The citizens of this village were awakened about six o'clock Sunday morning by the startling cry of "fire." The blaze was in the home of H. W. Crotoot on Main Street. It was, bat a few moments before there were many willing hands there and by hard worn the house was saved although it seem* ed many time? as if the fire bad the start of them. There was no wind so that was in their favor and by catting out they managed to get at the seat of the fire and it was pat oat: Nearly everything bad been taken from the lower floor however as it looked as if there was no hope of saving the building. Jnst how the fire got started is "a mystery as there was no fire near the closet in the chamber where it scarted. The only tbonght is that there might have been some matches in some of the pockets of the clothing and to have been set off by mice, or it might have come from the chimney and have been smouldering for several hours as neighbors smelted tire the day before but could not locate it. Dr. W. J. Walsh, who sleeps in the- chamber, knew nothing of the fire until Mrs. Crofoot went up and found it all in flames and called him. A moment more and he would have made his escape out of the window. The flames were confined to the closet and one room so that the dam age was no* so great but that part of the house will have to be rebuilt. They were lucky to save any part of the building. Mr. and Mrs. Crofoot have the sympathy of the entire village as this is a bad time of the year to be burned out. We understand that they will occupy Mrs. Brokaw's house across the street until their own can be repaired. Mr. and Bits. H, W. Crofoot wish to thank their trie/ids and neighbors for their kindness and assistance daring their recent loss. Supt. N. J. Robinson of the schoolsr here entertained his friend Prof. Web* ber of Ohio. Mr. Webber is a specialist in history and taught the. classes here Monday and Tuesday. « *F-r; - sV':-V.- : -^-vV' We Have the Variety that Insures the Ea^y, Satiafactoiy Choice—The Field for Selection is the* Widest, The Prices are the Fairest, A Generous Assortment Full of Quality and Merit I "•*< ; T ~ T : "— "'—- — " " 1 You Want Satisfaction in.

Hawks delivered a tpimm W » mon. It was intended to receive members into the church that morning but the length ot the sermon and the fact that the Sunday school bad some arrangements to make regarding Christmas, it was postponed until next Sunday, Dec. 27. It is an impressive service and the pastor did ott want to be hurried in it. Let all remember it next Sunday. The Sunday school made their final arrangements for the Christmas tree to be held at the church Wednesday evening. The attendance was 102 and collection $204 There is one more Sunday this year, let u.* see that the record is good. At the close ot next Sundays session the 3.

Make bats, dresses, I care not what*" 8»e says it is a hard life which singers lead, and involves deprivations of what most people call pleasure. The voice and its care must have the first thought and the last, which means in fact that the singer is a slave to her precious voice. And yet, remarks the Indianapolis Star, all that Calve and her sister singers may say will not hinder one girl from striving to stand where they do if she has the ambition with any sort of a voice. Europe is not the only part of the world where earthquakes have been felt. From the grimly named Death Valley comes the announcement of a Berles of shocks there and in that vicinity, causing great consternation. Heavy bouIderB have been tossed about, miners have been thrown out of bunks, the. usually placid mules have been driven to a frenzy which caused • them to stampede and there have be*m general "ructions;' one result of which has been the fleeing of many miners to regions where Mother Earth shows leis df an antic disposition. No really serious harm is reported, but the upheavals, in connection wiht perturba- Hon^s elsewhere, would seem to show that there is a very lively and exten slve agitation going on in the world's interior. r.,. .r.

The trial of Frank P. Glazier, for criminal misuse of the funds of the *.tate whfle he was etate treasurer, is now fairly under way. The complete Jury was obtained shortly after 11 o'clock Thunsday mopping and Prosecutor Foster immediately started his opening address to the Jury, made up as follows: Fred. J.

Three of the talesmen had lost1 money through such failures, it was learned. These* taleamen were eaouaed. "Frank -P.* Glasler deposited state money in his own hank at Chelsea,-' that he-might secure .control of - the. funds and use ihem for his private ends," said Foster, in his opening statement. The prosecutor traced the methods used by Glazier to secure the funds, and tnming to where Glazier sat immobile with hi» wile, pointed his finger at the respondent and said: t "When Glazier turned over the office of state treasurer he.turned over with it a deficit in the state treasury and 'the deficit still exists." Continuing, the prosecutor told of Glasier's private business ventureis ami of the methods whereby he had run through large sums of money, making the state eventually the loser. Glazier's banking methods come in for. an arraignment at the hands of the prosecutor, who said the prosecution would expect to show that Glazier had no right to deposit state funds in his own bank at Chelsea, but had deposited over $000,000 of such funds, in that institution. Just before the failure, Glazier was a stockholder and director in the bank, owning over 600 share* of the bank stock; was president of the bank and chairman of the discount committee and reaped a p rsonal benefit by the state funds being STATE NEW& SRiEFS..

The time appears ripe, says the Jersey City Journal, for legislative action on the part of the differentiates to curb the sale of deadly weapons to people who, by reason of their temperaments, ought not to be permitted to carrjr concealed implements of murder. The sale of darning cottan is falling off, and the local manager of a big New York dry goods house says this is a sign of prosperity. The American woman, he declares, will not dam her own or anybody else's stockings more than once when she can eifppd to buy new ones, and in this view he is supported by the president of a New Hng^ land thread mill, who has observed the fluctuations of the darning cotton trade.

The steeping giant had lost commercial supremacy in a conttnent which was hers by right of location and needs, to a race of industrious workers across the sea. Nor had Germany neglected her fight for trade at home. There, too. she found egotistB, so swollen with self 8uffciency that by disastrous taHff methods they had been bested. England, falling to protect her producers had driven her own farmers and carriers from the field, until, as one dls gruntled farmer said: "You can't pick up a cabbage In a stall which don't bear the words 'made in Germany;'" and If a new crown was needed for the king, Germany would have stood a fa|r chance of booking the order. In a mvtnal authority, when even the arost carefully reared power prwVed tumble hshed through the loss of her «reat natural revulsion which had reached j pllcable h*d taken place was known feyej1 heat before the Japanese-American war *broke out, England was try ing to obstruct this encroachment. The feeling thus engendered between the two nations culminated in one of •envy on the part of Great Britain and one of hatred on the part of Germany: The- kaiser, calmly reviewtag times And conditions, decided that the timehad come to strike. England, with power sadly dlmin-' Qeetraad at the mercy of the Unltetf SttttSfi m bar richest colony, stood open* to-attach. While she wis still mourning defeat, Germany took exception to the tariff laws in a **ory carefully worded meaa«jg».

A fe*w mtnutes later he was surprised when the emperor came from the room and went to hfs dressing chamber, from which he emerged in the plainest of civilian clothing, after which he beckoned to his two companions'; y His imperial majesty cautioned the guard to let no one know that he was leaving or of the nocturnal visitor, and, still accompanied by the unknown man and the chancellor, passed from the palace. From this on he was traced to the very carriage door, which was closed behind the party by afcother attendant. The vehicle drove away( in the night, the glow of, the mens cigars being the last thing nc* ticed by (he man who. escorted them, thus showing thai all were en very friendly and. intimate terms. ! The conveyance itself was traced for Several miles'"into the country, through the fact of its' having passed several other rigs. There was nothing in its appearance to distinguish It from any other, and only the fact that the streets at that time of night were desorted enabled the officers to gather any Idea of its direction. 'Oth ers had been observed; but all were identified and accounted for, and it was by a process of elimination only that the one carrying the kaiser and his companions was tracked. The re turn journey of the vehicle, if soch there had'been, was not noticed, and therefore led to the theory that some where within the empire the kaiser and chancellor were being held pris oners. The puzzling feature of the occur rence was that the emperor must have been acquainted and even on terms of friendliness with the man who decoyed him away. No anarchistic attempt could be deduced from the situation, because with the careful search that had been made it was certain that there could have been no assassination unless a most remarkable concealment had been made of all evidences of the crime. Nor was it even tenable that tbe party had crossed the border line, because in a condition of threatened war all travelers were being closely watched. Over every foot of the empire and into the moat inaccessible portions, search was being made for the place where the nation's ruler and the chancellor might be held; but so far there had been nothing whatever that threw even the faintest ray of light on their whereabouts. The attempts of the secret service men and mem bers of his majesty's family to keep his disappearance a secret failed, and Indeed was unnecessary, for the people themselves had to be enlisted in a quest involving the whole country. It was at this juncture that a Hc^ many horse trader, scenting a reward, offered his services and a suggestion to the police which was promptly' dcted upon. He described having met the carriage which was supposed to have taken away t h e emperor, and, following the Instincts of the horseman, he 8crnttnlsed the anlrdals more closely than the conveyance. He sakl he was walking ronnd a turn in the road, and whs almost run Over before he had time to gain a free way. One of the horses almost brushed him ia passing, and he noticed not only a singularity - of gait, but a peculiar white -mark .on the animala naak. <TO B E CONTIMUSIX) Ua who lovath the aaagar ahaU §**> within 24 hours, when the change took place. At the first day's delay the welt informed wondered, and when two days had passed, and finally three, it became certain that some very unusual event had taken place in Berlin. , Rnmors began to creep to London, to Paris, and soon the whole world knew, despite Germany's attempts to keep the matter a secret, that on the very eve of a crista the kaiser, the most dominant figure in Europe, had disappeared. Nor was that all, Al if to emphasize the fact that it could have been through no mental aberration that he had gone, the chancellor of Germany had disappeared at the same time.

And all the time the butler alleges she shouted: ''It's fired I am. is it?" The butler says he tried to reason with the woman, but she turned upon him with a rolling pin in her hand. The butler retreated with the cook close upon his heels. By this tfme the staff of servants was demoralized. Mrs. Spader was in her room and most of the servants had locked themselves in their rooms.

When Policeman FItzgibhon arrived he says Mary was seated in the parlor, rclling pin in her hand. He tried to convince her that she had been fired and she shied a book at him, he says. Fitzgibbon summoned Policeman Clark. Then, the policemen say, she backed to the wall so that they could not surround her. asd, waving the roiling pin, dared them to, "cpme on and; fight it out now. if lt'3 fired I am." The policemen sent for the police wagon, and, assisted by the driver. they closed in on Mary. In the struggle she kicked off both shoes, but was made a prisoner, and. without the shoea, was taken in the wagon to the station house, and locked up. Skunka Raid Bee Hives..

As to the length of time the earth la likely to last, the calculations are that It will not cease to be active for a good many millions of years, such activity ; not, however, necessarily supposing jfthat life as we know it now will always be possible, the eventuality of a universal ice age being always a contingency that may occur again in the history of the globe. It Is Interesting to note that In this connection a Swedish mystic called Stromberg has declared that the world would never know another ice age, but i that it was now- running out its course ' to the end. Its existence, he declared, J would endure as long as tire burned in | the earth's bowels—that is, until I he whole mass shall have become sol id I- "fled. The internal fires, he said, pr<>- ! vided the link which maintained the earth in the sun's sphere of attraction. When this attraction shall fail, the earth, according to the Swede, will • cease to revolve and will fall away. only to disappear by fire caused by friction, thus verifying the Biblical prophecy. As. however, the process of coolfnp down entirely will take some billions of years, tho nervous person will note that there is really no immediate cause for alarm. — New York World.

I At low tide in midsummer on certain parts of the Breton coast men and boys with baskets and hoes descend the white beach to the sea's edge. They are anglers, but the fish they seek live on dry land. With his hoe each fisherman makes swiftly in the packed sand shallow parallel trenches, very close together and about a yard long. If the luck be good every scratch of the hoe uncovers three or four silvery fish, the size of sardines, that leap up glittering into the air. Thej must be seized quickly or at once they bury themselves In the sand again. They are called lancons. The smaller ones are used for mackerel halt; the • larger, with their heads out off, make, \ fried, an excellent dish a good deal j like fried smelts. With daylight tides ! the lancons are seldom Mgger than a i man's middle finger, but with the night ildes, when promenaders have l not disturbed tbe sand, they run very I large indeed.

I lived there from childhood till I was thirty years old and have many friends there now. S i ? years ago while spending a f e w weeks with my old friends, the local option question was put to a vote and carried for the fifth successive time. I WHS at P a w P a w and otuer towns and saw no signs of drunkenuesa in any of them, therefore when the Herald stated Sept. 11 tli that wherever the local option does exist the evil is a hundred tirueB worse than it ever was under the open saloons, I took ezceptions to this statement and still d o .

H e says 'I have seen more drunkenness in Paw P a w in a single day under the open saloon than will be seen now in an entire year.' A few days ago in my presence at Lansing, Mr, Rowland repeated the statement with great emphasis. Here, Mr. Editor, is proof not only that the statement of the Herald is not true 'that conditions under locvl option are a hundred times worse than under the open s a l o o n / but proof also that they are 365 times better.

The advice received from sister workers is so varied that a few authoritative words on the subject may .not come'amiss. The >ules that govern the use of the single or\double thread on any given material are formulated on the general principle that the finer and more delicate the figure or the material, the finer should be the thread. Thus, on a sheer handkerchief linen or mull, or on a very small design on a heavier fabric, use a singie thread of fllo throughout. Otherwise, the [work will look rough and coarse.

Camille Flan> —ninsstt astronomer and pnji rintiigijl, ft It possible for dogs to commit suicide. We ourselves have heard of such things and take more or less stock in them, but M. Flammarlon believes that dogs suffer from grief and despair and kill themselves like human beings. His remarks ware occasioned by the alleged suicide of a Saint Bernard dog who threw himself under a motor bus in the Place Saint Bulplee recently, an hour after the tfealh of hiB mistress. He argues that •'* thjt'dog may be assumed to have tatoiQi as well as a human being that . • Ptotftr bus would crush him to death, « • 4 when he got in front of its wheels lie nrehteir did so as the quickest • to ead his grief at his mistress' lammarion cites other Inhave come under his ;sjf dogs committing suicide, and that the stories are not so as they seem at first sight, la that dogs may have even borte Instinct from man. But havan doge credit for memory and affection, says the Boston Hery doubt their capacity for mental suffering? Maeterlinck, another observer of dogs, has given them souls, as well as memory and affections. Many a dog has died of grief even if commit suicide. tsjfclch M~Jdfc»' } : c JL> of the.

They were painfully but not seriously hurt. A report from the scene of the wreck that several children were injured, has not been verified, save that one child, Miss Fern Dale, of Horton. who was with her mother, was badly \ bruised. It was first reported that a broken flange caused the train to take the old siding that led into the gravel pit, but an examination by road officials is said to have showed that this was not the case, but that the* switch evidently had been intentionally thrown. No blame has thus far attached to any of the railroad employes. Moat of those Injured were riding in the forward cars. The engineer was Morris Hickey, who was running his train fast to make up time, He escaped injury. Murder of >r>vld Stevenson. It 18 now believed by the residents of Claybanks township that David Stevenson, aged 45, whose charred remains were found in the ruins of Henry Peicheatson's barn, was the victim either of tramps or of a "Black Hand" gang, and not of telf-destruction because of disappointment in love, as at first reported. It is known that Stevenson, who wns reputed to be worth $20,000, as well as War Grumra, whose barn and 15 head of Hve Btock were burned at about the same time, had recently turned away a number of tramps, recusing to Allow tiiem to sleep in their barns,,It is helived that the tramps in a rage set fire to both places and then threw Stevenson into his blazing house becauie he would not give up money they had tried to obtain from him several nights ago, when he was walking home along a lonely route. The other story is that Oceana county's notorioue "Black Hand" gang that burned the $25,000 sawmill and threatened the life of Senator James Flood at Hart two years ago, has broken loose again and is instituting another reign of terror. Whatever the case n a y develop, suidlde, murder or "Black Hand," David Stevenson, the man ot sorrow, who deserted his bride at the altar and then was found burned to A ettsp five days after his wedding was t» have taken place, is gone, and his iancee, Miss Anna SchulU. is distracted and refuses to be comforted. After all, she will receive most of his money, as he named he,t.hMk>ene,flciary. MICHIGAN ITEMS.

In the course of that debate there wee plenty of-material upon which the president has been able to base his assertion: In the hearings before the committee prior to. the time the .matter reached the floor there were state* ments which, it will be contended, bore out th,e fear theory. , , The paragraph in the message of ] the president whi<ih was bffensive to the house had to do only wlthv the apparent wish of members to-escape investigation, and in. putting the expression of fear in the mouthB of congressmen themselves long before the message was written, the president put the house in a position that it must censure Itself if any censure is J due. Friends consulted by Mr. Roosevelt believe he has mad£ a sfrongand effective reply that 1B itself unanswerable, and that the result will be that the restriction placed on the secret \ service will be removed. Mr. Roosevelt will show the work the secret service has done and the money it has saved the government. There have been assurances from all ever the country, it is said in Washington, that the people ore1 with the administration in this, matter. And it \ is also sail that the representatives j and senators have heard and are still hearing from their constituents to the effect that censure will be objectionable to the country.* Mr. Roosevelt submitted the pre* pared draft of the message'to the cabinet for suggestions and discussion.

The king nearly forgot the distrust whieh he had felt first, and almeft yielded to the impuiaa to drop all ceremony and ask his guest tor aa explanation thea and there. He half rose and graaped the arms of bis chair.

Hie visitor, who had hesitated, n<rw went osv "This is no time nor place for me to say what I have to; hut as an emls^ sary of my government I am asked* to' lateea yva, y e w Ktoa, minister and tha irat Ipra of the aemiralty to grant paying bA wmsyr attention to wta( it contained.

The monarch, suddenly aware of the vqice^ caught only ijhe last words declaring it to be the "great event of the evening," and leaned back la his cushioned chair, his mmd again reverting to the vicissitudes- of government. His reverie was disturbed by a conversation Using place at the door of his box. "The gentleman waa very the theater aay apotogetloaHy. "Is there no place in the world where I can remain undisturbed?" the king muttered wearily, and then catted aloud: "Send that note ra, whatever h may be." With a- salute his equerry, handed him the message, which he Idly held jeet 'Uptssx'' aa if tnaawlaa cooM be no scrawled: 'Admiral Robert Bevlns of the United States navy desires a brief audience with his majesty upon mat ters which can, t}e discussed in per: ; i of anxiety and nights of alarm,'the for hour after hour, apparently occti-,,>Kra* o f ^«81*"°^ sought relaxation.

Germany had other occupations' than those of aggresstout and. was now distraught ia Us effort to find the missing ruler, from whom no word had been received and of Whom no Information had been obtained. The American dread had been somnolent for days, and the first grief for the loss of the great British fleet had lost • its poignancy and was becoming only a bitter recollection to be calmly discussed and speculated Upon. After weeks of storm and stress there had come a lull in which England, waited for winds more kind. London had lived so long in misery that it had become callous, hardened, and enveloped in an air of gloom, con dltions resembling those of that period self What sort of foot be_ was of terror1 which overspread it m tha' With a Salute, His Equerry Hands* Him the Message. son only. .If permissible, may he enjoy the seclusion of his majesty's box?'" Through the king's mind pa3sed a succession of questions. What could this mean? Would anyone dare pecpetrat% a joke of this character, and if so wto would have the temerity? Was it not an absurdity that Admiral Bevins should be here this night in a London, theater when his country was at war and had practically thrown the gauntlet into the lists of the civilized world? It was impossible! But he would send for this individual who by his paltry ruse would infring» upOn the privacy of a king and see for himj "Show him in!" he said to the eqgpr,-. great plague, but which led men by ry, and then expectantly watched the work and pretense of gayety to seek . doorH wondering whether he was to forgfetfuTness. Once more the music' face an adventurer or an imbecile.

And through It in quest of relaxation rode England's king. On leavinjHhe palace hi had na definite ptsa or destination; tween the king andtheotleer whose name appeared on the card was' an intimacy of more than 30 years' standing. The name alone had sufficient weight to preclude the curt refusal c* such an extraordinary request. If this was the friend of>is younger days, nothing but aa. ejpead of the utmost Importance could have induced him to seek an audience aider such circumstance* and, earth* contrary. if his visitor proved td be a aonenttty or crank, the guard woaM sjMa^roteeanxlous, was yet i heard. There waa u usual in a request for a ence under such circumstance*. he had hope that from it would come elucidation of all which he most wished to know. The morrow than would at least bring some ease of mind and some relief from uncertainty. Before he could reply the voice resumed: "The audience must be granted tonight." "To-night, to-night!" The sovereign forgot his aplomb, leaned his body toward his companion, and thrust his chin forward. There had been something in the use of the word "must" and the astonishing declaration that the interview should be conceded at once that aroused a little spark of resentment. And yet he was rilled with a curiosity akin to anger. The admiral was quick to read .his royal host's annoyance, and hastened to co*ei!ia>t«i "Your majesty, aa^your friend I iwk you not to misconstrue anything I may say. I am asking as a favor that I be allowed ray own time and way—yea, that I even may be permitted to suggest the conditions of the meeting. Believe me, it is for the best." The king was motionless and speech less for what seemed a long time. From his viewpoint of head of a nation and bound to maintain its dignity, and a man with a man's anxieties and anxious to learn from a friend's lip* the story of the last month's secrets anil disasters, he was considering what waa best to do. In an oddly repressed tone he answered with another tentative question. "As a friend I received you ift my box, and now on this same basis 11 ask you if this communication of yours is BO Important and urgent that it caariot take its due course accord ing to official custobi ?" "Beyond official ways, your majesty, imperative and urgent," waa the response; "otherwise I should not have chosen this unusual method of approaching you, nor asked for such an unusual audience in such haste and at such an unseemly hour." *•'•"' (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Again the Tidings g*t« after him on that Hue and scores a touchdown. Ww clip the following from the columns of the Tidiugs: "The Birmingham Ledger iu a recent statement gives some interesting facts in connection with the effect of prohibition in that large manufacturing center of the Southland. The statement shows that by voting out 120 saloons iu Birmingham has not killed business. While the revenue received from the saloons formerly WH« 1117,000, which was lost wheu the aaloous were abolished, a large saviug by the city of money, the expenditure of which the presence of the saloon made neccessary, has equalized matters HO that uo increase iu taxation upou j real and personal^property in the ] city has been caused by the no j license regime. j The decrease in crime hiuce proi hibitiou went into effect is 45 per jceut. The decrease in the number of homicides and assaults to kill 75 per cent. The decrease in the number of druuks in the city has been 60 per cent, while the decrease in the number of arrests notwithstanding the enlargement of the city, has been 40 per cent. These and other facts which are from time to time published by the Ledger and other southern papers are of such a nature that even 'they that run may read.' " Any time that the editor of the Tiding thinks we are too free with its items let him say so. These we consider as good matter to get before the voters of the county for the next three months and knowing Bro.

Hugh Caverley puffed away at his fiisreputable brier pipe. His friend eyed him wltn some curiosity. "I don't understand," be said, "what Idea you could have had in swearing off on such a lot of things for New Tear's. Smoking doesn't harm you; yyu don't drink to excess; you use all r*fce good things of life without abusing any of them. Yet you've aworn off." "Don't you suppose I know that?" growled Caverley. . 'Til tell you how It came about I'm Just getting over a nasty attack of grip. You know how miserable, a ZQ{SV f e e l s a.t sueii times. Well, I got to thinking how little use everything was, and I made a promise to myself." "What was the promise?" "That I would try to draw up a list of all my minor .vices on New fe&ft day S^fWTwOttl*. on njWnlgbt ot t h a t day ifr- "XK>*'T •&? ** w nounce them aU. nWrURBED" I pledged solemnly t*et Wtoatever | lution i should make oft New Year's day I would keep for the entire year. And the worst of it all is that I know I shall keep my word." "Well, you still have twelve golden hours wherein to enjoy the world before you turn ascetic. Start in." "That's the worst of it," retorted Oaverley, with a hopeless sigh. "1 can't I've asked a silly crowd of people to dine with me at the Martin tonight and go to the theater afterward." "But you won*t dine for seven hours y e t " "I know, but I're got to spend the remaining time at a Turkish bath shaking7 off the rest of this spell of grip. I'd better start now on my glorious career of martyrdom. What was a little stake burning or lion feeding, such as the martyrs of old affected, compared with all I have to swear off at midnight!" Thus grumbling at fate and his own folly, Caverley knocked out his pipt' and wandered uptown to the Turkish bath, which was to act as the prologue to his self imposed martyrdom. Under the rubber's deft hands the embryo martyr could feel the last traces of srip give way to n feeling of solid comfort and drowsiness. "Don't let me be disturbed," he com manded the attendant as, having consumed a herculean lunch, he stretched himself drowsily on a couch. Scarce five minutes seemed to have passed when the sleeper, clear headed and buoyant once more, sprang to bis feet, "That's the most refreshing nap i ©ver had!" he exclaimed. "What time- Is it?" "Half past 5, sir," "Half past n! And I only meant to sleep till .".! I'll have to hustle off to Martin's in a Mirry. Order the dinner, then go home and dress. It'll be a close shave to do it all. And the peo pie I've invited are just the kind to take offense if I keep them waiting. Call a cab In a hurry to take me to the Hotel Martin!" "The Martin, sir?" repeated the attendant. "I'm afraid the restaurant will be closed at this- hour." "Closed at 5:30? What do you mean? I t ' s o p e n a l l day."

FEEDING FOR 1 0 0 » . Atody the Fjoek and Avoid Overfeed; i With eggs at 83 cents a doses, and grocer predicting 40,-every poultry eder Is anxiously asking what he feed to secure eggs." 4't feed my s so and so, I keep tnem free from ttm, I almost live wtthlhem, and don't i e t ' a i J v s ^ i ^ S , i r n B ^ ' S i « g t coat us from fifty to seventy-five cents a dosen," says another, outlining a niethod of Jeeding which surely should bring results if anything could. The trouble is l e w Apaopfei hagto • early enough to feed for eggs, Strong, healthy hens will lay on a very badly balanced ration, sometimes with poor housing and apparently little xare. The reason is because they art vigor oua, because they are suiftcieaUy strong to digest an4 assimilate enough food to produce eggs., A hen might come from the very best laying strain, she might be fad an abundance of egg. forming material, but, if she .aa* not the ability to digest her food she will never be a valuable layer. The best ration and the cheapest ration is the ration which brings as the greatest number of eggs and keeps, our hens in the best'condition. Chickens require a Hbare/ diet In cold. weather; too often they am fed enough to keep up the ' animal heat, hut not enough to produce eggs as well. Hence a perfectly healthy flock may be a flock of poor layers., Whether the, hens are not Uying because they hnve not the digestion to ^ assimOkta their food and turn it into eggs, or whether they are not laying because they have not the surplus material for eggs, is a point the owner must decide for himself. Well hatched, well raised hens will always lay if they have abundance of food and abundance of , fresh sir. How they are fed is important, but equal importance should be attached to how they are bred. ifrii i:,' < *£ NEW OUINEA EXPEDITION HASOOSE CAU * . flesh Slioad from Ui^g^dt and Roasted •afore TRd* Explorer Soaking Another Trip, A GOOD COLONY HOUSE.

You don't need to be aghast at the idea of washing a plume. , The thing is, In fact, almost as simple as laundering a muslin dress. The advice given by one woman Is as follows: Lay the plume in a suds made of good white soap and cold water and let it stand for two or three hours. Then put into hot water, where it should remain about; twenty minutes. Then, with a piece of soft cloth or silk dipped in soap suds, remove any dirt which may remain. Lay it on a clean towej and touch.with a piece of cloth rolled up to restore the curt.

If necessary .use.the dull side of an ivory paper cutter in restoring the curl. y'M a? «S!>n'•' For S)oy or Girt.

Supposing a boy is •, a black patent leather belt I have fotmd no better egg ration than wheat and oats in the bundle fo'r forenoon and principal feed, with earn lateen the afternoon, writes a South Dakotan, in Oratnge Judd Farmer. A good, warm, well-seasoned maBh of some kind on cold ntornlngs three or four times a #eek is greatfy relished, partkulariy if mixed with milk.; The grain should be kept in the bundle and be fully three-fourtts wheat. 'A little millet is excellent fed in the straw. I save much labor and other expense by feeding hens, sheep atid other stock their, grain In the bundle. A 'steeply slantmr floor" tn *a henhouse can be kept dry and Clean much easier than a level one. Feed bnndle grain on the upper end, and straw and anything els* will be scratched to the lower end, where there should fbe a small -door to throw it out. The hens, if good, live ones, will sometimes scratch it out themselves, A floor 20 feet long should be at least 18 inches higher at one end than the other: f Earth, graveJ or cinders make a much better floor than boards. With these surroondings, and the birds,and feed described, with plenty of fresh wa.ter and green food, and: a little afresh, meat now and then, it is not a difficult thing* to get both pleasure and profit from a large flock of poultry. Style of Building Which Is Not Expensive and is Portable; During the dull season our local lumber dealer and his assistant built some portable colony poultry house* as follows, writes an Indiana correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer:- The frame is securely-bolted to the sillsjfoyer in the interior, while, the fifth died the day be^rot back to the coast. But there is no danger of that sort of thing happening to the proposed Portable Colony House. which are made ' sled-runher style.

Coal ashes have no fertilizing value, yet they ar,e good material.for heavy sells, making them light and pliable. It is claimed that coal ashes will prevent potato scab when applied in the hill and that they will loosen the soil for the formation of larger tubers. Wood ashes have high fertilizing value, being especially rich in potash. They are a splendid fertilizer for fruits of all kinds, and good, for flowers and vegetables. Ashes are made on every farm; they are a waste product and the more that are saved the less com« mareial fertilizers will need to be purchased.

Through the Invention of the armor piercing torpedo gun, Lieut. Comman der Ctelafid Davis has created HO terrible a menace to the navies of the wbrM that revolutionary changes must tolloV fas}! on t h e trail of its adoption by this nation. It will uo doubt force t|LB world a ctep nearer tu armed neut r a l l y or a universal peace, for it render* battleships so much more vulnerable^ below th6 water line than hitherto that nations will be less inclined to; take the risk of war. Tu offset the destructive effect which expert a claim this new device ts-caTEroTe of, Bbip designees must revise plans and shelve p r e c e d w t a by placing 1» the water ships radically'different from' any uow afloat. Thousands of tons of additional armor will alone give a maximum protecYle* to the great floating forts of the world when the United States haa been equipped wtth a torpedo that drives a shell loaded with deadly "Dunnite'' deep into the Interior of another ship and, by a time fuse, causes it to burst in the vital section of the- quarry. Therein lies the p a v e * of> this new implement, says Technical World Magazine, and there also is the radical difference between the Whitehead, or gun-cotton, and the Davis torpedo. Terrible as is the former, it may be called a harmless toy by comparison. It rushes through the water 15 feet below the surface at the rate of 40 -mites an-'taour; strikes the object of attack and explodes the 200- pound charge of guri-cofton in its war head against the side of the ship. Before'the days of water-tight compartments and steel containing bulkheads that crashing detonation wotild have been a sounding requiem over the graves of the crew, for the ship would have filled and sunk. OF _ L £TAX£J4EWS^BRIEFS. SOME NEW THINGS BROUGHT IN BY THE STATE'S NEW CONSTITUTION. CHANGE I N METHODS Women Displacing Men. Woman is putting on her good clothes and coming down-town. Which is ont of the epoch-making events in her industrial history. • For, while women are not gaining on men noticeably in factories, they are gaining on them every day, noticeably, strikingly, overwhelmingly, In salesrooms, correspondence rooms, auditing rooms, and all th,e other places conveniently summarized as "stores and offices." Nevertheless, while it is true in the factory trades aa a whole that men and women seem to have reached, temporarily at least, an equilibrium of relative numbers, it is also true that here and there, occasionally, in the constant give and take between the sexes, men are being displaced by women. When this, happens, says William Hard, in Everybody's, it la worth watchln? be cause the industrial character of woman is then revealed in action. Forestry and Delinquent Tax Lands to Be Given Special Attention by the Legislature. In the report which will be.submitted to the governor and the legis'uturo the special commission or inquiry on forestry and delinquent tax lands authorized by the act of the lefr islature two years ago, will rtcunimend a consolidation and concentration of allied -state departments that means a sweeping change in the methods ot government and the elimination of a rich source of political patronage in connection with the state go •.eminent. The commission's inquiry has been most exhaustive. Independent or the commission, but working in harmony with it, the federal forestry bureau has for several months had agents In Michigan, with particular reference to the causes, the extent of the damages and the efficiency or lack of efficiency of the state game and fish warden appointed by the governor. These federal investigators, so it is alleged, are reporting things to their superiors, in the Washington bureau which are said to be not at all flattering to Michigan's fire warden system. Under the special commission's plan to consolidate all the state's interests relating to the public domain the office of game, fish and fire warden and of land commissioner would be abolished and all the patronage that goes with them placed in the, hands of a__commission of five members, but one of which will be the choice of the governor. The new constitution, which Is now the supreme law of the commonwealth, expressly provides that the legislature may abolish the office of land commissioner and turn the duties of that office over to another department. i The postmaster of Cleveland has been so impressed with the number of mistakes in addressing mail lhat. he has compiled a primer giving instruction on the subject and has circulated it in the public and parochial schools. It would seem that every person with intelligence enough to write a letter would know how to address it, but that this Is not the case is shown by the records of the dead letter office, which gave a total for last year of over 10,- 000,000 domestic letters received there and over 1,500,000 foreign letters. Of course these letters did not all fail of delivery because the writer did not know how to address them, but a large proportion were of this class. Great numbers were without, any address, which means sheer carelessness on the part of the writer,- othern wero without postage, many were misdirected, a large number were hotel letters. So many, however, showed mistakes of ignorance that, a primer of instructions is not without its ufifcs. The importance of trade schools, nn article, about which was lately printed in the Youth's Companion, gain* new emphasis from the decision of the expert superintendent of the public schools of Chicago to lay before the board of education a plan in establish three 'technical or vocational high schools for -girls, to correspond with those nl-rndy established for boys. It Is planned in tbe.se schools to fit. girls not. only for domestic lt'e, hut lor many af such callings—as typewriting and stenography,.dressmaking • and millinery— to which women are moving in greater and greater numbers. The suereus of the few schools where such practical training is provided ha^ abown that they meet a distinct need -of the <ltr:» mm>f*'* •••' <*** t i « i » . - 1 - - . - , , » . ! . t - i More Nominees, More Delegates. The state conventions this year will have the opportunity to .nominate two candidates' for Justice of the supreme court, two regents of the university, a superintendent of public instruction and six members of the board of agriculture. The idea is to put thiir board which governs the M. A. C. on as streng a footing as the board of regents. The superintendent of public Instruction has hitherto been named in the fall, but the new constitution changes this. Due to the large vote cast for governor last fall over that cast in 1906, the number of delegates each county will have Is much increased. The ratio is one delegate for every 260 votes- for governor, which will give 1,312 delegates in the Republican state convention to be held in Grand, Rapids February 12, instead of 917,. the number which sat :U Detroit last fall. Kent county, Aiilch had 43 votes, will have 65 and other counties in proportion. "Indian Dave," of Standlsh, years"old, a Chippewa, is dead.

It la impossible to dig graves, Tor there are not men enough, nor is there time to spare for the work of disposing of the decomposing bodies, and quicklime is not .available in large enough quanr titles. The dead are a host that will never, be accurately uumbered or named. Nearly all the survivors who can be moved are now in Naples, Rome and smaller towns near them, all of them in piteous plight from injuries and' grief and nerve-shock. Of these not yet removed, many are dying from exposure or injuries amid the forlorn, ruins. The sites of both Messfua and Reggio, for centuries occupied by thousands of busy and prosperous people, are now dismal heaps of charred stones and crumbling remnants of what were once happy homes, sacred and ancient churches, and busy stores and offices, presenting a more awesome and grievously saddening spectacle than the dreary heaps which lie scattered on the,spots where Pompeii and Herculaneum were crushed ages ago.

It is regarded as probable that Regent Chun will be diplomatically advised to rescind the imperial edict sending'Yuan Shi Kai into retirement and to recall him to the posts he has been so suddenly and summarily driven from on the specious plea that he is in bad health—which is not. true. . The reform or modernist, element in China recognizes in Yuan Shi Kai its greatest lesder and power, -and' it is a large, growing and strong element. It is thoroughly aroused by the dismissal of Yuan, regarding it as a blow to reform and modernism, a reactionary stroke, and a plot of the Manchn clement to retain f secndancy and to prevent the establishment of a real native Chinese dynasty and rule. \ * PROHIBITION. t*&#*ta.*im*m-****** -•*• tfrV F a n n i n g * Survey of the SituaUwt ' - # • * * ^QcattOptlori. • In a N«w Y e w ' w U i i ^ f tM» party outlook A, the i-Praalbltfoalbtfc N h a i « Jockfd horns with the Antl-Saioon league by declaring that local option laws "ar* a farce," t a a l Utey a r e nothing but "temporary expedients, while little or no real gain to the temperance cause," and that wherever t h e j have been, pasted they have c u t down the vote on'! the Prohibition ticket.

Congresa Will Give Aid. Congress will appropriate $500,000- for the relief of the sufferers in Italy. Immediately after convening both houses will receive a special message from the president, recommending the granting of this sum. The message will be formally referred by each house to its committee on appropriations. There will be no delay in reporting the measure back, and t h e two bodies will vie with each other m its speedy passage. This pi-ogram has been arranged between the president on one hand and Senator Hale, chairman of the committee on appropriations, and Speaker Cannon of the heuse of representatives en the other. The sum to be appropriated will cover the value of supplies already forwarded on the order of the president. The appropriation will be greater by far than ever has been made in the past for a similar purpose, the largest grant heretofore being $200,- 000 to Martinique. T h t Quest of Macea.

England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection against w h a t the British suppose ia a terrible submarine flotilla. Hillier is also sent to Canada to attempt to force his way through American lines with a message to the president in order that protection for the fleet may be assured. Japan appeals to Britain for aid. British fleet departs, amid misgivings or English. Fleet mysteriously disappears, a sailor picked upon on a raft being the only evidence of the loss. Powers begin to fear for their safety. Hillier makes a failure of effort to deliver message to the president. War. between Great Britain and •Germany is threatened. The kaiser disappears. King' Edward of England Is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United State* had his reply "Very well, you may come, and I snail have the other* sent for at once." Bevins gave a quick start of exultation; but his companion continued without a pause: "I shall be there within half an hour, and shall instruct the guard at the outer gate to admit you immediate ly on your arrival." His Companion held up a hand as if forgetting something. "If your majesty pleases, I should prefer that you instruct -the, guard at the private entrance leading from the garden in the rear." To this also the king acceded, attributing it to a desire for conceal ruent on the part of his companion, who almost at once made his adieu, passed out beyond the curtains, through the door, and joined the last of the lagging crowd. The fog had not abated, but seemed even more impenetrable than in the earlier hours familiar inf the face. They waited without speaking until the lord of the aamttalty a^pwu'eti, showing from his garb thai he' natf'<beW c c ^ e l l e d to hasten bis coming; and then came the k i n g . , - .

Bevins bowed and extended his hand to each in turn, assuring them of his friendliness; The king himself without parley 'conducted them to a more private room, and offered each in turn a cigar, after which he looked inquiringly at his guest, who answered by drawing from his pocket a sealed dispatch, which he delivered. It was torn open and read in silence, passing from hand to hand. after which the admiral, without pre lude, plunged into his subject. "As wiH be witnessed by the dispatches I have brought, the United States wishes nothing more than complete harmony. It has been compelleJ for the sake of peace to adopt rather unprecedented methods, which I can assure you will at least revolutionize all methods of warfare as generally understood. The letter is U» reassure bis majesty." The two members of the ministry looked at each other in strained sus- ;(' K CHAPTER XI.—Continued. To summon a king, a prime minister and the highest official of the earth's most mighty navy to a private inter view'at midnight! Even in times like these it seemed preposterously impudent; but this man came as a friend from the land of silent terror which threatened tD conquer the world; was undoubtedly In deadly earnest, and was a < mesas of information between what'had actually happened and what was to come. " 'Time will not wait, even for kings,'" quoted the monarch with some underahade of bitterness, and from his guest came the whispered return : "No, time" cannot Wait, even for kings." The monarch slowly settled back into the hollow dep~lns bT h'ii chair and, as If seeking a moment's respite to r? view the situation, looked upward at the hangings of his box and then out toward the garish lights of the stage. The hush of expectancy over the house had reached a climax of intensity, and the master of ceremonies in a raucous voice was shouting toward the roof iu deliberately prolonged tones! "Are— you—all—readyT* From somewhere above them came a faint response. "Yes," and then with speed gathered by its long flight through the air there came flashing comet-like from high above an extended splotch of white, the sound of a sharp splash, and a burst of applause as the "event of the evening," a high dive, was con summated. Neither occupant of the royal box paid any attention to this feat. Kevins remained in an attitude of expectancy, waiting for the king's next words. The success or failure of his enterprise might depend upon them, and in this light they seemed of almost tragic consequence. "What do you propose?" the ruler asked, again facing the admiral as though there had been no lapse of time; and the other, relieved by this sign of assent, gave an involuntary and deep-drawn sigh of relaxation. "If your majesty wfll be so kind, I think it best that I should meet you in the palace within an hour after your departure - from this theater. That will give leeway for the other gentlemen to respond to the summons and be there at the appointed time." The band struck up "God Save the King," in token of the closing of the performance, and from where they were they could see the audience standing, in total ignorance of. the presence of his majesty and. unaware of the fact that a momentous interview, involving life *»d ,d*^*'p«iQo They Stood for a Moment, the King and the Admiral. of the evening and, rendered traffic more difficult. Here and there came the glow and halation of an arc light, dimly showing through a veil and lighting up a tiny radius in the gloom. A constable kept calling: "Keep close to the wall! Keep close to the wall!" his voice sounding from a long distance and muffled. Cabmen were insistently shouting, and when Bevins came to the first street crossing he was almost run down by a slow-moving automobile whose eyes stared at him suddenly like those of a great beetle. It was the king driving to his rest dence. At Buckingham palace, where the royal banner was hanging sodden from its staff, the guards with busbya coated with the perspiration of the night, tramped briskly to and fro at the great iron gates in front as well as past the gates of the garden on Buckingham road, a half mile in the rear. The time of the appointment was past when the guard at the private entrance received the expected visitor "with a comment of surprise and apol ogy that he had not been accompanied through the gardens by the farther sentries. "Very thoughtless and unusual, sir," he said, "and I'll report them at once." "No, no, don't do that," Bevins hastily requested. "I wished to come alone. By his majesty's permission," he added, and the man conducted him to the private audience chamber, where he was given a seat. .. The prim* aitt»l8ttor"enter«d only ;> pense, and eagerly waited for the American to continue, which he did after brief thought, in which time he gravely studied the king's face. "It has not been pleasant for my country to take the steps it has; bvii there were no other means of establishing and maintaining— perhaps forever— a continued state of peace. Gentlemen, I believe that the day of war has nearly seen its sunset. I believe if you will intrust yourselves to my care for the next few hours, under my assurance as a representative of my government and as a friend of his majesty's, that no harm will come to any of you, that I can convince yon of what I have said, as well as of the uselessness of strife." Again there was silence, while those in the room looked at each other question ingly. "Yes, it will require your leaving the palace," the admiral continued as if responding to an interrogation, and then with grim humor added, "that notwithstanding the disappearance of the kaiser and his chancellor." The ministers shook their heads, in dlcating that It was impossible. "The reason this 13 necessary," the officer hastened to add, "is that your people will never understand the now or of the United States nor believe in it on less distinguished testimony than that which you wiU.be able to render. Even then It will be hard for them to com prebend that my country Is A pos- ' session of an enghie of war thateonM and war, and th*. welfare of empire !•Bevins, evidently trying to recall was M a g «ond«ct«d la a Mar +***• whether or not they had met before, few nrlmltes'lateY a*tf stared hart! a t f bring all cations to its f#et, or annK hilate them if it chose."

His voice was flbiaul and almost pleading in bis anxiety tu gain his point. The king alone seemed .half Inclined to go. "I have known Bevins for 30 years," he said alowly, "and we have been very good friends, indeed intimate at times, and I would intrust myjife in his keeping; but a man and a king are two different beings. As a man I would go at once; but as the representative head of a nation I cannot take the risk unless there la no other way." The ^minister and the lord of the admiralty spoke together In their disapproval, and besought their superior to refuse such a demand under any and all conditions. Bevins saw that he wa*J losing bis point, and stepped into the breach. "Wait!" he begged, rising to his feet. "Will your majesty permit me to bring other proof that what I ask la for the best?" The king nodded, "Then grant me an order to the guard at the door which will enable me to pass without Interruption and return." There was the pressure of a button, an order to the equerry to do as the visitor1 wished; and the officer towe-* himself out of the room. His majesty's advisers began an impassioned appeal that he should under all circumstances refuse to leave the security of his palace. They pointed out the dangers which might assail him In many ways, despite the fact that his visitor was his friend; but to all of these advices he made no reply, lounging in a careless attitude and blowing wreaths of smoke toward the shaded electric lights above his head. There was a rap at the door, and it was thrown open by an equerry, who stood at attention, his face betraying no sign of anything unusual. Into the room entered another visitor, followed by Bevins, who closed the door after him. The materialization of a ghost could have created no greater surprise. The king dropped his cigar on the carpet and, like his .eompanions, jumped to his .,feet, and stood like a statue. The prime minister's haoftd was half poised in the air. and remained there while, the lord of the admiralty shoved- his-headrJorward in an attitude of awestruck question' ing. The king •broke the silenc*. ''Field'! Is that you*" he asked, Vn utter astonishment. s y "Yes, yout mafjesty^ it 'fa*J." and,he advanced tb meet the king, who sud denly^h.gld out his hand.,, , .' The ~6{hers rushed forward, almost incoherent in greeting the admiral who bad sailed away in command of the great fleet of demonstration* and had been given up as dead. Field was apparently enjoying the situation, and waited until they began to ask question before expressing his views. "\ am under my word of honor, or I might say parole—" "Not that," Bevins interrupted- "You are not a prisoner." "Well, under promise then, that I shall say.nothing concerning the mystery which I now thoroughly understand." He made a little grimace as if the subject brought up unpleasant recollections of defeat, and went on: "I am Kere to-night as the guest of our friend the admiral. He has told me of his failure to convince you that; what he asks Is necessary, and I have come to add my arguments to his, urging upon you to do as he says. He has told yow the truth when he say3 that it may moan an end to war." The ministers and the lord of the admiralty looked shocked; but the king made a decision without hesitancy. "I will accept, and believe it best that the others should accompany me." It was conclusive. They donned their light coats, and when the monarch stepped from hi? wardrobe a moment later he, too, was garbed for his trip and preceded them down the hallways, through corridors and arched doors, over heavy carpets where the noise of their feet was deadened, and across tiled floors where the ring of their boot-heels disturbed the silence. Only once did the king halt, and that was for Bevins to indicate whether it was desirable to pass through the private door or into the broader corridor leading toward the front of the palace. They chose the former course, passed the wonder ing sentry at the door, and out into the night. The odor of June flowers came to them on every side through the weird veil of fog, and from the drive beyond the pile of stone and brick came the steady clattering of horses' hoofs. They walked closely together, the king holding Bevins' arm. The sentry heard their feet steadily crunching out over the graveled walks, started at the sound of a melancholy, far-reaching whistle, wondering whether it was a signal of some( strange .Import* and. then re* Burned* his -usual. motionless > attitude. The king and hit ministers bad been taken by the fog. the night and the mystery. <TO » B coimwintrxF ~ LAMtt BAcfc PRy6CfcJl»7K>W 1 ¾ The htcreaWfHr us* of *'**Wrfe" for lame back and rheumatism la closing considerable discussion ajnonf^tne uwdicai f m « r M f y V ^ - y a n ' a ^ p a t * t e fallible cure when miaed with" certain other ingredients and taken-properly.

But riKht here lu the beginning I uiunt breakaway from my subject to tell a Htory. Margaret Muy charmed me by what I consider the higher tralta. She was a sober girl of an intellectual type, with excellent principles and elevate«I ideals. 1 iim not a man to be pleased with a gity, frolicHoine girl, however kind hearted, however winning. It was, therefore, natural that I should yield to the characteristics of Marga ret. We became engaged, and every thing looked well for our future happiness when my fiancee begaa to show u succession of singular changes. One evening when I w e n t to see her she bounded into the room like a holden, threw her arms about my neck, kissed me several times In rapid succession and, beginning with "You bad boy," upbraided ine for not having come earlier. When I asked her for what she hud wished me, she said that a clr cus had come to town, and she was "dying" to attend t h a t evening's performance. Astonished, I asked her if the next night would not do as well. She suld it would not, and when I pressed her for a reason the only one Bhe could give w a s that she couldn't wait. It was altogether too late to go to the circus that evening, so I spent the resc of it with her In t h e cozy library where we had passed so many happy hours, often taking book after book from the shelves, rambling in them together and calling each other's attention to favorite passages. But, alas, there was no such enjoyment for us tonight. Margaret spoke of the books as "mustj, dusty things," in which she had no interest, and insisted in talking only npon the most frivolous topics. It Is needless to say that I was not only disappointed, but shocked. Could this be my steady, well balanced, in tellectual Margaret? 1 was Inclined to doubt it. Could it be her twin sister ? I knew that she had no twin sister. 1 endured her prattle as long as I was able; then, telling her t h a t I had some work to do before going to bed, J rose to go. "And you will take me to the circus tomorrow night?" she asked, with a pout. "Certainly if you wish it," I replied and wheu I could escape from an exuberance of caresses left her. That night and t h e next day my brain was in a turmoil. I was like a man who had lost his love. I brooded Instead of working till after office hours and In the evening called to take Margaret to the circuB. The maid who received me at the door went upstairs to announce me and, returning, told me that Miss May was not feeling well and hud gone to bed, There was no message of disappointment at missing the performance nor at not seeing me. Indeed, the maid told me that she thought her mistress had not expected me that evening. This would have been natural had it not been for the engagement, since it was an evening T seldom called. The next of my usual weekly visits was Sunday, and I called, dreading to again find the holden. I was agreeably disappointed. Margaret was Unusual self except that she showed signs of overstrained nerves. Something told me to refrain from mentioning her singular personality when I had last seen her, to wait and observe. During the visit, and the next two visits she was her own sweet self, barring her altered health. Finally I referred to her desire to visit the circus. She seemed surprised, mystified, and when I told her the whole story said. with a nervous tremor, "Oh, she'll ruin meT' "Was some one else than you with me that evening?" I asked. "Yes—no. I was with you, but she dominated me." And she hurried out. of the room. I was not admitted to see Margaret. —Indeed, 1 did no; rare to see her; i was dissatisfied- for a month. Then I called on her. What was my surprise to find her a different person from either of the two 1 hail known. From the moment, we mei she talked of women's rights, women's voting. women's superiority to men and anally told me that If 1 interfered with her in any of these objects to which she proposed to devote her life we must proceed by separate paths. I left her maddened. IIad I not been puzaled as well I would have bro'.en my e;;gaa;eiuent then and there.

I t was a special article of about a;e60 words, written, a s 1 w a s then informed and n o w understand, by Mr. L. W. Busbey, at that time private secretary to the s p e a k e r . o f t h s house. It contained an utterly unwarranted attack on the secret service division of tho treasury department and its chief. "At the time of this publication the work of the sscret service, which w a s thus assailed, Included especially the investigation of great land frauds in the west, and the securing of evidence to help the department of Justice in t h e beef-trust Investigations a t Chicago, which resulted in successful prosecutions. Efforts to Kill Move Found to Be Unavailing. "These methods proved unavailing t o prevent the wrong. Messrs. Tawney *nd Smith, and thMlr fellow members on the appropriations eymmftte'e paid no heed to the protests; and a s the obnoxious provision waa incorporated in the sundry civil bill, It waa impossible for me to consider or discuss it o n i t s merits, a a I should h a v a . d o n e had it been in a separate bill. Therefore I have now t a k e n the only method available, that of discussing it in lily m e s s a g e to congress; and as all efforta to secure what I regard a« proper treatment of. tho subject without recourse to plain speaking had failed, I have spoken plainly and directly, and have set forth the facts In explicit terms. "Since 1901 the Investigations covered by the secret'service division—under the practice which had been for inaoy years recognized as proper and legitimate, a*>d which had received the sanction e f the highest law officers of the governmentrhave covered a wide range O f Offenses against the federal law. By far the most important or these related to the public domain, a s t o which there w a s u n - covered .a tar-reaching and widespread system of fraudulent transactions involving both the illegal acquisition and the Illegal fencing of government land; and, In connection with both these offenses. the crimes of perjury and subornation of perjury. Some of the persons involved in these violations were of great wealth and of wide political and s o d a ! influence. Both their, corporate associations and their political affiliations, and the lawless character o f some of their employes, made the investigations not only difficult but dangerous.

One of the secret service men acr eordlngly, resigned and was* appointsd in the Interior department t o carry on this work. The first thing he discovered was that the special agents' division or corps of deteotlves of the land office of the interior department w a s largely under the control of the land thieves; and In consequence the Investigations above referred to had to be made by secret service men. "If the present law, for which Messrs. Tawney, Smith, and the other gentlemon I have above mentioned are responsible, had then been in effect, this a c - tion would have been Impossible, and most of the criminals would unquestionably have escaped. No more striking instance can be imagined of ths desirability of having a central corps of skilled investigating agents who can at any time be ns3*gned, if necossary In large numbers, to Investigate some violation of the federal statutes. In no matter what branch of the public service, In this particular case most of the men Investigated who were public servants -were in the executive branch of the government. But in Oregon, where a a enormous acreage of fraudulently alienated public land w a s recovered for the government, a United States senator, Mr. Mitchell, and a mem* bnr of the lower house, Mr. Williamson, were convicted on evidence obtained by fnen transferred from the secret service, and another member of congress w a s Indicted."

When this action w a s taken, the senate committee, under th« lead of the lato Senator Allison, having before It a strongly-worded protest from Secretary ("ortelyou like that he had sent to Mr. Tawney, accepted the secretary's views; and the senate passed the bill in the shape presented by Senator Allison.

"The light was blown out and he was left in total darkness. The pressure against the port was too great for him and he found himself in water up to his neck in this closed stateroom. Fortunately the pressure eventually carried away the door, and he was thrown out into the berth deck.

Of the heroism of the men of the Arbuckie company in sticking to the ship when it waa known she would sink at any moment Commander Marsh says: "The ship was going over steadily to starboard, but not till the aeaa were over the rail on the starboard side, and the stern was under water, did I call the tugs alongside to take away the men. I believed I was the last to leave. Capt.

The plans for a national educational campaign, approved at the last annual session of the order, have been carried out on a large scale, with the result that the proposition. lor federal aid has been widely discussed and indorsed In all parts of the country. The most convincing proof Of the far-reaching effect of the grange movement for better roads is found in the fact that tor the first time the national platforms of the two great political parties contained planks favqring road improvement. This remarkable prog reas, as compared with a few years ago, when the subject was ignored by both parties, can justly be credited tt the public sentiment created by the persistent agitation- of the grange. The press in general has given cor dial support to the good roads movement, and the leading newspapers, magazines and farm journals testify to the interest of their readers in the subject by the frequent publication of articles dealing with various phases ol the subject. The importance of improved rouds, as a great economic reform which will directly promote th€ prosperity of the largest producing in dustiy of the nation, and thus indi rectly benefit all classes and interests is now fully recognized, and the prob lem remaining is that of concentrating this favorable public sentiment OB congress so as to secure the enactment of legislation making effective the wishes of the people. It hay been given out at Washington that of thousands of letters receive* from farmers by the president's "Com mission on Country Life," by far the larger number advocate improved roads as the most important reform in the farmer's interest that congress can aid In securing. It is undoubted!) the reform that means most in dollars and cents to the individual farmer and the adoption of the grange policj of.federal aid will be the most effec tlve agency in bringing about the es iablishment of a complete system ol improved roads in every section am} locality in the country.

Pennsburg, Pa.—Held prisoner by a 200-pound awe* which rolled on hiF left leg while he was climbing over a stone fence when he was hunting rab bits. Alfred Eppler, Sr., near this borough, was saved from starvfng to death in the woods by his wit, making a lever out of hi* rifle. After several hours' work he'raised the rock slowly and, gathering small stones by means of a forked stick, shoved them under the large stone one fcy one until he had the weight iai»ed high enough off his ankle to release hrraself. Finding his ankle had been frac hired and that he was unable to walk, he screamed, for help until he was tired out. Then he used his rifle as a crutch and hobbled toward home until his strength gave out. He lay in the fields until he had obtained rest, and an hour after his family had gone out in search of him he dragged himself into his home on his hands and knees. Dr. J. C.

General Tom Edgar, the first white child horn on Galveston island (his birthday was In .Tune, 1837), once narrated his experience as a Juror in the case of a negro on trial for stealing a mule. It. was In 18(1.1, while United States soldiers were still In charge at Galveston. The negro pleaded not guilty, but the testimony was pretty clear against him. His lawyer, ignoring the testimony, based his defense upon the assertion that the negro could not possibly he guilty. "Is it not a fact," ho said, "that the federal government promised to every freed man two mules and sixty acres of land? No man can deny It, because It is a fact. My client has not received his promised sixty acres of land. He has not received his promised span of mules. T7e has Indeed got but one mule, as these witnesses have testified, and the United States still owes him another mule and sixty acres of land. I leave It to you, gentlemen," he said, turning to ihe jury, "if the facts do not prove conclusively that my client Is not guilty of stealing this mule and cannot under the circumstances have been guilty." "That argument,** said Genera! Edgar, "tickled ns BO that we actually returned a vordiot of not frailty. I don't believe the darky ever did tfet the other mule and the sixty acres, but we did all we could to make Unci* Sam's word good."—Success Magazine visited Win. Caskey at Anderson S u n d a y .

A model flat building 1B to be tossed skyward on the South side in Chicago, according to plans arnd specification* famished by a great architect, says tneT Dally News of that city. Maybe ft will be a model, but we are not sure about it. Great architects may know how to butyd mpdel_ IJyery stables or even model theaters, bui, when a model flat building is*, projected t h e prospective tenants should be consulted, since thtey alone; are: competent to say wihen a model tenement is a Sream.

Charles E , Ward, the former Michigan legislator, has followed the political same to Washington. AH private secretary to Congressman William Ixwimer, of Chicago, It was through the relations of private business £h,at Ward became associated with Lorimer's political fortunes. Before t h e shadow fell.; that darkened his legislative career—the trial for manslaughter in connection with t h e death of a T.anslhg girl, Ward- had some little acquaintance with t h e Chicago congreusman, und Ward's brother h a d been associated with Lorimer in iwjitlcs. After t h e trial was over, Ward betook himself to Chicago und lost himself in the city's crpwda. While the people of Michigan we're wondering where he was, Ward w a s keeping t a b on the time put in by a gang of men In Lorimer's employ. It wasn't the sort of thing to * which Charles E.

They did all sorts of underground cbnstructlon work, and Charles E. Ward was with the gang In his old clothes. He drew day wages like the others.

The .governor delivered his third ; nnual message to the legislature on Wednesday, a brief sketch of which t ollows: He saye the conditions which brought the treasury balance below l be necessities of the at ate aa the year was closing arose from a custom followed for thirteen years in the uudljor general's office of reporting to the superintendent of public Instruction the amount remaining 1a the primary schoo) interest fund on Novwnber 1st of each year. i "The balance in-the etate treasury is always at its lowest ebb at the -close of the calendar, --year before ttrevlous to the payment of state taxes by the counties of the state. With the exception of two years only a nominal amount of primary school interest money-has been Intruded in these balances. "When the legislative committees came to make up the general budget ia 1907, they called for information as to the balance in the state treasury at the cloae of the year 1906, and were informed that it waa approximately 12,300,000.00 "No memtmr.,of the. committee and no one connected with either the legislature or the executive office had any reason to suspect that more than < a nominal amount of primary school money, as shown by the average of less than $43,000.00 for the previous thirteen years, was included in this balance. They rightly supposed that as in previous years, the primary *ehool interest money had been apportioned and distributed to the counties Ps required by law. The members of the committees could properly assume that they were dealing with a general fund balance, and they proceeded as was entirely businesa-llke in view of such understanding, to take this large balance into account in preparing the general budget. Had they been apprised of the tact that one million two huudred and twenty-two thousand four hundred and eighty-six dollars and fifty cents, or over onehalf of the balance, belonged to the primary school interest fund they would, without doubt, have added that amount to the total to be raised by tax for the general purposes of the state government, In November, 1907, the auditor geueral withheld $1,- 0G7.494.00 from the November apportionments, an evcu greater sum than was withheld the previous year, while in November last practically every dollar in the primary school interest fund was apportioned as it should have been under the law in each and every year. "It is my Arm belief that every fairminded person will concede that the legislature of 1907 acted ID the utmost good faith in levying a tax for the general purposes of the state government, having no reason to suspect that the balance on hand at the close of 1906 was not available for general fund purposes, as in previous years." 8tat« Treasurer. The matter of the resignation of State Treasurer Glazier is taken up vrith particulars that led up to the rertrement of that official. The governor aays: "The state has thus far been paid •y the receiver of the Chelsea Savings bank two dividends aggregating I276.fi25.il. To secure the deposit of state money made by the state treasurer the bank had furnished surety bonds to the amount of 1200,000» Upon '.he bank becoming Insolvent and its .taglect to repay the state funds deposited with it, demand was made •pon the surety companies for payment to the amount of their several bonds. The American Surety company of New York Immediately responded by paying the amount for which it was obligated, with interest. The other surety companies refusing to pay, suits were instituted by the atton ey general In the circuit court for the county of "Ingham against the United states Fidelity and Guaranty company, the Bankers' Surety company, the Title, Guaranty and Surety company and the Federal Surety company to enforce the payment of their obligations. To the declaration filed by the state the surety companies interposed a demurrer -which was argued December 11 last, but which is still undecided. The amount Involved In these five cases is $150,000. "In addition lo this there is the liability ' of the surety on the bond of Frank P. Glazier, state treasurer, in the sum of $150,000. "The balab.ee due the state from thr- Chelsea Savings bank is $358,962.6S. "It is gratifying to note that the framers of the new constitution sought to safeguard the funds of the state by providing that no deposit of state funds should he made in excess of fifty per cent of the capital and surplus of the depository." State Institutions. 'In legislating for the needs of these Institutions and in the consideration of all other propositions which Involve the expenditure of public else The greatest possible economy L;ouBlutont with a prober regard- fo^ the uctual needs at th» beitum!* aftt' jects audi the duty of 1 bt? ntntv with reference lhureto.v , ''DiAlA' thi iHJlalaWo stolon of 19051 Anfl.ai4dn rfjQsiJ J :.«rgld the enactment of a law providing for the regulation of private bunks.

Wfoffowed by the words "not under state supervision" conspicuously printed. Either plan would Inform the public a* to the character of the concerns. Conserve the Reserves. "I desire to direct your attention to the desirability of taking active measures to Jensen the fire waste of general property which Is ate*4Uy increasing and which, during the past five years, in this country, has aggregated a billion and a quarter of dollars. Michigan's contribution1 to this endrntoua total was in excess of twenty- six million dollars. An annual loss by fir© of two hundred and fifty million dollars is a most appalling record. This means the permanent elimination of this vast value from the resources of the country, for whfle the property destroyed by fire, may, tQ Borne extent, be-replaced, it can never be restored. It la gone forever." Dairy Interests. "The "dairy interests of Michigan have been greatly extended and developed during the past few years; the value of the products of this industry for the past year having increased acveaali millions- of dollars duriug this period. Not a little of this increase is directly traceable to the intelligent activities of the department having to do with these interests! Thie department has also been active in guarding the health of the people of Michigan by constntly warring against the dissemination of impure* food products and in protecting the people from imposition through the tale of adulterated products which although not injurious to health are not what they purport to be." Good Roads. Since the establishment of the State Highway Department a total of 326 miles of road have been built under the supervision of the state highway commissioner*. Twenty-six - counties are now under the county road system and in April next more than forty additional countleB will vote on the adoption of the system. It is the opinion of the commissioner that at least thirty of these forty counties will vote favorably on the proposition. "The total amount of rewards thus far applied for is $408,643. Rejections and cancellations have aggregated $30,642. There have been paid $228,- 215, leaving $149,780 still pending. The legislative appropriations for the work have aggregated $300,000, of which $40,000 was for the current expense* of the department, "It will be observed that the Appropriations thus far made will not be sufficient to pay the rewards applied for in aid of work that Is reasonably sure to be completed. "The increase in road building during the four years that state reward has been constitutionally and log.xlly made has been marked—twenty nl!es of road having been constructed in 195, forty miles in 1906, eighty n Ilea in 1907, and one hundred and sixty miles in 1908. The commissioner la of tho opinion that a great deal more will be built In 1910 than has been constructed in any previous year. "Under the law as it now exists no limitation is put upon the applications for state reward that may be accepted, thus placing upon succeeding legislatures at least a moral obligation to appropriate money to pay rewards attaching to all work covered by accepted applications. "It is n\y; Judgment that the law should be amended so as to limit the excess applications that may be accepted to the amount of the last annual legislative appropriation. Michigan Railroad Commission. "The State Railroad Commission created by act of the last legislature has? made a most satisfactory record and there is no doubt that the departure from the one-man commission which so long obtained In Michigan and th* enlargement of the scope of the laws and the powers of the commission were wise and timely. While the new law is not perfect and needs some improvement, its enactment was decidedly a forward step. "Inasmuch as there has been raised a grave question as to the right of the legislature, undor the old constitution, to delegate certain powers conferred upon the commission, it may be wise, in view of the right conferred upon the legislature by the new constitution, for this legislature to reenact the law and thus place it* constitutionality beyond questma. "The law^?hould be amended so as to give the commission Jurisdiction over water transportation lines which ! are operated wholly between Michigan points." Anti-Lobby Legislation. "Two years ago T took occasion to say to the legislature which then convened that 'The professional lobbyist has no proper place in legislation and the sooner he is eliminated therefrom tho better not only for the public but for the special Interests by which he is employed.' "This sentiment was acain expressed iff specciiaal l ^ i ^ ^ s a d ^ e ^ e j i to the same oociy of lawruakcrff, but without influenjtfPK.Jt to abolish thjj.evll which is condemned by every right-mluded citizen of the state '"uThe""t/rtfeBrfid'iial!Bt 'lobbyist who stand3 ready at all <• times to seryfc whatever Interest is willing to pay him hrs p*dceishouid ibe cairished utterly from lire iialbtal legislation, aud those representatives of legitimate interebts who are concerned properly with .pending legislation abqukl be required to r e n t e r ajid dksoioae the source qf their, employment and the measures which they either tevor or oppose. /"The prope> dfsdharge of.y$ur.duJty t#* your constituents demands thaj this needed legislation be supplied at an early date. The, right of petition and of every person, corporation or interest concerned in pending legislation to be heard should be carefully preserved." Should Pay Ad Valorem Tax. "There ia a universal and just demand on the part of the people of the state that telegraph and telephone companies be required to pay an ad valorem tax and at the same rate as are all other property owners and taxpayers who share the burdens of government. •• • • • ,• it should be o»«,pf.your first duties, gentlemen, to place all the property of the state on the same basis for the purpose of taxation." Primary Election Law. "The enactment of a good, commonsense, easily workable primary election law, the provisions of which can be carried into effect at the least possible coat to the people, is a task to which you should give-early and conscientious attention. There le already on the statute books of Mlohigan 'he nucleus of such a law. The present law Is the best that could possibly be obtained at the time of its enactment. It Is, however, far from being perfect and Bhould be amended so as to more nearly and thoroughly meet the demands of the people. Michigan should be in line with the best thought and methods in this jnattej. "The scope of the law should be enlarged and provision made for making all nominations, state, congressional, county and legislative, that are made by direct vote on the same .lay, all local acts being made to conform to the state law in this respect. This will tend to secure an expression from the greatest number of voters. The greater the number of offices involved in the primary, the greater will be the interest of the voters therein."

A writer in the Krwa State Hegister thua tersely exprebatJB a w«ll-fenuwtt truth; The question ja.wfrert} ia the b^Jftixd ,;q_,be had at the lowest prices, and this the same wi ter points out in the gtune article. The fact la not disguised that the writer baa a personal internet la the statement of hla case, an'd: there ia no hidden meaning 'when he refers to Westers Canada aa presenting greater possibilities than any other part of the American Continent, to the man who is inclined to till the aoll for a livelihood and posaible competence. What interests oue are the arguments advanced by thta writer, and when fairly analysed the conclusion is reached that no matter what peraonaj Interest the writer may have had, hits reasons appear to havo the quality of greai t*oandneas. The climatic conditions of Weutern Canada are fully aj good aa those of Minnesota, the Dakotaa or Iowa, the productiveness of the soil is as great, the social conditions are on a parity, the laws are aa well established andaa carefully observed. In addition to these the price of land la much less, easier to aecure. So, with these advantages, why shouldn't this —the offer of Western Canada—be embraced. The hundreds of thousands of Bettlera now there, whose homea were originally In the United States, appear to be—are satisfied. Once in awhile complaints are heard, hut the Canadians have never spoken of tho country aa an Eldorado no matter what they may have thought. Tho writer happened to have at hand a few letters, written by former residents of the United States, from which one or two extracts are submitted. These go to prove that the writer in the Register haa a good basis of fact In support of his statements regarding the excellency of the grain growing acea of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. On the 29th of April of this year W. R. Conley, of Lougheed, Albarta, wrote a friend in Detroit. He aays: "The weather has been just fine ever since I came here in March, and I believe one could find if he wanted to some Bffiall bunches of snow around the edge of the lake. There? is a frost nearly every morning: at aunrlse it begina to fade away, then those blue flowers open and look as fresh as if there had been no frost for a week. . . . There is no reason why' this country should not become a garden of Eden; the wealth is in the ground and only needs a little encouragement from tfho government to induce capital in here.

Nothing saved the vessel except that we had come up to the berg under half steam and against a terrific head sea. It was night, of course, and the weather was very thick, of course, otherwise of course we would have seen the berg in time." "How about that heavy head sea, captain?" "Why, the wind had shifted, you lubber. But listen, now cornea the bear part. We crashed, aa I have said, into the iceberg, and at least 20 tons of ice came tumbling down upon our bows. I gave the order to full steam aatern; and when we got clear of the berg I ordered all hands forward to Rhovel away the loose ice that had fallen on us. "It was then that I got my surprise. Two men who had tackled an especially big block of ice suddenly leaped back, screaming. The ice, it seems, was not ice at all, hut a polar bear that had been on the berg and had fallen on our bows when we struck. Strange, was It not? The first intimation my men had that tho pieeo of iro was beat was when the piece-of ice growled. j "What did wo do then?

'Nearly a dozen of us, Mr. Painter. How much for a painting of the whole of ua, discount for cash?" "That will depend,*' answered the artist, hiding a smile with hla hand, "upon the dimensions, style, etc." "Oh, that's all fixed," responded the other breesily, with the air of a roan who knows exactly what he wants.

MONTAGUE, t Judge of Probate. I The potions ot trie people of this county came properly before the board of supervisors and asking tor the opportunity of votiog on the local option question at the ne ring election. The saloon keepers of the county triejd every way to put a slop to the proceedings, even going so far as to try to make th8 J a n u a r y meeting il lewral. This of course would - ba,ve w o r k e d ¾ g r e a t hardship to the people ot the county as therrf were many bills to come up before this .setjbion wbere tbe persons needed the money a n d . i l the injunction asked for by the salppBi-fs had not been dissolved by J u d g e Minor none could I ijave been paid and the bonds of the county officers could not have been accepted as of couise the whole meeting" would have been illegal. As we said last week the saloonists and their friends will stoop to any mov« to carry their point and the temperance people want to be on the alert to ward off any of their underhanded methods We do not believe they made any iriends in their move of last week but rather tbe reverie. Tbe move is being tnade on all sides and old Livingston county should be amouv: the — -- - hj-wt in the ranks to oust ttie destroyer TIR rrobatH court fur \ of homes and character. Let us give. it a black eye that it will remember for all rime. What the Peruvians Believed. | A unique Idea of the future state j was that of the ancient Peruvians. Aa the disembodied soul winged its way to eternity it encountered two rocks, upon one of whlcb. it must needs rest. The choice was determined by the morality of tbe life in the flesh. If it rested upon the left band rock it was instantly translated to "Po," or oblivion, a state analogous to the Nirvana of t b e orient. If through early misdeed*, however, the unhappy spirit was guided to the right hand rock it entered into ft purgatorial hell where fiends grated away the flesh from all the bones in succession, after which the skeleton was reclothwl and sent back to earth for another try. There w a s " no haste about this grating process. It took •oraethlng over 10,()00 years. All t h e news for «i.W per year. JJouH Get A Divorce.

"Of eourse ynu know that germs communicate sickness?" "Yes," answered the man who is apprehensive about his health, "and the worst of it is t h a t they get right dowtf to business In their communications, Instead of employing the scientific circumlocution of the medical profession."-- EyhHTuze. fryfr T a k e A Fla£ With You.

There, resting serenely' on the «boaom of the river where in times before Roman galleys had floated, was the, pride of the British navy, the Dreadnought.

Her chief officer, after due caution, and receiving no response, cautiously directed her along aide, and boarded the Dreadnought' over the starboard quarter. The ever Increasing crowd along the embankment drew in. Its breath In expectancy, waiting tor a revelation. It heard him ahout "Below, there!" and leaned forward, listening for whatever response might be given; but nothing was heard save the ateady lap, of the water « n d the farthest sounds of, early river iramv- The officer advanced along tfee deck to the companion way, and leaned cu rioufily. into it repeating his hail, and once more there wag a waif; and no reply. He backed away from t h e en trance; and hesitated. - It was plain that he desired witnesses before in vading the precincts of a stricken craft, and In a 'moment mqre he stepped to the rail, held a abort conversation with those on the. decks of his boat and then' waited till he was joined by others of that force that guards the Thames. Three men clambered aboard and stood by him until they were joined by two others, who, obeying a low-spoken order, stationed themselves at the head of the companlonway. The officer and his assistants advanced slowly, stepped into the darkness and disappeared Into the depths *f the battle ship, while the suspense along the embankment and on the patrol became more intense. It was several minutes before the investigators reappeared, and then they had gone onI^,d s)»6ft jfja'y. into the '.v.e.sbel.

Theo for >th« Brut <stini@ ft Wal learned that this high and mighty •official was missing from bis home and had b*esu aiumuamd to the palaoe -in the night. Np delay coNid he brooked in an event ao startling, and with due certnuoay l^qu^rles were instituted for him. This caused an Investigation In gray old Buckingham, which spread until It eame to the head of government, when it became known that not only was the navai officer missing, but no less a personage than the king of England as well. in gTeat disasters by sea or land where swift Death ravages, men cry aloud lu. their excitement and distress; but when a calamity threatens a nation and a king is Involved, they seek to hide their emotions. Hence It was that in the palace men came Jjurriedly. together without words to those •" around, a&d> in whispers • expressed their anxiety. Jt was recalled with alarm that the kaiser bad left his palftcw in an equally unceremonious manner, decoyed by a stranger., and enticed into the night. Nor was bis fate at uncertain or with more ground for qjiesttoQ, because- there he bad beet* traced to a carriage which had driven away. The king of England bad gone into his garden, and the guards at the galas swore.he had not passed the portals, which they watched. And for their pains they 'Were' doubted and placed under temporary detention until the king should return to prove that they were not in a conspiracy against the state. Perhaps the alarm would have been less keen were it not for the tale of the kaiser; but the cases were so parallel that the conclusion was Innotcing but growsonj*, relics of trag edy, and prepared for shocking sights. From place td place he advanced almost oh tiptoe, and followetl by his companions who stared into darker corners or glanced fearfully behind when the echoes of their falling feet clumped hollowly thrqugh the steel cavern. Once a weird shriek -oaased them to spring toward each other with nervous fright, and "when ;"the *h.lp's cat came mewing up to them, begging W Its animal way for companionship, iAey 'looked foolishly at one another liki» boys who had been startled In the rrfam "of • ghpst tale's told by a dawp fire in the woods. * ' > r Cabin after -cabin and wardroom aft er wardroom was opened and searched; but nowhere cotild'be found sign of disturbance or conflict. There was not another living being aboard to greet them, nor did they find moro awful testimonials of war. r In the eaptaln'a quarters, clean /and business-like, the, roll-topped desk was closed, and the'Jboajicata'top of I^were in order as ,for .inapejctifcS. At its' 'side stood a typewriter with the tfn resting lightly upon if, and a -stenographer's case notebook beside nsatly checked and showing that the last letter or order had been completed. On' the wardroom tabje lay a magazine, .open and turned page downward as though the reader had desired to keep- his place and had stepped away from ft on a sudden call. In the galleys of this great floating homej.pots, ,pans and kettles were placed in orderly array In their racks—no thrifty housewife could have left hor kitchen in better state. In the chartroom the traced highways of the ocean's bed were drawn up in their closed cases, and the hoists * e r e not loaded oir littered with ammunition'as would have been the case had the battle ship been In action when overcome by the enemy. There was nothing above or below offering a key to the enigma. Puzzled and overcome, the patrolmen took temporary charge of the ship, while a boat hurried away from the miniature flotilla, carrying a detailed report t d thfc sflmiralty, where ''.3mt»i «*•!«.•' "•••rt JW*>'J-*w» • In a Moment More He Stepped to the Rail. stantly formed that England's monarch was probably in as great jeopardy as his fellow ruler who had now been gone for many days. The nobles looked at one another askance, and asked what times were these when no person might be so august ae to be immune from, seizure. Where, was i h e limit to be reached? What could be expected next? Was there no possible protection even for the heads of government and society? In the offices of the admiralty those of more or less prominence in the department held a conference and detailed -men to take eharge of the Dreadnought. There could be no attempt to rehabilitate her at that time, iBlstthich-a8 It womld be impossible; ever again tp bring her into service without des'troyiog a span of the bridge below; therefore no coroner's Inquest could have convened with more solemnity thnn did those men who took charge of and boarded this great dead thing of the sea. A derelict cast upon an open sandy beach offered more chance'of salvage thanK the greatest, vessel of the greatest navy of the world, nosed In the mud and practically walled In. And ^hile she lay In this state of helplessness there was forming rpund English shores a formidable flotilla of other war vessels flying the British flag, which had been summoned from all watero of the globe to protect the mother country from German Invasion or If need arose gallantly to seek death beds' hr trre «ea ITT the attempt to fend off the American terror should It be directed against the Island ruler of the waves. As they advanced, captains of this great navy arrived in Ixmdon in response to urgent summons and hastened to the admiralty.

And so the men of the tea passed down and back, while the people of London spent the time in trying to see the latest evidence of disaster, took turns In crowding t o the embankment, and then went to their homes. Business came to a halt, shops were unopened and desks were closed. In th* government offices men moved helplessly, and in homes throughout the country families sat within doors gravely discussing t h e latest manifestation, of 'power. . Nor was t h e public aware that in. higher circles another cause, for anxiety had been uncovered, which was nothing? less than t h e disappearance of .the^^riaw* minuter. A king,' a prime minister and the first lord of the admiralty taken at one time! It w w sufficient to make others of prominence look tat one another questioning when their turn might come and, what the end would be. No one was' safek in this great .crisis, when thrones tottered on their settings and men were Whisked away In the night, when the most powerful vessels of war created by all the wisdom of science and ingenuity of invention might be dominated and handled like, toys. There was no ground for belief that any power other than the United States might have been the controlling' spirit in this'long series of untoward events, but from that nation CTJICT no word, only a silence more menacing than the thunder of distant guns, and more terrible and ominous than an open display of invincible arms- It took no great stretch of Imagination to people the air with phalanx on phalanx of stern and implacable foemen bent on invasion when the time seemed ripe. A country which could flaunt the World was capable of anything, and it was not believable that she was acting without a purpose. But what means did she take? What would be her next move? How had she accomplished those victories already scored upon her tally sheet? Only cine hope for partial explanation remained, and that was based upon the return to sanity of a maddened sailor who had come to them on a life J ^^JBATiltfT SUFFERING Many ,W«iHin Think They Downed to Backache.

The lawyer for the plaintiff had finished his argument, and counsel for the defense stepped forward to speak, when the new judge interrupted him.

The month of March more than any other in the year has a windy record, ao the figures supplied by the local weather bureau station for the month will do to illustrate the fallacy of the expression. From the first to t h e thirty-first the wind movement as registered at the top of the fqderai building was 8,336 miles, or an average of 278 miles a day for 30 days.

In the CSQter the word "Peace" was Hpelled <mt In rosebuds. Everybody in the car admired the Offering, ami when the boy set it down on the door all leaned forward to examine it more closely. At length one old gentleman stood up and read- Justed his glasses In order to get a better look at it. "That is a mighty pretty posy you've got there," he said. "Who, may I ask, is dead?' The boy giggled. "Nobody 't I know of," he said. "This ain't for a funeral; it's for a wedding." The old gentleman sat down heavily- "Good Lord!" he said. "What idiot ever ordered 'Peace' inscribed on a wedding decoration?" The rest of the passengers smiled, and many of them, being married, wondered as well, but nobody ventured an explanation.—New York Times. Mrs" J as.

Death and 8nuff. A. certain Margaret Wilson of Westminster, who was an inveterate snuff taker, enjoined that a quantity of Scotch snuff should be placed in her coffin.

Westminster. Instead of mourning, each to wear a snuff colored beaver hat, which I desire may b* bought for the purpose and given to them. Six maiden* of my old acquaintance to bear my pall, each to carry s box rilled with the best Scotch snuff, to take for their refreshment as they go along." Snuff was also to be thrown on the threshold of deceased's dwelling before the cortege passed out, snuff was to be strewn on the ground at every twenty yards In advance of the cofln, and the officiating clergyman's fee was to be proportionate to the quantity of snuff he oemsnmed during the doe Globe.

She would Itke to put on her best-dress and go t o the theater, or even call on some friendly neighbor. To even suggest suoh <& thing to her husband, however, is to bring on a glowing diatribe on woman's gadding, arid the matter ends there; or bursts forth into a wordy quarrel. Comparisons are proverbially odious when applied to persons; they are .frequently misleading, especially if they deal with a part only of the facts» when applied to other matters. For example, here i» the question ot.the comparative cost of keeping a horse and of running -an automobile.x A gentleman who prides himself on driving a "single cylinder" declares that when he kept a horse and trap he spent upon i t fully $G0O a year. Most of,t£e money was pa,id,-to a servant; for, he adds, **a groom. isy ol course, essential, a s erne can scarcely look'-after* a ' h o r s e oneself." After he bought an automobile, he estimated his heaviest expense as tires, |80; hip next largest, gasoline, $70, and his t^fal annua"! outlay as only a trirte abov* |3O0., P'urfiig «.he. ye-U for which figures are given, he traveled some 8,000 miles, and found that it cost him on an average less than four cents a mile. "1 looked after the m a chine myself, entirely," he says. The question that the situation suggests is, Why not deduct' from the six hundred spent on the horse and trap the cost of the man who took care of therh, oi why not add the expense of a chauffeur to the cost of running the automobile? TJUCEft A N D CONTROL OF W A T * R POWERS IN T H E 8TATE OVERLOOKED. ENORMOUS AMOUNT LOST Chtfrfch Advertising. We do not belieye .that,the average church ca¾ gain", mucli from , news paper advertising. In a large city it serves one purpose only;, it telle strangers whe*e a preacher known tc them perhaps by reputation may be heard. The- advertising of sermon topics is of little value, unless the1 an nouncement fs coupled with the name of a preacher of wide and command ing reputation. Our advice would be to withhold newspaper advertising un lil there is something definite and special to t advertise. When that time comes, be it an anniversary or what ever, expend upon one day's advertis ing what you wived by; refraining from constant announcements. In this way. says W". T. Demarest, in the Homiletic Review, attention will be attracted and you will probably see results. The best advertising of regular church aervtcec. ca'n be done locally In the church'? vicinity, by placard, circular letters, and,personal work. Admiral Cervera, who commanded the 8paish fleet at t h e battta 61 "Sant! ago, was retired lately from active s e r vice a t hi* -own request. Americans will always have a warm spot I n their hearts for the gallant and chivalrous old Spanish sailor. Our own heroes of the "Spanish' war hardly ' commanded more popular respect and affection than Cervera, whose life as a prisoner on the United States was a series of popular triumphs. His humanity and quickness of action in saving t h e lives of Hobsnn and his companions was never forgotten by the American people, of which fact he received the most gratifying demonstrations when.he'arrived here. ——•— Can the 8 U t o Save o r H a s U Lost Vast « u m s Thart Cannot- Be Recovered?— 1» There Somt^rrinfl' Lett? "If the legislature of the tit ate of Michigan h a d taken .proptr cognjaan$e of the value Of the water power of the state, and had provided for Its control by t h e s t a t e on a rental basis, the people of Michigan would presently be so fortunate * B not to have to pay a cant ot »tat« taxe»<or a»y pmrpose."

The Au $able river alone, he added, was worth a bIllk)H dollars, and would capitalize at. that figure as soon a s all t h e power ol t h e stream was developed. ' -VBut," aald he, " I , am at raid It is now too l a t e for the s t a t e to act in regard to some of the most valuable properties in Michigan. At this very moment, although it is in the dead of winter, I am informed that 40 engineers a r e working desperately to conclude t h e survey o f ' t h e Au Sable river, and that they have it all done except that portion lying in Crawford county, where they a r e now working. "The Au Sable runs through four counties, a n d I believe the iutereste employing the. 40 enginewiij.have already secured control of the best power sltes^ jo t{hree of them, that \a to say, in .Iosco, Alqona and Osc,pda. "At any rate, I understood that the supervisors of those counties were to meet for t h e ! purpose of making a grantv<jf the power fotho^e interests' and.that this action was to take'pla'.e" during the fti'st week iu January. And I hj?lieue i t t o - t o the fact that in Michigan, wlu>n the supervisors have" taken this action, there.is no appeal- I understand that the Michigan sur pi erne court ha.s tjo U^ld. If this is th^, east?, 't greatly fear the mischief has beet tiohe so faY'as t h e Au Sable is concerned, or at' lep.Ht the better ,poflioh of that river. "But think wiiat this menns.

It was January of that momentous year when the world's unrest reached a climax, and the president of the United States, his official day done, sat alone in his study, perusiag a report from an agent of the state department and mentally comparing It with precejjip* vpnefc t .$he (shaded light threw- liitd relief against the darker shadows behind the long-, lean jaw, the grimly determined month and the somber eyes, but lent a touch of softness to the queer little lines which told that on occasion the man could show infinite kindness ami humanity. Thrust forward from the ranks of the people Into the most Important office gf the land, driven reluctantly into the arena of action from a seclusion which had for him the charms of peace, he was still a man in peculiar isolation. In this, the third year of his term, he waft yet, unknown and under constant discussion. Half of his countrymen hailed him as the Lincoln of his time, and the other half declared him a tyrant in embryo. He had fought so .doggedly for hia principles, that he had estranged those who had been his most ardent supporters, His disregard for-party-projects had cost him the friendship of politicians; his advocacy of certain reforms had subjected him to caustic comments; his very dignity and sensitiveness had been mistaken for austerity; and only his roost intimate friends understands that m him heat a gr^at heart filled,'td oversowing for his country and fellow men. These , comprehending frienda were few; but among tfc;em, perhapB the most intimate, was the friend of his boyhood, "Old Bill" Roberts, the inventor. ' ' '' Between these two there existed that singular affection found rarely among master minds where each .admires qualities in the other which he himself lacks. To Roberts the president was the greatest statesman of the century, and to the president Roberts was the most accomplished scientist and inventor who had ever lived; but on this night, laden with fate in which each was to play his part, the mind of neither was on the other. Tho Inventor was absorbed In the last of a serieB of experiments that had enmeshed him In a dream whereby he hoped to eradicate friction, and the president was perturbed by reports for which he had waited many weeks. These latter, were exhaustive in detail, and in* recapitulation tersely predicted that U would be almost an im- •Jlity to avert war with Japs* as soon as the reached a state of pr*|>a»t.°B-t TJ">y v * W P t f • *f* P?% aa.v*J?supength, whteg & f W f c t 4 thauol.JtheUQ^ad States, and toid k'ff efrf3f Tavt PHf^ ln jHpun was r*jHlngj<lc«J»lru4fcn fyth all available speed MtHTngbt and* day, HO that her augmented squadrons when built .would be /superior Co those' of the grea£ republic. They reviewed the land preparations by showing that a greater number of men were being drJJJed then eyer before in the eountry's history, and that the redoubtabre army aunt against Russia would be sthkn iri comparision with that which/ could be mobilized tb\ another in vaslon.-• The reports expressed the belief that Japanese capitalists were anxious to setae the Philippines, and were encouraging the ambitions pf the emperor of Nippon to the full extent of their purses, hoping ultimately to find another outlet for investment under their own lag. As if in proor that the government was supporting this bellicose attitude;; the reports gave as a certainty that some high authority was dictating the editorial policies of the Japanese press, and in all ways possible fomenting the ill feeling against the United States. There could be no underestimation of the ability of the naval officer who had made these statements; for he had passed more than ten years in that station of the orient, spoke the language thoroughly well, understood the least at the tenor of the statement which, wnsuread to them. They listened attentively, and remained silent when th^.lMt.wor^.iW^r«ai«jJient«ach waitiagv.ittc.tb9i, ofchar to esptesa-aa* opinion.

"Mr. Sessions," he said-, "yon are probably better informed than any other man of ttoe petalbifttku Of bringing* the navy *• a, point where it may be regarded Kg resistless. What have you to say?" Tne latter showed signs of til tern* par. He wiped the shining dome of his head and stared across the tops of his horn bowed glasses at his colleagues. "For three year* now," he replied, bitterly, *I have endeavored to get appropriations consistent with the needs of the country; did everything I could with dignity and a little more; tried to get friends to pass bills, and gave them statistics showing just what our position would be in this event; but there were always a few "watch dogs of the treasury" who succeeded in defeating everything attempted." gave him silent sympathy, knowing that In case of disastrous war he would be the one to stand in the limelight and defend himself fot not work* ing miracles unaided. The gratitude The secretary bowed anfl left the room, and the- fmeaja^fnn v a j reft sumed. It continued only a moment before he again ~rfrjpefered/and^v the ttswnfird him. j^* stasis a little aa- ^1^00^ fge JB<jrjs|jJf^ apologiiced, "and Insisted on my coming back to tell you that he wanted to see you now. The president and others in the room laughed tolerantly, knowing the inventor's peculiarities. "What else did he say?" the president asked. "Said he'd be hanged If he'd go i-itil he saw you." The laughter in the reem increased, "tteitf he had- found sQmet&Jng that would enable,the jio.vernmeiit, to whip.. the. Japanese/; iuid been reading reports showing there was no time to waste, and wasted to tell yon about it at once." The merriment subsided aa quickly as it had been provoked, and the hilarious ones, grown grave, looked at each other in astonishment and wonder. Here at the very moment of dis-- tress was a man who had 4oae mere toward strengthening the--aatkm'a agents of offense and defense than any other individual, confidently asserting that he could sh^ew them the way out COULD NQT SHAKE IT OFF. iiniitivt \*Con id by The * sands In the-CIvil War. The president looked at him reprov? , o t t n e 4 r .difficulties. The president ingly, but said nothing. The others 6rd**ed that" the caller be conducted The Inventor Entered Room. the people, and above all was no alarmist. He gave it as his final opinion that within six months, Japan, her navy completed, her' soldiers drilled to perfection, and her treasury, well supplied with gold, would find pretext for a declaration of vrar, The onjy means of preventing this deplorable event, in his judgment, was to place the American navy in such a state of pronounced superiority that it would stay the warlike Japanese and hold them lit the leash'of awe. The president read the. last clause again, and with a algh of discontent leaned back in his chair. Hour after hour he brooded over the complexities of the situation, and late at night came to the conclusion- that he must lose no time in calling together his most trusted advisers, lay the report before them, and then by consultation and discussion decide which would be the most promising policy to pursue in so grave a crisis. Before he retired the orders were given to his secretary which resulted in the first meeting of that coterie of r.ien who wore to assumo the full responslbllity for the conduct of war which afterwards fulfilled the expert's prediction. They gathered informally on tho following night, nor could it have been, observed by their demeanor that they were to discuss' a situation of vital importance to f>ie nation; but. forewarned by the president's call, they expected newa of distressing import, therefore, were /net surprise* in of kings was no more open to sarcasm than the gratitude of republics. "The report says," continued the secretary, gloomily, "that war may be anticipated in six months at the furthest, and that our only safeguard is to bring our navy up to a formidable force before that time. Well, we can't do it! With all the facilities at our command we can't build ships in a night, nor drill men to men them In a day. W« shout about our resources* and we have tham* but it takes time to utilize them." His outapoken pessimism loosened his hearers' tongues; but the most optimistic could find nothing encouraging to say. It was obvioua that the country In any event would be un prepared. They were discussing emergency plans, when the president's secretary' appeared in the doorway. They turned to him. wondering what could elaim the chief executive's attention at that time of tho night. The secretary walked over to the president and addressed him In a low tone. They caught scraps of the conversation. "Says he wants to see me to-night?" "Yes. and I didn't like to refuse n man of his prominence, or one who 1? -4o closely your friend." 'Won't he talk to ycu?" "Not much! Just laughed, and aald ho wanted to see you personally." "Well, go tell him I would be glad to see him ordinarily-; but that I am in preien so see me tomorrow;" to the room at once Had It been any. less a personage than the famous inventor they would have paid small heed to the promise of hope; had they been informed in less troublous times that such an Invention waa pending, they would have looked upon it with great Interest and curiosity; but now, when all avenues of escape seemed closed, when the eagle's perqh waa rocking beneath i u talons and ifcwas threatened by merciless foemen, they stared at each other in amaxed silence like men who had been reprieved. It was in the midst of this stillness that the inventor entered the and stood bewildered for a moment, peering from beneath the thatch of his brows at one and another. Then, satisfied that his visit waa opportune and that none was present whom he did not know, he gave them indrvidtml greeting as his acquaintanceship warranted. "You were not expecting me," he addressed the president; "but it ap- .pears to me that there is no one here who should not know what I have to say, and who is not directly Interested In what I have to show. I am gjfd you are all here, gentlemen," he concluded, turning to the others. And then, following the example of the president, he seated himself, and the others did likewise. They were strung with a suspense which he did not share. "Informal, isn't it?" he asked the president, and when assured that such was the case he calmly drew a handkerchief from his pocket and swept ft across, the dome of his forehead. All were waiting for him to speak; but, with exasperating slowness, and without asking permission from the president, he thrust a hand into the roomy folds of his sack coat and produced a bundle of long stogies, one ef which he carefully withdrew and examined with great care. He thrust it Into his mouth and revolved it, apparently for the purpose of tightening a loose wrapper. He turned to the chief executive. There was an air *»f expectancy ln the room and a leaning forward, that no word of the great secret might be lost. They caught all he said. "Got a match, Mr. President?" he asked with the utmost nonchalance. They dropped back into their seats* some with exasperation and others smiling. The president gravely supplied his want, and then, as the evil odor of the weed was wafted round the room, ho sat, back in his chair, with the tips of his fingers touching each other. The secretary of war was beginning to fidget with impatience. Roberts puffed three or four times, fixed his eyes on a cornice as If he was- the sole occupant of the reom, then calmly reached into a pocket and drew out a parcel which he laid on the president's desk. was fixed upon him he tilted tfie stogy In his mouth to an angle where the smoke would not interfere with his operations, and began unwrapping the package, throwing the newspapers on tho floor at his feet. Then came a fold of silk, and last of all a sheet of tissue paper, whose crackling crfspness sounded startlingly loud in the stillness of the room. "There!" he remarked triumphantly, exno«ing~two small plates of metal not differing greatly in appearance from two pieces of burnished steel. Eagerly all thesp ln tho room crowded forward, while the president gingerly took ono of the slabs in his fingers. "New explosive?" he a&ked. "No, they're harmless." The Inventor smiled.

And there are gorap practical fruit growers glv- I ing these plans the test of actual trial in a business way. So far there have been some rather conciliative results that others would do well to ob serve.

The::j er.r bo allows a grass muleh» declares Prof. Van Daman, In Orange Judd Farmer, ^y this I mean that the graas, weeds. etc., be mowed and forked under the branches of the trees to serve as a mulch. By growing cowpeas in the interspaces and letting the crop rot on the ground, or pasturing it down by hogs, much fertility (nitrogen) may be added to the soil at almost no ex pense. If potash in the form of muriate or sulphate, and phosphorus In some of the preparations of^bono or rock phosphate, aiv applied liberally, there should be no difficulty in keeping the soil rich. wlkitfi Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect* See that your horse is not allowed to go lame.

Since their organization about one year ago they have been t a l k i n g ot and a r r a n g i n g , for this exhibition and with t h e help of the officers and support of the business men of the village were able last week to give one of the bust kind ^>iven in the state. This is the report of those from t h e outside who have visited others. There were about 600 birds entered in the show besides 200 or more that were on exhibition on "midway'" which was one of the most interesting places in the auditorium as it contained many specimens of birds both tame and wild that we seldom s e e . There were birds there trotn a bantam that weighed only 10£ ounces to the wild goose and sv\ans that weighed 25 and 30 pounds, T h e M a n d e n n e ducks were very noticeable for their beautiful plumatre and of course the pheasants, peacocks, doves of all kinds, etc. came in tor their share. Of course the regular poultry men were interested in the "real t h i n g " that ol the sho*v birds, and there were plenty of them. T h e strains seemed to r u n this year nearly all to the heavy ones although there Were a few of the light weights in evidence and j of conrse came in for their share of premiums as there were b u t few to show against. Not so with the heavier strains as th ;re were hundreds of them and many were very fine so that it was only the matter of sometimes a fraction of a point to change the premium from first to second. J . W. M&cNames of H a m b u r g was the j u d g e and he was kept busy all of the time as the matter ot j u d g i n g by points takes time and a good knowledge of birds, and the choice of the association in securing Mr. MacfWmes was no mistake. There were several birds exhibited from this section and while ttiey did not secure first prizes they only lacked a lew points and sometimes a balfj point ot it. M. R. Mortenson secured 2nd and 3rd on Buff Cochins and had he also entered them as a pen might have got a prize on that. Fred Teeple entered three Barred Hocks and secured 2nd a n d 3rd on them a n d on one hen, was off only a half point from 1st. T h e hen had three black feathers. Mr. heynolds not only received the premiums as stated on pat?* 5 but we learn later that he secured a first, as well, and his Orphington cockerel scored 95 and was counted the best in the room.

The president alone sat buried In thought, his brows drawn, into a frown. , "Gentlemen," be said, and there was that in his voice which demanded attention, "I should like to ask Dr. Roberts a few questions. I wish To knpw if this wdrk of his can be carried on so secretly that no other power—not one, nor even the people of this country— can become aware of his discovery; if he can suggest a means for such concealment; if his work can be done so expeditiously, with full government support, that within three months from to-night the American navy can be so equipped as to make it the most powerful in the world; and whether he realizes the importance of such haste."

Nothing but Robers' known ability prevented them from looking upon him as a «rank. They inspected the objects before them in turn, parsing them from hand to hand with blank looks. Only the secretary of war, who in his earlier years had been a metallurgist, shewed any signs of surprise or amazement. He turned excitedly away and Crossed the room to a side light, against which glare' he hSblcT the little plate, staring at it fixedly. The inventor smired, and the others renewed their interest. The secretary hurried baclt, "What on'earth la it, I*r. Roberts?" he asked, and then without waiting for in explanation continued: "I never uaw a nietai that looked or felt like tt. What is ft?" "Gentlemen," said the inventor, recoveting the slab and balancing it in his hands, "that is a new plate that can be made cheaply and quickly. If it does what the laboratory tests show, it will, when applied to cruisers which can now steam 20 knots an hour, make 50 knots an easy gait for them." There was a gasp of astonishment amounting almost to incredulity among those who crowded round, and the scientist, eh Joying the effect of his words, smiled and smoked. A moment's pause ensued while the possibilities of the discovery dawned pn them. Those who knew him least weVe again questioning his sanity, and then, as if all at once they could wait no longer for him -"to explain, they hurst Into a chorus of questions, which he did not answer.

I'll tell them what we need and they can tell me how soon they can deliver It where I want it. I'll want machinery and apparatus, supplies and assistants,. Money and men! Money and men!

He folded ^the precious pieces of metal into their coverings, while the others stood silently by, and, aa if abashed by his own outburst, bade them a curt 'Good' night," and walked from the room. The others, with the burden of ratieence upon them, filed after him-one by one, contemplating the strange change which might be wrought by this night's work, and wended their way to their homes. The fog settled down closer and impartially spread Itself _ over the river, the White House and the patrolman on his beat, but until the dawn came stealthily peering over it all the president wrapped in thought sat at his deak and in imagination saw invincible ships of war bound out to certain victory. And all his hope was founded on a war for peace. He started to say more, his big somber eyes glowing with some new thought, and then, as if afraid of his * * »W&*/ *«***»-^il***^wit* * t u a i ^ w n conceptions, .stood expectantly before his lifelong friend who was facing him. "Bill, Bill!" he said, brokenly, "do you see what depends upon you?

Try to realise what you have, and what we can do, if those two pieces of metal will do all you think tb?y will!" His long ungainly arms reached out, and he put his hands upon the smaller maa's shoulders.

J.- CHAPTER XIV. The Birth of a Clty.v Like criminals afraid of the light, and seeking the cover of darkness, a score of the most distinguished enen of the United States, occupying its most responsible positions, and bearing the burden of government, came to the White House, which loomed massive and apparently untenanted. They came singly, obeying the instructions given them, left their conveyances at a distance, and walked unattended to the dark portals, which opened and closed behind them. AH were aware of the porferitdus reason for their visit, and the importance of the utmost secrecy. Qbseryant indeed would have been the foreign spy who could have surmised that they were gathering to discuss a plan involving the defense of the nation, or the acceptance of a challenge to war. There were only two visitors who came together, the inventor and his daughter, and they were the last to enter the room, where those who preceded them were divided into groups round four officers of the navy* who were answering questions, quoting figures and volunteering details whfch were not written. The men at the head of the nation were preparing to plunge headlong into what under less immediate menace would have seemed a sea of folly ready to submerge them and their country. The entrance of Norma was the signal for an abrupt halt in the conversation, and some of those who were not entirely familiar with the part which she played in her father's work looked at her disapprovingly. He, interpreting these glances, Introduced her as his assistant, and concluded by saying: "I can't do anything without her. She knows more about my work than I do myself, and as far as I know she's tne only woman living who can keep her mouth shut." They smiled at his manner and cynicism, while the president tendered her a seat at his side arid waited for the others to resume their chairs. "All of you are familiar now with the possibilities of the invention offered by Dr. Roberts—" "And his daughter Norma," interjected the inventor. The president accepted the alteration and continued without a halt— "and have gone over the reports of the four most expert men in the United Staates, who have passed the day with the inventor and his daughter in their laboratory, are convinced of the merit and practicability of the discovery, and have prepared statements of what supplies would be needed, the time in which they could he obtained, and their approximate cost." There was a look of acquiescence, and the secretary cf the navy, who had been paying no heed whatever to J the chief executive's remarks. ru.st:.-il j the reports in his hand as ho turned j another pase to scan its contents. The i •room becajne still again, and the speaker went on.

The president reached over to^a mass of papers before him, referred to some of them in quant of data, and then looked yery grave and earnest as he continued in a lower voice: "Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. We are without precedent, and are confronting an emergency of such immense import that those of us who were here last night believe it is a time when all rules, official routine and regular methods must give way in behalf of quick accomplishment. We have no time in which to ueek special appropriations; but must take it upon ourselves to levy upon the various budgets which. are now open for the considerable sums of money necesaary to prosecute this work." One or two, who were evidently late arrivals and had not heard the earlier discussions, looked at each other with some hesitation. It was hard to drop routine and dip into the natron's treasury on sueh short consideration. The high dignity of the presiding .officer, however, forbade any interruption, and be went on unchallenged. "The absolute preservation of our secret is recognised by all as a vital necessity, and to obviate all leakages the members of the army and navy board suggest that our work be car-t ried on in one of the most secluded of the Florida keys. On this they purpose to erect a plant adequate to cast and perfect this metal on which we depend, and as rapidly as possible apply it to the vessels of our navy, which will be sent there as quickly as preparations can be made for their reception." Norma, who had not been informed of this part of the project, gave a start of protest, foreseeing that she, too, would have to share in this isolation and become an exile until the experiments were concluded. Her father turned a questioning look toward her, and then reached over and patted her hand in sympathy. The president was steadily summing up the situation. "The navy department will attend to purchasing suppKes, including machinery and crude metals necessary for the first work, while Dr. Roberts will place his orders, for apparatus, and all will be consigned to the eolliev Penobscot, whi«h will transport them to the chosen spot. The gunboat Harper will accompany her, and will be the first boat to be experimented upod and equipped- with the new plates. Rear Admiral Brockton will, be assigned to her command fpr the present.

N. erlete, Esqr., £p0a*fc»V<Waabiagton.~- JDear Sir; After -a stanea or more years of unsuccessful effect dn the mercantile business- in Weston* Washington, in August, 1903, decided to come to Alberta with a gentleman who was shipping two cars live stock to Edmonton. I assisted this man with the stock over one hundred miles out in the Birch Lake Country! East of Edmonton. Indeed, how surprised, how favorably everything compared with ,my; dream of what I wanted to see in a new country. "Had never had any experience In farming, but I was immediately converted into a farmer. And from that moment I have prospered. Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake? I returned for wife and three small children and freighted out from Edmonton in March following year we shoveled a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent. and commenced operations, at that time we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway station, with churches and schools, telephone and good road accommodations. "We are enjoying the privileges granted to any rural district in Washington. The Birch Lake Country is no exception, this great transformation is rapidly going on in every district in Western Canada. "I estimate that every quarter section in every direction is capable of producing a comfortable living for a family of ten forever. After paying for two horses and a cow, had juat $10.00 to go on. Did my first ploughing in my life. I was very awkward in my work, but nature was glad and I was abundantly paid for my efforts. Our cattle has increased to about fifty head, which was very profitable on account of the abundance of forage. To farm was compelled to buy about four hundred dollars' worth of farm machinery on lime, and the payments fell due last Mil, and you may wonder how I expected to pay for them when we had such a bad year. T w a s a little bad for Western Canada or for a Missouvian. But is not 35 or 40 bushels oats a pretty good yield per acre in many States? Then the price of grain went out of sight, so when I had sold my crop I found I was able to make my payments nicely, besides we had lots of feed. No one has any business1 raising cattle without growing grain, or vice versa. As to the winters, did not feed my cattle, excepting the calves, a fork of hay until in March. Have found the winters much more pleasant than we did in Western Washsmall transport which will carry such i ington. This is strange and hard to engineers and mechanics as the navy department may select for a work of this importance. CpthmAnkation will be maintained by such means as seem best to Admiral Brockton, and more men r«nd supplies will be dispatched from time to time as required. It ia needless to say that the entire experimental work, the casting of the plates, and the general supervision of everything, will be under the direction of Dr. Roberts." "And his assistant," the Inventor again interjected. (TO BK CONTINUED.) SOME LARGE FRENChTFAMILIEa. Official Statistics Give Figures That Are Rather Surprising. Small families are the rule in France, but there are some striking exceptions. The following data were taken by Consul Chapman Coleman of Roubaix frcm the latest official statistics of the population of France. According to these statistics the total population of France is 38,350,7£8. The female sex exceeds the masculine in numbers, the figures being, respec- ! lively, 19.533.S99 and 13,81*,889. On I the other hand, an excess in the num- | ber of unmarried is shown on the mas- j cullne side, the respective figures be- 9,917,178 and 9,114.356. There are 2,- | 384,897 widows and divorced women, j as against 1,005,884 widowers and dl- j vorced men. j The number of French families is j 9.781.117, of which 1,314,773 are with- i out children; 2,249,337 have but one! child; 2,018.665 have two; 1.246,264 have three; 748,841 have four; 429,799! have Ave; 24S.159 have six; 138,769 ! have seven; 7l.SU have eight, and 33,917 have nine children.

Two of the leading horses were cut off by the mass of snow and debris and carried down the canon hundreds of feet below. The camp of the Asenfelder Freight gang was completely wiped out. Forty horses were carried into the canon and burled.

Purporting to show that $40,000,000 of the $122,000,000 naval appropriation is wasted, and that gigantic mistakes and incompetency are responsible, George Kibe Turner has a severe shock to the navy department In an artiole in a current magazine. He says that the cost of the navy this year Is twice the sum which It cost to run the entire federal government just before the civil war. If It keeps on at, the present rate 25 years from now it will cost annually as much as the federal government does now—two-thirds of a billion dollars a year. "If war should break out. tomorrow," he says, "there would be no place in the IJnited States where a fleet of ships could be repaired after a battle." Turner declares that the navy appropriation is prey for politicians ID congress. "A Little Cold is a Dangerous Thing" and often lesds to hasty disease sod death when neglected.

And It's just that bit of blindness that we have to call chance.—London Chronicle Chinese and Europeans. Europe knew next to nothing of China or Its people prior to the conqvj^ tB of the famous Genghis Khan. The commotion rnised by that monster made Europeans somewhat acquainted wKh " F a r Cathay," as China was then called.

THE DEVILFISH. He Is Not a Man Eater, but a Gently Reared Monster. Contrary n> popular belief, the devilfish is not a man eater, according to an official publication issued by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, after un authoritative study of the subject by l>r. Theodore Gill, associate in zoology in the national museum. "The food of the devilfishes," he says, "so far from beliiL? large animals and 0 0 casionally a man or so, tis has been alleged, appears to be chiclly t h e small crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans and young or small fishes. Uu rely dues 01m prey on large fishes." Dr. (Jill says that in a number of re1 spects the young devilfish grows up under nursing and training remarkably like that of a human being. I t is nourished, for instance, from its mother's milk. It is a peculiarity of t h e devilfish, he adds, that, instead of laying many thousands or millions of eggs, it normally has only a single youn^ one at a birth. A baby devilfish Is some-' times as broad as five feet and weighs twenty pounds or more. Dr. Gill adds that devilfishes move about from place to place In a sort of submarine flight, speeding themselves along by flaps of the long winglike tins. Day Dreams. If you have a particular piece of work to do, get It done. Don't wait for the tuoiil to strike you. Don't dream! There are more precious hours v.asu.! In day dreams than any of us would ( a r e to think about if we counted them. The queer thlug about day dreams Is that so few of them ever amount to anything. The dreamer Is only semiconscious when building his nlr castles, so. as a rule, they have no practical foundation. While you are at work, keep your mind on what you are doing, and do not let it wander off to what you would like to be doing. Only by keeping your mind on what you are doing now can you bring it fresh and keen to the things you like doing best, when the time for doing them comes. Thinking too much about even great happiness takes the "edge" off i t The best time for day dreams is after VMI '--VC p ; ; e to bed.—Nevf York Aiut.'i'ieau, The Better Part. A delightful little story is told of Prosper Merimee, the French author. He was once guest at n royal hunt, when hares, pheasants and other game were driven before the emperor and his followers, and the servants picked up the victims of the sport. Among all the members of the hunting party Prosper Merimee alone had no trophy to display. "How does this happen?" asked some one. "Where gime Is so plenty the merit, of a marksman seems to me to lie In hitting nothing," replied Merimee, with grave courtesy, "so I fired between the birds." Waiters on Horteback. In great French houses of days gone by dinner was announced by the blowing of hunting horns, and It is on record that at certain gala feasts the dishes were brought in by servants in full armor mounted upon rnparlsoned horses, a practice we could only look for during the reign of chivalry. Of the attendants at dinner the carver and server took precedence over all tho others. They stood probably on each side of their lord. The server, It may be mentioned, was the officer who placed t h e dishes on the table. Tit For Tat. First Teacher—You told me to remind you to punish Willie Thompson Jhis morning for Impudence.

Over 55,000 sailors were thug treated during the last fiscal year. This care of sailors serve* two useful purposes besides its direct benefit to the sailor, remarks the National Magazine- for January. S e a m e n taken ill or injured while e n route to, or at a port, would necessarily have to be left by the vessel for treatment at the port which in the majority^ of case* would not be the s a i l o r s home. The sick would therefore suffer unmerited neglect, or become a,_l)Urden upon the charity >of a comnMihjiy to w h i c £ they did not belong. Further, if the Illness be'of a contagious nature, they become a menace. Deep-water sailors, because of the nature of their life, are prone not to i o r m family tie*, and when these m e n contract tube'rc.ulosis, as many do, they both suffer thems e l v e s beeautee o f t h e lack of a home in many cases, and in addition endanger the community In which they 'live. For these men the service maintains a large sanitarium at Fort Stanton, New Mexico. This sanitarium is on a reservation of 38 square miles, located on a plateau in central New Mexico at an altitude of 6,150 feet. Here there are 200 or more patients continually under treatment.

But It 1« in a good cause, that this psychic annihilation has been endured, and the world will bo disposed to praise rather than blame him for what is an act of real providence and forehandedness.

The Beer Maker*' Fight. The Michigan State Rrewers' association is laying plans for taking before the supreme court the constitutionality of the local option law. Several of the best known constitutional lawyers in the state are now. going into the question and the basis of action will probably be a suit now pending in the circuit court in Calhoun county. In this action, the liquor men began mandamus proceedings Saturday to compel the board of supervisors to reconvene and listen to a petition of the liquor men to throw out the petition asking for the submission of the liquor question. The liquor men charge that fraud was used by the anti-saloon people in their petitions.

"Vanishing F!e«ta," u story of "what might have happened," opens in Washington With the United States and Japan < on the verge of war. Guy Hilller, s«cretary of the British embassy, and MI*a Norma Roberta, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hilller atartu for England. Norma Roberts with military -officers also leaves Washington on mysterious expedition for: the Florida ooast. Hawaii Is captured by the Japs. All porbs are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world ' becomes convinced that United States has some powerful war agency. England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection HRainst what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hilller is also sent to Canada to attempt to force liis way through American lines with a message. British fleet departs amid misgivings of English. Fleet mysteriously disappears. HI liter makes a failure of effort to deliver meBaaga to the president. War between Great Britain and Germany Is threatened. The kaiser disappears. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States, and upon promising to present the missing British admiral, the monarch agrees to accompany Bevins on tour, which the latter says will uncover the agent of war and end all conflicts. The Dreadnaught. biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point in the Thames, much to the mystery of the kingdom. The story goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and Is to be applied to vessels to increase speed to over 50 miles iin hour. C H A P T E R XIV.—Continued. The secretary of the navy, obeying a suggestion from the chair, read off a • long list of figures, explaining them as he went, and concluding with an unqualified indorsement of the plan. So infectious was his blunt enthusiasm and confidence, that those who at first had hesitated at the irregularity of the procedure found themselves won over, and bound with complete unanimity into a coterie which was to assume responsibility for a war. And thus was the issue accepted. The early hours of the morning were upon them as they dispersed, but Norma, resting back in the corner of the cab which conveyed her homeward, did not share the elation of her father, who was already building workshops, conducting new experiments and equipping a navy. Yesterday she had looked forward to confiding the story of their great success to Guy Hilller; for in the preceding month, when she and her father had been trembling on the very edge of a great discovery in unknown fields, she had given no intimation of their work or their prospects, planning this surprise, and now, by the rigid embargo of r> lence thrust upon her, her dream was dissipated. To her the production of the radioactive metal had meant p goal; bHt now that it was reached and she was anxious to satisfy a hear£ hunger, she had been- given another task, and was to.undergo m,Qre silence and repression and another siege of work 1¾ a world of figures* of test tubes and retorts, a slave to the lamp of science and her father's success. Not even the knowledge that she was sacrificing nertelf.orr the altar of dtity to country, whose" protection and welfare were burdens <hat she must share, palliated the bitterness of holding love aloof. And in this light the triumphs of invention seemed hollow and the night filled with dreariness. Thetfc were no more regular meetings of those who conspired f o r the. national food; but it was a Mason of terrific activity, and February was yet 3'oung wh'en there sailed away from New Yark harbor* one night a gtmboat, a collier and a small transport, whose destinations were unknown, and which slipped, their moorings in silence and passed down the bay with scarcely a sound to' ann'dundfc tb.efr departure. On baard the gunboat were men accustomed to unquestioning obedience, and on the transport was a little army of Rkilled mechanics and engineers who had been called from their usual occupation by imperative orders and requested to tell none hut their families that they might be absent for several months. There was not a man aboard any of the craft who had not taken a pledge of absolute secrecy. The collier, blade and maseive, was loaded almost beyond her carrying capacity, a i d sven on her, decks ware piled lumber and great sheet* of cor- ' rugated iron, bearing evidence of fttHf held* below. And all this cargo had theliifltprjt rtraib^d.jrojk^hJDjd i $ 8traag»'»ltoetyof. toaslfcery. rtcponjt of Mg&eMpoMUHill d#mA4i;iin& u f i hawed ..of apparatus* were, »tf**d away wftbc*^ia*of chefinltt&ntr fhs- mine* o T t ^ 40HtbV the 4 * « ? « i r W» south hid contrfbutetT crude metals or partially smelted ores to the assortment. Driven by expert minds and masters of executive Work, an army of men in different walks oTlileiutd given their ingenuity and effort toward something of which they knew not, aad then the result of their labors had poured out upon a wharf, been swallowed up by th# cavernous holds of a collier, and were now: beta* carried out into the broad reaches of - the Atlantic, with destination unknown. A general order had been issued and made-public, that, Inasmuch as the poaching of Cuban fishermen on American grounds round lower Florida and the keys demanded attention, the gunboat Penobscot had been detailed to patrol those waters. In the United States this attracted no attention; but the swarthy fishermen of the tropics took warning and no longer steered their smacks to the forbidden waters, shrugging their shoulders in impotent wrath. Rumor had it that the transport was carrying mechanics and laborers to the, Philippines, Where a new drydock was to be constructed, and the cdrfer was generally supposed by pirate ships of old bent on plunder sad raulae The days of the voyage were js^qch alike; filled with 'work. Dowillh the cabins the engineers and inacninhjts drew hasty plans of buildings, then marked spots where nmchlnes were, to have floor space, drew, diagram/ Jtor transmission of power, aad consulted charts showltfjf' 'the^daptfcs' of water round their prUipec^ve shipyard. They had not even time to watch the devious course in and out among the Islands which marked their entry-to the scene of toll. Wneri the pulsation*- of the screw ^topped and the ship ceased her vibratioas,i they were still at their several tasks, and were disturbed when the anchor chains went rumbling through their feawaer pipes. Like an army of ants,, drilled and acclimated, they swarmed out upon the land, the sappers clearing the way, the carpenters donning their aprons and grasping their tools while piles of lumber; kegs of bolts and Balls, and mountains of iron sheathing accumulated upon the beach. And then, as the ringing of a multitude of hammers and the steady biting song of the saws filled the' air with 'sounds of industry, great cases of machinery swung up from the holds, floated dizzily to the bulwarks, and went slowly down to the lighters. A city of teats sprang up as by necromancy, with gutters to carry off the rains, and sewers to prevent disease. Camp Burgeons, accustomed to sanitation superintended these outposts, paying as much attention to the spreading of a mos- Great Cases of Machinery Swung Up from the Hblds. men of tho waterfront to be laden with materials for this work. And so/despite the momentous.significance of the sailing" of these three ships, the world remained in ignorance, paid little heed, or forgot. Those voyagers who were in the secret looked forward With eagerness to the task before them, realizing to the full that on them depended much. And of these was Norma, who leaned over the stern rail of the Penobscot as it dropped down the harbor, watched trie llgnts of the city grow dim in the distance, saw the great* silent statue of liberty rear itself against the sky, and felt the first free swell lift and sway the deck beneath her feet. Her departure had not been pleasant. There on the land behind was the man whom she seemed doomed forever to hold at arm's length. She had parted from him with the announcement that her father was compelled to go south for a time, and had insisted on her accompanying him. For how long? Ah, that could be but conjecture; perhaps for two or three months. Was he ill? No. not exactly; but he was going away and needed her. Yea, she would write occasionally from Miami, Fla.; but not often, bncause her charge would demand her time. And so, answering and evading, filled wit>h yearning, and yet debarred from giving confidence, she had bidden him good-by and come to this: Sailing away in the night with all the furtlveneaa and mystery which enshrouded quito net to keep away the dread stygomia, as to tautening the canvas roofs and clearing the grounds. All available means of a resource fill nation had been gathered together as an expert driver seizes the reins of a four-in-hand and guides his horses along a known road to a given destination, and all with the regularity which would distinguish the work had It been the most unimportant- action of every day industry. Norma, having no part in this task of construction,.wandered idly up and down the decks or round the clearing throughout the day; ami as she watched she saw the birth of a minia fure city, a a r the heaps at -material on the beach dissipated, saw tall steel smoke stacks poke thefr summits upward supported by spider-like cables, saw shining, corrugated roofs spread themselves protectingly over floors whereon machinery was already being placed, and wondered at the accomplishment. The sun1 went down, losing itself among the keys and waters of the farther west, before a bugle gave a qutrk imperative summons and tho toilers dropped their tools for the evening meal. Many of the officer.-. some nf them «ri*lmy and stained with work, their linen no longer immaculate, and their hair unkempt, came aboard the gunboat, for dinner. They ate hurriedly like men in the field, and one by one. with scant apology to their frdlow diners, disappeared. Norma was almost the last to leave the cabin and appear on deck, which to ber aw> along Its deserted Jajoffth t a w etuue a whistle* tram t|#}*f>rj. ! j . * - '• Darkless iasVdMQenffd abnfetly. and piled its blackness *uver the* is-*' l a g ' s And tke seasj 0 the tfofjc* The palnj gnsfafan* ^ i b - ^ ^ j t J o the wesjt ^er^^llhotteite<f^gain^Ht*t|fe last faint light of day, and from me swamps i of the Island came the cries tf-'jalgnt fowl, the whir and chirruping noise of : insect life, 'and the iriotootoncrBs croaking of frogs. Swinging here and there In erratic circles, like faijjes of the J*mgle carrying lighted lanterns, went the fireflies on aimless journeyings, not a few but many thousand* of them, as if in a wild dance of curiosity, looking through the night to learn what manner of things these were that had come upon them so suddenly, ripped away their forests and built strange mansions in their solitudes. It was not this, however, that chained brer attention. High up over this mushroom city where all had been silent and darkening when she went below, now gleamed myriad lights strung as by a genii of the lamp while others rested from their toll. White, flaring streaks of brilliance thrust spearlike rays into the gloom, illuminating below tbem the creation of a day. From the distance came the steady bum of steam driven dynamos, telling with monotonous insistence that there would be JBO cessation until the last spike was driven, the last machine s>t and the last belting hung. Into this spot of the night began to come black figures answ~erlng the call of the siren. On a sudden, as if by preconcerted signal, the echoes again^ awoke to the clang of hammers pn steel and the hum of voices in command. Like weird pygmies doomed to twist their thews in never-ending effort, she saw them resume their uncompleted task, exerting themselves unceasingly for its accomplishment. A launch which had come alongside on some errand was sputtering spasmodically . at the foot of the ladder below as if impatient to be off. She boarded it; and in a Tew minutes a smart young naval officer stepped into the stern; gave a curt order, and they raced away toward the shore. "Ah; good evening, Miss Roberts," he saM, suddenly spying her. "Looking for your father, who went ashore awhile ago, I presume? I'm going right in his direction, and will be glad to guide you." He seemed too busy for further conversation, and almost before the boat had come to a stop sprang to the shingle and offered his hand. Through steadily working groups of men, past unfinished buildings, arid over lighted floors where machinists wrought with levers and wrenches, they went to the,far side pf the camp. ; Here were officers with coats cast off and sleeves rolled up, and laborers in overalls intent on setting a huge blast furnace; and in the very heart of this activity, besmirched with dirt, his hat discarded and his shirt j thrown open, she feund her rath* r. Not even he with all his weight of years Could resist this terrific call of energy. She stood and watched for a few minutes while he. the master spirit of the group, directed the work. It'seemed to have passed its critical! point, and after some final instructions to the engineer in charge he straightened up and looked round. "Hello, here's the assistant," he said, walking toward her and looking fondly into her eyes. She besought him to , rest, and her appeals were seconded . by those of the officers who feared for the physical strength of this man ; on whom so much depended, and who would have guarded him as a precious jewel of untold worth. He protested at'first, and then, like one waking from , a 'dream and suddenly conscious of a ^reat. weariness, made no objection when the rear admiral, who now looked like a workman, put his hat ) upon his head and tendered him his : coat. He permitted them to throw it over his shoulders, and finally, with a look of infinite satisfaction at the growing structure before him, took his daughter's arm and tramped away. | He was an old man again, yielding [ the tribute of age to the toil of youth. J They boarded the boat and sought their cabins; but. even as they retired there c a m O o t h c m through the .open portholes* like a lullaby, the sounds , of unremitting labor intermingled with i ihe lap of waves on the coral beach. • The first creative step toward a nartional victory and supremacy had been taken in a day. even while the war cloud across western seas •sras gath- j oring strength for its overcast; and, waiting, wondering, and expectant, the world WRS unaware.

J While making a tramp through Switzerland 1 stopped at a house to aak for a drink of water. 1 w a s re ceived by a kindly old lady, Who gave me u glass of wine Instead of wuier and added some biscuits. During my refreshment a handsome vehicle stop ped at the house, and a gentleman it contained asked me the road to Interlukeu. Seeing me regallug, myself, he alighted, joined me on the trelllsed ' pore li and asked for a glass of wine. The old lady brought him one, with more biscuits, and we sipped, munched and chatted. The gentleman proved to be a fellow countryman of mine a n d asked me to proceed in his carriage, an invitation I accepted. At leaving he was surprised a t not being permitted to pay. the reckoning. He Insisted, but the good lady w a s resolute. Before getting into his carriage, he took a piece of red chalk from his pocket and made certain marks on a window shut ter. • "Those a r e tramp marks you have made, are they not?" 1 said, surprised. "Light up," w a s his reply, handing me a cigar, "and a s we roll along I'H tell you a story. "A citizen of St. Louis determined for t h e benefit of his health to drive with his wife and daughter to Denver While crossing 'the plains' his vehicle which w a s not fitted for such rough usaji'e, broke down, and the party w a s stranded in t h e middle of the Great American desert. The traveler scanned the horizon for help and fortunately far to the eastward saw a white speck which he took for a prairie 'schooner.' I t w a s from twelve to fifteen miles distant, and he expected that fully three t o u r s would be required for It to come up. "But the white speck grew much more rapidly than could be accounted for by a schooner. As it came nearer those watching it were filled with astonishment. It was a schooner indeed, a schooner on wheels. The body w a s boat sb"aped, a n d masts extended upright from t h e front and rear axles, each mast supporting a sail. A man sat in rear of the front axle holding a tiller. As he drew near the party he applied a break, lowered his sails and said: " ' C a n I assist you?* "Considering t h e roughness of t h e man's dress and his unkempt appearance, t h e party were surprised a t his respectable bearing. " 'My dear sir,' said the gentleman, •the first favor I would ask of you Is an explanation of this singular appearance of n wheeled boat on this oKl ocean bed. Is It the ghost of some prehistoric vessel wrecked ages apo many fathoms above us?' " 'No, sir. When an ocean surgea here there were no boats.' " 'Well, who are you and w h a t are you doing In this strange craft?' " T ' i a tramp, a born tramp, and must always be moving just a s n born soldier must always be campaigning My father sent me to school, to college? and gave me a profession. I wanted to travel, and he sent me abroad. When he wished me to stop traveling and go to work I became a tramp. Finally I got tired of making my legs go or riding under cars and wished for some method of propulsion wherein the cost was only In the vehicle. I did a little work for a wagon maker and while at his shop constructed this ship of the desert. W h a t can I do for you?" "There was nothing for the fellow to do b u t take t h e party aboard, wThich he did. The gentleman demurred at the tramp going out of his way to favor a wrecked party, but t h e land sailor said every way was his way. The gentleman and his family got aboard, the two older ones on a back seat, the girl forward with the tramp driver. As they sailed along before a ten knot breeze, meeting people by the way who gazed a t them in astonishment, the old lady looked sour, the old gentleman winced, wbllo the youn£ girl giggled, evidently enjoying the trip immensely. In this fashion they rode all t h e way to Denver, and when they reached the city were followed to a hotel where the travelers proposed to stop by a Hhoutlng mob. "What it was about this degenerate son of a worthy sire to attract a youn^ girl nobody could ever find out, but the traveler's daughter had to fall in love with the sailor. Seeing her heart w a s set on having him, her father consented on condition that he would stop tramping, or, rather, sailing over the face of the earth, and accept a position in his office in St. Louis. T h e fellow loved the girl so well that he made the sacrifice, a n d they were married. "The tramp stood office work as well as he could for six months. It nearly let him crazy. During the time of his Imprisonment in a counting room he disappeared for a month, ostsnaibly on business, but really to tramp.

When the nineteenth century was a* yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their toddles a t the so called Hole In the Wall, a small clrcu lar room just off t h e postorhce of the upper house. T h e latter body then occupied what la now t h e chamber of the supreme court, and t h e postofflce was across the main corridor of t h e building on the same floor. When a wearer of t h e toga found himself in need of a "snifter" he had only to cross over to t h e mails department and pass through it to t h e little circular room aforesaid, which was about the size of a pantry. The Hole in the Wall was the first senate restaurant, and t h e bill of fare for edibles w a s short, though to t h e point. There was ham, guaranteed to have been smoked for six months, a veritable sublimation of the pork product; there were corned beef and bread a n d cheese, b u t very little else. They served, however, a s an accompaniment for the fluids, a n d when the Ilole was crowded, a s w a s often the case, senators ate their sandwiches outside, in the postoffice.— Washington Post.

ASKYOURDEALER l U C L A R G E C A N BETTER THAN SOAP The Aurora Borealis. The aurora borealis, or northern light, Is something that we have all heard about, b u t very few, perhaps, can give any explanation of It. No one definitely knows what causes it, but the scientists a r e pretty well agreed t h a t it Is due to electricity. They believe t h a t the light is made by the recomposltion of t h e positive a n d negative electricity always in the upper and lower strata of air, respectively. M, Lenstrom made an interesting experiment In Finland In 1882, his object being to determine t h e nature of t h e aurora. He had the peak of a mountain surrounded by a copper wire, pointed a t intervals with tin nibs. When he had charged the wire with electricity a yellow light appeared ou t h e tin tips, and a n ex amination of t h e light by the spectroscope revealed t h e greenish yellow ray that Is R marked feature of the aurora. This evidence among scientists is almost convincing, for It Is by means of t h e spectroscope that we discover the constituent parts of the sun und the stars, Exchange. T h o u Dlest on Point of Fox." Pox blades were celebrated all through t h e sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for their excellent temper, and mention of them Is frequent in English drama. This is their history: There w a s a certain Julian del Ret, believed to be a Morisco, who set u p a forge at Toledo In the early part of the sixteenth century and became famous for the excellence of his sword blades, which were regarded as the best of Toledo. That city had for many ages previous been renowned for swordmaklug, it being supposed that the Moors introduced the art, ns they did so many good things, from the enst. Julian del Rei's mark was a little dog, which came to be taken for a fox, and so the "fox blade" or simply "fox" for any good sword. See "Henry V.," act 4, scene 4, "Thou diest on point of fox." The brand came to be imitated in other places, and there are Sollngen blades of comparatively modern manu facture which still bear the little dog of Julian del Rei.—London Notes and Queries. A Royal Snake Slaughterer. The "secretary bird" Is one of t h e most precious birds In South Africa. It Is royal game, and any person destroying one is liable to a tine of £50. Majestic looking birds, they stand about three feet high and generally go In pairs. They are of drab color, with black, feathery legs, and are valued for their propensity for killing snakes. Where the secretary bird is seen there are sure to be many reptiles about. The bird beats down its adversary first with one wing and then with t h e other, at the same time trampling on It with Its feet until the snake is sufficiently siunned in catch if by the head with its claws. Then the bird rises far up in the air and drops Its victim to the ground, to be killed. By this means thousands of venomous reptiles are destroyed. London Scraps.

The law, which follows the old statute to a considerable extent, contains many features which are absolutely new: First, The revoking of a license of any saloon keeper who shall have been three times convicted of crlm inai infraction of the laws; Second, No licenses shall be granted to any saloonkeeper. who is not a citizen of the United States; Third, The same law that applies to saloonkeepers in regard to obtaining licenses shall be strictly enforced concerning, so-called social clufcs; Fourth, Druggists will be obliged to take out a license the same as a saloonkeeper it taeir. ski*4a&sav i n any way conflicts with the spirit of ,t,he law; Fifth, Every personal bondsmfcn must qualify in the sum of three thousand dollars with every additional bond signed by the same person. The provision for allowing saloonkeepers to take out the bonds from a bonding company organized under the laws of the state is retained. The law fixes the hour of dosing, throughout the state at 9 p. m., and orders closing on every Sunday and legal holiday and election day. These provisions, however, Are'sruHJect to heing voted upon by the peeple, and the principle of home rule predominates throughout the bill. •.

The ways and means committee of the house has framed up its program relative to the budget for this session for the expenses of state government. As soon as the estimates of the various state institutions and state departments have been prepared and furnished to the committee a schedule will be prepared. At the head of the sheet will be placed the amount necessary to take care of the deficit existing in the Btate treasury, which will amount to more than a million dollars at the end of this year. Below that will be placed the amouuts asked by the various departments of state and the institutions, the total will be added and then the committee will begin pruning to reduce the amount to a reasonable tax levy. Gray Wants Capitol Enlarged. Another effort Is being made to s e cure addition to the state capitol. Representative Gray, of Lansing, Introduced a bill providing for an appropriation of $400,000 for that purpose. The bill Is similar to the one introduced two yeara ago except that the pay of members of the commission, who will have the construction in charge, is reduced from $7 to $5 a day, and provides for paying the secretary *3 a dav, and superintendent of construction $4 a day for time actually devoted to the building under the contract. The bill went to the committee on1 public'buildings,'where ft will probably remain. The Junkets. The joir \ committee of the two houses appointed to investigate the water power properties of the state, developed, and undeveloped and the methods various persons and companies have used and are using to gobble up these properties, left for the upper peninsula, Saturday nigttt, the legislature having adjourned to February 9. They will spend al! the week there visiting the Son, Eseannba, Menominee and pet'laps one or two other places. John H. Clraddock, one of the experts of the federal department of commerce and labor, has been detailed to accompany the committee. An official stumgrapher will also go along. Them will be "throe junket parties, The fisheries committees of both houses left Detroit Saturday morning on its tour of the state in the private ear of the fi?h committee, and the regular institutional junket, left Grand Rapids Monday morning. They will all go by different routes, but somewhere in the upper peninsula they will cross trails and will come back together. SENATE DOINGS.

Broughtbuf Canadian G<?X" eromeut Agency, 135 Adams Street, Chicago; We had .audacity enough te tackle the proposition of buying foui sections of land in, Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. \Ve fenced three sections and the two homesteads, .and built a house, barn, corrals and granary, and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat, and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winters are mild; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to say that the average farmer can depend on having a yield In average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre for spring wheat; and winter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 30 bushels, to the acre on the average. We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep, after having sold 140 ,fpr mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire, which are worth $20 each. The average price received for mutton sheep wa&. $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their entire living from our pasture, running Lo t,he-stra>v stacks for shelter at.night. "The increase of land values has • been extraordinary. Our land four years ago eo*t UK a little less than $6.00 an acre. We have sold one section for $15.00, buf we would not sell any more for less than $25.00 per acre, He Was Received with Open Arms. an hour young Lozier died of acute indigestion and heart failure.

There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be fourid who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. ^ During the past 30 years we have published thousand^ ol letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia £.

Sprains Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises. It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the tenderest part without hurting because it doesn't need to be rubbed — all you have to do is to lay it on lightly. It is a powerful preparation and penetrates instantly — relieves any inflammation and congestion, and reduces the swelling. Sloan's Liniment is an excellent antiseptic and germ killer—heals cuts, burns, wounds and contusions, and will draw the poison from sting of poisonous insects. Price, 25c., f>Oe., and $1.00.

Mr. Gardner is to be congratulated on his success in doing hie work and the village on having so complete and tine a system. Of course there may be accidents happen to the machinery at times but we shall have to bear with that as tbey have to in sister towns, as we have noted from time to time in our exchanges how they have had to be sometimes two weeks without any light, owing to a break in the machinery. However in talking with jtlr. Gardner, we think he is studying on a plau to iinpove the system if possible and insure constant service to all at any time and over corfle breakrges—or at least tide over them. No one thought one year ago that we should have Electric lights in Pinckney, but we have and can be proud of them. The Weather. Since our last issue we have had another variety of weather.

From the shore came a dull, moan- /ng sound, now rising, now falling, but incessant, as if some gigantic animal, Btricken and suffering, was shrieking the anguish of its. death throes to the solitudes of the keys and the waste of waters round them. The frightened birds took flight to the north to escape the weird monotone, and the timid animals of th« forest cowered in fear ' but the* men [of the Island looked at one another exultantly, with mutual congratulations on the rapidity of their work. The blast furnace which was to cast the plates was being blown in. Days and nights of unremitting toil had followed that first landing; machine shops had been completely Installed, power plants perfected, and buildings for the men erected; additional supplies had been received; and another gunboat, the Columbia, augmented the. patrol which pasaed. ceaselessly round the key*, guarding their secret and warning inqutsltve fishermen to avoid the waters; corps of expert smelting men from - the mines of the west had joined the colony—anfl all ..for this, the casting of the first plate, which was to take placenthia day, ., \ In the assay rooms there had been the constant .testing of. crude.metals, and atfporttontng them and discarding those which were inferior. Trajned hands were those that forked over the bucking boards* and ^manipulated^ the delicate scales Which..would register the tiniest mark of a lead pencil with a.8* grgjit frccurfccy; as they •>would a pound weight Everywhere about the plant wer# men who wroiight with pre-' «iekm •s)o^Jnt#raet, -bound together in the great enterprise until differences In a^tfon-were-forgotten ahti all were ; *aa a^fftirj* praying for success. "Old; BiU*RQberts..aasJale4 by his daughter, naV^rtattted her foot but theirs to "enter the room where liA sft> paratus was installed, and no hand but theirs !to; touch Its cempMcsJred * mechanism-' With the;'lpve.pt a crts* atc-V Be had spent the last hours fondling its cote, um*e¥pbhsive parts and adtcrstirrfJ k, and then eteod and ; watched, as a mother watchef her flrstbdtn, the initial movements of the great.•masterpiece which' Was \ inystery to all the world but him and Norma. Engineers and officers from all parts of the plant, warned that this crucial teat was at hand, gathered round the door of the innermost room, until Invited in by the inventor, and then slowly entered and found standing prates At a safe distance from the inv trtcat* -mass, whose polished knobs, twisted barf «*d gleaming t*tbe* to them a tangled rtftU* •here .round the apparatus, ligfftly trying m ad/ustment oV closely inayedtoleVao* (lr*yn*,into«a *cowI jof.con-; n ^ e l f ^ f j h a l ( ^ o c t j p n e A So afefuf w i s he that ire even hrtpected^ the duplicate apparatus which stood; as a reserve at the other **nd of a casting mold-; but "which.it was not his intention to -• HUB except in case of emergency. Satisfied that all was in readiaetp, b^e-beckoned to two aasjsaants, who trundled lti the first-com* poaite plate and deposited it in its bed. - He jnade t h e connection with the electrodes in a few minutes' deft work, and theo^traightened up. and looked about the room, where all was still and expectant. The wowSeYing engineers saw him wave' his daughter back a short distance as though fearing for her safety, watched him-take a final look over his appliance, and then throw a switch, arjljiant streak* of purple, of unknown reds and glaring whites, raced each other in quick succession through the tubes, little indicators here and there sparked out malevolently, and the machine seemed to leap, strain and throb with a life of Us ovm, uncanny and mysterious because of its silence. The group of men peered curiously at the plate, saw4 it glow a dull red; pass the cherry stage to a dull pigeon blue, and then suddenly burst into a gleaming mass of iridescent white., "Fusion!" one. of the engineers whispered t o * men beside him. "He has fused that plate in lees time than it could be done by any means I ever helrd" oT. Tha t is the way he metamorphose* hh? metal." The rays died out, the apparatus stopped its quivering, and the inventor with hands clasped behind him stood Intently watching the now cooling metal. Within the laboratory all was, silence. From the adjoining buildings came the regular sound of hammers,' and from somewhere off toward the cabins a man's voice was raised in a song of soldiery. The sheet of metal lost its color and became dark. "Old BUI" Roberts pressed a button above his head, and cooling sprays began dissipating themselves over the surface, sending up brief splutterings and clouds of rapidly diminishing steam. "It's cool enough now to handle," he said In an oddly constrained tone of voice, turning to the engineers, "and if some of you will help me carry it to the testing tank you may see me prove the first plate on which hangs the fate of our country." In an awed hush of expectancy they all volunteered; but only three men were needed to hold it while it was attached to-the great arms which were to revolve it in the water and demonstrate its resistance. The inventor threw a switch, and the sheet began to move. Before him was a dial, and beneath it a scale of friction pulls showing the resistance offered by normal metal. He fastened his eyes on the indicator with a look of strained watchfulness. Slowly the needle point swung round as the arms gained the maximum, of speed, and theii It came to a standstill, while a look of doubt and perplexity crept over the scientist's face. "Norm," he called, huskily— "Norm! Was everything all right? Is'everything working true?" She took a step behind him, and with a look no less Worried than hla own stared at the dials indicating the speed, of revolution and the scale of resistance. "Yes, father!" she replied, gently, "everything is all, right." Shej put her arm over hie shoulder as if to *hield him. "But something must have gone wrong somewhere else*. Come away How arid let us think fit bvW.M ' : • " «' She turned to the wafting~ officers behind and r.looked them' calmly in their faces, while the inventor, dazed and uncomprehending, ran his fingers through his shock of white hair and gazed at the telltale dials as if hypnotized by two staring eyes. . "Gentlemen." she said, "the flrat experiment is a failure!" * • Those "among thera who had been slightly skeptical Bintted art; o w an* ojher, while those whose belief had pheea^mofe ftrln toofced' sympathetically at this slip of a girl, who faced them ,aU tft^teady defiance, her trust In her fatfcfr, herself and their invention un- -shaken and unfaltering. "You, Mr. Jenkins." she said, addresslnur one of the engineers, "are 'yfcurself a scientist a"nd'ran experitnentalist. You of all present know how easy it is foT a tiny mistake to , rob delicate work of definite result." There was a note of appeal in her voice.that reached them.all. As if with one accord they rushed forward, grasping her hand and surrounding her father, giving them words of encouragement. It was the gruff voice of the old admiral which aroused them to renewed ection. "Pshaw, Bill! That's nothing." he growled. "Here! We've got more plates cast.

They smiled at one another as it dawned upon them that the plate had been forgotten.

The plate on which they were building their hopes had disappeared! Where the insulated tank which held It had reared Its squatty length was now a ragged hole in the floor, bordered by the slivered ends of twisted and shattered wood, and beneath this was a yawning hole several >feet deep, broken electric wires, and the great slab of metal. Norma, as if the excitement of the discovery had acted as a tonic, released herself from the supporting arms, walked to' the shining brass structure, and leaned against It. Brockton pulled off his cap and scratched his heed in a puzzled way, and Jenkins removed the glasses from his nose and began nervously polishing therd. The other engineers gaped at e*ch other, at the inventor and then bacx to the hole wherein to all appearance'*- was burled the thing on wnich they had built all their hope. "Old QUI" Roberts stood by its edges, looking down and examining the broken wires, a picture of perplexity or des ©eJr. He came back and crowded through their midst, examining a connection and tracing ont one of the strands, and then stood in listless attitude, his brows drawn into a frown, and his arms* hanging loose "and pendulous ' from his shoulder*. The time stretched into minutes, and Jenkins and Norma began a discussion, to which the others listened, striving to understand the phraseology of electrical science, of which many of them had little more than the layman's knowledge. Suddenly a sharp cry came from the inventor. They looked to the other aide of the room, whither he had retreated, and beheld him Jumping up and down like 4. a. madman.. His flats wete etetched and throat into the sir, where they a M1 opened clawlike and waved a tremolo of excitement. "I've got it!" he •creamed. "I've solved it!"

The admiral suddenly dropped his bulk to a stool. "Good God!" he gasped, "ar^ you mad?" Nooua, like one from whose eyes a hoodwink has been suddenly removed, and appearing almost to have read her fathers rut ad. put her hand out to his shoulder and looked at him searchi&gly. A slow grin of great exultation swept over the lean old face Into Which she peered, drove the wrinkles into the corners of the. eyes, and a mass of radiating furrows round the mouth. •" .-.,^ ,_, .._, "Ydu've gueesed It," he said, and then turned AO'ttre admiral. "Brockton, you don't know what that hole meant; but In ah hour from now I'm geing to ' flhtfir yoti. r' That is, Norma', ttiy assistant, and I will." Then In a sudden frenzy for.work he asked them all to leave until he sent for them, and they, wondering and speculating on his next endeavor, obeyed. Only the workmen, who bad descended Into the cavity and were preparing to hoist the plate and mold, and the admiral, by special Invitation, remained. The. cianc^pf hammers resounded hQHowly through, the room as the timbers beneath the Itoor were shored up by the carpenters:- then came the setting of another and larger tank than the one which had been so unexpectedly driven into the earth. The smaller plates which had been intended only for experimental purposes were ' exhausted, and therefore " they had nothing on which to operate.save two immense castings weighing many tons. Wide sliding doors rolled back, and workmen from the foundry, with straining muscles and clinging toes, slowly pushed in low-wheeled cars on which rested the huge pieces of metal. A steel crane projected Its ungainly arm, reached slowly down, and In a Titanic grasp picked up one piece, moved it into position over trje new beg, a^nd deposited it in a great basin whose material indicated that, it would be able to withstand any heat. 'The admiral in boyish exuberance wodld have thrown wide the door; but the inventor, remembering the other contretemps, forbade. The latter busied himself for a few minutes in his storehouse, and returned with a sheet of peculiar insulation which was of his own invention, almost indestructible by heat, and a resistant to any form of radioactivity, which he placed with great care on top of the huge, plate. The second plate was lowered squarely on top of this, clamped for additional security, .and. the workmen dismissed. The connections were made in identically the same way as in the previous test, except that one electrical apparatus was attached to the upper plate above the insulation and the other to the one beneath. Brockton, seeing that the currents were about to be applied, backed off Into the corner, until stopped by the farthermost partition. (TO BE CONTINUED.) HOW TftAPPERS LO«C.

SWARTHOUT, Village ClHrk Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help i t Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But don't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been eorry for it—when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone is subject to indigestion. Stomach derangement follows stomach nbtis<.>, juiU as naturally and just av, surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching qf gas and nauseating lluid, bloated sensation, gnawirg pain in tbo pit of the f-tomaeh, heart, burn (s(vcalled), tiiarrhoca, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling—you need Kodol. And then tho quicker you take Kodol—the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tablets," physic;;, etc., are not likely to bo of much boneht to you,*in digestive ailmoni::. Pepfiiu is only a partial digester—and physics are not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect, digester. If you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of ail kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well as we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach—but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That is what Kodol does—rests the stomach, while the stomach gets well. Just as simple as A, 13, C.

Fi 6 0 YEARS' EXPERIENCE The members of the State Sup- ©rrl-iors Association, who met at l i n k i n g last week, among other things took up the matter of a a toe and went on record as favoring a law requiring automobile owners to pay to the state a license fee of *10, the fuiid collected to be used to aid in the construction of good roads, the supervisors being of the opinion that the machines do more damage than any other vehical using the roads. If.they get the bill passed it is to be hoped that they will give the anto driver at least scrme rights and protection on those roads. They do have some ^rights today but if some were to ride a (evr miles with a reasonable driver of a car they would find there are many times when they are hindered and bothtred by other rigs and have no chance whatever. For instance:—We have ridden with others and found the same true in driving our own car, that when overtaking a rig the driver of that rig would hold the center, of the road for sometimes two miles, compelling the driver of the auto to slow down and even stop to keep from running into the head rig. Agaiu. We have seen the driver signaled to stop for a coming rig and when hehas done so and waited for the other to drive 40 rods, the horse paid no attention to the auto—did not even know it was there. The driver is obliged to carry his lights at night, front and rear, while the driver of the horse has | no such lights and the autoist can not see him until too late. The driver of the horse can see and hear the auto no matter how dark, but the autoist has no such protection. In some cities they are compelling every rig to carry its lights for the protection of all. Of course these are pleasant things one meets while on the road and must be met to be appreciated. Of course there is the other side when the driver of the auto needs a good lesson from the law and many times he gets it. However there are two sides to the matter and all should be fair. If the autoist is to bear a big share of the road making, let him at least have some rights on that road. Local Option AofeA HOD. Perry J \ Powers of ih« Mail and Express, Caiilla, Mich., spoke at the opera boose in Howell Monday evening of last week on the local option question. Wexford county went dry last spring and the fact that Mr- Powers in his paper previous to that time was against the move and now is taking the platform in favor of it is one of the strongest arguments in its favor. He says there are many less arrests, bank deposits show an increase of 151,- 229 more than the year previous and business in general is much improved. Does not think Cadillac will ever return to the saloon, as 98 per cent of the business men are now for local option. The Fowlerville Review of last week published two columns of letters from the editors of papers in VauBurean county where they have had local option for 18 years. Everyone wrote over their own signature and one of them said: "The only newspaper in the county which actively opposes the law, is one whose columns are openly for sale, the editor having made no secret of the fact that he had sold out to the liquor men for the campaign expected in this county tbis spring." This sets us wondering. (?)

We always do our own threshing, for we have a 22 horsepower threshing outfit. "Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a number of »boraes of less value, and Instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing ~a value in the neighborhood of $5,000. "Regarding raising grain, which is the main factor In our district, I am proud to say that we have always had good success. We have raised wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suffered from lack of sufficient rain, Our Wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We tiave broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop.

If the wprld had pot passed beyond the age of myth-making, the disaster in* southern Italy would be ascribed to the turning of Enceladus in his sleep. Enceladus was one of the giants who rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, according to Virgil? and*burled under Mount Etna. When he turns in his grave th,erearth, quakes, (and, whep he breathes thej mountain belches forth Are and smoke. It was the peculiar geographical and geojqgical formations round Sicily and the Strait of Messina that gave rise to many of the ancient myths. The rock of Scylla, dangerous to navigators, was believed to be the home of a monster which seised the sailors from the decks of the ships that passed too near. The whirlpool of Charybdis,. across the strait, was said to be caused by another monster which swallowed the sea and spewed it out again three times a day. The Sirens lived on an Island In the neighborhood and charmed sailors to their destruction. They were finally foiled by Odysseus, who closed the ears of his sailors with wax and had himself lashed to the mast of his ship. So chagrined were: the three'sisters that they threw themselves into the sea, and were tranBfQr,med,l!ntp,,nrocky islands which bear their names. ?nr "Alaska is a cold and barren region and is almost useless except as a hunting ground for the seal and other fur-bearing animals," declared a standard school geography published BO recently as 1875. The discovery of gold served materially to broaden that view, and- a representative of the department of agriculture now reports that the territory's agricultural possibilities have been grievously underestimated. In the Yukon valley he has ripened oats, barley and winter wheat for successive seasons, and found them fully as heavy as the beef, grain of the states. Grasses grow abundantly, as do all the hardier vegetables; and when it comes to live stock, Galloway cattle, a long-haired, hardy breed, stand the climate well. Such facts suggest that It should not be difficult to carry out the al|n ¢^ the AJaska-Yukon.Paclfie exposition, "to correct the common Impression that Alaska and Yukon are nothing but countries of cold and gold.!' .

Chamberlln goes to Washington to be sworn in ma United States senator, the acting governor of Oregon will be a woman. It is understood that Gov. Chamberlln does not intend to relinquish the office of governor until he takes the oath as senator. There will consequently be a period during which he still will be governor after ,he leaves the state. During the governor's absence from the state It has been the practice of the governor's secretary to attend to the official business. W. H. Catena, the present secretary, it is understood, is slated for a Judgeship and will be succeeded as secretary by Mrs. C. B. Shelton, who for several yearB has been the governor's stenographer, and as the precedent will be followed Mrs. Shelton will be the acting governor. The Canal Work.

Taft, state inspector ,of nurasries, has made the unwelcome discovery that" the brown-tall moth, one of, the most dreaded tree pafasltes known, has invaded Michigan. The little pest sneaked over from France as, a stowaway In an importation, of nursery stock by a Michigan grower. Every effort will be made to stop Its being fruitful and multiplying, including* arsenate of lead s"pray and oil solution. The moth has been domg much damage in Massachusetts, where a million dollars is avidly spent every year to get rid of It. In Europe It does great harm, but Is held somewhat In check by parasitic Insects, for even these pests have their "little ones to bite 'em." The moth is white and about as large as a cabbage caterpillar. It gets its name from tufts of brown fuzz on Its abdomen. Burled Together.

Guy HllUer starts' for England., .^orma Roberta leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii Is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed.

The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, Is discovered at an Impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, tailing of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels te Increase speed to over fid miles an hour. | A city for the manufacture of the my*, tarfous discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' drat attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. CHAPTER XV.—Continued. 'It's all right this time," the inventor assured him. "Wild current and wet floor before, badly insulated handle, too. All fixed up now. Won't be any accident this time," and so* on, making the final inspection of his apparatus as he talked. Norma reviewed J her father's work, to be certain that all was well, and then at a nod from him took her station at the other monster which had not been used hitherto, There was a simultaneous movement on their part, and, as if suddenly endowed with a soul, the iights once more flashed here and there, glaring at them with sinister contempt— Franken steins under control! The admiral, fascinated by the mystery of science, stared at the whitehaired old man who was calmly watching his play of colors, and then at the girl who with equal self-possession and coolness manipulated the strange currents beneath her hands. They were animated as by one mind, throwing their levers and switches to and fro at Identically the same moment without looking at each other, and the click of the closing currents came in unison. Not until then did they step back from their stations and interchange what seemed to the admlraj mutual glances of congratulation. "That assistant of mine Is a wonder!" was all the old man said as he came over, dragged a stool up beside that on which the officer sat, and gleefully rubbed his hands together. "She thinks more clearly than I do." Brockton, who had been tense as a violin string and had almost forgotten to breathe, drew a long breath and looked at the girl, who had been leaning against the wall as though exhausted, but was now watching the slowly cooling metal. He would have asked questions; but the inventor turned to him and with an air of triumph said: "I wish you* would inwite all those who were here when we made the first teat. Then you will have the explanation, unless I am again mistaken." The admiral obeyedr and even as the cooling sprays were sifting over the great pieces of metal they came trooping in from the work which they had resumed. There were men from the draughting rooms with pencils behind their ears, engineers from the outside with shirt sleeves rolled up and forgotten diagrams under their arms, and one man came from the laboratory absentmindedly carrying a test tube, balancing it so that he might spill none of the liquid which it contained. Norma was now resting calmly against one of the huge dead machines. In a tone 01 unusual gravity Roberts addressed them. "Boys," he began— they were all boys to him—"you have witnessed the accidental disco\» ery, I believe, of the most powerful force the world has ever known. You have been fortunate. In more than 78 years of life I, who have spent the time in strange studies and stranger work, have had no privilege so great. Yam have all -been kind to my daughter and to me, and I am glad you are Sara now." H e paused-for a moment order from an insane man consigning; him to inglorious death. The voice of the admiral put an end to the wait. "Go ahead!" he said quietly. "Those plates may weigh tons; but if Dr. Roberts tells you to pick them up, you go and try it." With the absolute'precision of training, the officer's heels came together and his hand to his cap in quick salute. He strode to the plates, . and stood opposite Jenkins, while the spectators craned forward, speculating as to what freak of madness was to be demoMaatrated. Jenkins, grave and unquestioning, looked across at his companion, nodded to jiim, and together they stooped and caught a handhold. Together they gathered their muscles as if for some prodigious exercise of strength, and simultaneously strained upward. T o the amazement of those within the room the great masses of metal outward sense but readily expiaHuWgf carregt" been -maintained, taw plata In the llght.afi Ul^siatlMwbu4rke/s>J before t h t t i ' biftpsji the* 'range T ot 1 charlatanry;,^ m perversion gf all known physical lews, there bun* motionless i a ^ < * s ^ W d e ^ n d « f r ' ^ t W * | S > e l f for tlsfi ffctattpn* agkreH'tT<rtimj>i metal tUi^M^m tttftmW would have been beyond £b$ power of their combined strength to lift. r "Aha Itafndflfif plfreldV beneath'" It, enjoying their surprise and supremely triumphant, stood a quiet little old back as though )fhe: .had:* received a u | man smiling up at his daughter, whose hand? he/was holding. CHAPTER XVI. '"'' '"'' A*n invincible Arm! The officers, still doutfting their senses, stood'before' this uncanny manifestation like men in a world of unreality. From without, for some unaccountable reason, the varied' clamor of" industry had subsided to silence, and the soldiers' song was finished, tiven tbe yellow light of the afternoon which Altered through the window panes appeared strange, spec* j tral, and unearthly. In the shadow of j that massive thing whfSh hovered above them, Nature seemed bent on the revocation of her laws, and for an Instant their senses reeled ia the struggle for comprehension. "Old Bill" Roberts broke the spell. He reached up and touched the tip of a finger to the mass and moved it gently toward them with no moio ex- Norma Was Now Resting Calmly Against One of the Huge Dead Machines. came up with such ease that they were lifted breast high without perceptible effort. "Higher, higher!" called tho old inventor, springing toward them and gesturing with his hands. The plates rose until they were held with finger tips, and breathless suspense enchained the spectators. "Now stand from under! Let go of them! Let go of them!" yelled Roberts, dancing up and down in excitement; but the men still held on as if rendered powerless by astonishment. "Stand from under!" commanded the admiral; and discipline again mastering them they obeyed, springing back In the apprehension that the two immense plates might by some necromancy come crashing down and disappear through the floor. With something almost like a sob, so great had been his mental strain, Jenkins stood transfixed. The admiral gave a gasp, and with one hand poised in the air stood like a statue. A hammer fell from the hand of one of the engineers standing behind, and the man who had been tightly clutching the test tube opened his fingers and let it crash to the floor. In this tinkling sound of broken glass on cement, another gave a sharp ejaculation and took an involuntary step forward. They had witnessed the first positive exhibition of true levitatlon, a solid body suspended in the air without support They had seen in times past with complacency, knowing that it was dependant upon optical illusion, the-oonjurer's trick, mystifying t o the ertion than would be necessary to push a toy balloon. There was no levity in him when he addressed them, but rather the simple grandeur of one who has wrested from Nature one of her greatest powers, and was now preparing to harness it for all time, a slave to peace, progress and the welfare of his fellows. "My friends," he said, "by the discovery of an alloy of metal and metalloids we have created a new substance, which when an electrical current of certain potentiality is passed through it becomes intensely radioactive; infinitely more so than radium. Through these machines," and here he waved his hand at the twin apparatus in the rear, "my daughter and I have produced electrical manifestations hitherto unsuspected and unknown. The metal itself, while radioactive to a certain degree, does not. become intensely so without the application of the excitant current" He pulled the plate down till it rested on the floor, and stood upon it, while they, still awed, waited for his further exposition. "This morning, by an accidental contact which lasted until the plate had torn itself loose and broken the current, I saw to the full the possibilities it contained. The Impact of the emanations, or radioactive corpuscles, against the sheet of insulation and tank at the bottom drove it through the floor and into the ground, because the corpsucles which flew off in the other direction were unimpeded, free aad-iiaraleea.

' "Jt.M an insulation which will pass no surreal of electricity, and which n» Know* heat) can deatnsy. - To-day by accident I learned thftl^f was also an inTpervfolli screen to* radioactive emanation*: In the second" experiment' I so charged' the alloy in* my lower plate, thai, it merely offsets gravitation, and. put my sheet of insular substance between; and. there we have levitatlon. Those two plates are workiug against each other with nearly equal force, the balamce being disturbed only In ratio to gravitation," ^ -The solution of the flying machine P Jenkins shouted.excitedly, and Roberts, appreciating the engineer's quick understanding, amiled and responded : s"Yes, just that." 4 "But what will furnish its propulsion?" asked Jenkins, whose mind was traveling over the possibilities of rapid flight. The others evinced their Interest by craning forward. "It will furnish its own," the scientist answered, "because by the use of the apparatus behind it we can excite its radioactivity to any^degree^ that mlgkt be'safe. More plainly, the moment the current excites and therefore increases the power of tb^.lower plate, a lifting energy* could be exerted which would destroy the equilibrium of levitatkm and drive the plates into the air with a force corresponding to the strength or character of the current. Or, on the other hand, if the upper plate was similarly excited, thus liberating its corpuscles, the plate would be driven toward the earth." The admiral, who had been slowly following this dissertation, seemed suddenly to have grasped its entire meaning, and thrust himself out from the group with both hands extended and gesticulating rapidly. "Then all you have to do," he said, "is to put on either end of your airship a freeboard made of this metal, capable of excitation and insulated on its inner surface, and you would thereby be able to drive your tjraft in either direction "at any speed you might wish!" "That's it exactly," answered Roberts and Jenkins in unison. The inventor continued: "I can beat a freeboard, however, because I shall apply my electrical current in, such a way as to send all the corpuscles of radioactive matter in any direction I may choose. I could with this alloy even create magnets of unknown power. I can built a craft in sections where magnets and radioactive surfaces will alternate." He was growing excited as the mag: nitude of the scope of his discovery dawned upon his imagination. Norma calmed him flowttjvbut the admiral, infected with these visions, took up the strain and enthusiastically expatiated to his companions. To him the skies were already filled with flying ships that were to swoop down over an enemy, drop terrific bombs of high explosives, and thus sweep the seas. But future events, he was to learn, cannot be predicted with certainty. "Well, well!" he said, briskly. "What next?" "Your engineers must assist me in drawing plans. We shall want great quantities of new material and electrical equipment, and must have them soon; because when we get well under way we should be able to create two or three of these radioplanes each day." The great plates were locked In, and the group repaired to one of the offices, where for hours the inventor elaborated his scheme of control, the mechanical means of which were to be worked out and drawings made by the engineers. And as they toiled over their plans, there spread from mouth to mouth throughout the strange colony the story of the marvelous conception, until even the most prosaic workman found himself dreaming and speculating over his task. Before dusk had crowded the light from the skies, the Columbia, under a full head of stekm, picked her way out to meet the ocean swells, and headed for Miami, where she was to send a message to Washington, calling for stranger? assorted supplies and notifying the anxious naval men that the dry dock would not be needed. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Dr. Angel Money. There are some queer names in Australia. A witness in a recent case at Melbourne responded to the crier's call, "Lily Fury."

He requested tljrp pupils to iftf home, and although there was some grumbling over" the ^failure of the bridegroom tofi«cqme through with the treat," they obeyed. Timothy's failure to treat became a village Issue. Around the hot stove in one of the village groceries the town "cutups" held a consultation and came to the conclusion that- "Tim hadn't done right." Furthermore, they vowed, by heok, that Tim shouldn't rest until he had treated his pupils. For thrca hours that night they raised bedlam In front of the Jamison residence. All to no avail. Tim showed no disposition whatever to extend the hospitalities expected of him. "We'll show him, b'gosh," said the merry wags. With voices somewhat frazzled by the wear of the night before, they assembled. They didn't rely upon noise this time. They wired up all the doors and windows, and then one bold spirit olimbed up on the roof and stuffed rags down the chimney until It was completely clogged. This left to the Jamisons the pleasant alternative of being smothered with smoke or putting out the Are and enduring the cold. "We're coming back every night, until ye treat the scholars," shouted the band as they left the Jamison residence about daybreak. Superintendent Jamison was grieved. He appealed to the village marshal, but that worthy remarked that he, too, thought, by gum, that Tim ought to treat. Consequently the Jamison brothers and Tim's bride have left in disgust, declaring they will not return. The pupils, while they did not get their treat, are rejoicing in the extra vacation.

Eighteen packages of registered mall were secured. One of these packages is said to have contained a large sum of money, but until a thorough checking up of the missing package is possible the exact amount secured by the robbers cannot be ascertained. . The robbery was remarkable for its originality and daring. It took place within eight miles of Denver, within less than two miles of Fort t-ogan, the United States military reservation, and at the spot where haMtatiops are plentiful. Yet so thor> ough was the work of the robberB and so well were their plans laid that ,they had fully an hour and a half start of the officers. Search of the vicinity of the holdup indicates that a third man and possibly a fourth were engaged in the robbery, that a buggy was in waiting, and that torpedoes and red signal Area were used unsuccessfully in an attempt to stop the train before the automatic revolvers of two men on the engfne tender succeeded In doing thiff.

HAMPTON ROADS, VA.— Battleship races, a h If) against ship, and squadron against aquadron, marked the final leg of the cruise of the Atlantic fleet when the United States armada atarted from Gibraltar for home. The maneuvers of the fleet, re-enforced by nine warships from home waters, were the most elaborate ever undertaken by United States war vessels. And when the fighting craft cast anchor here February 22, they were In fit con' dition to steam out tq face an enemy. The program for the reception of the fleet on its return t # ,HBWft<|n Roads was elaborate and the.proud record made by It practically reversed th» carried out when the fleet sailed. President Roosevelt, on board the Mayflower, anchored between the HorseBhoe and Lynn Haven bay, reviewed the fleet as It passed in. Rear Admiral Sperry, the other commanders and executive officers, then went aboard the Mayflower to receive the president's greetings, after which the president in turn visited the flagship of each division and met the asaeman elaborate program, in which all the vessels took part. While the fleet, or the main body of It, jogged along at a pace that brought it into Hampton Roads February 22, the individual ships were put through speed trials and endurance tests. Ships of similar class raced to determine individual excellency, while battleships of different designs were tested one against the other to determine the superiority of style. There were also races between squadrons, and battle maneuvers, in which squadrons and divisions participated. There also was gunnery practice under practically battle conditions, and new records have been made. NEW RECORDS FOR SAILING. None Other to Compare with Aohl«vement of Our Fleet. SINCE the fabled cruise of the Argonauts of old there have been many famous cruises in history, but non^e tbat>ean compare, either In magnitude >of. vessels or in length of miles, to Egypt and afterward to the West Indies and back, only to end in those ever memorable disasters to French sea power at the battle of the N i k and at Trafalgar. 8ccond Spanish Armada. Coming down to more modern times, no one can have forgotten, that ill fated cruise of another Spanish armada under Admiral Cervera, which ended in the total loss of Spanish sea power at Santiago de Cuba. When President Roosevelt gave his first order that the Atlantic fleet should vatart for its "practice cruise" to the. Pacific from Hampton roads, ail the European naval experts on t!M> continent permitted themselves to doubt whether our Bhips could ever be got ready in time, and whether t h e long cruise could ever be accomplished without serious disasters. But every English speaking sailorman knew In his heart that t h e great fleet would be all • ready and would start exactly on time, to the minute, as it did. WELL PUASMItt-IESTEID!

Huoter la a Maidstone, Saskatchewan (Central Canada), farmer, wno y[rtt£s to a Cqjpa,-, dlan Government Agent'as follows: . .

There came « good thaw every month that t i t l e d .Lb6 aao\*Jr«4h«-tteWs < spon became bare, and on the 1,2th ofl April I commenced ' ploughing. T h e . soow was t h e n a n y o n e ancf summer a t ' hfend. This l a s t ' season was aome> thing more than an average y e a r around here, with fine cropB gathered from a large acreage. In parts the crops were less than average, but generally speaking they were above AC The price of wheat was quite good. Some fine yields sold at $1.10 per bushel, while some, were marketed a t muchleys, but hardly any went below about 60 cents a bushel. - * •••';- "Oats started on the market at 35 cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents, i aud flax from 90 cents to T1.00 a. bush^J. "As this was my first y«ar in this country, it was a hard year for my horses, owing to their being eastern horses, and not used to the western climate, but they will soon get climatized. .•><•.- bled officers and six representative sailormen selected from the division. The cruise has been a practice trip throughout, but it remained for the final lap to Institute the maneuvers and tests planned. The intention was to give the vessels the severest trials at the flnlBh of their long journey, in order that any defects in them might be demonstrated. In addition to the 16 battleships that composed the fleet, there were the Yankton and Panther, two atoreships, and two colliers. These were started ahead from Gibraltar. Before they had negotiated much of the distance westward across the Atlantic they were met by the welcoming fleet sent out from the United States. This consisted of the battleships Maine, New Hampshire, Idaho and Mississippi, the armored cruisers Monlana and North Carolina, and the scout cruisers Salem, Birmingham and Chester. When rhey joined the others it made a fleet of 20 battleships, five powerful cruisers and two smaller .fighting craft. As soon as the warships were assembled the real work of the homeward cruise was undertaken. Admiral Sperry had framed to the great world cruise Just finished by our fleet. When Admiral Rojestvensky took his doomed ships from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan, this was heralded to all the world as the greatest armed cruise in history, and so it was up to that time. Yet apart from the singular fact that these Russian fighting ships were foredoomed to disaster, what a miserable achievement it wan as compared to the magnificent, resistless, onward sweep of our own fight- Ing ships! Significant Historical Fact. To th« historian it cannot but appear as a significant thing that all other previous great cruises in history, with the exception of those undertaken by English-speaking sailors, have only resulted in disaster and shame. There was the great cruiae of the Spanish armada, for instance, launched against. England by Philip II, of Spain, which -ended in such nttei rout and disaster. .. • Then there were those ambitious naval projects of the ftroat Napoleon resulliuK in the famous French cruises — I "The soil on my farm is a black.

"My opinion is that t h e man who comes here with a little means can do no.better than invest $500 or $1,000 in cattle, after locating a homestead adjoining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and buy to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cattle. The bluffs with a few hay or straw sheds will make sufficient shelter for them.

"The dairy business should by no moans be forgotten. It is one of the paying enterprises of this great west. The price of butter seldom goes below 25 cents and reaches as high as 40 cent a a pound.

This is a great fact, a gTeat achievement, the results of which can never be changed or lost. Henceforth in the world's history the Pacific ocean, which first came into international prominence only with Dewey's great victory in Manila bay and the Japanese victories in their own waters, will loom up in historical importance as did the Mediterranean before Columbus' great cruise opened up the Atlantic."

WEIL ££nn GopjtifbX. HOT, b/ Tha AwocUwt UuutUj Mat Ml t SYNOPSIS. "Vanishing: Vleets," a story of "what might have happened." opting in Washington with the United States and Japan near war. Guy Hllller, secretary of the British embassy, and Mis* Norma Hob- •orta, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are introduced aa lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines, Guy Hllller •utarta for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese ttest and whole-world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to send a. fleet to American waters aa a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllller Is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bavins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before ths war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels to increase speed to over SO miles an hour. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' first attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. In a second «ffort Norma is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of true levltatlon is solved, making the most Important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine, rendering warshlpi useless. C H A P T E R XVI.—Continued. There where the heart of the American government beat was nothing but anxiety and suspense. Each succeeding day's events had made it more certain that Japan would force the issue to war, and, like an athlete, was stripping and training for the fight. The men who had taken upon themselves the tremendous responsibility of intrusting the nation's defense to a single discovery, and were backing it wit'* funds for which they must account some day, saw the days slipping by, and grimly realized that they were irrevocably bound to the success or failure on the key. It was too late now to attempt other projects, and glory or defeat hung suspended on the issue. No reports had been received, and no news had come from that determined little army that had sailed away to the south. Hence It was with aorae- 'thing of a shock that the first word received was to the effect that the dry dock could not be utilized. It seemed like the first dread handwriting emblazoned on the wall, foretelling failure, disaster, disgrace and war, and the president as he read it quoted with inexpressible sadness: "Mene, Mene, Tekel—" and his half-opened lips framed the rest. Then followed the requisition for supplies, and once again before any detailed report had been received came another demand. The Island in the solitude seemed an insatiable monster, devouring national funds and giving back nothing in return. More days went by, bringing nothing save distressing stories from the orient, where a clash had taken place at Chemulpo between Japanese sailors and American marineB. This was of such serious nature that apologies were tendered the Japanese embassy, and then from the entire country burst a storm of protest and reiterated criticism* o* the administration, which wis contumaciously accused of showing the white feather. From the western coast came appeal on appeal, the whota Pacific seaboard calling attention to Its unprotected state and the imminence of Its danger. Distressed and Irate at the dearth of Information, the secretary of the navy was on the point of sending a message to Brockton demanding.news, when he received from Miami the terBe message that In two nights more the admiral would report in person. That he liore nothing but a tale of disappointment was surmised from the closing words of the admiral, who requested that all those who had been party to the project should assemble secretly as before at the White House after nightfall. Haggard and worn, they came together, read the brief dispatch and waltnd. The president, his melancholy face set and grave, looked at them from cavernous eyes; but could offer no consolation. There was nothing to -do but wait—sit and wait—for tfc%4 messenger of 111 omen who was to sound the knell of hope and tail what letters had been combined to spell the word "failure." In hushed voices they discussed the situation, anar^ried to evolve some project for its alleviation. Aid then without' preliminary announcafteirt 4fce door aw,ung o^en^under too hand of i h e president's private secretary, aftd there stood trame$in it the h$fe form o#thA admiral, htajiand at salute, bis eyes shining" in trimnph, and back of him stood Norma, her father and Jenkins. Brockton advanced to the president's desk,.and faced him and the secretary of the navy. "I have come to deliver my report in person, and with me are those who have given thin nation the g r e a t e r engine of war that science has ever known." The room was. electrified; but rthe president sprang to his feet and threw up a restraining hand commanding st lence*, "Well?" he queried, inviting further words; but Brockton's place had been taken try the shriveled figure of a diminutive old man, who put a trembling hand out to his friend and in a voice of affection, hushed but exultant, exclaimed: • -"Paul, Paul, we've made good!'? . The other's hand came out to meet( his, and the only sound heard was the president's fervent, "Thank God! Thank God!" The gates of repression and emotion were duwn. These men had been tried to the breaking point, and now, when in one moment their skies had cleared, they gave way. They hugged each other, repeatedly shook hands, and in the eyes of some there were unrestrained tears. They crowded round the little group from the key and admonished each other to silence. "Gentlemen," said the inventor, "we have rendered warships useless. We need no armor! Increased speed on the waters is of no value to us. We have created a machine that flies, not a thing of gas, of planes, or a kite. We cannot explain here as well as if you were to go with us and see it, and what use we have made of your money." The secretary" of- the: navy looked disappointed. His mind was too intensely practical to jump to happy conclusions, "Can a flying machine whip a battle ship?" he asked; and would have continued; but the admiral brought his fist down on the desk with a mighty bang. "This one alone might do it! The others we'll have ready , before they, are called upon can,, whip,- the, world/' He stopped as-if abashed by his own enthusiasm*' and lack of * etiquette, looked at the president and the secretary apologetically, and then In a less tempestuous voice went on: "All we ask is that you come with us—so no one may see you, of course—and then you'll have no cause for complaint." MIB request was reasonable; but they were curious. After brief discussion and arrangement, they decided to go in motor cars, which many of those present knew how to drive, and within half an hour the entire party was whirling away through the side streets of the city, Out ratovthe residence sections, through Jong avenues of trees, past suburbs* homes, and finally to their destination. The night was lighted only by the stars, which failed to disclose that strange monster of marvelous metal and unprecedented power which loomed up dimly before them in the field. It stood there on the stubble, dark and inert, massive and without grace, like some gigantic turtle of a prehistoric age. Sentries halted them as they approached even as in time of strife, and compelled them to expose their identity. They went aboard while the admiral stood at the door waiting for the guard to come within, the last one explaining a slight delay by saying he thought for a moment that he had heard a noise as of some one creeping over the field, but had found nothing. "Sorry we can't illuminate," the inventor explained; "but we shall a little later after you have seen how it works." Jenkins threw a lever, and the heavy doors over the port, came to with a dull metallic clang and were clasped. Within a little hooded space forward a dim light, exposed great banks of levers, switches and dials, and by its faint rays they found seats improvised for the occasion. Roberts threw out a hand, and the hum of great dynamos: told that machinery had been set in motion. Back of them, in another apartment so closely screened that no streak of light might expose their presence to the outside world, they saw Jenkins and a junior engineer watching the play of the wheels. Norma took her place beside her father. They felt vibrant shocks as the great airship throbbed and quivered, and then, save for the song of the machinery, all was serenely« quiet and motionless. There was no sensation whatever, and they began vaguely to wonder when the flight was to take place, if that was the intention of their hostB. The voice of the admiral, pent with elation, called: "Mr. President and gentlemen, if you will all lean over back of you and look down you may see something." They obey«4 w4*h a pvocnptneea • w e atmlu. and saw that they had been seated over broad glass plates of great thickness, while far below was an unanticipated picture. They had left tbfe earth wtth that first preliminary jaJry and no saw on if* surface, picked out by th# taL . T W « W alf*ja^,,lfc*fiile abay<3 in the far distance expanding saucer- Uk*v while they gazed. The sea, with her*!,; and' there a slow-moving ship, came before their vision, and a little do$rth£ of'fire exposed a railway train crs/fcllns* along on its journey. It was aa'tf; the earth *ad fatten away- into; spgee and they alone igere in a position of security and solidity. VW« shall require four hours of your time at least," the admiral called, and with starts of surprise they looked to where he stood outlined against the light of the hoods, finding it hard tp realize that they were not addressed by a being of another world. The officer leaned over to the secretary of the navy and added: "I am going to give you our preliminary report, which wJUl save writing,, it." Sessions made no reply, but turned to his Interrupted scrutiny of the panorama on which the others were intent once more. They were being lifted higher and higher, and in this recession of the earth, its lights, which only a few momentB before had been far apart, now appeared as spangles on a vast field of black. Above them through a transparency in the roof the stars in the clarity of the rarefied atmosphere gleamed brighter, throwing outward Into the pall long scintillating arrows of fire. The strange creation of an abnormal old man and his daughter, the Magic Carpet of fable realized, swept upward Into the dome of the sky, veering outward over the silent reaches of the ocean, and then, like a ylfwd t o f t n i a 'occasion* only, com* prised all the trappings and furnishings of thlu monster that~Was tfce vanguard of modern transportation, and tin whose keeping rested tb* nation's pptrength.

Thejjj h*d pictured strange iaanlfestatioae of elecirlcmi acifcnejft; tint, aajy a rngjrtrtTt pinwti of brass rods ana" gleaming lufies was visible. The admiral read their unworded curiosity. "I can't explain it quite," he ea^d. "Dr. Roberts will tell youTall aboirt-lt pretty-, soon, when he cajj get a%»7 from piloting the. ship, Look out tor the shutters again. * Norma is goinjjrto open them and shut-off the lights. We are at our journey's end.* . -* A plash, a .flash, and again they were in darkuesB, and with one accord they turned to the reopened ports. Beneath them now glittered the arc lights of the plant on the lonely Island which they had peopled. The ^reat blast furnace was spouting toward them showers of glowing sparks and sheets of writhing iiarne, and before it, dwarfed by height into squatty gnomes, were those who incessantly fed it. The windows of the machine shops were limned in squares of white, and out to one side, throwing its searchlight to and fro, there steamed a gunboat, while afar on the other boundary of the key its sister ship kept equally vigilant patrol. Industry was spread before them—Industry betokening that night and day were being devoted to the country's need; telling through the hum of wheels and the roaring of the blast that the eagle from his lone aerie was sharpening his talons for the impending struggle, and preparing for a resistless flight Into the red sun of war. Dumfounded and unable to comprehend that In so short a time they had been transported a distance which by all known methods would have taken a couple of days to traverse, they stared at the scene opening to their view, and while this bewilderment continued the radioplane began a rapid descent in wide, sweeping circles, daintily picked out an open spot immediately in front of the plant, and gently came to rest. A Clash Had Taken Place at Chemulpo. great auk In homing flight. swunE off in a wide tangent toward the southwestern void, carrying them at a speed which they could not reckon. Below was nothing more to claim their attention; so, silent and spellbound, they turned to discover what they might within this shell of mystery. Forward, where the hood was glowing dimly, they saw the inventor standing calmly attentive to his task and scanning the faces of indicators before him, some of which they conceived" must tell of altitudes, direction or forces under subjection. In the glare immediately before-him, bringing out his face in Rembrandtesque relief, he seemed a patriarch whose superior knowledge had elevated him above the common paths of men and placed him on such an exalted plane of intelligence that he was beyond a standard of comparison. The consciousness that they were far above the traveled paths of all time lost its terrifying sense of strangeness and uncertainty, and they learned to trust this structure of metal whose great enlivened masses, entrailed with machinery, was hurtling with them through the night. The noise within was not sufficient to prevent easy conversation; but they sat as men stricken dumb, being carried away into captivity by some dread magician of more singular power than was ever portrayed in Persian tales. "Stand clear of the shutters, gentlemen!" the scientist called, turning his face in their direction, and they leaned forward just as Norma pressed a button. A sharp clashing noise smote their ears, and when next they looked at the ports they were* shut off by metallic slides. Again the girl touched a button, and instantly the interior of the radioplane was flooded with silvery Hghf It was a disappointment, for sight gave no elucidation of the secret. A low roof of unpalnted metal arched above them. In one end were ordinary electrical dynamos, a motor, and a polished electrical apparatus which thsy could not understand, and beyond this, outside the hoods, .there was nothing whatever; only the signs of hurried work, rough, unpalnted, and aaaanetod.

To Meet ths Enemy. A great ribbon of light from the watchful Columbia perforated the night, and as they emerged from the flying mohster>they discovered In this flaming pathway of white a line of shells * similar to that which had conveyed them to the island. From the one nearest came the ateady rebounding beat of hammer^and the-voices of men wfco were equipping it within, preparatory to transforming the dead, inactive mass of metal into a thing of obullient life and incredible activity. -^'Completing them at the rate of two av day now, gentlemen," Informed Brockton, as he led,.the party toward the machine shop, which was the nearest building. And this they were to leara was the story of the camp: Accomplishment, accomplishment—everything sacrificed' to" accomplishment! There -was no; recess from industry , when they entered the shed-like building, and go where they would they saw nothing but men working like mad, who merely looked up from their occupations, saluted, and then resumed their tasks as though the president of the United States and his most eminent advisers were not of sufficient importance to excuse delay. Here was a little army of men, expert in their several lines, comprehending the necessity for haste, and imbued with only one Idea: That their efforts were for their country. Soldiers were they who in other times would have shut their jaws and grimly stormed through shot and shell; but were now doing no left valiant acts when with every turn of a wheel or every blow of a hammer they threw mind, muscle and heart Into the uprearing of the nation's defense.

Some one has said truly that responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. Little is expected of the incapable. The very mention of duty, task, responsibility weighs like a burden upon the minds of weak men and women. Every one must have met men of good parts who will sedulously dodge anything like a responsibility. They shun everything like responsibility though high rewards may be offered. The mere thought of being held to strict accountability dismays them, and no remuneration and no honor are great enough to tempt them to leave the pleasant ways of peace to undertake a course which involves contention or strife, or even serious prolonged attention.

You can care for five acres of trees yourself, without help. Orchards each year yield $500 an acre and upwards. Prove this by sending for our free book on the Pacific Northwest, or, better still, Come West and See All the land there ever was—or will be—was created ages ago. But population keeps increasing— a baby is born every minute. All the free land worth having has been taken up. All the good land, at low prices, that's left, is going fast. Soon land chances, like those in the West today, will be gone forever.] If you want a fine farm or fruit ranch anywhere in the Northwest, get one now before the price gets too high—write to us for our free book.
