Railroad men are repeating- their warning of laat year to northwestern dealers and co^*u^era to place,, their orders fur coal a* earjy aa poaaible in order to safeguard thttatirtves against delays incident to a co&geation of traffic, with incidental shortness in the car supply. They had reason for their warning Of last year, despite the fatst, that business for months previous had been discouragingly light, but this year they have what amounta to almost assurance of difficulty ahead in the fact that traffic in all departments of the carrying business is increasing rapidbr. There are 260,000 idle cars in the United States, Canada and Mexico at the present time, but orders for rolling stock are compelling the utilization of these cars so rapidly that managers are becoming nervous in regard to the coal trade. Indications point to an exceptionally heavy movement in grain during the months in which delayed orders for fuel must be filled in order to obviate suffering during the first cold weather of winter, and those who wish to avoid anxiety and trouble are advised to place their orders as soon as possible. Paul Morton's plan or keeping money in the country by levying an export tax on American heiresses who marry foreigners and go abroad is based on patriotic feeling, but the notion is not new—in fact it was embodied in a bill introduced in the recent congress by Representative Sabaoth of Illinois. Mr. Morton is not alone in thinking it a pity that Americans should fall down and worship titles. When his rage is excited by the spectacle of a splendid American girl with a rich father throwing herself away upon a decadent sprig of European -aristocracy, he is in the same state as thousands of other free Americans witnessing the same sorry spectacle, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. If a practical remedy for the evil can be found It will be widely welcomed— but more especially if it be not inconsistent with the fine old American principle of Individual liberty. It ia a graceful act on the part of the British government to order an entire squadron of cruisers to this country to take part in the Hudson- Fulton celebration this fall. The affair will be distinctly American. Nevertheless it will have significance for the entire world. The discovery of the Hudson led ultimately to the development of a region that has become one of the most important on the globe, and Fulton's experiment marked the beginning of the era of Bteam navigation, of which the mighty navy of Great Britain, part of which will be present at the commemoration, is an outgrowth. Ships of other nations also will be on hand, and one of the greatest features of the pageantry will be the display of steam vessels indicating the growth in that direction since the Clermont made her epochal trip. The test of Hiram Percy Maxim's noiseless cannon of large bore is to be •aade at Hartford, Conn., where he is at the present time. In October he will go to Europe for the purpose of remonstrating his invention. Mr. Maxim's patents for noiseless weapons protects him in Japan as well as in ilie countries of Europe. Invention of death dealing devices, however, continues active there as well as here. r: om Berlin comes reports of the ap- 1 lication of principles of wireless te egraphy to the setting off of mines. An electric wave, transmitted from the operating point, produces a spark :n the apparatus connected with the mine. Both army and electrical experts declare that the invention will revolutionize modern warfare. THE BATTLE FROMT "IS THE SALOON MEN OF SAGINAW BEGIN FIGHT AGAINST DRY CITY. WANT LAW ENFORCSp. Form Organisation to Furnish Evidence of Violation* and Will Be Good of Course. MICHIGAN ITEMS. •v r»——w*> t u The government bulletin reports the average condition of cotton at 63.7 per cent..of normal, and on this basis the total output will be about 10,250,- 000 bales, whereas the yield last year was 13,800,000 bales. The world's con sumption of cotton la .placed at 13, £00,000 bales annually. These figures convey thelt own comment as to how closely the aupply will approximate the demand. Certainly there seems to be no need of restricting cotton growing next year In order to aven the accumulation of an embarrassing aurplua. The first move of the liquor interests to meet the campaign inaugurated by the local opticnlsts to make Saginaw dry next year, has just been taken in the formation of a law and order organisation among the saloon interests. The organization is known *a the."Saginaw County Bar and Restaurant Association." A system has already Ueeniput into'effect by wnich the association will keep a strict watch on all persons engaged in a business where Intoxtcating drinks are served to see that the laws are ob served. An especial effort will be made to break up gambling in every form in and about saloons. Equally strict will be the enforcement of a mutual agreement against serving drinks to habitual drunkards, intoxicated persons, minors, or to any persons to whom they are forbidden by law to sell. It is settled in advance that there will be a vigilance committee, on which every one of the 90 members will be a constant worker, and whenever violations of the law are detected, or immorality is discovered, the association will lend its influence in having the offenders arrested anil prosecuted. The member makiug the discovery is bound by obligation to report it to the association, which in turn will make complaint to the prosecuting authorities and furnish them with evidence. One of the offict. ; said: "The organization is purely a protective meas ure for those who desire to conduct a legitimate trade and to live within the law, as- opposed to those whose practices bring the business into dis repute. We are fully awake to th< condition of public sentiment, and realize we must henceforth avoid ewn the shadow of cause for complaint." This move, it is believed, means a change of attitude on the part of the liquor interests, and that instead of fighting the prohibitionists with fire, the saloonists will endeavor to mini mlze the effect of the dry propaganda by preserving strict saloon morality and trying to convince the people that drinking places are not undesirable. Prefers Death. Albert Mart/, the farmer who wa^ sentenced in Saginaw to from 7 to l">i years in Marquette prison because of an offense against his young daughters, made a third unsuccessful at tempt to end his life when ho was being taken to the jail from the court room. .

Was Fulton's Engineer. The Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York recalls the fact that in Riverside cemetery in Hastings, lies buried Matthew Baird, an engineer and machinist who helped Robert Fill ton build the first steamboat. The machinery was all made by hand, and without the use of lathes. Baird was the engineer of the Clermont, Fulton's first steamboat on her trial trip on the Hudson.

PEARY STILL DENIES IT. Saya Whitney Does Not Play Any Part Whatever in trie Controversy a* to the Doctor's Claim. Harry Whitney, of New Haven, who was with Dr. Frederick A: Cook at Annootok and to whom Dr. Cook is said to have given a detailed account of hia trip to the Pole, has sent a wirelea* message from Indian Harbor, Labrador, in answer to the question: "Did Cook reach the Pole?" saying: "I have no reason to doubt Cook's statement." He was told by Dr. Cook at Etah that he had reached the Pole, but the information was private. Dr. Cook left records and instruments with Whitney, diaries and field notes, compasses and chronometers. Whitney is bringing them home, but professes inability to speak with authority as to their value in settling the dispute. "Harry Whitney does not play any part, one way or another, in my evidence regarding Dr. Cook's claim of first reaching the Pole," said Commander Peary to a score of newspaper men at his summer home in Maine. He said that he was unable to say in what way Whitney is connected with the controversy. Whitney, he said, was with him on the Roosevelt from Aug. 17 to 24, but never told him that Dr. Cook had dis covered the Pole, nor did he know that any one on the Roosevelt heard it until he received a message from the Associated Press. Continuing, Commander Peary said: "I have absolutely no intention to make a statement previous to my interview with Gen. Hubbard at Bar Harbor unless there is a change of plans to suit Gen. Hubbard. Having turned over certain pajers to him, the whole matter is now in his hands. These papers bear almost entirely ou the main proposition; which is, 'Has Cook been to the Pole?' "I feel the utmost reliance in Gen. Hubbard's judgment," he added. 'Could Dr. Cook have reached the Pole if he had had your equipment?" , was asked. "Yes," replied Commander Peary, "if he had known what my sledge was and had had 23 years' experience in the Arctic, but not otherwise." "The bringing of the Morris K.

Sickness in Refugee Camp. Sickness is beginning to appear in some of the camps where thousands of homeless sufferers from the recent gale are being cared for in Louisiana, and a health bureau lias been organized In Terrebonne parish to guard against an epidemic. Tales of hardship continue to come in. One woman clung for 21 hours to a raft on which the body of her husband lay. A family of seven appeared at Ifouma late yesterday, none of whom had tasted food for four days. In Grand Caillou, floating on a bit of plank, was found a ninemonths- old baby, alive after three days without food. In Little Caillou, Chaisson Armogene, a resident of that section, found an eight-months-old baby tied to a tangled mass of debris. Charvil Dupre swam thr<?e miles pushing a heavy plank to which his wife and three children clung. OUn and Clodo Maquln clung for more than a day to a floating log. Over the devastated fields, strewn with carcasses of animals and human bodies, flocks of vultures are hovering. Unclaimed Millions. It. is estimated that ¢2,000,000 in coin, $(1,000,000 in bonds and other securities, and $1,000,000 worth of Jewels recovered from the ruins of Messina are still unclaimed. In addition to the foregoing there is a further deposit of 100 strong hoxes and 4,000 sealed packages, known to contain valuables which have not been opened, representing at least $4,000,000. This total of $13,000,- 000 does not include the treasures from the cathedral, churches and banks. The valuables were simply excavated and were sometimes found clutched in the dead hnnds of unidentified men and women. The excavations will he commenced again on October 1, when the unclaimed deposits will naturally increase. As it is generally impossible for survivors to establish claims to the property, the state will benefit largely. New York's Great Day. The great parade of shipping on the Hudson river Saturday, a gorgeous pageant, which was the central idea of the Hudson Fulton celebration was almost heyond description. The vast illuminations it is estimated were viewed by five millions of people. The ships of the merchant marine, and those from the world's great navies with fac similes of Henry Hudson's vessel and Fulton's first steamboat formed a picture never to be forgotten. It waa a great historic observance for even the great city of New York. At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Johnson, Miss Margaret L.illivan, her friend; Doctors W. J. and Charles H. Mayo, Dr. C. F. Mc- Nevin, Frank A. Day, the governor's private secretary; Fred P. Lynch, Democratic national committeeman, and the Misses Jannie and Schiller, the governor's nurses. Dr. W. J. Mayo stated that there were no traces of blood poisoning and that the immediate cause of death was exhaustion and heart failure. Wheu the governor had breathed his last Mrs. Johnson, who had been in almost hourly attendance at her husband's side, and who bad borne up brave:y under the ordeal, totally collapsed and was taken to the Sullivan home.

The three were tossed upon an-uninhabited island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake recovered from a drunken stupor. BlaUe. shunned on the boat. because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suins for the hand of Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back to the ship to recMver whut was left. Blake returned safely. Wlnthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which he was scored by .Blake. Their first meal WHB a dead llsh. The trio star ed a ten mile hike for higher land. Thirst attacked them. Blake was compelled to carry Miss Leslie on account of weariness. ' He taunted Wlnthrope. They entered the Jungle. That night was passed roosting high in a tree. The next morning they descended to the open again. All three constructed hnts to shield themselves from the sun. They then feasted on Cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss Leslie showed a liking for Blake, hut detested his roughness. Led by Blake they established a home In somo cliffs. Blake found a fresh water spring. M>ss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation. They planned their campaign. Blake recovered his surveyor's magnifying glass. t h u s insuring fire, lie sturtcd a jungle lire, killing a large leopard and smothering several cutis. In the leopard's cavern they built a small home. They gained the cliffs bv burn'ng the bottom of a tree until it fell against the heights. The. trio secured egys from the cliffs.

He did not rotnrn yntll after the others were asleep. Miss Leslie had gone without her supper, or had eaten some of the food stored within the tree. When, late the next, morning, ?he Anally left her seclusion Blake was nowhere in sight. Ignoring Winthrope'* attempts to start a conversation, she hurried through her breakfast, and, having gathered a «upply of food and water, went to spend the day on the fcgadland. Evening forcod he!1 to return to the d t f t . She had en.nt.icd the water Hfcsk by noon, and was thirsty. Wlnthrope was dozing beneath his canopy, which- Blake had moved some yards do«^| towards the barricade. Blake was tonkins supper. He did not look up, and met her attempt at a pleasant greeting with an Inarticulate grunt. When she turned to enter the baobab, she found the opening littered with bamboos and green creepers and pieces of large branches with charred ends. On either s*-1e, midway through (he entrance, a vertical row of holes had been sunk through the bark of the tree into the soft wood. "What, is this?" she asked. "Are you planning a porch?" T "MayDe." he replied. "But why should you make the holes t o tar in? I know so little about thes*' matter*, but i should have fancied the boles would come on t h e front M the tree." " , "You'll see in a day or two.'' 1 ; < f H o * i f i f pa raake^lwl«Hrb«y: look black, aVthough—M lJ ' L' "Burnt* 'em, of* course—hot stones." "That waa so ctever of you!" He made uo response. Supper was eaten In silence. Even Winth rope's presence woald nave been a reHef to the girl; 'yet she could not go to waken him, or even suggest that her companion do so. Blake aat throughout the meal sullen and stolid, and carefully avoided meeting her gaze. Before they had finished, twilight bad come and gone,' and night watLupon them. Yet she lingered for a last attempt. "Good-night, friend!" she whispered. He sprang up as though Bhe bad struck him and blundered autay into the darkness. In the morning it was as before. He had gone off before she wakened; She lingered over breakfast; but he did not appear, and she could not endure Winthrope's 'suave drawl. She went for another day on the headland. She returned somewhat earlier than on the previous day. As before, Wlnthrope was dozing in the shade. But Blake was under the baobab, raking together a heap of rubbish. His hands were scratched and bleeding. To the girl's surprise, he met her with a cheerful grin and a clear, direct glance. "Look here," he called. She stepped around the baobab and stood staring. The entrance, from th« ground to the height of 12 feet, was Satis^et' Himself That Miss Leslie Wau Well Out Toward the Signal. wn!l; (1 up wlih a mass of thorny brain lies, interwoven with yet thornier n v i pel's. "Ilow's that for a front door?" he ;3inamled. "[>( or?" "Yes," "Hut it's so hip;. I could never m o w it." "A child could. Look." He grasped a iii'oj'vtln^ handle near the bottom of the thorny tho.-is, The lower half of the door swims up and outward, the upper half in and downward. "See, It's balanced on a crossbar in the middle. Come on in." She waikcti after him in under the now horizontal door. He gave the inner end a lisht. upward thrust, and the door swims back in its vertical circle until it usain stood upright in the opening. From the Inside the girl could see the strong framework to which was lashed the facing of the thorns. It was made of bamboo and strong pieces of branches, bound together witli tou'ih creepers. "Pretty JJOOU gracing, eh?" remarked Blake. "When those green creepers dry. they'll shrink and hold tight as iron clamps. Kven now nothing short of !\ -rhinoceros could walk through wh«m the bars nrs fast. See here." He stepped up to the novel door and slid several pocketed crossbars until their outer ends were deep in the holes in the tree trunk, three on each side. "How's that foi a set of bolts?" he demanded. "Wonderful!, P.^nlly, you are very, very clever! But why should you go to all this trouble, when the barricade—" "Well, yon see, it's best to be on the safe side." "But it's absurd for you to go to all this needless work, Not that I do not appreciate your kind thought for my safety. Yet look at your hands!" Blake hastened to put his bleeding h i n d s behind him. "Go and wash them at once, and I'll put on a dressing." "No. thank you, Miss Jenny. You needn't, bother. They'll do all right." "You must! It would please me." "Why, then, of course— But flmt. I want to make sure you understand fastening the door. Try the bars yourself." She obeyed, sli.ilug the bars in and out until he nodded his satisfaction. "Good!" he said. "Now promise me you'll slide em fast every night." "If you ask It, But why?"

That night Miss Leslie dutifully fastened herself in with all six bars. She wakened at dawn, and hastened* i possible, yet explain all, I need-only out to prepare Blake's breakfast, but she found herself too late. There were evidences that he had eaten and gone off before dawn. The sketching frame of one of the antelope skins had been moved around by the Are. and on the smooth inner surface of the hide was a laconic note, written with charcoal in a Arm, bold hand: "Exploring inland. Back by night, if can." She bit her lip in her disappointment, for she had planned to show hfm how much she appreciated his absurd but well-meant concern for her safety. AJS It was, he had gone off without a word and left her to the questionable pleasure of a tete-a-tete with Wlnthrope. Hoping to -avoid this, she hurried her preparations for a day on the cliff. But before she could get off, Wlnthrope sauntered up, hiding his yawns behind a hand which had regained most of its normal plumpness. His eye was at once caught by the charcoal note. "Ah!" he drawled; "really now, this is too kind of him to give us the pleasure of his absence all day!" "Ye-es?" murmured Miss Leslie. "Permit me to add that you will also have the pleasure of my absence. I am going now." Winthrope looked down, and began to speak very rapidly: "Miss Genevieve, I—I wish to apologize. I've thought it over. I've made a mistake —I—I mean, my conduct the other day was vile, utterly vile! Permit me to appeal to your considerateness for a man who has been unfortunate—wha I mean, has been—er—was carried away by his feelings. Your favoring of that bloom—er—that—er—bounder so angered me that I—that T—" "Mr. Winthrope!" interrupted the girl, "I will have you to understand that you do not advance yourself in my esteem by such references to Mr. Blake." "Aye! aye, that Blake!" panted Winthrope. "Don't you see? It's 'im, an' that blossom! W'en a man's daffy— w'en 'e's in love!—" Miss l^eslie burst into a nervous laugh; but checked herself on the instant. "Really, Mr. Winthrope!" she exclaimed, "you must pardon me. I---I never knew that cultured Englishmen ever dropped their h's. As it happens, you Know, I never saw one excited before this." "Ah, yes; to be sure—to be sure!" murmured Winthrope, in an odd tone. The girl threw out her hand in a little gesture of protest. "Really, I'm sorry to have hurt—to have been so thoughtless!" Winthrope stood silent. She spoke again. "I'll do what you ask. I'll make allowances for your—for you. feelings towards me and try to forget all you said the other day. Let me begin by asking a favor of you." "Ah, Miss Genevieve, anything, to be sure, that I may do!" "It Is that I wish your opinion. When Mr. Blake finished that absurd door last evening, he would not tell me why he had built it—only a vague statement about my safety." "Ah! He did not. go into particulars?" drawled Winthrope. "No, no-, even a hint; and he looked so—odd." Winthrope slowly rubbed bis soft palms one upon the other. "Do you—er—really destre to know his—the motive which actuated him?" he murmured. "I should not have mentioned it to you if I did not." she answered. "Trouble?" "Well—er—" He hesitated and paused for a full minute. "Yon see, it is a rather difficult undertaking to intimate such a matter to a lady— just, the right touch of delicacy, you know. But I will begin by explaining that I have known it since the first—" "Known what?" "Of that bound—of—er—Blake's trouble." "Ah! Perhaps I should have sntri affliction; yes. that is the better word To own the truth, the fellow has some good qualities. It was no doubt, because he realized, when in his better moments—" "Better moments? Mr, Winthrope. 1 am not a child. In justice both to myself and to Mr. Blake, I must ask you to speak out "plainly " "My dear Mi*,s Ltslle, may I first ask if you have not observed how strangely at times the fellow acts—'looks odd," n<* yon put. It—how he falls into mel ancholia or senseless rages? I niu.s trathfully state that he has three times threatened my life." "i—I—thought his tvnger quite natural, after I had so rwlely—and so m a \ \ people are given in brood.u/,— U.,. it he was violent to you—" possible! He's so strong, so true and manly, ao kind, tor all his gruffnesa!" "Ah, my dear!" soothed Wmthrope, "that Is the pity of it. But when a man must,needs be his worst enemy, When he must need* lead a certain kind of life, he must take the consequences. To put it as delicately aa say one word—paranoia." Miss Leslie gathered up her day's i utflt with trembling fingers and went to mount the cliff. After waiting a tew minutea Winthrope walked hurriedly through, the cleft and climbed the tree-ladder with an agility that would have amazed his companions. But he did sot draw himself up on the cliff. Having satisfied himself that Misa LesHfe waa well out toward the signal.' he returned to the baobab and proceeded to examine Blake's door with minute scrutiny. That evening, shortly before dark, Blake came in almost exhausted by his journey. Few men could have covered the same ground in twice the time. It had been one continuous round of grass jungle, thorn scrub, rocks and swamp. And for all his pains he brought back with him nothing more than the discouraging Information that the back-country was worse than the shore. Yet he betrayed no trace of depression over the bad news, and for all hla fatigue maintained a tone of hearty cheerfulness until, having eaten his fill, he suddenly observed Miss Leslie's frigid politeness. "What's up now?" he demanded. "You're not mad 'cause I hiked off this morning without notice?" "No, of course, not, Mr. Blake. Nothing of the kind. But I—" "Well, what?" he broke In, as she hesitated. "I can't, for the world, think of anything elBe I've done—" "You've done! Perhaps I might suggest that it is a question of what you haven't done." The girl was trembling on the verge of hysterics. "Yes, what you've not done! All these weeks, and not a single attempt to get us away from here, except that miserable signal; and I as good as put that up! You call yourself a m a n ! But I —I—" She stopped short, white,with a sudden overpowering fear. Winthrope looked from her to Blake wUh a sidelong glance, bis lips drawn up in an odd twist. There followed several moments of tense silence; then Blake mumbled apologetically: "Well, I suppose I might have done more. I was so dead arxious to make sure of food and shelter. But this trip to-day—" (TO BE CONTINUED.) T R U L Y T H E W H I T E MAN'S GRAVE. / I A GREAT ANNOYANCE. Sierra Leone Looks Attractive in Spite of Its Bad Name. Sierra Leone—known to fame aa "The White Man's Grave"—viewed trom the deck of an Incoming steamer presents an appearance distinctly attractive. As to climate, the soubriquet "White Man's Grave" is sufficiently Instructive. Suffice It to say that the first daily regimental orders ran thus: "Funeral parade at 6:30 a. m. to-morrow," and it. was seldom indeed that the parade was dismissed for lack of a victim to the pestiferous climatic conditions. Indeed, so arduous became the duties of sepulchre that whereas it was customary in the beginning for the entire regiment and band to attend, only the company of the deceased and the firing party did so i.-ter on. Sierra Leone is infested with snakes. large and small. The former are of the constrictor species; the latter are all extremely venomous.

Complete Cure by Cuticura. "About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best In town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cutlcura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.

The dull silence that hung over that New England dinner table has been lifted of late. It is gone like the dew in the sunlight of the new social influences. The isolation of the farm was the chilling cause that drove men into the cities.

A real heart hunger has been answered. Over hill and down dale flashes the impulse that electrifies existence with the thrill of human life touching other human life.—Delineator. They Didn't Have to Change. During the years in which our pure food laws have been put Into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food manufacturers to change their methods to make them conlorm to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a conspicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. It is so cheap that any one can afford it and so nourishing that everyone needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other point3 where food values were tested Is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for Adding vigor and endurance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Company meets ah demands in the way it packs Quaker Oats; regular size packages and the large size family package; the latter, both with and without china. 4 A Suggestion.

"No doubt it la quits as you say," we told him, "but it is better that you should have the glory of first demonstrating the value of this compressed food." He ridiculed our preparations for the trip, asserting that we were making a lot of unnecessary trouble for ourselves, and triumphantly displayed a little tin box, which he said contained enough food to keep him well and strong for a month. At our first noonday meal in the woods he simply took a pill, and then settled himself under the spreading branches of a big tree and smoked complacently. Later, however, when I happened to be riding beside him, he remarked doubtfully: "Do yon know, I think I made a miscalculation with some of those pills. The one I took doesn't seen/ to have the effect 1 anticipated." "Perhaps the gaBtric juices have not had time to get in their work on it yet," I suggested.

In the course of that afternoon I saw him take no less than four, and \vh n we made camp and put out our evening repa&t there certainly seemed to be a wistful, envious look in his eyes.

However in driving through the country you will come to a place where it would seem as if thn roads should be bad as any were and find that place has been improved -so that it stood the wear and tear of the dry weather and was in good shape. Now IT this can be done in one instance! why not in ail? The trouble in many cases is that the work is supervised by inoompetent men and in others done in the easiest manner without thought ot anything only to do the work and draw the county or township money. In many oases the hard pan is re moved from the bed of gravel and the loose, sand gravel that can be shoveled with a teaspoon, is taken and put upon a sand road when it would have been better to have ieft the work alone. Those who know claim there is plenty J bard pan gravel in t his vicinity and if that is the case then there is no excuse for the shape some of the roads a"e found in at this season. On our trip to Detroit last week we were surprised to find the roads Hoe from here to Brighton and where we expected to find the worst sand we found they had been repaired with clay and grave) and were in fine shape. On the old Grand River road from Brighton to Detroit we found the road all hard and although run over by hundreds of antos every week they, are not rutted at all nor in any instance were there holes until we reached Farmington. From there to the city limits we found the worst road on the whole trip and we can see no reason for it. *?or mile? the eld planking is still in use and in such shape that the old style "corderoy" would seem like pavement. We cannot imagine what the farmers along that district (about 12 miles) are thinking about. A good road would increase the value of their farms from 40 to 50 per cent. The I). U. R. runs the entire length of this piece of road and it would be easy for them to haul the gravel to make this road one of the best. Of course it wonld cost considerable but in the end would pay big dividends. In some instances an attempt had been made fo draw dirt but tbat ended it. It should have been given a good dragging or spreading in some way. Evidently the one who did the work work was after the pay rather than doing a good job. Well, tb.i job done will, or at least should, coat him his job next year. He either will not or doet, not know enough, to build a good road. For a mile or more this tide of the city limits the township is taking up the work of macadamizing the rosd and that is very Hue but in tbi* instance we understand is very expensive. The time is ripe for some work to be done in the road building line in this state and the quicker the farmers see to it that it is done, tbs quicker the price of their land will increase. w~an tr e ait Hheinrg*l eV Tibhrraetaindg [ SChhuatitnle S, RtitoctKaal f oBre wa isuingMgleft Tchnlrueea aw r(uitne atuo IMI IEW HOMI nam MACHINE OOWPAW Or curiae, M a s * .

There are hauled over the country roads of the United Statea every year 265,000,000 tonq of produce, equal to 30 per cent, of the railway tonnage of the country. The average haul from farm to railway ia 9.4 miles and the average coBt per ton per mile is between 23 and 25 cents. In Germany over better roads the cost is ten cents per ton per mile at the maximum and seven cents per ton per mile at the minimum. The toss suffered by the American farmer and consumer, figured on the basis of the German -wagon road toll, is immense. If it were saved from year to year it would soon constitute a fund sufficient to Improve all of the common highways of the country. I.. W. Page, who has collected a great deal of valuable information on this subject, and who talks about road improvement intelligently and reasonably, is not among those who clamor for the federalization of the highways, On the contrary, he deplores the all too prevalent idea that nothing can be done in this country until the federal government puts its hand to the wheel, or its hand into its pocket. The states, in his opinion, should take the initiative, or, at least, prove their sincerity by setting an example for national government.

Materials of Seroe or Cheviot at Reasonable Qost May Be Transformed Into Really Dressy Fall Garments. Almost the first garment to be considered with autumn wear is a topcoat of some sort, for with this covering many a summer gown may be worn until actually chill weather. Those who are provided with the handsome sleev^kss coats of cloth or ^¾¾^¾^^¾¾ ^ 4 i0 BBS8& 0^f\ ['Ml m uL 1 Tffii 1u ^^^*M I J I Jjl \ J F 1 WWII g / / | A Simple Double-Breasted Coat. silk or satin, which have so elegantly covered thin frocks and been such distinctive features of the past season will continue to wear them up to the last moment, with the addition of loone sleeves of a contrasting material, set in under the ornamental wrmholes. Some coats doctored in this way showed sleeves of silk with cloth and others of a heavy lined lace with silk. In every case the two materials were effective together, and the reconstructed garment suggested still more good service to come. One dressmaker's idea was to mjake the aleevea detachable. To all loientB and purposes, they were sewed in the garment, but In reality they were held on" with safety pins, a bias piece extending beyond the armhole gathering for this purpose. FirBt' madam puts on her aleeves, fastening them at the shoulder and under the arm with a pin. After that, on goes the coat, whose sbpuldqr portions, however, must be longer than, is common, to hide evidence of the makebelieve. The sleeves, ,ln many instances, were close at the top and fell in a becoming bell over the hand. The first new coats to appear with the young season are generally of a practical nature. Huch as hip-length garments as would be uaed for walking, or the long lengths which suggest rain and chill winds. Every wool coat material hitherto seen is repeated in these models now in every shop, and not uncommonly the upper garment of a tailor gown will follow the exact lines of the old coat. Browns and grays, of course, predominate, as always, for odd coats, as these colors suit themselves to any gown. But numerous novelties in mixed materials are also seen, these admitting of dressy braid and velvet trimmings, which the plain cloth or cravenette coats in the best taste rarely show. The sleeve of the new coat is, unfortunately, too close to admit of entire comfort except with the tightest un dersleeves. but the mannish finish o! most of the necks gives plenty ot ease there. The shawl collar in single piece of velvet, s?ktin or silk, is a favorite neck finish for a number of coats both for misses and women. The dapper little garment sketched, whose very plainness* is its chief charm, depicts the smartes' topcoat of the season for women. A soft shade of brown covert or that with a greenish tinge—a pure tan would be too light for autumn use—is the preferred material; and if the coat is lined with farmer's satin or a stout quality of twilled silk, it would do service far Into the winter. The lining is a very important point in the smartness of a coat, and the best effects always arc obtained by having the doubling match the outside color as nearly as possible. However, a coat in pale cream cloth may be lined and trimmed with black satin, for Paris models set the stamp of possibility on such freaks of fancy. But other French coats will show the garment and lining in one color, though a flowered figure in the lining may deepen the tone.

' -V, MAKING OVER WINTER FROCKS TWO IDEAS OF REAL VALUE Belts of All Kinds Are Used to Give Requisite Touch to the Bodice. What will we do with our last winter's frocks? There is hardly an evening or afternoon gown made last winter that has not a short waist. Of course, if we have plenty of material it is easy enough to fashion a new bodice. If we have not, the problem is tn find some way of lengthening it without making the gown look patchy. Deep belts are being used for this purpose, made peasant bodice fashion. Fortunately the sash is in the heyday of its popularity, and it covers a multitude of difficulties. On evening, frocks, a wide girdle, studded with semi-precious stones, or jet, or tiny sparkling beads may often be vised, not only to lengthen the waist line, but to give character and variety to the frock. Black sashes with draped ends are seen on all sorts and descriptions of smart gowns. On one the girdle was made entirely of supple jet with ends hanging down in front, on which were long taasels. Mohair Will Wash. A mohair skirt is a mighty practical investment for the reason that it can be laundered with perfect success and does not have to be sent to ** professional cleaner's when it needs to be cleaned. The home laundress who undertakes to wash a mohair skirt must remember two things. One, that white 8oap of good quality must be used with a little borax which is not only cleansing, but gives a certain stiffness to woolen materials. Another thing to remember is that the use of a very hot iron is fatal to woolen goods. It may not apparently scorch It, but it will rot the- threads so that the goods will crack on the first or second wearing. cr jSr My son made four vory useful bookracks from one soap box 16 inches dpep, says a writer in the Boston Globe. He detached the bottom and cover, sawed the frame that was left according to the diagram(1). There were then four frames like this (2), He whittled the ends into shape (2), then sandpapered the surfaces so they were free of marks and very smooth. He next cut and flattened out tin cocoa cans, heating them in the stove till they had the appearance of iron. He cut them in strips about an inch wide, nearly pointing or rounding the ends, and fastened them on the frames with tac^s or screws thus (4), The clamp goeR on the end and also underneath. He finally gouged a davice on the outside of each end, and stained and oiled or varnished the whole frame. We find these articles neat, durable and very useful. The Dripping Pan in the Oven.—Just one very disagreeable experience, resulting from the boiling over of the juice of a baked blueberry pudding in my oil-range oven and its dripping down through the holes around the edge on the chimneys below, where it burned on instantly like enamel,' was enough to teach me the wisdom of putting a drippinj? pan of the required size into the oven to heat and then placing the-juicy article In dripping pan If the Juice would boil out, it ran over into the dripping pan.

Other people t l d not matter to them. "But that is not what I meant, Bob." An excited breath broke on t h e words. "Then it must be this—that you're an angel, and that in marrying you I'll be rewarded far beyond my earthly deserts." He smiled up at her, securely awaiting a warm contradiction. He laughed and rose to his elbow. "You vain, cheeky t h ' n g ! " But she looked at him so accusingly h e grew serious. "What's up? What have I done?" "It's what you haven't done, Robert." "Robert?" he echoed. "This gets tragic. What haven't I done, Elizabeth- Ann?" "Don't," she said, and frowned. "Well, you look It as you sit there," he teased. "Yes, as you put your head up that way and set your mouth, you're the living image—for t h e first time—of your awful, full name." "It's all very well to take it so lightly," she said, her gaze sad and searching; "but I'm not keeping things from you. I haven't had a past —and secrets." "Thank God, n o ! " he said, his eyes warm, as he tried to take her hand again. "But you—ybu h a v e ; " and the hand <tlefc wanted * a s Bitot bVMrftf^er back. "The thing I'm sure of is this—you have not told me everything." He remained Bilent fo.- a moment. "I don't quite understand you, dear. What sort of things do you want me to tell you?" He saw she was very much in earnest. Her eyes were clouded, her face set under the light coat of tan, the breath strained in her long, full throat that rose above the boyish collar of her serge blouse. -".You remember the day after I said I'd marry* you?" Her dignity bent a little" i&d ^rher Voice rtffelteJd a t t h e memory. He stared at her, puzzled, and then, lalighed softly^ a a s a i a ioaemory. He did not see her wince at the laugh. ^'That's j u s t what my dad said." He noddeft^rt "And what was the amusing thing your father said?" *'He. treated me to. some observations on the sex to which you belong, Betty: 'My b o y / he said, a woman is the most inquisitive of all living things.

You happen to have a. fancy for me— that's what you call it In your heart, PO doubt—but I'm nevertheless a woman — that poor, contemptible thing! According to your code—and the code of most men, I begin to believe— a woman can be toughed a t and lied t o — " "There!" The word was like an 1mteratlve touch and stayed her. Bob's face was cold. "Don't say any more by way of description of me, if you please. I'd like some facts instead. When was I proven a liar?" "Deception is a lie without speech." The miserable words had a triumph of a sort In them. "You'll have the truth. Yesterday afternoon when you were wrestling with Alan a locket fell out of your pocket." She watched him closely. "I saw what you did— heard what you said. You thought I'd gone into the tent—I hadn't—I'd gone Just behind the tree to get some twigs for the Are. I saw the locket fall open—there was a picture in it. Alan tried to snatch i t up—you got it first —you kissed It and showed it to Alan, and you laughed as if you'd done something clever. He asked you who it was—you whispered s o m e t h i n g - then you laughed again and said, 'Not a word to Betty, old man.' " As her words rushed out, he grew intent, quiet. When she flung the last phrase at him with al lthe contempt of which her voice was capable, hia gaze sank from hers to the ground. She waited until his silence became an answer. I t was the only answer he could make, she told herself. "Have you anything to say?" He smiled a little wanly. "Your instinct was to doubt me at once?" "Your own words t o Alan—" she began, but he continued as if he had not heard. "Your instinct was to doubt me at once," he said conclusively. "You didn't think the picture might be yours?" "How could 1? Alan said, 'Who is it?' Even t h e big, old-fashioned locket," she said bitterly, "I'd never seen belore." "That's all, then," ha said briskly, and yet with apathy. "I^et's get back to camp. It's later than we thought. There—they're calling us." He gave an answering "Halloa!" and started rapidly toward the light. There was nothing to do but follow him. It was a flat denouement to the tragedy in her heart. He had denied nothing—had only sought by a trick to place hr>r in the wrong. She was so angry, so dismayed, she grew cold and weak. She did not try to keep beside him. He did not turn his" head. As they neared the white camps and the blazing fire of boughs, she weakened. She loved him so much! If he would only speak, only prove her really wrong, how glad she would be! "Bob!" she called faintly. He turned to her, and sir ->v his face serious and calm. He uemed older, a stranger, in a sense. Her own gaze struggled to be still obstinately proud. "Bob, If you said what you did t o Alan to tease me because you thought f'd overhear—" "I didn't," he said gently. "Well, if I made a mistake in the words—" "You didn't." She looked at him helplessly. "Then, don't you see? I know it couldn't be my picture, or Alan wouldn't have said, 'Who Is it?' Nor your mother's or sister's, either, since both are well known to him. Don't you see?" she said wistfully.

Their faces, revealed'' and 'shrouded iu the leaping and falling of the gypsy fire, were like the faces of aecuamg phantoms. Bob heard a sob, bitterly fought against, break from her, and in a wild way her hands sought his, crushing a ring into them. "It is ended," she moaned. But he held her hands fast. "Answer me first." His lips were close to hers. "Do you trust me, Betty?" he whispered, with deep, penetrating tenderness. "Do you believe 1 love and honor you? Could I He to and cheat what I love and honor? Aren't you first with me? Wouldn't I shield you against the whole world? Aren't you my saint and my good angel as well as my sweetheart? Could I love you better than I do? Could I need you more?" "Forgive me, forgive me,* she whls pered, and their lipB met. Hours later they were saying good night. Betty was standing under the lifted flap of the tent. "Don't you want to ask me something?" Bob said. "Perhaps you'll tell me without mj asking," she smiled, her eyes still penitent. "You don't even want to know the color of her eyes?" "Nor of her hair—unless you tel! me yourself." "Well, she hasn't any hair," saic Bob. "No hair?" "No hair—and only one tooth—and the tooth sticks out." "Oh!"—she clasped her head her hands In sudden enlightenment—it's that hideous baby picture of me! That's what you were talking to my old nurse about that day when she came to see me—she gave it to you! It was nasty of her. Oh, Bob," she pleaded, "do give it to me, dear. It'B so—so plain." "I like it," said Bob fatuously. HIS NOT TO REASON WHY His But to Do as He Was Told Though the Proflti Dwindled. A story is told of the Rothschilds to illustrate t h e strict obedience which they at all times exacted from their employes, high and low. They once had an agent in New Orleans, a young and alert follow who kept his eyes and ears open. According to System, they telegraphed him to sell their cotton holdings on a specified day. Believing that he had better information on the local market than his employers he held the sale over four days and netted an extra profit of $4 0,000. He promptly notified t h e Rothschilds of his achievement and forwarded the bonus. The Rothschilds returned the amount intact with a cold note that ran: "The $40,000 you made by disobeying our instructions is not ours but yours. Take it. Your successor sails for New Orleans to-day." Dickens Family Lost Big Fortune. Dickens was one of the most succ e s s ^ l financially of all authors. His was no case of genius starving in a garret. "Pickwick" placed him above want at. 25, and for a period of 30 years following its publication in 1836-7 he received a princely income from his writings. His American tour brought him $50,000. His estate a t his death in 1870 was estimated a t $400,000. That his grandchildren should now be in need of the trifling pension bestowed on them is a painful illustration of the vicissitudes of family fortune. One on Pardoning Governor •w% Senator Robert L. Taylor of Tennessee delights to tell a story on himself which illustrates how he came to be known as "the pardoning governor of Tennessee." Senator Taylor has one of the tenderest hearts of any man in public life. He served as governor of Tennessee for three terms and during that period signed pardons for some 2,000 inmates of various penal institutions In the state. Pleas on behalf of young men especially affected him, and the governor took no chances if he could be satisfied that the victim was penitent. In one instance he pardoned an old mountaineer from eastern Tennessee who had gone to the penitentiary, and a few months later h e let out a member of the same family. When t h e mountaineer had been home a few months, hardly long enough for the community to forget he had been in jail, a camp meeting revival was held I n t h e neighborhood. The mountaineer, who w a s more or less of a heathen, dropped in. During the meeting several of the "sisters" gathered around the old man and begged him to "shake hands with the preacher" and "consecrate his soul to the Lord." "My good man, do not. forget the pardoning power of the Lord," said one of them. "He will not hesitate one minute if you dedicate yourself to him." "Well, I don't know much about the pardoning power of the Lord," replied the mountaineer, "but if he don't, I know Bob Taylor will." His Excuse. "So you left the farm and came up to town?" interrogated the business man. "I .suppose you thought every day up here would be a heyday?" "Yeas, sir." drawled the bumpkin, as he twirled his hat in an embarrassed way. "But why did you leave the farm?" "Because, boss, every day down there was a hay day. They never would let me stop ricking It, begosh." HIS CHANCrL "Hey, mister! Gimme a nickel an* I'll tell youse who trew dat peel down dere!" PAINT FAULTS. It is a common occurrence nowadays to hear a man: remark with disgust: "It is impossible to have good painting done these days; either the paint is not good or there a r e no good painters." This, however, is not true. There i s good paint, and there are good puinjters. But the question is, bringing them together. One cannot expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you are getting pure white lead without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. However, anyone can test white lead. National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, will send you a lead tester and painter's outfit, consisting of book of color schemes, specifications, etc., upon request. Mustn't Work Like Roebottom. F. W. Ayer, the advertising agent, at the dinner in Philadelphia in honor of the firm's fortieth anniversary, said that to succeed in advertising required hard work. "The successes in this business are stupendous," he said, "but some folks think that working as Roebottom of Camden worked, a man can build up a great advertising fortune. "Roebottom was a roofer. He was engaged on a Mickle street house. One day, as he was lunching, he was heard to give a yell of pain. " W h a t ' s the matter, Roebottom?' a carpenter asked. " I got a nail in my foot; the roofer answered. "'Well, why don't you pull it out?' said the carpenter. " 'What! In my dinner hour?' yelled Roebottom, reproachfully."—Philadelphia Record.

Predictions of cheaper living, based upon ample crops, must be taken with tome caution. We are not confronted by the problem of two-dollar wheat, which Mr. Patten probably did not expect when he was predicting It last spring. His prediction served his purpose admirably. Instead of shipping wheat lhto Chicago and breaking the May market—-the sort of thing that has broken nearly every predecessor of Mr. Patten's "bull" operations—the farmers held on to their wheat and waited for that two-dollar quotation, sayB the Philadelphia Record. The harvest began less than a month after the May option closed, and we now have every assurance that the wheat crop will exceed 700,000,000 bushels, and may reach 735,000,000 bushels. Wheat is selling in Chicago for leas than a dollar. Food ought to be, and probably will be, cheaper than it has been lately. But cotton and wool are high and textile prices show no disposition to recede. Most of the prices are rising. Structural Bteel is not a commodity that the average citizen purchases, t u t he is affected by its price; and all steel prices are up. Hides are on the tree list, but the fchoe stores and factories are stocked up with goods purchased before the repeal of the hide duty, and prices are not yet coming down. The most important item of expense is rent, and with the growth of population that tends upward, but the extensive building operations ail over the country may keep abreast of the demand. PLUNGED INTO THE OTHER WORLD T H E SUICIDE OF DR. W E B S T E R WAS CAUSED BY SHORT FINANCES. WHERE DID MONEY GO? The A t e r c l a t l o n Which He Founded Is Short Fourteen Thousand Dollars, It Is Said. How much individual credit belongs to Maria Parloa ior the improvement which has taken place in American home cooking within the last quarter of a century it is difficult to say. But t h a t . s h e was one of the foremost of the advocates of a saner diet and that she contributed materially to a culinary reform of which the present generation is enjoying the benefit admits of no question. Miss Parloa was one of thft first to apply scientific methods to cooking and to instill the principles of domestic economy in American homes. Through her books and lectures she carried on a propaganda for sound digestion which made her name a household word. Bad cooking has not been abolished. But it is undoubtedly not so prevalent. The frying pan is less and the broiler more in evidence. Breakfasts have grown simpler; they no longer burden the digestion with many kinds of hot breads and meats. More intelligence 1B put into the preparation of food for the table. The housewife's efforts are now concentrated en dinner, the postponement of which to the end of the day has been a gain for digestion. The certainty that Dr. Alfred M. Webster, of Grand Rapids, took his own life when confronting exposure of the fact that he was nearly $15,000 short in his accounts with the New Era association, the benefit society of which he \va* founder and general secretary, by no means dispels the mystery surrounding his death. The figures of the alleged shortage are given by Examiner Englehart, whose audit of the association books began shortly after the body of the suicide was discovered in the New Era offices. State Insurance Commissioner Barry was summoued from Lansing, and his statement supports that of the examiner. The note left by Dr. Webster is pointed to as an indication that his mind had been unbalanced. In it he says: "I have fought a losing tight. I tried to allow no smirch on my good name, but I could not have a home while I was doing so. I 'fought graft in higher places' and all the powers and principalities in the world were against me. I have earned all I ever got from the New Era, and more. I have given honest service, but if there is anything yet due I pay it now with all my heart." The associates of the dead man are utterly unable to explain what became of the money taken from the association treasury. The iu\w home, nearing completion, " that ho was building would not represent any heavy share of the amount given, and WeLster apparently was not given to any form of dissipation or to squandering money recklessly. He had been twice married, his second wife being a girl of about 18 when he married recently. Two daughters survive him, one being the wife of C. S. McGwire, of Grand Rapids. It is stated by the company officers that the shortage in Webster's accounts will in no way affect the association or its policyholders. There is enough money on hand in the local banks to pay every claim and have some $18,000 "left over, it is said. Webster was, moreover, under bond and was himself insured for $5,000 in the organization. MICHIGAN ITEMS. A man 90 years of age, who had been sentenced for life, has been pardoned and released from the New Jersey state prison at Trenton. He was committed many years ago, and he comes forth to a world which bewilders, him because it is so different from that which he knew. He had never seen a trolley car, the automobile was an undreamed-of machine for general use when he was incarcerated and in many other respects extraordinary changes have been wrought during the term of hia imprisonment. Such an incident gives the world itself a little opportunity to note how fast it is going, though very likely the old globe will not take time to give the matter much heed, but will let out another speed notch and hustle on to still greater things. Great Sugar Crop. , The annual campaign for the making of beet sugar started in Bay City Monday. The German-American factory was the first to commence slicing beets, ami the West Bay City and Bay City factories foLow toward the end of next week. Beets give promise of being t h e best crop' ever this year, from t h e tests of those already placed in factory sheds, The yield is large and the sugar percentage heavy, so that the farmers will reap good profits. The local factories will pay out close to $1,000,000 for beets. Signs of progress: Railroads carrying more freight than ever before, although the great grain movement is just beginning. Demand for more rolling stock. Iron and steel mills rushed with orders. Farmers asking for help to gather crops. Wholesale and retail trade improving daily. Money easy and payments prompt. T h a t optimistic feeling all along the line. Get aboard! The French minister of justice has sent orders to the district attorneys throughout France to prosecute vigorously the cases of cruelty to domestic animals. He adds that the prevalence of this evil is distressing and that it is largely caused by the indifference of the authorities. If officials would heartily co-operated with the anti-cruelty societies here our own streets might be saved some revolting revelations of brutality. What the flyers need to make tham happy is petrol put up in ttblold form Two Terms to Serve. E. O. Mills and his son Harvey were convicted in Flint of assaulting Deputy Sheriff Howard on a F. & S. interurban car, and the father was sentenced to 90 days in the Detroit house of correction. The son drew ten days in the county jail. When E. O. Mills finishes his term in the De troit prison he will he taken to .Tackuon, where he will probably have to pervo out a five year sentence for grand larceny, from which he was paroled last May, after having served 17 months. A Weak T i t l e . After about $C0,0G0 has been expended in establishing and maintaining a state reforestation reserve in Crawford and Roscommon counties, it develops that through the failure of the defunct forestry commission to iiave deeds to the reserve placed on record the state ha,s a weak title to part, of the big reserve, and the new public domain commission faces the task of settling with tax title speculators to procure a clear title to the property. Never Awakened. Mrs. Wilhr^mina Krueger, aged fin, died Wednesday morning of last week after Icing in a comatose state for three dnys. The death occurred in her home three miles west of Ecorse. She was com para lively-well Saturday night, when shr* attended the marriage of her daughter. Next morning she was fmrrd in a sort oT trance, from which she nrv1""" awoke. The cause of her long sleep is not known. Both Were Killed. Their rig struck by Michigan Central fast mall train No. 31 at the Intersection of Cross street and the tracks, Wednesday afternoon, Andrew A. MeAdoo, 45, was Instantly killed sr.d his mother, Mrs. Eliza MeAdoo, TO, was so badly Injured that she died 15 minutes later. They lived on the Hammond farm, two miles south of Ypsilanti, and were to catch the train that killed them, the old lady contem- L plating a trip to Detroit. , A. P. Harding, sewing machine salesman, of Grand Rapid*, fell dead In the street, near his home, of heart trouble. J. W. Loomla, well-to-do farmer, haa been convicted in Battle Creek of cruelty in beating a 13-year-old boy with a plank. The state tax commission will, in all probability have to reassess Bay City property. According to Chairman Hoyt the assessment ^vas unfair. Conductor Frank Cady, of a Grand Trunk freight train, was run down and killed in the Port Huron yaxds. He lived at Battle Creek, was married and 45. The petitions for a new option election have been signed by more than half the voters of the county, apparently ready to vote Oakland "wet" again. After being tenantless since Aug. 24, the Charlevoix jatl is now entertaining Otto Chrlstman and John Hall, charged with stealing flsh netB from Lake Michigan. Allan McFadden, a Flint fireman, pulled the fire alarms on his off duty days to see the other firemen hustle. He was arrested, confessed, released, and fired from his job as fireman. James S. Mftcard. 87, decided he had a few years left to live and that he wanted to die in his old home in Battle Creek. He caught cold moving back and died a few days later. Edward Payne, 22, burglar, was sentenced from two and a half to five yea-s in the Ionia reformatory in Saginaw. No burglaries have been reported since Payne has been put away. Jackson officials have notified billiard hall and cigar store owners that the law concerning students will be strictly enforced. They can't play pool, buy cigarettes or smoke in public. Herbert Cross, 13, of Wayne, has been missing from his home for two weeks. The boy's father is a teamster. His mother died some time ago. Cross, Sr., is anxious to locate his son. Saginaw police, summoned by neighbors, found Mrs. Thomas Nash» [~8, helplessly ill and her six children on the verge of starvation. Nash, a painter, deserted the family t e n days ago. Three large barns owned by Andrew Spring, of Jeddo, were destroyed by fire last week. One of the barns contained a quantity of wheat that had just been threshed. The total loss is $2,000. John Freemyer, sent from Benton Harbor to serve time in Jackson for shooting a man, will probably be freed by the confession of his former pal, James Nolter, that the latter is the guilty party. Patrick O'Leary, Flint harnessmaker, came to Durand, picked up a couple of strange friends, drank with them and bought their dinner. In return they beat, bound, gagged and robbed him in the railroad yards. George West, 14, escaped from the Lansing reform school, went to Alpena, and robbed a store of a revolver and fishing outfit, and was arrested while shooting ducks on the river. He was sent back to Lansing. Mrs. Adeline Sutherland, late, of Saginaw, dead at the age of 84, was a grandniece of the "boy governor," Stevens T. Mason, first executive of this state, and the daughter of one of the organizers of the Michigan Central railroad. Lee J. Rivett, ex-convict jailed for assisting James Cushway to escape from Jackson prison, has been released, the law providing no way of punishing him for the assistance he rendered Cushway after the latter had left the institution. Joseph Gobie, a young St. Joseph farmer, was struck by a Per© Marquette train late Sunday and lay beside the track all night unconscious. When he was discovered t h e next morning he was rushed to the hospital, but he died en route. Charles Lee Sears, formerly of Saginaw, died in Jersey City. Sears was a well known railroad construction engineer and assisted in the construction of the Ludington division of the Pere. Marquette, the old Holly, Wayne and Monroe road. H. G. Ridgeway, night telegraph operator, and C. G. Neff, night baggageman, are being held on suspicion of being implicated in the robbing of a money drawer at t h e G. R. & I railway depot in Kalamazoo. Over $100 was taken from the till. The National Croatian society Is going to build a college for their people only, and has decided to raise $100,000 for that purpose. The Croatlans decided this in convention at Calumet and have re-elected Paul Hadjic, of Chicago, as their president. • Raymond Remington, 28, of Battle Creek, Is dead of suffocation, caused by smoking cigarettes. The case 1B declared unique, the valve of the man's heart through which the blood was returned to that organ having been practically destroyed, according to the doctors. Arrested on a charge of stealing a $5 bill from the till of Thomas R. Donohue, a saloonist, Charles Brown, a Saginaw character, "stood for" a search in the police station Saturday night and came off almost victorious, as no money was found on him. Just as he was about to leave the station a free man a $5 bill was found on the floor under the chair on which he had been sitting, and he it now in * cell awaiting arraignment THE PRESIDENT TALKS FREELY T A F T W I L L U R O i SHIP SUBSIDY B E L I E V I N G T H E C O U N T R Y 18 READY. THE FUTURE OF ALASKA Openly Declares For Aid For the Merchant Marina In His Seattle Speech. Speaking before the largest audience he haa faced since his trip began—a crowd t h a t overflowed the natural amphitheater of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, with Us seating capacity of nearly 20,0(10-President Taft Thursday announced that he would urge in his coming message to congress the enactment of a ship subsidy law. He declared that the country was ready to make such experiment, -and that something must be done to build up an American iner chant marine. When the president turned to Alaska ami declared that he waa opposed to granting a territorial form of government to that far-off possession, the statement was received in silence. As the president proceeded, however, and outlined the policy for the upbuilding of Alaska, of recommending govern ment aid in the construction of railroads, of a local government by a commission of five or more members, appointed by the president and cooperating with the governor, and when he told of the great possibilities that lie in Alaska, he plainly caught the favor of his hearers and was loudly cheered. "We earn a profit from our foreign mails of from $6,000,000 to $8,000.0(50 a year. The appropriation of that amount would be quite sufficient to put on a satisfactory basis two or three Oriental lines and several lints from t h e east to South America. Of course, we are familiar with the argument t h a t this would be a contribution to private companies out of the treasury of the United States, but we are thus contributing in various ways on similar brmciples in effect, both by our protective tariff laws, by our river and harbor bills, and by our reclamation service. We are putting money into the pockets of ship owners, but we are giving them money with which they can compete for reasonable profit only, with the merchant marine of the world." The president pointed out the perilous position of the United States in the event of a foreign war, when we should have to buy vessels from other countries to use as colliers for our fleets—a proceeding which in view of the International neutrality law3 would be exceedingly undesirable.

An animated conference, lasting nearly an hour, between Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, and Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, waB held In the big train shed of the Union station. Hubbard was on his way from Bar Harbor to New York. Peary was at the station to meet Hubbard. After a hearty shake of the hand, t h e two men paced up and down the train shed in earnest conversation. At one of the pauses the explorer unbuttoned his navy blue sack coat and from the inside pocket pulled forth w h a t appeared to be a bulky white envelope. Shortly after, he made several notes on a small piece of paper and handed it to Hubbard. The general put both into his inside pocket. Finally the west-bound train began t o move. Hubbard grasped Peary's hand cordially and, with a few words of parting, stepped aboard the express. "I have no remarks to make," said Peary, as he started to return to his hotel. "Hubbard and I had just had a very pleasant conference. I do not c a r e to state what we talked about. I understand that the Peary Arctic club Intends to make a public statem e n t some time next week." Peary said he and Mrs. Peary would go to their home on Eagle island, Casco bay. THE MARKETS. "A Colossal Bluff." The Rhenische Westphalischp Gazette, an industrial paper In Rhineland, takes a surprising view of the HudsoniFulton celebration. It declares that the whole thing Is "a colossal American bluff organized by Mayor McClellan for the benefit of T a m m a n y political wire pullers. T h e committee has persuaded tho whole world to support the bluff. That the German government, the government of a country of poets and philosophers, was not aware of the real purpose of the celebration is incredible." The Gazette discovers that Presid e n t Taft went west in order to avoid taking part in the celebration.

XoCluxt * OOi) • Y N O P 8 I B V The story opens with the shipwreck ot the steamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Wlnthrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake, a brusque American, were passengers. The three were toBsed upon an uninhabited Island and were the only one* not drowned. Blake, shunned on the boat, because of his roughness, became a hero •a preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing for the hand of Miss Leslie. Wlnthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which he was scored by Blake. All three constructed hats to shield themselves from the sun. They then feasted on cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss Leslie showed a liking for Blake, but detested his roughness. Led by Blake, they established a home In some cliffs. Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation. Blake recovered his surveyor's magnifying glass, thus insuring fire. He started a Jungle fire, killing a large leopard and smothering several cubs. In the leopard's cavern they built a small home. They gained the cliffs by burning the"bottom of a tree until It fell against the heights. The trio secured eggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white skirt was decided upon as a signal. Miss Leslie made a dress from the leopard skim Overhearing a conversation between Blake and Wlnthrope, Miss Leslie became frightened. Wlnthrope became ill with fever. Blake was poisoned by a fish and almost died. Jackals attacked the camp that night, but wore driven off by Qfcnevieve. Blake constructed an animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour the trio discovered honey and oysters. Miss I^eslte was attacked by a poisonous snake. Blake killed it and saved its poison to kill game. For the second time Wlnthrope was attacked by fever. He and Blake disagreed. The latter made a strong door for the private compartment of Miss Leslie's cave home. CHAPTER XIX.—Continued. "Mr.—Mr. Blake, pray do not gef excited— I—I mean, please excuse me. I'm—" "You're coming down sick!" he said. "No, no! I have no fever." "Then it's the sun. Yet you ought to keep up there where the air is freshest. I'll make you a shade." She protested, and withdrew, somewhat hurriedly, to her tree. *n the morning Blake was gone again: but Instead of a note, beside the fire stood the smaller antelope skin converted into a great bambooribbed sunshade. She spent the day as usual on the headland. There was no wind, and the Eun was scorching hot. But with her big sunshade to protect her from the direct rays, the heat was at least endurable. She even found energy to work at a basket which she was attempting to weave out of long, coarse grass; yet there were frequent intervals when her hands sank idle in her lap, and she gazed away over the shimmering glassy expanse of the ocean. In the afternoon the heat became oppressively sultry, and a long slow swell began to roll shoreward from beyond the distant horizon, showing no trace of white along its oily crests \1ntil they broke over the coral reefs. There was not a breath of air stirring, and for a time the reefs so checked the rollers that they lacked force to drive on in and break upon the beach. Steadily, however, the swell grew heavier, though not so much as a cat'spaw ruffled the dead surfaces of the watery hillocks. By sunset they were rolling high over both lines of reefs and racing shoreward to break upon the beach and the cliff foot in furious surf. The still air. reverberated with the bosoming of the breaker. Yet the • girl, inland bred .. and unversed in weather lore, sat heedless and indifv ,«_,ferent, her eyes fixed upon the hori- *" son in a vacant stare. Her reverie was at last disturbed by the peculiar behavior of the seafowl. Those in the air circled around in a wanner strange to her. white their mates on the ledges waddled restlessly about gver and between their nestB. There was a shriller note than usual In their discordant clamor. Yet even when she gave heed to the birds, the girl failed to reallie their alarm or to sense the impending danger. 11 was only that a feeling of disquiet had broken the spell of her reverie; it did not obtrude upon the field of her conscious thought. She sighed and rose to return' to the cleft, idly wondering ihat the air should seem more sultry than at mid-day. The peculiar appearance of the sun and the western sky meant nothing more to her thaa «a odd. effect .ot ooJor.ind right She smilmgjy compared tt with an atfrnpU* fJeugsar, pajptstf by *m m**fKfrifm4 M t f e . , Impressionist fe*api,% 4 J .. «? Neither Wlnthrspe nor Blake was la sight when she reached the baobab, and. neither appeared, though she delayed fupper 'un*U dark. It was quite possible that they had eatea before her return and had gone off again, the Englishman to dose and Blake on an evening,himt, ,, At last, tired of waiting, vne covered the fire and retired into her tree-cave. The air in the cleft was still more stilling than on the headland. She paused, with her hand upraised to close the swinging door. She had propped It open when she came out in the morning. After a moment's "hesitation, she went on across the hollow, leaving the door wide open. "1 will rest a,little, and close it later," sbe sighed. She was feeling weary and depressed. An hottr passed. An ominous stillness lay upon the cleft Even the cicadas had hushed their shrill note. The only sound was a muffled reverberating echo of the surf roaring upon the seashore. Beneath the giant spread of the baobab all Was blackness. Something moved In a bush a little way down the cleft A crouching figure appeared, dimly outlined in the starlight. The figure crept stealthily across into the denser night of the bao-' bab. The darkness closed about it like a shroud. A blinding flash of light pierced the blackness. The figure halted and crouched lower, though the flash had gone again in a fraction of a second. A dull rumbling mingled with the ceaseless boom of the surf. A second flash lighted the cleft with "I Know Already—I Know All." its daazllng coruscation. This time the creeping figure did not halt Again and again the forked lightning streaked across the sky, every stroke more vivid than the one before. The rumble of the distant thunder deepened to a heavy rolling which dominated the dun roar of the breakers. The storm was coming with the on-rush of a tornado. Yet the leaves hung motionless in the still air, and there was no sound other than the thunder and the boornjng of the surf. The lightning flared, one stroke upon the other, with a brilliancy that lit up the cave's interior brighter than at mid-day. In the white glare the girl saw Wlnthrope, crouched beneath her upswung door; and his face was as the face of a beast. CHAPTER X X . The Hurricane Blast. OR a moment that seemed a moment of eternity she lay on her bed staring into the blank darkness. The storm burst with a crashing uproar that brought her to her feet with a shriek. Her giant tree creaked and strained under the impact of the terrific hurricane blasts that came howling through the cleft like a rout of shrieking fiends. The peals of thunder merged into one continuous roar, beneath which the solid ledges of rocks jarred and quivered. The sky was a pall of black clouds, meshed with a dazzling network of forked lightning. The girl stood motionless, stunned by the uproar, appalled by the blinding glare of the thunderbolts; yet even more fearful of the figure which every flash showed her still lurking beneath the door. A gust-borne bough struck with numbing force against her upraised arm. But she took no'heed. She was unaware of the swirl of rain and sticks and leaves that was driving in through the open entrance. On a sudden the door "shook free from its props and whirled violently around on Its balance-bar. There was a'shriek that pierced above the shrilling of thai cyclone—a single human shriek.. The girl sprang across the cave. The heavy door swished up before her and down again, its lower edge all bat grating her face. For a moment it stopped in a vertical position and hung quivering,, like a beast about to leap upon Its prey. Too excited to comprehend the danger of the act, the girl sprang forward and shot one of the thick bars Into Its socket A fierce gust leaped against the outer face of the door and thrust in upon It, striving to burst It bodily from its bearings. The top and the free side of the bottom bowed in. But the branches were still green and tough, the bamboo like whalebone and the shrunken creepers held the frame together as though the joints weie lashed with wire rope. -Falling to smash In the elastic structure oi to snap the crossbar It were as If the blast flung itself alternately against the top and bottom in a fierce attempt to again whirl the frame about. The white glare streaming in through the interstices showed the girl her opportunity. She grasped another bar and shot it into its socket as the lower part of the door gave back with the shifting of the pressure to the top. It was then a simple matter to slide the remaining bars into the deep-sunk holes. Within half a minute she had made the door fast from the first bar to the sixth. A heavy spray was beating in upon her through the chinks of the framework. She drew back and sought shelter in a niche at the side. Narrow as was the slit above the top of the door, it let in a torrent of water, which spouted clear across and against the far wall of the cave. It gushed down upon her bed and was already flooding the cave floor. She piled higher the cocoanuts stored in her niche, and perched herself upon the heap to keep above the water. But eevn in her sheltered corner the eddying wind showered her with spray. She waded across for her skin-covered sunshade, and returned to huddle beneath it, in the still misery and terror of a hunted animal that has crept wounded into a hole. During the first hurricane there had been companions to- whom she could look for help and comfort, and she had been to a degree unaware of the greatness of the danger. But in the few short weeks since she had caught more than one glimpse of Primeval Nature—she of the bloody fang, blind, remorseless, insensate, destroying, ever destroying. True, this was on solid land, while before there had been the peril of the sea. But now the gin was alone. Outside the straining walls of her refuge, the hurricane yelled and shrieked and roared—a headless, formless monster, furious to burst in upon her, to overthrow her stanch old tree giant, that in his fail his shattered trunk might crush and mangle her. Or at any instant a thunder-bolt might rend open the great tower of living wood, and hurl her blackened body into the pool on the cave floor. Once she fancied that she heard Blake shouting outside the door; but when she screamed a shrill response, the blast mocked her with echoing shrieks, and she dared not venture to free the door. If it were Blake, he did not shout again. After a time she began to think that the sound had been no more than a fr"a,i of the shifting wind. Yet the thought of him out in the full fury of the cyclone served to turn her thoughts l.-om her own danger. She prayed aloud for his safety, beseeching God that he be spared. She sought to pray e/en for Wlnthrope. But. the vision of that beastly face rose up before htr, and she could not—then. Presently she became awar& of a change in the storm. The terrific gusts blew with yet greater violence, the thunder crashed heavier, the lightning filled the air with a flame of dazzling white light. But the rain no longer gushed across on the spot where her bed had been. It was entering at a different angle, and its force was broken by the bend in the thick wall of the entrance. After a time the deluge dashed aslant the entrance, gushing down the door in a cataract of foam. Another interval, and the driving downpour no longer struck even the edge of the opening. The wind was veering rapidly as the cyclone center moved past on one side. The area ot the hurricane was little more than thrice that of a tornado, and it was advancing along its course at great speed. An hour more, and the outermost rim of the huge whirl was passing ovor the cleft. Quickly the hurricane gusts fell away to a gale; the gale became a breeze; the breeze lulled and died away, stifled by the torrential rain. Within the baobab all was again dark and silent. Utterly exhausted, the girl had sunk back against the friendly wall of the tree, and fallen asleep. She was wakened by a hoarse call: "Miss Jenny! Miss Jenny, answer me! Are you all right?" She started up, barely saving herself from a fall as the big unhusked nuts rolled beneath her feet The morning sunlight was streaming in over her*e>or. She sprang down ankledeep into the mire of the cars floor, and ran to loosen the bars. As the door swung up, she darted out, *l£b - a cry of delight: "You are safe—-safe! Oh, ! was so afraid for you! But you're drenched! You must build a fire—dry yourself—at once!" "Walt," aald Blake. "I've got to tell you something." He' caught her outstretched hands, and pushed them down with gentle force. His face was grave, almost solemn. "Think you can stand bad news—a shock?" "I— What is it? You look so strange!" "It's about Winthrope—something very bad—" She turned, with a gasp, and hid her face in her hands, shuddering with horror and loathing. "Oh! oh!" she cried. "I know already— I know all!" . "All?" demanded Blake, staring blankly. "Yes; all! And -and he made me think it was yo .!" t:he gasped, and fell silent. Blake's face went white. He spoke in a clear, vibrant voice, tuuse aa an overstrained violin string: "I am speaking about Winthrope — understand me? — Winthrope. He has been badly hurt." "The door swung down and struck him, when he was creeping in." "God!" roared Blake. "I picked him up like a sick baby—the beast! — 'tstead of grinding my heel in his face! God! I'll—" "Tom! don't—don't even speak of it! Tom!" "God! When a helpless girl—when a—!" He choked, beside himself with ^ge. She sprang to him, and caught his sleeve in a convulsive grasp. "Hush, for mercy's sake! Tom Blake, remember— you're a man!" He calmed Ifke a ferocious dog at the voice of its master; but it was several minutes before he could bring himself to obey her insistent urging that he should return to the injured man. "I'll go," he at last growled. "Wouldn't do It even for you, but he's good as dead—lucky fcr him!" "Dead!" "Dying. You stay away." He went around the baobab and a few paces along the cleft to the place where a limp form lay huddled on the ledges, out of the mud. Slowly, as though drawn by the fascination of horror, the girl crept after him. When she saw the broken, storm-beaten thing that had been Winthrope, she stopped, and would have turned back. After all, as Blake had said, he was dying— When she stood at the feet of the writhing figure, and looked down into the battered face, it required all her will-power to keep from fainting. Blake frowned up at her for an instant, but said nothing. Winthrope was speaking, feebly and brokenly, yet distinctly: "Really, I did not mean any harm—at first—you know. But a man does not always have control—" "Not a beast like you!" growled Blake. "Ow! Don't 'it me! I say now, I'm done for! My legs are cold already—" (TO BE CONTINUED.) WORRIED T H E YOUNG MOTHER. Lack of "Progress" Might Have Proved a Serious Thing. "When people in our part of the country select a family physician they stick to him," says an Illinois physician. "If ne goes away they won't call in some one else if they can possibly help it. They have faith in nobody but their own man, so long as he manages to be fairly successful. Last spring I went up to Chicago for a few days, much to the distress of a young mother in our town, who expects me to inspect her only baby every other day at least. The second day of my stay she telegraphed me to come home at once. Baby was sick—she told me the trouble—she didn't know what to do. It wasn't an urgent case, I knew, so I wired back a reassuring message, told her to give the baby a dose of some medicine she had at hand, and to fill out the ten words I put in 'Prognosis admirable.' I always like to use large words when I'm telegraphing— makes me feel that I'm getting the worth of my money, you know. When I got home two days later I went to lee the baby. " 'She's all right now," the mother told me, 'but we were awfully worried We had to rely on the medicine you left though. The boy, at the drug store didn't have a bit of prognosis In the place." Min Owns Wife's Dresses. The question of who owns the dresses of a wife came up in the Brompton county court of Maryland recently and the judge decided that the husband is the owner. The man held that he had given the wife the money to buy the dresses in dispute and although they* were not paid for it was decided that they belonged to him. Feeding Farm Hands. t . . f • ' . i , •< Every farmer's wife knows what tremendous appetites farm hand« usually have; bat while they t&t well they work well, too. Here's a good suggestion about feeding farm hands. Give them plenty of Quaker Oats.~ A big dish of Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and * cream or milk la the greatest breakfast in the world for a man who needs vigor and strength for a long day's work. The man that eats Quaker Oats plentifully and often is the man who does good work without excessive fa* / tigue. - There Is a sustaining quality in Quaker Oata not found in other foods, and for economy it is at the head of the list. Besides the regular size packages Quaker Oats is packed In large size family packages, with and without china. 5 HAVING FUN WITH A BANKER Some men seem to extend a standing offer to the public to sit down on i them. Practical Joke That Doubtless Was More Appreciated by the Player Than the Victim. Councilman F. A. Drew is fond of playing practical jokes on William H. Lee, president of the Merchaats-Laclede National bank. Mr. Drew was for years a director in Mr. Lee's bank. While the bankers were waging their recent war upon prohibition, Mr. Drew late one night rang up Mr. Lee at his home and represented that he was a reporter assigned to get Mr. Lee's views on the situation. Mr. Lee complained somewhat bitterly on being called out of bed at that hour of night to give an interview, but finally got warmed up to the subjeet and for 30 minutes pictured the desolation that would result in St. Louis if Missouri went dry. "Let me see," said Mr. Drew at the conclusion of the interview, "you are Mr. William H. Lee, whisky man, aren't you?" "No." snarped Mr. Lee. "I am Mr. William H. Lee. the banker." "Oh," said Mr. Drew, apologetically, "I am very sorry, but I wanted to talk to Mr. Lee the whisky expert, and not Mr. Lee the financier." Mr. Drew hung up the receiver before the explosion occurred on the other end of the wire.—St. Louis Post Dispatch. Foker Finance. Mose Coonley (a winner)—Guess I'll cash in, boys. Abe Mokeby (also to the good) — Guess I'll do de same. Jefferson Yallerby—Me too! Bill Bingy (the banker, a big loser) —Well, I guess yo' eac1* done got anuddeh guets a-coiuin', gen'lemen!

In spite of the reputation for latitudlnarianism he gained from his early trial for heresy, the late Prof. Jowett of Oxford was intolerant of pretentiousness and shallow conceit. One self-satisfied undergraduate met the master one day. "Master," he said, "I have searched everywhere in all philosophies, ancient and modern, and nowhere do I find the evidence of a God." "Mr. ," replied the master, after a shorter pause than usual, "if you don't find a God by five o'clock this afternoon you must leave this college." C H I L D R E N S H O W E D IT Effect of Their W a r m Drink in the Morning. A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nervedestroying regular coffee for any money." Read the famous little "Health Classic," "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

She understood; but It seemed merely like a horrible chasm that opened before her feet, and sha rose to leave this last shelter. Opposite to her, as she raised her eyes was a bronze group—a man and a woman. Of no large, lovely life, these two, far removed from human [ t ADIEK O pain, but Ill-clad, ill-fed, bowed withf 1 ¾ ¾ ¾ 8 toil and grief, they still clung to one viied. another in the sorrow of a common 1 loss borne together. ! As she gazed they seemed to oreathe. And Marie understood; for' even the babe at the breast of the bronze figure could not make the mother forget the other child she had lost. » ' It was Le Peuple Pleure, the most wonderful modern statue of the pity of the sorrowful earth. As Mme. Labarthe seemed to see the child move its tiny hand a panic descended on her. For baby Maurice had been alone without her all the long, hours of this miserable day. It waa quite dark la the hall, and from the salon came the* sound of a child's sobs and a man's voice soothing the babe ineffectually. She pushed open the door, and her husband turned from the red glow of the stove wHfc Maurice in his arms, "Give him to me," she cried, pushing up her vail and holding out her arms. To the cool freshness of the outdoor air on her face the childcheld up, his hot lips, and, cuddling his feet in her hands, she comforted him. Nothing hurt cow, not even the mutilated violin.

"Yee, suh; I'v« seen bad men— plenty of 'em, In the-early days, before this yere country1 waa a white man's country past disputln'. I've seen 'em ride into a settlement, an' jest natchally hold up the whole bloomln' outfit. I've seen men-what was shot, an' men what died o' thirst; an" onct, when I was a "boy, I seen a man—a maverick — what the Mescalero Apaches 'd staked out over a ant-hill. It was bad—rotten bad. The ways o' rough men Is some queer, but they caln't touch the devil's tricks they teach in civilization. I seen one o' them onct that fer ctean devilment would ha' put the everlastin" kibosh on even ol' Cochise,, an' he was some bad." I asked a question. "Yes, I'll tell you. Walt till I ketch up the burros, or they'll wander off Into the brush an* '11 be the Lord only knows how fur off by mornin'." "Twenty-five year ago I was manager of one over in the Progresso country—a good ranch, with two hundred thousand head on the runs. It was owned by a New York company— Bar Lazy O, they called it. I started In as herder till I near went loco from loneliness. I was there for ten year, and when the old company sold out, young Mr. Hirton, the treasurer of the new outfit, offered me the place aa manager, an' I jumped at it, 'cause, you see, I'd been waitln' fer a chance fer money, an' two thousand a year Is wuth some waitin'. Mr. Hirton come out every summer fer three or four months; he was a lunger, you know. His sister come out an* kept house fer him. She sure was a goodlookin' girl—tall and straight, an' eyes bluer'n ever I seen, an* hair like the bottom of a new copp'er kittle when the sun shines on it. "One day she says to me: 'Mr. Connor, my brother expects two gentlemen out here next week, an' I'd like you to go to the railroad to meet 'em, If you can.' " 'Sure I can,' says I. "So when the time come I Ht out in a buckboard fer the railroad. 'Twas a three days' trip an' rough ridin', an' I was durned glad when they shoved them two tenderfeet off 'n the train an' dumps about four trunks around 'em. "Ofce of 'em was a feller about twenty- six, built from the ground up, name o' White. The other was a man of about forty or forty-five, cleanshaved, wearin' specs, an' mighty keerful in his dressin*. Perfesser Cringle was his name, an' I found out later he was a bugologist fer some museum in Chicago. "Course I was makin' bets with myself all along that both of 'em was after Miss May. I never yet seen two men what'd travel three thousand miles to see a lunger. "It turned out that I was half right, fer While had knowed Miss May fer about six year, but the perfesser was a man Hirton picked up in Chicago, an' got him interested in loco weed, an' he come out to investigate it. He'd never met Miss May. But that didn't make no difference, there's got to be a first time to all things, an' pretty soon things was gay on that ranch with the two men tryin' all kind o* ways to git a corner on Miss May's time. She liked White—anybody could Ree that—an' ol' Cringle wasn't even an 'also ran.' "One evenin', while I was a-Rottin' by the bunk-house a-Kmokln' before turnln' in, I heered the front door shot in the big house, 'n* I looks up an' Bees Miss May 'n' White standin' on the porch In the moonlight. The vines was all about 'em, an' by an' by I heered the murmur o' the voices like that water yonder, 'n' then I sees White hold out both arms to her. She kin' o' wavered fer a minute, like a young cottonwood in a breeze, an* he catches her, an* then on a sudden I seen the curtain go up about two inches in the settln'-room winder, an* 1 seen the gleam o' the light on a pair o' specs, an' a minute later ol' Specs comes out by the back door. He didn't see me a-settln' by the bunk-house in the shadder, so he passes over an' stands there.within teni feet o| mc, soft-like: 'It is not rfood fer man to live alone, but ye're not goin' to marry him. No, ye're not. Fate has reserved fer ye the consbiin' influences of a man o' science. I'm older 'n him, *n' I know more, an' he shan't have ye, any way,' he says, gazin at 'em till I thought he'd lose his Right Specs comes up to me In the corral He waff*'alw»3r« politeful to me, an' he says: <Miv Connor, will you «t«p over to the chicken yard? There's a strange animal there that-I don't know.' ~ •• *' 'Skunk, maybe/ says I, tollerin* him. " 'There,' says he, pointln' to a busby tail a-stickin' out from the coop. Wait till I ketch it,' he says. "'You let that alone,' I hollers. 'It's a hydrophobia Bkunk. If it bites you, it'a sure death;' an' I pulled my gun an' plugged It "Ol' Specs jumped fer It 'Mephisto hydraulics,' aayB he." "Mephitis mephitica hydrophobia," I suggested, brushing some hot cigarette ashes from my blanket. "Aye, that's i t I thought he was swearing In bug Latin. Ol' Specs jumped fer it like a duck fer a June bug. " 'I've heered of 'em, Mr. Connors,' says he, 'but I never seen one before. I alius thought it was a yarn like you western men give to a tenderfoot,' he says. '"Yarn hell! One bit Mallory last year when he was roundln' up cattle in Tonto basin, an' he went out sudden.' "One day Mr. Hirton come to me and says: 'Connor, how wonld you like to put in six weeks hunting mountain sheep." "'Fine!' I says. 'Up near the line there's lots of 'em.' There was no fine in them days fer killin' 'em. " 'Mr. White an' the perfesser would like to go,' he says, 'so fix up fer all of ye to go to-morrow. Ye can take Smith to help with the packs.' "We finally hit the foothills of the White Water Range, after about two weeks' traveling, an' made up near the head of the canyon. I'd seen some o' them durned hydrophobia skunks loafln' around the camps, an* every night I d take my beddin' roll an' prop up the edges o* the canvas with sticks or sling it up between two trees. y ,.v "Specs wasn't much on huntin', 'ceptin' bug huntin', so he sajs, 'You folks go hunt yer sheep, an' I'll lie around camp an' git my game here,' he says. So he generally had grub fixed fer us in the evenin*. "One night when we come in I went up the stream to catch some fish, an' about a half-mile up the stream I seen a empty on the bank with slats nailed over it, an' inside it was one o' these yere animals. 'Spec's got a pet,' I thinks, an' I meant to josh him about it. But when I went back to camp I fergot all about it. "Next night I moved my beddin' roll an' hung it up between two trees away out from the fire, an' lay there a-watching' Specs chop up a squirrel he'd shot. White had turned in, an' presently Specs goes down to wash his hands in the stream. When he come back he come by the rear of the tent, an' got in on the side away from me. "I turned out at daylight, an' while I had my face in the creek I heard a yell up in camp that made me jump; then a shot, follered by two more. I made one Jump an' lit by the fire. White was standin' by the fire with his gun in his hand, his face whiter'n chalk, an' at his feet was a hydrophobia skt.nk—dead. " 'What's the matter?' says I. " 'Ohe o' them varmints was in White's boot, an' bit him on the hand,' says Specs. 'Heat a knife,' he says. "The fire was out, an* it took about twenty minutes to start it an' get a blade hot. We done the best we could by tyin* a string 'round the arm an' cuttin' into the hand. "That broke up the party. We got the packs ready to pull out after dinner, an' I went up-stream to catch some fish. 'I'll jest go up an* look at Spec's pet,' thinks I, an' when I got up-stream to where he had it, I seen the box, but there wasn't nothin' in it. 'Wonder k # l l £ got out?' thinks I, an' the fust thlhf I seen was that there wasn't no hole In die box, but the top Splat was knocked off. Now, there ain't no animal nvih' wnat'ii knock the top slat off'n a box to git p u t "We pulled out after dinner, an' I never waat to s o a worse trip. White was nervous an' worried, an' would look fer hours at hie hand. After four or five days It turned red an' angry* lookin', an* White got mighty Irritable, an' his eyes was bloodshot, an' he had the meanest grin on his face that I ever seen. Old Specs was devotin' all his time to him, even makin' poultices ter him out'n rattlesnake weed. "One night after we'd hit the back trail fer about three weeks we camped fer the night I handed White his tin cup full of coffee. He took it, an' 1 aeen him strain an' strain, an* the big swallerin' muscles on his throat stand out, but he couldn't drink. He says to me quiet-like: 'Connor, I gness I'm all in.' "I says, 'Nonsense, White! Buck up. It's all fancy.' There wasn't no Pasteur treatment in them days. "The next night we had to tie him. He was foamin' at the mouth. '"God! what a awful sight!' saya Specs. "I took my gun an' spun around the cylinder, an' says: 'No law runs west of the Colorado line, but them animals is sure bad medicine. There ma; be some things around to-night that need killin'.' "Specs looks queer, but says nothin'. "That night about moonrise I heevd a shot, an' come out o' my beddin' roll all standin'. White was layin' by the fire with his feet in the ashes, his revolver In his hand, an' a ti& cup half full o' water beside him. His head was . Well, there was a let ter lyin' by him, writ on a label off'E a tomato can, an' Specs was a-leanin' over him. He says: 'God fergive him, poor devil! What do ye make oJ It, Connor?' "I says nothin,' but looked at him. "It like to 'a' broke Miss May's heart when Hirton told her aboul White's death." Connor lapsed into silence. "What became of Specs?" I asked incautiously. "I put rocks over him," said Connor "so the coyotes couldn't dig him up; fer, after all, he was a white man." Uphill Electricity. Do electric currents naturally run up hill? So it would seem from re cent observations at some of th« mountain observatories in France Stated more technically, the discover* is that of two stations on a mountain side the lower is always at a bighei electric potential, so that an earth current flows from below upv»ard Thus the electromotive force betweer Puy-de-Dome and Clermont is suf ficient to maintain a current equal t( that given by 1.7 volts in an ordinarj telegraph line. A curious fact la thai when these uphill earth currents rur east and west they are steady, where as those that run north and south vary greatly in different parts of the day. M. Brunhes, the Puy-de-Domt observer, says that the fact may be stated aB a tendency of negative elec> tricity to fall downward, which maj be objected to as suggesting an un proved analogy with gravity. Appar ently the cause of the phenomenon re mains obscure. Conception of Divinity. How many men in all countries anc all ages have been called atheists, nol because they denied that there exist ed anything beyond the visible anc the finite, or because they declared that the world, such as it was, could be explained without a cause, withoul a purpose, without a God, but ofter because thev differed only from the traditional conception of the Deitj prevalent at the time, and were yearn ing after a higher conception of God than what they had learned in theii childhood.—Max Muller.

Later on there came the photo-mechanical process where the camera was employed tc lay the pattern down on a metal plate and etching fluid took the place of the graver. Inasmuch as camera and acid lack individuality, the difficulty ol identifying the engraver was increased tremendously. There are thousands of photo-engraving estblishments in the country, each one of which is completely* equipped with the apparatus and materials needed in the rqaking of a counterfeit, and yet you can count on the fingers of one hand the cases where the equipment and technical skill of these places have been used illegitimately.

VIRES MIX: TRAINS RUSH TO AID TH1MTY OPERATOR \H "DRY" TOWN C R I A T M COMMOTION WITH MiaSAOl. Conde, 3. D—A lone operator In Cresbard, a town of 200 Inhabitants 50 miles west of here in the center of prohibition South Dakota, thrilled alarms for help the other afternoon throughout the 200-mIle-long Conde division of the Minneapolis & S t Paul railroad. Along the line 10,000 men caught the cry, rushed armed aboard improvised trains wherever they could be found, and within ten hours filled every available track of the Cresbard yards with puffing engines. Dosing operators were roused by such calls as: "Help, for God's sake. The station has been attacked and the agent killed. People of the town have been driven from their homes!" This cry was heard at Conde and Division Superintendent H. E. JoneB hur- Stealthily Approached the Building. riedly made up a train of three cars, called upon all able-bodied citizens to get aboard with guns and started at record speed for the scene. In the meantime the operators along the line, acting on orders, had got busy with the telephones and alarmed the whole countryside. Ky the time the special from Conde pulled onto the siding at Cresbard a band of country people had surrounded the depot five deep, but no one ventured within. At the alarming situation presented Mr. Jones, flanked by picked braves of the waiting rescuers, armed like battleships, stealthily approached the railway building. Peering cautionsly within, the body of the operator was seen reclining at full length upon the floor. * No other person being visible, the committee, after consultation, entered and examined the prostrate man for death wounds. The operator rolled over and sleepily inquired if some one wouldn't give him a drink. He explained that his whisky had run out. That was why he wanted help. The next morning the sobered, operator wired his resignation to the headquarters at Minneapolis. The reply came while the wire was open: "You are thirty hours late." BATS CAUSE BOARDERS' PANIC Scare Dozen Girls, and One Bites Only Male Boarder—Crowd Watches the Combat. Philadelphia.—A swarm of bats invaded the boarding house of Mrs. John Bellam and threw 12 girl boarders into a panic, several of them having fainted before the bats were driven off or killed. William Leyhe, the only male boarder, in his fight against the winged intruders, was bitten on the hand, the bat's teeth sinking into the bone. He was treated at the Pennsylvania hospital. Miss AgneB New, who occupies the third-floor front, was first to discover the bats. They swarmed through her window, flapping their wings and extinguishing the gas. Screaming with terror, the girl tried to reach the door, but was unable to find it. Her cries aroused the other occupants, who ran to her room and opened the door. The bats burst through the opening and flew in the faces of the other 11 girls, who were gathered in the corridor. Tho dozen girls' fhrieks aroused the entire neighborhood. A crowd gathered about the house, while Leyhe, who had come to the rescue, attempted to fight off the intruder*. He succeeded in killing two and driving off all the others but one particularly ferocious animal, which darted about ) him and finally succeeded in biting him. Leyhe disregarded his wound, and after a chase killed the animal, which measured 16 inches from -one wing tip to the other. ; HER ,'\. ADVISED Taking Lydia E.

' • ^ ^ ^ fr%«rtlny of Chippewa Falls, has ,, ( tH|t* a new usaior ths old-fashioned ' %ay barrack* which the modern barn with lis spacious mows nearly crowded out of existence. He uses them for ths field sheltering of pea and barley hay for winter hog feeding- He prefers pasturing or field-feeding his herd on pleasant wante-r days, thereby requiring the brood sows to take their needed exercise. fiach season he puta up a stack of field peas and barley upon some pro- * tected and sunny slope in the hog pasture and at some distance from the pens and sleeping quarters. The sows are given a regular feeding of this mixture each day and spend considerable time in rooting over the straw to get at the grain which easily sheila out and rattles to the bottom of the litter. The straw and grain are perfectly cured and preserved, having been well protected from the weather, and make excellent feed for any class of stock. Such a stack shelter as this breeder uses 1B easily constructed and at a very low cost Four straight poles 8tack Shelterer. from j.20 to 25 feet In length are squared and otherwise made ready for settinjg in the ground. One-inch holes are bored in all the poles, from 12 to 18 Inches apart and from the top down to within five or six feet from the ground. Necessarily these holes have to be bored carefully, the posts set at equal depth In the ground and perfectly plumb. Otherwise roof will only be raised with great difficulty and will not rest even above the stack. The posts are generally set from ten to twelve feet apart thereby allowing the b«Hdtog of a square stack of good site; ' J h e rpof, preferably made of matohett tap^r, j * supported by four 2x4s which rest upon the iron eye bolts' passing through the eye holes. It is* always better to have the voat project a foot or so beyond the corner postil to better'protect the stack from the Weather. Care, however, should be take^;to'keepsthe roof sufficiently light for easy raising. j ' W e e d the Garden. i Begin to .weed the garden as soon as the plants are large enough to tell what they are and keep it up durinj? the eatire • summer, u yOU do not the weeds will crowd out your pet plants and eat up the nourishment that would go toward making the garden beautiful ( Excellent Pasture Crops. There are a number of excellent crops that may be grown to supplement the pastures, but alfalfa, red clover, oats and peas and sweet corn are the most profitable and nutritious of fdrage crops for dairy cows.

HAY IN STACKS FOR Y£ARS Illustration Showing How It Can Be Done Better Than In a Bar*. The pictures in the article show bow to stack hay so it wlU keep bet* ter than in a barn and be (ar sweeter even for three or four years. Grain in the straw may be stacked in the same manner. As long as the air gets underneath it will keep all right, and by stacking aji shown in the sketches of the pictures It will siv#? mi :v\rcr«u Side View. ways keep perfectly dry. The thatch or roof 1B much larger than the base and the water runs off like running off a house. The pillars can be made of wood or stone. They should be 18 inches high, although 12 inches would do. Lay the timbers from pillar to pillar and cover with round poles, and over this put boards or brush. Tramp down the hay solid, and wbile building the stack use poles to prop up the sides. After three or four days when the hay has settled, remove the side props and mount a ladder, and commencing in the eaves, pull out all the hay you can with your hands down to the bottom. Always commence at the top and work to the bottom. Finish with a hand rake, always raking downward. Use straw as straight and long as possible and lay two or three inches thick and evenly. Commence at the eaves and overlap your straw, shingle fashion, as you would boards, only with longer laps. I have found that hay or grain stacked in this way keeps better than in a barn, as it retains its sweetness and is more relished by the animals. This method is used exclusively in England and each farmer there tries to outdo his neighbor in making the largest and best-shaped stack. Over there they make both oblong, square and round stacks. I have seen some stacks of hay and grain from r.C •' End View. 60 to 80 feet high built in this manner and have known them to stand for years In perfect condition. In Yorkshire, Eng., hay is seldom us*ed until it is two or three years old, and a good horseman will never feed his herses new hay, as it may cause heaves and good old hay will not.—A Threapleton. Apple Juice Cistern. The business men of Columbus, 0., have completed a cement cistern with a capacity of 100 barrels which will be filled with apple juice this fall. A pump will be inserted and the liquid will be free to all. Overripe Crimson Clover. A farmer reported the other day the loss of a fine $350 mule as a result of eating crimson clover cut after the blooms had become too mature, says Progressive Farmer. This will make it plain why we have consistently advised against the feeding of overripe crimson clover hay to horses, green sorghum to cattle, or cottonseed meal to hogs. The loss of one animal will overbalance the gain derived from a large quantity of either feed. It is better in such cases to stay on the safe side. Beet Pulp for Fattening. Beet pulp is used extensively in sugar factory districts for fattening hogs, sheep and cattle. The illustration shows the flume which carries the beet pulp from a sugar factory to the point where it is loaded on wagons. Running water in the flume acta as the conducting force. The sugar-beet pulp mixed with alfalfa, makes an invaluable food product for live stock. WHERE THEY LEARN ECONOMY Matron Knew Wfaat She Was About When She Went to Engage MakJ. The manager of the employment' agency was used to hearing women In search of maids ask applicants all sorts of Queer questions, says the New York Tribune, but this matron made him mildly curious. Of 14 girls in turn she had inquired: "Have you worked in a minister's family?" None of them had. "Too bad." said the matron to the manager. "None of these girls will do." "May I ink," said the manager, "why you are anxious to know if these girls have worked in ministers' families'" "Why, the fact is, we're very hard up ]ust now," said the matron, candidly; "I want a girl who knows how to economize, and those who have worked in clergymen's families, I've discovered, have learned that lesson."

Cutfcura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet. A New York friend of Cutlcura writes: "My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the Btateroom and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I don't know what else." No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cutlcura- Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be expected to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngest infant PoUer Drug k Cbmn. Corp..

"Weren't you scared when the dentist put you in that big chair and started all those zizz-zizz-zizz things?" "Oh, not so much." "That was a brave boy. But, surely, you suffered?" "Of course I suffered. But I just kept repeating over and over the golden text we had in Sunday school last Sunday." "The golden text? What was it?" "Why, 'suffer little children to come unto me,' " replied Willie, glibly. "I kept saying that over and over to myself, and the first thing I knew it didn't hurt any more." Weakened by Alcohol. Dr. Bertillon, the eminent French vital statistician, has shown that tuber* culosis is twice as prevalent among the retail liquor dealers of France as amdn"g other shopkeepers.

They are somewhat higher than the dairy farmer has been getting in the past, partly on account of competition and also in regard to the bright outlook of dairy products. On account of the increasing business, we have decided to make our payments on the 15th of the month instead of the 15 and 30th as heretofore, as it will be more convenient for us and the Bank, as it is no more trouble to make out a months pay roll than two weeks. We are in shape to handle any arm unt of milk and our patrons need not fear of overstocking us as we can sell all we make for the next 20 years. If prices Jkeep up we expect to better the prices for March. Arrangements are being made by the officer of the county association ot farmers' clubs for the annual one day institutes and the general two day "round up-' at Howell in Pebru ary. It is suggested that inasmuch as Pinckney has not had one for about eight years, that we get in this year and secure one of the dates. The matter is taken up early as there is considerable to be looked after by the county officers and they want to know where such meetings can be held at an early date. Do we want one here or not? This is the question for every business man to answer for himself and if we should make up our minds to have one here let us make it a hummer. At far as we are concerned we believe it would be a good thing as there are no batter farmers in any section than here and we can make it a success. Let us hear from you.

Samples were taken from a large number of cans and sent to their chemist tor analysis.—Tidings Tha analysis showed that the milk was not up to the standard and as a result, last week Mr. Howe returned to this count, and swore ont warrants tor ten of the patrons of the condensed factory at Howell and three patrons of the Pinckney Creameiy Co. The cases will come on before Justice Roehe of Howell sometime this week. It is the business of tbe state commission to look after this and other food adulterations and no local party or firm had anything to do with the matter.

A grandh^thej-.*haa undertaken to. anawer th* question In the headline in a magazine article. Having had experience, she thinks she knows what she lb talking about It Is her opinion that no girl should marry before she is 25 years old. There never has been and never can be any fixed rule fpr the mating of human beings. Ages ago parents were the jjole arbiters of the marital destinies of their daughters. They gave in wedlock when and where and to whom they pleased, and the daughters had nothing to do with thJ bargain. The matter is one in which there is pretty nearly Independence of thought and action on the part of American girls. Parents may try as they will to shape their daughters' love affairs to conform to their own ideas, but it Is a rare case in which trt*y succeed—and even then success on the part of the parents is not a guarantee ol the girl's happiness. It has been estimated that a woman's chances of marriage begin to diminish at the twenty-fourth year and decline rapidly to the thirtieth year, when they have almost disappeared. The period of greatest expectation Is from 19 to 23. It is between these periods that the majority of women*must make up their inJnds, and they do it from the dictates of the heart oftener than from any other consideration. WILL THE USUAL BLOODY FRAY MARK THI8 H18TORIC DAY AGAIN? DEAN COOLEY'S ADVICE. There Is an Effort Now to Stop the Rush in Which Many Are Annually Injured at the U. of M. The frequent assertion that the soils of the United States are wearing out Is not conceded by Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau of soils, United States department of agriculture. He has prepared a bulletin in which statistics of yield since 1867 are carefully compared, and in whl"h he arrives at the following conclusion: "We are producing more crops per acre than formerly.' This Is undoubtedly due to better and more IntrHigfeht cultivation, "HTWe^aftfl setter systems of rotation of crops and is later?Tears to the intelligent use of fertilizers through measure* of control in the hands of every indlvtaua* ftirtner." Much that has been said cm the subject of exhaustion of Uie soil was alarming and even disheartening. That Prof. Whitney sees no reason for a pessimistic view is reasurring. The bureau of statistics at Washington reports an enormous increase in building operations thrcugnout the country. This is another sure 'ndlcation of the revival of business activity in every direction. When financial stress is felt the work of building 1B one of the first to feel the effects. The Washington statement shows that the value of building permits issued in 100 of the largest cities in the United, States for the year ended July 1, 1909, •was $20,000,000 in excess of that for the same period in 1906, when building •was at high tide. There have been noticeable gains in other directions, but in building the movement appears to be a veritable boom, owing to the demand for increased accommodations. Dr. Stiles, chief government zoologist, has just given advice in a department bulletin for the treatment and eradication of the "book worm" of "lazy" disease so prevalent among the poor whites of the southern states. The disease produces an anaemic condition and an utter disinclination for labor. Judging from the latter symptom, it would seem that the "lazy worm" does not restrict its activities to sections south of Mason and Dixon's line. It is hardly lese majesty to rise up and assert that It has incubated in the municipal blood, in view of the exasperating doiaa* in varioua. movements planned for iftHUdalntata The sultan of Morocco's Dfcpturesqiie Idea of locking the rebellious'filUhogi in a steel cage, strapped to the back of a swaying camel and marched, circus style, through the streets in a free parade, shows an oriental kind of humor hard for the western Blind to appreciate. So is his humorous'idea of punishment with boiling pitch in IL Somebody ough't to remind him that this is sultans' bad day. Dean Cooley met his sophomore classes in the engineering department and gave them a quiet little talk, as one man would talk to another, on the duty they owed to the institution. He said in part: "You are a part of one of the greatest educational institutions on earth, and there is something for you to consider beside your own selfish pleasure. You are one of the university family, look out for the family honor, be careful of the family credit. Have a little pride about your family, and whatever stunt you do, be sure you are doing nothing that you will be ashamed of doing after the excitement of the moment has passed. "Remember the eyes of the entire state of Michigan are upon the university and you, and that it is not pleasant to have yellow stories circulated about your university. Each do your share toward making these stories impossible. The hazing of some years past has been disgraceful." Since the posting of the faculty's ultimatum In regard to the annual class rush at the university, many plans have been submitted by students and instructors to give class rivalry an outlet that will be safe from gore. The most acceptable plan presented is that of Dean Cooley of the engineering department, and it bids fair to take the place of the annual Black Friday disgraces. His plan is to have a pole rush as In previous years. At a sufficient distance from the pole, to prevent the congregation of the defenders, a strong fence should be built to prevent an assault by a massed horde of the attacking party, which in past years has been the most dangerous feature of the rush. The offensive party must obtain the flag within a limited time. Tfie contest is to be held on the afternoon of a day still to be known as "Black Friday," either on the campus or in an adjoining field. The fence shall be a permanent structure upon which It shall be the sole privilege of the victorious party to roost. "I hope a healthy sentiment will be built up around this fence," concludes Dean Cooley. The sophomore class at a meeting pledged itself as a body to allow no more hazing of freshmen until, the day of the Black Friday rush, and to do none thereafter. If the significant glances that passed around as this measure was adopted mean anything, Black Friday will be a memorable day to any freshman who doesn't lock himself in his room on that lay. The day after President Hurley of the student council issued the order that all freshmen should wear the traditional gray caps, there was a land-office business in local clothing stores. Eight hundred of the lids were sold in one day.

Forced out of the big parade during home-coming week in Kalamazoo, which he has made his home practically all of his life, William Nye, a veteran of the civil war with an honorable record, worth more than $50,000, but the city scavenger, grieved himself into despondency and committed suicide by shooting himself through the head. The deed was done at the Nye home and in the presence of the dead man's daughter. William Nye was one of the best known characters in Kalamazoo. Three weeks ago, when it was decided to secure the king for homecoming week, some one proposed Nye. He led in the number of votes received for several days and his defeat was finally brought about by the suppression of his name. Nye recognized that he should not be the king and took no offense, but when he was forced out of the parade on Thursday he took to drinking and had been drinking, it la said, most of the time since. Both Engineers Killed. Engineers of two fast freights on the Detroit-Bay City division of the Michigan Central, both of Detroit, were killed and one fireman, two brakemen and a conductor were injured in a head-on collision in front of the station at Carpenter's, between Lapeer and Columbiavllle, Tuesday Jri&ming. The north-bound freight, with Engineer Albert Welsemiller driving it, pulled up and stopped atthe station at Carpenter's. The southbound train crashed into it and both engines were reduced to a scrap heap. Eight or ten cars were smashed. Engineer Welsemiller was pinned under tb,e wreckage and instantly killed, white Tucker died shortly after being pulled from the debris, with his hands and arms Injured.

The Manton grange has adopted resolutions condemning the^ action ol Fred C. Wetmore relative to the mineral tax bill. The resolution reads In part: "Be It further resolved, that the experience is convincing that professional failures prove poor material to legislate for the Interest of the tolling taxpayer of a great state." To the public at large the Wright machine and 'its simple mechanism has been a hidden mystery. Its very simplicity, has been charged with the mysterious, to the layman mind. Reporters have vied with each other in vain to penetrate the Wright mind and extract from the Wright voice the intimate details of his aeroplane, and particularly his own opinion as to its achievements and future possibilities. What is in the mind of Wilbur Wright and what he himself thinks of his own work has not hitherto been revealed to the public. Inspired by the spirit of the Hudson-Fulton celebration, and by the few who have been closely in touch with him during his almost close confinement on Gover-. nor's island, has opened his mind on the question of aerial'flight and his own accomplishments in this line as never before. "Do you think any of the machines that have been built in Europe are equal to your own aeroplane?" he was asked. "No," with drawn, tense lips, Mr. Wright remarked significantly, with a semi-amused expression on his face. "They have all copied us as much as they could, but as yet they still use twice the power, and even then they are not able to produce results equal to ours." Much surprise was expressed in this country because the Wright machine did not win In the race at Rheims. Mr. Wright's attention was called to this fact, and he was asked why he had not been successful against the other aviators. "If I wanted to build a machine for racing I would build one different from the one which I have here, and—I think I shall probably do so In a few sears," he .remarked. "The type we have now i a not designed for racing purposes. Our machine is designed for general, practical use. It is not a freak machine," emphatically emphasizing the fact that his machine was not of the racing class or built with that view. In view of the recent accidents to Selfridge and Lefebvre, who were killed, Mr. Wright was questioned as to whether his type of machine was not equally unsafe, if not more so, than other aeroplanes, and whether or not the chances which he took were not equally as great as those which cost the lives of other daring aviators. ^No," he answered, In his quiet, effective manner, "the control of our machine is so perfect that unless carelessness or structural defects occur unforeseen, which is carelessness, no accident can happen to our machine. The Selfridge accident was due to the structural defect of the propeller, which should have been foreseen; the Lefebvre accident to unwarranted carelessness." "In view of the universal Interest in your machine, would you give some details as to the structure and mechanism upon which you rely for efficiency and safety of your machine, or for the great efficiency which you claim?" Then followed a series of talks with Mr. Wright—who never has given a detailed explanation of hia aeroplane —in which he revealed all of the crucial points of the Wright machine, the theories upon which he has worked, and he gave this technical and general explanation in a very Bimple and clear way. "Our machine is superior to all others," he said. "The Wright biplane is efficient not only in its economic use of power, but also In its maneuvering qualities. The biplanes of Voisln and Farman are about the same size as ours. It is noticeable, however, that they use double the power and travel at less speed. In flight, the Voisln and Farman are sluggish, slow, and lacking. in precision of movement, while the Wright is the 'true bird,' quick in its action, maneuvering with promptness."

The cook had been called away to a sick sister, and so the newly wed mistress of the house undertook, with the aid of the maid, to get the Sunday luncheon. The little maid, who had been struggling in the kitchen with a coffee mill that would not work, confessed that she had forgotten to wash the lettuce. "Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on with the coffee and I'll do it," said the considerate mistress. "Where do they keep the soap?" Proper Love for Wife. "When a man really loves his wife he ought to combine all his nicest sentiments toward other women into one big sentiment for her.

Secret of Happiness. I have lived to know that the great secret of human happiness is this: Never suffer your energies to stagnate. The old adage of "too many irons in the fire" conveys an untruth —you cannot have too many—poker, tongs and all—keep them going.— Adam Clark. The Chart Peary Made. This Is what Boatswain John Murphy of the Peary ship Roosevelt says: "The commander (Peary) took Cook's two 'huskies' on board and questioned them about where Cook had been. Now an Eskimo knows as much about a chart or a map as a passed mariner, and while they talked they took pencils and showed on the chart just where they had been with Cook. "They say he made a two days' journey toward the north and then camped. At the end of the first day he had cached a heavy gun. At the end of the second day he ordered one of the huskies to go back and get that gun. Dr. Cook waited two days for the man to come up with the gun and then the three men turned westward, and that was aa far north as they ever got. The commander has those marked charts now." FOOD QUESTION Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by a Dyspeptic. It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. "He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and an Boon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a few weekB.

The story opens with the shipwreck of the steamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie, a n American heiress, Lord W l n - thrope, a n Englishman, and T om Blake, a brusque American, were passengers. The three were tossed upon an uninhabited Island a n d were the only o n e s not drowned. Blake, shunned on t h e boat, because of h i s roughnebs, became a hero as preserver of t h e helpless pair. T h e Englishman w a s suing for the hand of Miss Leslie. Wlnthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which h e w a s scored by Blake. A l l three constructed hats to shield themselves from t h e Bun. They then feasted on cocoanuts, t h e only f>rocurable food. M i s s Leslie s h o w e d a iking for Blake, b u t detested h i s roughness. Led b y Blake, they established a home in some cliffs. Blake found a fresh water spring.

Miss Leslie made a dress from the leopard skin. Overhearing a conversation between Blake and Wlnthrope, Miss Leslie became frightened. Wlnthrope became ill with fever. Blake w a s poisoned by a flsh and almost died. Jackals attacked the camp L m t night, but were driven off by Genevieve. Blake constructed a n animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour the trio discovered honey and oysters. Miss Leslie w a s attacked by a poisonous snake. Blake killed It and saved its poison to ktll game. For the second time Wlnthrope w a s attacked by fever. He and Blake disagreed. T h e latter made a strong door for the private compartment of Miss Leslie's c a v e home. A terrible storm raged that night. Wlnthrope stole Into her room, hut she managed to s w i n g her dnnr closed in time. Wlnthrope w a s badly hurt. CHAPTER XX,—Continued. "Oh, quick, Mr. Blake! build a fire! It may be, some hot broth—" 'Too late," muttered Plake. "See here, Wlnthrope, there's no use lying about it. You're going out mighty soon. See if you can't die like a man." "Bie! Gawd, but I can't die—I can't die— Ow! it burns!" He flung up a hand, and sought to tear at his wounds. "Hold hard!" cried Ulake, catching the hand in an iron grip. Something in his touch, or the tone of command, seemed to cower the wretched man into a state of abject submission. "S'elp me, I'll confess!—I'll confess all!" ho babbled. "The stones are sewed in the stomach pad; I 'ad to take 'em hout of their settings, and melt up the gold." He paused, and a cunning smile stole over his distorted features. "Ho, wot a bloomin' lark! Valet plays the gent, an' they never 'as a hlnkling! Mr. Cecil Winthrope, hif you please, an' a 'int. of a title— wot a lark! 'Awkings, me lad, you're a gay 'oaxer! Wot a lark! wot a lark!" His voice shrilled out in quavering appeal: "Don't—don't look at me, miss! I tried to make myself a gentleman; God,.knows I tried! I fought my way up out of the East End—out of that hell—and none ever lifted finger to help me. I educated myself like a scholar—then the stock sharks cheated me of my savings—out of the last penny; and I had to take service. My^Ood! a valet—his grace's valet, Uti I a Bcholar! Do you wonder the 4i*U l o t into me? Do you—" i*a deep voice, firm but strange- JfciBky, broke in upon and silenced Ihe cry of agony.: "There, I guess you've said enough." "Enough—and last night— My God! 1o be such a beast! The devil tempted me—aye, and he's paid me out in my own coin! I'm done for! God ha' mercy.QH me!—God ha" mercy—" Again came the gasping rattle; this time there was no rally, Blake-thrnst himself between Miss Leslie and the crumpled figure. "Get back around the tree," he said harshly. "Wiiat are you going to do?" "That's my business," he replied. He thrust his burning-glass into her hand. "Here; go and build a fire, if you can find any dry stuff." "You're not going to— You'll bury him!" "Yes. Whatever he may have been, he's dead now, poor devil!" "I can't go," she half whispered, "not until—until I've learned— Do you -ncoal n you tpilTae juftJtMtfMriUt*! *?" Ti* -ih« r^" Blake studies a Utile, and tapped the, top of his head. "Nadraj I can say, lt'i loftdotn* of the.br^lnrfup there*" "Do you think that—" she hesitated —"tfeat he had i t T . Again Blake paused to consider. "Well, I'm no alienist. I thought him a softy from the first.' But that was all In line with what he was play* in* on us—British dude. Fooled me, and I'd been chumming with Jimmy Scarbridge—and Jimmy was the straight goods, fresh imported—monocle even—when I first ran up against him. No; this—this Hawkins, if that's his name, had brains all right. Still, he may have been cracked. When folks go dotty, they sometimes get extra 'cute. The best I can think of him is that losing his savings may have made him slip a cog, and then the scare over the way we landed here and his spellB of fever probably hurried up the softening." "Then you believe his story?" "Yes, I do. But If you'll go, please." "One thing more—I must know now! Do you remember the day when you set up the signal and you— you quarreled with him?" Blake reddened and dropped his gaze. "Did he go and tell you that? The sneak!" "If you please, let us say nothing more about him. But would you care "I Wish He Hadn't Rushed Off So Suddenly." to tell me what you meant—what you said then?" Rlake's flush deepened; but he raised his head, and faced her squarely as he answered: "No; I'm not going to repeat any dead man's talk; and as for what I said, this isn't the time or place to say anything in that line—now that we're alone. Understand?" "I'm afraid I do not, Mr. Blake. Please explain." "Don't ask me, Miss Jenny. I can't tell you now. You'll have to wait till we get aboard ship. We'll catch a steamer before long. 'Tisn't every one of them that goes ashore In these blows." "Why did you build that door? , Did you suspect—" She glanced down at the huddled figure between them. Blake frowned and hesitated; then burst out almost angrily: "Well, you know now he was a sneak; so it's not blabbing to tell that much—I knew he was before; and it's never safe to trust a sneak." "Thank you!" she said, and she lurned away quickly that she might not again look at the prostrate figure. GHAPTER X X I . Wreckage and Salvage. LL the wood in the cleft was sodden from the fierce downpour that, had accompanied the cyclone; all the cleft bottom other than the bare ledges was a bed of mud; everything without the tree-cave had been either blown away or heaped with broken boughs and mud-spattered rubbish. But the girl had far too much to think about to feel any concern over the mere damage and destruction of things. It was rather a relief to find something that called for work. Not being able to find dry fuel she gathered a quantity of the least sodden of the twigs and branches and spread them out on a ledge in the clear sunshine. While her firewood was drying she scraped away the mud and litter heaped upon her rude hearth. She then began a search for lost articles. When she dug out the pottery ware she found her favorite stew pot and one of the platters In fragments. The drying-frames for the meat had been blown away, and so had the- antelope and hyena skins. Catching sight of a bit of' white down among the bamboos, she went to it, and w%*~-wrt aMfttto -surprised to see the tattered remnant of her dock skirt U had evidently b*»en tpxn from the signal a^aff by the first gust of the cyclone^ whirled down irU*> the cleft by some flaw or eddy In the wind, and wadded so tlgfctly into th© heart of the thick dump of items thai. sJLtha fury of the storm bad failed to dislodge it. Its recovery seemed to the girl a special providence; for of course they must keep up a signal on the cliff. Having started her ftre and set on a stew, she bunted out her sewing materials from their crevice in the cave and began mending the slits in the torn flag. While she worked she sat on a shaded ledge, her bare feet toasting in the sun, and her soggy, mud Bmeared moccasins drying within reach. When Blake appeared, the moccasins were still where she had first set them, but the little pink feet were safely tucked up beneath the tattered flag. Fortunately, the sight of the white cloth prevented Blake from noticing the moccasins. "Hello!" he exclaimed. "What's that?—the flag? Say, that's luck! I'll break out a bamboo right off. jOld staff's carried clean away." "Mr. Bla&e—just a moment, please. What have you done with—with it?" Blake jerked his thumb upward- "You have carried him up on the cliff?" "Best place I could think of. No animals—and I piled stones over— But, I say, look here." He drew out a piece. of wadded cloth, marked off into little squares by crossing lines of stitches. One of the squares near the edge had been ripped open. Blake thurst in his finger and worked out an emerald the size of a large pea. "O-h-h!" cried Miss Leslie, as he held the glittering gem out to her in his rough palm. He drew It back and carefully thrust it again Into Its pocket. "That's one," he said. "There's another in every square of this innocent, harmless rag—dozens of themr He must have made a clean sweep of the duke's—or, more like, the duchess' jewels. Now, if you please, I want you to sew this np tight again, and—" "I cannot—I cannot touch It!" she cried. "Say, I didn't mean to— It was confounded stupid of me," mumbled Blake. "Won't you excuse me?" "Of course! It was only the—the thought that—" "No wonder. I always am a fool when it cornea to ladies. I'll fix the thing all right." Catching up the nearest small pot, he crammed the quilted cloth down' within It, and filled it to the brim with sticky mud. "There! Guess nobody's going to run off with a jug of mud—and it won't hurt the stones till we get a chance to look up the owner. He won't be hard to find—English duke minus a pint of first-class sparklers! Will you mind its setting in the cave after things are fixed up?" "No; not as it is." He nodded soberly. "All right, then. Now I'll go for the new flagstaff. You might set out breakfast." She nodded in turn, and when he came back from the bamboos with the largest of the great canes on his shoulder, his breakfast was waiting for him. She set it before him, and turned to go again to her sewing. "Hold on," he said. 'This won't do. You've got to eat your share." "I do not—I am not hungry." 'That's no matter. Here!" He forced upon her a bowl of hot broth, and she drank it because Bhe cotild not resist his rough kindness. "Good! Now a piece of meat," he said. "Please, Mr. Blake!" she protested. "Yes, you must!" She took a bite, and sought to eat; but there was such a lump in her throat that she could not swallow. The tears gushed into her eyes, and she began to weep. Blake's closeset lips relaxed, and he nodded. "That's it; let It run out. You're overwrought. There's nothing like a good cry to ease off a woman's nerves —and I guess ladies aren't much different from women when it comes to such things." "But I—I want to get the flag mended!" she aobbed. "All right, all right; plenty of time!" he soothed. "I'm going to see how things look down the cleft." He bolted the last of his meat, and at once left, her alone to cry herself back to calmness over the stitching of the signal. His first concern was for the barricade. As he had feared, he found that it had been blown to pieces., The greater part of the thorn branches which he had gathered with so much labor were scattered to the four corners of the earth. He stood staging at the wreckage in glum silence; ^ut he did not swear, as he would have done the week before. Presently his face cleared, and he began to whistle in a plaintive minor key. He was thinking of how she had looked when she darted out of the ttee at hiB call —of her concern for him. When he was so angered at Wlnthrope, she had called him Tom! After a time ho started on, picking his way oveit|aW|ft*jfant *W»» bar: ricade, wlthoWV fatter in hi»,whjs> tllng. The dfttug* of rain hid poured dpwn the cleft in a torrent, tearing swa^Hhe &>t-matt«d foil,and laying bare the race* la the. channel of -the sprmv-Tili. But aside faann an occasional boggy hole, the water had drained away. ' At the foot, about the swollen pool, was a wide stretch of rubbish and mud. He worked his way around the edge, and came out on the plain, where the aandy soil was all the Arm er for Its drenching. He swung away at a lively clip. The air was fresh and pure after the storm, and a slight breeze tempered the sun-rays. He kept on along the cliff until he turned the point. It was not altogether advisable to bathe at this time of day; but he had been caught out by the'cyclone In a corner of the swamfc across the river, where the soil was' of clay. Only hiB anxiety for Miss Leslie had enabled him to fight his way out of the all but impassable morass which the storm deluge had made of the half-dry swamp. At dawn he had reached the river, and swam across, reckless of the crocodiles. The turbid water of the stream had rid him of only part of bis accumulated slime and ooze. So now he washed out bis tattered garments as well as be could without soap, and while they were drying on the sunscorched rocks, swam about lu the clear, tonic sea-water, quite as reckless of the sharks as he had been of the ugly crocodiles in the river. For all this, he was back at the baobab before Miss Leslie had stitched up the last slit in the torn flag. She looked up at him, with a brave attempt at a smile. "I am afraid I'm not much of a needle-woman," she sighed. "Look at those stitches!" "Don't fret. They'll hold all right, and that's what we want," he reassured her. "Give it me, now. I've got to get It up, and hurry back for a nap. No sleep last night—I was out beyond the river, in the swamp—and to-night I'll have to go on watch. The barrl cade is down." "Oh, that Is too bad! Couldn't I take a turn on watch?" Blake shook his head. "No; 111 sleep to-day, and work rebuilding the barricade to-night. Toward morning I might build up the fire, and take a nap." He canght up the flag and its new staff, and swung away through the cleft. He returned much sooner than Miss LeBlie expected, and at once began to throw up a small lean-to of bamboos over a ledge at the cliff foot, behind the baobab. The girl thought he was making himself a hut, in place of the canopy under which he had slept be fore the storm, which, like Winthrope's, had been carried away. But when he stopped work, he laconically informed her that all she had to do to complete her new house was to dry some leaves. "But I thought it was for yourself!" she protested. "I will sleep inside the tree." "Doc Blake says no!" he rejoined— "not till it's dried out." She glanced at his fact, and replied, Without a moment's hesitancy: "Very well. I will do what you think best." "That's good," he said, and went at once to lie down for his much needed sleep. He awoke just soon enough before dark to see the results of her hard day's labor. All the provisions stored in the tree had been brought out to dry, and a great stack of fuel, ready for burning, was piled up against the baobab; while all about the tree the rubbish had been neatly gathered together in heaps. Blake looked his admiration for her industry. But then his forehead wrinkled. "You oughtn't to ve done so much," he admonished. "I'll show you I can tote fair!" she rejoined. During the afternoon she had recalled to mind that odd expression of a southern girl chum, and had been waiting her opportunity to banter him with it. He stared at her open-^yed, and laughed. "Say, Miss .lenny, you'd better look out. You'll be speaking American, first thing!" Thereupon, they fell to chatting like children out of school, each hap py to be able to forget for the moment that broken figure up oa the cliff to; and the haunting fear of what another day might bring to them. When they had eaten their meal, both with keen appetites, Blakt sprang up, with a curt "Good-night!" and swung off down the cleft. Thi girl looked after him with a lingerlnf smile. "I wish he hadn't rushed off so suddenly," she murmured. "I was just, going to thank, him for—for everything!" The color swept over her face in * deep blush, and she darted aroun4 tc her tiny hut as though some one might have overheard her whisper. Yet, after1 all. site had nald nothing; or, at least, she had merely said "everything." (TO BZ: CONTINUED.)

The Worlds fair held at Fow l e m l l t last week was the usual big success and ibis year was even bettor attended than before, the gate receipts being many dollars ahead of last year. The manage spare no paint for the comfort and entertainment of the patrons and their patrons oome from the entire county, Ingham county coming in for a large part also. The different exhibits were well represented. There was considerable fruit and vegetables of a fine quality. Among the stock, Holstein oattle and coarse wool sheep predominated. There were also some very fine driving teams and single drivers. There was quite a showing of farm implements, engines, cream separators etc., and of course the farmer of today is much interested in these. Besides the usual rnn ct free entertainments giyen at these fairs, the ball names proved the most interesting and helped largely in drawing the crowd. Taking it altogether the management have every reason to be congratulated. The danger signal which some disgruntled parties tried to spring that Fowlerville was quarantined on account of small pox *nd diptheria came too late to cause the disaster to tte association they had hoped for. Although close to the Ime ol a 'wet1 tounty there was very little it any drunkwness and it was just is well tor the officers were prepared to look after that especial difficulty. However they h;td little to do and there was no quarreling but all paased off in a v«ry pleasing manner 'o the satisfaction of all. Organisation !ft Building Panama Canal.

President Xaft was the man who gave this project the title of the "greatest const motive work" and indeed it ia a fitting term when one makes a study of what has been done since the the United States took it up and what is actually being done today. I t is useless to compare what has thus far been accomplished with the results obtained under the French regime. The contrast is really too great for comparison. The operations of the French were like obilds play contrasted with what American humanity and American mechanism are doing today. One may go the length of the great ditch, and see the steam shovels tearing a hole through the Oulebra hills and dredges sucking out' the bottom of the canual, doing work which is beyond the possibility of hand labor. But what is of intense human interest is the creation of a model comunity out of a plague spot aud a breeding place for revolutions. There are the towns with their model homes and buildings, their improved streets, efficient sewerage, with public parks and halls for the people where but a few years ago were settlements unfit for humanity to occupy. The civilizing of the Panujna Zone in itself has been a great "construction work" but in this case as iu the engineering features the success can all be traced back to organization.—Day Alleu Wiliey, in The Book-keeper for October. dubacribetor tte Plaekst?

Scientists are divided as to its origin, as no one has ever seen the shrub or vujq.pfl which it grows, and it is never found save when the bosom of the deep has been rent by a hard storm, when the sea-beans, cast forth iron some mysterious depth, are found scattered along the beach, derelicts of the tide, fthere are numerous varieties, large and small, and some are very rare, especially the large liver bean, and the babded bean. The savage tribes which inhabit the South Seas regard them as almost sacred, and look upon the lucky possessor of one of the rare varieties as particularly favored by the gods. Dusky belles, having in their possession these rare products of the deep, will fight fox their treasure against all comers, as they believe that the sea-bean gives them unusual power, especially in love, and that any man on whom their affections are set, must yield to their charms if they but touch him with the lucky bean. One touch of the bean binds their lov»a to them forever. Mr. Leak, manager of the county exhibit cars from California, is the fortunate possessor of a rare specimen which has a thrilling history whicl would seem to prove the superstition of the savages of the South Sea Islands. It was given to him by a sailor friend, who was wrecked in a mighty storm whici swept the tropical seas. The sailor, unconscious and nearly dead, was washed ashore on an island, and when he recov ered his senses he found himself sur rounded by a crowd of savage men ars women. They were cannibals, and hit fate would undoubtedly have been a horrible one, but suddenly a native saw grasped in the sailor's hand, one of tht rarest of the sea-beans.

"But. NetUnJfjlou do»* think; J/n*, wortfe^Faltiatr4£Ufmf*uM I don't know^Bfcat wnatMto «o aftoi* " , " the man 0|^£fmarfer. "You aref worth waiting for, Jim.* was the soft answer. "1 believe in you a*d like you—better than anybody I "ever knew; but, Jim, you know you are alow J' 'Wes. there -seems to be a general agreement on that; but you wait two years, Nettle, and I'll go out into the southwest and make a bunch of money and come back and marry you. In two yeaxa—" "But how are you going to make this bunch of money?" she asked, with aweet skepticism. "Oh, the southwest, you know. They're rushers out there. I'll hustle." Nettie was silent for a moment. It is possible that she was trying to conjure to her brain a picture of big Jim Quest In the act of hustling. "Yes, dear," whispered Jim; "III think of you always out there while I'm banging about, piling up dollars." And so it came about that Jim gritted his teeth at the southwest, vowing to manhandle the same out of a competence for two. After many days he strolled over into Mexico and discovered Corazel, which was concealed like a yellowbrown chameleon on the yellow-brown sand. The day was shaking down h*;r shadows when Jim Quest came and the little people were awake. Because he was a-hungered and very hot and weary, the people ministered unto him—brought him milk and choice portions of goats, fragrant bouquets of red wine and coffee black. One lithe-fingered, marvel-eyed maidon rolled cigarettes for him, as you would imagine Mother Nature would make roses if she set about doing a half-dozen blossoms a minute. And another girl—so wondrous that Jim thought she must be a mirage at the edge of the sunset, until he heard her voice—swung a hammock for him at the. window of the house. *t knew it—I sure knew it," murmurtd Jim. "If you keep on going, you're bound to find something to do. I think I am going to like this." It transpired that he was in the bouse of Quesada, to whom all Corazel bowed. A very old Spaniard was the senor, with some riches, caprices, venoms and affections. When the last century was in its high noon, Quesada bad come over from Spain into Mexico. He had found silver,, and it was a stately tradition in Corazel and the province that the old man had a paper which pointed out the mouth of the Lost Lode, a tooth of almost solid silver, known to be somewhere among the Diablo peaks, though lost for dec ades. Senor .Quesada also possessed two daughters: Magdalena, who swung Jim's hammock, and * Whose beauty would have startled Madrid; and Juanita, the little sister, who loved to roll Jim's cigarettes and serve in the shadows. Quesada and his family treated the j * k n n w vou are. American with great deference, until w ? 0 f t - l h n o t h o r Hidft o f s u n s p t > Jim began to believe that he was a Messiah long expected. Without stirring from his hammock, he could learn Spanish. There was infinite peace in the prospect of the wilderness of mountains to the south and east. Plainly Corazel was his destiny; for, as he had proved, there were no fortunes to be made behind. Jim filled some great need and had not the heart to depart. Weeks elapsed and his Spanish permitted him to learn the manner of his service. Senor Quesada, dim of mind and dismantled of body, bent over the yotdB»'man's hammock one morning and bade him follow. They mounted horses in silence and. rode out into the tinted mountains together, where the'dWs, Spaniard showed him his secret silver mine filled with wealth untold. Nov. Just here the plot bears down. Jow Oosta coveted not only the possession* «of Quesada. including the mkfr to the Lost Lode, but he had looked upon the elder daughter, Magdalena,- and ridden away with a star in li!| eye*. In thef faying brain of the old Spaniard, the length and breadth and .thickness. o£ our Jim were adjusted tc^a^deiifcti. He %*• to act as a mcfral •btce'15 the existing deffj\ dVrs of.

Bot, alts, days and weeks of unvarying sunlight and eternal stars & • teallim lato a vague, B. Lijpplncott Co.) ' ' 'i 1 mythical story. The morning ride to the Lotft Lode, the a r d o f of the toil of defense, and ev.en the existence of Jose Costa, partook at laat of tn© hush of dream-stuff. But 'the wines of Quesada were apt dreamtguff, nor the eyes of Magdalena, nor the memory o | Nettie In the blowing campus—Nettle, to whom he surely must write presently—nor the smiles of Juanita lfdm the shadows, as she poured hla wines and toyed with h^r miracles of cigarettes. The serenity drew on and on. Then came the morning that Senor Quesada screamed. The Spaniard was sitting upright in the bed from which he had not moved since Jim placed him there, after the ride from the Lode. Just now, as the American answered the call, the, vacant eyeB rekindled. The daughters drew back into the midst of the foliage of the court. Quesada picked at his throat, and a paper shook in his hands. "Listen, big man," came harshly from the gray visage. "All this is yours—only kill Jose Costa when he conies, and you marry my daughter, Magda—" "But—" Jim began. The old man fell back and heard, nor was heard again. Death crept upon him from beneath and silently— as a spring tills its basin in a rock. From the paper which made him rich, Jim glanced out into the court where the fountain tinkled. He met the eyes of Magdalena thefe. Somehow, he thougnt dDout that breezy night in the campus, and how Nettie's eyes were lit. Presently he dropped into his hammock, and his mind played with the puzzle, until slumber drew on apace. When he awoke he wrote to Nettie. Here is part: I've got a world of money In a silver mint', but 1 don't ««•«? how I can keep I t Tlie oKI man who k>rt it to me wasn't ri^ht upporurily. ami I think I'll negotate the stuff and turn it over to t h e daughters. Sit tight, little girl; I'll get a-hohl of another fortune somewhere. Don't forget that I'll happen In upon you one of these Sundays with a preacher and a rouptlng-pln; also finances for two. I've been thinking about you every minute. Yours until life's 3Unset. JIM. After this heavy effort, Jim meditated a long time. The paper covering the possessions of Quesada was made out to him, so he couldn't turn it over to the daughters Just as it was. He must go to Amadillo and sell the Lode, dividing the proceeds between the Bisters Quesada. He wished that the old man hadn't gone crazy at the last, fie didn't see how he could very well reimburse himself for his services as the chief of staff of Corazel's defenders, at the expense of the girls. It would be holding out on the defenseless. But there was no need to hurry. The days were very hot for travel, and so he put off his journey to Amadillo. He was vaguely sorry to keep Nettie waiting. Her answer crime at last. Here, in full, is the intelligence it bore: Why, you donr old Delayer, I'm married and have a baby. Nobody but Evangeline could wait forever without a n y help from the postal service. I don't mind telling you, Jim (If you'll burn this letter), that I might have wafted a bit lontffr, except that there Is no redemption for a woman when she begins to reflect the glow of "life's sunset." It Isn't mean tn toll you that I'm happy, because Jlra Quest couldn't help N E T T I E HOLDING. Jim drew out. his match box, scratched a Vesuvlan, and dutifully ignited the letter. "It's a fact," he reflected. "I suppose I should have written to her. After all, Jerry Holding is a good fellow." Magdalena came with broom and dust-pan and swept up the charred paper from the floor. How simple and restful it would be now, with Nettie dead to him, to carry out the wishes of Senor Quesada! What a gorgeous creature Magdalena was! The next day he &et out upon his journey. Word that the Lost Lode had been found startled the sleepy city. An expert and a representative of capital accompanied Jim back to the mountain treasure. All that Quesada had dreamed was true. With a sum of money that, would cause certain; men to turn a foe to their race, Jim rode into Corazel one Jeweled dawn after an absence of four daysl It was right good to be home again. The natives gathered about his pony near the edge of the village, and It was gradually borne to Jim that Jose Costa, bandit and son of a bandit^ h^d descended while he was away, and that Magdalena was gone. "Do you mean that you allowed that robfjer to come in and loot the town of its lady?" Jim questioned reproachfully. Spanish was of course being spoken. "But, Senor Jim," they told him breathlessly, "Senor Jose did not enter Corazel., He remained with his men out on the mesa and "whistled. It waa In the dusk, and long after he had ridden awar we found that, Senoiita Magdalen* waa gone, witb her entire toraal." "Huh—'toraal?'" Jhn repeated, dully. Hla little Spanish dictionary gave light In thvword "trousseau." "I'm afraid I should hare done no better than you did, neighbor*/' he declared at length, spurring on toward the caaa of the late Senor Queaada. "I guess 1*11 have to go dowa deeper into Mexico." he muttered. "Coratel is getting too heady and tumultuous for me." Some one waa standing In the doorway of the Quesada house—a figure with which his mind had grown unfamiliar in the late furious daya. Since the old Spaniard died, this figure had kept to the farthest shadows. Because there waa no other, strange, shy little Juanita came forth to welcome him. She ran to get him wine, aa she used to, and swung his hammock In the coolest shadow, giving commands to the servants meanwhile. "It's a terribly hot morning, and I've ridden long, cara mio," he said at last, "but if I put it off until next Sunday, some earthquake or volcanic visitation wiU get you fintt. Won't you please go to church with me?" That night they stood together In the moonlit court. Through the gate of the patio they could see the southern mountains, white like the castles of Spain. "There's only one cloud tn the world ahead," Jim said softly. "I've got to find that interesting bandit—" "But you would not kill poor Magdalena's husband?" Juanita implored. "Gracious, no!" said Jim; "but half of all this money belongs to Magdalena." NOT A FAW WeSTIOIt1 Carries His Own Calls. "Want to have a call?" Inquired David Mills, proprietor of the Hotel Mills, as the old traveling man gathered up his grips and started to the elevator. "Nope," replied the guest. "I quit leavin' calls at hotels some 20 years ago. I found that it was a lot handier and a lot more certain to carry my own calls. Lookee here!" He unfastened a large grip and pulled out a shining 65-cent alarm clock. "That beats depending on any night clerk or telephone girl to call you at the right time," says he. "There's another advantage in carrying my own calls," he added, "and that Is that if I happen to change my mind about getting up in the morning I can go on to Bleep. Most of the hotels call you on the 'phone nowadays, you know, and they keep on a-rlngin' until you get out of bed and answer the 'phone. Then you can't sleep any more. It's a blamed nuisance."— Cleveland Plain Dealer. World's Foremost Empire. The president's journey will cover 13,000 miles, all under one flag. It was an Englishman who after traveling from New York to St. Louis was asked in the latter city if he was going west. "Heavens, what a country! Here I am, a thousand miles from the sea, and I'm asked if I'm going west!" It was an American, who, alighting in San Francisco from a trip across tho continent, grasped his friend's hand at the station and exclaimed with pride: "What an empire, whero a man, though moving all the time, can be 25 hours late on a railroad train!" It is an empire, and powerful as vast. Baby's "High Treason." A little five-year-old girl was arrested Recently for an "act of high treason" at Brad, In Transylvania, for having worn a tri-colored hair ribbon and sash—the national colors of Roumania. The child was out walking with her nurse when a policeman took her into custody. She was brought before a magistrate, who said by wearing the Roumanian colors the child was guilty of inciting the populace against the Hungarian state. Her father was fined $20, sentenced to five days' imprisonment and dismissed from his post in the civil service, and the mother and the nurse who had tied on the offending sash and ribbon were also fined and imprisoned. Clever "Holdup" Trick. A "Koepenick" trick was successfully carried out in a coffee house in Budapest one night recently. About 20 persons were gambling whon the place was surrounded by 11 men, who entered the room with loaded revolvers. The leader Bhouted; "No one move; hands up!" and he then informed the coffee house keeper that they were detectives, and that all the money in the room would be confiscated. Two of the band then went round, took the names of the players, and relieved them of the money in their pocket-books, as well as that on the table. Subsequently it turned out that the police knew nothing of the matter. His Motive. "That old villain has gone and married his cook. I wonder at it, for her cooking is miserable." B.—That's all right.

"About two years ago I was troubled with my head being seal}. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of the hospital possibly two monthB when I first noticed the loss of hair, my scalp being1 still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush i t oft my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb it.

HOW TO KEEP RATS AWAY *ractieal Method of Preventing Rodents from Getting into Water by I Concrete Curbing. A very practical Idea for preventing •ats from working under well platforms and around the curbing, in which case they foul the water more >r less, Is to surround the curbing; tflth concrete to a thickness'of fr6m our to six inches. This is done by tigging down the Bide of the curbing with' a tile spade and then filling In vlth concrete. A mixture-*of one part «tt*J Concrete Curb. :ement, three parts sand, and six parts broken tile or rock Is very satisfactory for this purpose. The conirete should extend down the sides of ihe well at least three feet. It is also i good plan if the nell is on level pound to extend the concrete six inches or a foot above the surface and then grade around the same.

To facilitate the use of the shovel, the opening into the crib is closed for a space of two feet, either in the middle or at each end. At these closed places these will be no corn upon the floor of the box, so it will be easy to shovel out the corn. SET ASPARAGUS AND RHUBARB In October and November Is Best Time to 8et Out These. Hardy Plants. All hardy plants that commence growth as soon as frost is out of the ground should be set out In the fall. The best time in the middle Atlantic states 1B from October 10 to November 20. If set out later than this period they should be covered with a little long stable manure or leaves to prevent injury from deep freezing. Rhubarb and asparagus plants, whether young or old, begin to develop buds which form the stalks just as soon as the weather turns mild in the spring. As soon as the buds develop there is a corresponding growth of rootlets. When the plants are set out in the fall the earth is settled about the plants and root and top growth starts early in spring, frequently as early as the last week in March. Fallplanted roots not only make an early growth, but they become so firmly established In their new home as to be better able to resist the dry, hot days of the following summer. Hardy shrubs, deciduous trees, also apple, pear and plum trees, blackberry, raspberry and currant bushes should always be set out in the fall if it is possible to obtain the trees and bushes. If planted in spring they should be set out just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the ground is dry enough to handle. This work should not be commenced until the leaves fall—that is, not before the tenth of October.

NO BLUFF. • ' ' • - * * ' " ' ' " ' ' Admiral Evans Says Our Navy la Best In the World, "Fighting Bob" Evans declared that Representative l^ndls of Indiana, who says the American navy 1» a bluff, doesn't know what he. is talking about. "Mr. Landis," said the admiral grimly, "makes the, mistake of a lot of gentlemen of his profession—that of talking about things of which he knows nothing. Of course, we need a merchant marine, but this talk about the navy being a 'bluff is all d rot. "We are weak in auxiliaries, no doubt. But we've the finest navy In the whole world. And anyone who says the men. the boys who do the work, are inefficient, is talking rot. "Did the men on the Atlantic fleet appear like landlubbers? I wasn't with them during the Asiatic crulBe, but I heard they struck' two or three typhoons over there and the battleships came out all right. Who says these men are landlubbers, untrained in the sea, and all that sort of rot? We make men In the navy. "While all this talk about our weak merchant marine is being noised about, it shouldn't be forgotten that we have the finest coast merchant marine in the world. We need a foreign merchant marine as well. "Two things, In my opinion, have combined to stunt the growth of an American merchant marine. First, the absurdity of congress back. In the sixties in refusing to take back Into the service those ships which during the war were 'whitewashed,' or adopted a foreign flag during the struggle. Then, second, the fact that steamship stocks and bonds don't return the same income as the railroad securities. "The days are past when the American Jackie has his fingers full of tar and bis head wet with slush. The American sailor nowadays is a mechanic, a specialist. Two days at sea is generally enough to give the greenest landlubber his sea legs. This talk of sailors being born and not made is rot. Whoever heard of a 'born' 12- inch gun pointer? "There have been several magazines lately that apparently fill valuable space with absurd rot about the ineffectiveness of the American navy. I noticed one recently which prates about 'born' and 'made' seamen and labels our sailors as 'agriculturists' in presenting his plea for a ahip subsidy. "We want a merchant marine and need one, but don't anybody make the mistake of libeling our navy as a 'bluff.'" * THE MARKETS. ffa??*1,01'^*"1*—Oryfed at«ers. 15.50 1 ?o'o : i i ! ^ ! a n d h e , f e r « . 1.000 to heifers that are fat, 800 to 1,000, $4® t'Jt' K$naS>S 8 ^ e r s . , a ^ d l i f e r s that are fat, 600 to 700. $3.50@3.76; choice fat cows, 14; good fat cows, *3.&&©3.75; common cows, $2.60fci3; cannera. $1.75 fl\ choice heavy bulls. $3.50ra>4; fair l?n £°lLd , , b o l o . 2 n a e : b u i l 8 - 13.25^3.50; c s c k , bulls, | 3 ; choice feeding steera 8 ° ° t 0 1.000.

The great crops of 1909 are making tbemselves" felt ft'^lght congestion at home points, in upward revision of estimates of the mon^y value of the year.'s fuxni pxodjacts a»d in a quickening of the pulse of industry and trade. That they will bring -the country, n year of unusual prosperity is doubted by nobody. Next year or tl» year after the crops may not be so abundant, but there is never a total crop failure. Even In the drought of 19,01, the short corn crop bad its compensation in an immense yield of wheat Diversified farming and Improved cultivation lessen the probabilities of failure in any considerable percentage of the crops, The increasing yields acd the growing average of prices are makink affluent the landowners and the thrifty farmers wi>o a few years ago had cause to complain of poverty. The improving comforts cu rural life and the great financial independence are broadening the intelligence of the farmers and the growing value of the lands is building up a land-owning aristocracy in the west that is gaining in political, social and economic influence. Theirs is an influence of conservatism. It may be Impossible for the department of agriculture at Washington o! any other human power to succeed in every attempt to cause two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. But there is no doubt of the efficient work done by the department in stimulating crop growing wherever possible Now the experts of tliat branch of the government are turning attention to opportunities in the Panama canal zone, which is under American jurisdiction. It is believed enough fruit and vegetables, Including those of both the temperate and trjpical climates, can be produced to meet the requirements in this direction of the 55,000 persons now residing on the zone. If this can be done a fresh triumph will be scored for the department and important economic results will follow. And ah that will be in line with the practical ideas, whijh govern the department of agriculture. -nr Manila has been celebrating the eleventh anniversary of the capture of the city by American troops.

PEARY REFUTES THE CLAIMS OF ISSUES LONG PROMISED STATEMENT IN NORTH POLE DISPUTE GIVES STORY OF THE ESKIMOS The Statement 1« Signed by Peary, Bartlett, McMillan, Borup and Henson of the Roosevelt Party—Eskimo Boys Closely Questioned by All. (Entered according to Act of Congress, In the year 190», by the Peary Arctic Club, in the office of Die Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.) New York, Oct. 12. — The following statement of Commander Robert E. Peary, which he submitted, together with the accompanying map, to the Peary Arctic club in support of his contention that Dr. Cook did not reach the north pole, is now made public for the first time. The statement and map have been copyrighted by the Peary Arctic club. INTRODUCTION BY PEARY. Some of my reasons for saying that Dr. Cook did not go to the north pole will be" understood by those who read the following statements of the two Eskimo boys who went with him, and who told me and others of niy party where he did go. Several Eskimos who started with Dr. Cook from Anoratok in February, 1908, were at Etah when I arrived there in August, 1908. They told me that Dr. Cook had with him, after they left, two Eskimo boys, or young men, two sledges and some twenty dogs. The boys were I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. 1 had known them from their childhood. One was about eighteen and the other about nineteen years of age. On my return from Cape Sheridan and at the very first settlement I touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in August, 1901), and nine days before reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me, in a general way, where Dr. Cook had been; that he hud wintered in Jonos Sound, and that he had told the white men at Etah that he had been a long way north, but that the boys who were with him, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, said that this was not so. The Eskimos laughed at Dr. Cook's story. On reaching Etah, I talked with the Eskimos there and with the two boys and asked them to describe Dr. Cook's journey to members of my party and myself. This they did in the manner stated below. •((Signed) R. E, PEARY. Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett, McMillan, Borup and Henson, In Re. gard to Testimony of Cook's Two Eskimo Boys. The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied Dr. Cook while* he was away from Anoratok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned separately and independently, and were corroborated by Panikpah, the father of one of them (I-took-a-shoo), who was personally familiar with the first third and the last third of their journey, and who said that the route for the remaining third, as shown by them, was as described to him by his son after his return with Dr. Cook. To go more into details: One of the boys was called in, and, with a chart on the table before him, was asked to show where he had gone with Dr. Cook. This he did, pointing out with his finger on the map, but not making any marks upon it. As he went out, the other boy came in and was asked to show where he had gone with Dr. Cook. This he did, also without making any marks, and indicated the same route 8nd the same details as did the first, boy. When he was through, Panikpah, the father of I-took-a-shoo, a very intelligent man, who was in the party of Eskimos that came back from Dr. Cook from the northern end of Nansen's strait, who is familiar as a hunter with the Jones Sound region, and who has been in Commander Peary's various expeditions for some fifteen years, came in and indicated the same localities and details as the two boys. Then the first boy was brought in again, and with a pencil he traced on the map their route, members of our party writing upon the chart where according to the boy's statement, they had killed deer, bear, some of their dogs, seal, walrus and musk oxen. The second boy was then called In and the two went over the chart together, the second boy suggesting gome changes as noted hereafter. During the taking of this testimony, MAP SHOWING WHAT PEARY CUIMS I * R W T t TRAVELED | Y D|t CMJK i * ir'i. '. V..•,<•-' it developed that Dr. Cook had told these boys, as he told Mr. Whitney and Hilly Pritchard, the cabin boy, that they must not trll Commander Peary or any of us anything about their journey, and the boys stated Dr. Cook had threatened them if they should tell anything. The narrative of these Eskimos is as follows: They, with Dr. Cook, Francke and nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok, crossed Smith's Sound to Cape Sabine, slept in Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor, then went through Rice strait to Huchanan bay. After a few marches Francke and three Eskimos returned to Anoratok. ] )r. Cook, with the others, then proceeded up Flagler bay, a branch of Buchanan bay, and crossed Ellesmere Land through the valley pass at the head of Flagler bay, indicated by Commander Peary in 1808, and utilized by Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of Sverdrup's "Bay Fiord" on the west side of Ellesmere Land, Their route then lay out. through this fiord, thence north through Sverdrup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nansen strait. On their way they killed musk oxen and bear, and made caches, arriving eventually at a point, nn the west side of Nansen strait (shore of Axel Heiberg Land of Sverdrup), south of Cape Thomas Huhbard. A cache was formed here and the four Eskimos did not go beyond this point. Two others, Koolootingwah and Inughito, went on one more march with Dr. Cook and the two boys, helped to build the snow igloo, then returned without sleeping. (These two Eskimos brought back a letter from Dr. Cook to Francke. dated the seventeenth of March. The two men rejoined the other four men who had been left behind, and the six returned to Anoratok, arriving May 7. This information was obtained not. from the two Eskimo boys, but from the six men who returned and from Francke himself, and was known to us in the summer of 1908, when the Roosevelt first arrived at Etah. The information is inserted here as supplementary to the narrative of the two boys.) After sleeping at the camp where the last two Eskimos turned back, Dr. Cook and the two boys went In a northerly or northwesterly direction with two sledges and twenty-odd dogs, one or more march, when they encountered rough Ice and a lead of open water. They did not enter this rough ice, nor cross the lead, but turned westward or southwestward a short distance and returned to Heiberg Land at a point west of w h i n they had left the cache and where the four men had turned back. After being Informed of the boys' narrative thus far, Commander Peary suggested a series of questions to be put to the boys in regard to this trip from the land out and back to it. Did they cross many open leads or much open water during this time? Ans. None. Did they make any caches out on the ice? Ans. No. With how many sledges did they start? Ans. Two. How many dogs did they have? Ans. Did not remember exactly, but something over twenty. How many sledges did they have when they got back to land? Ans. Two. Did they have any provisions left on their sledges when they came back to land? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had about all they could carry, so they were able to take but a few things from the cache. From here they went southwest along the northwest coast of Heiberg Land to a point Indicated on the map (Sverdrup's Cape Northwest). From here they went west across the Ice, which was level and covered with snow, offering good going, to a low Island which they had seen from the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape Northwest. On this Island they camped for one sleep. From this island they could see two lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ringnes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From the island they journeyed toward the left-hand one of these two lands (Amund Ringes Land), passing a small Island which they did not visit. Arriving at the shore of Amund Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed a deer as indicated on the chart. The above portion of the statement of the Eskimo boys covers the period of time in which Dr. Cook claims to have gone to the pole and back, and the entire time during which he could possibly have made any attempts to go to it. If It Is suggested that perhaps Dr. Cook got mixed and that he reached the pole, or thought he did, between the time of leaving the northwest coast of Heiberg Land at Cape Northwest, and his arrival at Ringnes Land, where they kilted the deer, we must then add to the date of Dr. Cook's letter of March 17th, at or near Cape Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four or five sleeps at that point, and the number of days required to march from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape Northwest (a distance of some sixty nautical miles), which would advance his date of departure from the land to at least the 25th of March, and be prepared to accept the claim that Dr. Cook went from Cape Northwest (about latitude eighty and a half degrees north) to the pole, a distance of five hundred and seventy geographical miles, In twenty-seven days. After killing the deer they then traveled south along the east side of Ringnes Land to the point Indicated on the chart, where they killed another deer They then went east across' the south part of Crown Prince Gustav sea to the south end of Heiberg Land, then down through Norwegian bay, where they secured some bears, but not until after they had killed some ol their dogs, to the east side of Graham Island; then eastward to ihe little bay marked "Eld's Fiord" of Sverdrup's chart; then southwest to Hell'a Gate and Simmon's peninsula. Here for the first time during the entire journey, except as already noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard, they encountered open water. On this point the boys were clear, emphatic, and unshakable. They spent a good deal of time in this region, and finally abandoned their dogs and one sledge, took to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate to North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet, then back along the north coast of Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera, where they obtained fresh eider duck eggs. Here they cut the remaining sledge off, that is shortened it, as it was awkward to transport with the boat, and near here they killed a walrus. From Cape Vera they went on down into the southwest angle of Jonea Sound, where they killed a seal; thence east along the south coast oi the sound, killing three bears at the point noted on the map, to the peninsula known as Cape Sparbo on the map, about midway on the south side of Jones Sound. Here they killed some musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed four more at the place indicated on the chart, and were flaally stopped by the pack ice at the s*ot»th of Jones Sound. From her* | ^ M . turned back to Cape Sparbo, WaW»* they wintered and killed many ttttfff oxen. After the sun returned in 1909 they started, pushing their sledge, acrosi Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thenri along the coast to Clarence Head; (passing inside of two small Islandi not shown on the chart, but drawn oil It by the boys), where they.killed a bear; thence across the broad bight in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around Cape Isabella and up to Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they found a seal cached for them by Panikpah, I-took-a-shoo's father. From here they crossed Smith Sound on ths ice, arriving at Anoratok. (Signed) R. E. PEARY. V. H, N. ROBERT A. BARTLETT. Master 8. 8. Roosevelt D. B. MMILLAN, GEORGE BORUP, MATTHEW A.

N the morning she found Blake scraping energetically at the inner surfaces of a pair of raw hyena skins. "So you've killed more game!" she exclaimed. "Game? N o ; hyenas. I hated to waste good poison on the brutes; but nothing else showed up, and T need a new pacir of pa—er—trousers." "Was it not dangerous—great beasts like these?" "Not even enough to make it interesting. I'd have had some fun, though, with that confounded lion when the moon came up if he hadn't sneaked off into the grass." "A lion?" "Yes. Didn't, you hear him? The skulking brute prowled around for hours before the moon rose, when it was pitch dark. It was mighty lonesome, with him yowling down by the pool. Half a chance and I'd given him something to yowl about. But. it. wasn't, any use firing off my arrows in the dark, and, as I said, he sneaked off before—" "Tom—Mr. Blake!—you must not risTc your life!" "Don't you worry about me. I've learned how to look out for Tom Blake. And you can just bank on it I'm going to look out for Miss Jenny Leslie, too! But say, after breakfast, Mpptec we take a run out on t h e cliff ^ - ^ - ¾ do not wish any to-day, thank •'yw." He waited a little, studying her down-bent face. "Well," he muttered; "you don't have to come. I know I oughtn't to t a k e a moment's time. I did quite a bit last night; hut if you think—" She glanced up, puzzled. His meaning flashed upon her, and she rose. "Oh, not that! I will come," she answered, and hastened to prepare the morning meal. When they came to the tree-ladder she found that the heap of stones huilt up by Blake to facilitate the first part of the ascent was now so high that she could climb into the branches without difficulty. She surmised that Blake had found it necessary to build up the pile before he could ascend with his burden. They were at the foot of ihe heap, when, with a sharp exclamation, Uiake •prang up Into tHe branches and scrambled t o ' t h e jtop i i hofi hadte. Wondering what, this might mean, Mis* Lealte followed an fast aa abe could. , W h e n , she reached t h e t o p she saw him running airous towards an out-jutting point on the north edge of tbe cliff. She baa Hurried uXter.him for more than half t h e distance before she pere& tyed the vulturea that were gathered In. a solemn circle about a long and narrow heap of stones on a ledge down on t h e sloping brink of the cliff. While a t t h e foot of the tree Blake had seen one of the grewsome Hock descending to join the other, and, feajful of what might be happening, Had rushed on ahead. At his approach, the croaking watchfirs hopped awkwardly from the ledges and soared away; only to wheel and circle back overhead. Ifciss Leslie Shrank down, shuddering. Blake came back near, her, and began t o gather up the pieces of looBe rock which were strewn about beneath the ledges on that part of the cliff- "I know I piled up enough," fie explained, in response to her look. "All the same, a few more will do no harm." "Then you are sure those awful birds have not—" He carried an armful of rocks to lay on the mound. When he began other, until the cairn had grown to twice its former size. The air on the open cliff top was fresher than in the cleft, and Miss Leslie gave little heed to the absence of shade. She would to gather more she. followed his example. They worked in silence, piling "I'm Fixing It So It'll Do Me Even When It Rains." the rough stones gently one upon anhave worked on under the burning sun "Yes, I'm sure." without thought of consequences. But Blake knew the need of moderation. "There; that'll do," he said. "He may have been—all he was; but we've no more than done our duty. Nov/, we'll stroll out on the point." "I should prefer to return." "Xo doubt. But. it's time you learned bow to go nesting. W h a t if you should be left alone here? Besides, it looks to me like the signal is tearing loose." She accompanied him out along the cliff crest until they stood in t h e midst of the bird colony, half deafened by their harsh clamor. She had never ventured into their concourse when alone. Even now she cried out, and would have retreated before the charp bills and beating wings had not Blake walked ahead and kicked the squawking birds out of the path. Having made certain that the big white flag was still secure on its staff he led the way along the seaward brink of the cliff, pointing out: the different kinds of seafowl and shouting information about such of their habits and qualities as were of concern to hungry castaways. He concluded the lesson by descending a dizzy flight of ledges to rob the nest of a frigate bird. It. was a foolhardy feat, at best, and doubly so in view of t b e thousands of eggs lying all around in the hollows of t h e cliff top. But from these Blake had recently culled out all the fresh settings of the frigate birds and none of the other eggs equaled them in delicacy of flavor. 'How's t h a t ? " he demanded, as he drew himself up over the edge of the cliff and handed the big chalky-white egg into her keeping. "I would rather go without than see you take such risks," she replied, coldly. "You would, e h ? " he cried, quite misunderstanding her, and angered by what seemed to him a gratuitous rebuff. "Well. I'd rather you'd say nothing than speak in that tone. If you don't want t h e egg heave it over." Unable to conceive any cause for his sudden anger, she was alarmed and drew back, watching him with sidelong glances. t "What's the matter?" he demanded. rThfnk I'm ipjnf.to bit,e, you?'' She shrank farther away, and did not answer. At her call to the noon meal Blake toOk his time to respond, and when he a t last came to join her he was morose and taciturn. She m e t him with a smile and exerted ail her womanly tact t o conciliate him. "You must help me eat the egg," she said. "I've boHed it hard." " "Rather e a t beef," he mumbled "But just to please me—when : ve cooked it youx way?" He uttered an inarticulate sound which she chose to interpret a s assent. T h e egg was already shelled. She cut it exactly in half and served one of the pieces to him with a hit of warm fat and a pinch of salt. As he took tbe dish he raised his sullen eyes tft h e r face. She met his gaze with a look of smiling insistence. "Come now," she said; "please don't refuse. I'm sorry I was so rude." "Well, if you feel that way about It!—not t h a t I care for fancy dishes," he responded, gruffly. "It would be missing half the enand onions in the same dish." "I'm sure, Mr. Blake—" "Beats a burlesque all hollow—Mrs. Mnt-Regls-Waldoff's chop-sooey t e a and young Mrs. Vandam-Jones' autocotillon— with us sitting here like troglodytes, chewing snake-poisoned antelope, and you in that Kundry dress—" "Do you—I w a s not aware that you knew about music." "Don't know a note. But give me a chance to hear good music and I'm there it" I have to stand in the peanutgallery." "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm very, very fond of music! Have you been to Bayreuth?" "Where's t h a t ? " "In Germany. It Is where his operas a r e given as staged by Wagner himself. It is indescribably grand and inspiring—above all, tbe Parsifal!" "I'll most certainly t a k e that in, even if I have to cut short my engagement in this gee-lorious clime— not but what, when it comes to leopard ladies—" He paused and surveyed her with frank admiration. The blood leaped into her face. "Oh!" she gasped, "I never dreamed that even such a man as you would compare me with—with a creature like t h a t ! " "Such a man as m e ! " repeated Blake, staring. "What do you mean? I know I'm not much of a ladies* m a n ; but to be yanked up like this when a fellow is trying to pay a compliment —well, it's not just what you'd call pleasant." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Blake. I misunderstood. I—" "That's all right, Miss Jenny! I don't ask any lady to beg my pardon. The only thing is I don't see why you should flare out at me that way." For a full minute she sat, with down-bent head, her face clouded with doubt and indecision. At last she bravely raised her eyes to meet his. "Do you wonder that I am not quite myself?" she asked. "You should remember that I have always had the utmost, comforts of life and have been cared for— Don't you see how terrible it is for me? And then the death of—of—" "I can't be sorry for t h a t ! " . "But even you felt how terrible it was—and then— Oh, surely, you must see how—how embarrassing—" It was Blake's turn to look down and hesitate. She studied his face, her bosom heaving with quick-drawn breath; but. she could make nothing cf his square jaw and firm-set lips. Hid eyes were concealed by the brim of his leaf hat. When he spoke, seemingly it was to change the subject: "Guess you saw me making my hut. t*n\ fixing it so it'll do me even when it rains." II:1 (I he been the kind of man that she had been educated to consider as alone entitled to the name of gentleman, she could have felt, certain that he hp.d intended the remark for a delicately worded assurance. But was Tom Blake, for all his blunt kindliness, capable of such tact? She chose to consider that be was. "It's a cunning little bungalow. But will not. the rain flood you out?*' "It's going to have a raised floor. You're more like to have the rain drive in on you again. I'll have to rig up a porch over your door. It. won't do til stuff up the hole. You've little enough air as it is. But that can wai' a while. There's other work more pressing. First, there's the barricade. By the time that's done those hyena skins will be cured enough to use. I've pot. to have new trousers soon, and new shoes, too." "I can do the sewing, if you will cut. out the patterns." •No; I'll take a stagger at it myself first. I'd rather you'd go egging. You need to run around more, to keep In trim." "I feel quite well now, and I am g o w i n g so strong! The only thing. is this constant heat." "We'll have to grin and hear it. Alter all. it's not so bad, if only we rn.i stave off the fever. Another reason 1 want you to go for eggs ia mat you can take your time about it, and keep a look-out ft>r steasaers." "Then youMV&rmV'i , •, K, • "Don't sore-Wv pp , you* hope* too high. We've little show of being picked up by a chance boat on a coast with reefs like this. But I flguA that if I was In youn daddy's shot* it'd be joyment to e a t such a delicacy without some one to share it." she said. Blake looked away without answer. But she could see t h a t bis face was beginning to clear. Greatly encouraged, she chatted away a s though they were seated at h e r father's dinnertable and h e was an elderly friend from the business world whom it was her duty t o entertain. For a while Blake betrayed little Interest, confining himself to monosyllables except when he commented on the care with which she had cooked the various dishes. When she least expected, h e looked up aft her, his lips parted In a broad smile. She stopped short, for she had been describing h e r first social triumphs and his untimely levity embarrassed her. "Don't get mad, Miss Jenny," h e said, his eyes twinkling. "You don't know how funny it seems to sit here and listen to you talking about those things. It's like serving up Ice cream high time for me to be cabling a ship to run up from Natal, or down from Zanzibar, to look around for jettison, et cetera." "I'm sure papa will ofTer a big reward." "Second the motion! I've a sort of idea I wouldn't mind coming in for a reward myself." "You? Oh, y e s ; to be sure. Papa is generous, and he will be grateful to anyone who—" "You think I mean his dirty money!" broke in Blake, hotly. H e r confusion told him that he had not been mistaken. His face, only a moment since bright and pleasant, took on its sullenest frown. Miss Leslie rose hurriedly and started along the cleft. "Hello!" he called. "Not going for eggs now, are you?" She did not reply. "Hang it all, Miss Jenny! Don't go off like that." "May I ask you to excuse me, Mr. Blake? Is that sufficient?" "Sufficient? It's enough to give a fellow a chill! Come, now; don't go off mad. You know I've a quick temper. Can't you make allowances?" "You've—you've no right to look so angry, even if I did misunderstand you. You misunderstood m e ! " She caught herself up with a half sob. His silence gave her time to recover her composure. She continued with excessive politeness: "*Need I repeat my request to be excused, Mr. Blake?" "No; once is enough! But, honest, now, 1 didn't mean to be nasty." "Good-day, Mr. Blake." "Oh, da-darn it, good-day!" he groaned. When, a few minutes later, she returned, he was gone. He did not come back until some time after dark, when she had withdrawn to her leanto for the night. His hands were bleeding from thorn scratches; but after a hasty supper he went back down t h e cleft to build up the new wall of the barricade with the great stack of fresh thorn-brush that he had gathered during the afternoon.

She ordered another dozen lemons, had the Iceman till her icebox to the brim and reminded her husband not to forget to send out a supply of palm leaf fans aa soon as possible. The day of the porch party the thermometer fell 30 degrees, su it was a rather dubious company that received their hostess' cheerful greeting. "Of course it's a little cooler than I hoped it would be," she said gayly. "But what's the use of having such a glorious view and such a roomy porch If you don't enjoy them?" "I thought maybe we'd go into the house," ventured Mrs. Proctor. "Admire my view!" Mrs. Deeaon commanded. "Do you wonder that I care nothing for the seashore since we moved here? I fall asleep at night to the sound of the waves and awake to the roar of the surf." "I should think the foghorn would bother you a lot," said Mrs. Anderson.

"We crawled up to the lifeboat only to find that she had a hole stove in her bottom. Then we followed the captain back aft again and shifted the big lifeboat over to the port side to lower her. "When the after end began to split up, Capt. Ho?well ordered us all in the boat. We all piled in, only to find that she wouldn't ride with 18 of us In her, so we all climbed out again.

During the time he was locked up he would light match after match and beg piteously for cigarettes. No Known Reason. "Here is my heart, watch me shoot it." With this remark to his companion, Renl Likkoner, aged 14, a Houghton lad, placed the muzzle of a loaded gun to his heart :arid puTW the trigger. The charge tore a terrible hole in his chest and took away abofct half the heart. The bey died instantly.and the reason of his rash deed will never be known.

A prominent banker of Chattanooga tells how he keeps himself in condition: "Up to 17 yeara of age I was not allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as I got out in the world I began t o m e it and grew very fond of it. For some years I noticed no bad effects from its use, bnt in time it, began to affect me unfavorably. My hands trembled, the muscles of my face twitched, my mental processes seemed slow and in other ways my system got out of order. These conditions grew so bad at last that I had to give up coffee altogether. "My attention having been drawn to Postum, I began its use on leaving off the coffee, and It gives me pleasure to testify to its value. I find it a delicious beverage; like it just as well as 1 did cofTee, and during the years that I have used Postum I have been free from the distressing symptoms that accompanied the use of coffee. The nervousness has entirely disappeared, and I am as steady of hand as a boy of 2R, though I am more than 92 years old. I owe all this to Postum." "There's a Reason."

They seemed to know aomethlng.and investigation followed. This led to the arrest of one J. W. Leach, who drove an autc^for a man named Austin, T Leach waa locked up and broke down, making a confession which led to the arrest of Dr. George A. Fritch again. While Leach's full statement has not "fceen made public, Capt. McDonnell and Prosecutor Van Zile have outlined the account he gave them of that night's work six week* ago. Maybelle Millman came from Ann Arbor with her friend, Martha Henning, and called on Dr. Fritch. The doctor, according to what has been learned from Leach, made an appointment with Miss Millman for 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Aug. 27. She came to his office as arranged and within SO minutes was dead in his operating oeeia, probably from the effects of an anesthetic. "Dr. Fritch waa alone and unaided when he dissected the body and placed its pieces in three gunnysacks," said Capt. McDonnell, telling of Leach's revelations. "Then he telephoned Leach, whom he had known for 12 years and whose family physician he waa, and told him to be on hand at 10 that night with an automobile. When Leach came to the (doctor's office he was taken into the operating room where the three sacks lay on the floor. The doctor, while impressing him with the necessity of aecrecy, did not tell him what was afoot. He asked Leach to help him, and the chauffeur carried one of the bag* and the doctor the other two out to the automobile and placed them in the tonneau. It is said that Dr. Fritch gave Leach $25 for his share in the work. "They drove at once to Dr. Fritch's nome and into his garage. Here the physician untied the sacks and hurriedly stuffed a number of bricks into them. Then they sped at once to the bridge over Ecorse creek and with the automobile's lights out the doctor tossed the weighted bags into the water. When the last splash assured him that they had been disposed of, he ordered Leach to hasten back to the, city." After Leach had confessed to carting the dismembered body of the Millman girl to Ecorse creek, the police decided to bring the physician and chatffcttiac*\Wia4*,v;- v* U Dr. Fritch was escorted into Capt.

ParisT—A man whose-wife is dying M Ma agonizing disease jla Justified in killing her to put aa end to her Buffering if she implore* him to do so. So a Jury decided In the court of assizes here and acquitted Edmond Baudin, who at her prayer shot and kilted his wife January 31 last Mme. Baudin had been afflicted with asthma for years. It gripped her throat; It was a weight on her lungs; it stopped her breath. She begged her husband to aid her by killing her quickly, as the affection waa slowly throttling her. Baudin, a mechanic, 39 years old, a rough, plain-spoken man, sought to " i • ' m t ; : ? v; j r . * / BJBH T r S» "If You Love Me, Put Me Out of My Misery." Justify his act with words as straightforward as they were dramatic. .Tears streamed from his eyes while he testified. The jurors also wept and the women in the court room were semi-hysterical. The presiding Judge, who disapproved of the jury's verdict, remarked: "For the moment the bandage on the eyes of justice was a handkerchief." "My wife, whom I loved dearly, had suffered fearfully from asthma," Baudin testified. "She could not sleep. If she laid her head on the pillow she would cry: 'I am choking. In the name of the good Qod end my misery. Let me die.' "On the night she died she was suffering intensely," Baudin went on. "The medicine she was taking was nearly exhausted. 'I will go and get you some more medicine/ I said. 'No,' she said, 'buy no more medicine. You know we are^poor, I am gone. Medicine will do me no good. I suffer! Oh, how I suffer. " 'But pay no more for medicine. I have cost you too much money already. If you love me put me out of my misery. Prove your love and let me leave you. Kill me. If you were a determined man you would not see me suffer as I do.' " "I was maddened by the sight of her agony." said Baudin. "I seized a revolver with which I intended to defend our home; shot her in the head. She died Instantly. "I determined then to kill myself, but I thought of my sister, the only other being who depends on me. I went to see my sister. She wept, but told me I should surrender to the police, which I did at once." SAYS KILL NIGHT RIDERS Gov. Wlllton of Kentucky Advises Independent Tobacco Growers to Use Arms.

Itched and Scratched Until Blood Rati —-450 Spent on Useless Treatments •—Disease Seemed Incurable. Cured by Cuticura for $1-50. "When my little boy was two and a half months old he broke out on both cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy, watery kind and we had to keep his little hands wrapped up all the time, and if he would happen to get them uncovered he would claw his face till the blood streamed down on his clothing. We called in a physician at once, but he gave an ointment which was so severe that my babe would scream when It was put on. We changed doctors and medicine until we had spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. I was so worn out watching and caring for him night and day that I almost felt sure the disease waa incurable. But finally reading of the good results of the Cuticura Remedies, I determined to try them. I can truthfully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only a dollar and a halfs worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors' medicines I had tried, and in fact entirely cared him.

A novel method of attaining loaawvt* ty was practiced by Mrs. Yetta Schulman, who died recently In New York at the advanced age of 106 years, Mrs. Schulman paid no particular attention to points of diet, exercise, sleep, etc, which usually figure largely In rules laid down for those growing old. She believed that the lives of aged persons could be prolonged if they associated constantly or nearly so with young people, and she apparently verified her theory, for she spent the greater part of her time In company with children, even taking part in their sports with lively interest-— Leslie's Weekly.

Establish Another Creamery. First London Square Lighted with Gas Finsbury Square, where a fresh "lung" Is being acquired for Londoners, was laid out by the younger Dance about 1777. A few years later Mrs. Burney told Dr. Johnson that she "could not live there," because of the proximity of Bedlam. The ungallant lexicographer retorted: "Nay, madam, I think a very moral use may be made of these new buildings; I would have those with heated imaginations live here, and take warning." Which looks like a nasty knock for lady novelists. Finsbury Square was the first public place lighted with gas, though Mice experimental lamps had previously been displayed In front of Carlton house.—Westminster Gazette. Unhurt by Awful Pall. After falling to the sidewalk from a third-story window the other day, Mary Plapier, three yean old of Sev enth avenue, New York, was able to protest vigorously against being taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Last Wednesday, Oct. 18th, 1909, a very pretty weddiug ceremony was performed at ftusbton, at tbe home of Mr. and Airs. Z.J. Davenport, when their daughter Lola E. was united with Mr. Orviile M. Nash of North Hamborg, in Holy Matrimony. Tbe bride was daintily dressed in pure white, from the flowers on her bead to tbe shoes on her feet, the groom was dressed in regulation blaok, Rev. A. G. Gates, officiated. They received many beautiful aud useful gifts of silver and China goods from near friends and relative?. Alter tbe ceremony a rich -wedding dinner was served then for <n hour the young people enjoyed themselves with jolity and merth after wbioh Mr. and Mrs. Nash took the train for tb* Niagara Falls and New York whern Mr. Nash has relatives and wber* they will enjoy •* visit of ten days or more when they will be at home to their many friends with Mr. and Mrs. Bert L. C. Nash in North Hamburg about Nov. 6. The young couple go out into the world with all its aviations with tbe best wishes of their many friends and neighbors. Marriage is not a union merely be tween two creatures; it is a union between two spirits; and tbe union U intended tor the perfection of both hv each supplying tbe needs of the other by giving to each sex toose excellen o«es in which it is naturally diffident; to tbe one, kindness, meekness; and jnst so solemn and glorious as these ends are for which the union was intended, just so terrible are the consequences if it be perverted and abused, for there is no earthly relationship who has so much power to enable and to exhalt. There are two rooks in this world of ours, on which the soul must anchor or be wrecked, the one is God the other is the opposite sex. A good wife is like the ivy which beautifies the building to which it clinas, winning its tendrils more lovingly as time converts the ancient edifice into a ruin. To be man's mate, washwoman born and in tb;s relation does she best serve tbe purprses ot heaven. * Sanscrit* lor tfes NOTICE!

The health authorities in New York find it this year rather worse than usual, it appears in the dwelling* of the well-to-do a s freely as In the shacks of the poor. Sanitation does nut prevent it, that is, not what we generally call sanitation. It is an intestinal disease, conveyed by drink or food. The old theories of bad air, sewer gas and damp houses have not now much standing. It is feared that some of the later theories do not explain all the points about autumn typhoid. The housefly does n o t The condition of the water supply, a s being different In summer and winter, does n o t A plausible explanation is that the profuse perspiration with which In summer the body eliminates a large amount of disease breeding matter, is reduced to a minimum almost Instantly when the cool days begin. The kidneys and bowels, unaccustomed to the task, are burdened with dangerous materials and unable to perform the task of elimination. It is at least common knowledge that typhoid Is most prevalent when the cool weather sets In. THE PRISON BOARD LEASES A FARM TO WORK IDLK CONVICTS ON. Premier Katsura of Japan in an address before a club of bankers at Tokyo outlined the policy of the government in a manner which should allay the apprehensions of timorous souls who see In every move in that direction a threat of war with the United States. The premier set forth plans for developing the resources of the empire and avoiding unnecessary expenditure. This peaceful program contained nothing to which objection can be taken anywhere. On the contrary, the plans deserve the warmest approval. Japan has had enough of war for the present, and sees that her highest interests will be served by promoting prosperity at home and strengthening friendly relations abroad. And what a year It is: Plying a certainty; north pole discovered; Turkey reformed; Persia reformed; England's Ideas of the ethics of taxation upset; India restive; China subjected to a trials of new Impressions; the distance across the Atlantic further shortened; the distance across the continent about to be shortened; wireless improved; the everlasting power of sentiment dramatically Illustrated in the fall of Clemenceau. If the cave man lived to-day he could hardly repeat his now famous declaration: 'Romance la dead," says:iCollier's Weekly. By science; contran to many fears, wonjljtor and myitery have been Increased. The "daylight saving" bill appears to have gone by the board In the British house of of commons, and no great harm done. The matter was solemnly considered by a committee, arid for awhile it looked as though parliament would enact the measure. But sober second thought set in, and the committee reported in favor of drop J)ing the bill, '"because of grave doubts whether its objects would be attained without subjecting some important interests to serious inconvenience." And that is the end of the agitation so far as parliament is concerned. Six of Rear-Admiral Sebree's fleet of fast cruisers succeeded in making a record run from San Francisco to Honolulu, but the fact that two cruisers had to abandon the race because oj breaks ip their machinery •which In one instance involved a sacrifice of two lives, is proof that it is dangerous to push warships at top .speed even in times of peace. In war times, crippled cruisers are a serious handicap in emergencies. The death of Capt Ferber of the French army in an aeroplane accident at Boulogne Sur Mer adds another army official to a list of those who thave died as a result of aerial service. The first American name on 'this list is that of Lieut Thomas 'Selfridge, who was killed "when the Wright aeroplane fell at Washington ^ast year. ' A purse containing $200 and a handsome diamond ring were lost in a New Jersey penitentiary, and found 'and restored by two- prisoners. Such an astonishing amount o f . koaesty [ought not to be locked up. WENGER? O! HE'S ALL RIGHT. The Governor Going to Yucatan to Buy Sisal and Hopes to 8svs the State Money. MICHIGAN ITEMS. u Tlie prison board was \n session until nearly midnight Thursday evening, but so far as can be ascertained avoided any mention of the appointment of a new warden. The onry thing accomplished was the leasing of a farm near the institution on which to farm out convicts who are now idle behind its walls. Nearly 100 of the inmates were thrown out of work when the broom plant shut down aud the farm has been leased in order that they may be put to work on it. "They will go 'bug-house' without work," said Navin. of the board. Navin asked that the prison officials tabulate the amount of farm produce used by the institution and bought from farmers. At Friday's session, which ended shortly before noon, the board again failed to take up the wardenship matter. "Is the board satisfied with Acting Warden Wenger?" was asked of Chairman Merriman. "Wenger is performing his duty very efficiently, and just now the board sees no necessity for making a change," said the chairman. "Furthermore, it should not be hasty in its selection of the next warden." The board provided for the trip of Gov. Warner to Yucatan, and re-engaged John B. Brewer as superintendent of the binder twine plant. Brewer has just arrived in the olty from the west. His salary is Increased from $2,000 to $2,200. The trip to Yucatan will be made about Nov. 1. The board is of the opinion that the state, by buying sisal directly from the growers, can save $1 per bale. There are 8,000 bales used each year. Idle Convicts. The Illinois Broom Co. Wednesday noon ceased its connection with the Michigan state prison, its contract having been cancelled. This leaves the prison with a lot of Idle convicts, who will have to be found work or else kept locked up in their cells. Warden Wenger is figuring out how he will keep all the convicts that worked in the broom shop employed. No application has been made by any other concern to contract for prison labor. Took Strychnine, With apparently no reason for the act, Mrs. Edward Ferguson, aged 19, married for only a year, after eating a hearty breakfast, went to an outbuilding on her husband's farm near Lexington and, according to physicians, swallowed strychnine. An hour later she died in the arms of her husband. The 24-year-old husband is at a loss to account for his young bride's self-destruction.

Never has the season been more favorable than this one, and the 30,000 or more farmers who have planted sugar beets and are now about to harvest are glorifying in the anticipated revenues that will amply repay them for their acreage and work. The weather is ideal, the roads are good, and everyone is hustling in the campaign. The crops of this year will be in excess of those of 1908. although in some sections of the state the drought had its effect Notwithstanding the backward spring and the unfavorable weather conditions that existed throughout the early portion of the summer, this year will top all records in the beet industry for the eleven years.

O, JUCluig * Coo SYN0P8IS. The story opens with the shipwreck of the steamer on which Mlsa Genevieve Leslie, a s American helreu. Lord Winthrope, an Englishman, and T o n Blake, a brusque American, were paaienaers. The three were tossed upon an uninhabited Island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake, shunned on the boat, because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing for th« hand of Bliss Leslie. Winthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which he was scored by Blake. All three constructed hats to shield themselves from the sun. They then feasted on cocoanuts, the only Brocurable food. Miss Leslie showed a king for Blake, but detested his roughness. Led by Blake, they established a home in some cliffs. Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation. Blake recovered his surveyor's magnifying glass, thus insuring are. He started a jungle fire, killing a large leopard and smothering several cubs. In the leopard's cavern they built a small home. They gained the cliffs by burning the bottom of a tree until it fell against the heights. The trio secured eggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white skirt was decided upon as a signal. Miss Leslie made a dress from the leopard skin. Overhearing a conversation between Blake and Winthrope, Miss Leslie became frightened. Winthrope became 111 with fever. Blake was poisoned by a fish and almost died. Jackals attacked the camp that night, but were driven off by Genevieve. Blake constructed an animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour the trio discovered honey and oysters. Miss Leslie was attacked by a poisonous snake. Blake killed it and saved its poison to kill game. For the second time Winthrope was attacked by fever. He and Blake disagreed. The latter made a strong door for the private compartment of Miss I^eslle's cave home. A terrible storm raged that night. Winthrope stole into her roor *, but she managed to swing her door closed In time. Winthrope was badly hurt. He died the following morning. The storm tore down their distress flag, so a new one was swung from a bamboo pole. Miss Leslie helped in covering wlnthrope's grave with stones. CHAPTER XXIII. The End of the World. N the morning he met Miss Leslie with a sullen bearing, which, however, did not altogether conceal his desire to be on friendly terms. Having regained her self-control, she responded to this with such tact that by evening each felt more at ease in the new relationship, and Blake had lost every trace of his moroseness. The fact that both were passionately fond of music proved an Immense help. It gave them an impersonal source of mutual sympathy and understanding —a common meeting-ground in the world of art and culture, apart from and abpve the plane of their material wants. Yet for all his enjoyment of the girl's wide knowledge of everything relating to music, Blake took care that their talks and discussions did not interfere with the activities of their primitive mode of life. As soon as he had finished with the barricade he devoted himself to his tailoring and shoe-making; while Miss Leslie, between her cooking and wood-gathering and daily visits to the cliff for eggs, had much to occupy both her thoughts and her hands., At first every ascent of the cliff was embittered by a painful consciousness of the cairn over the north edge. Fortely it was not in sight from the tt path to the headland, and, as refrained from visiting It, the new _ ftnings of her wild life soon thrust :UFlfithrope and his death out of the foreground of her thoughts. Each day she had to nerve herseTf to meet the beaks and1 wings of the despoiled nestowners ', each day she looked with greater hope for the expected rescue ship, only to be increasingly disappointed. But the hours she spent on the clifl crest after gathering the day's supply of eggs were not spent merely In watching and longing. The inconveniences of carrying the eggs la a handkerchief or In one of the heavy jars suggested a renewal of her attempt at basket-making. Memory, perseverance and a trace of inventiveness enabled her to produce a small but serviceable hamper of split bamboo. Encouraged by this success she, gathered a Quantity of tough, wiry grass, and wove a bat to take the "What Does Life Mean, Anyway?" and I guess those that hit out upcountry ran so hard they haven't been able to get back y.et." "But it has been years since the slave trade was forbidden." "And they don't sell beer in Kansas —oh, no! I'll bet the dhows still slip over from Madagascar when the moon is in the right quarter. At any rate, niggers are mighty scarce or mighty shy around here. I've kept a watch for smoke, and haven't seen a suspicion of it anywhere. Maybe the swamps swing around inland and cut off this strip of coast. It looked that way to me when I made that trip along the ridge. But there'3 a chance it used to be inhabited, and we may run across an abandoned village." "I do not see that the discovery would do us any good." "How about the chance of grain or bananas still growing? But that's all a guess. We're going because we need a change." She nodded and hastened to prepare breakfast, while he packed a skin bag with food and examined the slender tips of his arrows. As a matter of precaution, he had been keeping them in the cigarette case, where the points would be certain of a coat of the sticky poison and at tho same time guarded against Inflicting a chance wound. But as he was now about to set out on a Journey he fitted tips into the heads of hl3 two straightest shafts. The morning was still fresh when they closed the barricade behind them and descended to the pool. There was no game in sight, but Btake had no wish to hunt at the commencement of the trip. The steady southwest wind had blown the sky clear of its malarial haze and gave promise of a day which should know nothing of sultry calm—a day on which game would be hard to stalk, but one perfectly suited .for a long tramn. Mindful of ticks, Blake headed obliquely across to the beach. Once on the smooth, hard sand, they swung along at a brisk pace, light-hearted and keen with the spirit of adventure. Never had they felt more companionable. Miss Leslie laughed and chatted and aanf •natnaoi of eonft, while Blakr teat time iwithhla'club, "or sought to whittle grand opera—he iaad healed hi* blistered lips some time before by liberal applications of I B * anteloiw J&JQW ~ ' ' ' "* * • Gulli and terns circled about them or hovered over 'the water ready to swoon down upon their tony prey. Sandxhpertfran atongthe -bMch within a stone's throw, hot the curlews showed- their greater- knowledge of mankind by kewpteg beyond gunshot. Onoe a great flock of geeae "drove high overhead, their leader honking the alarm aa they swept above the suspicious figures on the beach. Like the curlews, they had knowledge of mankind. But the flock of white pelicans which came sailing along in stately leisure on their immense wings floated past so low that Blake felt certain be could shoot one. He raised his bow and took aim, but refrained from shooting at the thought that It might he a sheer ,wa#te of his precious poison. A Utile later a herd of large animals appeared on the -border of the grass Jungle, but wheeled and dashed back into cover so quickly that Blake barely had time to make out that they were buffaloes—the first he bad seen on thle coast, but easily recognized by their resemblance to the Cape variety. Their flight gave him small concern; for the time being he was more Interested In topography than game. The southern headland now lay close before them, its seaward face rearing up sheer and lofty, but the approach behind running down in broken terraces. Mid-morning found the explorers at the foot of the ridge. Blake squinted up at the bowlderstrewn slopes and the crannies of the broken ledges. "Likely place for snakes, Miss Jenny," he remarked. "Guess I'd better lead." Eager as she was to look over Into the country beyond, the girl dropped into second place and made no complaint about the wary slowness of her companion's advance. She found the most difficult parts of the ascent quite easy after her training on the tree-ladder. Blake could have taken ledges and all at A run, but as he mounted each terrace he halted to spy out the ground before him. Like Miss Leslie, he was looking for snakes, though for an exactly opposite reason. He wished to add to the contents of the cigarette case. Greatly to his disappointment and the girl's relief neither snake nor Bign of snake was to be seen all the way up the ridge. As they neared the crest Blake turned to offer her his hand up the last ledges, and in the Instant they gained the top. The wind, now freshening to a gale, struck the girl with such force that she would have been blown back down the ledges had not Blake clutched her wrist. Heedless alike of the painful grip which held her and of the gusts which tore at her skirt, the girl stood gazing out across the desolate swampB which stretched away to the southwest as far as the eye could see. She did not speak until Blake led her down behind the shelter of the crest ledges. "What's the matter?" he demanded. "Didn't I warn you?" She looked away to hide the tears which sprang into her eyes. "I can't explain—only, it makes me feel so—so lonely!" "Oh, come now, little woman; don't take on so!" he urged. "It might be a lot worse, you know. We've gotten along pretty well, considering." "You have been very kind, Mr. Blake, and as you say, matters might have been worse. I do not forget how far more terrible was our situation the morning after the storm. Yet you must realize how disappointing it is to lose even the slightest hope of escape." "Well, I don't know. If it wasn't for the fever that's bound to come with the rain, I, for one, would just as leave stick to this camp right along, providing the company don't change." She turned upon him with flashing eyes, all thought of caution lost in her anger. "How dare you say such a thing? You are contemptible! I despise you!" "My, Miss Jenny, but you are pretty when you get mad!" he exclaimed. The answer took her completely aback. He was neither angry nor laughing at her, but met her defiant glance with candid, sober admiration. There was something more than admiration in his glowing eyes; yet she could not but see that her alarm had been baseless. His manner had never been more respectful. Suddenly she found that she could no longer meat his gaze. She looked away and stammered lamely: "You—you shouldn't say such things, you know." "Why not? Hasn't everything been running smooth the last few days? Haven't we been good chummy comrades? Of course you've got the worst of the deal. I know I'm not much on fancy talk; bnt I like to hear it when I've a chance. I've led a lonesome sort of life since they did for my sisters— No, I'm not going to rake that up again.

"Mr. Blake, really you are most unjust! I could not be so—so ungrateful, after all your kindness. I—we ahould certainly be glad to number you among our friends." "Drink and all, eh?" "A man of your will-power has no need whatever to give way to such a habit." "Course not, if he's got anything in sight worth while. Guess, though, my folks must have been poor white trash. I never could go after money just for the fun of the game. No family, no friends, no—what-you-callit?— culture— What's the use? I have a fair head for figures; but all the mathematics that I know I've had to catch hot off the bat. It's true I grubbed my C. E. out of a correspondence school; but a fellow has to have an all-round, crack-up education to put him where it's worth while." "You still have time to work up. You are not much over 30." "Twenty-seven." "Twenty-seven! I should have thought— What a hard life you must have had!" "Hard work? Well, I suppose Panama did do for me some. But It wasn't so much that. Few fellows could hit up the pace I've set and come out at all." "I do not understand." "Just wnat yon might expect of h fellow in my fix—all kinds of gamble and drink and—the rest of it." (TO B E CONTINUED.) TWO FAULT8 COULD BE CURED. Prospective Husband and Wife Both Full of Confidence. An Irish boy marries when he has a rid house, and an Irish girl just when she pleases, says Seutnas MacManus, in Lippincott's. Sometimes she so pleases while yet her years are few; at other times she is content to wait upon wisdom. In the latter case, of course, she m a k e s a wise choice; but m the former almost a l w a y s a lucky one—for luck is the guardian angel of the Irish. "You're too young to marry yet, Mary," the mother said, when Mary pleaded that she should grant Laurence O'Mahony a particular boon. "If you only have patience, mother, I'll cure meself of that fault," was Mary's reply. "And she's never been used to work, Laurence," the mother said to the suitor, dlscouragingly. "If you only have patience, ma'am," was Laurence's reply to this, "I'll cure her of that fault." And he did, too. Public Opinion Mighty. The only tribunal, save the battlefield, before which the acts of nations pass in review is tho court ot public opinion. The sentiment of thu world will not tolerate acts which would have been uncondemned 200 years ago, and those who are responsible for government to-day would not do such things. But this fact does not make treaties to-day more binding than old treaties. Although such agreements are too often broken, yet it Is well to make them and right to condemn nations for violating t h e m ; for it is in that way that the sentiment grows which will in the distant future successfully demand an international police force to execute the law of nations.—Youth's Companion.

One day Tip Ury and Tip Root a*v soared In the doorway of Tony's shop logging between them a black-an-tan terrier that yelped and straggled to •jot free. "PUtty dogg'ee," aald Tip U l y to Tony* who was sewing on the sole of % rteingboot. "You n n d a h e e m r said Tony. "Tear W e r e ? In da street? Tea?" Tip Rose shook her head vigorously to assent. "Ton waata me buy heem?" said Tony Vaioroee. "Yea?" Tip Roe* and Yip U l y both nodded together. But Tony shook his head the other way. "Not gotta da mun," he said; "oot gotta da mun." Tip Lily thrust a tiny sandal from beneath her Christian gingham dress and pointed to her foot. "Make shoes of heem?" aald Tony. "Ah, no!" He shrugged his shoulders, and fell desperately to stitching again. "Ze Society for ze Cruelness to ae Annimlles, zey would cut off from poor Tony hees head for dat. No. No!" The little girls and their struggling burden had been gone some minutes when a handsome, flushed young fellow in tennis flannels entered. "Tony, the cop says Spot was brought in here by two little Chinese artrls." "Bes It your dog?" said Tony, Jumping up and letting a lot of leather odds and ends slide from kis canvas apr*n to the floor. "Ah! zey may have him cook' and eat' by now. I finked he was but oommon—what you call it—pup! I run, I—I fly to aee!" And Tony bounced out, bis apron flying, his cheeks blazing with excitement, into the laundry where Ah Fong stood placidly at the .ironing board with a red text from the Sunday school above his head. "Ze dog, no small dog!*' spluttered Tony. The China man Ironed away, lgnor* ing the visitor. *1 want heem!" said Tony. There was no answer.

At the Rockefeller Institute Flexner and Carrel proved that visible death is not. true somatic death; they grew into live animals organs and tissues of animals tlsU had been in cold storage for a month. In some cases certain functions seem to continue in the grave until every part of the man is dead. Hunter a century ago cut out of animals blood vessels tied up full of live blood which lived for days. An old chenv leal belief was that eadaveriae. a product of decay, stimulated the hair growth, and some do'ctors tried cadowerine as a hair restorer. The youth in tennis flannel appeared to reinforce the frenzied Tony. "Have you got s dog here?" he demanded. Ah Fong called out something in a shrill, cackling patter toward the back of tb* sjop. Presently Yip Lily and Yip Rose entered, making tiny Balaams, but no blackand-tan terrier was forthcoming. , "Where Is the dog?" "Yes," chimed In the little shoemaker. "Ze dog! Ze dog!" Ah, mistalre, zey are cooking heem for to eat heem, ze beautiful cane, ze bell dogg-ee." Suddenly a light seemed to dawn on Ah Fong's countenance. He lifted the covering of the ironing table, that fell in ample folds to the floor, and lo! beneath, on the floor, lay the blackand-tan terrier colled and quietly sleeping. Ah Fong spoke to it in rapid-fire Chinese, and it jumped and danced about him with extravagant demonstrations of affection and delight. The young man uttered a disgusted exclamation. "Ours was a Boston bull terrier of pure breed," he said, "not a mangy, flea-bitten mongrel like that." Which did not greatly enlighten the foreign audience present. Jo Lee just then sauntered in, most opportunely, from his laundry two blocks up the street. Business was light and he had locked his shop and was taking half an hour's vacation to renew old Foochow memories with his friend. Ah Fong. Jo had been in this country longer and could speak English, and Ah Fong's rapid-fire was turned on him for several minutes, whVe Jo listened attentively. Then .To translated, in a sing-song drawl: "Ah Fong say he send his leetle gells to have shoes marie like Amelican, and dey take with dem de small dog, but Tony Valolo he p'laps maybe no understand, he t'lnk, maybe. . . ." Not waiting to hear more, thej^nnis flannels ran aoross the street to a public telephone station in Maynard'a market. "Oh, that's all right. Tom, dear," came a feminine response from the golf club.

B. Lipplncott Cu.j A woman or a gold discovery will j duced me to the girl again, aa 11 I change the whole order of living in a man or a town. The caise in point begins on the night that Reeder came up from Sorocco with a lady. I had the honor of knowing Reeder in the old daya. Reeder's lady was vividly new, aa only a girl's fair face can be; and it is not her fault, nor mine, but the conditions of Sodom, inasmuch as 1 was reminded that night of being a colleger once, a clothes-model and a rejoicer In life, back in the dim behind. Hut this is not my story. It Is Didsey'B. Dldaey Is my bunkie. I haven't been ten yards away from Didsey for u week all told in two years, and since we've run onto gold, religion and small-pox at the same time, I think I'm beginning to understand the lad. "Is that the Reeder you used to know?" he questioned. "Yes." I said. "He seems to be dyin", Wesley." "Looks that way, Didsey." "Is it the hang-over of them 13 bullet holes?" "Listen," I whispered. We had put our guests away In the old gospel tent for the night, Sodom not being metropolitan In its accommodations for the rarer sex. Just now from the tent came a cough that Arizona knows well; and, after the cough, a low laugh from Reeder, that game, nerveless laugh that I had I eard years before, when the poker lights were lit on the Rio Brava, and the man who sat next to the wall was safest. "I see," said Didsey softly. We went over to the tent again presently. Reeder was closer t the dark taaii I had thought. She was a brave, bright little thing, with a soft voice that set my memories strumming like a harp, and big eyes that lit my way back into the old epoch. I see that I'll have to screw up the tension, and repeat that this is Didsey's story. "If I had your manners, Wesley," Didsey whispered, when we were back in our own shack, "I'd never stop until 1 copped a girl like that .ur all my own, Ain't she a sunrise with triminin's?" "Shu's sure sweet Boine," I whispered. "Hut I ain't got no more style thap a blue shirt," he lamented. I might have told him that it Isn't style that gets to a white woman, but he would have wanted to know all about the origin of my theory. We were quiet a long time. I was thinking of the great, gamey daya when old Arizona was new, and the women came out from the east, as they always come to the edge of wars, for us savages to fight for their dances and drop weltering for their smiles. They meant a lot to me together—the man with the cough and the fair, lithe girl. It made me think that the west was old—old and going out—and that the east was still in her youth. All that the west stood for in her prime was in that dying man over in the gospel tent —cards that couldn't lie; drink that brought vine leaves but no madness; the gun that spoke first and last, and the smile that death-in-tv.e-dark couldn't twist or whiten. To the death bed of all this came a slip of a girl—out of the east. Didsey had never known a woman, hut the ghosts of all the f ces he had passed in trains and dreams and towns were gathered together that night by the presence over yonder. "What would you do for a woman like that, Didsey?" I apked, I had leaped aboard the very train of thoughts he was despatching. "I'd be good to her," he said. "I'd bring her dresses and nuggets and posies, an' take her where she wanted to go. 1 wouldn't let her do no work that would make her hot or soil her hands. ] wouldn't, boss none, an' I wouldn't drl»k—by Gawd, I wouldi5t drink Wesley!" The big.fellow sighed and threshed around in the dark. I knew he would do as he said. How that sort of treatment would work, I wasn't prepare3 to settle in my mind, being n sty on the eternal quandary. We had $6,000 between us, Didsey and I. He had planned to make it ten, through our pickings in the Mammon gorge, and then carom from port to port around the world, humble and contrite and "broke." A man has to have something to look forward to. Isn't it so? The cough reached us again acrosi the sand; then the laugh of the gambler, and the mtirmur of the woman's whispering. I craned my head out of the door. The candle was still burning under the canvas, and 1 saw her shadow bending forward. I could even tell that she had not unpinned her hnir. Presently I heard ner step on the Rtand. "Mr. Wesley, won't you come over to the tent quickly?" £>a« Reeder w a i getting out across the bay when I got there. He lntrotiudn't met her five minutes* alter the stage came in. Her lip wan quivering and the warm little hand that 1 took was trembling. "I'm glad we were able to get to him, Jessie," he said in his alow, harsh way. "This man stands white out of the old days—while 1 was waiting for you to grow up, girlie. The others w e dead, and there'll be big games on the griddle when 1 get there. Wesley, old trooper, I'm leaving $S0 and the gamest little woman that ever breathed the open. See her through, old-timer, see her through. You're a gallant pair." His voice waB spent, and 1 had to bend low to catch the l a s t When 1 saw the woman's face in the candle glow, I understood that she had also heard. She sat In the flap of the tent aad stared out at tile rising duy, her blue eyes red, her red lips tense. She was young and brave and beautiful. None of these was I. The thing which the wreck of the great Reeder dreamed and put in my brain—that she and I should take up the game together after a season—was not adjusted to reason nor beauty. I saw this in the gray of dawning. Even if she were minded, it would not be square to her. She was just beginning. "You will go back to the east, Jessie," I said. "What Bhall I do in the e a s t - alone?" "Life is better there—for a girl." "It Is not I have been there." I looked out upon the town, and heard the rumble of men's voices as they growled over their bacon in the shacks. Some peered out at us; others were already making their way wearily to their claims in the gorgo. The suffering few were waiting in front of Blinkey Gile's for him to open up his bar. Sodom had never looked so sodden to me, so sordid. 1 pointed to the town. "Lady, this is no place for you." "Do you think I care for the look of things?" she demanded, bending toward me. "Do you think I am not past being beguiled by white linen and polished leather? Does one who has passed babyhood in a foundlings' home, her childhood in a house of refuge, and her girlhood in a icold's kitchen, hunger after the life of the east when she has known love and tenderness out here among these mesas and mountains? . . . Dan Reeder, dying, was all that a man could be to me. Always, at the last, he told roe about you, 'There is gold up on the Mammon,' he would say. 'We will find Wesley there. Wesley is a man. He is all that you would like me to be, Jessie," he told me. 'He will take care of you when I go out, and the east need not frighten you, girlie.' " I waited until my nerve came back, and then I said: "Dan Reeder and I stood back to back when all the world was a laugh, lady. We drank the wine of youth together, and the devil let us alone, for the devil knew that the i smile would freeze and the red glow of living burn out. Reeder kept his heart, or you kept It for him. Mine has hardened alone—hard as the Diablo peaks yonder. I am not the Wesley that 'Handsome Dan' knew. All that is left over of ttiat old Wesley is bossing the job I'm on now. You have brain and beauty and youth. You'll not be lashed to any rotten mast, such aa I am. You'll go up to Tucson, and a man will see you there, the finest man I've known since Reeder and I took routes apart. He's bringing us hreakfast now. . . .

"You will make Guayama to-night and Tucson to-morrow afternoon," I said. "Don't leave Tucson until you get a letter tram me," She did not seem tq bear me. "I think you are wrong—I think you are all that Dan said—even now," I heard her whisper. "God love you," I muttered, and then, recollecting Didsey, I added, "both." They rode away Into the clearing north. 1 watched them grow pale in the watery sunlight and sink at last over the edge of the meBa.. Then I returned to my good friend In the gospel tent and set about his burial. Two days afterward the pony post took my letter on the way to Tucson. I had negotiated my pile in the meanwhile and put it on paper in her name. In the letter I told her that It was an old debt I owed Reeder—so that she surely would keep It. That was the least I could do, and the most. . . . In the nights, before I thought, I would reach for Didsey—and then lie awake thinking, thinking. I didn't want to see him again; and yet old Sodom was senseless without him. A man becomes set in his ways at 40. The fifth night he came into the shack and dropped down beside me. I held my breath, hoping that it was a ghost, but it was Didsey in the flesh. "Dreams go by contraries, Wesley," he said in a dry tone. "You must have knowed I wasn't the man." "Let's have a drink," I whispered, gripping his arm. "By the way," he said, when the candle was lit, "you'll have to stake me for a week or two. I left my wad at the bank for her. She wouldn't have taken it from me straight. Wesley, you must have knowed it wasn't me whom Reeder made a God out of—at the last. She didn't—" He halted. His face in the candlelight was that of a man at the edge of death from hunger and thirst vTen days afterward the pony post brought me back a letter from Tucson. She returned Didsey'a donation, as I knew she would. Mine she kept, since | it was an old debt to Reeder. I might tell the message she had for me in that letter, save that this is Didsey's story. 8taked Out a Sulphur Claim. Ninety per cent, sulphur is the find made by Capt.

He eloped with a much prettier girl. Annie, well enough pleased on the whole, xaUed on the trustee. "TTe come for my money,' she said. " 'What money?' the trustee demanded in surprise.

"I caught them," Hiller said, "for Prof. Phillips of the Wilkinsburg high school. He heard that 1 had caught a good many snakes in my day, and asked me to get him some for experimental purposes. I took them over to Wilkinsburg only to And that the professor had gone away on his vacation. I have two left on my hands, and would like to get rid of them." As soon as It WSB known that three snakes were loose every boy within a radius of half a mile became a selfconstituted committee of one to institute a search, and every grass plot or suggestion of a ravine was"" explored. Hiller calls himself .the champion snake-catcher of Pennsylvania. He is absolutely fearJesB in dealing with them. Removing the glass from the Improvised cage, he bravely thrust his hand within and grasped one of the reptiles Just back of its head and dragged it forth. He held it up until its tail touched the barn floor. "This fellow is about five feet eight inches long," he said. The snake threw out Its fangs and wriggled and twisted, but Hiller held it firm. "Aren't you afraid of getting bitten?" he was asked. "No, I have been handling snakes ever since I was a boy. And that goes back some, for I served In the civil war." "Did you catch all five at the same place?" Two of them 1 found together, and the others were caught each In a different place. I used a forked stick on four of them; the othet, I simply picked up." Six years ago Hiller killed four blacksnakes in Westmoreland county, each of which measured more than eight feet in length. He was picking blackberries when he encountered them. As long as 1865 he caught rattlesnakes at Chestnut. Ridge. Pa. At another time, while exploring for oil in Westmoreland county, he caught two rattlers and "bucked and gagged" them and removed their fangB in the field. David Richmond, now of Wilkinsburg, was employed with Hiller that year. They lived In a shanty. When about to go to bed one night Richmond, on turning down tbe bJanket [ discovered a monster rattlesnake colled up and defiant. He called to Hiller, and the men, each taking hold of two comers ef the blanket, captured It and brought it to Pittsburg This snake ha* nine rattles. Hiller says that years ago there 7.ere plenty of snakes on Squirrel Hill, and that he captured large numbers. One time he plowed -tp a rattler. He declares snake* may be found tbere now.

AB LA0OR SAVING FROM GRANARY $ulceh a Building Can B« Made,1 at Moderate Ch'%Vf Wtfo^MfeVlN Water Plant The accompanying drawings partly outline a building recently planned by the writer and now being erected In western Minnesota, writes F. L. Marsh in Farm, Stock and Home. It BENEFITS? W - t A t t f PLOWING WhenVBo' n-ei^BTe ffoT ITSTn'oSw Falls Land Freer from Injurious Insects— . Other Advantages. 5>^^&i A Handy Granary. Is small, but contains many things which save labor on the farm, and the capacity is very fully utilized. It is hardly possible to get as much saving of labor and time out of any other structure of the size as the one devoted to the purposes for which this will be used. A basement half the size of the building has cement floor and is made warm. In this is an air pressure water supply tank rilled from a well just outside the building. This carries sufficient pressure to throw water over any farm building. Water flows from the tank to the house, barn, yards, etc. All Is made frost proof. A bucket elevator runs to bottom of basement. This takes grain from the wagon and places It In any bin In the building, Grain flows to It from all bins, and can thus be stored, aired if damp, mixed, cleaned, sacked or ground without hand lifting, spouts connecting all parts. The second story Is used for grain storage and has a convenient stairway and good lighting and ventilation. More grain can be stored than with the common arrangement. In the first story fs a room for cleaning and grinding grain, shelling corn, etc. This has a wood floor. The engine room has space for gasoline engine and any machinery likely to cause dirt or dampness. Cream separator room Is plastered and finished with as little woodwork as possible. The floors of these two rejoins are of cem*nt a»d->Hf plUh«*%«o ^hey can be'ttttonM Witfra 4ta*>*«A"Chimney is provided. Two lines of shafting carry pulleys for driving»,ete**t»rt grinder, corn (BV R B. Rushing.) As much plowing « s possible should be done in the fall. The soil thus turned up is exposed to the frosts of winter and they penetrate it to a considerable depth. Soils that are covered with sod are not penetrated more than half aa deep by the frosts %a mm those soils that are recently plowed In the fall. K is desirable to loosen the earth below the depth to which the plow goes. This is especially valuable in clay soils. When ground is plowed well before the coming of frost the soil will-eften"be frozen to the depth of 20 Inches. This means that every particle to that depth ** moved to. a certain extent. The expansion of the particles of moisture pushes apart and breaks nprthe most retentive BOIIS. Clay soil that has been well 'drained ( is; 1» this way made more friable to ift g£«&t depth and when spring comes and the frost goes out of the soil it will be stv loose that air can penetrate to a great depth and chemical action be better. The manures in the surface soil are disintegrated and some of them are washed down to the depth the frost has gone. The result following is that the roots of the plants seek the cool, moist earth below if there be in it plenty of plant food and the plants supported by the roots are the mpre able to resist many droughts that may come in summer. Where droughts are common it is desirable to have plant roots go as deeply as possible. Fall-plowed land will also be, found freer from cutworms and other injurious insects In the spring. Some of these insects try to get below the frost line-or at least ^o a point where freezing and thawing In the early spring lg not possible. The plowing of the land turns up these insects, and, though they may be still covered by the soil, leaves the ground so loose about them that they freeze and in this way they are killed. While fall plowing does not entirely wipe out all the cutworms that may be in the ground, it will greatly lessen their number. This point alone is enough to justify the plowing of land in the fall.

Common Barrel Comes In Very Handy as Shown In th«*» Accompanying Illustration. Where a farmer has an oat chute running from the barn floor to the stable below he can very often use a barrel as illustrated \n the a c c o m panying sketch. I have found this plan to be very useful, says a writer in Prairie Farmer. I have round that it saves a person a good many steps in running up and down stairs to see that the oats chute is fulL About'all there is to the plan is to knock both' heads out of a barrel and set It over the opening of the chute. I think the sketch gives a pretty clear idea of how the idea is used. 8praylng Outfit. The air-cooled motor gasoline spraying outfit Is popular in some parts of the east. It is cheap power and highly satisfactory- Dr. Pierce, one of the most successful eastern growers, uses compressed air for power In spraying and likes the system very much. The compressed air system is especially desirable for hillsides because the cylinders may be mounted on trucks with low wheels and there is no danger of upsetting. Remove the Burdock. Any of the fields full of burdock? If this pest has a good start^lt will spread all over the farm by the end of another season. Easy to kill it. The burdock only lives a couple of years if frequently mowed off close to the ground, but the best way Is to take'an iron bar, drive it down deeply by the side of the root and pry the whole miserable thing out and burn it, root and branch. Every plant thus treated is dead and done for. Fruit and Poultry. Where fruit trees are grown along with poultry they mature more rapidly, begin hearing at least one yea* earlier, a t the same time the trees furnish comfortable wind breaks for the early chicks and cool sha/te for the late broods. Hence, fruit and poultry grown together are moat remunerative. Cut Weeda In Corn. It is a good plan to go over the field of corn after cultivation is done and .cut out atray weeds that escape the l cultivator. A good hand can make from 13 to $10 a day killing these big weeda in corn. - ^ . . _ _ .. Philadelphia. — Bedridden through long illness, Mrs. Nathan Tiekoff was a helpless prisoner in her room in the third story of the lire-swept houBe at No. 2531 Lombard street, until John Kold. a 19-year-old boy, fought his way through the Bmoke and flames to her side and carried her to safety. Mrs. Tiekoff. who is 60 years old, was awakened about three o'clock in the morning by smoke. £he tried to sit up in her bed and called to her sons and daughters sleeping in the room behind her. The children were sleeping too soundly to be roused and the aged woman WSB compelled to watch in agony the slow curl of smoke under the doorway and hear the roar of the flames eat the lower stairways. The smoke attracted the attention of a passerby and Kold and Harry Beckman broke down the front door. Kold knew of Mrs. Tiekoff s condition and hastily tying a handkerchief over his noBe and mouth he climbed the stairs. The door of Mrs. Tiekoff's room was locked, but the panels gave way under his shoulder. Mrs. Tiekoff was almost overcome, but Kold picked her up and started down stairs. The lower flight was almost burned but he jumped several of the gaps and gained the street. Mrs. Tiekoff was sent to the Polyclinic hospital, where she was revived. Meantime her sons, Jacob, aged 16, and Harry, seven years old, and her little 11-year-old daughter, were asleep In the third story back. The noise made when Kold ran upstairs awakened the children and Jacob decided not to try the stairs. Instead he "boosted" the two children to the roof of the house through a trap door. A -:- Try Thla hr November. - - Thousands upon thousands of f a m - ilies who have not been regular eaters of Quakar Oata^wiU begin on the first of November and eat Quaker Oatf once or twice every day for thirty days of this4 month; the result in good health and more strength and vigor will mean that every other month in the year will find them doing • the same thing. Try it! Serve Quaker Oat* plentifully and frequently for the thirty days of November and leave off a corresponding amount of meat and greasy foods. You'll get more health, more vigor and strength than you ever got in thirty days of any other kind of eating. While you are trying this see that the children g e t a full share. Quaker Oats is packed in regular slee packages and large uize family packages. 7 United State* Leads in Good Work. In Germany there are 99 public sanatoria for adult consumptives with 10,- 539 beds, besides 36 private sanatoria with 2,175 beds. In 18 sanatoria for children with tuberculosis there are 837 beds, a total of less than 13,000 beds. The United States has pro- | vided over 300 sanatoria with 15,000 beds, showing that this country is in the lead in the anti-tuberculosis war. France has only 12 sanatoria for adult consumptives, with a total capacity of 148 beds. All of these Institutions are private except the sanatorium at Agincourt. '"• "l%\ e *-. Do You Know Him?

The roof leaned toward the alley and the width is perhaps only three feet. Harry jumped first and then Jacob stood on the brink and swung the girl over. Then he jumped. They made their way to the street through a neighbor's trap door. When Beckman ran into the house his attention was centered upon Rose and Jane, aged 19 and 16, respective ly. Both girls were in their night gowns and tried to jump from the sec ond-story window to escape the fire Beckman persuaded them to try the stairs and, although their nightdresses caught once from sparks, the descent was accomplished.

MICHIGAN For Lame Back A n aching back is instantly relieved b y an application of Sloan's Liniment This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates — w i t h o u t rubbing—through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent a s well a s temporary relief. Here's the Proof. Mr. J A K E S C. L K S , of 1100 9th S t , B.E.,Washington, D.C.,writea: •'Thirty years ago I feU from a scaffold and a«rfu u l y Injured my back. I • uttered terribly a t t i m e s ; from the small of my back all around m y stomach was just as if I Lad been beaten w i t h a club. I used e r e r y plaster I could g e t with n o relief.

' < ' > • » - I1 „1 s "DRY- PJTCMERB BEST. HasebuJi will be mora attractive to umny lovera or the national gain* when there are no more "spltball" pitchers, says Cleveland Plain Dealer. They make the aport slower than It would he otherwise, and their unclean and repulalve way of pitching :auaes errors which would not be made IT the ball were not ao slippery when It gets to the fielders. Besides, the mere name of the "spltball" Is obnoxious to not a few men and women who are steady patrons of the most popular game In America. Fortunately there la reason to believe that the "spltters" are losing ground. They ure not so much In evidence as they were last year or the year before, and they do not count among the leading winners of the big leagues. Krause and Joss. Muffin and Coombs and Bender. Wlllet and Young. Summers, Clrcotte. Chece and Johnson, Powell and YVaddetl,'ta the American league, use the "spttball" little, or not at allin the Nattonal league, the moat famous pitchers, such as Mathewson, Hrown, Wlltse, Willis, ,Camnltz, Moren. Keulbach and Overall, do not rely on the "spltter" for their victories. There Is no room for doubt that the best dozen "dry" pitchers In the two big leagues are far superior to the most skillful 12 among those who use the "spttball." The notion which some persons may have entertained, that the American "Jack tar" Is an improvident, happy-go-lucky sort of chap, with whom money Is "easy come easy go," _w 111 have to be modified. An official statement from Washington furnishes proof that many of the enlisted men of the navy are sober, saving, and with an eye to the future. Not less than 27 per cent, have a part of their pay deposited where It Is accumulating Interest. Many of the sailors devote much of their pay to the support uf relatives. Recently a sailor come to his paymaster to exchange a navy check for $1,200 for money with which be proposed to invest in land in the west The American sailor of thq present day Is a sturdy, sober, self-respecting chap, and often he has money in the bank with which to back up his good character. Qpeer stories come from Morocco, and none has been queerer than that relating to Sultan Mulal Hafid and his treatment of El Roghl, the pretender to the throne. It has been alleged that the sultan kept El Roghl prisoner in a narrow cage in which he was exposed to the multitude and subjected to gross insults and Indignities. This proceeding evoked a protest trom the European powers, and the sultan "let up" on the prisoner. Now comes the tale that the man in the" cage was not El Roghl at all, but an Impostor who Impersonated the pretender, while the latter was in collusion with the sultan, to whom he paid liberal sums of money, and thus secured immunity from trouble. Dislike of the cigarette has often been manifested by fathers, mothers and guardians, and sometimes figures in the disposition of legacies. Thus a young man named Acker, of Atlantic Highlands, N. J., has been left 125. 000 by his grandfather en condition that for the next 24 years Acker shall refrain from indulging In cigarettes or participating in dissipation. To get the regular allowance under the will Acker must at stated periods make affidavit that he has complied strictly with the terms. That ought to be a pretty fair test of a young man's preference. The Rum of $25,000 should be an acceptable offset to deprivation "of cigarette smoking. In Russia the large landed proprietors are now using farm machinery, and demonstrating that when modern methods of agriculture are generally adopted in the czar's domain there will be a large increase In the world's food supply. The farmers who use machinery raise 2,088 pounds of rye and 2,196 pounds of winter wheat per dessiatine (2.7) acres in 1908, against 1,692 and 1.836 pounds respectively raised by the peasants who adhere to their old and crude methods. There ought to be a good field for the sale of tarm implements In Russia with showings of this kind to strengthen tiie arguments of agents. Distance lends enchantment to a ooinet E SAY THE STATE TEACHER8 SPEAK OUT AGAINST CIGARETTES AND FRATERNITIES. LARGE FOREST PRESERVE Varioue Matters of Note and Comment About Interesting Things In .Our Own State. The Michigan state teachers' convention, which was held in Saginaw, came to an end with the submission of the report of the committee on resolutions. This committee recommended medical inspection for the public schools, declared for support of the enforcement of the anti-cigarette law, that the organisation and growth of secret societies in high schools should be stopped, approved industrial training and recommended Its gradual extension to both city and country schools; commended the work of the legislative committee in the securing of new school laws and suggested for its further activity the passage of « law defining the power of city school superintendents, fixing a minimum salary for all teachers and a minimum term of nine months in all schools, city and rural. It also declared for a more equitable distribution of the primary school fund. Guarding the Preserve. Over 40,000 acres of land have been sat aside in Iosco, Oscoda and Alcona counties for a forest preserve, and several well known rangers will be employed by the state in conjunction with the government at Washington, who will reside on the land to keep fires from spreading and look out for trespassers. Several thousand acres of seedlings of the different pine varlties will be set out and watched carefully, and the present timbered area will be carefully looked after. Houses will be built by -the government for the forest rangers to live in. distributed about the tract so the land can be all covered by the hunters. MICHIGAN ITEMS. Hagte Charged With Forgery. Through a warrant which has been issued for the arrest of Mark L. Hagle, the defaulting treasurer of Oxford village, charging him with forgery, a new phase o fthe case has developed in the financier's numerous alleged methods of duping honest peo pie. The warrant was issued on complaint of Mrs. Frank Verran, the widow of Hagle's former partner, who was also associated with him in the operation of the bank at Hadley. Mrs. Verran charges that Hagle came to her with a request that she buy a note for $700, ostensibly signed by M. O. Morse, to whom the banker and automobile dealer had sold an automobile. Hagle represented that he needed the money and that Morse's funds were tied up in a certificate of deposit which he did not wish to break Into. Mrs. Verran alleges that she paid him $700 for the note and took It to Morse when the revelations of Hagle's misdealings became known. Morse, she says, told her that he had paid Hagle with a check for the auto and that the bote was a forgery. The liabilities are $10,000 and the assets $5,600. Wholesalers Are Foxy. Only 20 foreign liquor dealers have paid their license fee to the state, as required under the Warner-Cramton liquor law, and Aud.-Gen. Fuller is wondering whether that is all the outside liquor firms doing business in this state. He has been informed that there are about 100 such firms having agents traveling over the state, but the law confers no authority on him to investigate, that matter being left to the local authorities. There is a strong suspicion that ssme firms have delayed taking out a license until Nov. 1 in order to save the fee for the first two months the law was In effect. Each agent of a foreign liquor firm is required to have with him a copy of the license granted his firm, and it remains for the local officials to ascertain whether any agents are making their towns without these credentials. Thayer Sentenced. Lying on a couch from which he was too ill to arise, Claude L. Thayer, aged 27, who shot and killed his wife and then attempted suicide last July, was sentenced in circuit court at Lansing to serve a life sentence in Jackson prison. Thayer's illness is the result of the bullet he fired Into his head, and he has been fn a precarious condition for many weeks. It Waa 43 to 0.

F A T A L R E S U L T S F E A R f i D Things Going On in Various Parts of the World of Major and Minor interest Briefly Told. Eugene A. Byrne, left tackle of the Army eleven, waa severely It not fatally injured at West Point in a football game with the team from Harvard. Byrne, whose father saw the accident, was acting captain of the West Pointers for the day and was playing hard, and* effectively throughout. It waa In the second half that he was hurt, and after the seriousness of the injury became fully known the game waa stopped and the teams hurried to their dressing rooms. The score was nine to nothing in favor of Harvard. About haJf of the second half had been played when Byrne was hurt. It was feared that his neck was broken when he was carried from the field on a stretcher. Harvard was In the thick of a ripping attack when* the play took place in which the accident occurred. A forward, pa*s had gained 10 yards; carrying the ball into West Point territory and rushing tactics were taken up. 'There came a sharp, compact plunge on the left side of West Point's line In which Minot, the Harvard fullback, carried the ball. The play came at Byrne and he dived to stop It. From accounts given by those who were close enough to the tangle of men while the scrimmage was on, Byrne missed the tackle and-Immediately afterward met with the brow or collision which struck him dow^u When the scrimmage ceased Byrne was stretched en the ground. He could not rise when hie fellow players went to his assistance, and Dr. Hanna, of the Army, hurried up. "I can't;; move," murmured the prostrate player. The* was all he said, for in another moment he had sunk into unconsciousness. Other Army doctors hurried out to take part in reviving) the injured man, as well as Dr. NlchpJLley of Harvard, who has had lots ol experience on the football field. Byrne, it waa found, was wholly paralyzed. He had remained conscious just long enough to discover that he could riot move; The doctors set about to restore respiration, as it was seen that the player was hardly breathing. Dr. Hanna worked the player's arms back and forth but with no encouraging response from the patient, who was finally removed. Midshipman Wilson, the crack quarterback of the Naval academy team, was injured two weeks ago in the game with Villa Nova, when he suffered a fracjjire of the fifth vertebra, and "his coli action* slrtce has been such that his medical attendents have" not dared operate upon him. His injury is, apparently, similar to that suffered today by Cadet Byrne in the West Point-Harvard game. The Naval aoademy people were deeply affected when the news of Cadet Byrne's injury reached here, and as soon as It became known that the Injury was serious, a telegram from the brigade as a whole was sent, expressing sympathy with the corps of cadets at West Point. As the result of injuries received in a football game in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon Michael Burke, 24 years old, is in a critical condition at a hospital. Burke was fullback on one of two scrub teams of the Pennsylvania Railroad Young Men's Christian association and received a fracture of the skull in a scrimmage. War Is On.

This convention will be in session at the same time as the annual convention of the Lakesto- ths-Gutf Deep Waterways' association. Conservative people believe that the time has come for definite action looking to the conservation of the na tion's great natural resources, and it will be the desire of those who will*be in control of the New Orleans convention to have action taken that will put the principles of conservation into practical effect at the earliest possible time. •est -r**" T H r tea?

Allen has a strong admiration for soldiers. He seldom misses a military parade and his childish fancy has so idealized the boys in blue that he considers them little short of perfection. Not long ago his mother took him to see an elderly friend of hers—a Bweetfaced, Bilver-haired woman, who Is the widow of a veteran of the civil war. Before arriving at the house Mrs. Parker told Allen this bit of her friend's history, and consequently the boy accorded this beautiful woman the moat reverent attention. In discussing a certain current subject of literary interest the two women had a mild difference of opinion, and Allen's regard for brass buttons Would not long permit him to listen in Bilence.

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Mesne 8lckness, But Postum Always Means Health. Those who have never tried the experiment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happiness can learn much from the experience of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: **I drank coffee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of intslfl producing days of discomfort nights of sleeplessness. -T-trU up the use of coffee entirely, but fottff ft hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. "It was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years. I improved immediately after I left off coffee and took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and other troubles all of which were due to coffee.

The three were tossed upon an uninhabited island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake, shunned on the boat, because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing for the hand of Mils Leslie. Wlnthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which he was •cored by Blake. All three constructed hats to shield themselves from the sun. They then feasted on cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss Leslie faced an unt) leabant situation. Blake recovered hit surveyor's magnifying glass, thus Insuring nre. He started a jungle fire, killing a l a r g e leopard and smothering several cubs. In the leopard's cavern they built a small home. They gained the cliffs by burning the bottom of a tree until It fell agalhit the. heights. /The trio secured eggs from the1 cUffi. Iktiss Leslies White kkir.t Was decided Upon as a signal- Miss Leslie made a dress from the1 leopard skin. Overhearing & coriversHtloil between Blake and Wlnthrope, Miss LeaUC became frightened. Wlnthrope became ill with fever. Blake was poisoned by a fish and almost died. Jackals attacked the camp that night, but were driven off by Genevieve. Blake constructed an animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour the trio discovered honey and oysters. Miss Leslie was attacked by a poisonous snake. Blake killed it and saved its poison to kill game. For the second time Wlnthrope was attacked by fever. He and Blake disagreed. The latter made a Strong door for the private compartment of Miss Leslie's cave home. A terrible storm raged that night. Wlnthrope stole into her room, but she managed to swing her door closed In time. Wlnthrope was badly hurt. He died the following morning. The storm trfte down their distress flag, so a new one was swung from a bamboo pole. Miss I^esiie helped in covering ^ lnthrope's grave with stones. Genevieve took a strong liking to Blake. CHAPTER XXIII.—Continued. MIBS Leslie loosed away, visibly distressed, She had not been reared after the French method, Young at she was, she had fluttered at wil about the borders of the garden of Vice, knowing well that the gaudy ^blossoms -were lures to entice one Into the pitfall, Vet never before had she caught so clear a glimpse of the slimy depth*. "That's it**; growled Blake. "Throw toe down cold juBt because I'm Square enough to tell you straight out. You make me tired!

"That's better than letting you risk two-to-one chances on feeding the sharks." "But you'd be risking it!" Blake ottered a short harsh laugh. "What's the difference?" he paused a moment; then added, with grim humor: "Anyway, they'll have earned a *neal by the time they get me chewed up." "You sha'n't go!" "Oh, 1 don't know.

And now, can't you see how ttfefoing to he ten times worse for -with you so altogether heme^—" He stopped short, iHshed,' and stammered lamely: "I—I didn't mean to say that!" She looked down, no less embarrassed. "Please let us talk of something else," she murmured. "It has been such a pleasant morning, until you— until we began this silly discussion." "All right, all right! Only mop up the dewdrops and we'll turn on the sun machine. I really didn't mean to rip out that way at all. But, you see, the thing's been rankling in me ever since we came aboard ship at the Cape, and Wlnthrope and Lady Rayrose had '• my seat changed so I couldn't see you— Not that I hold anything against them now—" "Mr. Blake, t suppose you know that this African coast is particularly dangerous for women. So far I have veacaped the fever._ But you yourself HE palm grove Btood under the lee of the ridge on a stretch of bare ground. Other than seaward, the open space was hemmed in by grass Jungle, interspersed with clumps < of thorn-brush. On the north side a Jutting corner of the tall, yellow spear-grass curved out and around, with the point of the hook some 50 yards from the palms. Elsewhere the distance to the jungle was nearly twice as far. Blake dropped the bag and his weapons, flung down his hat and started up a palm shaft. The dawnpointing bristles of his skin trousers aided his grip. Though the lofty .^crown of the palm was swaying in the derstood to've been sub rosa, so it'tr' w jn d he reached the top and was down again before Miss Leslie had arranged the contents of the lunch bag "Guess you're not extra hungry," he remarked. She made no response. "Mad, eh? Well, toss me the little knife. Mine has got too good a meatedge to spoil on these husks." "It was very kind of you to climb for the nuts, and the wind blowing so hard up there," she said, as she handed over the penknife. "I am not angry. It..is only that I feel tired and depressed. I hope I am not going to be—" "No; you're not going to have the fever, or any such thing! You're played out, that's all. I'm a fool for bringing you so far. You'll be all right after you eat and rest. Here; drink this cocoa milk." She drained the nut, and, upon his insistence, made a pretense at eating. He was deceived until, with the satisfying* of his first keen hunger, he again became observant. "Say. that won't do!" he exclaimed. "Look at your bowl. You haven't nibbled enough to keep a mouse alive." "Really, I am not hungry. But I am resting." "Try another nut. I'll have one ready in two shakes." He caught his hat, which was dragging past in a downward eddy of the wind, and weighted it with a cocoanut He wedged another nut between his knees and bent over it, tearing at the husk. It took him only .a 1¾¾ moments Jtp ftUJflJJje £ber from the end and gouge open the germ hole. He held o«t the nut and glanced up to meet her smile of acceptance. , She was staring past him, her eye* wide with terror, and the color last receding from her face. •'What ,ha~n„ Mother snake?" he demanded, ,twtoti»* warily, about to glare »ai;th#.i«fOuad Ikrfilud. bliu. MThef*T-fPvef An the grass!" she whispered. "It looked out at me with terrible, savage eyes!" "Snake?—that far off?" "No, nol1—a monster—a huge, fierce beaaU" "Beast?** echoed Blake, grasping his bow and arrows. "Where is he? Maybe only one of these African buffaloes How'd he look?—hornB?" "I—I didn't see any. It was all shaggy, and yellow like the gratis, and terrible eyes—Oh!" The girl's scream was met by a ferocious, snarling roar, so deeu and prolonged that the air quivered aud the very ground seemed to shake. "God!—a lion!" cried Blake, the hair on bis bare head bristling like a startled animal's. He tamed squarely about toward the ridge, his bow half drawn. Had the lion shown himself then Blake would have shot fin the instant. As It was, the beast "JVjmatned behind the screening border of grass, where he could watch his intended quarry without being seen in turn. The delay gave Blake time for reflection. He spoke sharply, as it were biting off his words: "Hit out. I'll stop the bluffer." "I can't Oh. I'm afraid!" Again the hidden beast gave voice to his mighty rumbling challenge. Still he did not appear, and Blake attempted a derisive jeer: "Hey, there, louder! We've not run yet! It's all right, little woman. The skulking sneak is trying to bluff us. 'Fraid to come out if we don't stampede. He'll make off when he finds we don't scare. Lions never tackle men in the daytime. Just keep cool a while. He'll—" "Look!—there to the right!—I saw him again! He's creeping around! See the grass move!" "That's only the winrf. ft eddies down—God! he is stalking around. Trying to take us from behind—curse him! He may get me, but I'll get him, too—the dirty sneak!" The blood had flowed back into Blake's face, and showed on each, cheek in a little red patch. His broatf chest rose and fell slowly to deep respirations; his eyes glowed like balls of white-hot steel. He drew his bow a little tauter and wheeled slowly to keep the arrow ])©inted at the slight wave in the grass which marked the stealthy movements of the lion. Miss Leslie, more terrified with every added moment of suspense, cringed around, that she might keep him between her and the hidden beast. Minute after minute dragged by. Only a man of Blake's obstinate, sullen temperament could have withstood the strain and kept cool. Even he found the impulse to leap up and run all but irresistible. Miss Leslie crouched behind him, no more able to run than a mouse with which a cat has been playing. Once they caught a glimpse of the sinuous tawny form gliding among the leafless stems of a thorn clump. Blake took quick aim; out the outlines of the beast were indistinct and the range long. He hesitated, and the opportunity was lost. Yard by yard they watched the slight swaying of the grass tops which betrayed the cautious advance of the grim stalker. The beast did not roar again. Having failed to flush his game, he was seeking to catch them off their guard, or perhaps was warily taking stock of the strange creatures, whose like he had never seen. Now and then there was a pause, and the grass tops swayed only to the down-puffs of the heightening gale At such moments the two grew rigid, watching and waiting in breathless suspense. They could see. as distinctly as though there had been no screening grass, the baleful eyes of the huge cat and the shaggy forebody as the beast stood still and glared out at them. Then the sinuous wave would start on again around the grass border, and Blake would draw in a de?p breath and mutter a word of encouragement to the girl: "LooV, now—the dirty sneak! Trying to give us the creeps, is he? I'll creeps him! 'Fraid to show his pretty mug!" Not until the beast had circled half around the glade did his purpose flash upon BTake. With the wariness of all savage hunters, the animal had marked out the spur of jungle on the north side, where he could creep closer to his quarry before leaping from cover. "The damned sneak!" growled Blake. "You there, Jenny?" She could not speak, but he heard her gasp. "Brace up, little woman! Where's! your grit? You're out of this deal, | anyway. He'll choke to death swallowing me— But say; couldn't you j manage to shin up a palm, 20 feet or so, and hang on for a couple of minutes?" "I—can't move—I am—" "Make a try!

'Come; fciake 1i tyuAl He's around tfiV turn and getting nfterer every step»" ' -* > "I igio'WTom—thertl is no ne«d that both of us— You climb op—" He turned about as the meaning of her whisper dawned upon him. Her eyes were shining with the ecstasy of self-sacrifice. It was only the glance of an instant; then he was again facing the iuogle. "God! You think I'd do that!" She made np reply. There was • pause. Blake—crouched on one knee, tense and alert—waited until the sinister wave was advancing into the point of the Incurved jungle. Then he spoke, In a low, even tone: "Feel If my giaaa is there." Her hand reached around and pressed against the fob pocket which he had suwu in the belt of his skin trousers. "Right. Now slip my club up under my elbow—big end. Lick on the nose'll stop a dog or a bull. It's a chance." She thrust the club under his right elbow and he gripped It against his side. At that moment the Hon bounded from cover, with a roar like a clap of thunder. Blake sprang erect. The beast checked himself in the act of leaping, and crouched with his great paws outstretched, every hooked claw thrust out ready to tear and mangle, in two or three bounds he could have leaped upon Blake and crushed him with- a single stroke of his paw. As he rose to repeat his deafening roar it seemed to Blake that he stood higher than a horse—that his mouth gaped wide as the end of a hogshead. And yet the beast stood hesitating, restrained by brute dread of the unknown. Never before had any animal that he had hunted reared up to meet his attack In this strange manner. "Lie flat!" commanded Blake; "lie flat, and don't move! I'm going to call his bluff. Keep still till the poison gets in Its work. I'll keep him busy long as I can. When it's over, hit out for home along the beach. Keep inside the barricade, and watch all you can from the cliffs. Might light a fire up there nights. There's sure to be a steamer before long—" "Tom!" she cried, struggling to her knees—"Tom!" But he did not pause or look around. He was beginning to circle slowly to the left across the open ground, in a spiral curve that would bring him to the edge of the jungle within 30 y^.rds of the lion. There was red now showing in his eyes. His hair was bristling, no longer with fear, but with sheer brute fury; his lips were drawn back from the clenched teeth; his nostrils distended and quivering; his forehead wrinkled like that of an angry mastiff. His look was more ferocious than that of the snarling beast he faced. All the primeval in him was roused. He was become a man of the Cave Age. He went to meet death, his mind and body aflame with fierce lust to kill. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Work and Life. I was much impressed by what the head of a large and prosperous bourgeois French family said to an American friend: "During the day we are all busy with our various avocations. The evenings are devoted to more serious things—reading, music, conversation, society." This is surely the normal point of view of a civilized man living in a civilized society. In Itaiy, where social life, as in France, is taken somewhat more seriously than with us, it is usual for the women prominent in society to receive in the evening. One evening a week (sometimes two, in a lew cases every evening) is set apart for receiving the friends and habitues of the house. In Rome, where society is more crystallized, where the social game is better played than in any community I know, one or two of the great houses are open to visitors on every evening of the week.—Maud Howe, in Harper's Bazar. Geographical Distinctions. Inhabitants of the Isle of Wight speak of 'going to England" when they leave their own fragment of thfe kingdom. A patriotic Cornishman also "goes to England" when he crosses the Tarnar. Similarly inhabitants of the Balkan peninsula talk of "going to Europe" when they leave their own corner of the continent—in curious contrast with the people of Great Britain, who regard themselves as both of and in "Europe," and it Is only "the continent" that they visit. There is an old story of a Scottish minister who prayed for a blessing upon "the Inhabitants of Great and Little Cumbrae (islands in the Firth of Clyde) and the adjacent islands of Great Britain and Ireland." Massachusetts people speak of going "down east" when they start for the Maine coasL The man who Is forced to eat his own words soon loses his appetite. ..» All Who good health, with >U blessings, must understand, quite clearly, that it Involves the question ol right living with all the term impUesr ~ With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of revie&iiou, -of eujoyroent, of contemplation and of effort maybe made to contribute to living aright.

We sat upon the porch -of the biggest liar in the southwest but one and listened to him. The sun was dropping slowly behind the shoulder of t h e San Francisco peaks, and the cold mountain twillght~for it Is cold there oven ia, June- -was upon us. , ^. Conversation t u r n e d ^you- trflttt, whereon pur bout said much. "Do you know a man named Wllkin- Bon on; the Quray agency?" asked someone. "Don't talk to me about Wilkinson," the old man grunted out between puffs of his pipe. "HJm an' me camped three' weeks once on the headwaters of the Hassayampa—" * He fell into silence. • " W e l l ? " "An' anybody what's ever drunk the •waters of the Hassayampa cau't tell the truth. "I never drunk the waters there," he added basely., "I had other stuff to drink; but Wilkinson, he must 've drunk a barrel—nigh foundered hisaelf. Don't make no difference though; everybody believes him, an' he tells 'em the wust kind o* lies an' says I said it." Somebody asked a question. . " ' C o u r s e I '11 tell ye." His eyes twinkled as he looked at the group on the porch. ' "An" this here ain't a He. It 's the solemn truth, an* it 's got a moral that ye can see fur yerself. You know that timber-wolf skin that 's on the dinin'-room floor? Well, just about five year ago I killed that wolf up on the Black mesa, an' I skinned him an' brought it home. T h a t night t h e ambulance came in, takin' the Bew commandiu' officer from the rail- .Toad to Fort Jewell. There was quite a party of 'em an' they was right hungry." Remembering his qualities as a host we one and all licked our lips, knowing what that party must have had. "He was a man I'd knowed 25 year before, when he was a lieutenant, an' we set up till midnight talkin' over ole days when Grey Fox pushed the Apaches to the aidge o' the mesa an' made the country tit fur white men. While we was yarnin' he seen that wolf-hide an' he says: 'Guml' he says, 'where 'd you git that? I 'd like to git one just fur look's sake,' " 'You can often git 'em about here n o w / I says, unthlnkin' an' meanin' only to be polite. "Nex' mornin' I got up early 'tendin' to go down to the creek to get some trout fur the ole man. When I started out o' the door, I tripped over that blamed hide an' fell into a bucket o' kindlin' wood, an' knocked enough skin off 'n my shins to make a second lieutenant o' infantry, 'Hang that hide!' I says, an' kicked it off 'n the porch. When I come back it was just 'bout daylight, an' that skin looked so natural lyin* under a bush that blamed if it did n't make me Jump. That put the idee into my fool head; BO I took the skin an' cut a little saplin' an' stuck it in the ground just behind a big pine log. Then I took the skin an' stretched it over the saplin' so the line o' the back just showed over the log. To make it look more natural, I sticks the nose an' fore paws out beyond the end o' the log an' puts a dead chicken under the paws. When I gits back on the porch, blamed if I did n't want to take a shot at it myself. But I did n't. I went an' knocked at the major'B door. " 'Who is it?' says he. " 'Me,' says Jp-'an* if you want, to git i gray wolf come down Tjuick/ I says. "With that I h s a r s the bed shake, in* then h e like to knocked the chiny arnaments oft 'n the dinin'-room mantel jumpin' out o* bed. He was in his bare feet an' he only had on some kin' af a white shimmy thing that come iown to his knees. Gosh! but he looked odd. "I shoved my 45:90 Winchester into his hand an' says: 'Come on; he 's after&the chickens.* "When the o l e m a n seen that wolf's back, he says: 'Gad! man, he's as big as a' ox!' " 'Sneak down in the grass an' shoot him in the back,' says I. "I wish you could 've seen him. There was a heavy frost on the grass an' the ole man just wallered in it. "Bime-by he gets a good place an' he says: 'How fur away ia it, Jim?* "'Sixty yards,' says I; 'shoot, man, shoot!' "With that she went off, an' I seen the major stan' up an' pull down the tail o' his shimmy, an' look kin* o' funny. " T)od blame it!' says h e ; look at t h a t ! ' "The bullet just natchally throwed that skin two feet in the air. The ole man took one look a t it an' than looks At, me. I was leanin' up agin the porch post holdin' my sides an' laspin'. " Y o u got him/ Bays I; 'you got him first shot. You skinned him alive.' "'Got hell!' aays he. 'Darn you an' your fool jokes! I'll git square with you, Jim, if I got to lay. fur you like 2u h e n s / "Then he went In the house. Was he mad? He was so blamed mad that he et four bony-tails far trout an' nt*ver noticed it. a "While they was waltin' fur the ambulance to come roun', the ole lady was satttia" in the front room talkin to met Bime-by she picks up a pack o' cyards that was layin" on the table— odd?things they wan. Made by the Injuns out o/ honsehide scraped so blamed thin you could see through 'em an" painted with colored earth. "I tole her they was a' ole pack o* Spanish cyards over 200 year old, an' that they was the only pack like that in the country. Then, aiinin' some at squarin' myself with her on account o' the major's shootin' trip in the mornin', I says, 'If you *d like to have 'em, it '11 be doin' me a favor." "She Jumps a t it sudden, an' she packs away them playin' cyards in her side-pack quicker 'n an Apache 'd stow away hot bread, an' that 's some quick. "Then the ambulance come up an' they all hit the trail, an' the major kin' o' grins at me when I says: 'How about the wolf skin?' -*You keep that,"'Bays he, 'to think o' me on.' "Sometime after that I was east. Went to Chicago to see about sellin' some cattle, an' one day I seen in the paper that the colonel was stationed at Fort Sheridan, so I thinks to myself I'll just drap in on him. So I called him up on the telephone an' savs: *ColoneIj the ole gray wolf's come to see you an' wants to smoke th« peace-pipe.' " ' W h o is it?' says he, kin' o' sharp. " ' 'Member the gray wolf that you skinned alive at the first shot?' 1 says. "'Good Lord!' says he. 'Come out, Jim, an' we'll smoke that pipe over a drink.' "It warn't till I'd been there four days that I noticed that whenever I met any o' the ladles o' the garrison they'd dodge an' scurry fur cover worse'n a skeered quail. When this'd happened four or five times, I begun to think that somethtn' was up. So one night, when me an' the ole man was settin* in* his den, I says: 'Look here, colonel, looks to me like I'm about as popular here as a skunk at a church social. What's the matter?' " 'All your imagination,' says he. 'Come into the drawin' room where the ladies is.' "There was about ten of 'em in there playin' bridge, an' the doctor's wife had them durn horse-hide cyards in her grub-hooks an' was askin' questions about 'em. The ole lady turns to me an' says: 'Here's the very man who can tell you all about 'em.' "I didn't say nothin'; 'cause I remembered that I'd told the ole lady some •Wio' of a lie about them cyards, an' to save my life I couldn't 've told what I did tell her, an* I didn't want to make myself out a liar before strangers, so I just kept my trap shut. " 'Tell 'em,' said the colonel, edgln' up to me. 'It's all among friends, Jim. Tell 'em,' he says. " 'Go on, colonel,' says one of 'em, squawkin' out. " 'Well, you all know that he give 'em to my wife,' says he, 'an' you've all noticed that they're some peculiar in the materials what they're made of.' *"Oh, yes, yen,* says they; 'never seen anything like it.'

"An', bein' a plum fool an' thlnkta' in nay fool heart that the ole man seeln* my baahtulneas was tryln' to help me out o' my fix, I went ahead an' told 'em an' told it good.

'He was captured when he was a boy, so he didn't know no better; but, when they carried off the body o" that poor woman, poor ole Jim, he took an' skinned her an' made the skin up into them playin'-cyards, an' he cuts off her long yellow hair/ says he, producin" one from behind his back. " 'Poor ole Jim/ says he. 'I'm sorry, ole man, this come out; but you've got your pardon, an' it's not certain you killed the woman anyhow.' "Man! Man!

"I was so durned mad I couldn't say a word; so I pulled out fur my bed, an' 1 shore cusses the ole man. "When I went down the officers' line to the cyar—would you believe it?—every.durned person cut me dead.

There was a pause, ended by a glass being thrust under the old man's nose. "Drink," we said; "this Js not from the Hassayampa. These be the waters of Truth." • w * Queer Method of Livelihood. "Almost every day," remarked a savings bank cashier to a friend, "I come across some new illustration of the way dim#s and quarters count up when it comes to saving money. "For years 3 quiet looking man has been depositing his savings with us, but I never knew his business until I happened to ask him the other day if he did not think times were getting better. Then he told me that ten years ago he had been obliged to give up his trade as a sign painter and had taken to painting the numbers of houses on the stone steps, for which he charged 25 cents. He kept a list of the houses and next, year he went round a 1 offered to touch up the numbers for ten cents.

"I used to walk the floor worrying about how I was going, to pay my landlord," said Mr. Tufluck. "I hope you have quit all that?" replied th* optimist. "I had to.

An incident in animal life which possibly may never be duplicated occurred a few weeks ago on the estate of George W. Watson at Eastern Point, says the New London Day. Soon after Mr. Watson arrived at his Eastern Point residence a fawn was born in the grass land around the residence. During the winter, of course, there was nothing to disturb the deer and they wandered at will around the estate. When it was time to cut the grass a mowing machine was put to work ani. the sharp knife of the mower found the little fawn while it was cuddled up in the herbage. One leg was cut quite badly— so badly that the baby deer was unoMe t o get away. It was taken oare offcy-Mr. Watson and the injured leg was treated. The little chap seemed to under-1 stand that it was in good hands and responded to the treatment. It wag left where found and each day the mother doe came along and attended to the' provision of food, the youngster gaining health and strength dally. Now the little chap has fully recovered and Is able to fight its own. life battle. Mr. and Mrs. Watson are well pleased to know that the fawn they cared for is able to follow ita mother and enjoy the freedom of Groton woods. It has beeri accorded to very few even those who spend much time In the wilds, to see baby deer nurtured as Mr. and Mrs. Watson saw their little pet. Assurance.

"Get to the hospital as quick as you can." The horses were lashed Into a gallop and the wife of the dying man watched at the curb until tlie carriage was out of sight. A few minutes before nine o'clock the vehicle dashed up in fro.it of the hospital. One of Kosharwsky's friends leaped out and ran into the receiving office. He told the clerk that there was a man outside in a carriage who needed an immediato operation. One of the staff of surgeons went out to the"yehicle and on examining the man's pulse found that he was dead. "The man is dead," exclaimed the doctor. "We had better notify the police." Refusing to believe the medical man's word, the carriage with its dead occupant was driven to the Hahnemann Medical college, about a block away. Here Dr. MacLean n.ade an examination and for the Becond time the man was pronounced dead. Half an hour later the carriage with the corpse in it stopped in front of the Maxwell street police station, Just one block from where Kosharwsky lived. The four men who had ridden with him in the race of ceath went into the station and reported the matter to Sergeant McGeehan. The body was then taken to the home of the decedent. SNAKE MASTER OF A SHIP Big Reptile Comes Out of Hold of the Peruviana and the Crew Run. Philadelphia. Pa.—Whore a big snake came from which made its ap pearance in the pantry of the British steamship Peruviana as the vessel came up the Delaware river puzzled Capt. Jones, master of the Peruviana, and all the others on board. The crew say that hissing sounds had been heard in the vessel's hold all of the way across the Atlantic, but no one could be induced to go below and investigate. The first tangible evidence that there was a menagerie below was secured when the snake appeared in the galley and wanted things his own way. The steward did not think there was any reason for having two bosses in the culinary department and killed the snake. The Peruviana came here from Lulea, where anake« are uncommon.

President Taft, Vice-President Sherman, Speaker Cannon, governors of th Mississippi valley states, innumerable senators and representatives and a mighty throng of private citizens who believe in the big river project are here and all urge that it be undertaken and carried to a speedy conclusion. President Taft Promises Support. President Taft, who arrived in New Orleans escorted by a great flotilla, after an illuminating trip down the Mississippi river from St. Louis, landed from the lighthouse tender Oleander about eight o'clock Saturday morning, and was driven to his hotel through streets that were canopied with magnolia branches, palmettoes and southern moss, and everywhere entwined in the decorations were the mottoes "Fourteen Feet Through the Valley" and "River Rate Regulation Is Rate Regulation." At the Athenaeum in the afternoon the president' aroused a storm of cheers by promising that if the 14-feet project proved feasible and advisable, the present administration would favor the issuance of government bonds to defray the cost. Not for a "Pork Barrel." At the same time Mr. Taft made it plain that he would not stand for any plan to make a "pork barrel" of the project. He said he opposed any such general bond issue of $500,000,- 000 or $1,000,000,000 for waterways Improvement, the money to be cut up and parceled out to different sections. He declared that the improvement of waterways had been carried forward in a haphazard fashion in • - i* '• * i?

Sharman, Toe, Is for 1U *'- Vice-President JameB S. Sherman has brought to the people of/the middle west the message of the east, promising enthusiastic support of the waterway program. "We people of the east depend on your people of the west," said he. "When' we help you, we help ourselves, so there is every reason why we should do all in our power for you, as soon as we realize what you wan£ and why you want it." Speaker Cannon and Secretary of War Dickinson are no less outspoken in their assurances of support, and many senators and representatives, among them Senator Lorimer of Illinois, the'father of the deep waterway - « • » •jsr -rk . * * ?

Kavanaugh Opens Convention. William K. Kavanaugh of Missouri, president of the association, called the convention to order Saturday morning and set forth briefly the aims and plans of the organization. He said the deep waterway work is now in this condition: 1. The sanitary district of Chicago has built the deep waterway, practically to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and $GO,000,000 have been spent thus far on the work. 2. The entire route of the lakes-tothe- gulf deep waterway from Joliet to New Orleans, through the Des Plalnes river, the Illinois river and the Mississippi river, has been surveyed under direction of congress by United States engineers, who have officially reported to congress that the building of the deep waterway is feasible. 3. The people of the state of Illinois have adopted a constitutional amendment providing for a bond issue of $20,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing the deep waterway southward from Joliet. 4. A bill introduced by United Skates Representative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri is now pending in congieBS, providing for the issuance by the United States government of bonds to the amount of $500,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing this deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf and other meritorious projected river improvements. 6. It is intended to ask the Sixtyfirst congress to pass a bill providing definitely that the United States government undertake the construction of the deep waterway from the point where the Illinois work will end, to the Gulf of Mexico. In the afternoon, following the address of President Taft, Clifford Pinchot, head of the government forestry department, made an address on the conservation of the nation's natural resources. In the evening the delegates to the convention were entertained at a stag smoker by the Progressive union of New Orleans. This evening all the delegates and the ladies accompanying them were the guests of the Progressive union at the New Orleans Opera house, where "La Juive" was given by the French Opera Company. His Politics at Home. A political canvasser called at a home the other day and inquired as to the political affiliations of the man of the house. "Oh, well," said the housewife, "he's everything. He's nice when he's away, and he's not so nice at other times.* "But about politics," said the canvasser. "Is he a Democrat or a Republican?" "Well, it depends on who he is with," said the lady. "If it's policy to be a Democrat when he's with Democrats, he's a Democrat, and when he's with Republicans he's a Republican." "I understand," persisted the canvasser, "but between ourselves, what is he at home?" "Oh, at home he's a perfect terror."

At the expiration of this term It was opened for the reception of a sarcophagus; but, alas; how fearful a shock awaited the husband, who personally threw open tae door. As its portals swung outwardly back, some white appareled object fell rattling within hits arms. It was the skeleton of his wife fa her yet usv uiuldered shroud. A careful Inveatlgatlon rendered It evident that she had revived within two days of her entombment, that her snuggles within the cofflm had caused it to fall from a ledge or shelf to the floor, where it was so broken as to permit her to escape. On the uppermost steps which led down to the dread chamber was a large fragment of coffin, with which it seemed that she had endeavored to arrest attention by striking the iron door. While thus occupied, she probably swooned or possibly died through sheer terror; and in falling her shroud became entangled in some iron work which projected interiorly. Thus she remained and thus she rotted ereet—Edgar Allan Poe. BD1SON Phonographs?

"Now, children,'' said I- kindergarten teacher In a determined effort to introduce nature study to Inn- class, "I want you to look at (his picture of a turtle. See his shell like a little house for him to creep into so that nothing can hurt him See how good God has been to him. He hasn't any bones like we have; only this shell to hide In whoa he's afraid. Can all of you see tke picture of the turtle?" "Ya as 'am." "Do you all of you wee the nlca hard shell for the poor little boneleaa thing? Do you all of yon understand? Any one who doesn't understand ralat the right hand. Well. Johnny?" "I don't understand "What don't you -understand?" Johnny WM an earnest child with spectacles, and the kindergarten teacher's heart began to sink. "I don't understand anything yoa'va said," said Johnny "Why not, Johnny?" "Because," said Johnny, "becausa the turtle certainly has got bones." In the presence of conviction born of knowledge the kindergarten teaober still rallied her wits to the maintenance of disictpline. "You may sit down, Johnny," she said with a forced smile. "You may sit down. There are different sorts of turtles." The editor of one of the leading magazines of New York has a viewpoint which often cheers his friends. His social affairs are such that on some occasions he and his wife dine in the homes of sunjptuous wealth, while on other occasions they partake of chafing dish spreads in the candle-lighted studios ot artists more or less struggling. Not long since they dined with a family where the evidences of wealth were numerous. Among them waa a platter of rare and aoatly porcelain. Mrs. Editor was enthusiastic over the beauty of it and its priceless antiquity, and the hostess called attention to the fact that it had bean broken many times and that the pieces were riveted together with gold, in fact, she had a servant pass It around for examination to show how b&Aly it had, oa different occasion*, been •battered, and how, oa the bask, it showed a mass of gold rivets. The next morning, when the editor came to his own breakfast table, he appeared to be in a chastened, not to say, depressed, frame of mind. Mm. Editor inquired the cause.

The London Lancet says sir hundred children of leprous parents are being educated by the Mission of Lapera, and the children show no signs at leprosy Once there was a country boy who came to the city to forge his way In the world. He secured a position in a wholesale grocery, working conscientiously and faithfully. By stint and sacrifice he saved a nice portion of his earnings, until at the end of two years he had about $200 in the bank to his credit. Coincident with this date chronicled above, a well-dressed and smooth-talking agent of a Nevada gold mining company same along and met the country boy. After some clever descriptions regarding the marvels of wealth burled in the sljaft on a certain mountain and the immense quantities of glittering treasures dragged from the bowels of the earth the $200 were transferred from the bank to the agent, and a pretty engraved share of stock with the name of the country boy upon it was carefully packed away in the tray of his trunk. A month passed and then a letter came. On the outside of the envoiup* was the name of the Nevada mining company. On the Inside waa a check for $1,000, the first monthly payment oa one share of stock.

We might alio say tttat the mortar between the brlpks lii a «reat many places Is waahed out by t t o rain and should be attended to at oooe. We ateo vtalSed tha Jail and think It 1« not out of place to say that everything that the sheriff or his lady baa control of Is In first class condition. There are some aupplies that ture necessary in the J a i l that we wish to draw your attention to, there is a linoleum cover needed for the kltchtn, also about a dozen blankets for the prisoner* cots, also dishea, knives and ftorks, spoons etc., there is also needed four canvass cots for prisoners, these cot* t h o u l d be banded with leather at the top and bottom, also three electric lights to replace present system of candles, which is expensive and daniceions. The roof of the Jail also leaks which I understand was brought to your att- utlon last session. There is one bed-room In the residence portion that certainly needs paltering. The outside door on the north side should be covered with stonu doors as in its present condition the snow blows in and melts running into the cellar. There Is the matter of locks for the three outside doors of the court house, you probably know the conditions i»eople coming in at any time. Now we recommepd that three good locks be purchased aud put on the outside doors. We recommend a change In the lighting system of the court house. Thomas K.

Clerk. Short Distance View of a King. The king and queen arrived at Goodwood alone in their motor car, and were received by the duke ot Richmond. I was very close to tha king when he entered his reserved balcony, and I afterward stood with* in ten feet of him (in the pouring rain). 1 also saw him turn up his own trousers and carry hie own umbrella, which I think, were I a king, 1 would have some oae else do for me. He la a very smart looking man, indeed, but ho has a style of wearing hla clothea absolutely different from anybody else. His high silk hat is also distinctive to himself. He also wore a raincoat, a blue Raglan, cut very full, and he had on a bright scarf, with a pink shirt. He wore a dark red carnation In his buttonhole. He is a very democratic king in/deed. I fancy though that he plays to the gallery a great deal.— Gentleman's Journal. An Up-to-Date Book Plate.

PINCKNET. - - - MICHIGAN R O M A N ' S CRUELTY TO WOMAN. It la often said that women are more cruel In iheir judgments of women than are men. The sophomores ot Karnard college. New York, have evidently undertaken to show that the sex can be as cruel in action as In Judgment. Only women will fully appreciate the terrific cruelty of the edict of those girl sophomores that the girl freshmen must on no account adorn themselves with rats or puffs or braids during the present college term. But the man of average observation will get at least a hint of the tragedy of the situation. While the sophomores are going about adorned in the glory of mountainous false hair the freshmen will have to be content with those simple coiffures at once so becoming to the faces of young girls and so out of style at present, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Think of the horror of tJhat to girls wbo are just beginning to understand the iuexorableness of fashion! And when they walk abroad for air or exercise what sudden, sad reminders, of their forlorn condition the windows filled with abundant hair goods of all shapes and arrangements are sure to be! What pangs of hopeles desperation and re- Volt will wake to mar their pleasure! WHERE'S THE LIVE STOCK BOARD s MICHIGAN ITEMS. •w NEITHER OFFICE OR SECRETARY JUST HAVE TO BE FOUND IF WANTED. A CASE NEEDS ATTENTION Incidents and Happenings in Various Parts of the State That Are Briefly Told. Omaha dealers are said to be rushing butter to the cold storage warehouses and predicting that consumers will be paying 50 cents a pound for the product before Christmas. It does not require a long head, nowadays, to see that butter will be higher in price In winter than in summer; in fact, from time immemorial butter has always advanced during the winter months. But when there were no cold storage warehouses the prices of butter were lower at this time of the year because there were no speculators buying the product up, right and left, rushing It to the cooler, and predicting tremendous advances during the winter. The cold storage warehouse Is beneficent in many ways, but the speculative feature of its utilization has raised the summer prices of butter and eggs and poultry, and also boosted the winter rates for these products. None of those products will ever again sell long at low prices, because the moment the prices ease a little the speculotor jumps in and clears the market of the surplus. It is too early to form conclusions about American traits. The United States is not the only country that has shown assimilative powers. England, on a lesser scale, has engaged In the work with signal sncc vss, says the San Francisco Chroni ilo. At times she has absorbed relatively large numbers of foreigners and completely Anglicized them, but at present her native-born population is so mtjch greater than hrr foreign that the latter is inaigutlicant by comparison. It is possible, therefore, to speak of British traits with so ine define of propriety. Residents of Ada township are aroused because of the failure to locate the members of the state livestock commission, whose services are required in looking after a tiumber of c:-ttle in that vicinity, which are suffering from hydrophobia. They were bitten by a mad dog several days ago. Telephone, telegraph and mail messages, It is alleged, failed to find any members of the commission In their office at lousing, and in the meantime about a dozen cattle are slowly dying of the rabieB. The owners of the cattle, Mrs. Levi Averill and a man named Kaiser, do not want to kill the animals without the official sanction of the commission, as in that case they would not be allowed the value from the state. They are desirous of having a representativo of the commission come, appraise the value, and then have the p.nttle killed. Th« state livestoek commission has no office in LanBing and there Is no known way to reach that body except by getting hold of its members Individually. They are Comfort A, Tyler, of Nottawa, St. Joseph county; Henry H. Hindu, of Stanton, and T. F. Marston, of Bay City. The commission does not boast a secretary. T h r desertion at New York of 200 imen of Admiral Seymour's fleet repeats what occurred at Hampton Roads on the occasion of the James- Warden Fuller W a n t s S h r i v e r John C. Shriver, who was arrested recently in Grand Haven on a charge of daring his wife to take poison, and who pleaded guilty when the complaint was changed to assault and battery, is In more trouble than ho bargained for. At the time of his arrest Shriver was on parole from the Ionia reformatory, to which institution he had been sentenced for from three to ten years for forgery, and now Warden Fuller, of the prison, has issued a warrant calling for his return to serve out the sentence. Between the time of his arrest and pleading truilty to the assault and battery charge, Shriver's parole had expired, and he is now seeking some way to avoid the return to the reformatory. He has appealed from the fine of $40 and costs or the 45 days' jail Imposed, and the matter promises to be a hard fought one. Trusted Employe Suicides. A trusted employe of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. for nearly 20 roars, Charles Grimme, in charge of the company's Benton Harbor office, committed suicide by swallowing strychnine in a sufficient quantity to kill a dozen men. Grimme ended his life at home, breathing his last In the presence of his wife and children, That the deed was premeditated, and that there is also a shortage in Grimme's accounts, is evidenced by two letters which he had written before swallowing the poison. One lettor was to his wife and children, bidding them good-bye, and the second letter was directed to the company's agent and admits there is a shortage, but asserts it is small. Help IB 8carce. "Men wanted, 25 cents per hour," are signs which are displayed frequently in Lansing, and yet contractors say that they are unable to secure laborers, even at these prices. Farmers are complaining that it is almost an impossibility to secure help and large fields of corn are standing town csposHion. Tbe , i r i t I s h ••Jack j t r ^ ^ L T Z ^ 1 , ^ .

Reports of 6,061 cases of appendicitis In Berlin during 1907 destroy a foreign impression that this trouble is an "American disease." Detailed reports on Berlin hospital cases bear out the American surgical claim that. early operations reduce the mortality rate. By such evidenoo from an old world center of authority the alien criticism should bo still further modified that American surgeons are too ready with the knife. obtain help in caring for the part of the crop which is still unharvested. Indisputably the materials of subsistence cost, more than a year ago. A dispatch from Washington notes that last year the average cost to the government of food snpplins for the army was on the basis of 10.65 cents for a soldier's daily ration, whereas now it-is 21.5 cents. At this rate the market bill for the whole army for the current year would be $1,540,200 higher than In 1908. Flint's BIB Fire. Fire of unknown origin broke out st midnight Monday in the rear of the three-story brick block st 420 South Sapinaw street, Flint, occupied by Warrick Bros, with a dry goods stock, and before it had been subdued it had gutted the structure, ruinpd a stock of goods valued at $40,000 and caused a loss of $8,000 on the building, which is owned by the Mrs. L. H. Childs estate. The Delos A. Blodgett estate of Grand Rapids has paid $45,832.45 inheritance tax to the itate, which will go Into the primary fund. Alleging that they have been selling milk from families affected by contagious diseases snd thus spreading typhoid fever, Dairy and Food-Inspector Howe has secured warrants against two Lansing milk Healers. It's terrible to smoke a cigarette in Holland, as Elmer Fink, a young Gr&nd Rapids football player, learned Saturday when an officer ran him in with a coffin nail In hii mouth.

An unknown man who came to%Ann Arbor to attend the football game Saturday found a pearl while eating oysters in a local restaurant. A Jeweler stated that the jewel was worth $90. The potato crop in Ingham county is Bald to be the best seen for several seasons. As yet the frosts, which damaged many potatoes In northern counties, have not injured the tubers there. James D. Derby, of Flint, has received from a Goi^n, B. C, man a postal card lie enclosed in a phial and threw into the Columbia river three years ago. The bottle and oard traveled more than 100 miles. Two distinct earthquake ihocks were recorded on the seismograph at the Ann Arbor university Sunday, the first at 1:05 a. m. and the second half an hour later, it is thought the shocks were at least 6,000 miles away.

A few months ago a young son died, and since they have had a great deal of sickness in the home. This seaion the farm crops failed, and they art unable to pay the rent. 1 rM I £'•',"» =f r J • i '- T H I NORTH DAKOTA 18 THE B I S T DREADNOUGHT IN THE WIDE WORLD. CANADA INCREASES ARMY ^Fastest and Best Battleship—The Canadian Northwest Army—Various Matter*. • The North Dakota is the fastest battleship of the Dreadnought type afloat, as well aa one of the two most powerful battleships in the world. Her serew standardization tests over the Rockland, Me., measured mile course developed a maximum speed of 22.25 knots, and an average of 21.833. Both marks are in excess of the best performances of either her sister ship, the Delaware, or the Bellerophon, the leader Dreadnoufh of the British navy. In attaining this surprising speed the turbine engines of the North Dakota were forced to the development of more horsepower than has been reached by any battleship afloat. A maximum of 35,150 horsepower was recorded, while 33,876 horsepower was the mean amount. The maximum number of revolutions of her nickel composition propellers was 286 a minute. It was found that 263 revolutions in this time were sufficient to maintain the contract speed of 21 knots. To Guard the Nerthweet Pursuant to a plan to station 50,006 well drilled soldiers between the great lakes and the Rocky Mountains, the Canadian government has ordered another squadron of regulars to locate in Winnipeg, doubling the atrength of the Strathcona Horse and the Royal Canadian regiment at Fort Osborne. The military forces will be stationed from 20 to 60 miles north of the boundary line near the present centers of population. The Canadian minister of militia, it is said, believes that the prairies furnish Canada's best fighting force, and for this reason the regulars hare been ordered to the northwest. Mounted corps are springing up In every direction in the farming districts and applications for new organizations are pouring In. It is thought that this is due to recent public speeches of Lord Northcllffe, Earl Grey, Lord Milner and others, who have fanned the flame of military ambition throughout western Canada. ^ O N Q W Y N E E D E D « t h % .

Pfrl " ' i n r ' >T UIuttntiHt bf RAY WALTERS 9 V V V 3 (Osflrrlsit, WW. bjr A. a MoClurt * Co.) SYNOPSIS. The story opens with the shipwreck of the steamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Winthrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake, a brusque American, were passengers. The three were tossed upon an uninhabited Island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake, shunned on the boat, because of his roughness, became a hero as preserver of the helpless pair. The Englishman was suing for the hand of Miss Leslie. Wlnthrope wasted his last match on a cigarette, for which he was scored by Blake. All three constructed hats to shield themselves from the sun. They then feasted on cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation. Blake recovered his surveyor's magnifying glass, thus insuring fire. He started a jungle fire, killing a large leopard and smothering several cubs. In the leopard's cavern they built a small home. They gained the cliffs by burning the bottom of a tree until it fell against the heights. The trio secured eggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white skirt was decided upon as a signal. Miss Leslie made a dress from the leopard skin. Overhearing a conversation between Blake and Wlnthrope, Miss LeBlle became frightened, Wlnthrope became ill with fever. Blake was poisoned by a fish and almost died. Jackals attacked the camp that night, but were driven oft by Genevieve. Blake constructed an animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour the trio discovered honey and oysters. Miss Leslie was attacked by a poisonous snake. Blake killed it and saved its poison to kill game. For the second time Wlnthrope was attacked by fever. He and Blake disagreed. The latter made a strong door for the private compartment of Miss Leslie's cave homo. A terrible storm raged that night. Wlnthrope stole into her room, but she managed to swing her door closed In time. Wlnthrope was badly hurt. He died the following morning. The storm tore down their distress flag, so a new one was swung from a bamboo pole. Miss I,eslle helped In covering Winthrope's grave with stones, Genevieve took a stroug llkinp to Blake. On exploration tour they were attacked by a lion. •parks and lighted wiipf of grass driven by the gale had already fired tbe 1tfn|!«"BtR.. vt*r flT-tnrf"t«Tt&*r ridge. Step by step Blake-dre* bftek?'

The beat fchlst haVe ktrbefldd him as welt He stared at her, dull-eyed, wondering If ghe wis dead. His bralh~de*re4^ He sprang oyer to where the flask lay beside the remnant* of the 4uncb. He was dashing the last drops of the tepid water in her face when she moaned and her eyelids began to flutter. He flung down the flask and fell to chafing her wrist - . "Tooa!" she moaned. "Yes, Miss Jenny, I'm bere. It's all right," he answered. "Have I had a sunstroke? Is that why U seems so— I can hardly breathe—" "It's all right, I tell you. Only a Utile bonfire I touched att\ Guess you must have fainted, but it's all right now." . "It .was silly of me to faint But when I saw that dreadful thing leap—" She faltered and lay shuddering. Fearful that bhe was about to swoon again Blake Blapped her hand between his palms with stinging force. "You're It!" he shouted. "The joke's on you! Kitty jumped just the Other way, and he won't come back CHAPTER XXIV.—Continued. The lion stilled his roars and crouched as if to spring, snarling and grinning with rage and uncertainty. His eyes, unaccustomed to the glare of the mid-day sun, blinked incessantly, though he followed the man's every movement, hie snarls deepening into growls at the slightest change of attitude. •In hie blind animal rage Blake had forgotten that the purpose of his lateral advance was to place as great a distance as possible between him and the girt before the clash. Yet instinct kept him moving along his spiral course, on the chance that he might catch his foe off his guard. Suddenly the lion half rose and stretched forward, sniffing. There was ah uneasy whining note in his growls. Blake^let the club Blip from beneath his arm and drew his bow until the arrow-head lay upon his thumb. His outstretched arm was rigid ai a bai of steel. So tense and alert were all his nerves that he knew he could drive home both arrows and stHl have time to swing his club before the beast was upon him. A puff of wind struck against his back and swept on the nostrils of the lion, laden with the odor of man. The beast uttered a short, startled roar, And, whirling about, leaped away into the jungle so Quickly that Blake's arrow flashed past a full yard behind. -' The second arrow was on the string before the first had struck the ground. But* the lion had vanished in the grass. "J^ith a yell, Blake dashed on across tq the nearest point of the jungly As %s/ ran he drew the burning-glass from l b J i b and flipped it open ready for the lion had turned behind the lng grass stems he was too v < ctrwardly to charge out again. Within a minute the jungle border was a wall of roaring flame. The grass, long since dead, and bone-dry with the days of tropical sunshine since the cyclone, flared up before the wind like gunpowder. Even against the wind the fire ate its way along the ground with fearful rapidity, fratrlhg behind it an upwhirling vortex of smoke and flame. - No living crearnro could have burst through that belt of fire. A waye of fierce heat Sent Blake staggering back, scorched and blistered. ' There was no exuliance In his bearing: For the moment all thought of the lion was swallowed up in awe of his own work. He stared at the hell of leaping, roaring flames from be- AJsath his upraised arm. To the north at S t ir /' llkaAerii "The Man 1 Love!" In a hurry with that Are to head him off. Jump up now and we'll do a jig on the strength of it." She attempted a smile, and a trace of color showed in her cheeks. With an idea that action would further her recovery he drew her to a sitting position, stepped quickly behind, and, with his hands beneath her elbows, lifted her upright. But she was still too weak and giddy to stand alone. As he released his grip she swayed and would have fallen had he not caught her arm. "Steady!" he admonished. "Brace up; you're all right." "I'm—I'm just a little dizzy," she murmured, clinging to his shoulder. "It will pass in a minute. It's so silly, but I'm that way—Tom, I—I think you are the bravest man—" "Yes, yes—but that's not the point. Leave go now, like a sensible girl. It's about time to hit the trail." He drew hjUnaqlf free, and without a glance at her blushing face began to gather up their scattered outfit. His hat lay where he had weighted it down with the cocoanut. He tossed the nut into the skin bag and jammed the hat on his head, pulling the brim far down over his eyes. When he had fetched his club he walked back past the girl with his eyes averted. "Come on," he muttered. The scarlet in the girl's cheeks swept over her whole face in a burning wave, which ebbed slowly and left her colorless. Blake had started off without a backward glance. She grazed about with a bewildered look at the palms and the barren ridge and the fiery tidal wrvve of flame. Her gaze came back to Blake, and she followed him. Within a short distance she found herself out of the sheltering lee of the ridge. The first wind gust almost overthrew her. She could never have walked against such a gale; but with the wind at her back she was buoyed up and borne along as though on wings. Her sole effort was to keep her foothold. Had it been their morning trip she could have cried out with joy and skipped along before the gusts like a schoolgirl. Now she walked as soberly as the wind would permit, and took care not to lessen the distance between herself and Blake. Mile by mile they hastened back across the plain—on their right the blue sea of water, with its whitecaps and spray; on their left the yellow sea of fire, with its dun fog of smoke. Once only had Blake looked back to see if the rtrl was following. After that be swung along, with down-bent bead, his gase upon the ground. Even wl«^e*'TWI8«> ir^nair'Uie grot* and around the pool to the foot of the cleft h*T began: the ^ascent without waiting to assist her up the break in the path. The girl came after, ber lips firm, her eyes bright and expectant 8ne drew herself up the ledge as though she had becm bred to mountain climbing. Inside the barricade Blake was waiting to close the opening. 8be crept through and rose, to catch him by the sleeve. "Tom, look at me,- she said. "Once I was most unjust to you In my thoughts. I wronged you. Now I must tell you that I think you are the bravest-rthe noblest man—" "Get away!" he exclaimed, and he shook off her band roughly. "Don!t be a fool! You don't know what you're talking about" "But I do, Tom. I believe that you are*-'' "I'm a blackguard—do you bear?" "No blackguard is brave. Tbe way you faced that terrible beast—" "Yes, blackguard—to've gone and shown to you that I—to've let you say a single word—Can't you Bee? Even if I'm not what you call a gentleman, I thought I knew how any man ought to treat a woman—but to go and let you know, before we'd got back among people!" "But—but, Tom, why not, If we—" "No!" he retorted, harshly. "I'm going now to pile up wood on the cliff for a beacon fire. In the morning I'll Btart making that catamaran—" "No, you shall not— You shall not go off and leave me, and—and risk your life! I can't bear to think of it! Stay with me, Tom—dear! Even if a ship never came—" He turned resolutely, so aa not to see her blushing face. "Come now, Miss Leslie," he said in a dry, even tono; "don't make it so awfully hard. Let's be sensible, and shake hands on it like two real comrades—" She struck frantically at his outstretched hand. "Keep away—I hate you!" she cried. Before he could speak she was running up the cleft. CHAPTER XXV. fn Double Salvation. ^3. HEN, an hour or more after dawn the next morning, the girl Blowly drew open bor door and came out of the cave Blake was nowhere in sight. She sighed, vastly relieved, and hastened across to bathe her flushed face in the spring. Stopping every few moments to listen for his step down the cleft she gathered up a hamper of food and fled to the tree-ladder. As she drew herself up on the cliff she noticed a thin column of smoke rising from the last smouldering brands of a beacon fire that had been built in the midst of the bird colony on the extreme outer edge of the headland. She did not, however, observe that, while the smoke column streamed up from the fire directly skyward beyond it there was a much larger volume of smoke, which seemed to have eddied down the cliff face and was now rolling up into view from out over the sea. She gave no heed to this, for the sight of the beacon had InBtantly alarmed her with the possibility that Blake was still on the headland, and would imagine that she was seeklpg him. She paused, her cheeks aflame. But the only sign of Blake that she could sec was the fire itself. She reflected that he might very well have left before dawn. As likely as not he had descended at the north end of the cleft and had gone off to the river to start his catamaran. At the thought all the color ebbed from her cheeks and left her white and trembling. Again she stood hesitating. With a sigh she started on toward the signal staff. She was close \tpon the border of the bird-colony when Blake sat up and she found herself staring into his blinking eyes. "Hello*!" he ranmbled, drowsily. He sprang up wide awake, and flushing with the guilty consciousness of what he had done. "Look at the sun—way up! Didn't mean to oversleep, Miss Leslie. You see I was up pretty late tending the beacon. But of course that's no excuse—" "Don't!" she exclaimed. There were tears in her eyes; yet she smiled as Bhe spoke. "I know what you mean by 'pretty late.' You've been up all night." "No, I haven't. Not. all night—" "To be sure! I quite understand, Mr. Thomas Blake! Now sit down and eat this luncheon." "Can't. Haven't time. I've got to get to the river and set to work. I'll get some jerked beef and eat it on the way. You see—" "Tom!" she protested. "It's for you," he rejoined, and his lips closed together resolutely. He was stepping past her, when over the seaward edge of the cliff there came a sound like the yoll of a raging sea monster. "Siren!" shouted Blake. wnlrUng about Tbe doufflffrimdke'beyond the cliff end was now rolling up more to the lefO He da*hec> away towards the north edge o | the cliff as though he intended to leap 'off Into space. The girl ran after him as fast as she could ov«rt£b« iloosa, stones. Before she had covered half the distance she saw him halt c V \ b c very brink of the cliff and begin to wave and shout like a madman. A few steps farther on she caught sight of the steamer. It was lying close in, only a little way off the north point of the headland. £ven, aa she saw the vessel, its siren responded) to Blake's wild gestures with a series of joyous screams. There could be no mistake. He had been seen. Already they were letting go anchor, and there was a little crowd of men gathering about one of the boats. Blake turned and started on a run for the cliff. But Miss Leslie darted before him, compelling him to halt. "Wait!" she cried, her eyes sparkling with happy tears. "Tom, it's come now. You needn't—" "Let me by! I'm going to meet them. I want to—" But she put her hands upon his shoulders. "Tom!" she whispered, "let It be now, before any one—anything can possibly come between us! Let U be a part of our life here—here, where I've learned how brave and true r real man can be!" "And then have him prove himself a sneak!" he cried. "No; I won't, Jenny! I've got you to think of. Wait till I've seen your father. Ten to one he'll not hear of it—he'll cut you off without a cent. Not but what I'd be glad myself; but you're used to luxuries, girlie, and I'm a poor man. I can't give them to you—" She laid a hand on bis mouth and smiled up at him in tender mockery. "Come, now, Mr. Blake; you're not very complimentary. After surviving my cooking all these weeks, don't you think I might do, at a pinch, for a poor man's wife?" "No, Jenny!" he protested, trying to draw back. "You oughtn't to decide now. When you get back among your friends things may look different. Think of your society friends! Wait till you see me with other men—gentlemen! I'm just a rough, uncultured, ordinary—" "Hush!" she cried, and she again placed her hand on his mouth. "You sha'n't say such cruel things about Tom —my Tom—the man I trust—that I—" Her arms slipped about his neck and her eyes shone up into his with tender radiance. » "Don't!" he begged, hoarsely. "Tain't fair I—I can't stand it!" "The man I love!" she whispered. He crushed her to him in his great arms. "My little girl!—dear little girll" he repeated, and he pressed his lips to her hair. She snuggled her face closer against his shoulder and replied in a very small voice: "I—I suppose you know that ship captains can m-marry people." "But I haven't even a Job yet!" he exclaimed. "Suppose your father—" "Please listen!" she pleaded. There was a sound like suppressed sobbing. "What is it?" he ventured, and he listened, greatly perturbed. The muffled voice sounded very meek and plaintive: T i l try to do my part, Mr. Blake—really I will! I—I hope we can manage to straggle along— somehow. You know, I have a Uttle of my own. It's only three—three mil* lion; but—" "What!" he demanded, and he held her out at arm's length, to stare at her in frowning bewilderment. "If I'd known that, I'd—" "You'd never have given n e a chance to^—to propose to you, you dear old silly!" she cried, her eyes dancing with tender mirth. "See here!" She turned from him, and back again, and held up a withered, crumpled flower. He looked, and saw that it was the amaryllis blossom. "You—kept it!" "Because — because. even then, then, down in the bottom of my heart. I had begun to realize—to know what you were like^—and of course that meant— Tom, tell me! Do you think I'm utterly shameless? Do you blame me for being the one to—to—" "Blame you!" he cried. He paused to put a finger under her chin and raise her down-bent face. His eyes were very blue, but there was a twinkle in their depths. "Oh, yes; it was dreadful, wasn't it? But I guess I've no complaint to file Just now." THE END. Punctured Cloth a Trimming.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR T H E CABLES.JHJkPIClNf COMPANY IN THE UNITED 8TATE& COURT. The United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New Yorksitting in New York City—has just awarded to the Carter Medicine Company a decree which again sustains the company's exclusive right to use the red package for liver pills. By the tennis of the decree, it is, among other things: Adjudged that the Caster Medicine Company is the owner of the sole and exclusive right to the use of red colored wrappers and labels upon said small, round packages of liver pills of the style described in the bill of complaint; said right having been acquired by the prior adoption of said style and color of package for liver pills by the complainant predecessors more than thirty years ago, and established by the continuous and exclusive use of the same in constantly increasing quantities by said predecessors and by the complainant, the Carter Medicine Company, itself, from the time of their said adoption until the present day. The decision just announced is perhaps the most Important and far-reaching of all, by reason of the character of the tribunal which rendered i t No Court in the country stands higher. ~-2iational Druggist.

It is .a long, rangy fly with a bite like a steel trap, and it lays a pale blue, oblong egg at the rate of 30,000 an hour. The Hessian fly will eat anything from decayed custard pie to a glass inkwell, bUt its favorite dish is the double neck ef a fat gent. This bird can perform a two-step on sticky fly paper without crooking its toes, and 1B proof against rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and a strychnine hypodermic.

The injurious action of Coffee oa tbe heart of many persons is well kaowm by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak It could not do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop it, but It seemed I could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration. "For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly I got well. Now I do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know It is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day, 'I never thought you would be what you are.' I used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weigh 158. "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again for any money, for I believe it would kill me if I kept at it. Postum must be well boiled according to directions on pkg., then it has a rich flavour and with cream is fine." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

Still, It did seem to her as if two weeks was rather a brief period in which to determine whether they would make suitable life partners.

"Whotr she exclaimed, in hooks, I ssaaa,"' ho hastily lav formed her, trat HOI oho w the explanation was not quite satisfactory. "Let ua wait," she said cautiously. "In a little while we will know better—" "Wait!" he repeated despairingly. "A man stands at the gates of Paradise and you tell him to wait! A way« farer dying of thirst reaches for a cup of water and you say: 'Walt! Are you sure you want It?' As well tell the parched fields to watt for the gentle rain without, which the grass and the flowers must die! I can't wait! I come to you for love; I bring you love, and if I receive It not in return, my heart becomes a desert, a barren waste," This little speech had been gradually perfected by experience and he knew it was most effective, but still •he doubted. "Do not force me to answer now," she pleaded. "I must, have time to think, to consult my heart. Tt whispers to me that—that— Rut It may be wrong,".she added hastily. "Now or never!" he cried passion- I ately. as he endeavored to draw her ! to him. "With so much at stake I j cannot 11 vo in suspense! A lesser I love might wait, but not this of ; mino! Your answer, Charlotte?" Oh, the Imploring vehemence of that plea! Yet it availed him nothing. Qently disengaging herself, she said: "No!" quite distinctly, and left him on the garden-seat with hli face buried in his hands. Ernest's heart was surely broken this time. He sat for a long time on the garden-seat without moving—Ave or ten minutes at least, although he estimated it at something like half an hour. Then he rose wearily and staggered down thi> street. Just why s young man should stagger in these circumstances la a mystery. wast to hU room at the hot o t ***** was only a shaft diataaoo team the1-Calvert' summer hoaia, and there be gave way to despair—that la to say, he ordered a Scotch slgahsll.

The brooding waa over the dark future; the dreaming was occasioned by a photograph that he had not had lime to put away since he last fell in love. Probably the tcotoh had something to do with the transition from dismal thoughts to dreamy speculation. At any rate, he gradually began to give more attention to the photograph on the table sad less to the dreary mental picture for which the affair at the garden-seat had been responsible. "How I did love that girlt" he said reflectively, meaning the one represented in the photograph. "She's a beautiful girl too—and' so distinguished, and tactful, and generally delightful. But she's like all the rest; it's always so sudden.' Why, oh, why, am I so uniformly unfortunate? Why am I ever unsuccessful? Other men love once and win; I love a dozen times and lose, and yet the odds are all in my favor. It's 12 to 1, yet here I am, disconsolate, hopeless. I must have been bom under an unlucky star; fate is against me; I'll never know success." He disposed of what waa left of his last highball and lit s fresh cigar, under the soothing influence of which the girl in the photograph seemed to smile at him. "I could have been happy with her," ho sighed; then, after a pause: "I could he happy with her yet. How It would jar Charlotte Culver if I should marry her! Lovely girl!" dreamily. "I never saw one more charming than she was the night she said—" He straightened up in his chair suddealy. "By George! she didn't «ay It!" he oried. "No, sir, she told me to wait; aad when I told her about the man at the gates of Paradise and the wayfarer dying of thirst she said the man at the gates couldn't expect to have them opened the very < Instant he knocked—It was unreasonable; and that was all I could get out of her.

Mow what did she mean by that? Why, knock again, of course, and It's just about time too. Funny how it slipped my mind! And what a superb wife she would make! I never really loved anyone else anyway; I was just sort of seeking consolation. I guess." He called a bell-boy and sent for a telegraph blank. "Once more I knock," he wrote, and signed his name.

Drink a teacupful three times a day. Mix two tablespoonfuls of grated or scraped magnesia with the same bulk of orris root and one teaspoonful of salt. Rub this mixture through the hair, brush thoroughly and it will leave the scalp clean and hair light and fluffy. If you cut the tip of your finger when you are busy in the kitchen, do not stop to tie a clumsy bandage on it, but put a small piece of clean linen over the cut and then put on your thimble until your work is done and you can give the matter better attention. When a very hot cloth is wanted for use in sickness, do not wet the whole cloth; take hold of the ends, one in each hand, then drop the center in boiling water, twist the cloth quickly, and the result will be a very hot cloth without wetting the hands. With all one's reducing exercises do not forget to dash cold water night and morning over neck, cheat and throat. This acta as a tonic to the musclea and keeps the skin from being loose and "wabbly." incidentally It la a great protection against tendencies to cold. Strips on Mattresses. Sew the ends of four strips of dentin about RIX inches long to your mattress (two on each aide) to serve as handles. This puts the matter of turning the mattress and carrying it within the strength of women. of bright velvet often used in light touches on collars and sleeves. Misaea' coats do not run the same lengths in variety or novelty as do those of their elders, a garment which is simple and maidenly in effect being the one generally considered by mothers of taste. A very excellent girl's model is a long semi-fitted coat of diagonal wool with a velvet-trimmed military collar and cavalier revere. This Is double-breasted and so fitted with long shoulder Beams, back and front, 'hat young figures take on an added sllmness. Little girl coats—the garments for children nowhere yet near the 'teens—run largely to sack effects, while the overcoat for the growing boy reproduces to a T In all but length his daddy's top garment The illustration shows a paletot that mother herself would find most suit able, tor with the substitution of a plain round hat for the flyaway thing here shown, the coat Is adapted to any age. For every day use the widewale diagonal wool here employed Is admirable. Such wools in very wide widths—always buy a double width goods for a coat—may be had as low as $1.50 a yard. A handsome shade of iron gray for the diagonal would be very pretty, though this may be touched up with a bit of colored velvet oh the collar and cuffB. If made of cloth, such a coat would be treated, as a matter of course, at the neck and sleeves with velvet or satin, and besides, there would be outlinings of silk braid, and perhaps a touch of bullion cord, for the dressy cloth coat leans largely to slight brightenings with gilt braid. DAINTY BASKET FOR HAIRPINS Wicker Contrivances That Are One of the Novelties of the Fall Season. One of the novelties of the fall season are dainty hairpin baskets made from small wicker baskets with and without handles. These baskets are finished with several coats of gilt paint, filled with wool of some other soft filling, and the top is covered with a close meshed netting of gilt wire. When it is impossible to buy this netting It can be woven with heavy gilt thread, as children weave paper mats, leaving small interstices that the hairpin may slip in easily. As in most households there are plenty of small baskets left over from the gifts of children, this is a useful and attractive way to utilize them, If one is giving a party for which a prize is needed for several tables one of these little affairs for each one will be both cheap and effective.

The number of cows milked daily in the United States is estimated at 21,000,000. A hard crust over the soil prevents the rain and heat from entering. Always keep the surface of the soil loose. / The garden should be near the house and surrounded with a good woven wire netting fence to keep out fowls and other garden pests. Bonemeal Is excellent for vines and fruit trees, and three or four ounces may be applied to the square yard. It the garden must of necessity be on a stiff, clayey soil, mix all the ashes and sand obtainable with it; they will mellow it up wonderfully. Probably no class of people suffer more from rheumatism than farmers, and yet the remedy for this dreadful disease is, or should be, right at hand.

We may sow cowpeas in the corn the last cultivation and possibly produce a catch crop of one-half ton to the acre. We wili plan to husk the ear corn and leave the stalks on the land to be disked down for seeding oats and clover. The oats should be cut as high as possible and the threshed oats straw should be spread over the land either before or after rotting, aa may be found best The third year the clover may be clipped perhaps two weeks before haying and left lying on the land, the second crop being harvested later for seed, using a buncher attached to the mower so as to avoid raking. The threshed clover straw should be spread over the, land, and if rock phosphate is used it may be applied and plowed under with all of the accumulated organic matter in preparation for the following corn crop which would begin the second rotation. These three crops removed about 173 pounds of nitrogen, while the clover and cowpeas returned about 182 pounds of nitrogen and, together with the cornstalks and oats straw, furnished a large supply of humus. This Is a system of grain farming planned to maintain the supply of hu mus and nitrogen. If the yields are cut in two the basis of the system remains the same. Many other rotations for grain farming might be followed, but in ail cases liberal use must be made of legume crops, catch crops, other green manure crops and crop residues In order to supply humus and nitrogen. In live stock farming take a fiveyear rotation, including corn two years, oats with clover and timothy seeding the third year, and two years of clover and timothy, using one year for hay and the other for pasture, assuming the same yields as before. Shock one-half of the corn or put it in the silo; husk the other half and use the oats straw for feeding and bedding. The four crops will remove from the soil about 369 pounds of nitrogen and the clover hay will contain about 120 pounds, which we assume was secured from the air, making 489 pounds of nitrogen in tbe total feed and bedding. If one-half of this is recovered In the manure and returned to the land there would be a deficiency of 124 pounds. But two-thirds of the nitrogen can be recovered by feeding upon cement floors and a liberal use of straw and shredded fodder for bedding, thus re* during the deficiency to 43 pounds. The pasturing may gain 12 pounds of nitrogen. By feeding more or less upon the fields and by leaving considerable clover in the pasture to serve as green manure this small deficiency can be replaced, but to maintain or increase the supply of humus and nitrogen in the soil is by no means an easy problem, even with live stock farming. Keep in mind these two words, phosphorus and humus. If these are Increased in the soil the farm will be growing richer and more productive, but whoever removes the phosphorus or destroys the humus more rapidly than they are replaced will have poorer land year by year with poverty as the only future for the children who continue the same ruinous system. A 100-bushel crop of corn requires 23 pounds of phosphorus; a 50-bushel crop of wheat, 16 pounds; a 4-ton crop of clover, 20 pounds. NOTES' AROUND THE FARM. Useful Psekst Knife. A large pocket knife kept real sharp is a good instrument for carrylag while working In the garden. With it one can cut out small branches of the shrubs and do a vast amount of good pninrmj that will sa*s' much work later. With the big blsde of a sharp pocket pairs a branch nearly aa inch In diameter may be easily cut oft. Tt> perform taia operation pull the branch to the tree with one hand and cut with the other. The bending of the branch makes the cutting easy. Let the out be clean, leaving no stub, or only a very short one. [ An overfat cow is never a profitable one to the dairyman. Eggs are injured by washing. It gives them a frailer shell. Washed eggs will not keep so well, neither will they hatch as well. Wipe off the dirt with a moist woolen rag, but no more. A poor line fence not only leads to damage to crops, but damage to friendships that are worth more than all the crops on the farm. The size at which a hog can be profitably marketed depends upon the kind of food afforded him. It is easier to turn slop into young pork than it is dry feed. Teach Boys and Girls, Teach tho boys and girls small farming by allowing them to grow vegetables or flowers for market The garden and truck patches are good places for this kind of educational work. Let them grow things and sell them and have the money for their own use. It is better than laying up money for them to use when you cannot direct its use, Did You GetOnet We Gave Them Free With Jellycotri The Perfect* J e U y % t W W« e*ro _ taiiitj to gat oswi a# t l f —i fcaagri UlSiLVtRALUHIHUMJWX MOULDS, pia* sis*, vmhmA mi 80' Scad Six Red DUmeed Trndsa-Marka cut foot pack* •get of JeltyeoB, together with tea cents to cover mailing, and one of these moulds will be sent to you.

Thn Putnam township Sunday School convention which wdsj'anuounced lor Sunday afternoon I last, way a very successful one, and the program was listened to by a large audience, the church being tilled to the gallery. One ot the remarkable things about the program was that every number as announced iu laat week's issue ot the DISPATCH responded. The music under the leadership of F. M. Grieve was one ot the pleasing things of the convention. A chorus of twenty or more voices besides special music by the Ladies and Male quartetts, and a duet by Misa Grace and Master Harold Grieve, made the music part of the program a success. Hesides papers from members of the two schools, Mrs. Ada Vincent of Howell gave an interesting paper on the Home Department work. This is a department that is but little known, ! but is doing wonders in getting peo- I pie who cannot attend the schools, to devote a half hour a week to the study I of the Bible. There is a membership I of 45 in the M. E. Home Department here, and it is self supporting as well \ as assisting in interesting many of them more and more in Sunday school I work. | Rev, G. H. White ot Alpena, one ot ! the American Sunday School Union < Missionaries, was present and gave i some interesting facts about the work | in Home Missions. Several barrels of 1 clothing, books and toys have been • sent him from this village during the | past, and we think a bigger interest will be taken in this work after hearhis talk. Taking it altogether the convention was very successful, and we predict even abetter one (if possible) in the future. l/fil - L - r J - - L Bath Room Toilet Needs! of every description a t t h i s p h a r m a c y .

ANDREWS, f u b l i s n c r . • - • ' '• * • - — ' * I M C K N » T . - - - MICHIGAN r~rr METCHN1K0FFS MIRACW& Two years ago Prof. Metyjhnikofl, the director of the Paateur Institute in Paris, promulgated his famous theory that a diet of sour milk would check the ravages of old age. Since than he baa made additional researches resultlug, we are told, in additional disooverlea uf Inestimable value. In a word, the profesaor Is now satisfied that he has discovered the cause of death and the means of retarding it, thus solving the problem of longevity. While his specific Is still a secret, it Is known that he proceeds on the principle that death is due to the formation of putrefactive bacteria in the large intestine and that for this process a corrective is within reach. The presumption Is that inoculation is the method to be pursued. When man reaches his prime, instead of being permitted to take the downgrade, he will simply visit a lab* oratory, receive a vitalizing Injection and remain, to all intents and purposes, immortal. The promise so extended is so delightful that skepticism seems invidious. Yet how many of us are there who, even on such impeccable authority as that of Prof. Metchnikoff, will nurse the golden dream of physical Immortality? Both Christian teaching and the teachings of Nature herself point the other way. Using the census of 1900 as a basis of calculation, it is estimated that the census of 1910 will show that the school population of the United States numbers probably 14,000,000 persons. The school army ten years ago was 13,367,147. Of that number 4,266,302 persons were between the ages of five and nine, and 6,453,394 ranged from nine to fourteen years old. About 13 per cent of the whole number were from fifteen to seventeen years of age, and five per cent wore eighteen or upward. Of all the children between the ages of five and nine reported In the census of 1900 . only about one-half attended rchool; of those ranging from nine to fourteen, four-fifths attended, and of those from fifteen to seventen a little more than two-fifths. Upward of 90 per cent of the entire number were white. A school army of 14,000,000 for 1910 will be a national asset worth having. It will constitute a more convincing demonstration of the country's resources and strength than an army of 1,000,000 adults equipped with rifles and cannon. A severer penalty than a fine should be awarded by the law to the clasB of miscreants who make a point of infesting the streets to insult respectable working girls. Young women who are compelled by the exigencies of life to support themselves, and who can choose neither the hour nor the place at which they must be on the public streets, should be especially protected from the scoundrels who hold that the fact a woman is compelled to earn her living is legitimate cause for insult, says the Baltimore American. If there is one class of persons for whom the streets should be safe, It is the young working girls of the community, who, as a class, are deserving of sincere respect MURDERS THE MAN It is not unlikely that commerce soon will bring to market the mixture of tea and flowers which was one of China's state secrets when the dowager empress held the reins of power. The empress was almost as famous for her tea as for her iron grip on the government All guests at court were permitted to drink of the old woman's favorite brew, and tea experts tried to match the blend after they had failed to worm the secret from servants in attendance on the empress. Every attempt, however, to produce as delicious a cup of tea failed, and it was not until after the empress' death that the secret leaked out The rapid development cf the aeroplane suggests that It will not be long before some daring aviator will undertake to cross the Atlantic. It will be done, eventually, and tha powerful modern steamship may yet find that Its most formidable competitor will be not on the seas, but In the air. Throughout the country there is a clamor for more laws. Some people seem to think that when an evil appears all that is to bo done Is to "ma*e a law." It isn't more IPW that is needed. It is more of the law-abiding spirit in the people that makj the laws lor themselves. 8AMUEL MORLEY SHOT ON LONE PINE ROAD BY ANGRY WOMAN. MARRIAGE REFUSED HER Jealous of the Man's Fiancee and Hinting at Wrongs Suffered, She Coolly Admits the Murder. Half crazy with anger on learning that the man whom she had always considered her sweetheart was to marry another. Bertha Leitzau shot and mortally wounded Samuel Morley Thursday evening on Lone Pine road, Mich. Morley died Friday morning about 7:30 o'clock. Bertha Leftsau Is in Jail awaiting trtal on a charge* of murder. Fanny Patchett, the pretty young fiancee is in tears. She has donned black for the man she was to marry. In an Interview Miss Leitzau said: "He's dead now. That's all there Is to It. I have no regrets. Two weeks ago I learned that he was going to marry Fannie Patchett, and I went to Detroit and bought a revolver. Last night 1 was to go to Detroit to a church social. I took the revolver along because the road to the car was dark. The car I took only went as far as Birmingham, and I decided to return. "I got off at the Lone Pine Tree road. In the dark I met him hurrying to see his new sweetheart. I told him that I was going to the car and was afraid. I asked him to accompany me. As we walked I argued with him. If he had treated me right even then I do not believe I would have hurt him. But he laughed and sneered atd said he never intended to marry me. All this after the years he had used me as a plaything. "I pulled the revolver out of my purse and fired at him. He was only a few feet away. I pulled the trigger twice. They say he was on the ground when I shot the second time. I don't know. I was crazy then. I ran down the road without waiting to see whether he was alive or not. Will Soon Open. After a careful examination of the damage done to the Poe lock in the ramming of the upper gates by the steamer Ellwood, Supt. Sabin, chief of the canal staff, estimates the shutdown will be of no greater than a week's duration and very possibly less. The damaged gate is being removed and one of the upper guard gates will be utilized in its place during the few remaining weeks of the navigation season. The government officials are carefully investigating the circumstances which led up to the accident in an effort to fix the responsibility. To date all the evidence seems to point to a confusion of signals in the engine room of the Ellwood, which was in charge of Floyd Lyon as chief engineer. The closing of the bier Poe lock to vessels is already causing congestion of traffic both up and down bound. A large fleet is waiting to lock through the Canadian canal, which alone is available for all of the larger deepdraft beats. The boats imprisoned by the accident were locked down and later passed up through the Canadian canal. The Crop Report.

Burned the Brewery. The Insurance companies which have sustained losses on account of the recent, destruction of the brewery at Manistique by fire have offered a reward of $250 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the persons who started the blaze. This reward has been supplemented by an equal sum, offered by the owners of the plant. Whether the brewery will be rebuilt will not be decided until the local option question Is out of the way. "Michigan ought to havp statewide prohibition. This local option hasn't settled anything in the state except thtt many people are against it," said Eugene W. Chafln, who was prohibition candidate for president in 1908.

The frats will now demand a retraction. Mrs. Kate Corbett, of Traverse City, has begun suit against three local saloonists for $2,500 damages.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific physicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: "Four years ago I was taken wltk severe gastritis and nothing stay on my stomach, so that I the verge of starvation. .>.»< "I heard of a doctor who has a summer cottage near me—a specialist from.

The somnolent spirits have taken their after-dinner nap and the more strenuous ones have come back from a brisk afterdinner tramp. It's growing colder outside. Twilight is approaching. "^^fgod Within, around the open fire, housemates and guests have gathered for an evening of Thanksgiving jollity. And now what shall we do? No dry, brain-racking game of whist, no stylish hand of bridge—nothing like that is meant for this glorious occasion. Any kind of cards is too exclusive, too cold blooded for this hour. No, next on the Thanksgiving program is an evening of good, wholesome, silly, jolly games. A few suggestions in the line of games of this sort may help the housemother make this Thanksgiving evening is an especially jolly one. "Telegram" is a good game to get every one into good humor as quickly as possible. Supply each member of the company with a pencil and a sheet of paper. Each person is then to say offhand some letter of the alphabet. The letters, in the order named, are taken down by the whole company. The stint set is for each one to write a telegram made up of words beginning with the letters given. All the letters must be used, the original order must be preserved and no extra words can be added. When the telegrams are completed they are gathered in, mixed up and dealt out again that responsibility for and personality in them may be impossible to place. After they have been read, a new set of letters is given and new telegrams 'composed. Very shortly each one in the company will be chuckling with delight over his own efforts and roaring with laughter over the ingenious and ridiculous conglomerations that will be read. From A B C D E F G H I J, for instance, one might produce "Aunt Betsy's cow dying"— "Editha flunked German" — "Holocaust imminent, Jane." Another might make of it "All broken-hearted. Come directly. Ever faithful George has lgnominiously jilted." ''Gossip" is great fun, though no one wants to play it more than a few minutes. Let the entire company stand side by side on a straight line. Then let the person who stands at end whisper something very ly in the ear of his next door »bor. The minute he stops whlsfMffng, the next door neighbor imparts the message just as swiftly and Just,as secretly to his neighbor and so on down the line. When the last person In line is reached the originator of the message tella the company what he aaid and the man at the other end what was naid to him. Of course, the original remark has been garbled. The moral and the laughter are both obvious. Games in which two of the company, confederates, mystify the rest are always fun, although they can, of course, be played only once. Prime among these is "The Wand Passes." One of the company is sent from the room. Another, who is in league with the first, promises that when he holds the wand, which may be a cane or umbrella, over soma member of the company, the exiled member will be able to tell over whom. The door must be left open. The confederates explain that this in order not to interrupt the current of electricity between them> The magic-monger allows the company to chat a few minutes after his confederate has departed. Then he suddenly break* In upon the conversation, waving the wand and saying in a sepulchral tone, "The wand passes." The exile answers from the next room very solemnly, "Let it pass." Again comes the announcement, "The wand passes." and again the answer, "Let it pass." The third time the possessor of the wand holds it over some head and inquires, "The wand rests over whom?" Then Is the exile promptly to answer, "Over so-and-so," naming the right person. The trick is accomplished by having it arranged that the confederate who remains in the room shall hold the wand over the person who spoke last before the announcement, "The wand passes." All the exile in the next room need be able to do is to distinguish the voices of the company. % Another mystifying game is called "Chinese writing." Take grandfather's cane in your hand; request your confederate to step into the hall. All de-s cide upon a rather short word, say, "meat." Both of you understand that you will tap with your cane for the vowels according to their regular order; a, one tap; e, two taps; 1, three taps; o, four taps; u, five taps, and that the first letter of the first word of every remark that you make after your confederate enters will be a consonant of the word she is to guess. The taps of the cane will be the vowels according to their order. As she enters you begin marking on the floor with your cane marvellous characters, which the whole company will watch eagerly. As you write you say casually, "Must I write fast?" Here she gets the "M." Then you make two heavy taps as you write, which, according to the code means "E." After a little more writing make another single tap for the "A." Then say naturally, "Try to follow me very closely," which gives her the "T" to complete the word. Go on writing mysteriously for a moment or two and then ask her if she has read the word all right. She will doubtless be able to tell the company, to their great astonishment. With a little Ingenuity you can make your remarks sound very natural and hence make the trick seem very puzzling. If you have in your company any person good natured enough to appreciate a joke on himself, the following trick will furnish much fun: Announce that you will hypnotize any friend who is willing to follow your directions. Retire from the room and take two cups and saucers. Put your own carefully aside. Then take the other saucer and hold it over a lamp or candle until the under part is covered with soot. Put the cup back in the saucer. Fill the cups with water. Then tell your friend who is to be hypnotized that it is impossible for the spell to work unless he follow your directions exactly. Present him with a cup and saucer. Tell him to hold these in his left hand, and, looking straight into your eyes and nowhere else, to do exactly what you do. Then dip the fingers of your right hand in the water, rub them on the under side of his saucer is thick with cabalistic passes over your forehead and cheeks. The patient to be hypnotized will do the same, and as the under Hide of his saucer is thick with soot every cabalistic pass will leave its mark. The effect on the part of the company who are entirely unprepared for this denouement soon enlightens the victim. The soot scrubs off easily and there is no harm dnne. provided you have been wise enough to select a good natured person for your hypnotic influence. KING ROAD DRAG IS SIMPLE One of the Moat Important Improvers Ever Made—Lasts Longer with Steel Face. The King split log road drag la one of the simplest and most Important improvers ever invented. By using a drag of this kind after each rain, the road may be easily and cheaply kept In good condition ail aummer. The most successful road mastera commence when the tope of the frost nobs begin to get dusty in the early spring months, and before the ground gets hard enough to form clods. It must be dry enough on top so the mud will not stick to the steel scrapers. It is one man's business to watch the condition of the road and use the scraper when the time is right. The drag is easily made from a log split in two in the* middle. The log should be eight feet long and the halves pinned together with two-inch rounds as shown in the c u t A board is placed on these rounds for the driver to stand on, as some additional weight usually is necessary to make LOSS IN PREPARING APPLES King Road Drag. the scrapers cut deep enough. Sometimes the logs are used without steel facings, but an old piece of steel wagon tire, saw blade, or some other suitable material may be picked up in the blacksmith shop and pressed into service. The drag does better work and lasts longer if faced with steel. One chain is longer than the other to permit the earth to Bllde along the face of the scraper towards the center of the road. The use of the drag smooths the road and rounds it so the surface is even and the water runs off quickly after a rain. These are the reasons for the good work accomplised by a tool so simple and cheap. OEVICE FOR LOADING FODDER Illustration Herewith 8hown of One Where a Large Amount of Shock Is Handled. There are a large number of contrivances made for loading shock fodder onto a wagon, some better than others. The illustration herewith shown is one that is in use in some localities where a good deal of fodder is cut up. The rear ladder is substituted with a stout post, well anchored to the rack, on top of which is a pole so ad- A Fodder Loader. justed as to be able to reach out to one side for the fodder and the other with proper leverage. A rope or a chain attached to the short end of pole is thrown around the shock about half way up, and a fork handle thrust through above it BO it will stay there and the whole shock is lifted on the rack. F A R M NOTES. Keep the harness oiled. Weed out the scrubs and breed for type; but be sure you have a definite idea as to what type you want and why. The growing of legumes In older settled agricultural communities is no longer a matter of choice; it is a necessity. If the cow's teats have a tendency to get hard, keep a bottle of vaselina handy and use it occasionally to soften the parts. Germany's acreage In potatoes reaches the enormous number of 8,000.000. The production varies from 40,000,000 to 45,000.000 tons during a season. If the farm is 100 acres In area it wtll be found more profitable to sell sheep for mutton rather than to sell them to other people to get ready for the market. There is nothing like plenty of good fresh air in living and sleeping rooms, whether the rooms bo for the occupancy of man or for animals. This holds good for both winter and aummer. Qvge p* Considerable Amount Is Lost • by. IrnjMoberly Picking and • « p Pa*Wn* .*hf.Crop. f , q3Y IL B. JIU8HINQ.) The best method 1 have ever tried is picking into baskets. These baskets should be aoout nali-bushel round baskets with drop handles. The baskets should be smooth on the Inside—that is, free from strips around the Inside or bottom. They should be lined with burlap to prevent bruising, and a short Iron book should be attached to the handle to suspend the basket from the limbs, so as to enable the picker to use both , hands. The great advantage In using the basket I find lies largely in the fact that if the apples are carefully placed In the same they are not bruised. The worst objections I have to the baskets are that they are not so handy aa the sack and that sometimes careless pickers are disposed to toss apples Into them as they set upon the ground or hang upon a limb a few feet away. My experience is that apples packed from the table and immediately placed in cold storage (If they are to be put Into cold storage) will give by far the better results. This method adds two to four months to the keeping qualities of the fruit You cannot afford to let your fruit lie under the trees or in a building for two or three weeks before you barrel. Every day's delay In packing and shipping will lose you money and quality In your fruit, and if you are not the loser the party who buys It is. Fruit grown In a warm latitude or harvested during a warm September or October must be quickly handled. But when properly handled at picking time, as I have suggested, there will not be much room for complaint A good barrel Is essential if you wish to store your fruit, haTe it keep well and sell well. We suffer from lack of good cooperage. At tight barrel is the best and the better it is made the better results you will have. There will be less loss from shrinkage of fruit from rats and mice and other causes. In my orchard I have eight pickers and six sorters and barrelers in each gang. A good strong table, constructed of light, strong material, is provided. This table is set in the center of 16 trees; sometimes, if the fruit is scarce and the trees are very small, the table is set in the center of 24 or 36 trees. Four or six rows are carried forward at once and the table is moved along the center rows and set in the middle of the square at each move. I usually have one man that nails the hoops, the head liners, and takes out the heads of barrels, as it prevents loss in shipping and facilities in the examination and inspection of fruit in storage. If you have good fruit and it Is worth money in uie market to warrant you in so doing, you should make two grades; one a strictly No. 1 or fancy grade and another which will take fruit that is sligthly defective but good for immediate use, commonly termed No. 2 in the market Usually it will pay aB well or better to sell this No. 2 fruit to the evaporator or the cider mill instead of putting it in expensive barrels, and to this add the cost of freight and commissions, getting no more and perhaps not as much as you would have realized In bulk. A GREAT ANNOYANCE. Clean the Chicken House. The dropping boards should be cleaned at least every other day, and then they should be sprinkled with coarse sand, or even sifted hard coal ashes. If the droppings are allowed to accumulate and the fowls are forced to roost over them, inhaling the deadly gases that escape, weakening their constitutions and making them prey to roup and other ailments. Mice Gnaw Trees. Mice are attracted to an orchard in winter by a covering of dead vegetation on the ground. If the vegetation can be plowed under in the fall it will destroy their nesting and hiding places. Some farmers burn the dead grass and weeds in their orchards in the fall, but this is not good practice, as there is danger of killing the trees by fire, and the dead vegetation is needed for a mulch and to supply humus. Wrapping the base of the trees with tarred paper, to the height of one to two feet will prevent mice and rabbits from gnawing them in winter. Fine •wire netting wrapped around the base of the young trees will answer the same purpose. Plow in Fall. Whore you intend to sow oats next spring or plant corn very early it will pay to plow the ground this fall. It Is especially valuable to fall plow where the ground is heavily covered with weeds. During the winter the soil will have plenty of time to seiT^.e down firmly upon the traah and be come a good seed bed next summer. Kidney Dlsaaaa Shows Many Painful and Unpleasant Symptoms. George S.

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND Deacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony Probably Somewhat Impressed the Jury. Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the pioneers of Utica, N.

On one occasion a friend was engaged in a lawsuit in regard to some land a few miles from Utica. He held the land at a high price. During the trial he called Deaeon Potter as a witness, to prove how valuable the land was. The deacon waa sworn and asked if he knew the land. 'Yes," he replied, "I know every foot of it." "What <fo you think it is worth, Mr. Potter?" was the next question. The old matr paused a moment and then said, slowly: "If I had as many dollars—as my yoke of oxen—could draw—on a sled—on glazed ice—I vow—I would not give—a dollar an acre for it!"—Youth's Companion. SKIN TROUBLES CURED. Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very Badly—In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patchee. Cuticura Met with Great Success. "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but It did not give In until warm weather, when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time. Her sister's arms were also affected. I began using Cuticura Remedies, and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me., Sept. 21, '08." Potter DTU« A Cbem.

'the train had arrived there was go- In the. office of the if the editor watt to be in&n who was aping to do was on, the train. His on hty shoulders and he w o r ^ l & o ^ * * d r a ^ r s and two big revolvers. There was' a grim determination on his facer This fNejtua«is in boots confided to the man in tfce beat with him that the name or the man he was going up to Gold Gulch to kill was Swauaon and that his own name was Fuller. "Hiram Fuller, from Mlzzury," he said by way of introduction. I decided, as 1 sat in the seat behind him and was forced to hear his conversation, that in the matter of names the editor had the best of it, but of course I knew nothing of his ability to shoot. I also learned from nis confidences, as did nearly everybody ejse ill the coach, that it had been many years slace he left his native state, and I judged that he had readily become acclimated in the West. During the long afternoon ride I engaged in conversation with Fuller, tjhe Infuriated, as I had mentally named him. I learned that he was a raachman at Sand Creek and that Swanson had been employed by him. Swanson had made love to his daughter, and that was the cause of all the trouble. Fuller had drivej^Jitm^away at the point of a revolver six months before, and now his daughter Susie had disappeared. She had been gone a month, ostensibly on a visit to some friends twenty miles away, and her father had just learned that she had not been there. His anger was awful. "Swanson's stole her, that's what lie's done," Fuller almost shouted. His wrath increased as he talked, for he believed that Swanson could not make a living for the girl. The ranchman admitted that he knew next to nothing of the young man, except that he had come out West to teach school, and upon failing to find a school had taken up the occupation of a cowboy for more than a year. He also knew that Swanson had come from the lumber region of Wisconsin, but had said very little about his home or kindred. In the course of time it came out that a neighboring ranchman had been wooing the girl before the arrival of Swanson, and it was easy to guess that the father had greatly favored the alliance; but his will was set aside after his daughter had seen the youngr man from the north, and now he proposed to shoot Swanson, who had drifted to the mining town after leaving the ranch, for enticing the girl from home. He had just learned of Swanson's whereabouts from a letter written by hilt which Susie Fuller had. \&ft behind. The train finally crept into Gold Gulch and the passengers alighted- Gold Gulch was busy with its own affairs and the arrival of the train once a day did not disturb it in the least. The train sometimes brought a hundred or more gold seekers, but the Gulch had no interest in them until they had been there long enough to become a part of I t I alighted from the train ahead of the others and made my way up the path toward the lights, fully determined to warn Swanson of his impending doom. When I reached the Courier office I found tHe front door open, but just as I entered, and while the light was sbini&g full upon me, a bullet whistled past, cutting the lapel and one sleeve of my coat. I knew then that Fuller bad divined my purpo4fe- amd made the only extort he could to intercept me. "Where's Swanson?" I asked as goon as I was-inside the door. "Down at the Red Dog," said the printer nearest me, and I passed on through without a pause. The office of the Courier was built of logs and rough boards, with doors of heavy fyjphej,, Back -of-thfe Courier office the ground sloped up toward the frowning peak of the mountain, with not a bush or tree in sight. As I reached the back door I could hear Fuller in the front office and knew he would shoot again at sight of me. I have witnessed his outbursts of wrath. I had not entirely given up the idea of warning Swanson. It was still in my mind, but at. that moment I was more concerned for my own safety. I started blindly to climb the side of the mountain, and twenty feet up the-} slope I grasped a small bowlder that lay but slightly balanced. It rolled down toward the Courier office and closed with a thud the back door, which opened outward and was standing slightly ajar. The fcuilding was •haken, but the door was firmly Closed. The loosening of the bowlder probably aaved my life, for it clotted the door against the coming of Fuller, who was in the act of emerging with a revolver in his hand. I could see no hiding-place on the slope of the mountain, the whole of it being lighted by the moon, so I started toward the Red Dog saloon, stumbling over rocks and across ditches in the rear of the buildings. I stopped at the first one from which the noise of many voices came, and entering the back door, pushed into the crowd. 1 was looking for Swanson, but I did not know him and had no description of him. When 1 saw a young man with flaxen hair and blue eyes I knew, somehow, that I had foimd him, even before I had asked his name. He stood talking to a man who wore an apron and was without hat or coat. "You are Swanson, are you not?'" I asked. "I am," he answered in a clear voice. "What can I do for ypu?" "Fuller is here to kill you," I said. "He came trp irtrm Sand Creek to-day. I was on the train with him. I just left him at the Courier office." "Ay know ham," said Swanson. In his surprise at the announcement he unconsciously went back to the language he had spoken in the Wisconsin lumber camps before he had attended college and became a scholar and an athlete. With the man wearing an apron he went into a rear room and I sought safety in the thickest of the crowd and awaited developments. Other men were called into the back room and the crowd grew more dense about the bar. It was probably an hour before Fuller came in. No sooner had he reached the center of the long bar than he was invited to take a drinkrby a tall miner who. had but recently come from the back room. Fuller refused to drink and the miner became offended. He raised his voice and talked loudly about the insult. Fuller tried to shove him aside, but the tall man crowded him toward the back of the room and became more and more abusive. The ranchman was not a coward, and when he deemed the proper time had come he reached for his revolvers. The holsters were empty! At the same moment that Fuller reached toward his belt the offended miner drew a fevolver and began to shoot. Other revolvers cracked at about the Bame time and the room was rapidly filling with smoke. Fuller's shoulder was grazed and his hat had two holes in it. In spite of his natural bravery it was plain that he was • frightened. At that instant Swanson emerged from the back room with n revolver in each hand, which he emptied in the direction of the big miner, who pitched forward to the floor. Two others with revolvers in their hands also fell, and Swanson seized Fuller by the arm, dragging him through the narrow passage and out at the back door. It was more than a year later that I was coming out of Denver one night on an east-bound train. In the smoking compartment of the sleeper I saw Swanson, well dressed and apparently prosperous and happy. His blue eyes were bright with laughter as I glanced at him. He was on his feet as soon as he looked at me. "I've been searching for you for over a year," he said grasping my hand. "Will you tell me why you didn't register at the hotel that night in Gold Gulch?" I had to admit that the excitement incident to the klllirtg of three men had upset me and that I had forgotten to register. " 'Killing of three men," he quoted, i and laughed loud and long. Knxam back here where my wife; ii'eftd'I'll tell you the whole t j w t f ^ , T ^ We found Mrs. Jp>anaeo, <wao had been Susie Fuller. In the sleeper, playing with the baby.

"It worked out all-right and I took the old man away as. 1 meek as 4hy him that I hadn't stolen his daughter —and I didn't," he added, with' a glance at his pretty wife, who blushed and gave closer attention to the baby. "She came to me," Swanson went on, "and was at home that night in our little house three hundred yards away from that stirring scene." "Well, I guess you wrote and begged me to come," said Mrs. Swanson, defending herself. "You were afraid to come after me." Swanson admitted the truth of her statement proudly. "We waited a week after Daddy Fuller went home," he resumed, "and then I pretended to find Susie. We had been married a month when he came to Gold Gulch, but to make things safe we announced that we had just been married when we went to see'him. He treated us royally and has been to see us several timeB since. He's a regular old idiot about the baby. "There's another thing that may interest you. When you rolled that bowlder down against the backdoor of the Courier office you uncovered one of the richest gold mines in the state, in which you now have a half interest." Adders of Qreat Britain. An adder two fdet 4½ inches in length, killed in Boas-shire, reported recently, isi a large one, but by no means a "record." ••% correspondent of the Scotsman bast kept a record of large adders killed in various parts of the country for many years. One sent him near Kendal, Westmoreland, measured 29½ inches, and a second (same locality), September 2, 1893, ,31 inches. One sent from Beverly, Yorkshire, on July 23, 1898, measured 35 inches, and so far is the largest he has ever heard of in this country. In the Furness district of north Lancashire adders grow to an unusual size, from 25 inches to 30 inches, being apparently the normal development. The correspondent has not a single record of an adder attacking man or beast if not accidentally trod on or wilfully provoked. Adders are most irritable just after recovering from hibernation, and their bites then are perilous. Derivation of "Bible." The word Bible is derived from the Latin name Biblia, which was treated as a singular, although it. comes from the Greek neuter plural, meaning "little books." This Greek diminutive was derived from byblus, or papyrus, the famous material on which ancient books were written. The title "Bible" was first used about the middle of the second Christian century in the socalled second epistlle of Clement. Cxiv, 2). Neurasthenia Test. According to an English court n test for neurasthenia is to make a man stand up, with head erect and eyea closed, and whistle. A neurasthenia subject, it is said, cannot do this. A Cotton-Picking Auto The^ southern planter has often longed fojfcsornething to take may|)laco of the colored brother in the cotton field. To harvest the fleecy staple something like five millions of the black folk are needed. Along has come a man who has been thinking of picking cotton by machinery, and at last an automobile for the cotton fields has come "fntd*use. It seems stranger that no one has ever thought that the contents of the cotton boll could be pulled out by mechanical fingers instead of human fingers. That is what the picker doeR. Instead of two arms, however, it has no less than eight, and a tenyear- old darky can be trained in an hour to guide two of these arms at, such a rate that a machine which traveled over a cotton field in Alabama picked and bagged six bales of fhe staple, weighing five hundred pounds each, in a day of ten hours. This beats the liveliest work which has ever been accomplished by human labor. With an active cotton picker it costs very nearly $5 a bale because the amount of cotton to 8 pound is so enormous.—Van Norden [ Magazine. Make* Others Happy.

Skunk, Mtak. Biaskrat and other*. Top prices. Writ* torn stoctal auotatimu* It is believed that nearly 400 Uvea were lost, in an explosion. In a mine of the St. Paul Coal Co. at Cherry, near Spring Valley, 111. There ,were W6 men at work in the mine when the explosion occurred. About 185 escaped. The entrance of the mine has been boarded over in an attempt to check the flames* raging In the interior. This has checked all hope of escape to the surface by the imprisoned miners. In the three veins of the mine, one 300 feet below the surface, the miners are imprisoned and their only chance for life is to break back to the ends of the veins, where enough air may exist to preserve their lives until help comes. The fans of the mine are stopped-, the wires all burned out and the mouth impenetrably sealed to smother the flames. The first explosion occurred shortly after 3 o'clock. It communicated to other sections of the mine and in less than 10 minutes all hope of escape seemed shut off from the miners. While smoke and even Jets of flame swept up through the, entrance of the mine the cage which carried the miners to their work continued to ascend and descend. The first loads brought up a score of miners, who escaped twith no worse injuries than burns .jor, bruises received in the rush for safety. The last trip of the cage was made when the bodies of the mirfe superintendent and his assistants arose. The men were dead when the car reached, the surface. Those about the flit mouth expressed .'th«*;.beiift»ibat hey were dead or dying when placed in the cage. None survived to tell the story of the trip. Twelve bodies have been taken from the mine. The bodies were taken from the shaft while a fire was burning fiercely in the interior and smoke pouring in dense volumes from the mouth of the pit. They were soon put in cages and lifted to the surface by unknown heroes, who sacrificed their lives in a vain effort to save them. The fire causing the explosion, which may prove one of the greatest tragedies in the list of mine horrors, had an origin almost trivial. A pile of hay allowed to smoulder too long finally ignited the timbers of the mine. and before the workers realized their danger, the mine was* filled with smoke, gases and flames and all .exit wwMmpaisslBle. +*. .-',. Heroism such as is rarely exhibited was shown by officials of the mine and residents of the town of Cherry.

Cooks or chefs are seldom generous in giving away rroipes for special dishes, and It is a well understood trick that the measuring of ingredients will be changed in order to bring disaster to the edible which has aroused desire. "Oh, do tell me how this cake or that sauce Is made?" Is frequently heard among housekeepers, but the chances are the "replica" turns out very differently from the original. Occasionally one falls on a trustworthy and willing sharer of special cookery. It seems a Russian chef of eminence has actually sent over to the chef at a famous New York hostelry his formula for making a cer* j at 2:30. tain famous dish. The compliment will be appreciated by all Russian patrons of the house. The politeness of these kings of the kitchen might well be imitated in humbler circles, and American palates must begin at once to cultivate a taste for Rus^'an food, prepared by artists. Williamson Poultry and Pet Stock Association are making great preparations for their exhibition to be held at that place Dec. 14,1909. There are s-oae societies who do not understand as yet that it costs money to publish a newspaper and seem to think that a paper is published for their own especial benefit. We are glad to give all such societies, classes, etc., the use of the columns of the Ois- ' PATCH for all their announcements where there is no admission, tree. Where they want an announcement for a social or entertainment where a charge is made our rates are the same to them as to any other business that is advertised in the paper. Many societies understand this and are very kind but there are those who come in at a late day in the week, ask tor space for a program cr a dwen or twenty lines (on first page now remember) and then even forget to say "thank you."

Publisher, PINCKNBT. - - - MiCHICUpJ THE FLVGHT TO CANADA. Last year 60,000 persona possessed of 60,000,000 American coined dollars or the equivalent crossed over to the new land of plenty, and this year the official figure will show that 70,000 persona and 170,000,000 have followed. Ten, yean ago the number* were too slight to excite comment. Ten years hence the loss or desirable Americans doubtless will outnumber.the gala of foreigners, with a corresponding loss of dollars In proportion to which the gain through Immigration will be beggarly. While It Is not likely that tin* exodus of farmers will continue to in* crease at its present ratio, that them will be a steady stream pouring over the line for many yean is the belief of those qualified to speak. Canadian statisticians figure that by the end of the century the population will have Increased to 50,000,000, with ample room for as many more. That the full significance of the movement has not dawned on the people of this country is evident from the fact that press and public are still bidding god-speed to the departing thousands of good citizens, and without giving a thought as to the disappearing millions of good money. When they come to see things In another light there is apt to be great agitation of mind, says Washington Post. But what can we do about it? Against the Inrush of Impecunious foreigners it is possible to erect barriers, but against the outnish of well-to-do farmers what obstacle can be interposed? What alternative can be urged? '• The announcement that the Russian government is arranging for a loan of $126,000,000 from British capitalists is significant of changed conditions in European politics. The alliance between France and Russia long gave preference to French, money lenders whenever the St. Petersburg government required funds. The bulk of the money needed for the war with Japan was raised in Parti; aid the reof the French Haaiieters to their loans, in Tiew of the Russian disasters on sea and land, was a very powerful factor In moving Russia to accept the proffered mediation of this country. 3ut the dual alliance Is pd lonfer a supremely, important factor In Russian politics or in Russian finance. An understanding has been reached with England which, while not constituting an offensive and defensive alliance, has done much to allay suspicion and to promote good will. FIND DEER IN HIDDEN PITS GAME LAW VIOLATORS ARfc RIVKALEO AT ESC ANA4A. WARDENS; NO ARRESTS. Battle Creek Council Holds Up City Pay Roll U Spite Her Mayor- President of D. A M. Railway Arrested for Contempt. It's really surprising the number of dead deer that are suddenly making their appearance since the opening ol the deer season, and most of them have been dead for several weeks, despite the fact that the season did not open until November 10. Search about Delta county would reveal sundry pits, thickets, hunting lodges and other places of concealment beneath or In which the carcasses of deer found repose until the formal open lag of the season. Perhaps In no section of the state are the state game laws protecting deer violated with more deliberate disregard than in Delta county. The county has Its share of game wardens —it has more than Its share of deer —yet not a single arrest for violations of the ordinance has been made in the past two months. Less than a half-dozen arrests have been made throughout the county In the last four months. Public-spirited citizens are planning to bring the matter personally to the attention of the state department, In the hopes of having the flagrant evil checked at least to a great extent. The new regime in Turkey promises to be of more than sentimental Interest In the United States. The development of the country offers opportunities for successful American enterprise. Modern methods of agriculture, with the use of machinery, will render profitable great tracts of land. Mud mineral wealth also awaits development. Inland towns need railways and wagon roads. Constantinople, a city of nearly a million* inhabitants, has no electric lights or railways *sd no telephone. It has inadequate waterworks and only a poor ice plant Capital is invited to make investments, and promises are made of large concessions and franchises. No king ever showed a more conciliatory spirit than King George is displaying in the face of the present troubles in Oreece. He exhibited this spirit anew in the manner in which he compelled his sons to resign from the army. At his instance the chamber of deputies passed the bills abolishing the right of the crown prince to serve as commander-in-chief, and that of the other princes to hold commissions, By his own act, therefore, the military party which brought on the revolution of last August is deprived of its last ground for complaint against the dynasty. President of D. A M. Railway Arrested. James D. Hawks, president of the Detroit & Mackinac railroad, was taken Into custody at Alpena on a capias issued from the Cheboygan circuit court by order of Judge Sheperd on a charge of contempt of court. Ten days ago the D. & M. was enjoined by Judge Sheperd from placing cars of material consigned to the Alpena Power Co. on any other track except the spur near the power dam. It IB alleged that the cars are not so placed, hence the contempt proceedings. Hawks was not jailed and will furnish bond if required. The matter is another phase of the fight between the Alpena Shippers' association and the railroad. The latter refuses to use the side track over the power company property, thus shutting off log shipments to the two mills. It is alleged the railroad agreed to build another track to the mills, and as this is not yet done damage suits will probably result. BRIEF MICHIGAN NEWS. Hold Up Pay Roll to Spite Mayor. As a result of a ruction between Mayor John W. Bailey, Battle Creek's strenuous and self-assertive executive, and the common council over the letting of the city printing contract, all the employes of the city threaten to quit within a week. The city printing has been done by the Battle Creek Journal, but about a week ago the mayor let the contract to the Enquirer without the approval of the council, it is said. Out of revenge for his act the council refused to approve the entire city pay roll. leaving the flre department, board of public works, police and all the city departments without money to pay their employes. The various department heads threaten that unless their men are paid off within a week they will all resign.

Fourteen cases have been reported, and there are several suspects, besides, but the city authritles appear to have taken hold in good time, and have the situation well In hand. The board of health is preparing a pesthouse on Kearsley Btreet, and practically all the doctors in town are on a vaccinating tour.

Members of the Grand Rapids board of public works attempted to hold a meeting on the top of the new 225- foot smokestack at the water works pumping station. After a hasty glance at the scenery, however, the men made a quick descent from the dizzy hlght. State Land Commissioner Russell, who is attending the land congress in Chicago, has written Assistant Carton that the exhibit of fruits and vegetables from the northern counties of Michigan are the main attraction, and are receiving much favorable notice from experts. The creditors of the defunct First National bank, of Ironwood, whioh closed its doors in June, will receive their first dividend of 15 per cent this week.

Phelps became financially cmbarrased and killed himself, In the probate court at Port Huron the estate of Gideon Browning, who was slain in the Battle Run church by Rev. Carmichael, a year ago, was settled. The estate, which amounts to $8, will be divided between Browning's widow and his son. Browning had $1,- 000 Insurance on his life, but this was turned over to the son shortly after his death. Frank Guerrtes, of Battle Creek, whose wife, Marie, has started suit against Dr. Theodore S. Sands for $25,- 000 damages, alleging that the latter hugged her so hard he caused an abscess to form nnd-er her arm, feels that he was also damaged and says that he will start a second suit for damages, for being deprived of his wife's society. Dr. Sands seems less worried* about the affair than he la Indignant. The trouble between the Alpena Power Co. and the Detroit & Mackinac railroad has been settled temporarily until the courts can decide on Its merits. The railroad placed car» for the power company and the Island Mill Lumber Co. on the disputed spur Thursday. The state railroad commission will probably make a ruling, The contempt, proceedings against J. D. Hawks, vice-president of the road, may be dropped. A carload of household goods, valued at $8,000, belonging to Mrs. Jane Dowie, widow of the late prophet of Zion City, arrived from Muskegon at Ben Mac Dhul, the White Lake home, and now curio hunters are flocking to purchase some of the treasures. Among the goods was a grandfather's clock, which Dowie paid $2,000 for, and many valuable paintings. All the goods will be sold and the proceeds will be used by Gladstone Dowie In enlarging his chicken farm ZEtAY* JEXECUTES II IMS WERE SERVING WITH THB RiVOLUTIONIftT ARMY IN NICARAGUA. TAFT ANGRY; SENDS SHIPS Sentence Believed to Have Been Carried Out by 3Qldi«rs—Warships Be* ina Pushed to Port Llmon to Protect U. 8. Intereets. . Two Americans, Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon, captured while serving with the revolutionist army In Nicaragua, have been sentenced to death by President Zelaya's orders and It is believed that sentence has already been carried out. The cruiser Vlcksburg has been ordered to proceed in all haste to Corinto, and the gunboat Des Moines will proceed at once to Port Limon to observe events there and report the situation at that point by wireless. The meeting between President Taft and the new minister from Nicaragua, Isidoro Hazera, has been indefinitely postponed. The news as to the two Americans reached the state department from the American consulate at Managua, and stated that their capture had been followed almost immediately by a death sentence. The consul immediately appealed to President Zelaya to commute their sentences, and his answer was: "I will see." Later, on further appeal, Zelayja said: "The sentence was final." A dispatch received at the state department is to the effect that the men have been undoubtedly executed. Upon this information the secretary of state asked the secretary of the navy to order the Vlcksburg to proceed In all haste to Corinto for the purpose of protecting Americans and American Interests. The Des Moines was also ordered to proceed to Port Limon at top speed for the same purpose. These vessels will be in constant communication by wireless with the state department. The execution of the Americans is believed to have taken place at or near Elcostlllo, which is in the immediate vicinity of Greytown. The brutality of the Nicaraguan government in ordering the execution of these Americans who happened to be found in the revolutionists' army, without trial of any sort, Is likely to result in this government's taking drastic measures to prevent a repetition of it and President Zelaya will be held to a atrict accountability for his action. President Taft on receipt of this news was so incensed at the action of Zelaya that he immediately announced thai he would have no communication whatever with the new Nicaraguan minister and that official was promptly so informed. WIRELETS. Gen. Bingham will be appointed superintendent of public works in Manhattan. Plans for a $2,400,000 memorial to George Washington in Washington are being made.

The shifting human atoms might be classified as four bunches: the small-boy bunch, three women circling about a stolid and annoyed boy; the tobacco bunch, four, unshaven men; the parson— black of clothes, pallid, yet strong of face—and his friend, a prosperous business man by the look of him; and, the fourth division, a solitary individual. This last was young, and so strongly built that muscle was the first Impression on looking at him. His listless movements were powerful, his face was cast In a virile mold, but It was strength and beauty gone wrong. The face was lined with unhappiness; the eyes were dull; a swinging walk lapsed to a lurch; his coat collar was up and his hat brim down, his clothes were shabby. The hypothetical observer would have seen that the man avoided with some effort the clergyman and his friend. As they came toward him down the long platform, walking briskly for warmth, talking earnestly together, he watched them from under his shadowing hat-brim, turned his back as they neared him, and disappeared behind the station. His hands in the pockets of bis overcoat, he stared out at the fields with resentful eyes. He came to a stop in front of a bench, and, dropping into it, drew out a letter. The thin envelope fell open as if read often before. "Dear Carl," the writing ran, "I saw Peterson two days ago and he told me you were playing in bad luck. There's an opening out here in my business for a person who knows several languages, and you came to my mind. Would you care to take it? You would have to put up a thousand or two, and that, beyond traveling expenses, would be all the money necessary. I think you would like it. The business is going :o be a, big one, and we are making money now. There is plenty of work, but plenty of play also of the kind you're good at—tennis and polo and that sort. And there's the certainty of a fresh start in life with every chance of a solid career. "I'm sure you know what a pleasure it would be to me, because it's always been a pleasure to be with you since the first days of Groton. Think it over and send me a line by New Year's so I may know during January. I repeat that I want you and that I hope ytfu may care to come." The letter was dated from Hong Kong. "Care to come!" The man flapped the paper with a gesture of despair, and at the second a door creaked mournfully behind him, opened halfway, and the clergyman's clear-cut speech sounded through it. "You don't mind the draft?" the voice asked. "It's close in here." The man outside, the letter clasped against 'his knee, did not stir; he lis tened Intently. The two within sat down without seeing him, back to back with him, the wall between. r word they Bpoke came out to distinctly. "Why don't you put that bag on the ? You hold on to it as if it were treasure," the pleasant, easy tones of the parson continued. The big man's answer came after a second's pause. "It Is treasure," he said briefly. "Do you mean—Sidney, you're not driving home alone to-night with the men's wages?" "No, not alone. Tomlinson meets me." "Tomlinson! He's nothing. That la •—he's a good coachman, of course, but the mildest ruffian could do up Tomlinson with one hand. A great protection!" "I doft't want protection," the n\cm voice half-laughed. "I can protect myself— and Tomlinson." The man outside could all but see *dg?3 the clergyman's head shake disapprovingly. "I don't nke it. It's six miles and you'll have to go through the River Mills—the other road's impassable. There's a bad lot of roughs there Just now. Pat O'Hara—who used to be my man-of-all-work—told me about It last week. He's working now on the Falls' bridge, and lives two miles this side. He saya they're genuine desperadoes. It will be known that you're comingit's always known. What possesed you to go back at night?" "Delayed," the laconic tones answered. "A meeting of the board of directors." "Well, delay a bit longer, and you may save time," the clergyman threw back. "Don't go home to-night, Sidney— it's really unsafe." "Must get home for Christmas morning—couldn't disappoint the baby," said the steady voice. "I know," the clergyman agreed. "I'm In the same box. Yet," he harked back, "it's taking too much The confident voice, the voice of a personage, went on, but the ahabby figure outside relaxed, shivering * bit,, against the wall of the station. He was thinking fast, but his listening now was less careful; ae knew the rest; his data were f collected. There was a whistle down the- track, and a wave of humanity diew together; the train pulled In, toe man hovering in the background waited to see Mr. Maxwell of Maxwell Field, in a fur-lined ulster with its collar and cuffs of sable, and the thin clergyman in his overcoat a little gray at the seams, enter a car together, before he sprang unnoticed into the car behind them. The two big children and their Bmall mother sat on the rug before the fire, the fire being an especial luxury for Christmas Eve. The nursery was a pleasant room; the spendthrift firelight washed brightness over gay colors of coarse stuffs, over cheap prints of fine pictures, over the whitewashed walls and the peace of the two white beds folded back for the night. There was a homelike atmosphere, full of the alert leisure of a house where much is done. The children leaned close against the woman between them; the glrl'B hair was spread on her mother's shoulders, and the boy's angels, to h i m * slide) *»* real, a shade more holy than his another.

"Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels— praising God—who thus addressed their joyful song." An atheist would have got an impression, hearing him tell it, that the bor had. seen with his eyes and heard with his ears what he related. There was a silence, as the sturdy tones ended and Benny's eyes gazed on lnjto the heart of the fire, as If they saw la a vision the still eastern night, th< shepherds on the hills, the white flight of angels. "You repeated It very nicely/' Mr* Harding said softly, and put her moutli against his head again. "Now you shall have yours." The big 11-year-old girl caught hei mother's hand—a hand worn wit housework and sewing—and held I against her cheek. " 'Twas the night before Chrietmai when all through the house," the wi man began, and went on, as man women have begun and gone on wlti the charming old poem, to children ot Christmas Eve. The fire crackled ii the pauses, and the logs fell apar with gentle heaviness, an accom paniment to the swinging sentences "Now Just one more, children deal and you really must go to bed. It'i very late—look! It's almost nine,' and the girl and the boy cried out to gether. "Oh, the Beasts! The Beasts!" They pressed against her, a head o* either shoulder, and held her hands in theirs, while Bhe told them a tale of a boy in a German forest whose father and mother were so poor that there was not enough to eat in the house. She told them how he lay in his cot on Christmas Eve and heard them plan; how he listened as they divided what food was left into three portions for to-morrow's breakfast, the largest for the boy; how he sobbed to himself In the dark as he heard them arrange to kill his two friends, the old horse Frledel and the old cow Minna, rather than let them starve to death. (TO BE CONTINTUED.) "The Man Drew a Sharp Breath." risk. You have no right to run such a risk. How much are you carrying?" "Three thousand dollars." The man outside drew a sharp breath as if the distinct words had hit hira. Three thousand dollars! The clergyman inside repeated them. "Three thousand dollars! It's too much to carry after dark through a nest of banditti." "Banditti!" The other's tone protested. But Dr. Harding persisted. "At least leave the money .in town." "Where?" Maxwell asked. "The banks are closed. The men's wages must be paid the twenty-sixth. I'll carry it safe enough—the Maxwells have carried their employes' wages to Maxwell Field for five generations." The clergyman's reply was serious. "With two Maxwells killed to discourage the practice," he said. There was silence for a moment. Then, "I see what can be done," the older man spoke. "Give me the money. I'll take it to the rectory to-night, and to-morrow you'll all be over to service and you can fetch it back. How is that?" "You've a lonely drive, too." "Only two miles," said Harding. "And there's no danger for me. Nobody suspects a parson of money." Maxwell considered, hesitated. "I think I'll accept your offer, doctor," he said at last. "Quarles. the manager, objects to my landing with a bag which I carry carefully myself, as I must when it's loaded this way." The man outside, strained forward, could Imagine the manufacturer's hand laid on the stout bag on his knee. "My dress-suit case I throw at somebody to be put into th* trap, and I think no more of it, but this I keep by me, and I'm so well known about the country that they are familiar with my ways." irm was around her and his head pressed her arm. "Say 'The Night Before Christmas' again mother," he begged. "You promised you'd say it next." "No, she ^didn't, Benny," objected the girl. "Sfre only promised she'd say it again; she hasn't said 'While Shepherds Watched' at all yet, or told us the story of the beasts on Christmas Eve. Have you, mother?" "My knee, Benny—you weigh a ton, dear," remonstrated the mother, pushing a heavy foot. "We'll do this, Alice. Benny knows 'While Shepherds . Watched' as well as I, and if he'll say it, then I'll do The Night Before Christmas,' and the story, and just anything you want." "I like your saying of it, mother, better than I do Benny's. He always makes the angels talk like people," Alice demurred. But the boy, undisturbed by criticism, began at once. His large brown eyes fixed on the fire, he recited, slowly and conscientiously, the twohundred- year-old Christmas carol: While Shepherds watched their flocks by night All seated on thfi unround, The angel of the Lord came down And f?lory ahone around, the reedy voice repeated, and a listener might have understood what Alice meant. It was much as if John Jones had met William Smith ^and mentioned to him a matter of news about a mutual friend, an angel. But to the woman who listened with the boy's head against her shoulder, the incongruous inflections were sweet; the audacity of it seemed to bring so near, that it thrilled her, a night when, for another Child's sake, the skies had rung with a song that has echoed always. Benny's fresh tones disclosed, with careful conversational emphasis, more and more facts about SOME IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS How f Make the Home L a s * sVtfM Cheerful far Holidays. In massing holly for use on the Christmas table It repays one to wipe off the leaves with a cloth dipped In a very little olive oil, says the Housekeeper. Tall candles should light the feast and the holly leaves reflect the twinkling lights In a beautiful manner. If a chandelier hangs over the dining table a feature which will delight the children is to have a nosegay of artificial flowers suspended from the chandelier to within a foot of the table by means of a red ribbon. This bouquet should have the paper puff of the oldtime fashion, and the bouquet itself will be found to be a shower bouquet, one small noseegay for each person, in the depths of which some trifling gift is hidden. Snowballs of cotton, tightly wound with white ribbon, also conceal gifts most attractively, while the cheap hut pretty little Santa Claus candy boxes, for sale at favor shops, are effective upon the Christmas table, and will hold quite a good-Bized package, or, of course, may be used to hold the bonbons for which they are intended. For a luncheon or high tea during Christmas week, a beautiful table may be set by employing the use of green linen runnera embroidered in white. A holly bell or a bunch of red earns* tions in a cut-glass vase will touch the center of the table to brilliancy and soft garlands of southern moss may lightly edge the linen runners, or doilies if they be used instead. The colonial glass candlesticks are still in favor, and nothing is more attractive in a country house. With tall green or red tapers, a group of these candlesticks placed in a mass of holly as a centerpiece is both appropriate and beautiful. A quaint little Christmas tree may be used as a centerpiece by procuring at the florist's a little "pepper plant," which has lovely green leaves and red berries. Wound with glittering tinsel and tied with candied fruits held in place with wee baby ribbons, or hung with little favors of French jewelry or articles of trifling worth, the little tree makes a centerpiece of charm.

B u t while w e a r e lotlng faith In the miraculous there la a growing disposition to explain wonders scientifically. I a m especially subject t o thought transference, a n d so la my wife. W h e n together a thought no sooner enters the head o f one of u s than t h e other g i v e s expression t o I t 1 a m a scientific man and expect t h e time t o come when one will be able t o detect the subtle cause or means o f this communication. Some years a g o I went ae scientist on an exploring expedition. We were obliged to enter into an ocean that w a s then comparatively unknown. Our maps were the best that could be obtained, but had not received the same attention as other districts. Besides, convulsions beneath the s e a are constantly occurring to change the conditions. We were sailing northward, within a hundred miles of a coast running northeast and s o u t h w e s t I t was Dear midnight I w a s sound asleep in my berth. Suddenly I awoke. What occurred during this awakening I am not going to attempt to explain except negatively. It w a s not a dream. It w a s not a vision. I heard nothing. I s a w nothing. It w a s rather a consciousness. In that infinitesimal bit of time, during which I passed from a sound sleep to a wide awake condl-) tion, my wife, w h o w a s Beverai thousand miles distant from me, was gesticulating wildly, convulsed with terror, pointing and crying, "Keep off!" As I have said, I received this a s a brain impression. T h e moment I w a s awake it w a s gone. There were t h e usual roil of the ship and creaking of timbers, and I looked out of the porthole. T h e night w a s starlight and there w a s but a fair wind. Nevertheless what had occurred had impressed me thoroughly with a sense of danger. I arose, put on my clothes and went 00 deck. T h e officer in charge, John Jacobson, w a s pacing the after deck. There w a s no land 10 sight, nothing but a broad expanse o f ocean. "What la it?" asked the officer a s I Joined him. "Why do you ask the question?" "Why? You wouldn't be coming up here at this time of night for nothing Besides, yon look as if you'd seen a ghost." "John," 1 replied, "will you do something for me without a reason?' "What is It?" "That's shoreward out there, Isn't It?" I pointed westward. "Yes." "Put her off to n o r t h w e s t " "Good Lord! What for?" "It w a s to be without a reason." "What will the old man do to me?" "I'll take tbe responsibility and stand between y o u and him. Come, Jobri, be quick! There's danger ahead!" H e seemed to catch an inspiration of fear from rae and gave the necessary orders. As the ship w a s rounding to her n e w course I went to the port gunwale and looked over. "Come here, quick!" J called to t h e officer. He came and looked over the side with me. "What's that?" I asked. "1 see nothing," be replied. "Not that whitish line out there?" He continued to peer and suddenly cried under his breath. "Great heavens!" then gave the order to the helms man to sheer off to starboard. H e saw. as I did, a thin white line. It could only be foam and could only come from submerged rocks. It ran north and south, broken here and there by the dark wat^r to reappear farther on. We got only a glimpse of It, for our change of course served to take us away from It. For n time w e both stood with bated breath, every moment expecting a shock or t o hear the hold beneath n s grating on a reef. Then I went below and called the captain. We s a w no more evidences of the sunken reef, but on reaching the next port learned that It had been recently discovered by others. Its appearance dated from the last earthquake 0 0 t h e coast. 1 made a note of the day. hour aud minutes aa near as tbe Intter was poeaible, that my warning came to me, and when some months later I returned to my wife I told her my story Without waiting to hear me through'1 she interrupted to tell me that while 1 was away she had dreamed she s a w our ship sallifig toward a m n k e n reef. She tried to warn us off. but could not do so. Her termr'n\vuk** her. She looked up the date uud found it tallied with my memorandum.

Twice or thrice the Winds h a d been minded to brush the tolling insects away, but bad thought batter of It; they Were so very iusigniflcawU thaoe ifttle t>imcit specks up on tba :«dges of the snows. :M last the three men and the ponies aqd the taciturn dog climbed up above the clouds, and came out upon a bare flank of mountain, upon a long slope of. soft crumbled rock ending in a thirty-foot wide . ledge, and a clear drop of nearly eight hundred reet. ?WeU, aire," saW Macavoy, the tall, brown man with the black beard, owner of Taya the dog. "Well, sirs, I've brought you here safe. Now you have but t o scratch i' tke ground, for the whole face o' t h e hill's riddled wi* veins and pockets of gold. I've done my p a r t So to-morrow, by your leave, Taya and I'll be goin' our ways." "Stay with us," cordially entreated DalsWorth, artist, journalist, and wanderer to the ends of the earth, "stay with us, and work on shares. When you led us to this place you fairly laid fortune in our hands." "And was paid for so doin'," answered Macavoy with his slow smile, **paid liberally, accordin' to our agreement. I'm but the guide. Twice or thrice I feared I was astray, for it's •three years since I was here. No, I'll not stay, thankin' you none the less. We'll be goin* our ways, me and Taya. Eh, old lass?" The dog laid her head on the man's knee, and curled her lips back expectantly. "If you don't mind," said young Urquhart abruptly, "I'll call that dog Monna Lisa. She has the same bony forehead and superior smirk. Oh, I know It's heresy, Dal, but don't you s e e t h e likeness? You could esteem Monna Lisa, but you could never love bar. Give me a dog, likewise a worna a , that you can c h u c k ' under the •MB." Macavoy looked from one to the other, a puzzled crease on his weatherbeaten forehead. "Taya has wolf blood in her," he ventured; "maybe that's why she's different from others." "To go back to what we were speaking* of when Urquhart cut in," said Dalsworth, "why won't you stay? Oh, our agreement doesn't matter. Chip in with us. When you came away from this place before, you threw aside a fortune. Don't let it go a second time." "I thank you very kindly," said Macavoy with no hesitation, "but I'll be goin' in a day or so. I mean no offense to you who think different, but to me, a shadow and a sorrow would go with this gold. Yes, I've been here before. That's why I'll not stay here now." "You hinted of spooks before," said Dalsworth with a friendly impatience, "but surely you weren't in earnest? Go on with the story." Macavoy bent his head, and absently fingered Taya's upstanding ears. "I know no story," he said in a low voice: "the story lies in what. I do not know, and can but guess at—In all that I shall never know for sure. If Taya here could speak, she'd tell you more than I can. Dogs at times can hear and see more than men, and she's a wolfs eyes and cars. I'd a friend once, a Frenchman, who said that a wolf could hear the very footfalls o' the Angel of Death. You'll mind that, when I told you o' this place, I said there was a shadow over it? I can but tell you what that shadow may be. "I've thought much on the matter, fitting in fact with fancy, till at length and at last, I've got a story that'll serve. It may be far from the truth. But there's naught, left, to verify it, save the rusty pick you saw, Mister Urquhart, lyin' in that little hole in the hillside. "Yes, I've thought so long on it, that. a t last it's come to seem as if I'd seen it all—seen the hill when there was no little hole there, seen him who owns the pick." "Him?" said Dalsworth, "him? Who? A hermit in the wilderness?" "The Siwashes have a name for him," said Macavoy in a very low voice, "which we can best translate as He-Who-Is-Not." "He-Who-Is-Not?" asked Dalsworth again with a rising inflection on the words. "Yes," said Macavoy simply, "for you see, sirs, he's been dead now a matter o' three years, I take it. Macavoy dropped his hands heavily on his knees. "God rest his soul," he said softly, "God rest his soul, aa the Irish say. whoever he was. For, 0 sirs, when he left T^BaJekulhre Uk# a bright cloud behind him, and lilted n i t face to the stars, he was a doomed man! He thought that Fprtufea asopd wujtin' him on the top o' tfefe mountains, but when Fortune took. h j r wings from before her face, she looked at him with the eyes o' Death," Dalsworth drew in his breath sharply, and glanced at the wonderful world of peak and lope, of cloud and infinite sky, which encircled their Uny camp. Night seemed to have settled, a visible brooding presence. Upon uto everlasting b*Hs. ^ \ i «' "I can see him-—him that's galled by the SlwasheB He-Who-Is-Not—I can see him, whatever his name may have been, coming upon Just this place, as we have after him. Perhaps he greeted wi' joy, or maybe he prayed, or maybe he swore. "Tis all one—now. He began his boy's pickin' and scrapin' among the rocks, and made his untidy camp on this ledge. Haven't ye seen many and more o' such slovenly, pitiful, tenderfoot camps? "He scraped and scratched among the rocks, his heart fair buratln* wi' joy, maybe, two, three, even four days. Ye can tell by the size o' the hole, though it's part filled up now through the wash o' the weather. And then one night he flung hlB pick down, maybe, and went and stoocLon the brink o' this very ledge, loogln' out upon the t i l l s , before h$got>'hls supper. " '•' ' "Perhaps 'twas just such a nlghf aB this, with a round moon rldin' clear, and the chasm all one white flat sea o' cloud. Perhaps, as he stood there, Gtretchin' his stiff arms proudly, astone caught him between the shoulders, a stone thrown from t h e ' h a n d o* that woli-shadow that had followed him— and whirled him outwards from the ledge, as the storm whirls a bird from its cliff-nest. I seem to see that black whlrlin' shape rushln" down, down, down—a vast sprawlin' shadow outspread upon the floor of cloud beneath. I seem to see the shape and its shadow rushin' together, growin' smaller, becomin' one; and no more. For that chasm, sirs, would take the lass?' l says to her, and she growlb, again. Some unclean thing had nested in that tent, drunk all them mixed liquors, and then gone, as if in fright, touchin' no more—not even some bits o' gold In a little brown canvas bag. "There was that about the matter that weighed upon me so that I sent all the tent and everythin' in it ov«r the rocks there. I'd Veen the pick on the hilljjlde, and by this and that I'd read the story plain. We'd lived among cleaner, kinder things, me and Taya, and we'd no mind to meddle wi' gold which had that shadow on I t 'We'll make enough out of it by tellin' other folks.' I says to Taya, 'we'll have no finger in this pie, old teas. 'Tis cursed from the beginnin' "The morn In" came up clear behind Tsalekulhye, and Taya and I went our ways. We carried the secret «?* t h e gold with us—and more than that, more than that. I had heard. Taya, maybe, had both seen and heard, for she looked at me wi' her yellow eyes and tried to tell me what she knew. Aye, as the gold had drawn that poor fool, livin", so it drew him, dead." He paused, and again one of the restless ponleB whickered in the alienee. "Do you mean that He-Who-Is-Not ' w a l k s ? ' " asked Dalsworth at last, bluntly. Macavoy nodded slowly. "I have not seen, ye understand," he an- Bwered, "I only hear. But I know that He-Who-Is-Not finds no rest." "Poor fool," said Urquhart softly, "poor young fool. You're sorry for him, eh, Monna Lisa?" The dog looked across the fire to the black slope above where the stars hung in splendor above the last faint crest of Bnow. Urquhart followed her gaze, huddling deeper into his blanket. "But—but I don't see—" began Dalsworth argumentatively. "Then listen," said Macavoy, "listen." Dalsworth listened. And an odd expression dawned in his eyes, and expression half-pitiful, half-incredulous, wholly wondering. Softly, he took off his cap, as one takes it off in the presence of the dead. What was the faint ghost of sound, thin, distant, yet not to be mistaken, that came to his ears? Was it the "tchink, tchink" of a miner's pick upon loose stones? Lost 8t.

The first definite clue to the fate of the young man reached his home when Vera Me Crory, his cousin, returned from Newberry, where he has been aiding in t h e search, and told a tragic story of Brownell'g mishap. According to McCrory, Brownell was seen last Friday, four days after he disappeared, near a hunting camp about 12 miles from his own camp. A young woman with whom he went to school at Big Rapids, hiB former home, a n d wh$ I s in the woods with her father and brother hunting deer, reported to the searchers juBt before McCrory left that Brownell passed near their camp on t h a t 4*P> The young woman who recognized him but did not know he was missing, called to Brownell, she afterwards told the searchers. Brownell, she said, wheeled about, raised his rifle, deliberately aimed it at her and fired. The bullet missed her and crashed into a tree just back of her. Brownell then ran and disappeared in the forest. The young woman is certain Brownell was a raving maniac when he fired at her. This belief was shared by old hunters, who declare that men who become lost in the woods after roaming about for days, often go stark mad. whole tragedy, wl' little but a faint o v e r 5 0 p e r c e n t o f t l m n i e n e ? stir i' that green fur o' pines, so far l n e d h a d t h e r i g h t a i m stronger i below." Urquhart looked out at the chasm, a pot of silently bubbling pearl beneath the moon, and shuddered. Taya whined again. "God rest his soul," said Dalsworth softly. "But does it rest?" whispered Macavoy. His eyes glittered strangely in the red glow of the fire. "Does It rest? "I cannot see that wolf-shadow who followed him, whose hand sent him Into eternity, very clear. But I do know that the Si wash got no payment for his crime. He never stayed to take any. "When I came upon this place nearly three years agone, I found the wreck of a little t e a t on this very ledge. No, not here, Mister Urquhart, at i' other end where yon big rock slopes down. It was battered by a winter's weather, but by the snow, ye understand. I read the Bigns of It. It had a tenderfoot for owner, by the truck in it. Such truck ye never see, chiefly in bottles. I mind there was chlorodyne, ammonlated quinine, plain ammonia, and whisky—good whisky. Aye, I had the bottles to my nose, and besides there were the labels. But they were all empty, and flung about in a muddle o' rotted blanket. Taya had 'em to her nose, and growled, readin' more than I. "Slwaah, old Relative Strength of Man's Limbs. As a result of some very interesting experiments made at Washington recently, with a view to determine the relative strength of right and left limbs, it has been ascertained that examthan the left; 16.40 per cent, had the arms of equal length and strength; and 32.70 per cent, had the left arm stronger than the right. Of women 4().90 per cent, had the right arm stronger than the left; 24.50 per cent, had the left stronger than the right. In order to arrive at the average length of limbs 50 skeletons were measured—25 of each sex. Of these 23 had the right arm and left leg longer, six the left arm and right leg, while in 17 cases all the members were more or less equal in length.— Sunday Magazine of the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Easy to Trace Degeneracy • # . Removal of Causes of Strife Has Made Rhinoceros 8tupid Animal He Is. The rhinoceros Is an ugly* beast, and Dr. W. S. Rainsford charges him in an article in the Outlook with being as stupid and aa wicked aff he looks. Some years ago, be says, a noted professor of bhrtogy Interested him greatly as he showed him the skulls of certain Miocene rhinoceroses. In those far-away days the beast must have been well able to take care of himself, even in the dangerous company in which he found himself. The convolutions of the brain of the Miocene rhinoceros are fine, much superior to those of his present-day descendant. The saw-tooth tiger and the cave bear were not dangerous enemies. Indeed, he somehow so managed | h i n g s that when they disappeared he survived. Then gradually life must have become too easy for him. He was big and burly and well-armed; other animals kept out of his way. The inevitable consequences ensued. Competition fierce and keen had kept him up. The struggle over, his brain no longer put to its best use, he began, like poor Dean Swift, "to die atop." The African grass is as good as of yore. His hide is as thick, his horn as sharp, everything keeps out of his way, and he lives on, a surly, ill-natured, dangerous and quite useless life, occupying ground that, more useful and beautiful things need. Surely a striking illustration in the animal world of the universal truth we are prone to forget; that easy times do not always make for real usefulness or greatness. Negative Fitness.

(FRED O. SIBLEY.) A clBtern for the collection and Btpjrage of roof water ahould be under ground and, for durability and the best of service, be made circular. Dig a bole ten to fifteen feet deep, and from six to eight feet in diameter, depending on the quantity of water one wants to atore. • The site selected should be dry, for while a cistern can be built BO AS toehold water it is almost Impossible to keep water out of It if there is a spring where the hole is dug. Take pains that the .hole is dug symmetrical, the sides smooth, and the bottom oval. For a foundation, a •tone about two feet square should be used. Beginning on this lay a two- Inch brick againBt the earth until the waJl is nearly to the top of the perpendicular sides where the thickness should be increased to four inches. About five feet from the top the wall ahould be drawn in by tipping the outer edge of the brick a little at first and until the upper outside of them is at an angle of about 45 degrees when the arch is finished. A good mason can easily do this. The top of the arch should be about two feet below the surface of the ground. The circular neck should extend to or a little •?**«* •' ^Underground Brick Cistern. abojre the level of the surrounding soil and be furnished with a cover. An opening should be left near the top of the arch for an inflow, provided with a short piece of iron pipe which, cemented into the wall, rises an inch or two above the surface of the ground. On the Bame level with the inflow where it enters the cistern there should be also an outflow, consisting of a joint of iron pipe carefully cemented into the wall and conducted away until there is a good outlet. By having this pipe extended to the bottom of the cistern water that contains the most impurities can be taken out, but in order to prevent the water from being siphoned out, as would occur if the outlet were lower than the bottom of the cistern, a hole must be drilled in the pipe at its highest point. Good cement mortar is required to lay the brfcks arid when completed its interior should have an application of two, coats of cement. The last one, a light coat, should be put on before the first is dry. It is best finished off with a whitewash brush. METHOD OF PULLING STuftP" Late Corn Fodder. The feeding of late corn fodder to dairy cows should be continued just as long as the corn is at all green. It is a splendid supplementary feed with the ahort autumn pasture grass* FARM NOTES. , Plow the garden this fall. Potato growing Is proving more p rentable. Save seed from the best pumpkins and* squashes. SbJ't out seed potatoes from most productive hills. Discard Sweet corn for seed If it Shows a trace of field corn. Beets that have taken second growth are spoiled for the table. Better apply manure to the garden now than to wait until spring. A dark cool house is an ideal place to store potatoes for the next 60 days. Leave the cabbages in the field un^lKcold l e a t h e r absolutely compels removal. • They will keep better there t£ari anywhere else. T\^h^n it comes to hauling manure you cannot afford to do it in any other way .than •frith a spreader. We used to think we could, fcur. have ssalized our mistake. New varieties of potatoes are propagated by planting the seeds found in the potato balls. Thoy will be very small at first but increase in siza from continued planting. Illustration Showing Device o> Whicr 200 or More Stubs May Be Removed in One Day. (CHARLES J. MILLS.) A very handy device for pulling peach stumps from old orchards, and can pull aOO or more a day by this means, is shown in the illustration. The limbs are cut off and the stumps, e, left as long as possible. A short Tackle for Pulling Stumps. rope or chain with a single pulley U attached to the top of the stump. The anchor rope, b, which runs through the pulley, Is fastened to the bottom of a stout stump, a. A pair of steady horses is attached to the rope and always pull toward the anchor stump. With a steady pull there is no jumping or jerking, and they will walk right off as if pulling a loaded wagon. We use about 60 feet of one-inch rope, which costs $2.40 and the pulley |1.75, making a total cost of 14.15. ALFALFA IN ALL CLIMATES Has Proven Its Adaptability to Grow Everywhere and on AM Kinds of Soils. While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would only grow in certain 8oiL and in certain climate* it has proven adaptability to nearly ali climates and almost all soils, says Coburn's Book on Alfalfa. It produces with a rainfall as scant as 14 inches, and in the gulf states flourishes with 65 inches. It gives crops at r.n elevation of 8,000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irr/ gated) desert of southern California, 60 feet below sea level, that measures considerably more than ten feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet, in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown it for over 100 years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on her sagebrush desert. The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-soiling it effects are-making tb8 rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop-worn land the priceless elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry. Costly Distribution. There are many things that fail to support the view that city consumers pay high prices for supplies because farmers are a benighted class who don't know how to produce things economically. We have already cited the case of milk, which costs the consumer several times what the pro* ducer gets for it, and there are many other instances, says the Baltimore American. Tomatoes that the producer sold for 75 cents a crate cost the consumer $1.75. Cabbage that the producer sold for 35 to 1j0 cents a crate coBt the consumer $1.35, and so on. We repeat that wasteful production is less to blame than costly distribution for the prices consumers must put up for what they eat. When will both sides realize this and cooperate for better things? Importance of Pasture. The dairy pasture on the dairy farm is one of the most economical sources of feed. The success of the pastures will, in a largo, measure, determine the success of the dairy enterprise. Pay as much attention to the permanent pasture as you would to a regular cultivated crop. Reseed It every year and keep weeds and other undesirable growth cut out. Apply manure and other fertilizers and use every means to have a good, thick stand of grass and to keep it growing all through the growing season. COMMON ORCHARD MISTAKES. To plant the same varieties of apples that grew on father's farm 50 years ago. For the nurseryman to substitute something else for what the buyer ordered. To dig a hole only half large enough when planting a tree, and then wonder late in the summer, why it didn't grow. To plant an orchard carefully and then turn in a reckless hired man to cultivate i t THANKSGIVING DAY Canada's Day of Thanks a Month Earlier Than in the United States. For some reaaon better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Canadian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the "frost on the pumpkin" declared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves so hard and to fast that the Canadians were ashamed to postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, tor giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance, and here, by the way, it is not uninteresting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the 'cutting of the melon." Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to ex-. press in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results in the line of production give ample reason for devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others in so far as the total increase In the country's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence was especially generous. The weather conditions were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to interfere. And now it was well it was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, but with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accomplished. There have been low general averages, but these are accounted for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will produce 130 million bushels of wheat from seven million acres, and it will produce a splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 50 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to $15 per acre—many farmers have realized sufficient from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obliterated the conception of the source from which the blessings have flown, and the good feeling is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there is great cause to contemplate with satisfaction the comforts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season of unusual enthusiasm." Misery. The neighbor's dog sits out on the front lawn and howls dismally. The man in the window looks out and yells: "Sh-h-h, you beast!" The dog continues to howl. The man again comes to the window and this time hurls a shoe at the dog. Still the animal howls. Another shoe follows. The next, clay the man's wife goes around in her stocking feet because she can't find her shoes. The man hasn't the price of another pair of shoes for her, and the next night the dog howls louder than ever. 3HHS5£5!335S5 STATIC OV OHIO m-v or TOUDO, I Li CAS COUNTY. (" **- FRANK .T.

A University of Chicago professor holds a grievance against the poets. Perhaps he was formerly an editor. Half of the Turkish navy has been sold as junk.

A Chicago man unkindly asks the courts to order the taxing authorities to compel certain men in that city to pay something like $80,000,000 in back taxes which he alleges they have dodged on their stock and bond holdings for the last ten years.

With hundreds of letters reaching the royal palace in Spain, no wonder that young King Alfonso is dejected over the Ferrer agitation. He started his reign with the prospect of being one of the most- popular of contemporary monarchs, but Is 'now in a fair way to lose through the blunders of his ministers. And the loss of popularity in these days, when revolution and republicanism are in the air, is a serious matter for a royal ruler. German textile experts are turning attention to a fibre obtained from the kapok or silk cotton tree of the tropics, with a view-to ascertaining whether a substitute for cotton may thus be obtained. No doubt experiments will be carried on with the thoroughness that is characteristic of German research, and if kopok can be made to take the place of cotton no effect will be spared in that direction. But a great many things are to be taken into consideration before the superiority of kopok can be established. Cotton ia not likely to be supplanted immediately. PERISHED IN THE GREAT FOREST T H R E E MEN LOST IN T H E WOODS W H I L E H U N T I N G AND NOT FOUND. STRAY SHOT BLINDS MAN The Distressing Accident* of the Hunting Season Just Closed Have Specially Sad Features. All hope' of finding the body of Harry Browaell, of St. Charles, Mich., h a s been abandoned. Lost while deer hunting and apparently having become demented, the man is believed to have wandered many miles and then to have perished from hunger and exposure. Much snow has fallen since Brownell disappeared and there is doubt now that his remain* ever will be found. ~ ,v Arthur Lepusha, a young m a n Wl Iron wood, Mich., also la believed to have met death in the wilderness,. He disappeared from a hunting camp in the Gogebic iron range country some days ago, and at latest advices searching parties had found no trace of him. It is feared he has either perished from exposure or has been killed by some careless hunter. A similar fate is thought to have befallen Robert Beilby, C8 years old, of Dowagiac, Mich., who was hunting deer eight miles southeast of Sidnaw, In Houghton county. Beilby has been missing since Nov. 16. Kelly Davidson and Freeman Johnson, two Grand Marals boys, armed with 22-caiiber rifles, had an extremely narrow escape frcm death when they became lost in a cedar swamp. The boys struck the trail of a deer I n T h e snow and they followed it until they became bewildered. They were found, half frozen, early in the morning by a searching party whicb fortunately had stumbled across their footprints. The weather had turned bitterly cold and it is believed that the boys could not have survived the night. His Eyes Shot Out. John Dalzell, both of whose eyes Were gouged out and his nose torn off by a stray bullet, while hunting deer near St. Ignace, was brought to his Traverse City home and is now in the hospital in a serious condition. Dalzell was sitting near a runway when the bullet came out of the woods. Groping his way through the trees and falling over obstructions, he made his way a mile before he drop ped exhausted. Dan I-Jines. who was one of the party, heard Dalzell's screams threequarters of a mile awav and found him. The men had been in that vicinity for three weeks and had seen but two hunters. Dalzell Is a prosperous farmer. Four Were Drowned. Of the Carlson family, which on Thursday of last week consisted of seven children, there are but three left, Ernest, 15; Carl, 18, and Emma, 11. The other four, Oscar, Hulda, Anna and Esther, and Anna Saunders, a neighbor girl, were drowned when the gasoline launch Olga, in which they were crossing Muskegon lake on the way home from a wedding, capsized. Oscar Carlson died in a desperate efftrt to save Esther, 14; the last being seep of them by the surviyora was when they went under the water clasped in each other's arms. Their bodies have not been recovered. Ernest and Carl saved themselves by clinging to the overturned boat until help came. Emma was the only memher of the family who did not make the trip to the wedding. Mrs. Carlson, mother of the sadly depleted family, died two months ago. Their father has been dead 12 years. Remarkable Case. Fifteen years following an accident In the northern lumber woods, Herbert. Purdy, of Attica, submitted to an operation at Hurley hospital for the removal of a splinter from one of his eyes. Purdy was injured ahhut the face and head at the time of the accident, hut seemed to Ruffer no ill effects from the wound on his eye and the sight, of it never has been.impaired until just lately, when the optic began to show signs of irritation. After an examination at the hands of specialists Purdy decided upon an operation, and a piece of wood an inch long was taken from the eyeball. Surgeons say the operation will not, cost the sight of the optic. > • • • • » • * • » . . » — ' . u - BRIEF MICHIGAN'HSlWS. «». • » • MICHIGAN BREVITIES. Mrs. Thomas A.

AWAITS COURTS m * R * f t l O f « t a M M f t f Q * W J U NOT T A K t UP T H I TRUST QUESTION. WHERE'S DR. COOK GONE? The Status of the-Standard Oil Case the Ground for Obviating a Trust Discussion Just Now. After much deliberation, President Taft haa decided t o omit from hie annual message to congress any recommendation that the anti-trust law be amenuad. Thia decision carries with It an omission of a discussion of the trust question generally, according to the way the president views it. Ilia opinions on the subject are well known, however, through the medium of his public addresses during his 13,- 000-mile tour. In his determination t o avoid the trust question In, his message the president was sustained by all the members of his cabinet. A point of delicacy, born of his judicial experience, is responsible for the postpone ment of the trust discussion for it is to be a postponement merely. Mr. Taft's decision was based on the proposition t h a t with the recent opinion of the United States circuit court of officials declaring the Standard Oil Co. a combination in restraint of trade, about to be reviewed by the supreme court of the United States, it would be contrary to a strict regard for propriety to agitate the Bubject cf violations of the anti trust law in a presidential message tc congress. .?

The, board of education of New York city is proposing to establish three more, and similar Institutions are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark, N . J . In cities like Providence, Boston and New York, where outdoor schools have been conducted for two years, the results obtained from the treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show the great advantage of this class of institutions.

Coffee Is such a secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sickness or disease, but there is a very sure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an interesting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using It for some time and was an invalid. The physician in charge shrewdly suspected t h a t coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree," and ordered It discontinued with instructions to use Postutn regularly In its place. The wife says: "We found t h a t was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise h i s Judgment was. "The use of Postum-instead of eo#« fee was begun about a year ago, f * 4 it has made m y husband a strong, well man. He h a s gained thirty-five pounds (n that time and his stomach and heart troubles have all disappeared. "The first time f prepared it I did not boil It long enough and he said there was something wrong with It. Sure enough it did taste very flat, but the next morning I followed directions carefully, boiling It for fifteen minutes, and he remarked 'this is better than any of the old coffee.* "We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee."

Lying awake, the boy could not bear (e think that the dear horse and cow stood hungry in the barn* on their last night of life; how he stole into the kitchen and found . the coarse hread and the milk that were saved for his own breakfast, and carried ;.them out to the stable; how, as he came to the door, he' heard strange hoarse voices speaking low, and listened and found that It was IfWedel a n * Minna *ta4klng together; how jthea he remembered that onoe a year, at midnight on Christmas Eve, dumb beasts may find speech in memory of the night when the Christ-child lay among beasts, in the manger; how little Haas listened to theithia old horse and the hungry old cow and heard them grieving for the ppverty of their master and mis* tresB and heard them speak J>t the secret which, if the beasts might have speech .to tell it, wouki make every4 thing right; how Hans went in boldly then and gave the animals his breaklast, and asked them to tell him the secret; how they told him, in unused* rusty Voices, that beneath the empty stall of the stable was A treasure Of gold, buried a thousand years before by the Romans, which would make his mother and father richer than they could dream; and how just then the bells of the distant village rang for Christmas morning, and the poor beasts were dumb again, and Hans went back to his bed and waited for daylight to tell his father and mother, who dug for the treasure and found it and were happy with the horse and cow, and'rich ever after. *The story ended and the children were quiet, as if listening, thrilled, to those stammering hoarse tones of the good brutes In the chilly stable. "Now, chickens, you must go to your roosts," the mother broke their dream, and her words ended in a sigh. "Father! It's too bad to have him laft out of Christmas Eve, isn't it?" "Yes, It is," agreed Benny sturdily. "Nobody cnn say 'Peaceful Was th*) Night' 'cept father. It's too bad for father he had to go to the thing-ma-jig's funeral;" and, being Christmas Eve, Benny went unreproved for the description of his great-uncle. "Pather'll be home before morning, won't he?" asked the girl, and went on. "Oh, I remember. You said some time in the night, but we can't tell when, 'cause the trains get late. Well, I hope he'll be here In the morning when we wake up. it wouldn't be Christmas without father; would it, mother?" "I can't bear to have him out so late," the little woman said, and her tones were troubled. She went on as if thinking aloud—a way she had with her big babies. "Father isn't well—he ought to go south—I wish, he could go," and Benny answered in strong baby tones: "Oh, he can't go, mother. We have not got money enough—you said we hadn't," "No, dear, we haven't," she sighed; and the girl shook her mane of hair back thoughtfully. "I wish I could 3nd a lot of money like Hans, i'or father," she said. The fascination of the firelight as the children lay in their beds, their mother gone, held the drowsy eyes open. Th* girl, the more aggressive, the more imaginative of the two, went back, with a thought working its way In her mind, to the story which had a hold on both, the story of how two dumb brutes may talk onco a year^n Christmas Eve. "Do you believe it's true, Benny?" she consulted her brother. "Mother didn't say It wasn't, you know." "Then it's true, and I believe It's true," said Benny stoutly. "I'm glad they can. I know Nigger would enjoy a talking. He looks like he wanted to ^ t a l k when he squeals, and he squeals ""words sometimes. I heard him say *corn bread' one day." Alice lifted . her brown head from the pillow and leaned on one elbow and stared into the fire. "Nigger's out in the barn," she reflected. "Father took Mr. Jarvis' horse because-'Nigger's foot was lame. Benny—" she began excitedly, and stopped. Benny gave an enormous yawn and turned his heavy yellow head. • Whu-ut?" he inquired. "Don't go to sleep, Benny—listen!" the girl begged. "I've got an i d e a - something lovely, really. Why can't we go to the stable to-night—it's Christmas Eve—and listen to Nigger talking, like Hans listened to Friedel and. Minna? And maybe he'll know about, some treasure and we could get lots of money, *nd give i f to father to go south with. Mother would be gla4." The boy's sleepy eyes opened and gazed at her. "Wouldn't It be naughty?" As happened once before In a garden, •'the woman tempted him." Benny was swept out on the tide of his sister's adventurous spirit, and while the fire steamed and purred an undertone they made their plans. Very nearly were the plans shipwrecked by Nature, however, for, as they waited till the night should be older, the clock ticked, the fire sang a lullaby, and the children fell asleep. But at half-past eleven a log dropped noisily, the light of it brazed up and the adventurer-ln-chlef, the deed to be done in her veins, awakened. It needed all her energy to persuade the boy, numb with sleep, that sleep was not the one possibility In a midnight world. But there was a persistent spirit In her, and In ten minutes two muffled little figures crept through the shadowy house and out over the white lawn, misty with atillfalllng snow, and up the slope to the door of the stable. There were half-visible footsteps in the white carpet on the ground, but the big flakes had blilfred them, the children did not notice. An hour before a man had hurried along the road from town, a powerful man, walking fast. As he walked he spoke to himself in a low tone. "The note about Pat O'Hara's broken leg ought to take him three miles out of his way—It ought to delay him bent arm tightened. The clinging ghost-boy clutched closer. I * "You couldn't hurt him!' Ton could not do It In this place, where the good yettrs of your life were passed. You know every foot of this ground:—every foot of it has a happy association You've played hide-and-seek In that: barn of Harding's, and gone to sleep In the hay-loft. Can you go there and take money from htm?" The man's hand new out "It's not his money—I wouldn't rob him. It's money that ought to be mine—it belongs to Sidney Maxwell, my cousin, and it's Maxwell money—family money. They make millions a year—I'm one of them and I've nothing—worse than nothing. I ought to be as rich as he—it's a drop in the bucket to what I ought to have." "Whose fault is it that you haven't it?" the Insistent whisper came. "You threw away your chance." "I know it—I was a fool—I couldn't be controlled. But I was young, five years ago. If my father had lived, my uncle wouldn't have turned me out. It was Sidney who was down on me—reliable, satisfactory Sidney, who never had a temptation—never made a mistake—never threw away his birthright for a mess of pottage. He's gone from success to success without an effort." The man groaned. "I hate him!" he muttered. "I'm his flesh and blood, and he never throws a thought to me. We had our Christmas trees together, and played* with our rocking-horses on the rug before the fire. He was kind as a big brother to me then. But now, the ends of the earth are no farther apart than he and I—Carl Maxwell, my chances all gone, a failure, a pauper." He shuddered. "This night a thief. Ah!" The syllable snapped sharply and he threw out his powerful arms. "No, my chances are not all gone—there's one left." He struck, his breast with his hand where the letter lay Inside. "My one chance of beginning new is this night. I'll get that money which ought to be mine, and to-morrow I'll be off for China, and take up Bill Bacon's offer, and be an honest man, by Heaven, a successful one this time! I've got it in me, and I've learned my lesson. My God! I've learned my lesion. I'll work hard and earn my life and I'll send back this three thousand to Sidney Maxwell with my first savings. I will. Jove—it's a straight "He's Talkin'—Nigger's Talkin'!1 an hour. Lucky I remembered where the horse and trap would be kept." He passed a stream, tinkling silverly in the stillness under its roof of ice and snow. He halted and Rtared down. "I took my first trout in that hole." he murmured, and swung on. But the ghost of a boy had caught his arm and clung to him and went with him down the road. He could not shake the ghost-boy loose. "Dr. Harding took you home to lunch that day," the boy whispered, "and the trout was cooked, and they made an event of i t " "Well, what of that?" the man answered the memory aloud. "I'm not going to hurt Dr. Harding, am 1?" "He won't give up what he has set himself to guard." The big fellow spoke again grimly: "He'll have to." The muscles of his road—it's a chance in a million for a man at the last gasp. I'd be a cowardly fool not to take it—and after all I'm just borrowing—not stealing. I'll send it back sure as fate." The sophistry which has soothed many consciences was good enough for this desperate one. Something which felt like self-respect, the unused sensation of a hope, sent him springing over the two miles from the railroad town to Fattfleld, and through dim, well-remembered lanes to Fairfield parsonage. He found his way readily down the shadowy drive to the stable, and the door, left unlocked for the master, opened at a touch. The horse stamped In his stall in the dark, and Maxwell went to him and spoke quietly, and he was still. There was an empty stall next, where would be put' the other horse arriving with Dr. Harding, and here the man • stowql Ihlfiasif,^ JrVftcn the clergyman led the animal- to the opening, then, while ^is hand* were busy, would b$ the time. • He'sat drajwn tegetheV, Jn the thick straw^ watting. Nigger, In the stall close by, stamped uneasily and put his black nose through the opening/above and sniffed and blew. He could see the horse's eyes gleaming in the darkness, and feel his warm breath. So settled was his mind on the deed to come that he dropped into a sleep, comfortably wrapped in the straw. Yet his nerves were alert, and he sat up quickly, on. guard at a light, aound from the outside. What was It? Even allowing for the snow-covered road it was not the sound of wheels—and, while he wondered, the Bide door of the building,' which faced him as he sat hidden, opened. A late moon had risen, making the landscape outside as clear as day, and against the white ground he saw, astonished, the figures of two children sharply silhouetted. The big girl held the boy by the hand as they peered In. The man, unprepared for this complication, watched them, troubled, uncertain, and immediately the boy spoke in a full, sweet voice. "He's not talkin', Alice," the boy said. "Let's go back—I'd rather go to bed." But the girl stepped forward, warily poised, -yet determined, and drew her brother. "Maybe he doesn't know It's us," she said. "I don't want to go back till I see." She dropped the boy's hand and was at the door of the boxstall. "Nigger," she whispered, "Nigger," and the horse whinnied and turned his head toward her. The boy had followed, stumbling across the floor. "Maybe he doesn't know it's Christmas," he suggested. "Let's sing a carol so he'll remember." The man in the stall listened. In a low tone, because it was a mysterious business they were on, the two sang: Silent niprht, hallowing1 dawn, F a r and wide breaks the morn, Breaks the day when the Saviour of men Bringing pardon and healing again, Holy, harmless and undefined—Cometh a little child. "Pardon and healing!" They sang it and they were silent, waiting. Nigger sniffed softly, then whinnied. Penny's slow speech began coaxingly: I had a little pony His name was Dapple Gray; I lent him to a lady— He halted, listening. "I thought maybe he'd like that because it's about a horse, I thought it would Interest him," Benny explained, and proceeded as if by force of Inertia: Goosey, goosey gander, Whither do you wander Up-stairs— Alice interrupted. 'That hasn't got a single thing to do with Christmas, Benny." "But it's on the next page," Benny argued stolidly. Alice was firm. "It isn't the right kind of poetry—it ought to be sort of churchy and religious, because Nigger's a clergyman's horse and it's Christmas Eve." "Maybe he's afraid," she said, in a disappointed tone, yet still hopeful. "Benny, say the verse about 'Fear not' to him—that might make him not be afraid." The unseen audience listened as Benny, persuadingly, as man to man, recited a hymn to Nigger. " 'Fear not.'—" urged Benny— "Fear not," .said He. for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind, "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind." "Glad tidings of great joy!" The young man in the straw sat quiet and listened. Whatever encouragement for beasts might be in a Christmas hymn, Benny meant, to extend it to Nigger. Unhurried, with the sleepy note of a bird going to roost, his piping voice plodded on, telling a tale which he did not doubt. With the full angel soag he ended: All glory he to God on high. And on the earth be peace. Good-will henceforth from H e a v e n to men Begin and never cease. "Peace! Good-will!" There \vas a stir in the empty stall, but the children did not hear it. From a mile away down the road came faintly a sound of hoof-beats, and Nigger blew out an agitated breath and whinnied again gently. It was very quiet. Alice and Benny, standing patient, thrilled suddenly as a strange, hoarse voice issued from the darkness. "Merry Christmas, children!" the voice said. The girl clutched the boy's shoul der. "He's talkin'—Nigger's talkin',' Renny announced, interested but iin perturbed. (TO BE CONTINUED.) LOST REGISTERED" IJETTCB FOUND IN QUEER PUCE Missed From a Mangled Malt Bag, They are Recovered From Car Trucks. It does not always follow that the disappearance of registered mail packages indicate a robbery of the mail. This was demonstrated on The Overland Limited train No. ,2 Friday, November 5th, when a pqfV age of five registered letters from Schuyler disappeared between that point and Omaha. . " The recovery of the lost package was as Btrange as its disappearance. The Schuyler pouch, is picked < up from a crane by means of a poach catcher as the train passes. This pouch catcher is attached to the mail car and hooks onto the pouch suspended from the crane as the train passes. In this particular instance the pouch catcher did not make a good catch and the pouch fell under the wheels of the train and was cut in two. The mail was scattered along the track for a considerable distance, but the five registered letters, which were In a packet, could not be found when the other mail was picked up. The Impression at once prevailed that the registere J package had been found and kept by some one and it was reported as lost Postofflce Inspector L. A. Thompson was started out to Investigate. His first visit was to Council Bluffs to make inquiries of the postal clerks on the car, and scarcely had he reached there when he received word that the registered package had found by the car cleaner rartipg ly on the trucks under tttt dtaiag car, where It had been btewn 49 thrown when the mail pouch was flung under the wheels at Schuyler. That the package was not injured In the slightest, nor jarred from its position on the trucks, is simply another tribute to the Union Pacific's unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

Wm, ty *ir>rlnw Pre* ekttea.] "Harry, d m r , " said tbe young wife en her <l«ftt&be4, "wheo I am gone forget me. Seek aome on* to All the place I leave v a c a n t Don't delay. Never mind If the world aay*. T h i s man haa no sooner burled one wife than he begins looking for another. 1 know what la beat for you. The longer you put It off the less yon will desire It, and 1 don't wish you to become again used to bachelor habits." *TPhe place you will leave vacant will Ksmaln v a c s n t " **I have given yon my wish; I can't argue with you, and I c a n t remain with yon to Influence you, though, If possible, 1 will do so from the other existence. One word more. If yon delay and become a middle aged or an old man before marrying again choose a young woman who will bear you children to love yon and for you to love. When yon think of me picture me watching over you trying to lead you in the path that 1 know will alone bring you happiness." When all was over and be began the life without her these words came back to • him, and he was wonder stricken that they should have been spoken by a woman, and that woman his own wife. "But the realization of her wish ia impossible," he reasoned, "because 1 shall never find the woman who can fill the place she has left vacant, and If I could find one who could fill It I would not wish it filled." j On this account and from preference ; he hugged her memory and ignored j ber wishes. Shortly before her death and while she was in the flush of health her portrait had been painted. This portrait he took from the wall where it hung and placed it over his desk in his study. He was a literary man, and his work was Influenced by the woman whose mental and moral Btrengtb and virtues were memorized In the portrait. A year passed, and he still loved—a memory. Was It love or the memory of a love? He never asked himself the question. He did not doubt that It was love. It might not occupy his mind, he admitted, as much as at first, but this is true of one we love who has been gone a long while. Those who are absenLdo not occupy our thoughts as tf they were present, but on their return we find them as dear to us a« ever. At times he would remember her earnest look when she had made her last strange request and would experience a momentary troubled regret that he could not accede to it Then he would recall the reason and would be satisfied. One day five years after ber death he stood looking at her picture. It. seemed to him that there was a more mature look about it than he had before noticed. The lips did not appear so red, the eyes not quite so bright. Then a sudden pleasing thought struck him. He was growing older, and some unexplained mental or, rather, soul construction within blm was enabling him to see her growing older with him. Whence It sprung or what power bad planted it he cared not, It was there. They would grow old together. Another period passed, and he noticed a greater change. The cheek seemed to have lost some of Its roundness. The nostril was thinner. There were faint whitish pencil streaks on the hair that might be the effect of light on the canvas or n beginning of white hair. There were lines about the eyes and on the neck. Two feelings within him contended for mast e r y - n pleasure that he was not leaving her In youth behind him and a distress that her beauty was fading. These mingled feelings did not leave him. He thought the distress that she should change was unnatural. Doea a huRband regret to seethe wife he loves grow plain? Does she. indeed, grow plain to himV The latter question set him off on .-mother course of thought. Supposing a man loses a wife of twenty. At forty or fifty she comes back to him. 1» love the same as if she had grown old beside him? He could not make up bis mind that it would be. From this time he noticed a change In his feelings toward the picture. It was not the same to him. in vain he tried to get used to this singular transformation m It. which he attributed td" some mystical Rout effect. He felt that it and he were diverging. Instead of growing old together they were growing old on different dues. Then It began to be repulsive to him. He wiis struggling with a desire to remove it when one morning a girl of twenty Hthmbled Into his study. Her cheeks were ruddy enough without the blush that spread itself from her forehead to her dimpled chin. A startled look was in her eye, followed quickly by an embarrassed smile that parted her lips, showing her white teeth. Tln-u, Isji:-n-iiu withdrawing, •he shut the door .. From this vision of youthful loveliness he turned to rhe picture, it was • portrait of one the tmtue age us Ida girl who had entereo and withdrawn. Once It I>;MI SO appeared LU him, £iew It w;i* i Ue likentsa of u middle aged woman He did not t*top to wonder, us tv ti-il Hiiiu: uunf oeiore, why thus was so. lie weur urn ami followed thu receding girl. After be* had married her he put thu picture of his tlrst vvlle away. To others it Is the portrait ot a youug woman. To him he knows not what it is. for he never looks at It. lie believes the soul effect he had experienced wu.s sent by his wife to bqnd blm to her request. Notice!

V X f c v y o u *e« the blue sparks?" ttked Isergll, the mummy-like old gipsy from the steppe of Bessarabia— the. wide steppe which had been her ctadle, her home, and was ready soon to grant, thajt surest of all shelters, her grave. '% Isergil, cannot see them any more—there is much that I can no longer see. I am ages old, but the dancing lights are always there." v g e s / I see-the little blue flames; whjyfcj^re "they?" I had often heard w^tfcon of- those fairy light, not fata "morgana, not Insect, b\it I wished to near the old sibyl's version. "Those sparks come from the hot heart of Danko," she began, in tones tfcftt vibrated with intense belief *nd feeling—the born narrator of the legends of her tribe. "There was once in the world a heart that flamed like fire, and the blue gleams are the sparks from that flame. Listen! I will tell you the old, old story, and how it was in that long dead past, of which there is nothing good left; no moro real men; no real deeds; no real stories as in those days. "A fig for you young people of modern times! what do you know? what do you understand? Look back into the past; there, everything is explained; but you, (polish children of to-day, look not bact, as do I, old IsergU, and I see, though my eyes are dim; i see that you young ones know nt>t how to live. You wait always for opportunity which cornea not of its own self. Then, when you find that you have wasted your time, you whimpier over your fate. ""What is fate? Everybody makes his own. There are many kinds of people to-day, except great and mighty ones—where are they? And beauty in man and woman—still less is there of that'." After a Ion,; pause, the ancient one resumed: "Ages ago there was a band of people, where it was I cannot tell you. I only know that the camp of these people was surrounded on three Hides by a tall, impenetrable* forest, and on the fourth side lay the steppe. "They were a strong, joyous, daring folk, probably gypsies, content with little, and happy in the good of each day as it came. "After a time strange tribes crept In among them bringing discord and unrest, and driving these simple folk, few in comparison, deeper into the woods. Here it was dismal with swamp and darkness, because the forest waa old as time, and so dense that one saw no sky between the branches, and hardly a ray of light pierced through to the sodden ground. The people sickened and died like strickeu sheep. Distracted with the weeping of their women and children, the men looked helplessly in each other's hol^ low eyes, asking in vain for rescue. Two ways there were out. of the snare ~-one backward to the cruel grip of the enemy; the other, forward, to a far deeper, denser forest, Giant trees clasping each other in a tangled em brace, with roots like twisted iron, deep rn the black slime. Here at high noon a dim twilight only flickered down through the branches, and at night when the wind blew it wailed like a dirge for these people at bay from their enemy in the dreary forest fastness. • Night. .£fter night the outcasts sat around their canip fire and bethought thomselves of a way to freedom, but in vain. Nothing, neither work nor follies, so weaken men as anxious, brooding thoughts, whtch suck the blood 'from the heart. "Fear srese In the breast of these men, and the women drove them to despair with wailing oyer their dead and the bitter fate of those still living. At first in faint whispers in the cump, then louder and bolder, tht> - tribe declared that bondage was better than death—they would give up /their freedom and return as slaves to their enemy. "Then rose up Danko, the rescuer of them all. He, Danko, was one of the band, a beautiful youth and brave— the beautiful are always brave—and thus he spoke to his companions: •' 'Thinking moveH no stone out of the way. Action only counts. Why are we waiting our strength with fret verves, one and ail!' 'They looked at the youth and saw I in bis eyee that which made1 him their leader and superior. 'Lead W ' clamored they all, and he led them." Old Isergll paused and looked out over * the steppe where the sparks from the hot heart of Danko gleamed lik,e bl_ujp, flowers. "Dankp led thapi; willingly and trustfully they followed. "That was a weary way, dark as night, with the black mud of the marsh yawning for prey, and the trees in close ranks like a mighty wall. Their branches were interwoven like a knot of snakes, everywhere their twisted roots colled and clung; every step cost blood and sweat. Onward they toiled, each morrow's hardship worse than yesterday's; each day their strength less. "At last it grew so dark In the forest that it was as if all the nights, that had ever been since time began, had melted into one blackness. The thunder rolled, the wanderers staggered helplessly among the rocking treeB, blinded by the cold, blue lightning. 'They halted, and in the roar of the forest, in the thick of the darkness, exhausted and angry, they turned upon Danko: 'A useless creature are you, harmful and hateful to us all,' they began. 'You have led us forth j lament or tear* Danko ever at the head of the troop, hie heart flaming, flaming, and ever flaming. "Suddenly the forest opened and fell back, and Danko ^witJ* his Qock found thmauelvea bathed in .a #ea of sunshine, and pure, uweat-eevated rain-washed air from ,the BtKApe fanned taek faces. Th*i!eeto#t>^aa behind them, grumbling qver-Jpe, forest; here the sun beamed* the KM* sparkled with rain diamonds, and ft> river glowed like gold:K% TMe'WWttSg sun turned the river red, likjfr* the blood that dripped from Danko'a torn breast. "The proud, brave Danko cast hlB dying gate over the.broad steppe, and laughed with joy at the sight ot the pleaaant land—then he sank down and died, "The wondering trees began a dirgelike murmur, and the .grass, wet with Dankoo's blood, whispered in sympathy, but the happy, hopeful people took no more notice of Danko—saw not that he lay dead, nor that beside his body, on the sod, hia brave heart still flamed. "One cautious soul only saw the glow, and, fearful of danger, trampled the proud heart with his foot. Then was the flame quenched and scattered in a thousand sparks. These are the blue lights which dance on the steppe before a thunderstorm." As the old woman ended her fantastic story, a profound stillness fell over the steppe, as if it, too, were awed by the power of the brave Danko, the bold spirit which burned itself out for humanity without asking reward. Isergil sank into uneasy slumber, and watching her, I mused over the many legends stored in her memory—What power of human •fancy to conceive these legends; what heroism and bravery adorned that golden past! And our present—poor in strong men and great events—rich in cold distrust that turns everything into wmammmmm^mmt^m^^tmmm WEDDING GUESTS DROWN x .¾ s -. Q Smell Fire in Boat Create* Panic and .

'I have the courage to lead, theiefore I do it—and you—what have you done to help yourselves? You follow only,..and youtvCDurage Is too weak for tad.strain of hardship. You only follow—follow like a drove of sheep.' These >vorda angered the people still more. 'You sheftl' die!' they cried, and to their clamor the wind howled an echo, and the lightning tore renta.ia the darlwaaa. "Danko gazed upon them, his followers, for whose sake he had borne such toil and suffering, and saw that they were like wild beasts. They crowded about him, but in no eye was the light of kindneas—to no one could he look for help. Then anger, against the people flamed .in bis heart only to quench itself Boon in pity. He loved these, his companions, and knew that without him they would perish. Then his heart glowed anew with desire to save them and lead them upon an easy path, and forth from his eyes gleamed the light of this desire." "The forest sang unceasingly its solemn song, the thunder roared and the rain gushed in streams. 'What can I do for my people!' cried Danko in a voice louder than the thunder. Suddenly he rent open his breast, tore out his throbbing heart and held it high above his head. It flamed as bright, as the sun, and even brighter; the whole forest fell silent, awed by his torch of love for humanity; the darkness fluttered away from this light and sank trembling in the black mold of the swamp. The amazed stood as if turned to stone. "Follow!1' cried Danko, striding for ward, his glowing heart, held high in his uplifted hands, lighting the way to the people who flung themselves madly in his wake. The roar of the forest, began again, but the sound of it was drowned by the rushing footsteps of the people. Everyone ran, fearless and fast, enchanted by the sight of the burning heart. Many fell by the way and died even now, but without Unwritable English. "Did you know that there is at least one sentence in English that can be spoken, but that it is impossible to write?" asked a Cambridge university don. "Yes, it's correct English, I suppose, and then again it isn't. Here is the sentence, although I vow I don't know how you are going to write it: There are three twos in the English language.' You see, if you spell two, t w o , the sentence is incorrect, as it is if you spell it either 'too' or 'to.' Catch the point? Really, it is incorrect to say it, although it certainly should be possible to express the thought. This thing has set me going, and It simply goes to show what a tangle the English language is. There certainly is a word 'two,' and a word 'too,' and another 'to,' aDd Ihey are all three nronounced alike— two, too, or to—whtch makes it correct to say: 'There are three...twos,' or 'three toos' or 'three tos' in the English language. But what's the use?"—Tit-Hits. Crusade to Exterminate Rabies* The destruction of all animals afflicted with rabies and the propermuzzling of all dogs In areas Infected with' the disease are strongly* advocated by John W. Kerr, assistant surgeon- general, and Arthur M. Stimson, passed. assistant surgeon^ of the pub lie health and marine hospital service, In a report made public today. There were 111 deaths of human beings from hydrophobia in 30 states during 1908. Rabies was reported it the lower-animals from at least 63f~ localities in 39 states and territories, including the District of Columbia Evidence was secured of nearly 1,500 persons who were obliged to take the Pasteur treatment. The most striking feature brought out is the very general distribution of the disease throughout the eastern portion of the country and its almost complete absence from the extreme western part, especially the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions. The animals reported as having been affected with' the rabies were ,dogs, cats, wolves, hordes, cattle, Bheep, hogs, squirrelB and last, but not least, "skunks." It was among "skunks" that the disease was reported in Ariiona and the single death among human beings in that state followed the bite of one of those animals. . , , . , , -U. Although Loft In E.

Miss Maitland, the Scottish International golf player, and Mr. S. Christie, of Westward Ho! have accomplished the remarkable feat of holing out in one on the St. Andrews old and new courses respectively. Both paid the usual penalty to the caddies. Just In the Nick of Time Newsboy Came to the Rescue Crowd of Men of Erudition and Intelligence. of The mean man was a well-dressed and intelligent, looking man. He had come out of the postofflce and he stood on the steps and gazed fixedly acrosR the street.until he had stopped 30 pedestrians, who also gazed and inquired of each other what they were gazing at. Then the mean man took off his bat, made a bow to those around him and began: "fientlenien, during the late discussion of the tariff all of you read about ad valorem in connection with it. I now ask you what the meaning of the term is?" No one answered. Fifty more people came up and stopped, and the mean man raised his voice and leaked: "Ad valorem, gentlemen—who can j tall me what sd valorem is?" The silence was painful. Then 25 more men halted and whisperingly asked who was dead, and the mean m m vailed out: "Gentlemen, there are old men and young men here. There are men of erudition and intelligence. I am asking what, ad valorem means?" Those men of erudition and intelligence looked at each other in a sheepish way and took no chancsi. The crowd increased to 200, and again the mean man demanded to know what, ad valorem meant. It wa« then, and while at least half the crowd were thinking of tearing him limb from limb that a newsboy held up his hand and then piped: "I know sir. Teddy shot one in Africa and hasjient him over to the John Smith institute. He looks sunthin' like a hog!"—Joe Kerr, in Boston Olobe.

The potato was not known in Europe until after the expedition of Sir Walter Raleigh, and it is supposed that it was he who carried it to Europe in 1585. Other authorities claim that Sir FrancW *Drake carried this Important product to England in 1586. By 1771 only two varieties, one red and one white, were mentioned in an important work on Eatrnsh gardening. In 1772, when the g r u £ crops failed in Germany, the potato became a favorite crop.

A very hs.ndy stitgh -horse for holding leathef "rfnd blankets While sewing them can be made from two barrel staves. Cut them in two In the mid* die and fasten them securely to a four-inch block at the bottom./ One can sit on a chair and hold this horse- between his knees, but a better plan j s to fasten it to a board 18 inches or'two feet long and eight to ten inches wide. By sitting on the board you will hold the horse very firmly. •" • " " ' A Clever and- Alfalfa for Horses. There is a general feeling among farmers and horsemen that clover and alfalfa hay is not well adapted to horses. The reason for/ this belief is largely due to the fact that legume hay is often very dusty and sometimes moldy. The fact remains, however, that all legume hay Is not thus unfitted for horse7 feeding. Where properly put up it Is as valuable for young growing horses and brood mares as it is for other stock. The Legumes ss 8tock Feed. The legumes, such as all the clovers and alfalfa, are the most valuable forage plants known to man. They are valuable in that they are heavy yieldera of most palatable feed but chiefly so in their nutritive content Containing, aa they do, a higher per cent of nitrogen, the most rare and costly element in stock feed, than any other forage plants, gives them their greater value. Nitrogen is the muscle or flesh-forming element of feed, carbon is the fat-forming. The latter is comparatively common and cheap and predominates greatly in all grains and true grasses. TOT instance corn contains 66.7 pounds of carbohydrates to 7.8 protein or nitrogenous substance, >oata a j to 47.3, timothy hay 1.8 to 43.4. If you select seed corn from the stalk before husking time it Is posai- Lie you , choose smoother ears than you would at husking time. Earllnes* and smoothness go together.

Mrs. Rachel Ivte, Henrietta, Texas, sayfr: "I would be ungrateful if I did not tell what Doan's Kidney Pills h a v e done for me. Fifteen years kidney trouble clung to me, my existence was one of misery and for two whole years I was unable to go out of the house, My back ached all the time and I was utterly weak, unable at times to walk Without assistance.

The least of this article Is worn by savages or nativeB, which is a piece of cloth or a few leaves or feathers round the waist in cold countries, same as Eskimos, the people wear more clothes than we do, count of the icy cold out there. They can skate all the year round, except about one thaw there is in summer, if they walked about like natives they would catch cold directly and die of bronkltls. We put clothes on which are nearly like our bodies, some have cap&r coats and trousers, but women and girls wear hats and frocks to tell who they are."
