Here is a part of his story: "We farmers need awakeing to the fact that we have unmistakably reached the period where we most think aod plan. I am one of the slow German farmers that had to be shown, and I am now giving my experience that others maj£ profit, for knowledge is more expensive now than ten years ago. **Tweiity-nioe years ago I began my farm career. I bad an old team and $50. Oar furniture was mostly -home-made-chairs', cup board and lounge made from dry .goods boxes, nttttly covered with ten-cent cretonne by my £iri wife. We rented eighty acres. Being a boy of good habits, I got all needled machinery and groceries of oar home merchants ou credit, until fall crops were sold, The first year ery, clothing for sickness or death,' we had to wait and send away for it, which Wasn't so pleasant. One by one our merchants moved to places where they were appreciated, and men of less energy moved in. Gradually our town has gone down;our business houses are 'lackey' in appearance, a number are empty, otir schools, churches and walks are going down, we have no band, no library nor ball team. There is no business done in the town, and, therefore, no taxes to keep up. Hotel is closed for lack of travel. Go down to the depot when the train pulls in and you will see the sequel in mail order packages. "Nine years ago my farm was worth 1195 an acre; to-day I'd have a hard matter to sell it at $167 an acre. It is "too far from a live town"—so every.farmer has said that wants to buy. He wants a place near schools and churches, where his children can have advantages. I have awakened to the fact that in helping to pull the town down, it has cost me $5,600 in nine years."

MEANS ABOUT $30,000,000 Consequences of the War Held by Commerce Commission to Give Ground for Raising Income Between East and West. Washington.—Dec. 21.—Increases In freight rates approximating 5 per cent on 123 railroads, comprising all the lines between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, were granted by the interstate commerce commission in a divided opinion, exempting on certain heavy commodities, which comprise a large bulk of the traffic. The increases will further apply to the railroads west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh, which were granted partial advances in the decision of last August,, which denied them altogether to the roads east of those points. It is estimated* the advanced rates will increase the annual income of the roads about $30,000,000. The commission made its decision upon the showing of the railroads that In addition to conditions from which they previously asked relief they now are confronted with an emergency because of the war in Europe. After further consideration the commission permits advances to be made also on cement, starch, brick, tile, clay and plaster. On these commodities no advances were permitted by the decision of August 1. The commission was divided on the question of granting the railroads' appeal. Commissioners Clements and Harlan dissented from the opinion of the majority. The decision, in part, was as follows: . "In view of the tendency toward a diminishing net operating income, as shown by the facts described, we are of the opinion that the net operating Income of the railroads in official classification territory, taken as a whole, is smaller than is demanded in the interests of the general public and the railroads, and it is our duty and our purpose to aid so far as we legally may, In the solution of the problem as to the course that the carriers may pursue to meet the situation." The commission did not acquiesce in the carriers' proposal of a general increase, as indicated in the tariff filed by them, but suggested various methods by which they might properly conserve their revenues. "For various reasons we shall except from the proposed increase the following rates: "1. Rail-lake-and-rail, lake-and-rail and rail-and-lake rates. It Is shown on the record that since the rail carriers acquired ownership and control of the lake lines successive Increases have been made in the rates via lake tending to lessen the differences between them and the all-rail rates. "2. Rates on bituminous coal and soke. Not long since these rates were investigated and maximum rates were prescribed by the commission. The key rateB upon. bituminous coal—the rate from the Pittsburgh district to Toungstown, and the rate on lake cargo coal to Ashtabula, have been fixed In the light of the various factors which entered into the transportation of such coal. The prevailing rates are remunerative, and the financial condition of the principal bituminous coal carriers is in marked contrast with that of many other carriers in Official classification territory. « "3. Rates on anthracite coal and Iron ore, largely because they are before us In review in other proceedings. "4. Rates held by unexpired orders of the commission."

BANK ROBBER IS SLAIN BY CINCINNATI POLICEMEN Held Up Two Instltotlons and Escaped With $13,000—Career Is Ended After Fierce Fight Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19.—A threehour career of crime by one man, which included the robbing of two Cincinnati banks, pistol shot accompaniments, the theft of two automobiles and a duel with policemen in which one officer and the robber were shot and fatally wounded, marked the most sensational day in Cincinnati's criminal history. The bandit is Frank .Hohl, whose home Is In Philadelphia. He was mortally wounded in a sensational street duel with Policeman Edward Knaull and died shortly after being taken to the city hospital. Knaull also was probably fatally wounded. Before the shooting Hohl had robbed the Eighth street branch of the Provident Savings bank, where he got away with more than seven thousand dollars, and the Liberty Savings bank, where he got more than#ix thousand dollars. What became of the loot remains a mystery. Knaull, a patrolman, and George Winter, cashier at the Liberty Savings bank, were slightly injured. Hohl first stole an automobile. He then drove to the branch bank on Eighth street shortly before eleven o'clock in the morning, "shot up" the place, and stole $7,600. Then he drove to the Liberty bank; again used his revolver, injuring the cashier; stole $5,610, and again escaped. U. 8. HA8 O N E MINE LAYER. Rear Admiral Fiske 8tartles House by Testimony. Washington, Dec. 19.—Despite the length of the American coast, the United States navy has only one ship equipped to lay submarine mines the house naval committee was told by Rear Admiral Ftske, a member of the general board of the navy. Admiral Fiske* said this nation shoura have more mine-laying ships than Germany on account of the longer coast line of the United States. Germany has five mine layers. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania strenuously objected to this portion of Admiral Flake's testimony. He said the admiral should not be asked to discuss such weaknesses in public. "If I were an unfriendly nation," said Butler, "that is exactly the kind of Information I would want We tell the world we have but one ship to lay mines." "The other nations know it anyway," interjected Representative Hobson. "What we want to do is to let the people of the United States know the truth or else we will never get any more ships." Admiral Flake waa permitted to answer Hobson's Question as to the equipment for faying mines. Champion Quolte Player Dead. London, Dec 17.—M. H.

X. Revelations by On* Whose Experience Jn the Buelnes Cover• a Range From Office Boy to General lanager HOW WE DIVI1D2E D THE MONEY. The furniture department in our catalogue was a great and immediate success. The "fake" illustrations caught the eye of the people and the orders poured in with every mall. We found out that whenever a customer ordered one article there were always a number of others included with the first And the orders were all cash, of course. I don't remember in those days that we ever had an inquiry for credit They seemed glad to get the goods by paying the cash and they seemed to get the money together In some manner. We were busy. We moved. away from the city where the business was started and now had a big establishment in one of the biggest of the eastern cities. Our tiny leaflet of a catalogue had increased to over fifty pages and there seemed to be no limit'to our prosperity. My work was now almost entirely connected with the catalogue. I wrote the descriptions, ordered the illustrations made by the wood engravers, superintended the printing and mailing departments and was up to my collar in work all of the time. Whenever anything of importance arose in connection with the business I was always called into a conference with Y and Z and we settled any question that arose. One day I was called in and the doors were shut and locked. There was something of importance to be discussed. "Look here, X, we are going to incorporate this business," said Y with a peculiar expression in his eyes. I had seen this expression before and I held myself on guard, in readiness to be very careful of my speech and action as I knew I had need of caution. It was like the "hands up" of a highwayman, that look was. "Yes, we are going to incorporate and we are going to take you In as one of the Incorporators," supplemented Z. I held my peace. Here was something worth listening to. Seeing that I asked no questions and was waiting for them to go ahead they looked at each other until finally Y said: "We are going to incorporate for one hundred thousand dollars." He continued to explain, with interpolations by Z and an occasional question by myself until it came about that they had decided to make me a present of one thousand dollars of the capital stock. Sounds generous, don't it? Well, it didn't to me. We had always discussed the possibility some day of Incorporation and it had always been held out to me that I was to have a good slice of the capital stock. So I took up the burden of the argument. I explained my viewpoint, recited the various services I had rendered, the departments I had introduced, the improvement in the business, etc., for all of which I claimed a good part of the credit It was due me, too, because I had developed Into the handy man about the shop for doing all of the hard work. We nearly fcad a row over it. I was determined that if they did not treat me with fairness, that I would withdraw and I knew where I could interest capital.if necessary to start another mall order business. In fact, I had the capital myself, for by this time I was drawing a salary of three thousand a year, about $60 per week, and I had saved a good share of my salary. I told them so with all frankness. It resulted in their giving me $15,000 of the capital stock and an Increase in salary to $5,000 a year. Y and Z took each $25,000, which took out $66,- 900 of the stock. It was decided to sell out the other $34,000 of stock at par if they had a buyer for cash and of this sum I was to have 15 per cent The deal was put through and I. found myself a comparatively rich man. Later, when the capitalisation was Increased to millions, I got my share of the increased valuation so that I have made pretty well out of it Of course in this matter I am giving fictitious figures. I will not give any more details now because it would be too easy for you to guess more* for it is ho part of my plan to tell you too much about the interior workings of bur organization. We nave figured it all out many times Just what becomes of your dollar that you send in to us with an order. About one-half of it goes for payment for the goods ordered. The rest is divided into dimes and cents for the payment of postage, printing, maintenance of plant, Insurance, office help, etcT, and last and bast sf all into dividends for the stockholders. The families of Y And Z are now looked upon aa merchant princes They have their yachts, their automo biles, their racing stables, their varl OUB establishments. They take their annual tours in various parts of the world and they live off the best the world can supply. And why? Because you have sent your dollars to the mail order house, established by their fathers many years ago Each year you send more dollars and the wealth piles up in the banks. All because of the clever wording/ of our catalogue descriptions. All because you will have the unreal Instead of the genuine, because you will- insist on dealing with the unknown instead of trading with your own home merchants. It is hum** nature for you to do this because the fule of life is to follow the will-o'-the-wisp blindly. Everybody does this, everybody Itries to grasp the indefinite Instead of grabbing the things at "bur very home door. Really It is laughable when you come to think of it. You sent your dollars to us because you fancied and hoped that the distance, which gives enchantment to the view, would send you something in the way of a great prize. Of course we did not. We spend our dollars like water In foreign lands while at home we do not find so much to interest us— rather we think that we do not. Year after year I have made the pilgrimage into practically all of the foreign lands. It has cost me, I do not care to say how many, thousands of dollars. Yet all this time I know and realize that we have better things to see, better things to ride in, better thiigs to eat, than any other land. To the crooked and thieving guides in Paris and London and Berlin we aie the "easy marks." We are the simpleminded. We are the deluded, the easily decoyed. The gilded palaces of revelry in Paris and Vienna, the unwholesome cabaret of St Petersburg and Brussels, the gambling hell of Monaco, the glittering vice halls of Cairo—are all maintained by American dollars. We support them. We make them rich. We have made champagne a necessity, we have made truffles and mushrooms both expensive and desirable- It's the history of life. Every creature shall prey upon the weaker. Ani we are the weaker who lavish our money on this sort of foolishness. * /t is really true tha; it is you, the people of the soil, the dwellers In the country, who are the wiser, After all. We seek dissipation and spend our energy and health as well as our dollars In looking for excitement. It is to you, in the country, that the nation looks in time of war. Whp not in peace also? The strength lies with you. The power Is within your grasp. All you must do is to exercise your rights of franchise and your good sense and judgment. Try It Get together among yourselves in you scattered communities. Hold meetings. Discuss among your solves what you ought to do to improve conditions. Talk it over—how to keep the money at home. Simply feather your own nests, that's all. Make your efforts count to your own advantage. Is It possible that the dissensions and petty jealousies that are popularly supposed to exist in all small communities cannot be done away with so that you can all combine for the good of the whole? What if an armed power were on the way down the county road to burn and sack your town and cut the throats of your women and children? What would you do? Would you sidestep a mass meeting, called to create a defense, because 8111 Jones or Hank Buncomb was going to be there? Would you sulk and refuse to have a thing to do with the defense plan Just because you had somu grievance, real or otherwise, against somebody who would be there? Not on your life. It would be a grand rally. It would be "Hello Bill* and "Hello Hank," "Gimme a lift with this pesky cannon." "Cut a buckle hole in this strap for a belt to hold up my sword." "Hand over the powder there, I want to fire a few bullets at the enemy." That's the spirit Unite for the common, interest with "trade at home" as your slogan. Sail and Rudder. The sails of boats are our emotions, the rudders are our characters. Oar sails are breathed upon by gentle zephyrs of affection, and inclination,^* hope, and love, and of hate. They are torn by sudden gusts of passion. We' are blown hither and yon by conflict of-quarreling winds, driven from our course by angry squalls. The only force by means of which we can counteract the effect of the winds and hold our course is the rudder of character. We know that we shall be blown upon all our lives by various influences; gepd and bad; that onr amotions— those white sails that respond to every breese—will be playod upon by every human appeal and desire.

The woman has disappeared but the judge i s found in a cataleptic state. CHAPTER I—Continued. fell was an awful and a terrifying <J/0* to little Miss Weeks and, scream- -•png loudly, she left her window and Iran into Judge Oetrander's presence, land, gazing wildly about, wormed her [way toward a heavily carved screen jguarding a distant .corner and cowered -down behind it. The gasping, struggling men, the tfrantic negro, were in the next room now—she could catch the sound of the latter's panting breath rising above the clamor of strange entreaties and excited cries wjth which the air was (full; then a quick, hoarse shout of r' Judge I Judge!" rose in the doorway, land she became conscious of the pree- -ence of a headlong, rushing force struck midway into silence as the frozen figure of his master flashed upon the negro's eyes—then—a growl of concentrated emotion, uttered almost In her ear, and the screen which had been her refuge was violently thrust away from before her and in its place she beheld a terrible being standing over her, in whose eyes, dilating under this fresh surprise, she beheld her doom, even while recognizing that If she must suffer it would be simply as an obstacle to some goal at her back which be must reach—now—before he fell in his blood and died. What was this goal? As she felt herself lifted, nay, almost hurled aside, she turned to see and found It to be a door before which the devoted Bela had now thrown himself, guarding it with every inch of his powerful but rapidly sinking body, and chattering defiance with his bloodless, quivering lips—a figure terrible in anger, sublime in purpose, and piteous in its failing energies.- "Back! all of you!" he cried, and «topped, clutching at the door casing ion either side to hold himself erect. "You cannot dome in here. This is the Judge's—" Not even his iron resolve or once mnequaled physique could stand the sapping of the terrible gash which disfigured his forehead. He bad been run over by^tfautbmoblle in a moment of blind abstractio\andjhls hurt was mortal.

Bis head ieQ forward again tad In that intense moment of complete silence they could hear the splash of his lifeblood as it dropped from niB forehead on to the polished boards beneath: then he threw up his arms and fell in a heap to the floor. "Dead!" broke from little Mies Weeks as3 she flung herself down in reckless abandonment at his side. She had never known an agitation beyond some fluttering woman's hope she had stifled as'soon as born, and now she knelt in blood. A solemn hush, then a mighty sigh of accumulated emotion swept from lip to lip, and the crowd of later invaders, already abashed if not terrified by the unexpected spectacle of suspended animation which confronted them from the judge's chair, shrank tumultously back as little Miss Weeks advanced upon them, holding out her meager arms in late defense of the secret Jo save which she had just seen a man die. "Let us do as he wished," she prayed. "I feel myself much to blame. What right had we to come in here?" No one in authority was present; no one representing the law, not even a doctor; only haphazard persons from the street and a few neighbors who had not been on social terms with the judge for years and never expected to be so again. His secret!—always a source of wonder to every inhabitant of Shelby, but lifted now into a matter of vital importance by the events of the day and the tragic death of the negro! Were they to miss its solution, when only a door lay between it and them—a door which they might not even have to unlock? Miss Weeks was about to utter an impassioned appeal to their honor, when the current of her and their thoughts was changed by a sudden sense of some strange new influence at work in the room, and turning, they beheld the judge upon his feet, his mind awakened, but his eyes still fixed—an awesome figure; some thought more awesome than before. Death was present with them—he saw it not. Strangers were making havoc with his solitude—he was as oblivious of their presence as he had been unconscious of it before. His faculties and all his attention were absorbed by the thought which had filled his brain when the cogs of that subtle mechanism had slipped and his faculties paused jBert. "Where is the woman?" he cried. It was a cry of fear; not of mastery. CHAPTER II. The Veiled Woman. The intensity of the question, the compelling, self-forgetful passion of the man, had a startling effect upon the crowd of people huddled before him. With one accord, and without stopping to pick their way, they made for the open doorway, knocking the smaller pieces of furniture about and creating havoc generally. Some fled the house;, others stopped to peer in again from behind the folds of the curtain which had been only partially torn from its fastenings. Miss Weeks was the only one to stand her ground, i When the room was quite cleared and the noise abated (it was a frightful experience to see how little the Judge had been affected by all this hubbub of combined movement and 'sound) she stepped within the line of his vision and lifted her feeble and ineffectual hand in an effort to attract his attention to herself. • But he did not notice iter, any more than he had noticed the others. Still [looking in the one direction, he cried aloud in troubled tones: "She stood there! the woman stood there and I caw her! Where is she now?" "She is no longer in the. house," came in gentle reply from' the only one in or out of the room courageous enough to speak. "She went out when the taw us coming. We knew that the had no right to he here. That is why we intruded ourselves, sir. We did not like the looks of her, and to followed her in to prevent mischief." "How dared you! How dared she!" Then as his mind regained its full poise, "And how, even if yon had the temerity to venture an entrance hero, Ad yon manage to past my gates? They are never open, Bela teen to * » t " ^ As she watched she taw hit •yea* •ntd np to now upon her face, leave It •Hd pate furtiTely and with many heakf with fatal precision, they reached the point where the screen had stood, and not finding it, flew in open terror to the door it was set there to concealwhen that something else, huddled in oozing blood, on the floor beneath, drew them to itself with the irresistiblenesB of grim reality, and he forgot all else. Dead! Bela! Dead! and lying in his blood! The rest may have been no dream, but this was- surely one, or his eyes, used to inner visions, were playing him false. Grasping the table at hie side to steady his falling limbs, he pulled himself along by KB curving edge till he came almost abreaBt of the helpless figure which for so many years had been the embodiment of faithful and unwearied service. Then and then only did the truth of his great misfortune burst upon his bewildered soul; and with a cry which tore the ears of all hearers and was never forgotten by anyone there, he flung himself down beside the dead negro, and, turning him hastily over gazed in his face. "And where was I, when all this happened?" he demanded in a voice made low by awe and dread of its own sound. "You? You were seated here," murmured the little woman, pointing at the great chair. "You were not— quite—quite yourself," she softly explained, wondering at her own composure. Then quickly, as she saw his thoughts revert to the dead friend at his feet, "Bela was not hurt here. He was downtown when it happened; but he managed to struggle home and gain this place, which he tried to hold against the men who followed him. He thought you were dead, you Bat there so rigid and so white, and, before he quite gave up, he asked us all to promise not to let anyone enter this room till your son Oliver came." Understanding partly, but not yet quite clear in his mind, the judge sighed, and, stooping again, straightened the faithful negro's limbs. Then, with a sidelong look in her direction, he felt In one of the pockets of the dead negro's coat and, drawing out a small key, held it in one hand while he fumbled in his own for another, which found, he became on the instant his own man again. Miss Weeks, seeing the difference in him, and seeing, too, that the doorway was now clear of the wondering, awestruck group which had previously blocked it, bowed her slight body and proceeded to withdraw; but the judge, staying her by a gesture, she waited patiently near one of the bookracks against which she had stumbled, to hear what he had to say. "I must have had an attack of some kind," he calmly remarked. "Will you be good enough to explain exactly what occurred here that I may more fully comprehend my own misfortune and the death of this faithful friend." Then she saw that his faculties were now fully restored, and came a step forward. But before she could begin her story he added this searching question: "Was it he who let you in—-you and the others—I think you said others? Was it he who unlocked my gates?" Miss Weeks sighed and betrayed fluster. It was not easy to relate'her story; besides it was woefully incomplete. She knew nothing of what had happened downtown, she could only tell what had passed before her eyes. But there was one thing she could make clear to him, and that was how the seemingly impassable gates had been made ready for the woman's entrance and afterwards taken such advantage of by herself and others. A pebble had done it all—a pebble placed in the gateway by Bela's hands. As she described this and insisted upon the fact in face of the judge's almost frenzied disclaimer, she thought she saw. the hair move on his forehead. Bela a traitor, and in the interests of the woman who had fronted him from the other end of the room at the moment consciousness had left him! Evidently this intrusive little body did not know Bela or hit story, or— Why should Interruption come theh? Why was he stopped, when in the passion of the moment he might have let fall tome word of enlightenment which' would have eased the agitated curiosity of the whole town! Miss Weeks often asked herself this question and bewailed the sudden access of sounds in the rooms without, which proclaimed the entrance of the police anfl put a new strain upon the judge's faculty of self-control and attention to the one matter in hand. The commonplaces of an official inquiry were about to supersede the play of a startled spirit struggling with a problem of whose complexities he had received hut a glimpse. * • • • • * • The library again! but how changed! Evening light now instead of blazing sunshine; and evening light to shaded that the corners teemed far and the many articles of furniture, cumbering the spaces between, larger for the shadows in which they stood hidden. portion of the room where Bela had taken his stand and finally fallen; but from the place where he sat there was no getting any possible view of that part of the wall or of anything connected with it; and so, with every appearance of satisfaction at being allowed in the room at ail, Sergeant Doolittle from headquarters drank the judge's wine and listened for the judges commands. "Sergeant, I have lost a faithful servant under circumstances which have called an unfortunate attention to my house. I should like to have this place guarded—carefully guarded, you understand—from any and all intrusions till I can look about me and secure protection of my own. May I rely upon the police to do this, begining tonight at an early hour? There are loiterers already at the corner and in front of the two gates. I am not accustomed to these attentions, and ask to have my fence cleared." "Two men are already detailed for the job, your honqr. I heard the order given just as I left headquarters." The judge showed small satisfaction. "Two men! Couldn't I have three? One for each gate and one to patrol the fence separating these grounds from the adjoining lot?" "If two men are not enough to insure you a quiet sleep you shall have three or four or even more, Judge Ostrander. Do you want one of them to. stay inside? That might do the business better than a dozen out." "No. While Bela lies above ground, we want no third here.

Old, but Very Good, Are These Llttlfi Tit-Bits Which Most of Us Find a Pleasure in Between Real • Meals. Date cakes are novel and good Take one pound of dates, one-halt pound of English walnuts, the same quantity of figs and the white of one egg to make these. Seed the dates and chop them fine with the figs and nuts. Mix all together with the stiffly beaten white of the egg and bake in small drop-cakes. Peanut Crisps.—Peanut crisps are a fine substitute for the usual tea cakes. Shell a quart of peanuts and chop them fine. Add one cupful of powdered sugar, a tablespoonful of flour and the whites of two eggs. Beat up lightly and drop in spoonfuls on a buttered pan and brown in a moderate oven Lemon Wafers.—Lemon wafers and oranye wafers are made in the'same manner. Cream a cupful of butter with two cupfuls of sugar; work in two beaten eggs. Squeeze the juice from a large lemon and grate the rind. Add this to a small cupful of cold water and mix with the other ingredients. Then put in enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll very thin, cut in rounds or other shapes, and bake. Honey Candy.—To make honey candy, put half a pound of honey into a saucepan, add half a pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of cream and a dessertspoonful of cold water; then mix and stir well Allow to stand for one hour. Put over a moderate fire and cook, stirring gently until it is stiff enough to pull. Pour into buttered tins. When cool enough to handle pull and cut into small pieces. Caramels.—This recipe is very old and very good. Mix two cupfuls of chocolate, two cupfuls of milk, two cupfuls of molasses, two cupfuls of brown sugar and two-thirds of % cupful of butter together. Boil until it hardens ir water; but Just before it hardens flavor it with vanilla. "Who Is to Protect Me Against Your Men?" special to watch my room door. But it's of outside protection we're talking now. Only, who is to protect me against your men?" "What do you mean by that, your honor?" "They are human, are they not? They have instincts of curiosity like the rest of us. How can I be made sure that they won't yield to the temptation of their position and climb the fences they are detailed to guard?" "And would this be eo fatal to your peace, judge?" A smile tempered the suggestion. "It would be a breach of trust which would greatly disturb me. I want nobody on my grounds, nobody at all. Hat not my long life of solitude within these walls sufficiently proved this? I want to feel that these men of yours would no more climb my fence than they would burst into my house without a warrant." "Judge, I will be one of the men. Tou can trust me." "Thank you, sergeant i I appreciate the favor. I shall rtll % t i quietly as any man can who has met with a great loss. I shall always suffer from regret that I was not In a condition to receive Bela's last sigh. He wat a man In a thousand. One teldom sees hit like among white or black." . "He wat a very powerfully built man. It t,ook a slxty-horeepower racing machine, going at a high rate of speed, to kill him." A spasm of grief or unavailing regret grossed the judge's face at' his head sank back again against the high back of his Chair. "I should like to ask a question,** he finally observed. "Tou were not at the inquiry this afternoon, and may not know that jutt at Bela and the crowd about him turned this corner they ran into a woman leading a small child, who stopped the whole throng in order to address him. I taw that woman myself, earlier. She wat in this house. She wat in thit room. If you will content to look for her, and if the Is found and no stir made, I fill pay all that you think it right"! to demand." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Roatt Rabbit. Empty, skin and thoroughly wash the rabbit; wipe it dry, line the inside with sausage meat and forcemeat (the latter of bread crumbs, well seasoned and worked up). Sew the stuffing inside, skewer back the head between the shoulders, cut off the fore joints of the Bhoulders and legs, bring them close to the body and secure them by means of a skewer. Wrap the rabbit in buttered paper, keep it well basted, and a few minutes before it is done remove the-^aper, flour and froth it and let it acquire a nice brown color. It should be done in three-quarters of an hour. Take out the skewers and serve with brown gravy and red currant jelly. To bake the rabbit proceed in the same manner as above; in a good oven it will take about the same time as roasting. Most cooks garnish the rabbit with slices of lemon and serve up with currant jelly. Sometimes the head is cut off before sending to the table, but this is a matter of individual taste. Mushroom Stuffing. Add a small cupful of chopped mushrooms to a similar quantity ofxflne breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful ?f finely chopped ham, a teaspoonful of fine* ly chopped parsley, a dust of powdered thyme, a pinch of lemon rind and a small portion of onion. Mix all thoroughly, then fry in boiling fat, and use at a stuffing for marrow, tomatoes or large onions. To Preserve Cut Flowers. Cut flowers wither quickly from the heat In a room. If a small piece of camphor it placed in the water, it will keep them fresh much longer. The Cranberry Tart. We are all more or less familiar with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the tart shells are filled with plain sauce, while pie crust is latticed across the top. A cupful of seeded and chopped raisins may be added by way of variation. Whole berries cooked in sirup may be ueed at a meringue top. If the uncooked berries are used they thonld be mashed and well sweetened before being placed in the crust It requiret from forty-five minutes to an hour to thoroughly make the tarts in this case.

Saturday afternoon at the home of Dr. H, F. Sigler, a dramatization of the "Bird's Christmas Carol" was given under the auspices of Miss Kate Brown. Most people are probably familiar with the story in which an invalid child who is wealthy, conceives the idea of making Christmas day happy for a very poor family consisting of nine children. Both humor and pathos run throughout the Rook. Miss Brown dramatized the story in a very clever manner, arranging it in such a way that a caste, composed of the thirteen members of her Sunday] School Class in the M. E. Church, were able to act the play, in the presence of a delighted audience numbering nearly fifty people. Each and every one of the children performed bis or ber part well, especially little Lucy Glenn who took the part of the mother. Both Miss Brown and the children are to be complimented upon the sue* cess of their undertaking, Daring the entertainment m u s i c was rendered by Misses Blanche Martin, Norma Corlett and -Mrs. Grace Richards.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Careful Investigation, has shown that the soil is always changing. Water and wind are always at work moving its particles from place to place, carrying them ultimately Into the sea. For the most part this Is a beneficial process. Were each particle of soil to remain forever in one place, the fertility of the land would be rapidly exhausted. As It is, new, unweathered and unexhausted fragments of the underlying rocks are continually adding to the fertility of the soil zont by taking the place of the wornout particles which nature removes. Under certain circumstances, however, it frequently happens that this process takes place too rapidly, that the particles of topsoil are removed before the underlying rock fragments have been sufficiently prepared to take their places. This 1s the case especially in the arid and semlarid regions and In sections where the soil is particularly sandy in character. Under such conditions "soil blowing:" may be the cause of serious damage. In the first place the soil itself may be so blown away that subsoil insufficiently weathered and filled with humus to be ready for crops, comes to the surface; and secondly, the crops themselves may bo lost through the blowing out of the seed or the uprooting, burial or cutting off of the young plants. Few General Expedients. The best remedy, according to the United States department of agriculture, for the farmer who finds himself confronted with difficulties of this sort is to adopt ft system of crops which will cover his land with vegetation at seasons when strong, dry winds are moet prevalent The exact system which the individual farmer should follow depends, of course, upon the climate, the available markets, and other local factors. There are, however, a few general expedients which It would be well for him to bear in mind. For example, if fall plowing is not necessary, the stubble of the last crop should be left on the soil as.late as possible in the spring, or oats or barley may be sown in the late summer or early fall. The plants will be killed *by the frost and will form a protective mat on the soil surface. Another expedient is to protect a slowgrowing crop from wind damage by a nurse crop which, planted at the same time, will grow more rapidly ana shield the former until it is sufficiently far advanced7 to take care of itself. A thin«seeding of rye and barley used in connection with alfalfa is a common instance of this method. On dry lands, however, where the scarcity of water must be considered, this plan is open to the objection that the nurse crop deprives the soil of a certain amount pf much-needed moisture. Many farmers, therefore, prefer to introduce alfalfa and similar Blow-starting crops by drilling in the seed in high-cut stubble of thinly sown millet or thickly seeded kafir corn. Summer Fallow Facilities. The Use of the summer fallow greatly facilitates excessive soil blowing in sections where dangerous winds are prevalent in the summer time, because the land is left fully exposed. This danger may be avoided to a considerable extent by seeding rows of coarse-growing crops at Intervals across the fallow fields at right angles to the direction of the prevailing winds. Where the wind danger is especially great it might even be desirable to abandon the summer fallow altogether, substituting for it a leguminous crop which may be plowed under in the fall. This practice has the great advantage of adding humus to the soil, thereby not only increasing its fertility but also its resistance to wind action. The presence of humus is indeed one of the best protections against blowing, the presence of organic bodies In the soil increasing its water-holding power and therefore aiding in keeping the surface moist. The sandy trucking soils of the East may nearly always be made naturally resistant to wind action by the addition of humus through the systematic planting of leguminous crops. Another Protect kin Method, Another method of protecting fields is to plant rows of trees or bushes or to build fences as windbreaks. This is effective but apt to be expensive not only because of the actual cost outlay involved but because of the amount of land which is left unproductive. For this reason the use of such artificial windbreaks can hardly be recommended for extensive agriculture, and is usually restricted to the. cultivation of fruits, garden vegetables, etc. Where windbreaks are erected, care should be taken to see that they are composed of trees or bushes whlen do not harbor insect pests and whose roots will not spread out Into the adjoining fields. Supply of Protein. Clover belongs to the same family as alfalfa, and can also be used to excellent advantage in connection with corn. Both hay plants supply the nutrient which is lacking in corn, namely, protein, to give a well-balanced ration, though alfalfa is somewhat richer than clover in this. Plant Trees. Plant trees. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a country home or, in fact, makes it look more like home than a house set in the midst of a beautiful lawn dotted with trees, shrubs and flowers. Success With Poultry. The successful poultryman has not stepped into that all at once. He has arrived at that by the Slow and arduous road of experience.' He cannot stay there except by traveling the same road. Hgsfa ef a Tret I x p e e e * by Soil Blowing. WITH CHANTILLY LACE EXQUISITE MODEL FOR A FALL EVENING GOWN. y Every Detail of the Preaent Mode Contained in the Accompanying Design—FavoritexBlack and White Are the Colore. The model jUfifctrated today is typical of the flft^flvening gowns. Dainty and feminine looking, there is/a very obvious dignity about it that marks it for the new order of things and enhances its charm to a degree. Since black and black and white Black Lace la Back In Favor. affects are so modish this season, black lace has been brought Into favor once again, especially chantilly. Black laces have in general been out of the reckoning, but now it is just the thing for long transparent tunics, and there is a variety of ways of using it. The illustrated evening gown shows a chantilly tunic effectively bordered with white fur. The body part of the corsage and the short-pouched tunic are of black chiffon velour ornamented with circles of smoked pearl beads. The V decolletage allows a glimpse of white mallnes folded over the bust, and there Is a little flaring collar of the Bame at the back. Chantilly is again employed in the sleeves, and these, too, are bordered with a narrow white fur banding. The lace tunic veils a white taffeta skirt, which is completed below the length of the tunic with black chiffon velours, bordered, in turn, with the white fur. A recent twist of this idea of the lace tunic substitutes a net foundation built upon with flounces of lace, wide or narrow, or it may be that the net is crossed and recrossed with lace insertions, finished about Its lower edge with a wide self hem, or with a broad band of black velvet or taffeta. Velvet ribbon is playing an important part in tt^e decorative schemes of both day and evening dresses as a tunic border. MAKES DAINTY MENU CARD Design That May Be Colo.-ed at Home —Most Appropriate for Simple Formal Dinner. Those of our readers who are artistically inclined may like to try their hands at producing some dainty menu cards of the nature shown in oar sketch. Gilt-edged cards of various pale shades of .color can be purchased very inexpensively for this purpose and they should measure about three and a half Inches by four inches In size. To the back of the cards a support should be fitted made of a wedgeshaped piece of white card, hinted on at the top with a short piece of tape. Diagram A on the right at the top the support and the back of the card another short piece of tape should be fastened with a drop of glue, to prevent the Support opening too far. Diagram B Illustrates thlB, a cross again indicating the tape. On the front of the card running down the left hand side and along the top, some pretty little floral design, such as suggested in our sketch, can be painted in water colors, and the word "Menu" can be painted in the center in a color chosen possibly to match or harmonize with the color of the blossoms. Sets of, say, half a dozen of these cards with different pretty floral designs painted upon them would make a novel feature on a stall at a bazaar and be sure to sell well. RIBBONS IN GREAT VARIETY Ail Descriptions and Shades Called Into Use Both for Girdles and . ..Trimmings. Rich satin, faille and moire ribbons are used for girdles and hat trimmings. Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers outlined with velvet Velvet stripes appear in dark, rich roman ribbons Many rich ribbons are very dark, such shades as dark brown, navy, purple, mahogany, russian and stem greens, etc., and are blended with hair lines pf black, yellow, scarlet, pale blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of brocade have a rich effe# with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons are used for crush girdles. Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or silver scrolls or flowers are very handsome and are used for girdles or for collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply on the side. FOR KNITTING OR CROCHET Novel and Easily Made Bag, Which Requires Only Remnants for its Material. Our sketch shows a useful bag of a very novel nature that can be carried out with the aid of a remnant of almost=any strong material and that is convenient to use and easy to make. It can be prepared in any size to suit the requirements of the owner, i sffSv and consists of a broad band of ma* terial, lined with sateen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. The side pieces are made of soft satin gathered Into a little frill at the top and they are semicircular in shape and sewn on to the edges of the center piece. The handles are made of silk, cord attached to small key-rings fattened on to the sides of the bag with tabs of ribbon. To open it the handles have merely to be pulled apart, and the bag can then be laid almost flat upon the table so that the whole of the contents will be exposed and any article it may contain selected in a moment To make the tabs for fastening on the rings, cut a short piece of ribbon into points at both ends, then pass one end through the ring, fold-the ribbon and sew it together at the edges. It can afterward be sewn in place upon the side of the bag and the handle tied on in the manner shown in the sketch. / Good Plan. A* young "Worn an who was making some soft cushions and comforts found that the cotton filling that she was using had become slightly damp. This made it difficult i6 thrust the needle through in tying the comfort, so she placed the cotton in the oven to dry and become slightly browned. As a result it became very light and fluffy and held its flufflness. Treated this way it holds its resilience, and does not mat and pack down. Chantilly Capes. Capes of chantilly, ornamented With embroidery, are formed- in loose sacks, dark blue, silver and deep red appearing in the stitchery. Sometimes the chantilly is mounted over a" cape of black tulle for young girls. They are just little sacks with kimono sleeves. — _ - . . „ _ . w the long fronts turned under and of the illustration shows this, the ' caught into the belt; this make, a cross indicating the tape.

"Distinctively Individual"' y MIGHT HAVE BY THE SCENT Englishman's Answer to Inquiry Might Have Been Termed Personal by Some People. A certain English humorist, visiting America, was spending the week in a town on Cape Cod. One afternoon he boarded a trolley car and found the only available seat next to a roughly dressed and hearty down- Easterner. Englishman's jaunty cane and neat outing clothes evidently attracted and amused the workingman, and with a quick look at his friends across the car, he touched a finger to his cap. "Excuse me. sir," he inquired, "but don't you come from Manchester-bythe- Sea?" The Englishman adjusted the wejlknown monocle, exaggerated his stare, and replied: "Bah J6ve How did you surmise it? And am I wrong in thinking that you are from Gloucester-bythe- smell?" At the First' Signs Of falling hair get Cuticura.

They aren't up to date and as full of the modern spirit of progress and invention as the toymakers believe them, to be." Thus spoke one who Is a sort of professional Santa Claua—that is, he has played the part at so many Sunday school Christmas parties that he sometimes imagines he is. growing cotton whiskers. "They display the* same quaint, sample, old-fashioned taste as their grandfathers and grandmothers when they were children," he continued. "Most of them, do, anyhow. Every year the toy manufacturers break loose with a new crop of automatic racing cars, aeroplanes, submarines, fire engines end kicking donkeys. If the children were constructed on the same nervous clock-work plan, they would give old Santa Claua no rest unless he kept up with all the modern inventions. Instead of toy soldiers they would demand mbrtar batteries, and they would not* be satisfied with mooley cows, but would demand that they have pedi- /grees and give only certified milk and cream.

They would require Mr. Noah to carry a pilot's license as well as a college degree in natural history. All the animals would have to be trained to do tricks, and poor Noah's family would have a fine time herding them while wearing wooden raincoats and stove-pipe hats. "Fortunately children, real children, are not constructed that way. They want their arks on the old-fashioned plan, whereby you lift off the roof and find Noah minus his head, and most of the animals trying to hobble on three legs. "Automobiles in miniature, ..lth real upholstered seats and rubber tires may fascinate a small boy for a few hour's, but you'd better place your faith in a good, old-pattern rocking horse, with saddle and stirrups, and a mane and. tail of real hair. The rocking horse is not going out of fashion by a long ways, and' 1^ predict that in the horseless age, if 'that time ever comes, our children's children wilf be jerking the mane of a wooden 'horsey' and whipping him on his painted flanks, and trying to feed him crackers. Also, they'll be falling off his back and bumping their little foreheads in the old-fashioned way, and 'horsey' will have to be thrashed and locked up in the clothes closet for his bad behavior. "And as for dolls, you've got to give them real 'baby dolls' and not grand ladles in the latest tango gowns and hats. For the last 50 years or so doting parents who are well to do ha*f been trying the experiment of present-; ing their little girls with waxen fash% ion models—only to find the precious one crying for the rag baby of the laundress' daughter. Children show the real mother instinct when they spurn the 'play-child' which is too dressy and up to date. "I have one friend, the father of a large and lively family. I make him happy every Christmas time by presenting his kids with a bunch of cheap, mechanical toys. After about half an hour of winding them up, the little ones tire of the clicking*wonders and return to their woolly dogs, rubber dolls and other simple favorites. That Js when father's fun begins. He insists on winding up the toys and running, them til Christmas day, ostensibly for the. pleasure of his youngsters. H e does not cease winding until the toys begin to get out of order, and then he has* the additional pleasure of trying to repair them. Sometimes 1 think that a manufacturer could make a fortune selling toys Just for grown-ups. Seeing a bunch of adults busy working mechanical toys reminds me o&the time when the whole family, insists on taking little Johnny to the circus. HE good old custom of hanging inJfttietoe from the ceiling at the Christmas festivities is said to have its origin in the idea that since the plant did not have its roots in the ground no part of it should ever be permitted to touch the earth. Among the Saxons the fact that mistletoe was suspended from the roof of a dwelling intimated to the wayfarer that the hospitality of the house was at his disposal, and beneath its branches friend and stranger, vassal and lord, gathered in comradeship and good cheer. The religious aspect of the mistletoe tradition, which had its origin in the Druidical rites and the gathering of it by the archdruid with his golden sickle, merged later into a purely social symbol, and the idea of simple hospitality developed into one of merrymaking and a somewhat riotous entertainment. The kiss of the Scandinavian goddess expanded into the custom of a k)ss given for every berry that grew on the bough. Smalf wonder that, in spite of the mistletoe having originally existed In the odor of the sanctuary, the church came to regard it as an entirely pagan symbol and refused to allow it to participate with the lily and the evergreen in the Yuletide decorations. There is an ancient belief that the mistletoe was the tree from which the holy cross was hewn and that after this was made the plant withered and ever afterward became a mere parasitic growth, clinging for support to other and sturdier trees. Other stories, however, credit it with divine gifts in the healing of diseases and the expulsion of evil spirits. Ram, the high priest of the Celts, received in a dream the intimation that by means of the plant he would be enabled to save his people from the plague which was decimating them. To celebrate their delivery he instituted the feast of Noel (new health), a midwinter holiday, which has come to be considered coincident with the new year. In many partB of the United Kingdom the silver berries and the graygreen leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an emblem of good cheer; on the contrary, the plant is regarded with dread as being the bringer of ill luck and the sign of ill omen. This superstition exists both in Devonshire and in Ireland, and, strange to say, in neither of these places does the plant flourish, owing, report has it, to the fact that both lncurre*d the displeasure of the Druids and were in consequence cursed in such a way that their soil became incapable of nourishing the sacred growth. In (he sixth book of Aeneid a lengthy description of the mistletoe is given by Virgil, who makes the Sybil describe to his hero the exact spot in hades where he will find it growing. There is little doubt that the strange ethereal appearance of the little opaque berry is largely responsible for the mystic character it has enjoyed among the people of divers nations from the earliest historical times.

One morning Mrs. Wilmington's attention was attracted by a strange spectacle coming up the street At that distance she could not quite make it out. It appeared to be some sort of animal with n headlight fastened to its forehead. As it carao nearer it resolved itself into the shape of a human being—perhaps some sheik with a red fez. But in another moment Mrs. Wilmington recognized Martha Maria Sophrina Smith, the seventeen-year-old colored girl who came every Monday for the laundry. Martha Maria had u flaming red ribbon four incbes wide round her head. It was tied .in front into a huge bow, the' wings of which stood out four inches beyond her forehead. Mrs. Wilmington was surprised, for, although she bad noticed some of the signs of pride of dress in Martha Maria, the girl had more than tbe*ordinary amount of good taste. "Why. Martha." exclaimed Mrs. Wil-j ton Post, mln^ton. as the girl came round the porqjh. "what in the world are yoo wuuflng that bow for?" A slow grin widened the girl's mouth as she said: "To attract attention, missy." "to attract attention? Why do you want to attract attention?' «1 don't, mania."

In three months' time there will be a great deal of what appears to be rubbish around a sign painter's'shop, but the painter knows its value. This rubbish is cleaned up. stowed in bags and sent' to Philadelphia, where it is screened and tbe particles of gold leaf extracted.

It was Whistler's habit to memorize an effect in nature, and Mr. T. R. Way, in his recent "Memories," gives an example of his cleverness at it. I shall never forget a lesson he gave me one evening. We had left the studio when It was quite dusk and were walking along the road by the gardens of the Chelsea hospital, when he pointed to a group of buildings in the distance, an old public house at the corner of the road, with windows and shops showing golden lights through the gathering mists of twilight. "Look!" he said. As he did not seem to have anything to sketch or make notes on, I took out notebook and offered It to him. "No, no; be quiet!" he said; and after a long pause he turned and walked back a few yards; then, with his back to the scene, he said: "Now, see if I have learned it," and then he gave a description of the scene, perfect in every detail of arrangement and color, as he might bave repeated a poem he had learned by heart. Then we went on, and soon there came another picture that appealed to me even more than the former. I tried to call his attention to it, but he would not look at it "No, no," he said; "one thing at a time." . > In a few days I was at the studio again, and there on the easel was the picture—Youth's Companion. Chauvinism. A chauvinist Is one who if absurdly Jealous of his country's honor or puffed up with an exaggerated sense of national glory. The worts "chauvinist'* and ^chauvinism" are taken tram the name of NiooUs Chauvin, a soldier of Napoleon, who. wan so .notorious for his exaggerated and demonstrative devotion to,V «M imperial cause that ha was oarieftuped oft the •tag*, and his name came to stand for afi people who work mischief by- thsM DAINTY BOUDOIR WEAR NEGLIGEES ARE ALMOST BEWITCHINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Illustration Shows One of the Prettiest of the Modes—Great Variety of Colors May Be Selected for Its Creation. '"Good enough to eat," has long qualified as a verbal seal of approval on those things that particularly call forth one's admiration, and in connection with the new negligees the term certainly seems suitable. Just the mere term "negligee" does not seem half expressive enough for the delicious clouds of lace and billows of chiffon that make up new and bewitching room gowns!

A white crepe de chine petticoat slip is the foundation, writes Lillian E. Young in the Washington Star. It may have an embroidered border or be finished with flounce of lace or selfmaterial. The top is plain with the petticoat gathered to it at an empire waist line. A simple kimono-Bleeved bodice makes the top of the coat to which the full skirt is gathered with a wide beading and a high-waisted encircling line of roses. The front edges slope downward and away from the waist, and are cut in large scallops bound with taffeta. The neck of the bodice and the sleeves are edged with white fur. Use azure blue, shell pink, maize yellow, orchid or white chiffon for this model, with little pink roses at the waist and white rabbit or marabou about the neck and sleeves. Keep the under slip white. The cap is a new one. It consists of two ruffles of net or chiffon caught through the center to the head size with a band of ribbon and trimmed at either side with tiny roses. These ruffles, of course, encircle a plain, close-fitting cap crown. Such a design should make a special appeal to you happy ones who wear a solitaire on the fourth finger of your left hand.

Turbans continue, if anything*, more popular than ever. Russian effect,, Scotch effects, various notched and cornered styles and very long, severe, boat-shaped models are smart. Large sailors a r e worn for knockabout, and huge, flaring Galnsboroughs are among the dressy models. Fur-cloth is much used in the making of smart turbans, combined with dull, soft tinsel, panne velvet and satin, also frequently combined with felt. Tinsel ornaments and tinsel braids a r e used to bind brims and edge novel fancies. Bandings of various widths, edgings, cockades, bows, huge loops, tassels and rabbits' e a r s of fur are all used a s trimmings. Frequently a single flower Is used in combination with fur. Metal roses are favored for this purpose. Some of the newest'flowers have fur petals or fur centers. All sorts of tall trim fancies of peacock, ostrich, coque and burnt novelties a r e used for trimming small turbans. Beaded and spangled birds and ornaments continue to b e popular. \ KEEP SMALL ARTICLES*t1ANDY With This In Sewing Room, the Cotton and Thimble Need Never Be Mlsplsced. Our sketch shows a handy little article that will prove very oseful and that can be made in a few moments. The base is composed of a small square piece of wood, and the sketch clearly indicates the shape and size of it in proportion to the reel of cotton. This piece of wood is smoothly covered with thin silk, the material being turned over at the edges and fastened on underneath with a strong adhesive. Diagram A illustrates the shape In which the silk should be cut out and the space B enclosed In the dotted lines should correspond/In size with the surface of the wood; The reel of cotton is fastened in its place in the center, with a long thin brass-headed nail, and on this nail the reel will revolve freely while the cotton is being drawn off. Diagram D illustrates the holder in this stage. and upon the top of the nail a thimble can be placed in the manner shown in the larger sketch and a needle may be run through the silk covering the surface of the wood. This Is also indicated in„the illustration^ A little holder of this nature, whan not required for home use, would make a salable novelty to prepare for a baaaar. y . * . • : . •ashes and Berts. sashes and belts vary enormously, ane\are decidedly quaint Some of the waisttess-fownt are rendered aU the mora waistlessVby extra drapery, which seems added on purpose to enlarge the figure.

The Judge, who had withdrawn Into the shadow, considered for a moment, then said: "I cannot describe her,features, for she was heavily veiled; neither can I describe her figure except to say that •she is tall and slender. But her dress I remember. She wore purple; not an -old woman's purple, hut a soft shade which did not take from her youth. The child did not seem to belong to her, though she held her tightly by the hand. In age it appeared .to be about six—or that was the impression I received before—" The sergeant, who had been watching the speaker very closely, leaned forward with a hasty, Inquiring glance expressive of something like consternation. Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness? No; for the eyes which had gone blank had turned hte way again, and ^nly a disconnected expression which fell from the judge's lips showed that his mind had been wandering. "It's not the same but another one; that's all." . Inconsequent words, but the sergeant meant to remember them, for with their utterance a change passed over the judge, and his manner, which had been constrained and hurried during liis attempted description, became at once more natural and therefore more courteous. "Do you think you can find her with •euch Insufficient data? A woman dressed in purple, leading a little child?" "Judge, I not only feel sure that I •can find her, but I think she is found already. Do you remember the/old tavern on the Rushville road? I believe they call it an inn now, -some such fancy name." The Judge,sat quiet, but the sergeant, who dared not peer too closely, noticed a sudden constriction in the fingers of the hand with which his host fingered a paper cutter lying on the table between them. "The one where—" "I respect your hesitation, judge. Tes, the one run by the man you sentenced—" A gesture had stopped him. He waited respectfully for, the judge's next words. They came quickly and with stern and solemn emphasis. "For a hideous and wholly unprovoked crime. Why do you mention it and—and his tavern?" "Because of something I have lately heard in its connection. Ton know that the old house has been all made over since that time and run as a place of resort for automobilists in search of light refreshments. The proprie* •p tor's name is Yardley.

Then Judge Ostrander rose and in a peremptory tone saMt "Tomorrow. After you hear from me again. - Hake no move tonight Let me fetJ'that an your energies are devoted- to securing my privacy." The sergeant^ who had sprang to his feet at the same instant as the judge, east * last look about him, curiosity burning in hit heart and • sort of desperate denim to get an ho oosjid out of his progeny opportunity. l o t he felt ahaohrtely surethat he bo sltewed to enter thia such as to hold In shadow all but the central portion of the room. With a sigh the sergeant dropped his eyes from the walla • he could barely distinguish and, following Judge Ostrander's lead, passed with him under the torn folds of the curtain and through the narrow vestibule whose door was made of iron, into the room where. In a stronger blase of light than they had left, lay the body of the dead negro awaiting the last rites. Would the Judge pass this body, or turn away from it toward a door leading front? The sergeant had come in at the rear, but he greatly desired to go out front, as this would give him so much additional knowledge of the house. Unexpectedly to himself the *!._,„..», „*,•,.», i+ „„* .* •»,- ««t«* time carefully locking the door behind him, also the first gate. But he stopped to listen before lifting his hand to the second one. \ A sound of steady breathing, accompanied by a few impatient movements, came from the other side. A man was posted there within a foot of the gate. Noiselessly the Judge recoiled and made hie way around to the other set of gates. Here all was quiet enough, and, sliding quickly out, he cast a hasty glance up and down the lane, ami, seeing nothing more alarming than the back of a second officer lounging at the corner, pulled the gate quietly to and locked it. He was well down the road toward the ravine before the officer turned. The time haB now come for giving you a clearer idea of this especial neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's house, situated at the Juncture of an unimportant road with the main highway, had in its rear three small houses, two of them let and one still unrented. Farther on, but on the opposite side of the way, stood a very old dwelling, in which there lived and presumably worked a solitary woman, the sole and final survivor of a large family. Beyond was the ravine, cut* ting across the road and terminating it. This ravine merits some description. It was a picturesque addition to the tion of his own wishes. He was led front; and, entering an old-fashioned hall dimly lighted, passed a staircase and two dosed doors, both of which gave him the impression of having been shut upon a past it had pleasured no one to revive in many years. Beyond them was the great front door of colonial style and workmanship, a fine specimen once, but greatly disfigured now by the bolts and bars which had been added to It in satisfaction of the judge's ideas of security. Many years had passed since Judge Ostrander'had played the host; but he had not lost a sense of its obligations. It was for him to shoot the bolts and lift the bars; but he went about it so clumsily and with such evident aversion to the task that the sergeant instinctively sprang to help him. "I shall miss Bela at every turn," remarked the judge, turning with a sad emlle as he finally pulled the door open. This is an unaccustomed effort for me. Excuse my awkwardness/' Something in his attitude, something in the way he lifted his hand to push back a fallen lock from his forehead, impressed Itself upon the sergeant's mind so vividly that he always remembered the judge as he appeared to him at that minute. Certainly there were but few men like him in the country, and none in his own town. Of a commanding personality by reason of his height, his features were of a cast to express his mental attributes and enforce attention, and the incongruity between his dominator1 lng figure and the apprehensions which he displayed in these multiplied and extraordinary arrangements for personal security was forcible enough to arouse any man's Interest The sergeant was so occupied by the mystery of the man and the mystery of the house that they had passed the first gate (which the judge had unlocked without much difficulty) before he realized that there still remained something of Interest for him to see and to talk about later. The two dark openings on either side, raised questions which the most unimaginative mind would feel glad to hear explained. Ere the second gate swung open and he found himself again in the street he had built up more than one theory in explanation pf this freak of parallel fences with the strip of gloom between. He would have felt the suggestion of the spot still more deeply had it been given him to see the anxious and hesitating figure which, Immediately upon his departure entered this dark maze, and with feeling hands and cautious step wound its way from corner to corner-—now stopping abruptly to listen, now shrinking from some imaginary presence---a shadow among shadows—tUl it stood again* between the gates from which it had started. of greatest activity., With the various bridges connecting: the residence portion with the lower business street* we have nothing to do. But there was a nearer one, of which the demands of this story necessitate a clear presentation. This bridge was called Long, and spanned the ravine and its shallow stream of water not a quarter of a mile below the short road or lane we have just seen Judge Ostrander enter. Between it and this lane, a harrow path ran amid the trees and bushes bordering the ravine. This path was seldom used, but when it was it acted as a short cut to a certain part of the town mostly given over to factories. Indeed the road of which this bridge formed a part was called Factory on this account. Starting from the main highway a half-mile or so below Ostrander lane, It ran diagonally back to the bridge, where it received a turn IsHftrl H s s s s s H Ttti CHAPTIR III. Aoreeo the Bridge. It was ten o'clock, not later, when the Judge re-entered his front door, He -was alone—absolutely alone, as he had never been since that night of long ago, when with the Inner fence completed and the gates all locked, ho turned to the groat negro at bis side and quietly said; "Wo are done with the world, Bela.

A high bluff rose at this point, which made the farther side of the ravine much more imposing than the one on the near side, where the slope was gradual. This path, and even the bridge itself, were almost wholly unlighted. They were seldom need at night—seldom used at any time. But It was by this route the judge elected to go into town; not for the pleasure of the walk, aa was very apparent from the extreme depression of his manner, but from some inward necessity which drove him on, against his wishes, possibly against his secret misgivings. He had met no on* in his short walk down the lane, but for all that he paused before entering the path just mentioned, to glance back and see if he were being watched or followed. When satisfied that he was not he looked np from the solitary waste where he stood* to the cheerless heavens and sighed; then forward Into the mass of lmpenetrablelinadow that he mutt yet travergp and shuddered as many another had shuddered ere beginning thia walk. For it was near the ond of this path, m fall sight of the bridge he moat cross, that bis friend, Algernon Btheridge, had been set upon and murdered go many yean before; and the shadow of this ancient erlme else no must do first-do this very f*JBl lingeewd over the spot Isight, if possible. Taking down hit hat from the rack, ho tsjrned and wont out again, torn Determined not to stop or to one faltering look to right or left, to hurried on with his eyes flxeofij -•" 7 the ground and every nerve braced to resist the Influence of the place and its undying memories. But with the striking of his foot against the boards of the bridge nature was too much for him, and hiB resolve vanished. Instead of hastening on he stopped, and, having etopped, paused long enough to take in all the features of the scene and any changes which time might have wrought. He even forced his shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon the exact spot where his beloved Algernon had been found, with his sightless eyes turned to the sky. This latter place, singular in that it lay open to the opposite bank without the mask of bush or tree to hide It, was in Immediate proximity to the end of the bridge he had attempted to cross. It bore the name of Dark Hollow, and hollow and dark it looked in the universal gloom. £ut the power of Its associations was upon him, and before he knew it he waS -retracing his steps as though drawn by a magnetism he could not resist, till he stood within this hollow and possibly on the very foot of ground from the mere memory of which he had recoiled for years. A moment of contemplation—a sigh, such as only escapes the bursting heart in moments of extreme grief or desolation— and he tore his eyes from the ground to raise them slowly but with deep meaning, to something which rose from the brow of the hill in stark and curious outline not explainable in itself, hut clear enough to one who had seen its shape by daylight. Judge Ostrander had thus seen it many times In the past, and knew just where to look for the one remaining chimney and solitary gable of a house struck many years before by lightning and left a grinning shell to mock the eye of all who walked this path or crossed this bridge. Black amid blackness, with just the contrast of its straight lines to the curve of natural objects about It, it commanded the bluff, summoning up memories of an evil race cut short in a moment by an outraged Providence, and Judge Ostrander, marking it found himself muttering aloud ae he dragged himself slowly away: "Why should Time, so destructive elsewhere, leave one stone upon another of this accursed ruin?" When he had reached the middle of the bridge he stopped short to look back at Dark Hollow and utter in a smothered groan, which would not be repressed, a name which by all the rights of the spot should have been Algernon's, but was not. The utterance of this name seemed to startle him, for, with a shuddering look around, he hastily traversed the rest of the bridge and took the turn about the hill to where Factory road branched off toward the town. Here he stopped again and for the first time revealed the true nature of his destination. For whecrhe moved on again It was to take the road along the bluff, and not the one leading directly Into town. This mean a speedy passing by the lightning-struck house. He knew, of course, and evidently shrank from the ordeal, for once up the hill and on the level stretch above, he resolutely for bore to cast a glance at its dilapidated fence and decayed gate posts. Had he not done this—had his eyes followed the long line of the path leading from these toppling posts to the face of the ruin, he would have been witness to a strange sight. For gleaming through the demolished heart of it—between the chimney on the one side and the broken line of the gable on the other—could be seen the halfcircle of the moon suddenly released from the clouds which had hitherto enshrouded It. A weird sight, to be seen only when all conditions favored. It was to be seen here tonight; but the judge's eye was bent another way, and he passed on, unnotlng. The ground was high along this bluff; almost fifty feet above the level of the city upon which he had just turned his back. Of stony formation and much exposed to the elements, it had been considered an undesirable eite by builders, and not a house was to be seen between the broken shell of the one he had Just left, and the long, low, brilliantly illuminated structure ahead, for which he was evidently making. The pant of a dosen motors, the shouting of various farewells and then the sudden rushing forth of a long lino of automobiles proclaimed that the fete of the day was about over and that peaee and order would soon prevail again in Claymore Inn. Without waiting for the final one to pass, the Judge slid around to the rear and peered in at the kitchen door. Three women were at work in this busiest of scenes, and the throe women's heads came simultaneously together. There was reason for their' whispers. His figure, his head, his face were aU unusnal, and at v a t moment highly expressive, and coming as he did out of the darkness, his presefioe had an uncanny effect upon their simple minds. They bifid boon laughing before; tbey dsassd to laugh Whyt (TO m UUfrTlMUBDijr THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT A8KING FOR INCREASED ACREAGE IN GRAIN, TO MEET EUROPEAN DEMAND. There are a number of holders of land in Western Canada, living in the United States, to whom the Canadian Government will shortly make an anj peal to place the unoccupied areas they are holding under cultivation. The lands are highly productive, but in a state of idleness they are not giving any revenue beyond the unearned increment and are not of the benefit to Canada that these lands could easily be made. It is pointed out that the demand for grains for years to come will cause good prices for all that can be produced. Not only will the price of grains be affected, but also will that of cattle, hogs and horses, in fact everything that can be grown on the farms. When placed under proper cultivation, not the kind that is often resorted to, which lessens yield and land values, many farms will pay for themselves In two or three years. Careful and intensive work is required. *a<Ht this is given in the way it is given to the high-priced lands of older settled countries, surprising results will follow. There are those who are paying rent, who should not be doing so. They would do better to purchase lands in Western Canada at the present low price at which they are being offered by land companies or private individuals. These have been held for the high prices that many would have realized, but for the war and the financial stringency. Now is the time to buy; or if It is preferred advantage might be taken of the offer of 160 acres of land free that is made by the Dominion Government. The man who owns his farm has a^ life of independence. Then again there are those who are renting who might wish to continue as renters. They have some means as well as sufficient outfit to begin in a new country where all the advantages are favorable. Many of the owners of unoccupied lands would be willing to lease them on reasonable terms. Then again, attention is drawn to the fact that Western Canada numbers amongst its most successful farmers, artisans, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other professions. Fanning today is a profession. It is no longer accompanied by the drudgery that we were acquainted with a generation ago. The fact that a man is not following a farming life today, does not preclude him from going on a Western Canada farm tomorrow, and making a success of it If he is not in possession of Western Canadaland that he can convert into a farm he should secure some, make It a farm by equipping It and working it himself. The man who has been holding his Western Canada land waiting for the profit he naturally expected has been Justified In doing BO. Its agricultural possibilities are certain and sure. If he has not realized immediately by making a sale, he should not worry. But to let it lie Idle Ig not good business. By getting It placed under cultivation a greater profit will come to him. Have it cultivated by working it himself, or get some good representative to do it. Set about getting a purchaser, a renter or some one to operate on shares. The department of the Dominion Government having charge of the Immigration, through Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent at Ottawa, Canada, is directing the attention of non-resident owners of Western Canada lands to the fact that money will be made out of farming these lands. The agents of the Department, located at different points In the States, are rendering assistance to this end.—Advertisement Wasted Tims.

As a fat wrestler walks down the street a crowd gathers around him, hoping that he will turn Into some restaurant If he does they gather in the doorway to watch him eat Tbey would rather hear a Japanese wrestler eat that go to a three* ring.

It's unbelieveable how much noise they make when eating, by smacking their lips, sucking up their tea with the open exhaust and picking their teeth with the cutout on. The champion eaters of them all— the wrestlers—have long hair, but instead of letting it hang down on their shoulders, as one would naturally expect, they do it up in knots until they look like a gigantic kewpie. Whenever you see a man in Japan going around with a large sized walnut on his head, you may know that he follows the an cieut and honorable profession of wrestling. Their wrestling consists of the men standing upright in the ring, making a rush at each other and trying to push each other out Every time two wrestlers come together they give a prodigious grunt When one <*f them finally succeeds in pushing the other 'but the crowd bursts forth into mighty applause, while the victor modestly pats his stomach to show where the praise Is dne.—Homer Croy in Leslie's. BOUNTIES FOR SOLDIERS. Prices England Had to Pay In the Past For Army Reoruits. At one time the system of offering huge money bounties was quite a feature of army recruiting in Great Britain. Prior to the peninsular war, however, the amount of the bounty had been reduced considerably, but tbe wastage in human material caused by that war raised tbe bounty again, and from £13 to £16 was a common price right up to "Waterloo year," when it dropped to 7 guineas. The stress of the Crimean campaign also caused the wnr office authorities to open wide their purses, and so we find that-fa 1855 the price of a cavalryman was £30, while an infantryman received £2 less.

Of al! the twenty first magnitude Stars the inherent glory of Rigel and Canopus is the greatest. Only two are farther than they, while the other sixteen are very much nearer. Estimates give the light of Rigel as, equal to that of 22,000 suns and that of Canopus as 55,000. Assuming that their general surface brilliancy is the Bame as that of the sun and recalling that Rigel has ut least 22,000 and Canopus 55,000 times the light of the sun, the square root of these figures gives us Rigel's diameter as 150 and Canopus' 235 times that of the sun. . Whereas tbe sun's diameter, as seen in the sky, measures one-half a degree, Canopus', at the same distance, would measure 117½ degrees of the 180 that reach from horizon to horizon, and its disk would cover 55.225 times the sky area occupied by the sun.

Pulling Out Posts. ,, JThev trick of lifting oneself by one's •bpptStraps may appear somewhat diflicu4tf| i but n machine has been built j which does that. It is intended to pull ] out piles which have been driven ln so ; firmly by a pile driver that they canu'oi be pulled up by ordinary means. The machine is clamped to the top of the pile, which it grips firmly and automatically. Steam is supplied through a hose. Tbe steam lifts a heavy weight in the machine and lets It drop suddenly. By an arrangement of levers the force of tbe blow. Instead of being downward on tbe top of the .pile, is upward. The main difficulty in pulling up a pile Is to get it started, but 8 quick series of these blows soon stntts the pile. Tbe machine keeps knocking it up until it moves easily, when no more prog ress can be made, and the pile must be lifted out with ropes.—Saturday Evening Post. No Need to Climb. It was a very wet night, and the last omnibus was full inside when the conductor asked, "Will any gentleman ride upon the top to oblige a lady?" There was no response, so the inquiry was repeated But again there was no reply. At last one of the male passengers remarked, "Are you sure she Is a lady and not a poor woman ?" "Oh, yes, she is a lady," said the conductor without hesitation. "A well dressed lady?" again asked the passenger. "Yes. a thorough, well dressed, fashionable lady," said the conductor.

WMEANBP HE seeing of "the Old Year out and New Year in" throughout the world 1B generally accompanied by much merriment and sometimes with much noise. But whereas in some countries the "wild" night has disappeared and has been replaced by celebrations more in keeping with the passing of a year bf put opportunities, and the making of new resolutions for the coming year, on this continent, at least, the night has been given up to revelry strongly condemned by right thinking people. At one time Mew Year's eve in Berlin was a time that might have gladdened the heart of the most exuberant undergraduate, being from dusk to dawn a succession of practical Jokes iad good-natured "ragging." But nowadays the town shows a more sedate temper, and if In a very German way a beer or a wine "journey" (to give the German expression) often reminds in the small hours of what used be- seen at the same time of the in the ancient world, the days to have passed by when it was unsafe for a cabman to show himself la the city before dawn, for fear of having some joker ride away on his unharnessed "Polly." In those times the silk hat was more worn than today, and still more often was crushed in or thrown across the street by some of the more rampageous. It is said that one could then buy a cheap edition of the silk hat that had a gloss that would last through the evening, and at a price that made its disappearance quite sufferable. Today such practical jokes have dropped into the background! Berlin' and the rest of the empire indulge in a celebration of the New Year that has something of the French reve 11- lon, something of the Scottish festivity, and also some reminders of April Fools' day and Gunpowder Plot day in England, and the Chinese New Tear's "Feast of Lanterns." New Year's day in Germany is the day for sending the jokes and wouldbe jokes that are generally held over until April 1 in France and England —cigars that might seem to be burning, references to such rarities as the peacock's eggs, and all the "sells" that can be thought of. Then, as the English of the North may eat toffee and "parkin" on the eve of the 5th of November, the Germans have a special fare of pancakes and Jam, with punch. The rattle reminds one of the Orient It is the article of the day, or rather of the night. Even the biggest stores fa the capital head their weekly catalogue with a list of the styles of ratties that they have to sell, and no self-respecting Berliner is without one when he sallies forth late in evening to make a round of the town before saluting the emperor with the guard in front of the palace in the Lustgarten at nine o'clock. The occasion also offers another example of the extraordinary powers of endurance In the matter of entertainment that the Berliner possesses; Although business begins at eight, and in some offices even as early as halfpast seven, there are as many in the cafes between two and three in the , morning as one would see, for example, between one and two in Paris— a much more leisured city. And on New Year's eve the company does not go home to bed with the* milk, as in the French capital, but sees it out until it is a question of whether luncheon shall come before or after the sleep. ; Supper in the better-known restaurants in the center of Berlin and in Charlottenburg's fine avenue of Kurfontendamm is much on the lines of the Paris revelllon. There is no mention of the traditional "Boudin avec parse de pommes," but in return the pancakes and sirup get their place, and there i* always some punch in the making. ' 'New Tear's eve is marked at the . Court of Vienna by a ceremony somewhat reminiscent of "Hamlet" without the chief character. The diplo- * matte body is invited to the Hofburg to wish the emperor the compliments of the season, but his Imperial saajeety never attends to receive them Since the days of Maria Thar* «s* ft has been the custom for the grand master of the court to deputise for his sovereign on this occasion, no member of the imperial family TBXXAO!

' • • ' ' ' the picturesque procession of the boar's head at Christmas, a quaint but less known custom for New Year's day has been retained. After dinner on this anniversary the bursar presents to each guest a needle threaded with silk of a color suitable to , his faculty, and prays for his prosperity in the words, "Take this and be thrifty." This word "thrifty" has no connection with the philosophy of the late Samuel Smiles, but is, according to Doctor Magrath, the retired provost, the old English for prosperous. To "grow thrifty" in the sense of to thrive was used in America within living memory. The ceremony is a practical Norman-French pun (aiguille et fll) upon the name Qf Eglesfleld, the chaplain to Queen Philippe, who was the real founder of the college. A picturesque ceremony marks New Year's eve at the court of Dresden. A reception is held in the evening— generally one of the most thronged of the year—during which the king instead of receiving the guests in his ordinary manner, plays cards with his suite. Those invited file past a group of c*#d-tables, all the players at which are intent upon the game, except the king, whose aide-de-camp stands behind his chair and whispers the card for him to throw, so his majesty can devote his attention to acknowledging the greetings of his courtiers. The king plays a card, then bows as a curtsying lady-catches his eyes, then another card, another bow, and- so on, until the long procession has passed. The little Scotch fishing village of Burghead, on the Moray Firth, keeps up a strange survival of pagan ritual, the burning of the "Clavle." This is a sort of rude spoked wheel or tub made from half a herring-cask and half a tar-barrel, knocked together without the use of a hammer, for which a smooth stone is substituted. The blacksmith supplies a long nail. This contrivance is borne flaming on the shoulders of a succession of bearers to the town boundaries, and then to the "Doorie," a sort of stone altar, on a small hilt The "Clavie" is then smashed and the crowd scrambles for the pieces. The custom defies explanation and is immemorial The great Scottish festival of Hogmanay is celebrated in "the wee, sma' 'oors ayont the 'twaT with unusual sest among the Caledonians. In every corner of our tar-flung empire, wherever the Scot has car* rted his accent and his Robert Burns, the festival of the Celtic race will find its earnest, if decadent, expression in good wishes and good resolutions for the new-born year. If you have taken part In the festival in Scotland itself you will be able to conjure up what the Saturnalia was In the classic days. The modern Italian carnival bears little resemblance to that great festival la which the worker In the field expressed his whole-hearted delight that one year of toll had ended, and that a new, and perhaps a better, year bad dawned. Hogmanay is the Saturnalia of Scotland, and If the BaochsnsHsn ele- X / L The Zulu Trick.

To sleep on the ground la the ordinary way, without the aid of tills South African trick, which the Baalish learned from the Zulus, is so palatal as to be almost Impossible, Sleep, »•/ stead of resting, fatigues. « The Zulu trick Is to dig a little hols to hoH the hip bone.

So then, every Scot, wherever and whatever his let—Scots Wha Hae and Scots Wha Hinna—will raise the glass to the New Year, and his heart will turn to the Mecca of his hopes, the home of his poet and prophet, Robert Burns. Writing to an English friend from Scotland in 1802, Henry Bickersteth says: On December 31 almost everybody has a party, either to dine or sup, the company almost entirely consisting of young people. They wait together till midnight strikes, at which time every one begins to move, and they all fall to work—at what? Why, kissing! Each male is successively locked in a pure Platonic embrace with each female. This matter is not at all confined to those, but wherever man meets woman it is the privilege of this hour. New Year's gifts have taken many different forms at different periods from the eggs exchanged by the Persians and the sacred branches of mistletoe of the Druids down to the fat capon which the tenants in many English counties were expected to present to their landlords. In the sixteenth century, gloves were often given on New Year's day, and there is record of a certain Mrs. Croaker, In whose favor Sir Thomas More had decided a case, sending the chancellor a pair of gloves with 40 gold angels therein. "Mistress," wrote More, returning the money. "Since Ut were against manners to refuse a New Year's gift, I am content to take your gloves, but/ as for the lining, I utterly refuse it" What precisely is "Hogmanay?" Etymologically, It has been .derived from the French "au-gui-menez," "come on to the mistletoe." The Norman French "a-guM'an-neuf," also an association of the New Year and mistletoe, seems likelier.

It Is like a tea, excepting that coffee instead of tea is the chosen beverage, and instead of sandwiches and cakes of the usual sort atf the food seems to have come straight from a German coffee shop. This rather unusual form of entertainment is given in the morning. Cards are sent out with the words "Coffee," and "Prom 11 to 1" written on them. Or, if the "Coffee" is to be very small, the invitations may be given by telephone. For one of the charms of the "Coffee" is that it is Informal. In the dining-room the table Is spread with a lace or embroidered luncheon cloth—-something rather elaborate can be used—and in the center, Instead of flowers, is a big silver tray heaped with fruits made of marslpan. Half a dozen German cakes are placed on the table. There are small German almond cakes on a plate covered with a lace dolly. There Is a cake board on which is a big coffee ring, with a widebladed silver knife beside it There is a cheese cake cut into narrow, wedgeshaped pieces. And there are other German sweets of the sort that can be bought at a first-class German delicatessen or bakery or made at home according to recipes in a German cookery book. At each end of the table is an urn or a percolating coffee pot over an alcohol flame, for coffee is the only beverage served. It Is served in large cups, breakfast size, and with It are passed cream and sugar. German Doughnuts.—Here is a recipe for one German delicacy that may be served with the coffee. Scald a pint of milk, and while it is scalding hot pour over it a pint of flour. Beat until smooth and then add half a teaspoonful of salt, and cool. Add the beaten yolks of four eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a half cupful of Bugar, a cupful of flour, two teasponfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of almond or other flavoring and the beaten whites of four eggs. Add more flour if necessary to make a soft dough. Roll out and cut and fry gold brown. Drain on thick paper and roll in sugar. German Apple Cake.—For German apple cake, sift a pint of flour with one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder ana half a teaspoonful of salt. Add two tablespoonful8 of butter, rubbing It In thoroughly, and then add a beaten egg and milk enough to make a thick batter. Spread the batter in a buttered tin to the thickness of an inch. Over the top spread quarters or eighths of peeled and cored apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake in a hot oven. Ginger 8naps> Ginger snaps made from self-raising flour are very little trouble to prepare, and the cost Is small. Heat a cupful of molaBses, and when it reaches the boiling point pour over one-third of a cupful of shortening. Add sf tablespoonful of ginger sifted with three heaping cupfuls of flour. Put away to get thoroughly cold, then roll out very thin and bake in a quick oven. Pepper Relish. Twelve green peppers, 12 red peppers, 12 onions. Remove the seeds from peppers. Chop, cover with boiling water for five minutes and drain. Heat three pints vinegar, two cupfuls sugar, two tablespoonfuls salt and pour over above, Cook slowly one hour, then bottle. When Warming Over Meat The best way to warm up a roast of meat is to wrap it in thickly greased paper, and keep it covered while in the oven. By having It covered the steam will prevent the-meat from becoming hard and dry. and it will become heated through is> less time. To Keep Silver Bright. Place in a cardboard box a layer of ordinary flour, then lay the forks and spoons upon it, and cover thickly with flour. They will remain quite bright for any length of time. Celery Stuffing.

Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the In* testines, instead of being cast out of the system Is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten yon out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet end your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Summer had come, and the sea captain's wife was accompanying her husband across the ocean. And It chanced also that the owner's sister was making the trip.

Wherefore, she warned him that, when at meals, if she thought he was approaching dangerous ground, she would give him a polite reminder by kicking him on the shins.

ASTHMA MEDICINE sVt» 6sV] ^London—Assisted by light cruisers, destroyers and submarines,» seven British naval airmen, piloting seaplanes, made a daring attack Christmas day on the German naval base at Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe. Six of the airmen returned safely, but the seventh, Commander Hewlett, it is feared, has been lost, as his machine was found off Helgoland" wrecked. What damage was done by the bombs thrown by the attacking party could not be ascertained, but the German report of the affairs says that the fltfuVwas fruitless. v^The enterprise- of the British navy inTthp attempting to "dig out" the German fleet, brought about a battle between the most modern of war machines. The British squadron, including the light cruisers Arethusa and Undaunted, which have been engaged in previous exploits on the German coast, was attacked by Zeppelins, seaplanes and submarines. Zeppelins Put To Flight. By rapid maneuvering, the ships were able to avoid the submarines, while the Zeppelins found the fire of the cruisers too dangerous for them to keep up the fight. The German seaplanes dropped bombs, which, according to the British account, fell harmlessly into the sea. The Germans, however, claim to have hit two destroyers and their convoy, the latter being set afire. The British ships -remained in the vicinity for three hours without being attacked by any surface warships, and picked up three of the seven pilots and their planes. Three others were picked up by - submarines, but their machines were sunk. Commander Hewlett, it is thought, was drowned, > Delivered In Daylight. The official press bureau gave out the following statement Sunday regarding the British raid on the German coast: "On Friday, December 25, the German warships lying off Schilling roads, off Cuxhaven, were attacked by seven naval seaplanes piloted by Flight Commanders Oliver, Hewlett, Boss and Kilner, Flight Lieuts. Miley and Edwards, and sub-Lieut. Blackburn. 'The attack was delivered in daylight, starting from a point in the vicinity of Helgoland. The seaplanes wer* escorted by a light cruiser and destroyer force, together with submarines. As these ships were seen by the Germans from Helgoland, two Zeppelins and three or four hostile seaplanes and several hostile submarines attacked them, "It was necessary for the British Bhips to remain in the neighborhood to pick up the returning airmen, and a novel combat ensued between the most modern cruisers and the enemy's air craft and submarines. By swift maneuvering, the enemy's submarines were avoided and the two Zeppelins were easily put to flight by the guns of the Undaunted and Arethusa* "The enemy's seaplanes succeeded in dropping their bombs near our ships, but without hitting any of them. The British ships remained for three hours off the enemy's coast without being molested by any surface vessel and safely, re-embarked three out of the seven airmen with their machines."

"' %."&' m SMASH! HIT THE NAIL ON THE / Pigheaded? It is an inleiosting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography seem to be diametrically opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in one are apt to be backward in the other. A story is told of a little boy who was slow in arithme tic and whose apparent stupidity in this field w a s a great source of grief to his father, who had been a mathematician. One day when the father and son were walking out they passed a place where a "learned pig" was on exhibition, and the father took the boy to see this porcine prodigy. "Just look at that," said the father. "Why. there's a pig that can count and add up numbers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?" _ "Ha." answered tbeOioy. "just let me a.sk him a few questions in geo^ra pby!" Two Rules of Life. Here is a man whose guiding principle is bate, n e is forever trying to punish somebody for some real or fancied grievance. He will spend uiou"\ and thought and rime to. bring oonfusIon upon some one whom lie cboo.ses to regard a s an enemy, money and thought and time which he might em ploy in advancing bis o w n fortunes or in nobler effort. When he succeeds, in bis end be seems to take a brief satis faction i n his work, b n t he does not impress us a s a happy man. H e soon forgets all about the punished enemy and casts about for a n e w one to punish. When he fails in his end and his enemy escapes or punishes him he in very much cast down. One advantage of taking the diametrically opposite passion to the one this man has selected as your guiding principle of life is that even when you lose ynu win.—Columbus Journal. Great Generals* but Bad Shots. Curiously enough* although good snooting on the part of the rank and file is all important for success In warfare, t w o of the greatest generals In history were notably bad shots. T h e only time Napoleon went o a t game shooting he killed one of the dogs, and Wellington's record on a similar occasion proved even worse. Lady Shelley records in her diary o n S e p t 8, 1819, when t h e duke w a s staying at her place i n Sussex, that she accompanied the guns in the afternoon.

I Sitting Cross Legged. The next.time you ride in a street ear notice the number of people who sit cross legged. It has been estimated that four-fifths of them do. Probably you do. A prominent London physician haj» investigated the habit and his advice is "don't sit cross legged." He states that the prime objection to the habit is that the return flow of blood Is stopped at the knee, the result be- /ing that the veins in the leg swell up As all of the weight Js thrown to One side of the body, the under leg is likely to go to sleep. The body should, be equally balanced. Much crossing of the legs Is also dangerous in that it is likely to cause lopsldedness. The limbs should be allowed to rest easily, so that the flow of blood Is natural and the body equally balanced.—American Boy. Struggle te Hide 4h# Troth.

"Coming over on an ocean liner from England a few years ago," said a New Yorker, "an argument had arisen among us ns to which was the more simple of the two currency systems, dollars and cents, or pounds, shillings and pence. At last* the captain arriving, we decided to refer the matter to him and surrender our judgment to his arbitration. The captain, an Englishman of the very stolid sort, after a period of reflection replied very slowly and with all the gravity of a judge: "Pounds, shillings and pence is the simpler system, for don't you know that when you arc told the price of a thing in dollars and cents you always have to convert it into pounds, shillings and pence." There was a little objection to this theory, bat in general it was perfectly satisfactory so long as the voyage lasted. Submarine Cables.

The cable was landed 0¼ thff American side on Aug. 5,1858, but was not ready for use till Aug. 1C.

Even where tor convenience and economy it is deairable to hate the dairy under the same roof aa the lee .haws* It is not satisfactory to attempt to combine the lee storage with a cold etatj. When It Is necessary to use lea for ehming milk and other dairy products It Is better to remove the lee from the lee bouse or compartment and place it in a specially constructed ice bos or refrigerator, rather than to attempt to maintain a cold room by storing the ice about and In contact with It The chief argument against the eomblned arrangement Is that It prevent* the storage of Ice In a solid mass.

The arrangement suggested to figures 1 and S la to be preferred. _ Where an abundant supply of natural lee can be harvested annually It will be a simple matter to maintain high-class refrigeration by Installing a brine-circulating system. The principle on which this patented system works Is the same as mechanical refrigeration, except that the cold Is secured through a freealng mixture of lee and salt In a tank to which the primary coils are located, as shown at B to figure 3. As the brine to these colls becomes, chilled It passes out through the bottom of the colls aadslowly flows through the coils marked C, which, are located to the cooling room. The heat of this room Is absorbed by these chilled pipes, and as the brine wanna up it passes out and up Into the primary'coils, and in this way a continuous circulation la maintained between the two pipe systems. For convenience, the toe house can be made a part of the structure, so that the ice can be elevated above the storage chamber and directly Into the crusher, which can be located to the attic above the primary coils Indicated it B. As the drawing shows, the space above the cooling room might be utilised aa a farm shop or for a cooperage, ir one were to be installed in connection with an apple orchard. It would not be advisable to attempt to Install this system without having an experienced engineer calculate the piping necessary, tor any gives atorage room as well as the cooling tank. The question of installation la also a very important one, and should be carefully specified. This construction is adapted to small or to very extensive plants. The department of agriculture used this system in a plant which has bees to* stalled at the Arlington experimental farm. The cooling room to this case Is 88 by SO feet with eight-foot ceil* toga. SeJfcleat apaee la thereby provided to store 300 barrels of apples.

The appraisal figves are that the cost of reproduction of the Pere Marquette system, with everything new, would be mwm, nnd the cost of reproduction less depreciation of the system as it is toiey. If^iefiSdl. This Is the fourth appraisal Prof. Cooley has made of the Pere Mar* quetto In 14 yeatsv The first appraisal was In WOO, the second In 100? and the third in 1006. The present appraisal gives a value of the system of upwards 640,000,000 more than the appraisal of 1905, although the mile* age is but little more than it was In 1005. Prof. Cooley says that he has bean well aware that the. first question thst would be asked vhen the present appraisal was given to the public Is why this great increase with the mileage substantially the same. He tells that the present appraisal Is tar mors thorough than Were any of the other three. The 1600 appraisal which covered aU the railroads of Michigan, then about 11,000 miles, he had to make in about four months because Gov. Plngree wak^sd it quiok for use in forcing bis railroad tax bills through^ the legislature. Not much nrore time Was taken for the U$$ and 1W5 appraisals. The present appraisal has occupied, for nearly seven months, a fores larger than was used to sppraise 11,000 miles in '1000. In the 1000 appraisal the work covered S7 point* or Bubject matters, while this time the number was 77. Washington—GeJuiral~VU!ay as eomnunder- ia<hief of the forces of tho Gutierres gov«rsment baa ordered General Juan Csbrat with 6,000 men, to take charge of the general stt«ation in Sosors, superseding General Maytorena at Naeo. This order Is said to have been decided upon by the -Gutierres government as the best way to prevent eontinusneo of hostUities at Naco and Agua PrieU, where there are compars/ trvely small <3arransa forces. Grigadie^^eneral Hugh Scott, chief of stall of the United States army, who went to Nacb, In an effort to obtain the neutralisation of that place and prevent bullets from falling Into American territory, has advised the war department that the Cabral troops are now at Casus Grandes. Maytorena has delayed signing any agreement for the removal of his forces pending the arrival of Cabral. The combined Cabral and Maytorena forces will total about 12,000 men, while General Hilt the Carransa adherent has Only about 4,000 men. Officials here beyond saying that this situation would presently adjust Itself, declined to comment on it" It generally believed, however, that General Cabral would sign an agreement by which Naco would , be declared neutral and the Hill forces would be permitted to go to Agua Priets. General Cabral, It Is thought In some quarters, then would endeavor to drive the Hill garrison out of Agua Priets, across the American Hue, where they would probably be Interned. 9 » 1 3 « ^ ^ C s t | ^ _ . . market steady; heat heavy steers, U CIS^;. beet bandy wsIgM bsteW steers, t7#7J0; mixed stoers s*d heitcrs, Jf^CTiet ^ hajidy tigbt Dutchert, f«^4^7; l l s ^ butchers, |6^6#SJi;; best cows, ITOt)*; oo»- ifcon. oow% 64454J4.76; butcher oowa, 6S4W30; canners, $t#4; best heavy bulls, HfHJ»i bolofma bulls, |W04> S; stock bulls. f4JW£*. .

And an interesting fact about •It is the^ relationship it bears to life itself. For consider: one sign 1 fi c a 11 o n of " " w i n d " i s "breath," a n d t "spirit** is def rlved from the Latin "spiritus. jbreath; while-the Greek word for spirit broach) mean a both "wind" and "spirit," and is frequently translated . "'the spirit of the Lord." Our English "wind" comes from the root wa, to Wow, and was originally the present participle of the verb with the sense of "blowing." Etymologlcally, therefore, there is an interesting connection between the breath of the living creature, the spirit of the Lord, and the familiar phenomenon of wind, a relationship. most l&vggestive when reading "The Lord God breathed Into his nostrils the breath of life," "a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind" at Pentecost, "the wind of the Lord," and the remarkable passage In Eaek. 37:9: "Come from the fen? winder-© 1>rea^b. ..and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." What is this mighty force? "Merely air in movement," replies the-physiclst; and he starts explaining the , difference between still, dead air and air in motion, and dwells on the fact of the movement being undiscerned by the eye, though its effects are visible through the pressure it exerts upon every object that lies in its path. We compare the ordinary pressure of the air per square Inch of surface at the sea level (14.73 lb.) with the tremendous pressure of the wind blowing a hurricane at 92 miles an hour, the kindly pressure it exerts upon our bodies to prevent them from dropping . . off the earth, and the pressure it exerts inside a soap bubble as well as outside it, thus making possible one of the daintiest nature toys imaginable. Add a little pressure to the air outside, blow upon the bubble, and the magician wind makes It vanish before our eye* M^P2*2JDf2ff$33r223ttKBBk23Ot0^jr £ORG&*r<&&t+ and knees along that passage. i o w is air set In motion? Briefly, **f a *» teese hygienic times people the normal pressure of air is «sturbed5fe2*^to be tound who Insist on tightly directly one part is heated more than - * - • - * - - 4 •another, for heat causes air to expand .and rise. In doing so it leaves a space (Into which the cooler surrounding air presses. This, then, is 4 e key to wind: difference of pressure in adclosing windows, door and ventliater in the grate at night, preferring warm but vitiated air to the energising current which, if it had the chance, would renovate body and mind. It Is worth „ w _„ while visiting certain wards of hospi- Joining parts of a stratum of air, the tale to see what a part wind plays in further wonders of scientific discovery. MeanwhUe we can produce conditions which create wind on a small scale. Ail we have to do Is to light a fire in a room, and the heated air above the grate, being lighter than the air in the room, ascends'the chimney, while the cool outer air from the landing or outside the window flows towards the fireplace and a draught of wind on a small scale Is created. This law of the ascension of warm air and its replacement by cool air is the secret of effectual ventilation. It is a matter of keeping up artificially a constant circuit of air, and, dependent On the aspect of the house and its position with regard to the prevailing winds, of utilizing these conditions to advantage. One sometimes finds singular ignorance of the law of circulation. A friend will visit a patient lying ill with an Infectious disease, and take a seat anywhere but where he should do so, i. e. in a'line .between the window and the fireplace, or the open door and the' fireplace. Another person tries to escape down a passage filled with smoke when the house ia on fire, but fails to^avall himself of the freshest current of air near the floor. He should creep on hands result of, inequality of temperature. But In determining wind movements certain conditions have to be considered* For Instance, there is proximity to land or sea, for the air over land {beats more rapidly than that over water. The presence of water vapor in* [finances the creation of wind, since jibe warm air, which alone can hold jwater vapor, has a pressure much lighter than that of dry, cold air.

Their *alson d'etre is stotiar to that of the trades. The presence of land, owing to its greater heating power, interferes with the formation and direction of the winds, notably in the ease of the monsoons of South Asia; where seasonal variations follow the apparent path of the sun, alternately over land and over water. Land and sea breexes alternate by day and night along a coast because of the unequal heat acquired by the air over water and over aea. The direction of local winds Is much affected by the disposition and height of the land, though over huge expanses of water they have a clear path. It would take too long to consider here the operation and locale of particular winds; but something should be said of the wonderful system of their working. Here is a beneficent transference of warm air from the heated tropical regions, where its. continued presence would make life unendurable, to the temperate regions, where Its mildness is wanted to "temper** the cold. To the temperate regions, where are the big habitable areas of land, come the-* winds most suitable for mankind, enabling him to work in comfort; while to the tropica^ regions blow the cooling- trade winds, aiding navigation westward during the ages before the advent of steam and electric power. , The system of the winds is interwoven with the^history^of mankind— his migrations,'his commerce, his industries, his physical and mental activities. Britons owe more of their adaptability and endurance than they imagine to the alternation, the clock-, wise changes of the wind, front the soft southern breesesv the moisture* laden west winds, to the bracinj northeastern and east winds which have acquired icy coldness In passing over the plains and steppes of northeast and east Europe.

Adv,^ No Fortune Telling In Germany. Fortune tellers now are forbidden to practice in any part of the German empire. Soon after the war broke out, they began to do an enormous business with relatives of soldiers in the field, who wanted to know how things were going with them. Visits to the-fortune tellers often had tragic consequences, as many of the callers were in a high state of nervous tension. The uncertainty of relatives regarding their men folk at the front has been aggravated by an alleged muddle of the field-postal organisation, which Is being severely criticized by the newspapers.

Good gracious, if you had furnished your local merchants with the cash you sent to me, in advance, they would ail be millionaires, now, instead of plodding along trying to make both ends meet. * Take it, for instance, that you sent me an order for a lot of thlnga including hardware. Did you ever wonder why the hatchets and hammers and other tools broke so easily or would not .keep an edge? Did you wonder why the locks became broken and out of order? Did you wondor why nothing Would work just as it should? Your dealer in your own town buys goods that he feels sure will give service and be satisfactory.

He haa to be right there in his store to meet you face to face while my concern is a long ways off. In groceries too. It was my custom to buy up what we call "job lota" of any merchandise whatever.

The reason why one kind ot wood is more durable than another is owing to the fact that one contains the substance known aa tyloae in more generous quantities. Tyloae is the material which fills the pores of the wood and resists tha entrance or action of decay. For instance, white oak ia well suited and much used for barrel staves, where barrels are to contain liquid, while, on the ether hand, red oak, which ia apparently of the aame structure, ia not at all suited lor the purpose.

Get the Most Out of Your Flour- How to live substantially and save money on a small income is a problem concerning thousands of Detroit housewives. Flour i.s the mn.st nutritions food at the least cost p«-r pound you can buy. Comparing food v.-bies aud their cost, it will pay you to u.e more fh::r—and when you buy, the real saving will be in getting the most baking possible out of your l'our. Columbus High Grade Flour! Into Cohmihus Flour we put the very best grade of wheat that can be purchased. Out of this flour you get the greatest variety of wholesome food that can be produced from any one kind of foodstuff. •There was a.time when the good housewife had to have a special flour for bread and one for pastry. This is no longer the case. Scientific milling in the -. . ... David Stott Flour Mills has 3 ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ h l ™ S h t together the two es- * sentiuls for good bread and good pastry. The great advantages of Columbus Flour then are, a H i g h Grade Flour, milled £feir ttm with the utmost care in a spotlessly clean mill — t h a t means purity. Xext, *a the fact that you can do all of your baking —bread, pies, cakes, cookies, biscuits, rolls, etc., from one sack of flour—no need of two different packages in your kitchen. In addition to these two great features there is the greater food value at less cost than meats. If you wijfr just put Columbus Flour to the baking test in every way possible, you'll discover a flour that is of more value to you than any other flour you've ever used. Suppose you call up your grocer and a*lc him the price of Columbus Flour and then tell him to^send up a sack. 24V* i rf«ti*j FLOUR / ro Unbleached O! Coin's? BP^t^2.

Winship calls attention to three important duties of that office,—the investigation of incendiary fires, enforcement of the moving picture law, and. the reduction of fire waste, coupled with which is the incessant effort to prevent loss of life. Property destroyed by fire in Michigan in ldl4 amounted to- over $2,000,000 less than in 1913, the loss being $7,446, 158.57 in 1913 and $5,370,592.00 in 1!»14. 9,660 fires occurred in 1913, and but 7,995 in 1914, a reduction of 1,665. Mr. Winship's report shows that more work was accomplished in 1914 than in any one year since the organization of the bureau, and considerable credit for the showing is given to Assistant Fire Marshal Robinson and his force, the Michigan Fire Prevention association and the local fire chiefs, and to the press of the state for valuable co-operation and support. Mr. Winship again recommends suitable remuneration of fire Chiefs of the state for work done under the direction of the bureau, especially those chiefs connected with volunteer departments. According to the report the "safety first" campaign conducted by the bureau has met with a prompt response, from city officials, fire chiefs and the general public, and as a result fire escapes, necessary exits, and other safeguards have been provided in buildings open to the public. A biweekly bulletin service was inaugurated during the year, the articles of interest to the public bearing upon fire waste, fire prevention, and certain phases of insurance in general, have been circulated. Special bulletins of timely interest were issued, calling attention to unsafe and dangerous publio building conditions, Fourth of July dangers, cold weather hints as regards conditions of stoves, furnaces, etc. Attention Is called in the report to the fact that statistics show that about 64 percent of all fires occur in the home, dwellings usually being built of wood and with shingle roofs, and to the many deaths and serious accidents occurring from the careless use of gasoline, kerosene and other explosives, in the majority of which cases women and children are the victims. Public school authorities have been appealed to by Mr. Winship to set aside brief periods for discussion of the subject of fire prevention by the pupils, and he is of the opinion that what the child Is taught in the school, for the safety of the home, he is very apt to carry into his business relations and activities. Fire Marshal Winship in the report Btates that the most discouraging feature in connection with the work of the bureau is the ill success of the efforts to prosecute the "firebug." During the year sixty fires mere investigated, and of nine cases which reached the circuit court, only four convictions resulted. At least four lives were lost in 1914 in Michigan because of incendiary fires. The property loss from such fires during the year was $146,691.00 less than in 1918. That the Michigan moving picture law is absolutely just what the legislature intended it should be, is very clearly demonstrated by several fires in these theatses the past year, says Mr. Winship. The records show that a number of such fires occurring in booth constructed in accordance with the law, have caused no panics and but very little property damage, while two very costly and disastrous fires occurred hi theatres operating in violation of the law aad without the knowledge of the bureau inspectors. There are 54$ licensed moving picture theatres in Michigan, an increase of 10$. over 1912. During 1914 70 theatres were "ordered to discontinue the use *6f picture*, and many were permanently dosed because of failure J», comply with the law.

Flint—Under the direction of Luther L. Wright, superintendent of the Michigan School for the Deaf, a census of the deaf of the.state is now being taken. Th* figures are not yet complete, but Mr. Wright estimates that his average attendance will be increased by about 200 within the next two yean. The school now has 320 students enrolled. When Mr. Wright took office a year ago it had about 170. From figures now on file it is said that the increase in attendance will far exceed the average yearly growth. Fifty-Seven Ships In Parade.

There will be 21 battleships headed by the dreadnaught Wyoming* Admiral Fletcher's flagship, 23 torpedo-boat destroyers aad IS fl^FM<y1ss. l***liH>1>g' colliers and auppiy Washington—Great Brltain'a preliminary reply to the note from the United States government, requesting an improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet, was made public here and in London Sunday by mutual agreement between the state department and the British foreign office. The British communication concurs in the view of the United States that commerce between neutral nations should be interfered with only when imperatively necessary, and officials of the Washington government construed it as conceding that the principles expressed by the American note were just and upheld by the previously accepted usage of International law. The only formal continent made Sunday night was contained in a brief statement issued by Secretary Bryan, who said: "This answer being preliminary, and not being intended as a complete reply, we will postpone comment until the full answer is received."« Briefly, the British note, while conceding the principles of the American government's contentions, points out difficulties In actual practice, refers to alleged fraudulent practices by shippers and cites statistics showing an increase, rather than a decrease in certain neutral commerce, in support of Great Britain's suspicions that Germany and Austria have been indirectly obtaining contraband through neutral countries. The note promises, however, that Great Britain will "make redress" whenever the action of the British fleet "may unlntentially exceed" the limits of international law. While they are generally reserved in their comment, it may be stated authoritatively that high officials of the United States government regard the tone of the note as entirely friendly and believe, moreover, that the discussion which will follow it will be carried on in the same vein, with a desire on the part of both countries to reach a satisfactory understanding. The admission by Great Britain of one of the chief points in the American note—that the relations between neutrals were those of normal times, of peace and not of war—was gratifying to officials, who believed that the controversy would now resolve itself into a frank discussion of what were the actual necessities of the case which impel Interference by a belligerent when suspecting that the ultimate destination of a neutral cargo is belligerent territory. The statistics brought forth to show that commerce between the United States and neutral countries contiguous to Germany and Austria had increased materially since the outbreak of the war were regarded here as misleading. It was pointed out that in view of the breaking down of the normal routes of commerce with Germany and Austria, many non-contraband/ products had been shipped through neutral countries. Similarly, the neutral countries which previously, . hod obtained much of their 1 supplies, from belligerents, were now importing from the United States. The admission of Great Britain that as to foodstuffs and conditional contraband, Lord Salisbury's doctrine, quoted In the American note, would be followed in practice by the British, foodstuffs being held up only when destined to an enemy's force, also was pleasing to American officials. There Is every reason to that the United States wffl not the view of Great Britain that must be taken into sort for eTS ml nation. MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock, Grain and Genera! Farm Produce.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority.

"But If John should be proved to have suffered wrongfully? If he should be shown to have been innocent?" His rebuke was quick, instant With a force and earnestness which recalled the courtroom he replied: "Madam, your hopes and wishes have misled you. Tour husband was a guilty man; as guilty a man as any judge ever passed sentence upon." "But he swore the day I last visited him in the prison, with his arms pressed tight about me and his eye looking straight into mine as you are looking now, that he never struck that blow.

And now let us end this interview, so painful to us both.

I am not wild; X am not unconscious of presumption. I S A only in earnest in deadly ear- A miracle is possible. The gulf these two may yet. be spanned. I see a way—" What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness? The face which had not lost an its underlying benignancy even when it looked Its coldest had now become settled and hard. His manner was absolutely repellent as he broke in with the quick disclaimer: "But there is no way. What miracle could ever make your daughter, lovely as she undoubtedly is, a fitting match-for my son! None, madam, absolutely none. Such an alliance would be monstrous; unnatural." "Why?" The word came out boldly. "Because her father died the death of a criminal ?u The answer was equally, blunt "Tea; a criminal over whose trial hie father presided as judge.** Quick as a flash, however, came the retort "A judge, however, who showed him every consideration possible. I told at the time and I have been sured by many since that yon were believed him later, and I believe him now." "Madam, this is quite unprofitable. A jury of his peers condemned him as guilty and the law compelled me to pass sentence upon him. The inevitable must be accepted. I have said my last word." "But not heard mine," ehe panted. T o r me to acknowledge the inevitable where my, daughter's life and happiness are concerned would make me seem a coward in my own eyes. Helped or unhelped, with fekh sympathy or without the sympathy of one who I hoped would show himself my friend, I shall proceed with the task to which I have dedicated myself. Tou will forgive me, judge.

Advancing upon her with each repetlon of the word, he towered before her, an imposing, almost formidable .figure. She faced again his anger, which might well be righteous, and with almost preternatural insight boldly declared: T o u are too vehement to quite convince me, Judge Ostrander. Acknowledge it or not, there Is more doubt than certainty in your mind; a doubt which ultimately will toad yon to help Then my way should broadenway, at the end of which I see a united couple—my daughter and your more than just to him in your rulings, I eon, Oh, she is worthy of JhJaV* the Judge Ostrander"—he had taken a step toward the nan door; but he paused at this uttesance of his name— "answer me this one question.

No man would be likely to resist it unless his armor were thrice forged. Would he himself be able to? He began to experience a cold fear—a dread which drew a black veil over the future; a blacker vnft than that which had hitherto rested upon it But his face showed nothing. He proceeded, with a piercing intensity not to be withstood: ^ "When you entered my house this morning did you come directly to my room?" "Tea. Bela told me just how to reach it" "And when you saw me Indisposed— unable, in fact, to greet you—what did you do then?" With the force and meaning of one who takes ah oath, she brought her hand, palm downward on the table before her, as she steadily replied: "I flew back into the room through which I had come, undecided whether to fly the house or wait for what might happen to yon. I did not dare ts go till Bela came back. So I stayed watching in a dark corner of that same room. I never left it till the crowd came in. Then I slid out behind them." "Was the child with you—at your side I mean, all this time?" "I never let go her hand." "Woman, you are keeping nothing backr "Nothing but my terror at the sight of Bela running in all bloody to escape the people pressing after him." Sincerity was in her manner and in .her voice. The judge breathed more easily, and made the remark: "No one with hearing unimpaired can realise the suspicion of the deaf, nor can anyone who is not subject to attacks like mine conceive the doubts with which a man so cursed views those who have been active about him while the world to him was blank." Thus he dismissed the present subject, to surprise her by a renewal of the old one. "What are your reasons," said he, "for the hopes you have just ex* pressed? I think it your duty to tell me before we go any further. "Excuse me for tonight What I have to tell—or rather, what I have to show you—requires daylight** Then, it tonight Tomorrow I will tell yon everything. But it will have to he in the place I have mentioned. Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one-half hour before sunset? Please be exact as to,£he time. Tou will see why, if you come." He leaned across the table—they were oh opposite sides of it—plunging his eyes into hers, then drew back, and remarked with an aspect of gloom bat with much leas the appearance of distrust: "A very odd request madam I hope you have good reason for it;" adding, "I bury Bela tomorrow and the cemetery is in this direction. I will meet you where you eay and at the hoar you name.' And, regarding him closely as, he spoke, she saw that for all the correctness of his manner and the how of respectful courtesy with which ha Instantly withdrew, that deep would be his anger and unquestionable the results to her if she failed to satisfy him at this meeting of the value of her point in reawakening justice and changing public opinion. Hs Was 8erutinlsina Her Keenly. ss she became conscious of his astonmhment added falteringly: "Have yon any objection to meeting me tomorrow on the bran* overlooking CHAPTER V. Excerpts. One of the lodgers at the Claymore inn had great cause tor complaint the next morning. A restless tramping over his head had kept him awake all night That It was intermittent had made it all the more intolerable. Just when he thought it had stopped It would start up again—to and fro, to and fro, as regular as clockwork and much more disturbing. But the complaint never reached Mrs. Averill. The landlady had been restless herself. Indeed, the night had been one of thought and feeling to more than one person in whom we are interested. The feeling we can understand; the thought—that is, Mrs. Averill's thought—we should de well to follow. The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge? Ever since the discovery which had" changed Reuther'B prospects she had instinctively looked to this one source for aid and sympathy. But her faith had been sorely 'shaken in the interview just related. He was not the friend she had hoped to find. He had insisted upon her husband's guilt and he had remained unmoved, or but very little moved, by the disappointment of his son—his only remaining link to life. Judge Ostrander might seem cold—both manner and temper would naturally be much affected by his unique and solitary mods of life—but at heart he must love Oliver. It was not in nature for it to be otherwise. And yet— It was at this point in her musing that there came one of the breaks la her restless pacing.

You Don't Have to Lie About Canada—The Simple Truth Is Enough. The natural resources of the country are so vast that they cannot be told in mere figures. Man can only tell of what tiny portions have dona. He can only say^ "I am more prosperous than I ever eipectod to be." And yet If a farmer expects to sue* coed on land that he has been forced to pay l&O to |100 an acre for he ought to feat assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his dlnpiTtfil absolutely free. If ho has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements —he will find h<**•*»'*' ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe. But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the dMnculties he encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made-up of two things, natural resources and human labor. Canada has the one and you the other. A postal card stands between -you and the Canadian government agent. If you don't hold these two forces and enjoy^the fruits of the result it is your own fault. Debt and Canada Will Not Stand Hitched. . Tou want a cosy-home, a free life, and sufficient Income. Tou want education for your children, and some pleasure for your wife. Tou want independence. Tour burden has seen heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. Tou work hard and are discouraged. Tou require a change. There is a goal within sight, where your children will have advantages. Tou can get a home in Western Canada, freedom. wajsre your ambitions can be fulfilled. If the Prairie Provinces of Canada are full of Successful Imrmors why shessst you prove the exception? Haven V y s * got brains, experience, courage? prove what these are capable of put on trial It is encouraging to know that there is one country in the world where poverty Is no harrier to wealth; own your own car; ova yourself; be somebody. For facts write to any Canadian government agent Advertisement. Panhandler Failed. This is a panhandle story that failed.

Rome, Jan. 16—The full truth of the extent of the disaster wrought by the earthquake which rocked the entire width of Italy in a 300-mile belt, destroying Avezzano and more than twenty other towns, and causing loss of life and property in less degree in a acore more of towns, lies hidden behind a tangled maze of wires and debris-clogged highways. A member of the chamber of deputies from Lipari telegraphed to P r e mier Salanda that the disaster would surpass in degree of violence and percentage of dead and injured the Messina earthquake of 1908, in which ltjfi.OOO were killed and injured. An unofficial estimate from a conservative source places the approximate losses at 18,000 killed and 20,000 injured. Premier Salandra told his associates at the cabinet meeting held to provide relief for the inhabitants of the stricken area that the feared the loss of life might reach 20,000 and the number of injured 30,000. He said the disaster was second only to that of Messina. A brief dispatch transmitted to Borne after communication had been restored between Naples and Sohnona, 23 miles east of Avessano, the center of too earthquake belt said reports of the losses had been exaggerated, and that the ton of death would not exceed 2,000. Official circles adhere generally to the estimate of about 18,000 killed and 20,000 injured. J Survivors are living in terror of new earthquake shocks following several slight tremors, which completed the destruction of many buildings Twbich had been severely dsmeged Many persons were injured by the recurring shocks, among them a number of the rescuers.

Queen Helena, deterred by illness, delegated .the Duchess of Aosta to represent her. The duchess has gone to Monterodonda, where she immediately installed herself as a hospital nurse to care for the wounded. Trainload upon trainload of injured are rolling into Rome. Every train arriving from the Province of Abruzzi brings hundreds of injured. The refugees are distributed among the hospitals and private dwellings. The mayor of Rome, Prince Solonna, has placed at the disposal of the refugees several hotels and public buildings, where food is provided by the city. Aid Rushed to Quake Zone. But just now relief work is being expedited by the army and other government agencies in the hope of preventing the outbreak of an epidemic. All haste is being made to put supplies, medicines, doctors, nurses, temporary shelter and other immediate needs into the Btricken zone as quickly as possible. The trains that are bringing In the injured are being loaded immediately-!- Report* with surgeons and their, staffs, with immense quantities of supplies. Special trains are being dispatcher hourly with relief expeditions, and committees have been formed in each locality to superintend the work. Martial law prevails, and the soldiers when not on guard are working night and day trying to rescue those who are still alive in the ruins. Twenty thousand people were killed and twice as many injured by the earthquake in the immediate vicinity of Lake Fuccino, in the Province of Aquila, alone, It was reported. Eighteen small towns surrounding the lake were completely rased. Twenty others were badly damaged. At least 100,- 000 persons are homeless as a result of the disaster. Dispatches received here from An* cona say a heavy storm raged along the Adriatic coast There was also a heavy fall of snow. Naples reports a strong tidal wave in the Gulf of Qaeta, accompanied by seismic disturbances on shore. Venice telegraphs of very cold weather in the Alps, with the snow in deep drifts. King Roaches Avezzano, A dispatch from Avessano says King Victor Emmanuel arrived there an a relief train. He inspected the ruins and watched the work of rescue, which Is being carried on by the troops with the assistance of civilians. Government officials had urged the Una* to remain in Bone because of the international situation in Europe, but he left early for the vicinity of Avessano to do whatever he could and by his presence gtve stimulus to the relief work.

At Avezxano those who got away and were only slightly wounded instated upon returning to search the ruins of their homes for relatives and friends. Survivors dug frantically into heaps of plaster and stone, often stained with blood. In many instances survivors fainted as their dead were brought to light in the ruins of the home. Then the heartbroken searcher had to be cared for by the members of the hastily organized relief committee. 30,000 Troops at Work. Thirty thousand soldiers have been distributed throughout the earthquake district and already large quantities of provisions and clothing, with wood for the construction of huts, have arrived. Bishop and Monks Lost. At Pesclna the cathedral belfry and the house of the bishop entirely disappeared. No trace of Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop of Pescina, and 20 Carmelites who lived with him has been found, and it is feared that all perished.

Avezzano and vicinity—15,000 killed and injured. Aielli—Nearly one thousand dead and injured. Arpino—150 known dead; scores injured. Albano—Many dead; town severely damaged. Arricia—50 dead and injured. Caxnpob&sso—20 known dead; town damaged; many reported burned in wreckage. Cori—Town partly demolished; casualties nnesttmated.

Megliano—Death list will be large, as whole city is reported demolished. Potensa (ninety miles east of Naples)—Many buried in rains; feared many of 10,609 population are dead; town badly damaged.

Rtpl—Number known dead. 16; many hurt Bora—100 reported dead; town completely wrecked. In addition Hie following towns hare Rome—Detailed reports coming in from the provinces which suffered in the earthquake Thursday morning show that the number of deaths will .probably exceed the first estimates of 20,000, and will perhaps be more than 35,000, with nearly 50,000 injured. These figures are based on the conditions found by the relief organizations in towns and villages near Rome, especially in Avezzano, which was entirely destroyed with a loss of life that may surpass 10,000. The authorities do not attempt even to estimate the casualties in Campania and the southern part of the province of The Abruzzi, where the under secretary of public works is prganizing the relief work. The same situation is true of the towns of Sora, 15 miles southeast of Avezxano, Pesdesolido, Castellirl, Atina and Isolaliri, where the mortality Is supposed to have been: greatest. Conditions Are Appalling. Soldiers are now engaged in opening up the railroads and highways to those places which are as yet unrelieved since the disaster at Avezzano has monopolized the relief efforts. The conditions in Campania are said to be especially appalling. Although the killed and Injured are increasing, Italy has gone resolutely at the task of relief and is confident of handling the situation without outside aid. Offers from foreign countries have been declined with thanks, although Americans, French, British and other residents here are taking an active part. Fears that foreigners had lost their lives in the disaster have been dispelled by careful inquiry, and It is certain that no Americans were killed, though some naturalized emigrants are probably among the victims. King Victor Emmanuel has been extremely active, not only In directing the relief work, but actually participating ior it himself. When he returned by train from Avezzano during the night, he brought with him 40 injured who were distributed among the hospitals in Rome along with hundreds of others who are arriving in every sort of conveyance. Face Hunger and Exposure. Heavy reinforcements of troops and rescue and relief parties are trying to reach the inaccessible places and save the survivors, who are threatened with death from hanger and exposure, despite the admirable and rapid organisation of relief which is still insufficient A new pern now menaces stricken Avessano. The earthquake overturned the stone statue of the Virgin on the bank of Lake Fue'no. It fell into the emissarium which drains the lake and stopped up the waters so that a flood is feared, just na in previous years before the drainage system was pat in. People who escaped the shock are; now seeing from the surrounding countryside, while an army of eap» pen is striving to remove the fallen statue and avert another catastrophe. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

It is timely to recall that Admiral Montagu reported about Napoleon's flat-bottomed boats after he had captured one of them. "In short, sir, these vessels to my mind are completely contemptible and ridiculous, and I therefore conclude that the number collected at Boulogne are to keep our attention on the qui vive and to gloss over the real attack meditated from other points-.** If Napoleon ever seriously contemplated subduing England by means of these craft, the admiral would have agreed with the Parisian wits, who dubbed their emperor "Don Quixote de la Manche."—London Chronicle. Joys of Fishing. Bacon—I see natives of the eastern slopes of_the Andes, in Bolivia, scatter the juice of a tree on^streams to render fish Insensible so they can be caught by the hands. Egbert—But it can't be much like fishing unless a fellow has to wait the greater part of the day for the fish to become insensible. Mlawa, for Example.

FOUL CRIME IN DARK HOLLOW ALGERNON ETHERIDGE, PROMINENT CITIZEN, WAYLAID AND MURDERED AT LONG BRIDGE. DIRECT CLUE TO MURDERER Stick With Which Crime Was Committed Easily Traced to its Owner— Landlord pf Claymore Tavern In the Tolls—H* Denies V- Hit Guilt "Last evening Shelby's clean record was blackened by outrageous crime. Some time after nightfall a carter was driving home by Factory road, when, just as he was nearlng Long bridge, he came upon the body—©* a man lying without movement and seemingly without life. "Knowing that in all probability an hour -might elapse before assistance could arrive in the shape of another passer-by, he decided to carry his story straight to Claymore tavern. It was fortunate his horses were headed that way instead of the other, or he might have missed seeing the skulklng figure which, slipped down into the ravine with a short cough, hurriedly choked back. He could not see the face or identify the figure, but he knew the cough. He had heard it a hundred times; and, saying to himself, "That's John Scovfyle,' he whipped his horse up the hill and took the road to Claymore. "And he was right A dozen fellows started up at his call, but Scoville was not^among them. He had been out for two hours; which, the carter having heard, he looked down, but said nothing except 'Come along, boys! I'll drive you to the turn of the bridge.' "But just aa they were starting Scc~ yille appeared. He waa hatleas and disheveled and reeled heavily with liquor. He ale<r tried to smile, which made the carter lean quickly down and with vert little ceremony drag him up Into the cart So with Scoville amongst them they rode quickly back to., the bridge,/ the landlord coughina the men all grimly silent , "One.flash of the lantern told the dismal} tale. The man was not only dead, hat murdered. His forehead had been battered in-with a knotted stick; all his pockets hung gut empty; and from the general disorder of his -dtess it waa evident that his watch had been torn away by. a ruthless hand. But the face they failed to recognise till some people, running down from the upper town, where the alarm had by this time spread, sent up the shoot of Ws Mr. BtherWge! Judge Ostrander'i great friend. Let some oner run and notify the Judge.* "But the tact was settled Ion* before the Judge came spon the scene, sad another fact, too. In Seating the bashes they had ttghted on a heary stick, Whoa ttwas brought forward and held under; the stress; light made by a circle of lanterns a bit morssient m the crowC The stiefc eootslsed Indeed, i t was wed known to afl Claymore ft Is: 8eev_e*s naaos a of his pockets. He was immediately put under arrest and taken to the city lockup." A later paragraph: "The detectives were busy this morning, going over the whole ground in the vicinity of the bridge. "They were rewarded by two important discoveries. The impression of a foot in a certain soft place half-way up the bluff; and a small heap of fresh earth near by which, on being dug into, revealed the watch of the murdered man. The broken chain lay with it "The. footprint has been measured. It coincides exactly with the shoe worn that night by the suspect/' . . . "The prisoner continues to deny his guilt The story he gives out is to the effect that he left the tavern some few minutes before -seven o'clock, to look for his child, who had wandered into the ravine. He had his stick with him, for he never went out without it, but, finding it in his way, he leaned it against a tree. "He crossed the bridge and took the path running along the edge of the ravine. In doing this he came upon the body of a man in the black recesses of the hollow, a man so evidently beyond all help that he would have hurried by without a second look if |t had not been for the watch he saw lying on the ground close to the dead man's side. "It was a very fine watch; it seemed better for him to take it into his own charge till he found some responsible person willing to carry it to police headquarters. "He dashed into the woods, and, tearing up the ground with his hands, buried his booty in the loose soil, and made for home. Even then he had no intention of appropriating the watch, only of safeguarding himself, nor did he have any hand at all in the murder of Mr. Etheridge. This he would swear to; also, to the leaving of the stick where he said." . . . "Today John Scovllle was taken to the tree where he insists he left his stick. The prisoner showed a sudden interest in the weapon and begged to see it closer. He pointed out where a splinter or two had been freshly whittled from the handle, and declared that no knife had touched it while it remained in his hands. But, as he had no evidence to support this statement, the impression made by this declaration is not likely to go far He Was Hstless and Disheveled. toward influencing- public opinion in bis favor." Deborah sighed as she laid this clipping aside and took, up another headed by a picture of her husband. It was not ajx naauAdsome faoe. Indeed, ft was his good looks which had prevailed over her jedgaomt to the early days of their coartshlp. Benhad inherited her hanaonr of Was not the man who could bring his hand down upon so frail and exquisite a creature as Reuther was in those days capable of any act of violence? Tea; but in this case be had been guiltless. She could not but concede this even while yielding to extreme revulsion aa she laid his picture aside. The next slip she took up contained a eulogy of the victim. "The sudden death'of Algernon Etheridge has been in more jthan one sense a great shock to the community. Though a man of passive, rather than active qualities, his scholarly figure, long, lean and bowed, has been seen too often in our Streets not to be missed, when thus suddenly withdrawn. "Why he should have become the target of Fate is aae>-ef-4h*- mysteries of life. His watch, which, aside from his books, was his most valuable possession, was the gift of Judge Oatrander. That it should be associated in any way with the tragic circumstances of his death is a source of the deepeot regret to the unhappy donor." This excerpt she hardly looked at; but the following ehe studied carefully: "Judge Ostrander has from the first expressed a strong desire that some associate judge should be called upon to preside over the trial of John Scovllle for the murder of Algernon Etheridge. But Judge Saunders' sudden illness and Judge Dole's departure for Europe have put an end to these hopee. Judge Ostrander will take hia seat on the bench as usual next Monday. Fortunately for the accused. hiB well-known Judicial mind will prevent any unfair treatment of the defense." "The prosecution, in the able hands of District Attorney Foss, made all its points this morning. Unless the defense has some very strong plea in the background the verdict eeems foredoomed. A dogged look has replaced the callous and indifferent sneer on the prisoner's face, and sympathy, if sympathy there is, is centered entirely upon the wife, the able, agreeable and bitterly humiliated landlady of Claymore tavern. She it is who has attracted the most attention during this trial, little as she seems to court it." We omit further particulars which followed to save repetition; but they were carefully conned by Deborah Scovllle. Also the following: "The defense is in line with the statement already given out. The prisoner acknowledges taking the watch, but from motives quite opposed to those of thievery. Unfortunately he can produce no witnesses to substantiate his declaration that he had heard voices in the direction of the bridge while he was wandering the woods In search of his lost child. No evidence of any other presence there is promised or likely to be produced It was thought that when his wife was called to the stand she might have something to say helpful to his case. She had been the one to ultimately find and lead home the child, and, silent as she had been up to this time, it has been thought possible that she might swear to having heard these voices also. "But her testimony was very disappointing. She had seen nobody but the child, whom she had found playing with stones in the old ruin. Though by a close calculation of time she could not have been far from Dark Hollow at the Instant of the crime, yet neither on direct or cross examination could anything more be elicited from her than what has been mentioned above. Nevertheless, we feel obliged to state that irreproachable as her conduct was on the stand, the impression she made was, on the whole, whether intentionally or unintentionally, unfavorable to her husband. "Some anxiety was felt during the morning session that an adjournment would have to be called, owing to some slight signs of indisposition on the, part of the presiding judge. But he rattled very speedily, and the proceedings continued without interruption." -AhlM The exclamation escaped the lips of Deborah 8coville as she laid this clipping aside. "I remember bis appearance well. He had the ghost of one of those attacks, the fall -force of which I was witness to this morning. I am sure of this now, though nobody thought of it then. I happened to glance his way as I left the stand, and he was certainly for one minute without consciousness of himself or his surroundings. Bat it passed so quickly It drew little attention; not so the attack of today. What a misftoftag* rests upon this man. Will they let hiss- continue on the bench his fuH condition it knownr weighed the pies of hie counsel and the call for strict impartiality from the bench. He was adjudged guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentence called for. This was the end; and as she read these words the horror which overwhelmed her was infinitely greater than when she heard them uttered In that fatal courtroom. For then she regarded him as guilty and deserving his tatej and now she knew him to be innocent. When her eyelids finally obeyed the dictates of her will the first glimmering raye of dawn were beginning to scatter the gloom of her darkened chamber! CHAPTER VI. The Shadow. Bela was to be buried at four. As Judge Ostrander prepared to lock his gate behind the simple cortege which was destined to grow into a vast crowd before it reached the cemetery, he was stopped by the sergeant, who whispered in his ear: "I thought your honor might like to know that the woman—" "Have you found out who she is^' "No, sir. The man couldn't very well ask her to lift her veil, and at the tavern they have nothing to.say about her." "It's a email matter. I will see her myself today and find out what she wants of me. Meanwhile remember that I leave thia house and grounds "Have You Found Out Who She IsT absolutely to your protection for the next three hours. I Bhall be known to be absent, so that a more careful watch than ever is necessary. Not a man, boy or child is to climb the fence. I may rely on you?" "You may, judge." "On my return you ^ n all go. I will guard my own property after today. You understand me, sergeant?" "Perfectly, your honor." Spencer's Jftlly, to the judge, approaching it from the highway, was as ugly a sight as the world contained. He hated Its arid desolation and all the litter of blackened bricks blocking trp the site of former feastings and reckless merriment. Most of all, he shrank from a sight of the one corner still intact where the ghosts of dead memories lingered, making the whole place horrible to his eye and one to be shunned by all men. The cemetery from which he had come looked less lonesome to his eyes and far less ominous. No sign remained of pillar or doorway— only a gap. Toward this gap he stepped, feeling a strange reluctance in entering it But he had no choice. He knew what he should s e e - No, he did not know what he should see* for when he finally stepped in it was not an open view of the hollow which met his syes, but the purpleclad figure of Mrs. Averill with little Peggy at her side. He had not expected to see the child, and, standing as they were with their backs to him. they presented, a picture which, for some reason to be found fy the mysterious recesses of bis disordered mind, was exceedingly repellent to him. The noise he made should have caused Deborah's tan and graceful _t_re to tarn. But the spell of her own thoughts was too great; and he would hare found himself compelled to utter the first word, if the child* who had heard him plainly enough, had not dragged at the woman's hand and so woke her from her dream (TO BE CONTOmBD.)

Many of them pass through life without uttering a single sound But there are gome interesting exceptions to this rule. The harvest flies, or cicadas, for example, are notoriously noisy, the "song" of some species having been compared to the shrill whistle of a locomotive engine. They are very Abundant in the warmer regions of both hemispheres. The males alone are tuneful—a fact which was commented upon by certain of the Greek poets and philosophers, one of whom writes: "Happy the cicadas live, since they all have voiceless wives." Strictly speaking, however, the cicada is* not a vocalist, but an instrumentalist. T h e sounds that it makes are due to a special mechanism which resembles a pair of kettledrums. T h e s e have their place in cavities on each Bide of the thorax, and are protected beneath by large plates which may possibly act also as .soundingboards. The membranes of the drums are not beaten, but are thrown into rapid vibration by a special set of volun- „tary muscles, the result being the loud, shrill music for which the cicada is famous. Apart from the cicadas, the only other notably Bonorific insects are found in the group which naturalists term the "leaping orthoptera"—I. e. the grasshoppers, crickets and their allies. In these mstancea the analogy of the drum must be discarded for that of the fiddle. Let us take first the grasshoppers. Everyone has listened to their chirping, and perhaps some inquiring spirits have observed that the sound is always accompanied by a kind of swaying of the insect's body, and an alternate movement of its hind legs. But the full inwardness of the matter can only be appreciated by the aid of the microscope. On a certain ridge on the inner side of the grasshopper's hind femur—the thigh of the great leaping leg—there is a row of extremely modified hairs. This ridge represents the bow of the soundproducing apparatus. By the move- , ment of the leg it is rubbed to and fro against a prominent nervure or "vein" of the closed fore-wing; and this fiddling process gives rise to the grasshopper's well-known "song." "Strldulation." Naturalists call the method "stridulation." In the case of the cricfcets it is managed in a different way, viz. by rubbing one wing over the other. Bach fore-wing of the male is furnished with a vein which is minutely ridged or filelike on its under side; and this bow plays upon a vein on the upper surface of the wing beneath it As the apparatus is in duplicateeach wing having its vein and bow— the insect is Ambidextrous, so to speak. In practice, however, it is found that the right wing is generally, though not always, uppermost The reverse is true of the long-horn, treefrequenting grasshoppers. Their soli tary filelike bow is found on the underside of the left fore-wing, which is always uppermost In these insects— and in the crickets to a leaser ent—the overlapping fore-wings form a kind of resounding chamber which intensifies the volume of each note that the fiddler produces. Time and Temperament " Dr. S- H. Scudder, an eminent observer of insect life in America, has expressed some of the songs of crickets and grasshoppers in musical notation. He has also recorded the curious fact that there is a distinct relation between the rapidity of note produotkm and tin temperature. On warm daya, when the sun is shining brightly, these little nissidsns addle away with all their might dun and chilly Is slow »nd mournful Many crickets, however, remain silent u&tfi the of evening begin to tail, sad beads loudly to For this Is really the outof the whole matter.

But how does an insect "listen T In most insects the auditory organs if they can be demonstrated at all. take the form of excessively minute structures connected with nerves These structures, which are microscopic hairs, and cavities, are found most commonly upon antennae, but they may also occur upon other parts of the body. So far as the writer is aware, the cicadas have not been shown to possess any specialized "ears.** We are thus left to assume that they gain their impressions of sound by means of scattered sense organs such as those which have just heeu mentioned. Indeed, some authorities are of opinion that cicadas do not hear at all in our sense of the word, but that they "feeT rhythmical vibrations. Insects With Ears. With grasshoppers and crickets, however, the case is quite different These insects undoubtedly ATTACKED BY TINY RATTLER Venomous Pygmy Reptile Was den in a Log Near King Snake Eggs, Hid- In a small pond we captured several of the banded water snakes (Tropidonotus facciatus). One. a large and richly marked specimen, was lying as he was among the short growth of v station. I nearly stepped, on him before I saw him. On placing the forked stick over him he wound up it as far aa he could and struck viciously at everything in reach, but was soon grasped by the neck and placed into a bag. These water snakes, though nonvenomous, were by a great majority of the .people we met thought to he very poisonous. Many snakes wen uncovered In turning over the fans; which pA*rQrt/tLA*ca>fo*£*i£CQrALcm- HO/iff GRA3SH0P&/1> ears—elaborate structures admirably adapted to receive and transmit sound waves. But the external openings of 'these organs are most surprisingly located. In crickets and long-horn grasshoppers there are two curved slits in the tibia or shin of the foreleg, one on each side. Just below the "knee." These are the openings of the ears! Each slit gives access to a tympanum, or "drum," which Is connected with air spaces and nerve endings. In the case of the short-horn grasshoppers, the ears occupy an equally unexpected position, vis. at the base of the abdomen. The opening on either side may be found beneath the wings, Just above the attachment of the great hind-leg. It will be well, in conclusion, to emphasise the fact that the noises made by insects are strictly Instrumental No insect has a "voice"—that is, the power of producing sounds by the expulsion of air from the lungs through the throat and mouth. Indeed, Insects have no lungs, nor do they use their mouths for breathing. On the contrary, they take in atmospheric atr through a number of small openings along the sides of the body. These openings are called "spiracles.*' They give access to an elaborate system of minute pipes, or "tracheae," which ramify among the insect's living tissues and convey to them the oxygen necessary for the discharge of the va rious v*tal processes. Just within each spiracle there is an ingenious little valve which is opened and closed by a muscular contraction. The circulation of air, to and fro through the spiracles, is kept up by a constant palpitating movement of the whole abdomen. This may be seen, for example. In a waap that is regaling ttself tn the dish of fruit on our table; hut in the case of a hibernating queen wasp, the body is practically motionless— the reason being that the insect's dormancy is so complete that it requires scarcely any oxygen to continue in being. The nearest approach to a true "voice" among insects is the humming sound produced by a mechanism within the spiracles. If we shut up a bee in a box, we shall find that it is able to hum loudly, even though it may be unable to agitate its wings. The mechanism is too complicated te describe here; but it may be roughiy likened to a wind instrument such as a cornet. inside of which were a number of empty shells of snake eggs probably the king snake or blacksnake—end as he reached to pick one of them up tor closer examination he caught sight of a pygmy rattler celled partly under some pieces of the rotting core of the log; and Jerked his hand away Just in time, for the little snake struck viciously, narrowly missing tt. We broke open all the hollow logs which we found, and in doing so found several, very fine specimens of the king snake (Ophibolus getulus). Usually when we found one we would find another one very done by.

Such a coat worn with a short, moderately full skirt, leaving a platted panel at each side and short enough to show laced shoes of black leather and covert doth, or sand-col ored Cloth uppers, marks a woman as a bit different from her neighbor. There is no promise of a return to the fashion of wearing a tight-fitting covert doth jacket with a plain dark blue serge skirt, but it is to be wornwlth a plaid skirt in dull tones that harmonise with the foundation coloring of the coat More and more does plaid work its way into the fashions, not only for entire suits, but for skirts worn with solid colored jackets, especially when these are short. The combination would be ugly if the coat was long. The use of plaid for collar and cuffs on a jacket of solid color is often ad vocated. but it is not to be commended just now. The suggestion of putting plaid peltry on dark cloth suits was brought out by PremeL but it w a s ' not followed over here, possibly because it was difficult to get the dyed fur, and the fashion was too fleeting and experimental for the, expense involved.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) The familiar practice of hogging off crops has heen developed by experts In the Uniietl States department of agriculture into a scientific system of farm management which, it is said, will minimize, in those sections and those firms to which it is adapted, the cost of harvest labor. Reduced to its simplest terms this system, which is described in full in Farmers' Bulletin No. 614, "A Corn Belt System -of Farming Which Saves Harvest Labor by Hogging Down Crops," consists of a four or five-year rotation of corn, corn, rye and a mixture of clover and timothy one or two years. A farm managed on this system should consist of four or five fields of from 20 to 40 acres each, and it is desirable that all the fields should be of approximately the same size. Farms should be laid out in accordance with the following plan: 1. Corn—First year to be hogged off. 2. Corn—Second year to be cut and rye •own. 8. Rye and Young Clover—Hogged off and pastured. 4. Clover and Timothy—Hog pastured. 5. Timothy and Clover—For hajr or pasture. Above Is plan of a farm run on a fiveyear rotation. In field No. 1 the first year corn ts grown and hogged off as soon as it is ripe. This is generally .from September 1 to September 10. When the com la cultivated for the last time, it is usually desirable to sow soy beans or rape, in order that the hogs may ha^e pasturage while gathering the corn, and also because such a crop supplies •valuable humus which can be turned back into the soil. In the following spring this field is prepared for second- year corn and becomes field No. 2 In the illustration. Feld No. 2 1B, as we have seen, devoted to second year corn, which is not hogged off but harvested by hand. Here rye is sown in the fall. Under favorable conditions this can be done while the corn is still standing, but If necessary it is not too late after the corn has been cut and shocked. Rye may be sown much later than wheat, and this is one of its great advantages In a rotation such as is now being described. Field No. 3 is devoted to rye throughout the entire season. In the spring it is pastured by the hogB as long as it is palatable, affording excellent pasturage, especially for young bogs and brood sowa. When, the rye becomes tough and the hogs cease to relish it, they should be removed and not returned to the field until two weeks after the rye has ripened. They should then be allowed to gather the entire crop and to graze upon the young clover that has come up with I t Field No. 4 is devoted entirely to hog pasture. When clover and timothy are planted together, the hogs graze principally on the clover and leave most of the timothy to be cut for hay. In the five-year rotation, however, field No. 5 is depended upon to MIDDLINGS FOR YOUNG PIGS furnish the principal supply 6*f hay for the horses and cows. There should be some surplus and this, of course, can be sold. Late in the fall the field is plowed for first year com, and in the following spring it takes its place In the rotation as field No. 1. Under such a extern hogs furnish the principal income. They are turned in on the rye as early as possible in the spring and there they remain as long as the pasture is tender, although the brood sows should be taken to other inclosures as soon as the spring pigs can be weaned, and there bred for fall litters. Early in May when the rye probably ceases to afford good pasture the hogs are turned into field No. 4, devoted to first-year clover and timothy. With the addition of a reasonably liberal corn ration they feed on this until the middle of July, or two weeks after the rye has ripened, when they are turned back into the rye field and allowed to hog it all down without other feed. By the time the rye is harvested the corn in field No. 1 is ready for the hogs. If none of the stock is sold before, the hogs will gather all the corn by November 1. In this way with practically no labor and very little attention the entire herd is furnished with pasture and grain feed throughout the entire spring, jummer and fall. In addition, there is the corn from field No. 2, which is harvested and not hogged down, and the surplus hay from fields No. 4 and 5. Under this system, the only time when outside labor is indispensable is during the hay harvest On a farm of a hundred acres it is not probable that this will amount to more than ten days' hired labor, which is certainly much less than is required by the systems of farm management in more general use. As for the cash Income, it may be said that roughly speaking rye ultimately brings the same returns, whether it is hogged down or cut and threshed and sold. In the latter case, however, there is all the cost of labor to be considered. To save this, is the main object of the system described. Test Before Tiling. If you are not sure as to whether tile draining will pay or not, try the work out on a few wet places about the farm that most seriously interfere with your work In the field, when the other portions are ready to be worked. In^thiB manner you can determine for yourself how It works out on your own farm. It costs a lot of money to put in a complete system of tile drainage and a man ought to know what he is doing before he puts in his good money. If Rye Can Be Purchased for Less Money Than Wheat It Will Be to Advantage to Feed Them. : • > * . • • W Chemical analyses Indicate that there is nearly 75 per cent more fat and slightly more, protein in wheat middlings than in rye middlings, although feeding testa show that wheat middlings are but very little better than rye middlings.

J., revived an ancient prophecy concerning Egypt, the literal fulfillment of which, they asserted, has been borne out in history. The prophecy is-Jound in Ezeklel 29:13-15 And 30:13. Part o*. it reads ae follows: "It shall be the basest of kingdoms, neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations, for I shall diminish them that they shall no more rule over the nations . . . and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt; and I will put a' fear in the land of Egypt." Since this prophecy was written, said one of the speakers, Egypt has been ruled by the Babylonians, the Romans and the Turks, and now it has passed under the absolute sway of England. Yet Egypt once was the greatest and richest of the world's nations. LOGIC AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT Arthur Could Marshal Many Good Reasons Why He Should Not Attend School. The only safe bet on a woman's age is that she is older than she thinks she looks. As young Arthur was now six, hi* parents decided that it was time he went to school. Arthur had other views on the Bubject, and these views were In direct opposition to those held by the older people. In short, Arthur refused pointblank to go within a mile and a half of any school. Father threatened dire punishment; mother held out a dreary prospect of jamlesa *ueals, even grandmother—the most kindly of mortals and a great friend of Arthur's—even she deserted him and talked about discontinuing f the weekly bag of sweets. This was a great blow to the young rebel, but he stuck to his guns. At last* grandmother decided to make one last effort to soften nls heart "Now, Arthur dear, why can't you | be a nice, sensible boy and go to school like the other children?" she asked. "I'll tell you why, grandma," he re torted, Indignantly. "I can't read an' I can't write; I can't draw an' I can't sing! So what's the good of me going to school, I should like to know."

I acknowledge that when you awakened and aroused yourself to a feeling of anger and honest indignation—for which I did not blame you in the feast, because you had been a long and steady contributor to my Idleness— then you had me on the hip and I was compelled to seek some other method of subsistence, although it did go hard with me to be compelled to go to work after so many years. But you must not be too hard on me, because I had merely taken advantage of the existing conditions. I had cheerfully and joyfully taken your money. X had written you such optimistic and jollying letters that you quickly and generously responded by sending the cash with your orders and ' we had taken the toll that we figured you would stand without a "holler." We had studied you, gentle ^reader, and we had figured out to a cent just what you would stand when a "touch" was made. Tou must acknowledge that we did not fall to weigh you consistently and advisedly, because we had succeeded in exacting the toll which made us prosperous. The people are awakening to a realization of their condition, and the inhabitants of the 8mall towns and of the rural districts are beginning to realise that they are simply killing the future of their communities by sending their money away to the big mail order houses in the cities. We hear all sorts of recriminations and hard words addressed to the people in the villages and on the farms who send their money away to the mail order houses In Chicago and elsewhere, but the masses have considered it their privilege to do as they please without regard for the interests of their communities. The country merchant pays his taxes and he tries to do a business with his fellow men that will permit him to pay his taxes regularly and also give him a living profit on his sales. In many eases he gives yon credit, and he carries some of yon for months and even years on his books. Do yon appreciate it? , ' Yon do not You run up a credit bill with Tour local merchant, and during the lean months yon take full advan- Stranger, rather than to have confidence in a neighbor, reminds me of a little incident that occurred when I made a trip into Texas a few year* ago. 1 stopped at *k little town, and at the station I asked the agent which was the best hotel. There's' two of 'em,* he replied, "and if T was you I'd go to tne second one up Main street** **Is it better than the other oner* I Inquired. **I dunno," he replied, shaking his head, "but 1 live at the first one. 1 know just how bad that one Is." Which goes to show that human nat u r e prefers, at times, to trust in the unknown, rather than In that with which we are familiar. But when you come to think of It. there is a responsibility dealing with our own fortunes, and the fortunes of those who will follow us in this life, which does not permit ua to always follow our Inclinations. We must think for the future as well as for the present • We live in a community togelhei with a lot of neighbors. We meet them In connection with our everyday affairs, and we have opinions that differ with our neighbors. There Is no one subject in the, whole world upon which we all agree, therefore It is but natural that we have many differences. We can condone the differences of opinion and decline to enter into controversies, or we can argue whenever we have the chance, and eng-ige in constant strife. Which is the best way to get along? The man who argues all his life has little time for other affairs. The man who declines to become involved in wordy discussions has plenty of time to attend to bis own business. And in this world it is the man who attends to his own business who prospers. This life is made up of disputes and arguments. You can argue with your best friend until you become a pest and an unwelcome visitor. You can spend your time discussing the affairs of others until, no matter if you win your arguments, you will discover that you have made yourself unpopular. Unpopularity is not an asset in the business of life. It never paid a dividend. It never brought In any wages. And it is strictly your business to try to make the best of everything In your community, to help create harmony, to "boost" your home town ail the time and to help those who can help you. Harmony creates peace, and peace engenders prosperity. Your town wants peace and harmony, especially between the people and the merchants It Is peace and harmony that make business good—that add a value to your own house and lot. Envy walks hand in hand with malice down every village street and when this pair appears on the street the white dove of peace flutters into a corner and hides.

The European has grown so accustomed to sneering at the American for his ignorance of European' affairs, especially since the outbreak of the war, that we have grown to take the snub submissively, with never a thought of the even more gross ignor- j ance of things American on the part of Europeans. Yet that such ignorance is common in Europe, even among the educated and military classes, there is no doubt The elder Charles Francis Adams, who was United States minister to Great tage of his friendliness and hU h o p e + B r i u l n taring the Civil war, used to tell the following experience with a prominent Englishman: Late in July, 1863, there being no cable then laid under the Atlantic a steamer from New York brought to the American legation In London dispatches announcing the fall of Vickaburg and Lee's repulse at Gettysburg on the same day. A few evenings later I held a reception in honor of the double victory, inviting all the prominent figures of English official society. Among the guests was Maj. Gen. Garnet Wolseley, afterward commander in chief of the British army. After congratulating me upon the dual success of the Union anna, he added: "Yet I think your generals made a very serious blunder, Mr. Adams," "In what respectr I asked, somewhat mystified; for it had seemed, to me that Grant at Vieksburg, and Meade, at Gettysburg, had done about aH there was to he done.

Washington—After two days of debate on the general state of the national defenses, the house Friday night passed without a roll call, the army appropriation bill, carrying $101,000,000. Advocates of immediate strengthening of the military establishment fought to the last for additional appropriations, but their efforts met with no encouragement from either democratic or republican leaders. The last roll call on a motion by Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment carrying $1,000,000 for aviation, was defeated; 253 to 34. An amendment offered by Representative Deitrlck, of Massachusetts, and adapted practically without opposition, Jsniuld prohibit tbe use of stop-watches 'and other "speering-up" devices in flt&nection with so-called scientific Management systems in army arsenate and "shops. Representatives of union labor have been fighting for this prohibition for several years, and bills similar to the Deitrlck amendment and applying to all government shops, Including navy yards, are pending before committees. The house also adopted an amendment ty Representative Tavenner, of Illinois, to require that all of the monitions of war provided for in the bill shall be manufactured in government plants. The bill, which carries funds for the maintenance of all branches of the army during the coming fiscal year, includes $300,000 for the purchase of 25 aeroplanes, and $50,000 'for an armored motor car. These items, and efforts to add to them, furnished texts for long discussions on the ose of the aeroplane and armored motor car in the European war. The appropriation for the purchase of flgld artillery material was increased from $26,000 to $170,000. CONGRESSMAN LOSES FIGHT FOR BIG ARMY 8urvfcy 8howt Small Earnings.

London—The German armored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two German battle cruisers were seriously damaged in a running fight in the North sea Sunday with British battle cruisers and a destroyer flotilla, pitted against a similar fleet of German warships, believed to have been attempting a second raid on- English coast towns. No British ships were lost The British fleet of cruisers, under Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, and flotilla, under Commodore Tyrwhitt were on patrol duty when the German fleet was sighted early in the morning, steaming westward, presumably in the neighborhood of Helgoland, although tbe statement of the admiralty dismisses the location hy saying the German ships were "apparently making for the English coast."* The German warships, on sighting the enemy, turned homeward at high speed, and the British started in pursuit The engagement began at 9:30 o'clock, and the Buecher capsised and went down shortly after 1 o'clock. The pursuit was abandoned on reaching waters where there was danger to the Britons from German mines and submarines. A battle also occurred between the light cruisers and destroyers accompanying the bigger ships, but tbe result of this engagement has not yet reached tbe admiralty. The British were superior in ships engaged, weight of armament and speed, and the flight of the German ships into the mine and submarine infested field possibly saved tbem from further losses. So far as is known here, 123 men of tbe Bluecher'8 885 have been rescued. All the vessels named by the British official press bureau as having taken part in the naval engagement except the Bluecher, are battle cruisers, all heavily armed and capable of great The Bluecher, which was sunk, was an armored cruiser 489 feet long, with a displacement of 15,560 tons. Her complement was 885 officers and men. She was built at Kiel in 1908, at a coat of $6,500,000. Her speed was a little more than 28 knots an hour. The Bluecher carred 12 8.2 inch, eight 6-Inch guns and 16 24-pounders. She also was equipped with three torpedo tubes* The Derfflinger is a 28,000-ton ship which waa completed July 14, of last year.

Children can do their little play matee no conceivable good by visiting or staying near them when they are sick, and they run serious risk both of contracting the disease themselves and of spreading it to others of their playmates, is the assertion of a writer In Good Housekeeping Magarlne. In view of this I think we should realty hesitate about teaching this "visiting the sick and afflicted" fo:uv of altruism to children before they are of aa age to be able to make any practical application of it without involving themselves and the community In serious danger out of all proportion to any possible compensating return. We would not dream of teaching a child of seven that he should rush into-a burning building to empty the contents of his toy bucket anon the flames. Infinitely his most useful service is to spread the alarm, to shout at the top of his voice to the nearest grownup that he can find, to run and tell the policeman; or carry the word to the nearest fire station or firebox. So it should be with thono deadliest conflagrations which take toll of humanity—fever and pestilence. ~*r*erele Savers of Life.

"Ah, Judge Ostrander," she exclaimed in a hasty but not ungraceful greeting, "you are very punctual. I -was not looking for you yet." Then, «8 ehe noted the gloom under which he was laboring, she continued with Teal feeling, 'Indeed, I appreciate this sacrifice you have made to my wishes. It was asking a great deal of you to come here; but I saw no other way of making my point clear. Come oyer here, Peggy, and build me a little house out of these stones. Tou don't mind the child, do you. judge? She may offer a diversion if our retreat is invaded." The gesture of disavowal which he made was courteous but insincere. He did mind the child, but he could not explain why; besides, he must overcome such folly, "Now," she continued as she rejoined him on the place where he had taken his stand, "I will ask you to go hack with me to the hour when John Scoville left the tavern on that fatal day. I am not now on oath, hut I might as well be for any slip I shall make in the exact truth. I was making plea in the kitchen, when eome one came running in to say that Reuther had strayed away from the front yard. And here I found her, sir, right In the heart of these ruins. She playing with stones just as dear is doing now. Greatly relieved, I was taking her away when I thought I heard John calling. Stepping up to the edge'close behind where you are standing, ..sir—yes, there, where you set such a broad outlook up and down the ravine—I glanced in the direction from which I had heard his call—Just wait a momenV Wr~T~want to"know the exact time.'* Stopping, she pulled out her watch and looked at It; while he, faltering up to the verge which she had pointed out, followed her movements with strange intensity as she went on to say in explanation of her act: 'The time is important, on account of a certain demonstration I am anxious to make. Now if you will lean a little forward and look where I am pointing, you will notice at the turn of the stream a spot of ground more open than the rest Please keep your eyes on that spot, tor it was there X saw at this very hour twelve years ago the shadow of an approaching figure; and it is there yon win presently see one similar, if the hoy I have tried to interest in this experiment does not fail me.

But later,/when it was all over, when the disgrace of his death. and the necessity of seeking a home elsewhere drove me Into selling the tavern and all Its effects, I found something which, changed my mind in this regard, and made me confident that I had done my husband a great injustice." •*tou found? What do you mean by that?

I had seen the shadow of some other man approaching Dark Hollow, Whose, I am in this town now to find out." Judge Ostrander was a man of keen perception, quick to grasp an idea, quick to form an opinion. But his mind acted slowly tonight Deborah Scoville wondered at the blanknees of his gaze and the slow way in which he seemed to take In this astounding fact. s At last he found voice and with It gave some evidence of his usual acumen. "Madam, a shadow is an uncertain foundation on which to build such an edifice as you plan. A dosen men might have come down that path with or without sticks before Mr. Etheridge reached the bridge and fell a victim to the assault which laid him low." "I thought the time was pretty clearly settled by the hour he left your house. The sun had not set when he turned your corner on hie way home. 80 several people said who saw him. Besides—" "Yes; there is a 'besides.' I'm sure of it" *'I saw the tall figure of a man, whom I afterwards made sure was Mr. Etheridge, coming down Factory road on his way to the bridge when I turned about to get Reuther." "All of which you suppressed at the triat" T was not Questioned on this point sir." "Madam"—he was standing very near to her now, hemming her as It were into that decaying corner—-"I should have a very much higher opinion of your candor if you told me the whole story.*1 "I have, sir." His hands rose, one to the righthand wall, the other to the left and remained there with their palms resting heavily against the rotting plaster. She was more then ever hemmed in; hat though she felt a trifle frightened at his aspect which certainly was not usual, she faced him without shrinking and in very evident surprise. "It "seems too slight a fact to mention, and. indeed, I had forgotten it till yon pressed me, hot after we had passed the gates and were well out on the highway, I found that Reuther had left her little pall behind her here, and we came back and got i t Did yon mean that air?" "1 meant nothing; but I felt sure yon had not told all yon could about that fatal ten -minute*. Ton came hack. It is quite a walk from the road.

If you deny me aid and advice I shall eeek another counselor. John's name must be vindicated," He gave her a look, turned and glanced down at the child piling stone on stone and whimpering just a little when they tell. "Watch that baby for a while," he remarked, "and you will learn the lesson of most human endeavor. Madam, I have, a proposition to make you. Tou cannot wish to. remain at the inn, nor can yon be long happy separated from your daughter. I have lost Bela. I do not know how, nor would I be wiling, to replace him by another servant I need a housekeeper; some one devoted to my interests and who will not ask me to change my habits too materially.. Will you accept the position, it. I add as an inducement my desire to have Reuther also as an. inmate of my home? This does not mean that t countenance or in any way anticipate her union wKh my son. I do not; but any other advantages she may desire she shall have. I will not be strict with her." Deborah ScoviUe was never more taken aback in her life. The recluse opening his door* to two women! The man of mystery flinging aside the reticences of years to harbor an innocence which he refueed to let weigh against the claims of a son he had seen fit to banish from his heart and home! "You may take time to think of it," he continued, as he watched the confused emotions change from moment to moment the character of her moot bis hi plain night this gap!* I have no sweet, air and If 1 Mlf You Deny Me 1 Shall Seek Another Counsellor.* bile features. "I shall not have my affairs adjusted for such a change before a week. If you accept I shall be very grateful. If you decline I shall close up my two rear gates, and go into solitary seclusion. I can cook a.meal if I have to." And she saw that he would do it; saw and wondered still more. '1 shall have to write to Reuther," she murmured. 'How soon do you want my decision,?" -In four days." «1 am too disturbed to thank you, judge. Should—should we have to keep the gates locked?" "No. But you would have to keep out unwelcome Intruders. And the rights of my library win have to be respected. In an other regards I should wish, under these new circumeances, to Uve as other people live.

Over this letter Deborah Scoville sat for two hours, then she rang for Mrs. Yardley. The maid who answered her summons surveyed her in amazement. It was the first time that she had seen her uncovered face. Mrs. Yardley was not long In coming up. "Mrs. Averlll—" she began, In a kind of fluster, as Bhe met her strange guest's quiet eye. v But she got no further. That guest had a correction to make. *'My name is not Averill," she protested. "You must excuse the temporary deception. It is Scoville. I once ocupled your present position In thjte house." Mrs. Yardley had heard all about the Scovlllcs; and, while a flush rose to her cheeks, her eyes snapped with sudden interest "Ah!" came In quick exclamation, followed, however, by an apologetic cough and the somewhat forced and conventional remark: "You find the place changed, no doubt?" "Very much so, and for the better, Mrs. Yardley." Then, with a straightforward meeting of the other's eye, she quietly added, "I am going to live with Judge Ostrander, Mrs. Yardley— keep house for him, myself and daughter. His man is dead and he feels very helpless. I hope that I shall be able to make him comfortable.'' Mrs. Yardley'8 face was a study. In all her life she had never heard news that surprised her more. In another moment she had accepted the situation, like the very sensible woman she was, and Mrs. Scoville had the satisfaction of seeing the promise of real friendly support in the smile with which Mrs. Yardley remarked: "It's a good thing for you and a very good thing for the judge. It may shake him out of his habit of seclusion. If it does, you will be the city's benefactor. Good luck to you, madam. And you have a daughter, you say?" After Mrs. Yardley's departure Mrs. Scoville, as she now expected herself to be called, sat for a long time brooding. There was one thing more to be accomplished. She set about It that evening. Veiled, but in black now, she went into town. Getting down at the corner of Colburn avenue and Perry street, she walked a short distance on Perry, then rang the bell of an attractive- looking house of moderate dimensions. Being admitted, she asked to see Mr. Black, and for an hour sat in close conversation with him. Then she took a trolley car which carried her into the suburbs. When she alighted, it was unusually late for a woman to be out alone; but she had very little physical fear, and walked on steadily enough for a block or two till she came to a corner, where a high fence loomed forbiddingly between her and a house so dark that it was impossible' to distinguish between its chimneys and the encompassing trees. Was she quite alone in the seemingly quiet street? She could hear no one, see no one. A lamp burned In front of Miss Weeks' small house, but the road it illumined, the one running down to the ravine, showed only darkened houses. She had left the oorner and was pa*alrig the gate of the Ostrander homestead, when she heard, coming from some distant point within, a low and peculiar sound which held her immovable for a moment, then sect her on shuddering. It was the sound of hammering. Hearing this sound and locating it where she did. she remembered, with a quick inner disturbance, that the judge's house held a secret; a secret of such import to its owner that the dying Bela had sought to preserve it at the cost of his life. Oh, she had heard all about that! The gossip at Claymore inn had been great, and nothing had been spared her curiosity. There was something in this house which it behooved the judge to secrete from sight yet more completely before her own and Reuther's entrance, and he was at work upon it now, hammering with his own hand while other persons slept! No wonder she edged ber way along the fence with a shrinking, yet persistent, step. She was circling her future home and that bouse held a mystery. As she groped her way along, she had ample opportunity to beer again the intermitteet sounds of the hammer, and to note that they reached their maximum at a point where the ell of the judge's study approached the k - .•» 1 sicrcMETsr Gently cleanse your liver ant? sluggish bowels while you sleep.

The Texas Farmers* Union registered its opposition to this character of legislation at the last annual meeting held in Fort Worth, Tex., August 4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote, aa follows: "The matter of prime importance to the farmers of this state is an adequate and efficient marketing system; and we recognise that such a system la impossible without adequate railroad facilities, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least possible cost We further recognise that the farmers and producers In the end pay approximately 95 per cent of the expenses of operating the railroads, aad it ia therefore to the interest of the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be as small aa Is possible, consistent with good service and aafety.

The fanners of Missouri In the last election, by an overwhelming majority, swept this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come off of all statute books where it appears and no legislature of this nation should pass such a law or similar legislation which requires unnecessary expenditures. The same rule applies to all regulatory measures which increase the expenses of industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public- There is ofttimee a body of men assembled at legislatures—and they have a right to be there—who, in their seal for rendering their fellowassociates a service, sometimes favor an increase in the expenses of industry without due regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer's sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record for themselves, rub the skin off the shoulders of the farmer by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon his heavy load and under the lash of "be it enacted" goad bim ou to pull and surge at the traces of civil il The Parmer's Pay roil and How Meets It.

A portion of the amount is shifted to foreign countries in exports, but the total payroll of industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, 114^52.000,000; manufacturers, $4,3*5,000,000; mining, $455,000,000; banks, $200,000,000; mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes the foam and gall at the task. When legislatures "cut a melon" for labor they hand the farmer a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry "dead heads" on their payrolls. Our own hired hands are not paid unleas we have something for them to do and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent Industries unless there is work for them. We must therefore insist upon the most rigid economy Legislative House-Cleaning Needed. While the war is on and there is a lull in business, we want all legislative bodies \o take an inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning Is needed and economies can be instituted here and there that will patch the clothes of indigent children, rest tired mothers and lift mortgages from despondent homes.

Ia exsreestag its social interest, the modem rural church does not hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religious ia* stinct aad the old-time idea that the social instincts should be starved while the spiritual nature waa overfed with solid theological food, is fast giving way to a broader Interpretation of the functions of true religion. We take our place in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children of man when we seek to study and understand the social duty of the rural church. The true christian religion is essentially social—its tenets of faith being love and brotherhood and fellowship. While following after righteousness, the church must challenge and seek to reform that social order in which moral life ia expressed. While cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which attains the fullest measure of success iB that which enriches as many lives aa It can touch, and in no way can the church come in as dose contact with its members as through the avenue of social functions. The country town and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to fill this need In the community, if an understanding of its mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness. The structure of a rural community is exceedingly complex; it contains many social groups, each of which has Its own center, but there are many localities which have but one church and although such w \ V For Sale by Ayrault & Bollinger, Gregory, and Monks Bros, and W.

Social Needs Imperative. The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a vague conception of the' meaning of pleasure and recreation. It is to fll) this void in the lives of country youth that the rural church has risen tc the necessity of providing entertain ment, as well as instruction, to its membership among the young. The children and young people of the church should meet when religion is not even mentioned. It has been7 found safest for them to meet frequently under the direction and care of the church. To send them into the world with no social training expose* them to grave perils and to try to keep them out of the world with no social privileges is sheer folly. There Is a social nature to both old and young, but the social requirements oi MU: It takes the corn crop, the moat valuable in agriculture, which sold mat year for $1,081,000,000, to pay off the employes of the railroads; the money derived from our annual sales of livestock of approximately $2,000,- 000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued at $920,000,000; the wheat crop, which is worth $€10,000,000, and the oat crop, that is worth $440,000,000, are required to meet the annual payroll of the manufacturers.

In one way or another the social instincts of our young people must have opportunity for expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, picnics or other forms of amusement One thing is certain, and that is that the church cannot take away the dance, the card party and the theatre unless It can offer In its place a satisfying substitute in the form of more pleasing recreation.

Had it taken the money it has spent in controlling officials and electorate In purchasing machine guns, the employment of gunmen and in crushing the aspirations of human beings and spent it in wages and improvement of working conditions, they would have had rich returns." The manner in which the directing forces of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. "handed down power from man to man," Mr. Lawson characterizes as- "a chain that no individual can climb." The Rockefeller foundations investigation into industrial unrest, Mr. Lawson said, is to be coMucted by "Mackenzie King, an alien, whose chief contribution to the industrial problem is a law that prescribes a jail sentence for the worker who dares tp lay down his tools." Mr. Lawson announced that he appeared before the commission at his own request. When the miners heard that the Rockefeller foundation was to be investigated, he said, they thought they should let the public know that "every deduction from their pay envelopes, everything. they lost, went into the treasury of the Rockefeller foundation."

McGraw is charged with striking Mrs. Howard Pearson, while driving his automobile. McGraw demurred to the charge on the ground the city traffic ordinance conflicted with the state automobile law. The supreme""court held that the constitution gave cities a reasonable control of their streets and that the city had a right to pass a traffic ordinance. It said that all parts of the state law in conflict with this theory were unconstitutional and void. The decision means McGraw must stand trial. In part, Justice Kuhn's decision says: "In other words, the municipality retains reasonable control of its highways, which, as much control cannot be said to be unreasonable and inconsistent with regulations which have' been established, or may be established, by the state itself with reference thereto.

Frank murder case. Specifically, the defendants were charged with having obtained false affidavits from Rev. C. B. Ragsdale and P. JL Barber; tending to prove James Conley, a Negro, guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan, an employe of the factory of which Frank was superintendent. Frank is under sentence of death, awaiting the result of bis appeal to the supreme court, and Conley is serving time for complicity. Ragsdale testified that he had received |200 for swearing to an affidavit to the effect that he had heard Conley tell another Negro that he, Conley, killed the girl, and that Frank had nothing to do with it. Ragsdale added that Lehon had offered him 110,000 "if the thing comes out ail right." * Barber testified that Thurman had offered him 1100 if he would sign an affidavit that he also had overheard the alleged conversation between Conley and the other Negro.

She saw that it would be left for her to wind ap the interview and get out of the place without arousing too much much attention. With a selfpossession which astonished both men, knowing her immense interest In this matter, she laid down the stick, and, with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, remarked in an easy tone: "Well, it's curious! The ins and outs of a crime, I mean. Such a discovery ten years after the event (I think you said ten years) is very interesting." Then she sighed: "Alas! it's too late to benefit the one whose life it might have saved. Mr. Black, shall we be going? I have spent a most entertaining quarter of an hour." Mr. Black glanced from her to the sergeant before he Joined her. Then, with one of his sour smiles directed towards the former, he said: "I wouldn't be talking about this, sergeant It will do no good, and may subject us to ridicule." The sergeant none too well pleased, nodded slightly. Seeing which, she spoke up: "I don't know about that, I should think it but proper reparation to the dead to let It be known that his own story of innceenee has received this late confirmation." But the lawyer continued to shake his head, with a very' sharp look at the sergeant If he could have his way he would have this matter stop just where it was. , _^ • • • • • • • • "This is my daughter, Judge Ostrander; Reuther, this is the judge." The. introduction took place at the outer gates whither the judge had gone to receive them. Reuther threw aside her veil and looked up into the face bent courteously towards her. It had no look of Oliver. They were fine eyes notwithstanding, piercing by nature, but just now misty with a feeling that took away all her fear. He was going to like her; she saw it in every trembling line of his 'countenance, and at the thought a smile rose to her lips. With a courteous gesture he invited them in, but stopping to lock one gate before leading them through the other, Mrs. Scoville had time tq observe that since her last visit with its accompanying inroad of the populace, the.two openings which at this point gave access to the walk between the fences had been closed up with boards so rude and dingy that they must have come from some old lumber pile in attic or cellar. The judge detected her looking at them. "I have' cut off my nightly promenade," said he. "With youth in the house, more cheerful habits must prevail. Tomorrow I shall have my lawn cut, and it I must walk after sundown I will walk there." The two women exchanged glances. Perhaps their gloomy anticipations were not going to be realized. But once within the house, the Judge showed embarrassment '1 have' few comforts to' offer," said he, opening a door at bis right and then hastily closing it again. "This part of the house iMt as you see, completely dismantled and not—very elean. .Bat yon shall have carte blancfte to arrange to your liking one of these rooms for your sitting room and parlor. There is furniture in the attic and yon may bay freely whatever else la necessary. 1 don't want to discourage little Reuther.

A week, and Deborah Scoville had evolved a home out of chaos. That is, within limits. She had not entered the judge's rooms, nor even offered to do so. Later, there must be a change. So particular a man as the judge would soon find himself too uncomfortable to endure the lack of those attentions which he had been used to in Bela's day. He had not even asked for clean sheets, and sometimes she had found herself wondering, with a strange shrinking of her heart if his bed was ever made, or whether he had not been driven at times to lie down in his clothes. She had some reason for these doubtful conclusions. In her raxnbllngs through the house she had come upon Bela's room. It was in a loft over the kitchen and she had been much amazed at its condition. In some respects it looked as decent as she could expect, but in the matter of bed and bed clothes ft presented an aspect somewhat startling. The clothes were there, tossed in a heap on the floor, but there was no bed in sight nor anything which could have served as such. It had been dragged out Evidences of this were everywhere on the narrow, twisted staircase. A smile, half pitiful, half self-scornful, curved her lips es ehe remembered the rattettet she had heard on that, dismal night when she clung listening to the fence, and wondered now if it had not been the bumping of this cot sliding from step to step. Bnt no! the repeated stroke of a hammer is unmistakable. He had played the carpenter that night as wen as the mover, and with no visible results.' Mystery etm reigned in the house for all the charm and order she had brought Into It; a mystery which deeply interested her, aad which she yet hoped to solve, notwithstanding its remoteness from the real problem of her existence.

He was driving to tee Smsbury markets with a load of produce, and was passing through dense woods when he felt a heavy body land on bis wagon, followed by spitting and "meowing" that were hideous. Looking back, he saw two big balls of fire, the eyes of the largest catamount he bad ever seen. It mas pawing at the canvas cover he had over his load. With a revolver, the frightened farmer fired twice. At the discharge of the weapon the eat jumped and escaped in the darkaesa, M e n he arrived at the market two fat dressed chickens were missing.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS BOTHER AND USE SALTS *&. m T»k* a Glass of Oalts Before Breakfast If Your Back is Hurting or Bladder Is Irritated. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyses the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become aluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a duQ misery in the kidney region, sharp bains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue fs coated and when the weather iB bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. , To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore-breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes .and lemon juice, combined with llthia, and has been used for generations to flush and Stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

I bare endeavored to arouse 1¾ your minds a feeling of dismay at the Oioua&tot what yonbay*bees doing fn sending yc^r money to the mall order houses instead of apendtog your d ^ lam at homeland thereby helping your looal communities to prosper. tat unreetricted. terms I have charactertied the folly of helping big co^ porationa to profit at the expense of your local merchants. I have tried to show?ou the criminality, against yourself, your townspeople and your descendants, of scorning the prosperity of your own communities and deliberately working against the interests of your own towns by sending your funds to the city. I hare depicted the foolishness of buying from mall order houses when you can Obtain just as good or better merchandUe from your own local merchants and I have exposed the methods In vogue in at least one mail order concern. These articles have been addressed to those of you who live in the smaller communities and la the country— where you are compelled to rely on individual honesty among yourselves rather than on the pledges of men who do business with brass bands and "pages of newspaper advertising. Experience is the greatest and the best teacher and my experience has taught me that It is preferable to transact business with a man personally known, rather than with an undeflnable conoern without identity except as a corporation. In the big cities we are compelled to deal wholly with the latter, while in the smaller cities and towns you can meet the former face to face and do your business direct In buying and selling there is no dealer or merchant that does not know that the crooked deals come home to roost—therefore it is the better part yof discretion, as well as simple honesty, to give full value to a customer. The dealer In the small town cannot hide behind a corporate name or conceal himself In a private office from the customer who has been fooled. He must face the music in case be transgresses, and" he realizes that he must satisfy his customers or he will 4ose them. Honesty is bred in small commanities and le-fostered, while in large cities it is only too often lost sight of because, of the immunity that comes with-not Taeetmg the customer ia person. Clerks and other employees bear the burden of reproach and the "man Itstjsf gp" meet a* •YBsMMfiBi W m*' teas* of mail o r d e r M s p s s l l l ' case* of a complaint from a caltessfr the correspondent as a rule merely indicates a certain form letter. But In your own home town your merchant meets you face to face and he is always on the job. He can s* ways be found at his place of business and In ease of a complaint he is right there to see that yon are satisfied before yoa leave Us store. He wants to please yoa and he will try, sincerely, to Please yoa. He wants to bold your castom. ' Now isn't this a much better way to deal than to sead year money away to tin city? Isn't it much better, to deal with a mas in your own comma* nityvand pay him your money, rather send it away to the big mail order Jwase in the city, where it Ss treated^xajsUy tfke so many thousands of other- orders?

Why not let him do this ?or you? He is responsible. He will do the business in a satisfactory manner and probably give better service and more satisfactory treatment—probably a better value for you. /Live and let live is the motto that makes ths worV&jso around smoothly and peacefully tneo far as we mortals are concerned. l*et your local merchant live, by giving him the opportunity to make a dollar now and then, and yoa will be much better pleased with yourself as well as much more satisfied with some»of your purchases; Your local merchant is loyal—be and your local newspaper. Both occupy places that you cannot fill by any service through a mall of&er house, Think how you will miss them if you lose them. Of course they are so patient and BO apparent that you forget about them. You accept them as a matter of course, but, my good* ness, how you will, miss them if you find that you must do without them. > But it is such advantages as these that we are. all of us. inclined to fall to appreciate without having our at* tention called especially to them. But we ^must remember, ±e mail order houses have the merchants In the Bmall towns by the throat. They are waging a fierce battle for the supremacy, if the mall order houses win out it will mean the elimination of practically all of the country dealers and small town merchants. And when this happens you will find conditions much different Yon will then, when it is too late, discover the great value to you and the Inestimable convenience of having a merchant near by who can supply your wants without delay. But the mail order house sweeps on and on. It is grabbing up the dollars with increasing voracity. It is grinding the; country merchant down and down until he can hardly make a vigorous struggle for existence. I believe that these conditions can be helped, even if not wholly removed and done away with. I believe that there is a remedy for these conditions—a remedy that can be applied in every community, with success. It would mean a fight—a struggle that would cost some time and some work, but it would bring back the dollars to the country store. That It would be a success I am confident That It would win the battle for the country merchants, against the mall order houses, I feel sure. The fact is, right now, that the big city Is growing bigger and bigger year by year, while the small town Is growing less prosperous. It's the work of the mail-order concerns. They are milking the dollars away from home all the time. Stop it—that's the only way. Keep your money at home. That's the only remedy. Think it over.

A Neat Bank The little town of Gregory just west of this village possesses perhaps the best bank building and fixtures for a town of its size in the state. Even the bank frontage breathes prosperity be- j Wg built of a specially prepared stone resembling white marble. The interior walls are finished in oak paneling and soft toned frescoing. The counters and other fixtures are built of quarter-sawed oak giving an unusual solid j appearence, which is further carried out by safty-deposit boxes, a screw-door safe and a huge safety vault, the dimensions of which measure 9 ft. square. This vault has solid cement foundations with a tile finish and is absolutely fire and burglar proof. F. A. Howlett, the proprietor of this compact little bank, is a conservative business man and during the years he has spent in Gregory has built up not only a large banking business, but has at the same time won the confidence and good will of a large circle of people throughout the country.

Robert Walsh was the largest property owner in Port Huron and his brother, Patrick Walsh, of Detroit, now dead, also owned a great deal of business property here, which is now held by his estate. When Robert Walsh died in February, in 1914, he left an estate which was thought to have been worth close to a million, but which was appraised at about 1600,000. Robert Walsh left a will in 1398 in which he bequeathed the bulk of his estate to the Port Huron heirs, who are the children of his other brother, Thomas Walsh, also dead, and who resided in Port Huron. "• The total amount bequeathed to the Detroit heirs totals about 116,000. They brought suit to have the will s«t aside, alleging that undue influence was used on the part of the Port Huron heirs, and that Robert Walsh was suffering from senile dementia at the time the wtU was drawn and consequently he was not competent to draw a wfll and properly dispose of mis property. It developed during the trial that the first Walsh will had been drawn by the late O'Brien J. Atkinson and that in 1898 Mr. Walsh had John L. Black, now mayor of Port Huron, draw a second will which was copied from the Atkinson will with some minor changes. Two copies of this will were made, but only one was found and this is the one which was offered for probata and on which the contest was based. There was no evidence to show thai the other cop>-had been destroyed by Mr. Walsh. It was the contention of the Detroit heirs that they had been discriminated against and testimony introduced Indicated that there was bitter feeling between the Port Huron and the Detroit heirs.

London—It is claimed that it was at the command of the British admiralty that the Cunard liner Luaitania hauled down her British ensign and hoisted the Stars and Stripes in the Irish sea Saturday, according to developments Sunday. This information ~Ts contained in the following dispatch issued lata Sunday night by the press association under a Birmingham date. "Passengers from the Lusitania who arrived here Sunday state that when off the coast of Ireland the Lusitania received a wireless message from the admiralty that it was. to hoist the American sag. it did so and sailed under that flag to Liverpoo]." This announcement followed a statement by the foreign office justifying British merchantmen in using a foreign flag as a ruse to .escape capture by a belligerent and declaring It is no violation of international law to resort to such a rase. i No Protest Is Likely. Washington—It is very much doubted if the state department will take any action in the Lusitania matter beyond an inquiry as to the truth published reports and possibly a request for information as to what connection, if any. the British government had with the matter, or possible similar uses of the American flag in the future. It was made clear that the United States had no municipal law on the subject and there is no international law affording the basis for action in the present cirenmetance. Officials point out that this government will have no basis for protest to anybody unless congress sees fit to pans a law praacrfijing s penalty for rahins touching at American ports using the American flag without proper authority. It is said that there Is a general disposition to excuse the flying of a neutral flag by a merchantman for the purpose of avoiding capture of diatructlon at the hands of the enemy. Such use of a neutral flag does not, of course, entitle the vessel to any protection from the government the flag of which is so used and the vessel is likely to suffer more severely if her deception is discovered by the enemy. Will Not Seize Grain. Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, L. L —Positive assurance that grain imported from American will not be used for the German army or the German administration, were given by Vice-Chancellor Clemens Delbruech, in a statement Sunday to the correspondent of the Associated Press. He declared'the regulations under which imported grain was subject to sale only to municipalities of the grain monopoly organisation had 1-eea revoked by the bundeeratn, and announced the willingness of the gwvernment to entrust the sale of such grain to American organisations for the duration of the war. By this step, he said, the absolutely non-contraband character of such grain shipments would be established. TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES Little Rook, Ark.—Gov O. W.

Was her own uneasiness infectious? Was the child determined to share ner vigil? 8he would wait a little longer this time and see. Their rooms were over the parlor, and thus as far removed as possible from the judge's den. In her own, which was front, she felt at perfect ease, and it was without any fear of disturbing either him or Reuther that she finally raised her window and allowed the cool wind to soothe her heated cheeks. The moon emerged from scurrying clouds as she quietly watched the scene. Perched, as she- was, in a window overlooking the lane, she had but to mm jjsjr eyes from the double fence Symbol of sad seclusion) to light trees rising above that unspeak- •ravine, black with memories she felt strangely like forgetting tonight beyond . . . how it stood out on the bluff 1 it had never seemed to stand out more threateningly! . . . the bifurcated mass of dismal ruin from which men had turned their eyes these many years now! But the moon Wed it; caressed it; dallied with It, lighting up its toppling chimney and empty, staring gable. :' Spencer's Folly! Well, it had been that, and Spencer's den of dissipation, too! There were great tales—but it was not of these she was thinking, but of the night of storm—(of the greatest storm of which any record remained in Shelby) when the .wind tore down branches and toppled down chimneys j -when cattle were smitten in the field and men on the highway; and the bluff towering overhead, flared into flame,' and the house which was its glory was smitten apart by the descending bolt as by a Titan sword, and blazed like a beacon to the sky. This war Jong before she- herself bad come to Shelby; bat she bad been told the story >s© often that it was Quite vivid to her. The family bad been gone for months, and so no pity mingled with the excitement Not tOS ^ following day did the awful nature _ _ m_ it: tbe event break in its futi borrorj done.** upon tbe town. Among, the ruins, in 4 closet which the flames bad spared, they found hunched up in one corner tbe body of a man. In whoso seared throat a wound appeared which had kot been made by lightning or fire, Spencer! Spencer himself, returned, 4hey knew ntt-how, to die of this selfinflicted wound, in the dark corner of bis grand hot neglected dwelling. But as she continued to survey it the clouds earns trooping n* on$e mora, and tko vision was- wipe* euV and with it eti memos** save these of * The task was one she had long desired to perform. Giving Reuther the rest of,the work to do, she presently appeared before him with pail and broom and a pile of fresh linen. Nothing more commonplace could be imagined,- but to her, if not to him, there underlay this special act of ordinary housewifery a possible enlightenment on a subject which had held the whole community In a state of curiosity for years. She was going to enter the room which had been barred from public sight by poor Bela's dying body. The great room before her presented a bare floor, whereas on her first visit it had been very decently, if not carefully, covered by a huge carpet rug, The judge's chair, which had once looked immovable, had been dragged forward into such a position that he could keep his own eye on the bedroom door. Manifestly ehe was not to be allowed to pursue her duties unwatched. Certainly she had to take more than one look at the every-day implements she carried to retain that balance of judgment which should prevent her from becoming the dupe of her 6wn expectations. "I do not expect you to clean up here as thoroughly as you have your own rooms upstairs," he remarked, as she passed him. "And, Mrs. Scoville/' he called out as she slipped through the doorway, "leave the door open and keep away as much as posslblawfrom the side of the room where I have nailed up the curtain. I had rather not have thai touched." Not touch the curtain! Why, that was the one thing In the room she wanted to touch; for In It she not only saw the carpet which had been taken up from the floor, but a possible screen behind which anything might lurk—even his redoubtable secret "There is no window," she observed, looking back at the judge. "No," was his short reply. Slowly she set down her pall. One thing was settled. It was Bela's cot she saw before her—a cot without any sheets. These had been left behind In the dead negro's room, and the judge had been sleeping just as she had feared, wrapped in a rug and with uncovered pillow. This pillow was his own; it had not been brought down with the bed. She hastily slipped a cover on it and without calling any further attention to her- act began to make up the bed. Conscious that the papers he made a feint of reading were but a cover for hie watchfulness, she moved about in a matter-of-fact way and did not spare him the clouds of dust which presently roee before her broom. But the judge was impervious to discomfort He coughed and shook his head, but did not budge an inch. Before she had begun to put things In order the clock struck the half-hour. "Oh!" she protested, with a pleading glance bis way, "I'm not half nearer troeole—a mere prosttn* no-'picture sad There's another day to follow," he remarked, rising and taking a key from bis pocket r The act expressed his wishes; and be was proceeding to carry out her things when a Quick, sliding noise from the wan she was passing drew her attention and caused her to spring forward in an involuntary effort to catch a picture whieh had slipped its Cord and Was failing to the floor. A shout from the judge of "Stand aside, let me come!" reached her too late, She, had grasped and lifted the of black painted directly across tbe eyes. In recalling this startling moment Deborah wondered as much at her own aplomb as at that of Judge Ostran* der. Not only had she succeeded in suppressing all recognition of what had thus been discovered to her, but had carried her powers of self-repression so far as to offer, and with good grace, too, to assist him in rehghging the picture. This perfection of acting had Its full reward. With equal composure he excused her from the task, and, adding some expression of regret at his well-known carelessness in not looking better after his effects, bowed her from the room with only a slight increase of his usual courteous reserve. But later, when thought came and with It certain recollections, what significance the Incident acquired in her mind, and what a long line of terrors it brought in its train! It was no casual act this defacing of a eon's well-loved features. It ball a meaning—a dark and desperate meaning. It had played its heavy part In his long torment—a galling reminder dt—what? It was to answer this question—to face this new view of Oliver and the bearing it had on the relations she had hoped to establish between him and Reuther, that she had waited for the house to be silent and her child asleep. Unhappy mother, just as she.saw something like a prospect of releasing her long-dead husband from the odium of an unjust sentence, to be shaken by this new doubt as to the story and character of the man for whose union with her beloved child she wae so anxiously struggling! There was a room on this upper floor into which neither she nor Reuther had even stepped. She had once looked in, but that was all. Tonight— because she could not sleep; because she must not think—she was resolved to enter It Oliver's room! the Claymore inn when that inn was simply a tavern. Then she found herself looking into a drawer half drawn out and filled with all sorts of heterogeneous articles— sealing wax, a roll of pins, a penholder, a kBitO-ft £&&! 7 ¾ should ehe recoil again ai iaat" Nothing could be more ordinary than to find a knife in the desk drawer of a young man! The fact was not worth a thought; yet before she knew it her fingers were creeping towards this knife, had picked it up from among the other scattered articles, had closed upon it, let it drop again, only to seize hold of it yet more determinedly and carry it straight to the light The knife was lying open on her palm, and from one of the blades the end had been nipped, just enough of it to match— Was she mad! She thought so for a moment; then ehe laid down the knife close against the cap and contemplated them both for more minutes than she ever reckoned. The candle fluttering low in its socket roused her at last from her ah straction. Catching up the two articles which had so enthralled her, she restored the one to the closet, the other to the drawer, and, with swift but silent step, regained her own room, where she burled her head in her pillow, weeping and praying until the morning light, breaking in upon her grief, awoke her <£ the obligations of her position and the necessity of silence concerning all the experiences of this night.

A smother of dust—an odor of decay— a lack of all order in the room's arrangements and furnish fugs even a general disarray, hallowed, if not affected, by time—for all this she was prepared. But not for the wild confusion— the Inconceivable litter and all the other signs she saw about her of a boy's mad packing and reckless departure. There was an inner door, and this some impulse drove her to open. A small closet stood revealed, empty but for one article. When she saw this article she gave a great gasp; than oho uttered a low pshaw! and with a shrug of the shoulders drew back and flung to the door. But she It again. She had to. One ttvo in hideous doubt, without an effort to aday it She meat look at that amalt black article again; look at It with candle in hand; see lor herself that her tears were wtthnejt foundatloa; ^tbat a shadow had made the frtf*** on the wall Jslke setnrned to the elonet i ly» roinotajtfly raogsosd the door.

Yet, after a few days, the constant self-restraint which it entailed ate like a canker into her peace and undermined a strength which she had always considered Inexhaustible. Reuther began to notice her pallor, and the judge to look, grave. She was forced to complain of a cold (and In this ehe was truthful enough) to account for her alternations of feverish impulse and deadly lassitude. The trouble she had suppressed was having its quiet revenge. Wes there no medium course? Could she not learn where Oliver had been on the night of that old-time murder? Miss Weeks was a near neighbor and saw everything. Miss Weeks never forgot; to Miss Weeks she would go. She had passed the first gate and was on the point of opening the second one, when she saw on the walk before her a small slip of brown paper. Lifting it, she perceived upon it an almost illegible scrawl which she made out to read thus: For Mrs. Scoville: Do not go wandering all over the town for clues. Look closer to home. And below: Tou remember the old saying about jumping from the frying* pan Into the Are. Let your daughter be warned. It Is better to be singed than consumed. Because Deborah's mind was quick it all flaefred upon her, bowing her in spirit to the ground. Reuther had been singed by the knowledge of her father's ignominy, she would be consumed if inquiry were carried further and this Ignominy transferred to the proper culprit. Oliver alone could be meant. The doubts she bad tried to suppress from her own mind were shared by others—others! In five minutes she was crossing the road, her face composed, her manner genial, her tongue ready for any encounter. The truth must be hers at all hazards. If it could.be found here, then here would she seek it Her long straggle with fate had brought to the fore every latent power she possessed. Miss Weeks was ready with her greeting. A dog from the big house across the way would have been welcomed there. The eager little seamstress had never forgotten her hour In the library with the half-unconscious judge. "Mrs. Scoville 1" she exclaimed, fluttering and leading the way into the best room; "how very kind you are to give me this chance for making my apologies. You know we have met before." "Have we?" Mrs. Scoville did not remember, but she smiled her best smile. 1 am glad to have you acknowledge an old acquaintance. It makes me feel less lonely in my new life." "Mrs. Scoville, I am only too nappy.** It was bravely said, for the little woman was in a state of marked embsrrassment Could It be that the viattor had not recognised her as the person who had accosted her on that memorable morning she flrst entered Judge OstraadcT's forbidden gates? (TO BS OONTOrDBD.) t* Although Canada's real start in national development as pointed out by the Buffalo Commercial, came slowly and late, as compared with that of the United-States, It is now well under way, and very soon there will be a marvelous expansion In agriculture, mining and manufacturing. The paper above mentioned says that "heretofore the development of Canada, like that of the United States, has been Westward, but unlike this country, the Dominion has a great territory to the North, which has been regarded as all but uninhabitable, but In which recent research has proven there are possibilities for development almost inconceivable." After making complimentary reference to the resources of the country tributary to the Hudson Bay, which will be opened up when the railroad now under construction 1B completed, the Commercial further says "there are those living today who will see our neighbor on the north a great and powerful nation, and a not insignificant industrial and commercial rival of the United States. The war may retard, but it cannot destroy, Canada's future. And in this expansion no one will more heartily rejoice than the people of the United States, because the prosperity of the^ Dominion is bound to Increase our own." Herein is the spirit that dominates the Dominion Government when it extends an Invitation to Americans to assist in developing the resources that Canada possesses, whether they be mineral, forest, Industrial, commercial or agriculture. Both countries will benefit, and the United States will be a gainer by having as a neighbor a country whose resources are as great and varied as are those of Canada. In comparing the United States along with other nations of the world in producing and Importing foodstuffs, the Agricultural Outlook published by the United States department of agriculture says: The United States In recent years has been as large an Importer of foodstuffs as exporter; therefore she cannot be classed as a surplus producer of foodstuffs. This is contrary to popular impression. It is true that she Is an exporter of certain articles, but she is an equally large Importer of other articles... In this classification tea and coffee are included with foodstuffs. In edible grains the production 1Q 23 per cent more than the amount retained; the production of meats Is six per cent more—that Is, exports of meat equal six per cent of that retained In the United States for consumption; the production of dairy products is 20 per cent more than consumed; the production of poultry is Just about equal to consumption; of vegetables, one per cent less. An Investigation into the production, imports and exports of food products of various countries indicates that England produces about 53 per cent of her food requirements, and imports (net) about 47 per cent; Belgium produces 57 per cent, and imports 43 per cent; Germany produces 88 per cent, and imports 12 per cent; France produces 92 per cent, and imports eight per cent; Austria-Hungary produces 98 per cent, and imports two per cent; Russia produces 110 per cent of her requirements, and exports an equivalent of about 10 per cent; Canada produces 23 per cent more than she consumes; Argentina produces 48 per cent more than she consumes; the United States produces practically no more than she consumes (i. e., exports and imports of foodstuffs almost balance). With this information before tbe reader, it Is not a difficult matter to direct attention to the fact that Canada stands In a pre-eminent position in the matter of grain and cattle production, and with a large territory yet unoccupied she will always main* tain it—Advertisement t & \3 t «S Outside the Pen.

K-' >..-.-.: .•• A N Incident extraordinary in Its curious significance occurred in the White House on April 14, 1866—Just 60 years ago. On that day President Lincoln told his personal bodyguard, William H. Crook, that he had dreamed of his impending assassination during three successive nights—those of April 11, April 12 and April 13. In recalling the occurrence Colonel Crook said he had never forgotten the shock which these words caused. "After the first shock caused by Mr Lincoln's words," said Colonel Crook, "my natural impulse was to make light of the affair, l was thea» a young man, strong, accustomed to daSi with practical matters and not inclined to place much importance on the intangible and mysterious. But now, 50 years after-, ward, I am willing to admit that Mr.' Lincoln's remark made me very uneasy. For one thing, the whole country was strained, anxious, distraught, notwithstanding the belief that hostilities soon were to end with a complete victory for the Union. "Much had been said and suggested about the possibility of the presidents assassination. As his personal bodyguard this possibility was always in my mind; and every moment when on duty I was constantly on the lookout for some sudden attack. It waa my business to see that Mr. Lincoln did not expose himself needlessly; and especially to see that no stranger approached him- with hands covered or concealed in any way. "When Mr. Lincoln told me that for the third successive time he had dreamed of being assassinated I said that in" my judgment farther and unusual measures should be undertaken .without an hour's delay for his protection. He looked at me in silence for a moment, a kindly smile in bis great, tired eyes, and then slowly shook his head. " Wo,' he said. If anybody is wicked enough to want to kill me we can do nothing to prevent it' •Possibly that is true, Mr. President/ I made bold to answer with ail respect, *stm the very knowledge of the feet makes me all the more anxious.'' - 'WelL Crook, wast do yea want to dor he said, tolerantly, so as not to hurt my feelings.

"finally I urged him to let me stay am dsty sad aesssaaaay him to the \ bat he weald aot hear of fUs " 'Good-by. Crook.' And he went into his own room, leaving me standing there in the corridor. "As tbe door closed after him his final words repeated themselves* to me, seeming to echo over and over again. What he had said was, Good by, Crook/ It was the first time he had ever used the words. Invariably when we parted for the night, he toseek rest in his own room, leaving me to pace up and down that corridor outi. 7>^ jK&Gc+uea * *? uTisyweyvV""*"* .Ide the president', apartment oc the J »'"«d ™ " 2 ^ ^ V J ?

"As I .turned to leave for my own little home, there to get what sleep 1 could, I wondered if Mr. Lincoln's.final words meant anything. By the time I had walked through-the White House grounds I tried to put them away aa being of no importance whatever. I tried to pull myself together, remembering that for a long time there had been widespread fears lest some murderer should succeed in getting near Mr. Lincoln. Of course, he knew of such fears and' possibly this knowledge had In some way recurred to him while asleep and had caused the thrice repeated dream. "It was not long after I bad left the White House for my own home on that fourteenth of April, 1865, when Mr. Lincoln started for Ford's theater. Within a few hours the world knew of the awful deed accomplished there. But the world did not know until aft* erward, in fact, the world at large may not know today, Just how Wilkes Booth was enabled to rush into the box where sat the president and* shoot him to death, although the Incident is mentioned in a volume of reooUeotions which I have prepared with a colleague, "The president's box, occupied by Mr. Lincoln's party that evening, waa not on a level with the stage.

He had spent nearly all his boyhood and youth in a small village in Maryland and after serving two years in the Union army had obtained an appointment to the Washington police force, with which he was -connected when called updb to act as Lincoln's bodyguard. It was on Thursday, January 5,1**5, that young Crook was in his home, near First and M streets, N. W„ oft duty and resting, when a fellow member of the police force called and asked to see him. Crook went to the door and wss told to report personally to President Lincoln at the White House, and to be there at precisely eight o'clock that same evening. "Of course I was surprised" said Colonel Crook, in speaking of the occurrence. "Shortly before eight o'clock that evening I walked from my home to the White House, went directly upstairs to the presWeaf * office sad told the door* keeper Just outside that I had been ordered to report to the president personally. He at once threw opes the door and 1 walked in. It waa then exactly eight o'clock, and there tor the A RICH MAN]S ROMANCE.

DART. Lying somewhat south of the gull stream, and sit, hundred miles or so off the Atlantic coast from Charleston, S. 0., is a group of several hundred islands known as the Bermudas. Storms seem to have been responsible for our early knowledge of these beautiful islands, which unlike most sections of the habitable globe, bave never known a war. Mark Twain once wrote of the place, "It is heaven, but hell to get there." For many years England used the Islands, for a convict eolony, but as the misuse of such a beautiful spot became apparent, the idea was abandoned, and as many of the convicts who chose to remain were granted pardons, and portions of land allotted to each one with which to make a fresh start, many of their descendants still own and cultivate .extensive lily and onion farms. - Today one can ride for miles along the country roads between fields «f pure white flowers, growing in such profusion (especially during April when the blossoms are at their best) that the ground is not visible—just masses of white and green. There are over two hundred farms, some of which are 30 to 40 acres, devoted exclusively to lily growing. Both tourists and natrves grow very tired of the heavy perfume of the flowers, which is often noticeable a mile away. The fragrance of a bunch of lilies, delicately scenting a room or church, is very different from the overpower' ing perfume exhaled from a large lily farm. There can be too much of a good, thing; for the odor of the onion, still raised there to some extent, often brings a welcome change. The natives are quite resigned to the heavy perfume, knowing that, acre for acre, growing the lily is three or four times as profitable as raising onions, potatoes^cr fruit It is bettered that lily bulbs were first brought- to - this country from Japan, by a maa named Harris, to which ooumtry they had been brought from their ancient native home, China.

Two men who sold Christmas toys in New'street stood at the rear of the stock exchange. One of them was devoting painful attention to the financial page of a morning newspaper. ~ "What are you looking for, Yustln?" asked his companion. "For a stock that sells for 50," Yustln replied. "Why do you want that?" "I sold a loafer of a broker, one of my mechanical dogs on Thursday an' he gave me a plugged half dollar. I know the feller. Now 1 will smartly buy a stock for 50 from him an' give him hack his bad money." "But suppose, YuBtin, he gives you a bum stock? You know them brokers." "Then we will be quits. 'Cause I sold him a bum dog." Yustin is a man of promise. He should stay In New street and establish there a class to teach his particular brand of high finance.—New York Evening Post An Unpleasant Subject.

He saw Kern first "I've read about you and followed you ever since you have been in public life," said the Elmwood man. "I've taken my political pabulum from you all these years. I've voted fpr you every time I had the chance. Will you lend me a dollar?- He got it The next day, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Washington correspondent, Kern came on the scene Just as Shively was leaving the Elmwood man. "Who is that?" inquired Kern. "Oh, a constituent of mine from Elmwood. "He's been a follower of mine throughout my political career and he voted for me whenever he bad tbe chance." "How much did* he borrow?" was Kern's -cruel query. "Fifty cents," replied Shively, with a slight upward turn of the eyebrows. "Well," drawled Kern, "that fellow is smarter than I thought he was. He can tell the difference between a dollar senator and a fifty-cent one." Forest Fires Destroy Millions.

Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price.

She hat been a great factor In the glory of our country, and her noble achievements should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship.

The malady in some respects resembles yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or wrongly, attributed to contact with an aeroplane, "dope," or to inhaling its odor. Further particulars need not at the moment be indicated, but it has been suggested that the source of the trouble may be amyl acetate, which is used as a "dope" solvent. Some mystery attaches to the affair, the precise nature of the malady not having yet been determined, In spite of close examination and analysis; and, of course, until success is attained in this direction no satisfactory precautions or remedy can be devised.

The judge and Mrs. Scoville meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the murder, she saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap.

'T have been told—" thus Deborah easily proceeded, "that for a small house yours contains the most wonderful assortment of; interesting objects. Where-ditf you ever get them?" "My father w a s ' a collector, on a very small scale of course, and my mother had a passion for hoarding which prevented anything from going out of this house after it had once come into i t " "My husband—" began Mrs. Scoville, thoughtfully. Miss Weeks stared in consternation at Mrs. Scoville, who hastened to say: "You wonder that I can mention my husband. Perhaps you will not be so surprised when I tell you that in my eyes he is a martyr, and quite guiltless of the crime for which he was punished." "You think that?" There was real surprise in the manner of the questioner. Mrs. Scoville's brow -cleared. She was pleased at this proof that her affairs had trot yet reached the point ' of general gossip. "Miss Weeks, I am a mother. I have a young and lovely daughter. Can I look in her Innocent eyes and believe her father to have so forgotten his responsibilities as to overshadow her life with crime? No, I will not believe v i t Circumstances were in favor of his conviction, but he never lifted the stick: which struck down Algernon Etherldge." Miss Weeks, who had sat quite still during the utterance of these remarks, fidgeted about at their close, with ' what appeared to the speaker, a sudden and quite welcome relief. "Oh!" she murmured; and said no more. It was not a topic she found easy of discussion. The sadness which now spread over the' very interesting countenance of her visitor, offered her an excuse for the introduction of a far more momentous topic; one she had burned to Introduce, but had not known'how. "Mrs. Sooyffle,- I hoar that Judge Ostrander has got your daughter % piano. That is really a wonderful thing for him to do. Not that he is so close with his money, hut that he has always been so set against all gayety and companionship. I suppose you did not know the shock It would be to him when you asked Bela to let you into the gates," , "No! I didn't know. But it is ah right now. The judge seems to welcome- the change. Miss Weeks, did you anow Algernon Ktheridge well enough to tell 'me if he was as good and irreproachable a man as they all e a y r "He was a good man. but he had a dreadfully obstinate streak in bis disposition mad very set ideas.

Mr. BtherMga wanted him to study fox^a professorship; bet the boy was determined to go into Jouraattsm* sad you see what a sfeoosss be has made of i t As a processor he would probably have bee* a failure,'' -Was this dMeteace of optnioa on IbeoalttavhoslMmMiiursuetae But Miss Weeks rather welcomed than resented this curiosity. Indeed, she was never tired of enlarging upon the Ostranders. "1 have never thought so. The judge would not quarrel with Oliver on so small a point as that My idea is, though I never talk of it much, that they had a great quarrel over Mr. Etherldge. Oliver never liked the old student; I've watched them and I've seen. He hated his coming to the house so much; he hated the way his father singled him out and deferred to him and made him the confident of all his troubles. When they went on their walks, Oliver always hung back, and more than once I have seen him make a grimace of distaste when his father urged him forward. He was only a boy, I know, but his dislikes meant something, and if it ever happened that he spoke out his whole mind, you may be sure that some very bitter words passed." x Was this meant as an innuendo? Impossible to tell. Such nervous, fussy little bodies often possess minds of unexpected subtlety. Deborah gave up all hope of understanding her, and, accepting her statements at their face value, effusively remarked: "You must have a very superior mind to draw such conclusions from the little you have seen. I have heard many explanations given t o r the breach you name, but never any so reasonable." A flash from the spinster's wary eye, then a burst of courage and the quick retort: "And what explanation does Oliver himself give? You ought to know, Mrs. Scoville." The attack was as sudden as it was unexpected. Deborah flushed and trimmed her sails for this new taesr, and insinuating gently, "Then you have heard—" waited for the enlightenment these words were likely to evoke. It came quickly enough. "That he expected to marry your daughter? Oh, yes, Mrs. Scoville; it's common talk here now. I hope you don't mind my mentioning it." Deborah"'a head went up. She faced the other fairly, with the look born of mother passion, and mother passion only. "Reuther is blameless in this matter/' she protested. "She'was brought up in ignorance of what I felt sure would prove a handicap and misery to her. She loves Oliver as she will never love any other man, but when she was told her real name and understood fully what that name carries with it, she declined to saddle him with her shame. That's her story, Miss Weeks; one that hardly fits her appearance, which is very delicate. And, let me add, having once accepted her father's name, she refuses to be known by any other. I have brought her to Shelby where to our own surprise and {leather's great happiness, we have been taken in by Judge Ostrander, an act of kidness for which we are very grateful. " Miss Weeks got np, took down on* of her rarest treasures from an old etagere standing in one corner and laid it in Mrs. Scoville's hand. "For' your ^daughter," she declared. "Noblejgiri! I hope she will be happy.** The mother was touched, but not quite satisfied yet of the giver's real feelings towards Oliver, and, after thanking her warmly, remarked: : "There is but one thing that will ever make Reuther happy, and that she cannot have unless a miracle occurs. Oh, I do not wonder you smile. This is not the day of miracles. But if my belief in my (husband could be shared; if I should be enabled to clear his name, might not love and loyalty be left to do the rest? Wouldn't the Judge's objections, in that case, be removed? What do you think. Miss Weeks r "There! we will say no more about It* The little woman's attitude and voice were almost prayerful. "You have judgment enough for two. Besides, the miracle kasnsot happened." she interjected, with a smile which eeomod to say K never would. Deborah sighed. Whether or not ft was quite an honest expression of her feeling we win not inquira She was there for a definite purpose and her wayjto It was, as yet, far from plain- Tbe negative with which she followed up this .sign was one of sorrowful anospuara She however, to qualify It given up an hope. I light upon fresh evidence. And where am I to get that? Only from some new witness." Miss Weeks' polite smile took on an expression of Indulgence. This roused Deborah's pride, and, hesitating no longer, she anxiously remarked: "I have sometimes thought that Oliver Ostrander might b© that witness. He certainly wats in the ravine the night Algernon Etherldge was struck down." Had she been an experienced actress of years she could not have thrown into this question a greater lack of all Innuendo. Miss Weeks, already un der her fascination, heard the tone but never thought to notice the quick rise and fall of her visitors uneasy bosom. and so unwarned, responded with all due frankness: "I know he was. But how will that help you? He had no testimony to give in relation to this crime, or he would have given it." "That is true." The admission fell mechanically from Deborah's lips; she was not conscious, even of making it Then, as her emotion choked her into silence, she. sat with piteous eyes searching Miss Weeks' face, till she had recovered her voice, when she added this vital question: "How did you know that Oliver was In the ravine that night? I only guessed it." "Well, it was In this way. I do not often keep my eye on my neighbors (oh, no, Miss Weeks!), but that night I chanced to be looking aver the way just at the minute Mr. Etherldge came out, and something I saw in his manner and in that of the judge who had followed him to the door, and in thr.t of Oliver who, cap on head, was lean ing towards them from a window over the porch, made me think that a controversy was going on between the two old people of which Oliver was the object This naturally interested me, and I watched them long enough to -see Oliver suddenly raise his fist and shake It at old Etherldge; then, In great rage, Blam down the window and disappear inside. The next minute, and before the two below had done talking, I caught another glimpse of him as he dashed around the corner of the house on his way to the ravine." "And Mr. Etherldge?" "Oh, he left soon after. I watched him as he went by, his long cloak flapping in the w4nd. Uttle did I think he would never pass my window again." So interested were they both, that neither for the moment realized the strangeness of the situation or that it was in connection with a crime for state the task "Was the Difference of Opinion the Cause of Oliver's LeavingV . ^ which the "husband of one of them had suffered, they were raking up this past, and gossiping over its petty details. Mrs. Scoville sighed and said: ' I t couldn't have been very long after you saw him that Mr. Etherldge was struck?" "Only some twenty minutes. It takes Just that long for a man to walk from this corner to the bridge." "And you never heard where Oliver w e n t r "It was never talked about at the time. Later, when some hint got about of his having been in the ravine that night, he said he had gone up the ravine, not down i t And we ail believed him, madam.'* "Of course, of course. What a discriminating mind you have, Miss Weeks, and what a wonderful memory! To think that after an these years you can recall that Oliver bad a cap on h a head when he looked out of the window at his father and Mr. Btharidga. If you were asked* I nave no doubt you ooeid tell Its very color. Was It the: peaked o n e f "Tea, I could swear te it,- And Jffeeks save a UtUe laugh, which sounded incongruous enough to Deborah, in whose heart at that moment a leaf was turned upon the past, which left t h e future hopelessly blank. "Must you g o ? " Deborah had risen mechanically. "Don't, I beg, till you have relieved my mind about J u d g e Ostrander. I don't suppose that t h e r e is really anything behind that door o- h i s which it would alarm any one to s e e ? " Then, Deborah understood Miss Weeks. But s h e was ready for her. "I've never seen a n y t h i n g of t h e »Oit," said she. "and I make up his bed in that very room every jnorning." "Oh! And Miss W e e k s drew a deep breath. "No article of immense value, such as t h a t r a r e old bit of real Satsuma in the cabinet over t h e r e ? " "No," answered Deborah, with all the patience she could muster. "Judge O s t r a n d e r seems very simple In Lis tastes. I doubt if he would know Sats u m a if he saw it." Miss Week' sighed. "Yes, he h a s never expressed the least wish to look o \ e r my shelves. So the double fence means nothing?" "A whim," ejaculated Deborah, making quietly for the door. "The judge likes to walk at night when quite through with his work; and he doesn't like his ways t o be noted. But he prefers the lawn now. I hear his step out t h e r e every n i g h t " "Well, it's s o m e t h i n g to know t h a t he leads a more normal life than form e r l y ! " sighed t h e little lady as she prepared to u s h e r her guest o u t "Come again, Mrs. Scoville; and, if 1 may, I will drop in and see you some day." Deborah accorded her permission and made her final adieux. She felt as if a hand which had been stealing up her chest had suddenly gripped her throat, choking her. She had found the man who had cast that fatal shadow down t h e ravine, twelve years before. CHAPTER X. Anonymous Letters. Deborah re-entered the judge's house a stricken woman. She reached her room door and waa about to enter, when at a sudden thought she paused and let her eyes wander down the hall till they settled on another door, the one she had closed behind her the night before, with the deep resolve never to open It again except under compulsion. A few miiutes later she was standing in one of the dim corners of Oliver's musty room, reopening a book which she had taken down from th shelves on her former visit She remembered it from its torn back and the fact that it was an algebra. Turning to the fly leaf, she looked again at the names and schoolboy phrases she had seen scribbled all over its surface, for the one which she remembered as, "I hate algebra."

And again, the two cases were not equal. Her husband hsd had traits which, in a manner, had prepared her for the ready suspicion of people. But Oliver was a man of reputation and kindly heart; and yet, in the course of time this hsd come, and the question once agitating her as to whether Reuther was a fit mate for him and now evolved itself into this: Was he a fit mate for her?

Soon after victory had declared it* self in favor of tbe British arms at the memorable battle of Blenheim the Duke of Marlborough, in traversing the ranks, observed a soldier leaning in a pensive manner on the butt-end of his musket His grace immediately accosted aim thus: "Way so aeasrva, my friend, after so gtorlou* a vtetoryr I t may be glorious," replied the soa of H a n , "be* I have oaly earned fonrpenoe by ooatribetlag to an thmaoquJsttioa of faaaar If cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs" A laxative today savea a sick child tomorrow.

Im- No Trouble H n Caused Greater Difference of Opinion as to Nature and Cause Than "Leaf-Roll"— 8ymptom» Vary Greatly. (By N. ORTON.) No plant disease in this generation has been the eubject of such general discussion as that known in Germany aa the "Blattroll-krankheit," herein named "leaf-roll." None has aroused greater difference of opinion as to Its nature and cause, and no other malady of plants Is today receiving so much inita resultant deformation of the plant The duration of life of the plant Is shortened fay leaf-roll. This is a relative matter, since the leaf-roll cases may die earlier, as would be expected of sick plants. The true leaf-roll is inheritable. The tubers from diseased plants produce diseased progeny, as a general rule. This affords a means of distinguishing from the genuine leaf-roll those temporary conditions which give rise to a similar appearance of the plants. All those who are best acquainted with the trouble agree as to the results of planting diseased seed stock. This point is one of capital importance in the control of the disease and oi great interest in its bearing on the nature of the disease. That leaf-roll is not communicable from diseased to healthy plants is the conclusion to be drawn from all available evidence CONVENIENT IN THE APIARY Brush Made of Manila Rope Is Handy for Cleaning Comb* of Bees— Tool Box Is Useful. Comparison of Healthy and Diseased Hills of Same Varieties. vestigatlon by skilled pathologists as this. Possibly no disease which has appeared since the forties presents a greater menace to potato culture. The literature on leaf-roll has become so voluminous that few will undertake to peruse all the contributions. Leaf-roll is a disease characterized by an upward rolling of the leaves, by a decreased yield of- tubers, and by transmission of the diseased condition through ubers planted. Its symptoms vary so much in detail that they can be most clearly outlined by separate treatment. The rolling of the leaves is the most constant and conspicuous symptom of this disease. The leaflets curl or roll upward on their midrib, often assuming a nearly tubular shape, and giving a plant a starving appearance. This rolling is sometimes restricted to the Upper leaves, while in other cases all or nearly all of the leaves may exhibit It. This type of roll is distinct from the curly-dwarf condition, but a very similar roll may be induced by other causeB. The color of the foliage changes with the advent of leaf-roll, but these color symptoms vary greatly, from cases where the leaves, assume an unhealthy, light-green cplor to those marked by pronounced yellowish, reddish or purplish tints. The effect of leaf-roll on, the plant is to check development. There is a lessening or cessation of growth. The shoots remain short and the leaves Upper Illustration Shows Yields of Healthy and Diseased Hills Caused by, Curly-Dwarf, l o w e r Illustration 8hows Yields of Diseased and Healthy Hills Caused by Leaf-Roll. stand more upright. There is, however, no such shortening.of stems and leaf ribs as occurs in curly-dwarf, with OYSTER-SHELL BARK LOUSE I have several little conveniences that I use in my apiary, one of which is a brush for clearing the combs of bees, writes B. A. Manly of Milo, Iowa, in Bee Gleanings and Culture. Take a round stick, 16 inches long, and with a rip-saw divide it for about nine Inches, leaving the other end for a handle. Take a piece of one-Inch man 11a rope six inches long, and with the strands All the opening in the stick, allowing them to project on both sides of the stick. At the end secure it with bee wire and Becurely nail the stick with one-inch brads. This makes the best brush I have seen, and is almost indestructible. Another convenience is my covered hive seat and tool box. My hive seat is 14 by 16, with a pocket on each end 6 by 14. These pockets come within an inch of the top, and a cover is made to telescope over the seat and rest on the top of the pockets. Under the seat I have my smoker fuel; in one of the pockets my Bmoker, and DOWN TO BASE OF SUPPLY Manager of &ujkpiy Company Forced to a Compromise With Receipt of Large Order. The tea companies were fighting each other for the trade of the town. ^The Be* Tea company gave premiums with each pound of tea, while the Qee Tea company did a o t The result was that the latter concern waB being pushed to tile wall. Finally the Qee Tea people realized that they must give premiums. So, after careful consideration, they decided to give a quart of milk with each pound of tea. Business picked up at once. "I understand you give a quart of milk with each pound of tea," said a lady one day. "Quite right," answered the manager. "Well, I'm Mrs. Ketchem of Holdem & Starvem. We operate a string of ten boarding houses here. I want 150 pounds of tea. Do I get 150 quarts of milk?" "Why—er—I think so," stammered the manager. "Will you wait till I go back and look over the supply?" In a minute he came hack, "Madam," he whispered, "I have figured up and I find that if you will take 200 pounds of tea we can give you a cow." At Last It's Reached. Father Vaughan tells a good story of a certain minister who was preaching on "Perfection." "Did you ever know anyone to be perfect?" he asked. "Did you ever read of any man or woman who was quite perfect?" As he paused and looked around among his audience, a pale-faced woman rose up and said: "Yea, from all accounts, my husband's first wife was perfect." Bee Brush Made of Rope. in the other my tools.

What piece of machinery is more convenient and useful on the farm than the low-wheeled truck? In hauling about the farm this is the wagon to use 99 times out of a 100, because it is handy. There Is nothing that beats it for hauling fodder, hay—anything, in fact, where help is scarce, especially the green corn for the silo. The ease of loading onto the low truck and getting on and off saves time and obviates danger of getting hurt A tight platform wide enough for hay rack answers for any kind of load on the farm. This can have a slanting, slatted front and rear which makes a convenient rack for hauling hay or fodder and does not lessen its convenience for other uses. Now Is the time to buy such things and have them ready for use, though this kind of wagon is an everyday necessity, practically. Pruning Is Essential. All kinds of fruit trees require be pruned more or less. Look Years Younger! T r y Grandma's Recipe of 8age and 8ulphur and Nobody W i l l Know. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You will gei a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

German*. James W. Gerard, to a conference at the German eastern military headquarters, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from The Hague. It is presumed that the kaiser wishes to discuss personally with Ambassador Gerard the American note regarding the German admiralty's sea war zone proclamation. An earlier dispatch from Berlin said that Ambassador Gerard conferred with the German foreign secretary, Herr von Jagow, for more than an hour Saturday evening. In many quarters it is supposed that one of the chief purposes of the informal conference with Ambassador Gerard is tt elicit from the American government some understanding as to its position regarding shipments of conditional contraband designed to Germany's civilian population. Inasmuch as the German sea war zone proclamation is declared as a retaliatory step against the Allies because of the alleged interference by the latter with shipments of foodstuffs destined for the population of Germany, the growing importance of this question was admitted on all sides here. There is every reason to believe that it will be one of the chief pdtnts made by the United States in its next communication to Great Britain on the subject of contraband.

Valentine Social Long ago when the country was uew, a housewife might have unexpected company of an evening which she had not planned on or expected. However, being noted for her hospitality, the assembled company was waited on, perhaps in not a very dignified way, but in the very best manner possible under the circumstances. Such was the situation at the Valentine Social at the opera house last Friday evening. The crowd was so much larger than was planned for that unavoidable difficulties occared when it came time to wait [on the guests, but the guests senj sing the situation, took a jolly view of it and helped out by being generally agreeable. Sometimes children become unruly at socials and do things which perhaps their elders do not approve of, but which they are helpless to prevent, not knowing previously just what the youngsters are about- The little play, "Marrying Belinda" was excellent, the music, both instrumental and vocal is to be highly complimented.

One-third of these live in the rural districts. The law provides that when a pupil has completed the eighth grade in the rural schools his district must pay hia tuition not to exceed $20 to some high school Michigan selected by the pupil. Application for this tuition must be made by the parent or guardian on or before the fourth Monday in June. The Department of Public Instruction calls attention to these facts in order that parents may plan for their children for uext year. Send your boys and girls to high schooL Michigan has good high schools in every part of the state. But Erst of all, keep your child in school now, regularly, so that he will t*et thoroughly the work of the elementary grades. Saccess later io life is based upon a thorough mastery of the common branches. Brayton Placeway has returned to Michigan after an absence of about nine years w£ich time has been spent in roaming through nearly every land in Europe. Brayton is the son of Mrs. Arvila Placeway of this village-and is well known throughout this section. He was a member of Barnum and Bailey's circus which made a tour of Austria and Germany and of late has been Germany- English interpreter for a gas company in Gablonz, Austria. He was married last November to Franlin Johanna Plischke of Austria. His wife has never been to America and cannot speak onr language to any very great extent Mr. Placeway, as her teacher, has taught her the words which she would most frequently hear in an ordinary conversation, thus enabling her in a way to follow a simple line of talk, containing any of the words with which she has been made familiar. Perhaps her first impression of this country was t£e independent spirit of the people. So much of Mr. Placeway's conversation concerning the conditions in Germany is so very interesting that in the limited space we have to give onr article it is rather difficalt to make it a concentrated line of thought bat rather an interesting item here and there which we think will be of deepest interest to onr readers. The Germans subsist mostly on black bread, beer and little cakes which are known as "kucken." Coffee, rolls or semeles are also important articles of diet. For 4 either singly or collectively years Mr. Placeway has not known I their new home, even though they the taste of pie.

X \' '- al in New York, pie (good old Americas desert) was the first delicacy he devoured with keen delight Mrs. Placeway did not know the existence of such a food until her first taste in New York. Coffee, the poorest grade, is $1 per pound iu Germany, whQe for the best they pay as high as 12 American money value. The coffee is made of barley, instead of the coffee berry as in America.

A. Middleton, has been hailed by the M. A. C. Boys' and Girls' clubs department as the boy who can grow more corn to the acre than any other youth in Michigan. The "corn champion" was picked from among the 3,- 000 or 4,000 boys and girls who are members of the various state corn and potato growing clubs. His record is a yield of 219 3-4 bushels of cob corn to the acre. While the Flint boy has won the honors for being able to grow the most corn on an acre plot, a Moshervllle youth, Wendell Turner, has won the state title for being able to grow the best quality corn. His score is 85. Other boys gave the two champions a close run for the prires. Lester Swamlnger, of Ypsllanti, took second place for high yield with a record of 176 bushels to the acre; Carl Lambrath and Edward A. Smith, of Saline, tied for third honors with 160 bushels, snd Kenneth Sloan, of Burt won fifth place with 152 bushels. In the quality contest Milton Turner, of Mosherville, won second position with a score of 81.5, and Thelma Knight ,of Hanoxer, and Charles Morrico, of ShepardsviUe, tied for third with 81. Prize-winners for the complete project work, which included a general summing up of yield, quality, profit on investment and story of their efforts, were: First Charles Morrice; second, Harold Ray, Albion; third, Grant Winters, of Kewadin. An interesting feature of the conteats is the fact that among the 3,000 or so boys who competed the average yield of corn per acre was 99 bushels, while the average among the grownup farmers of the state is about 33 bushels. The average yield of potatoes among the boys was 224 bushels, against a state average for grownups of about half that figure. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST Rev. T.

AMERICAN SHIP IS SUNK BY MINE BOAT CARRYING COTTON TO GERMANY B L O W N UP IN NORTH SEA. CAPTAIN AND CREW SAVED Not Likely to Cause Complications As Laying of Mines Is Not Prohibited by International Law. Berlin, 'via London—The American steamship Evelyn, with a cargo of cotton for Bremen, Germany, struck a mine off Borkum island, in the North sea, Sunday, and sank. Her captain and 27 of her crew were saved. Borkum island is only about 40 miles from the mouth of the River Ems, which divides Holland from Germany. It is the most easterly of the West Frisian islands, which belong to Holland, and is directly north of the most easterly frontier of Holland. Apparently, the Evelyn was skirting the coast of Holland and intended to keep near the German coast on the way to Bremen in order to avoid possible mines. No Protest Is Likely. Washington—The United States government was officially advised Sunday night of the destruction of the first American vessel on the high seas since the outbreak of the European war. American Consul Fee at Bremen cabled that the steamer Evelyn and her cargo of cotton bound for Bremen had been "blown up at Borkum," just off the coast of Germany, but that the crew had been saved. The cause— submarine or mine—was not given in the dispatch. After a conference with President Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Ambassodar Page at London and Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to make an exhaustive inquiry as to the facts. It was practically conceded that if the cause of the accident was proved to be a mine, there probably would be no ground for diplomatic action by the United States, as the laying of mines is not prohibited by any international convention now in force. FIRST BLOW OF CAMPAIGN English Merchant Vessel Sunk By Submarine Without Warning. London—Without warning, a German submarine Saturday sunk the British steamship Cambank of Cardiff, by torpedo, off Amlwych bay, Wales, just after the Cambank had taken on a pilot to enter the harbor of Liverpool. The third engineer and two firemen were killed and another member of the crew was drowned while trying to enter*a lifeboat. The remainder of the crew escaped in boats. This is the first time the Germans have sunk an enemy commercial vessel without giving the men aboard time even to leave the ship. It is taken as the initial stroke in the relentless war Germany declared to begin on Britain's trade beginning February 18. While the Cambank was not an important vessel her sinking is regarded as momentous in indicating the intention of the Germans to carry on the destruction without warning of noncombatant vessels. General Hospital at Traverse City.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS THEN YOUR BACK HURTS Take a Glass of SaKt to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers You— Drink Lots of Water. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake "by flushlng the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from ttye strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dlzxlness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combtaed with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralise the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

A curious crowd of neighbors Invade the mysterious horn© of Judge Oatrander, county Judge and eccentric recluse, following a veiled woman who proves to be the widow of a man tried before the judge and electrocuted for murder years before. Her daugater is engaged to the judge's eon, from whom he is estranged, but the murder is between the lovers. She plans to dear her husband's memory and asks the Judge's aid. Deborah Scoviile reads the newspaper clippings telling the story Of the murder of Algernon Etherldge by John Scoviile in Dark Hollow,-twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Scoviile meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the murder, she saw the Bhadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The Judge engages her and her daughter Reuther to live with him In his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer, Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded in i t Deborah and Reuther go to live with the Judge. Deborah sees a Sortralt of Oliver, the Judge's son, with a lack band painted across the eyes. That <$> night she finds, in Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and -a knife with a broken blade-point. Anonymous letters and a talk with Miss Weeks increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was in the ravine oh the murder night. CHAPTER X—Continued. She had rather have died, nay, have bad Reuther die, than to find herself forced to weigh and decide so momentous a question. For, however she might feel about it, not a single illusion remained as to whose hand had made use of John Scoville's stick to strike down Algernon Etheridge. How could she have when she came to piece the whole story together, and weigh the facts she had accumulated against Oliver with those which had proyed so fatal to her husband? Deborah shuddered. Aye, the mystery had cleared, but only to enshroud her spirits anew and make her long with all her bursting heart and Shuddering soul that death had been her portion before ever she had essayed to lift the veil held down so tightly by these two remorseful men. But was her fault Irremediable? The only unanswerable connection between this old crime and Oliver lay In the evidence she had herself collected. As she had every intention of suppressing this evidence, and as she had small dread of any one else digging out the facts to which she only possessed a clue, might she not hope that any suspicions raised by her inquiries would fall like a house of cards when she withdrew her hand from the top* . pling structure? She would make her .first effort and see. Mr. Black had heard her complaint; he should be the first to learn that the encouragement she had re* ceive was so small that she had decided to accept her present good luck without further query, and not hark back to a past which most people had buried. "You began It, as women begin most things, without thought and a due weighing of consequences. And now you propose to drop It in the same freakish manner. Isn't that it?" Deborah Scoviile lifted her eyes In manifest distress and fixed them deprecatingly upon her Interrogator. Mr. Black smiled. The woman delighted him. The admiration which he had hitherto, felt for her person and for the character which could so develop through misery and reproach as to make her In twelve short years the exponent of an that was most at* tractive and bewitching in woman seemed likely to extend to her mind. '1 am reconciled simply from necessity," was her gentle response, "Nothing is more precious to me than Renther's happiness. I should but endanger it farther br raisins; false hopes. That is why I hare come to cry h a l f '"Madam, I commend your decision. But why should yon characterise your hopes as false, Jnst when there seems to be some justification lor thenar Her eyes widened, and she regarded him with a simulation of surprise, which interested without Impoatag "I do not understand "Hare yon Have you beard Mr. Stack took two or and folded tftdehsmsj plainly in sight, merited the doom accorded to John Scoviile. Your only reason for this— if you are the wojjhan I think you— lies in your fear of giving further opportunity to the misguided rancor of an irresponsible writer of anonymous epistles. Am I not right, madam V\ Beaten, beaten by a direct assault/ because she possessed the weaknesses, as welf as the pluck, of a woman. She could control the language of her lips, but not their quivering; Bhe cou'd raeet his eye with steady assurance, but she could not keep the pallor from her cheeks or subdue the evidences of her heart's turmoil. Her pitiful glance acknowledged her defeat, which she already saw mirrored in his eyes. Taking it for an answer, he said gently enough: "That we may understand each other at once, I will mention the person who has been made the subject of these attacks. He—" "Don't speak the name/' she prayed, leaning forward and laying her gloved hand upon his sleeve. "It is not necessary. The whole thing is an outrage." His admiration was quite evident It did not prevent him, however, from saying quite abruptly: "Men who indulge themselves in writing anonymous accusations seldom limit themselves to one effusion. I will stake my word that the judge has found more than one on his lawn." She could not have responded if she would; her mouth was dry, her tongue half paralyzed. What was coming? The glint in the lawyer's eye forewarned her that something scarcely in consonance with her hopes and wishes might be expected. "The judge has seen and read these barefaced Insinuations against his son and has not turned this whole town topsy-turvy! A lion does not Btop to meditate; be springs. And Archibald Ostrander has the nature of a lion. Mrs. Scoviile, this is a very serious matter. I do not wonder that you are a trifle overwhelmed by the results of your ill-considered investigations." "Does the town know? Has the thing become a scandal—a byword? Miss Weeks gave no proof of ever having heard one word of this dreadful business.' "That Is good news. You relieve me. Perhaps it is not a general topic as yet" Then shortly and with lawyerlike directness: "Look over these. Do they look at all familiar?" She glanced down at the crumpled sheets and half-sheets he had spread out before her. They were similar in appearance to the one she had picked up on the judge's grounds, hut the language was more forcible, as witness these: When a man ts trusted to defend another on trial for hit life, he's supposed to know his business. How came John Scoviile to hang, without a thought betas* given to the man who hated A. Btheridge like poison? I could name a certain chap who more than once la the old days boasted that he'd like to kill the fellow. And It wasn't Scoviile or any one of bis low-down stamp either. A hlfh and mighty name shouldn't1 shield a man who sent a poor, unfriended wretch to his death In order to save his own bacon. "Horrible!" murmured Deborah, drawing back in terror of her own emotion.

"Norer mind; well ter/* pursued he. *If you do not come her© you may expect to see me at Jvdge Ostrander a. 1 do not quite like the position into which you have been thrown by these absurd insinuations. It may even lead to your losing the home which uaa been so fortunately opened for you. If this occurs you may count on my friendship, Mrs. Scoviile. 1 may have failed you once, but I will not fall you twice." Surprised, almost touched, she held out her hand, with -a- cordial "Thank you," in which emotion struggled witb her desire to preserve an appearance of confplete confidence in Judge Ostrander, and incidentally ia his son. Then she turned to go. The lawyer appeared to acquiesce In the movement of departure. But when he saw her about to vanish through the door some impulse of compunction, as real as it was surprising, led him to call her back and seat her once more In the chair ehe had so lately left "I cannot let you go," said he, "until you understand that these insinuations from a self-called witness would not be worth our attention if there were not a few facts to give color to his wild, claims. Oliver Ostrander was in that ravine connecting with Dark Hollow, very near the time of the onslaught on Mr. Etheridge; and he certainly hated the man and wanted him out of the way. The whole town knows that, with one exception. You know that exception?" "I think so," she acceded, taking a fresh grip upon her emotions. "That thie was anything more than a coincidence has never been questioned. He was not even summoned as a witness. With the judge's high reputation in mind I do not think_a single person could have been found in those days to suggest any possible connection between this boy and a crime so obviously premeditated. But people's minds change with time and events, and Oliver ^strander's name uttered in this connection today would not occasion the same shock to the community as it would have done then. You understand me, Mrs. Scoviile?" "You allude to the unexpected separation between himeelf and father, and not to any failure on his part to sustain the reputation of his family?" "Oh, he has made a good position for himself, and earned universal consideration. But that doesn't weigh against the prejudices of people, roused by such eccentricities as have distinguished the conduct of these two men." "Alas!" she murmured, frightened to the soul for the first time, both by his manner and his Words. "You know and I know," he went on with a grimness possibly suggested by his subject, "that no mere whim lies back of such a preposterous seclusion as that of Judge Ostrander behind his double fence. Sons do not cut loose from fathers or fathers from sons without good cause. You can see, then, that the peculiarities of their mutual history form but a poor foundation for any light refutation of this scandal, should it reach the public mind. Judge Ostrander knows this, and you know that be knows this; hence your distress. Have I not read your mind, madam?" "No one can read my mind any more than they can read Judge Ostrander's," she avowed in a last desperate attempt to preserve her secret. "You may think you have done so, but what assurance can you have of the fact?" "You are strong in their defense," said he, "and you will need to be if the matter ever comes up. The shadows from Dark Hollow reach far, and engulf all they fall upon." CHAPTER XI. Changes. "Reuther, sit up here close by mother and let me talk to you for a little while." "Yes, mother; oh, yes, mother." Deborah felt the beloved head pressed close to her shoulder and two soft arms fall about her neck. "Are you very unhappy? Is my little one pining too much for the old dayer A closer pressure of the head, a more vehement clasp of the encircling arms, but no words. They were sitting in the dark, with jnst the light of the stars shining through the upper panes of the one unshaded window. Deborah, therefore, had little to fear from her daughter*! eye, only from the sensitiveness of her touch and the quickness of her ear. Alas, In this delicately organised girl theme were both attuned to the nicest discrimination, and before the mother ooeid speak Reuther had started up, crying: "Oh, how your heart beats! Something baa happened, darling mother; "Hash, Renther; it Is only this: I came to Shelby it was with a that 1 might some day smooth tie) way to your Hpgtaooa. Bat it only a wild dream, Renther; tor sse to tell joys are left as She felt the shudder pass through the slender form which had thrown itself again at her side; but when the young girl spoke it was with unexpected bravery and calm. "I have long ago done that, mamma. I've had no hope* from the first. The look with which Oliver accepted my refusal to go on with the ceremony was one of gratitude, mother. I can never forget that Relief struggled with grief. Would you have me cherish any further Illusion after that?" "Then you will not think me unkind or even untender if I say that every loving thought you give now to Oliver is hurtful both to yourself and to me. Don't indulge in them, my darling. Put your heart into work or into music, and your mother will bless you. Wont it help you to know this, Reuther? Your mother, who has had griefs, will bless you." "Mother, mother!" The next morning found Deborah pale—almost as pale as Reuther. Knowing its cause herself, she did not Invite the Judge's inquiries; and another day passed. With the following morning she felt strong enough to open the conversation which had now become necessary for her peace of mind. She waited till the moment when, her work all done, she was about to leave his presence. Pausing till she caught his eye, which seemed a little loath, she thought, to look her way, she observed, with perhaps unnecessary distinctness: "I hope everything is to your mind, Judge Ostrander. I should be very sorry not to make you as comfortable as is possible under the circumstances." Roused a little suddenly, perhaps, from thoughts quite disconnected with THEE ON WHEAT She Held Out Her Hand With s Cor dial "Thank You." those of material comfort, he nodded with the abstraction of one who recognizes that some sort of acknowledgment is expected from him; then, seeing her still waiting, added politely: "I am very well looked after, If that is what you mean, Mrs. Scoviile. Bela could not do any better—if he ever did as well." "I am glad," she replied, thinking with what humor this would have struck her once. "I—I ask because, having nothing on my mind but housekeeping. I desire to remedy anything which Is not In accordance with your exact wishes." His attention was caught and by the very phrase she desired. "Nothing on your mind but housekeeping r he repeated. 1 thought you bad something else of a very particular nature with which to occupy yourself." "I had; but I have been advised against pursuing It The folly was too great." "Who advised you?" The words came short and sharp, just as they must have come In those old days when he confronted his antagonists at the bar. "Mr. Black. He was my husband's counsel, yon remember. He says that 1^ should only have my trouble for my pains, and I bare corns to agree with him. Reuther most content herself with the happiness of living under this roof; and I, with hops of contributing to your comfort" (TO BS CONTINUED.). Foay Pa, -He Is very popular with his wire of late." "And htm such a flirt How does he do t t r "She called him up the other day and said: *HeDo, da* ting,* and be reoognised her votes ami replied: Too have evidently ssada a The United States Wheat Production Admits ot TOO Million Bushels for Export. The talk In the press some little time back of placing an embargo OD wheat, brought forcibly to the miudi of the people of the United States a condition that may at some time in the near future face them. 100 million bushels of an export of whea' means a splendid revenue to the country as well as to the farmer, and if this were assured year after year, there would be reason for considerable congratulation. But last year's magnificent and abundant crop, which was estimated at 891 million bushels, cannot be expected every year. With a home consumption of 775 million bushels, and a production In many years of little more than this, the fact is apparent that at an early date the United States will have to import wheat. It will be then that the people of the United States will be looking to other markets for a supply. And it Is then that the value of Western Canada lands will be viewed with considerable favor. The great area of wheat lands in Canada will then bo called upon to provide the greatest portion of the old world's supply, and also, in the opinion of the writer, that of the- United States as well. At present -there are only about 12 million acres of these lands producing wheat. There are five times that many acres that can be brought under successful cultivation. Apart altogether from the value of these lands as wheat producers there Is an increased value to .them from the fact that the soil is especially adapted to the growing of many other kinds of grain as well as all manner of cultivated grasses, while the native grasses are a wonderful asset In themselves. The climate is especially favorable to the raising of live stock, such as horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. All these bring into the limelight the adaptability of the soil, the climate and all other necessary conditions, to the carrying on of dairy farming, in a most profitable way. There is no question„_. that_ high prices for all that the farmer can grow or raise will continue for some yeans, and this 1B the great opportune time to take advantage of what Western Canada offers. Lands may be had r a free grant. These are mostly It, cated some little distance from railways at the present time, but soone' or later will be well served by rai ways that are projected into these districts. Land may also be secured by purchase at reasonable price, and on easy terms from holders of same. In many cases farms partly improved may be rented. A Winnipeg paper said recently: "Canada wants American immigrants. They make good Canadian citizens." And then speaking of the erroneous impression that has gained some publicity in a portion of the United States press, says: "It cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the American mind that tn coming to Canada they place themselves un- *.er the freest democracy the world knows. No citizen of this country, whether native or naturalized, can be compelled to military service. The only compulsion is the compulsion of conscience and patriotic duty. That Is the motive that has prompted thousands of Canadians to offer their lives. They are fighting as free men."—Ad« vertisement. To Develop Fishing Industry. To control the fishing industry as far as possible, the government of New South Wales has decided to bay a number of North sea trawlers. It Is* moreover, proposed to build others of the same type at Sydney. A fleet of 50 vessels is the ultimate aim of the authorities. In this way it Is hoped to lower the prices charged by private firms. It cannot be said; however, that the experience of other Australian states in .the matter of government-owned enterprises has been a success. More than one, in mot, has been abandoned with heavy loos to their promoters. A Quibble. "He escaped with a quibble- Be got off with a quibble."

A bill has been introduced in both the house and senate to close all grocery stores and meat markets on Sunday. Here is hoping it will become a law. There is no more reason for keeping a meat market or grocery store open on Sunday than there is for running a grist mill or any other business. A new Ford story.

Allen of New York City informs as that himself and wife are spending a few weeks at the Bermuda Islands. He says that it is 80 in the shade there and that flowers are in bloom everywhere. He wishes to be remembered to his many old home town friends. Over at Blissfield, the threshers of that locality have joined together for the purpose of raising the price for threshing work, holding that the increased price of grain entitles them to a share in the prosperity. T i e new schedule is: oats He, wheat 4c, and set jobs $fi, clover seed $1.25 and 4c for corn. This action wag taken at a meeting'of the threshers held at that piace recently. There is a bill before the legislature for the division of the state ' into 3() districts over which 30 physicians shall have supervisiou at a salary of $3,500 each, with an expense account added that shall not exceed $1,000 for each district. Tt would hardly seem that such a bill will meet the approval of the legislature, aud we are absolutely sure the taxpayers will think it unnecessary the spread of disease. This is as it should be. However, it often happens that the closing of school is not the best practice. To close school and premit the children to run the streets is no preventive of contagion; it is rather a certain means of spreading it. Except in case of general epidemic it is advisable to merely exclude from school the children affected, have the school building thoroughly disinfected and coutinue school work as usual. The closiug of the schools of a whole city for weeks when it is not imperative means a loss which should be avoided. t\s the R e s u l t of t h e Dispatch Campaign S t a r t e d bast W e e K We are glad to say the farmers are falling in with the idea of naming their farms as suggested in the Dispatch last week and quite a large number have notified us by phone or otherwise of the name they have selected There are some farms that have been named for some time and in this issue we publish the name and owner cf each farm whether named during the past week or previously.

In recent years the department of agriculture has distributed many thousands of cuttings' in different parts of the country, and although in many instances the experiments have been failures, there is no longer any doubt that willows can be grown everywhere except In arid and semiarid regions, at high altitudes, and In some portions of the South. Commercially, they are now grown only In a few areas, notably In New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio. They may, however, prove a remunerative crop. Estimates published in Farmers' Bulletin No, 62?, "Basket Willow Culture," Indicate that an average annual net profit of from $84 to $89 an acre may be expected. In selecting a site for a willow holt, the first consideration is moisture. Water should be within from two to six feet of the surface, and the supply constant and sufficient. It is better, however, to select a site which may be too dry, rather than one which may be too wet. Where the moisture conditions are favorable basket willows will grow on a wide range of soils, although they do best In a loose, sandy loam. Excessively acid or excessively alkaline soils should be avoided. It Is desirable, too, that the wind have free access to the holt, since this minimizes the danger from Insects. The neighborhood of large areas of weeds Is also undesirable, for it Is difficult at best to keep the holt clean. For this reason it 13 advisable that holts be established on land which has been previously cultivated. Many failures, It Is said, are due to lack of proper preparation of the ground. If possible, a previous crop of corn or potatoes should be planted. Late in the fall the land should then be plowed and left to weather during the winter. All basket willow holts are started from cuttings from shoots or branches. Since the plants last from £kA&&r xax&? AT WORK celve the cuttings, never deeper than necessary. A sharpened iron rod is perhaps the best implement for making a hole. The point should be abrupt rather than long, since otherwise the space at the bottom would be too narrow for the cutting and an open air space would be created underneath the plant Spacing, a matter of Importance which depends largely upon the variety of willow planted, is discussed In some detail in Farmers' Bulletin 622, which will be sent free upon application. The bulletin also describes in de- TO RUN MOTORS BY GAS COKE Inoffensive Fuel, According to Figures, Is Only One-Third Cost of Paraffin. In view of the high and increasing cost of motor spirit special interest attaches to an experiment of the National Steam Car company, which has placed upon the streets of London a motor omnibus adapted to use ordinary gas coke as fuel, Instead of paraffin, says the Times of that city. The omnibus is equipped with a new form twelve to fifteen years or longer,"the f °* m u l t i t u b u l a r boiler, and it Is claimed | best stock Bhould be selected for this purpose. Of the many varieties, only the American green and the patent Lemley or Lemley should be selected. These require less cultivation than the purple willow, are easily peeled and bring good prices. * Where euttfngs are purchased, the prices should range from one dollar =per thousand for ten-tnch cutting* to 4 v e dollars per thousand for two-year* -old 14-inch cuttings. For less than •one thousand the prices are frequently much higher. Many persons, how- •aver, have begun the cultivation of willows with a few hundred cuttings, and hare gradually enlarged their holts as their supply and knowledge both Increased. The better the physical conditions the less necessary It It to hare large cuttings, but under any circumstances two-year-old planting stock makes a thriftier growth at first than cuttings from one-year-old •hoots. The best time to plant is very early \ ous performance of the y tn the spring, wb«n the weather Is eoei;'tkt toll moist and the cuttings show n e a t *T aay growth. When set tatfcatr hoiee tht cuttings should not nrotmss mors than two Inches abort of the groottL The holes jhtnH bt beftty large enough t o rt> that the running costs of the gas 1 coke are one-third the cost of paraffin. The vehicle carries enough coke for a 60-mile Journey and the consumption per mile Is four pounds of coke and one-half gallon of water. The roar, flame and smell which are sometimes associated with steam motors are obviated In the coke motor. Prolonged, tests were carried out by the chief commissioner of metropolitan police before the new type was accepted for servioe, and since It has been running careful observation has been kept The omnibus chassis Is constructed without a chimney, but a chassis with chimney has been designed for commercial cars, which work under less stringent conditions than those of the omnibus service. The Dewar trophy was awarded to the company by the Royal Automobile club, which regarded the National coke motor trial as the most merltorV Ho trenching. T h e war Is affecting everybody." T e s r "I heard of a mflHonaJTS yesterday who need to employ Ive ehaeCoere. Now he has only fonr. tail the best methods of cultivating and harvesting the crop. The great trouble, it is said, Is the difficulty of obtaining the necessary labor for peeling. At times it is almost impossible to secure labor at any price, although the actual difficulties of peeling are comparatively few. The harvesting itself should cost approximately five dollars a ton, green weight. The demand Is extensive and varied and a large quantity of imported willow is being used in this country, although manufacturers, it Is believed, would prefer the American- grown if It could be obtained. There are many uses for the basket willow, fami|iar in Europe, which have not developed In this country as yet. It would seem, therefore, as though the industry might prove a profitable one for farmers who are willing to familiarize themselves with Jt. It must be remembered, however, that a certain amount of exact knowledge is required for success, and that a poorly managed holt rarely yields a profit, no matter how favorable the conditions may seem. DRAW WEALTH FROM FARMS Enormous Sum Annually Gathered In by Tillers of the Soil In the United States. From Farms in 1914 the United States produced a yield worth $10,000,- 000,000. Could cotton have been marketed as usual the total would have been close to half a billion more. Ten billion dollars representing honest work! Ten billion dollars untainted money! And going mostly into the pockets of the workers themselves, with little reaching the purses of labor exploiters. The beautiful thing about this great item of our national wealth, next to its cleanliness, is the fact that it can be increased indefinitely by a more general adoption of scientific agriculture. In fifteen years it has been doubled; and still, on our new soil, we farm only a third as effectively as do many foreign peoples on soil centuries longer in use. The forest, cut unwisely, is gone. The mineral, once mined, Is not renewable. But on hit broad acres the tiller of the soil can take and take again; and though he has to fertilise, the more he does it the more he earns. So, come war, come pestilence, come anything but continent- wide drought, here Is a broad base for our future welfare, upon which we can build expandJngly and securely The man with the hoe Is, indeed, the best hope of the future. Many Prefer Meat Prepared In a Casserole to That Broiled In the Regular Way. if you wish to stuff a flank steai use bread dressing; use it with vegetables and a small quantity of liquid in a casserole. If you do not own one (and you should in these times of high prices) use any tightly covered dish. Be sure it Is tight so the steatr cannot escape. Bread Stuffing.—Two cupfuls soft bread crumba, one-half cupful butter melted In on«Mthird cupful hot water or milk, one-quarter teaspoonful powdered sweet herbs or spiced poultry, seasoning, one beaten egg. Mix the Ingredients together thoroughly. The bread should be 24 hours old and taken from the center of the loaf. The seasoning is a matter of individual taste, so you can use the above quantities or suit your taBte. The egg may be omitted If the flank is to be eatea liot, but will slice better when cold if egg is used. Cracker crumbs give a drier stuffing. Spread your flank steak with above and roll tightly. Fry out some suet and then brown the flank so as to hold the Juices. Put in casserole, add little water and when half done season with salt Lnd pepper, chopped onions and plenty of fine minced vegetables or rice, whichever you may prefer. Tne flank is quite juicy, so you will need but little water. It lacks flavor, so the high spices and vegetables make up what the flank lacks. It is much better this way than broiled as regular steak. Hot-Water Chocolate Cake. Two tablespoonfuls butter, one cupful sugar, yolk of one egg, two tablespoonfuls cocoa dissolved in one-half cupful boiling water, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one-half cupful boiling water, one teaspoonful of baking powder, sifted with one and onehalf cupfuls of flour and one teaspoonful of vanilla.

Ttie ship they made the voyage on to harden yourself to it or starve. The Germ ana pursue intensive farming on small farms the largest of which are hardly more than three acres. A farmer with that amount of land is wealthy, according to their idea of this world's goods. The United States throws away, in her stock yards alone, enough food stuff to keep half the German nation. They are a very thrifty people, making use of every natural advantage which comes to band. A wage earner receiving a salary of 16.00 per week, American money, or 24 marks in German valuation is some 'pumpkin* in the old country. A foaa with a $10,000 fortune in this country would be equal to an American millionaire in Germany or Austria, as the Austrian valuation is five times greater than ours, II. American, being 5 Krone in Austria or equal to 4 Marks in Germany. They are a prosperous nation and yet are working on their farms and in their factories with no modern machinery to lessen the tediousness of their toil. The Germans are a sturdy nation, intensely patriotic and will fight to the last man for the preservation of their country. They are well drilled, every man. In fact every boy has to serve a given time under army discipline after he has reached a certain age. Even the street cleaner on the streets of Berlin is an officer and if he tells a passer-by to pick up a loose piece of rubbish from the streets he must either do as he is told or suffer arrest. A man must serve 12 yean in the army before he can become a member of the police fores. In fact no position of any value can be obtained throughout the whole German empire unless time has first been spent in the standing army. Russia, it is true, has held Germany back by mere force of numbers but they are not a powerful nation. The people are an oppressed people who are fighting because they are forced to fight by the Czar, not because they are loyal, free-hearted to their ruler, us is the case with the Germans. The Russians are even willing to drop their guns at the approach exception of lights at the masthead. As soon as night fell, even tne port-holes were covered with black paper. Every precaution had to be taken for fear of the ship being blown up by an enemy. The whole trip from Berlin to New York City cos! Mr. and Mrs. Place way about $700, the voyage alone costing them $126.00. Mr. Place way bad trouble in obtaining his pass-ports to leave the war infested country. His American citizenship papers which be always held to as to gold finally gained him his freedom Passports are being stolen from the maild that men may leave the country and not be forced into the turmoil of battle. Had not Placeway proved himsell unmis- Ukeably an American citizen, he would nave been held indefinitely by the enemy as an English prisoner of war. The reporters for the New York papers meet all the incoming boats from Europe, chancing to get fresh news from the war country and singled out Placeway at once because he was English sptakiog. He was offered $10.00 to answer their questions, but was too worn out after bis strenuous voyage to be interviewed. From rumors which he has heard, he thinks the war will terminate late this summer. No one can tell the outcome, as the powers at war are too evenly matched. Mr. Placeway has roamed from the Atlantic to the Pacific in America and toured nearly all of Europe but his loyality for Michigan has led him home for good. He has not yet decided what occupation he will now pursue, but he does know that Michigan will be his future home for all time.
