Carriages, until Patrolman Fitzpatrlck caught him. Brotherton took Bob home and ordered him put on a strict prohibition diet.
