PXNCKNBT. - MICHIGAN LOSSES FROM THE BOLL WEEVIL. 1 The bulletin of the department of' agriculture on the Mexican-hull weevil sheds very little new light on the subject. No remedy has been fduntt for that moat voracious aa# deetruettsre insect; and the <Iapart*pn,t.iftg*ely reiterates its recommendation with regard to the burning of :the ; cotton etalks and the work during the winter looking to keep down the peajl—polnia upon which the southern1 tinners have been well instructed of late, aid which they are thoroughly carrying out' The only gratifying part of the bulletin is the estimate that the amount of damage caused by the weevil is 125,000,000. This Is the figure given two and three years ago, when the weevil was restricted to Texas. The damage had grown from year to year up to that time, and it was expected that It would continue to grow as the weevil spread eastward, until it rose to a heavy proportion of the crop. In spite of this spread of the pest, the total loss remains the same, amounting to not more than four per cent, of the crop. Of course, some localities—and Louisiana most of all—has suffered more, but the cotton crop as a whole is not materially reduced by the weevil, and the amount it returns to the southern farmers will be very little cut down. Secretary Wilson, who has been touring New York state investigating the condition and causes of abandoned farms, says that the trouble la with the farming and not with the farms. The soil is not exhausted. Profitable crops are possible. Scientific knowledge and work are the essentials. Scientific agriculture in the so-called manufacturing states where proximity to urban centers with their markets adds to the value of any crop deserves to be recognised as one of the most important phases of the conservation of resources and of relief from the present burdensome cost of living. The challenger of the beef trust, the dairy product trust, the poultry and egg trust is not the legislator, but the small farmer who is an independent and cannot be bought up. If anything be needed to prove that the United States is not lacking in esthetic culture, as has been charged so frequently, the recent agitation In Germany, promulgated by Dr. Wilhelm Bode, general director of the Royal Art museums at Berlin, and one of the foremost art connoisseurs of the world, should set at rest all doubtB. Dr. Bode sees a dire menace to the art treasures of Europe in the wide-open purses of American millionaires and, in anticipation of a widespread exodus of masterpieces when our new tariff schedule, admitting works of art more than 20 years old free of duty, shall have become a law, Is seeking to prevent the threatened spoliation. A Milwaukee couple want to be divorced— the husband, because his wife insisted on his accompanying her on shopping tours; the wife, because her husband wore neckties that did not match her gowns, says the Baltimore American. With the most sacred of human relations made such a travesty as these absurdly trivial complaints suggest, it is no wonder that the government is collecting divorce statistics which are alarming the thinking men and women of the country for the stability of society. The dirigible-balloon feature planned in connection with tb» Hudson- Fulton show, although not officially part of that celebration, proved a lamentable failure. The trouble was that the balloons would not go; at least not far enough to make a really impressive exhibition. The aeroplanes made some successful though leas ambitious flights. All of which goes to show that a good deal is still to be done before airships can be relied upon for regular transportation service. Spelling matches used to be a popular form of entertainment in rural schools, and It was helpful, too, for It made for proficiency in spelling. Boys and girls then learned to spell with their minds Instead of spelling always with their eyes from the printed page. There are now many men and women who can write with ease some of the most difficult words in the English language, but without pen or pencil they could not spell some of the almpleat word* of the language. GMMTON SAYS LAW IS VALID CO-AUTHOR OP WARNER-CRAM TON LAW EXPLAIN* HOW NEW LAW 18 CONSTITUTIONAL. LICENSE CAN BE REVOKED Cramton Pokes Holea In Attempt of 8aioonm«n to Defy Law—Detroit Liquor Dealers to Tost Validity of New Law. Rep. Louia C. Cramton, of Lapeer, leader of the "dry" forces In the house during the last aeaaion of the legislature, Issued a statement ID which he poked a number of holes In the proposition advanced by certain Detroit saloonkeepers who seem determined to find Borne way of breaking the Warner-Cramton liquor law. Whoever is advising the Detroit liquor dealers has evidently lost sight of the major propoadtlon upon which the whole new portion of the liquor law is based, viz., that the old liquor law provided for a tax system, while the present liquor law provides for a license, to secure which the saloonkeeper must enter into an agreement to abide by certain provisions of the new law. "The provision as to revocation of licenses on second conviction is certainly the most important change made by the new liquor law," says Rep. Cramton. "I am entirely confident- of its validity, and an attack by the liquor dealers will only serve to make conspicuous their hostility to law enforcement. They ahould note Justice Sherwood's remarks in the case on which they rely, 'The talons of the criminal law are seldom found resting heavily upon the innocent.* "While it is true that the revocation provision in the old law was declared invalid in 68 Mich., the new provision is radically different. In that case the dealer paid an annual tax and it was held that to take away the business on which the tax had been paid would be unconstitutional. "The money now paid by the dealer is paid as a fee for & license and the authorities uniformly hold that a license can be revoked for cause. Furthermore, when the license Is applied for the application must contain 'an agreement, in the event of the issuance of a license to such applicant, upon sueh application such a license shall be revokable as provided in this act.' Can it be possible that it is unconstitutional to.,hold.a,.liquor dealer to his contract with the Btate to obey the law? "An existing license granted undei the old law can not be revoked on two convictions. The dealer will simply be unable to get a renewal next year. The proceedings by mandamus would not reach the point, as the determination of the question of validity of this provision wpuld not affect the balance of the act. The only person who can raise the question Is a dealer who has been granted a license since Sept. 1, 1909, and has been twice convicted of violation of the law." Government After Lumbermen. It Is learned from an authoritative source that the government is making investigations which will involve a number of prominent lumbermen in such charges as fraudulent entries ol homestead lands, and deliberately stealing off government and filed lands. Instances are said to have been discovered where the proper filing has been made for homestead lands in Chippewa county, but the require ments thereafter were not lived up to. Some would live in other cities, visiting their land only occasionally. It is understood that some of these wouldbe homesteaders filed with no intention of living there, but merely de sired to strip it of its timber. Some deliberate steals without any claim whatever being filed have been discovered. Some homesteaders have gone to their lands after filing, only to find It robbed of its timber. Twenty such cases are said to have been discovered in Chippewa county not naming several in Delta, Luce, Schoolcraft and Marquette counties. It is said the timber but recently stolen would alone In this county amount to 700,000 feet. BRIEF MICHIGAN NEWS. Gov. Warner Home From Yucatan. Gov. Warner arrived at his home In Farmington after a six weeks' absence, mostly in the states of Old Mexico, including Yucatan. This is longer than he had been outside of the state altogether In the preceding ten years. The particular business feature of his trip was to see about getting a supply of sisal to keep the binder twine plant at Jackson-running, despite the knocks that prison contractors and the International Harvester is giving it. He was successful beyond his anticipations. MICHIGAN BREVITIES. Mrs. Harriet C. Mott, sister of the famous Bldwell brothers, whose forgeries swindled English banks out of $1,000,000 forty years ago, and who made desperate efforts to free her brothers from life sentences, died In Muikefon recently.

The local optioniata of Grand Traverse county at a meeting Sunday admitted themselves outwitted by the supervisors, and decided not to aak the .submission of the Question until 1911. In spite of Mayor Rose's declaration that he would not again debate with Dr. Samuel Dickie on the liquor question, the latter la anxious for another clash and wants to have it In Detroit. Making a dash to jjatch an M. C. train just &a It was pulling out of the depot, George Dodda, a traveling salesman, was dragged 6o feet, and aa a result la in a Lansing hospital with serious injuries. While attempting to ateal a ride from Toledo to Detroit, Harold Young, 16, a messenger boy, whose home la at Bradford, Pa., was inatantly killed by Lake Shore passenger train No. 324. Despite the fact that the Flint police received a message from a Detroit woman claiming to be his wife and asking him to return to her at once, J. C. Volmer denies that ha has or ever had a spouse. The funeral of Mrs. Hannah JBostwick, who for 72 years was a resident of Comstock township, was held Monday. Mrs. BoBtwlck, who was 96, died at the home of a daughter in GaleBburg. Charles Swlnt, aged 82, of Eaton Rapids, was burned to death in his shed when he lighted his pipe and his clothing caught fire.

The body was dragged along the track for half a mile, crushed and mangled beyond recognition. The university medical alumni of Ann Arbor have risen en masse to protest against the destruction of the old medical building, asking that it be converted into a medical museum, a library and a reading room. William Wright, a Traverse City laundryman, fell or was pushed from a dock into the cold waters of Grand Traverse bay, and yelled so lustily for help that 500 paople were attracted to the scene. He was rescued. Part of an eld gypsum mine on the Butterworth road, Grand Rapids, caved in under, half a dozen houses and the frightened "Polish residents scurried to shelter, leaving their belongings behind. No one was .injured. Leslie Holoomb, a Benton Harbor liquor dealer, entered a, Turkish bath and was forgotten by hia attendants until he became un&mscious. His flesh was literally cooked by1 the heat and fears are entertained fer his recovery. Taken from a train on which be had become suddenly ill, Orin Colberg, a well known > resident, of Escanaba, died just as he reached a Menominee hospital. Colberg was on his way to Grean Bay to receive treatment for stomach trouble. Bertha Voight, aged 14, was struck by a Pere Marquette freight train In Saginaw and received what will prove fatal injuries. The girl was walking down the track with a few schoolmates when the train hit her, throwing her into a ditch 20 feet away. The body of Esther Carlson, one of the party drowned in Mtfskegon lake, Thanksgiving, has been recovered, about 15 rods from the scene of the accident. The lake is still being dragged for the body of Oscar Carlson, who drowned while trying to save Esther. George Gibbens, 47, a homesteader of Witch lake, who went insane after he had shot and killed J. C. Kruse, whom he had mistaken for a deer, Oct. 28, 1907, is dead. Kruse was an Iron Mountain mine superintendent and he and his party had hired Gibhens for a guide. Editor F. L. Baldwin has been awarded a verdict of $1,000 damages against the Escanaba Liquor Dealers' association for injury to his business because of a. boycott Instituted against his paper. The affair was the result of Baldwin's activities in the anti-saloon fight. Mrs. Leonard Robinson, of Flint, denies the report that her son had gone to Mexico to meet his sweetheart. She said tonight: "No, I don't think that there is anything in the story that WiUard has gone to Mexico.'* The father seemed to regard the matter lightly and is of the belief that the boy may have re-enlisted in the army. M^pre entanglements in the affairs of M. Lee Hagle, missing village treasurer of Oxford, are promised by the action of his bondsmen. They have levied on all the property owned by Hagle in Leonard, even including the bank building of the Bank of Leonard. The affairs of the bank have been placed In the hands of a receiver, who will contest the levy of the bondsmen. The receiver will endeavor to hold all the property for the depositors of the wrecked . bank. DEEP-SEATED COUGH CURED IN FIVE HOURS.

But the girl was shivering with joy. Shep*nsvere<d the unearthly tone with sweet, excited eagerness. ''Merry Christmas, Nigger," she saldj and' added tremulously; "I'm so glad; you really can talk—it' must seehi nice after 'beitlg dumb." "Yes, it's nice," plgger responded civilly, but he seemed preoccupied. He went on with promptness. "You must go back to the house, children, at once. You'll catch cold." JX, waaquqer to nave th,elr own horjje giving them orders, yet the tone wae of authority. •'But, Nigger," AUce pleaded, "we want to talk to yoaw-we want to ask you some questions." It seemed almost as If Nigger had stopped to listen to something. They did' not notice the pad-pad of hoofs still a long way off. "What questions?" the hoarse voice demanded. "Be quick." Alice began, but choked with excitement, and Benny plunged to her relief, collected and deliberate. "We'd like some hidden treasure," he explained. "Treasure is money. To send father south where it's warm, 'cause he's sick. We want you to tell us where to get some treasure for father." Nigger appeared to be struck back to dumbness by this simple request, for no word came from the stall, only another of the soft, deep Inhalations —he had relapsed Into beasthood. Yet once more the weird tones Bpoke. "I can't tell you where to find any treasure," they said, "because there isn't any burled around here. But If you're good children and go straight into the house, then your -father is going to have enough money to go south—this winter or next. Now run quickly." G>^x!>x>y&:&<x&>&<»t^*>&ii&i<sxfK<x<tt waiting in the stable at 1 a. m., Dr. Harding talked of the horse and the harness and the roads as they un* -buckled the frozen leather, and the man's fingers slipped intp the once familiar business, and hlB ears listened to the once familiar voice. Ten minutes of swift work and the harness bung on its hooks, and the horse stood cared for and blanketed, in its stall. Maxwell swung across the stable and lifted., the small black bag. "I'll take that. Carl," the clergyman spoke quietly. "No—let me carry It for you," the younger man threw back, holding to It firmly. There was a second's hesitation; Harding's fingers loosened; he turned to the door; Carl Maxwell held the bag in his hands. Down the slope Harding led the way, and through the orchard vividly black and white with moonlight and shadow. Suddenly he faced about— the footsteps behind him had stopped —he stared through the zigzag of bare branches and deep shadows—where was the man? "Carl!" he called, and out of a splash of blackness ten feet back 3tirred the figure. "All right, doctor," Maxwell's voice answered. "I stopped to see If the seat I built in the Queen apple-tree was still there." A low light shone in the study as the two mounted the steps of the side piazza, and the clergyman slipped his key into the lock. He threw eopen the door and stood aside to let his guest enter. The man halted, and made an uncertain movement backward. Then he stepped Inflnished the recital wit* a look of bitterness in his eyes. "I believe I'm, * tool," he said. "The money mean* t&e chance of my life for a start—and I've no other chance. I meant to take it, till the children came, and then I lost my nerve. Alice has grown a lot I taught her her fljrs* wert-ndo yon. ?emem** 'ber? I didn't do the beast act entirely to get rid of them. I did it so they wouldn't be disappointed. I'm a fool. I'd planned the thing and I ought to have put it through. I could have gone to China, and in a year I'd have sent back the money—I'd have had a clear conscience and a grip on life such as I've never had before. But . it's beyond me now." The man looked down suddenly at his dingy overcoat. He smiled a queer smile at the clergyman. "I happened to think of how they used to have us sing 'Silent Night' before we had our Christmas tree, and of the velvet clothes I wore one year," he explained. "And now," he lifted the skirt of bis coat, "to be talking about Christmas trees—and carols. I'm Just one of the submerged. I'll go now, doctor. I might as well go. I had my chance and threw it away for sentiment I'll go now." He held out his hand. "It won't hurt you to shake bands." The clergyman did not stir. "Carl, I've got something to tell you about your cousin Sidney," he said. The man scowled. "I don't want to hear it," be shot through his teeth. "When I saw him walking with you to-day in his furred overcoat and his prosperity I wanted to kill him. He's forgotten I'm alive. It's nothing to him that I'm strangling—in the depths." "That's where you're mistaken," replied Dr. Harding in a quiet but positive tone. Maxwell lifted his chin and threw at the clergyman a glance like a blow. Harding went on at ease. "It's very much to him. When you saw him talking to me to-day, what The stable was quiet; small feet scurried over the snow toward the house; the door was left standing open, and strong moonlight poured through it and Illumined the place. When Dr. Harding drove in, the figure of a man stood black In the patch of brightness. "Whb is that?" he asked cheerily. The man answered: "It's a friend- Carl Maxwell." "Carl Maxwell!" the clergyman's vqice had a tone of unbelief. "What "I Came Here to Rob You," He Said. dji^you 'ni&atf—how can Vt be.^'darl Maxwell f* seTn* maa^jaaafflfr,forward.

Aa If it wtie a custom to find men side. In a moment the light was turned up, the fire was blazing, the room hung with cheerfulness. Maxwell stared about it, at the books, at the papers, at the worn furniture. The clergyman watched him a moment and then turned to a tray. "I don't know about you, Carl, but I'm hungry." He held out a plate of sandwiches. The young fellow set the bag down hurriedly and stretched out his hand. He was shivering, and he looked starved. Then the hand dropped. His teeth chattered, and he stared blankly into the clergyman's face. "I came here to rob you," he Bald. Harding gazed at him; his glance wandered to the black bag; he turned his back and bent over the coffee, bubbling above an alcohol lamp. Max^ well regarded hira miserably. Harding lifted his head with a smile. "We'll talk that over later, Cart," he said. "Sit by the fire—you're cold. And drink thla coffee." The man sat down. The hot coffee was almost at his mouth, when he looked up into the other's face. "How do you know I won't take the money?" he asked. "I could." The parson laughed. He put a friendly hand on the deep shoulder and patted it, as If the man were a child. "Well, yes, you could," he said. "Drink your coffee, Carl." Ten minutes later the man stood bedo you suppose he was talking about? You. When the man In the stable just now answered in your name. I felt as if Heaven had reached down and picked you up from somewhere and put you in my hands as an answer to what Sidney Maxwell said. He told me that Christmas never came but the thought of you "was with him; that when his own boys played with their toys around their tree he remembered always how you and he had played tc gether; that he had tried in vain to find you; that it was a constant grief that he and his father had Judged you harshly; that he would give his fortune to know where you are and make things right." As the man listened, defiance melted out of him; he did not answer or look up. The clergyman went on. "You see what child's play it seemed to me when you spoke of stealing three thousand dollars, with the Maxwell millions waiting. Not that it would have been possible in any case," he added quickly. "You thought you could do i t but you never could —never." "Perhaps I couldn't," the man said brokenly. "I,meant to—I don't know what stopped me." "The Lord," Harding answered tersely. "It Isn't the first time he has made children his messengers." Mrxwell lifted his eyes dreamily, like a man who had been unconscious VQCld loo good to be true. "I—I need to beUcje thoi#tthJag4»> me said. "I'd like to sow. I've «pe*n a long way down. "But I*re never < liked i t I've —been unhappy. It doesn't seem possible that I'm to have a chance. I waa coming here to drown myself in Meadow Brook—I thought I waa at the end of the rope. That waa my plan this afternoon. And then I heard yon and Sidney—and I waa glad to get a chance to live—I think it's in me yet to work hard and make a place for myself. I think so. I never enjoyed being scum—only you know I always went headlong whichever way I started, and it waa the same with the bad life I've been living. I can't believe I've been faced about—in a minute." The clergyman had pushed the man into a deep chair; tnt> firelight washed a friendly vagueness over the shabby clothes and over hia face, molding now into new lines under a crisis. His eyes lifted to hia friend's with a dazed gaae which had lost bitterness. Dr. Harding, standing over him, laid a calm hand on his shoulder. "My lad," he spoke gently, "it appears to me that going into wrong-doing is like going into a tunnel that leads downhill to darkness. At every step the walking gets harder, and the air gets worse, and it's dirtier and more uninteresting. And all the time all you have to do is to face about, and you see the sunlight "Of course it'a not simple getting back—I know that Sure as fate you will bark your shins, and stagger into holes, and fall down, and maybe get discouraged. But Heavens, man! What's that, when you see daylight and see you're getting to it! What's more, you'll see the faces of friends you didn't know you had, waiting ftft you—they were there all the time and you wouldn't look at them—you were facing the wrong way. "Of course a poor soul may wan der so far into the depths that he's beyond seeing the light—that's the awful danger." The' clergyman sighed. "But even then a hand stronger than your own wyi pull you out, if you'll trust to it. However"—his tired face brightened—"however, you're not Ir that case, Carl. You've swung about and sunshine and friends are waiting for yqu—a clean life—a man's work —a place in the world. It's wonder ful bow much less bad a bad situa tion usually is than we think. Thii afternoon you were going to kill your self; you were saved from that by the hope of a crime; then two babiee spoke a message and you listened tc it and faced about. That's the secret, to face about, to face right." Like drops of a strong cordial the words struck hot shafts into Maxwell. "A clean life—a man's work— a place in the world." He felt with a shock the strength and the will to get these things. The worn man whose Inspired eyes burned him, who stood for a force beyond either of them, had poured strength and will Into him. He threw out hie arms, drew a quick breath, and rose to his feet resolutely. "Lord helping me, I'll do it," he Bald. "That's the way to go at the business," Harding said, his face glowing with enthusiasm. "You'll do it, that way." And with that the clock in the hall struck four, and from upstairs there was suddenly an eruption and a descent of barbarians. Alice and Benny, mysteriously warned In a. dream of their father's arrival, came down upon him, like a wolf on the fold, and all but tore him limb from limb with stress of affection, and then, all at once, aware of the stranger, they were shy and lapsed info silence. But Dr. Harding took his girl's hand and put it into Carl Maxwell's. "I've brought home an old friend, Alice," he said. "Wish him a merry Christmas, my dear." And Alice smiled and said the words, while Benny, strangling his father, re-enforced the greeting with full, slow tones. "Merry Christmas, old frlen'—an* a happy New Year," said the deliberate Benny. Harding, hung with children, loosened a hand to pat the man's shoulder. His eyes were bright with the vision of the pure in heart, who see "Benny's hit it," he said. "That's what we all wish you, and what's coming, Carl—a happy New Year!" \ . r fore the fire and told his story. He I and * ho was coming alowly back to a Christmas Eve.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp crusade against tuberculosis promises this year to be broader in extent than ever before. While last year less than 20,000,000 stamps were sold, the present indications point to a sale of nearly 50,000,000 for this year. The Red Cross stamps are issued by the American National Red Cross, and are sold for one cent each. They are designed to be placed upon letters and mail matter during the holiday season. The money derived from the sale of these stamps will be devoted to tuberculosis work in the localities in which the stamps are sold. In this manner it is expected that about $400,- 000 will be realized for the campaign against tuberculosis in ail parts of the United States.

I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical condition much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result.

By F. A. MITCH EL. [Copyright. 1W8, by American Pr«M cla,tloa.J Etnm Blackburn whea be went to Paria was recoifuiaea by every oue a s a typical Americun ol that claaa WbutM motto is, "Every tub on lta own bottom." He not only considered every uue beaeath him, but every one above Mm, bis eyuul. No upirit of air romance prompted him to set biuaelf up above toe former, uor did uny fahsu modesty leud him to shun the latter. H e was as free with the one aa with tbe other. T h e result was that he was popular with all. Blackburn had risen iu bis own country from peddling farmers' hoUaebold uecetJ&ittes in a big red wagon to managing director lu a large manufacturing company. At tblrty-five he had made money enough to enable him to uee the world, and he s a w I t He liked Paris and stayed there loug enough to learn to converse, after a fashion, in the French language, and became interested iu French society. Not being afraid of appearing at a disadvantage among the better classes, he walked in uinoug them as if no one had a better right and remaiued there because" they rather liked him. "Whut charming effrontery!" they exclaimed. "What droll humor! No one but an American could thus disregard our conventionalities and be tolerated among us." But one morning Blackburn left Paris, followed by the maledictions of a select circle of French men and women who had taken- him up—thi\t is, he Would have been thus followed had they known where he had gone. There were others, w,ho knew the cause of the reversal of feeling toward him, the corners of whose lips curved in a polite satirical French smile. This is the wa^- it c^me $bput: . v Blackburn gave a dinner to the &et who had discovered in him such piquant American traits. Some evil minded persons hinted that the reason they fancied him w a s his pinners and his theater parties, but this never came to the ears of any of' the circle. The French are too polite to Impugn any one's motivea to one's face. Blackburn had discovered In Paris an American scientist whom he had long before hired to mnke some investigations for him fn a process of manufitcture and Invited biiu to the dinner. The scion tlst t}ied to beg off on the p\ea Hint he had, no ^ evening dress. Blackburn Insisted, and the .guest appeared in a pepper and salt suit. Not even French politeness could keep the company from turnlmr.a cold ahoulder to the scientist. The jit>or man endured the treatment,Mil If became unbearable, then excused himself. For n few minutes after his departure ' there wnvS nn embarrassing silence, when Blackburn snid: "In passing your Hotel de Vlllo today I noticed the Inscription. 'Llborly. Equality and Fraternity.' You talk of equality in France, but you don't know the word's meaning. Tp America 'wo don't try to tackle any one- of these words except liberty. We never prate about equality, but we don't Judge n man by his clothes." Hnvlnp thus expressed himself, the host turned the topic of conversation and, instead of permitting them to fall Into a bad humor with him. kept them well entertained and invited- ihem to another dinner to be irlvon two weeks hence, when he promised to present a friend whom ho was sure they would like. All accepted, and the party broke up with much gayety. When a fortnight had passed they reassembled to admire the American's originality, eat his viands and drink his wines. Tie presented to them M. de Plcrros, a Frenchman like themselves, who was faultlessly dressed, whose hair had been treated with curling tongs and whose mustache was carefully waxed. M. de Pierros was not a communicative man—Indeed, his conversation was confined to ''yes" nnd "no:" But since his dress Indicated that he was a gentleman he was treated by the other guoatAfaith scrupulous politeness. The only., time during the dinner that M. de Pierros used any words. excepting such as were monosyllables, was when the conversation turned upon soldiers meeting death on the flefd of battle. "That is nor meeting death at nil," said he. "It is being overtaken by death and cut down wlrhntit realizing its presence. It is another matter when one's ending has been appointed to t a ^ e 'rrfn're at a certain hour, of which be Is cognizant, or'when he is nwaKened nt midnight- from sleep 877¾^1^ to meet the antagonist. whom he knows shall vanquish him." There was something In the appearance of the speaker—no one could explain what It was—ns he said this to send cold chills down th£ back of every one present., M, de Pierres did hot pursue the subject. Jfe took up hip glass, touched it to his lips nnd set ft down again. "Wine, wine!" railed the host, "Confound that waiter! I sen^hlm ten minutes ago to bring it. I thlrfk lietnusthove ffoue to sleep. I'll go rnjsejf. m a t ' s rrjf way ive<*Irt tnmK» m Aim>r> Ica—we, do them ourselxea." * Btolnjr, he left tl»e room, "Monsieur," said one of the guests \:» M. de Pierres.

The 70J)OOt {aJMstjp wfcfr^rllijft to Canada to Uye^thls fall will tale with them some $ 70,000,000-f* la cash and effects. This is by no means a negligible sum. and makes a •ery appreciable drain on our resources. But, of course, the moat serious loss Is the men themselves and their families, who have forsaken the laid of the free and the home of the brave to dwell under the rule of a monarch. ' Why do they go? Naturally the cheap and fertile land of Western Canada attracts them. Each emigrant goes with a reasonable expectation of betterinsr^his^fsMudW 'Indeed, in a few years he may grow rich through the abandant crops he can*ralse" and the increase of land values! BrA perhaps the* i s not the -sole- readtftt for the astonishing migration. There is a common notion abroad that in Canada life'and property are appreciably safer than they are here. Murders are not BO frequent, and are more spitfediiy and surely punished. - Mobs ana the so-called 'unwritten law' are virtually unknown in Canada. Again the law is a vastly more ascertainable entity there. Canada does not permit Its jndgea toveto acts of, the legislative body. When a statute has been enacted it is known to be the laW of the land until it is repealed, this naturally imparts' to" Canadian cmlisatloB: • security -. and* stability waiich we have not yet attained. *We must remember, in the same connection, that the Canadian proteotipe tariff is far less exorbitant than ours, and much less boldly arranged for the benefit of special favorites. Hence there is an Impression, very widely diffused, that the Canadians are not so wickedly robbed by the trusts as we are in this country. Reasons like these sufficiently account for the exodus of a body of citizens, whom we can ill afford to lose, but they do not much assuage our regret that they cannot be retained in the United States." Speaking of this, a Canadian Government representative says that the Americans who cross the border are most welcome. The splendid areas of virgin soil, a large quantity of which Is given away as free homesteads, lie close to existing railways and to those utder construction. The railway lines that are assisting in this development are the Canadian Pacific, the Canadjtan Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The latter is built entirely on X" adlan BOII, and has opened up a derful stretch of land. Along this line during the year about closed thousands of American settlers have made their homes. T h e / have built the towns, and immediately began as factors in the building up of the great Canadian West. .Agents of, the Government are located in various cities throughout the United States who will be pleased to give any information that may be desired to further the interest of the sutler. . * * JKWARD * CLARK *<irmai»»t*o!i,' r^ri^tfr^ ^ iU?22rtoKiaf for i *l-m< n*s| fffWlf rfriessfi SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS MEETS • m m . i i Speaker Calk ¢15 jlojise to plauded byfrniids aiid Iaemiei> ,1 ' ^ r * - rr-rrr TPT . * -»> *™ +. 1 * • . •< Vice-Precident S l i ^ m i ^ Areaidet.

He was greeted with great applause from the galleries and from the floor of the House, many of the Democrats and insurgents joining in the demonstration, though in either case possibly the hand-clapping was given as an evidence of.regard for the office of speaker^ 'rather than as evidence of any overweening affection for the speaker himself.

Edward Everett Hale, the chaplain of the Senate, having died luring the summer recess, hie place aft chaplain, temporarily, was taken by a local clergyman who offered prayer. In the Senate* the rdH was called and It was found that nearly all the senators were in their seats. The resolutions were adopted to the effect that committees be appointed to inform the House and the president that the Senate had assembled and was ready to begin the business of the session. As was the case In the House many bills were introduced for consideration during the winter by senators who, like the representatives, desire to have a hand In forwarding administration policies. After a comparatively short session "in the open," the galleries were cleared and the Senate went into executive session behind closed doors for the purpose of considering nominations for office sent to the Upper House by President Taft.

The silm was received fn full of the amount due, which might have been recovered by civil suit against the beneficiary of the fraud, but there was an express reservation In the contract of settlement by which the settlement should not Interfere with, or-prevent the criminal prosecution of everyone who was found to be subject te the same. On the question of the tariff the president reassures the country as to possibility of tariff war over the)- maximum and minimum clause In the bill. He asks the people to have confidence that the chief executive will tactfully carry out the provisions of the measure. . , _ . . , ,. ^ Quoting the plank of the Mtkform on which the Republican candidate was elected, the message declaqss the intention of the administration to uphold every principle of law. but condemns the issuance of hasty injunctions. Deficit In the poetofflcs department^ the president declares, is due to the undercharging of second-class mail matter, he being of the opinion that such matter does not pay its due share toward expenses. The president continues: The deficit every year in the postoffice department Is largely caused by the low rate of postage of 1 cent a , pound charged on second-class matt ' matter, which includes not only newspapers but magazines and miscellaneous periodical* She*1 actual /Joss1 growlng out o f c t h e transmtssldn of this seeond-dasa^mall matter at 1 c e n t a pound amounts to about $«3,000,00* a yifaT.' The average cost o'f the t r a n s ~ portation of this matter Is more than 9 qertta a ppund. .t?r.% ' ,.»"'11, ;;' It appears that the average distance over which newspapers ""are delivered to their customers is 291 mile*, while the a ^ r a g * haul of magazines Is 1,K>«*. and of miscellaneous periodicals 1,128 mtleifc- Thus, the average haul of the magazine is three and one-half times and that of the miscellaneous periodleal nearly four times the haul of the daily newspaper, yet all of thero pay the same postage rate of 1 cent a pound. The statistics of 1907 show that second-class mall matter constituted 63,91 per cent of the weight of allfthe mall, and yielded only 5.19 per cent of the revenue. The figures g i v e s are Startling, and show the payment by^th* government of a n enorssous: subsidy to the news* papers, magazines and pertddlcals, and congress m a y well consider whether radioed steps should not be taken to reduce the deficit in the post-office department caused by this discrepancy between the actual cost of transportation and the compensation exacteif therefor. r ••*•+•*<•'• might -a* mere thaav hall loss, by imposing upon magazines periodicals a higher, rs,$e of post- »*"• ', "-., •, • l o " .

Ja F. Ge Jackson There is a growing demand in the Lyceum tor the Cartoonist. The old time chalk talker has given place to the man of versatile attainment who can "keep the ball rolling'1 with ready wit and wholesome humor, while sketching in rapid succession pictures which rivet the attention, please the eye, and point a moral. L. W. Foad was for many years cartoonist, for the Syracuse Herald and other New York newspapers and built up a wide reputation by his skill in producing likenesses, by the originali ty and strength of his ideas and the generalty of his humor. As an entertainer he makes use of these traits very successfully, and presents an evening of rare enjoyment. His program consists of humorous conceptions, caricatures, moral and political cartoons, scenery and story illustration. The cartoons are not mere sketches, but w*H drawn, elaborate pictures in toll co'or. As a story teller and impersonator Mr. Ford is particularly strong, and he poseaaes a voice of rare carrying power, so necessary in a cartoonist, while lie >peaks with great forcefnlness and magnatism. Altogether, it is an evening full of bright ness and fun, yet through it all runs a 'back-bone" of thought and helpfulness. Snfficiently oatchy to be popular; sufficiently brainy to be uplifting.

Those who believe that nature give* various-warnings "In th« tall true* th« winter ^B going to be severe, are predltitlng a strenuous feeaaon tor snow and fee and low temperature. The; say that the wild birds which stay In the nor^a during the winter have unusually thick plumage. The shells oi outs are. reported to be heavier than they are when a mild winter is coming, %nd chestnut burrs are also of tn« "old-fashioned winter" hind, If the** weather prophets >«re correct Furbearing animals are more warmly clad, according to. the. juune .wiseacres, „than they are before "open" winters, fijud the bones of .geese make the same prophecy. It Is all very interesting, but men who make the study of the weather their life work and bring to bear upon it all of the learning and scientific resource* of the age, utterly reject th^se much trusted warnings. They are certain that there is nothing in pie whole theory of animal preparations, conscious or unconscious, for differences in winters. They do not believe that the trees grow more bark or put thicker burrs on nuts because the winter fa going to be severe. In fact, the scientific experts who deal with the climate seriously and with Infinite pains. In all civilized countries, year after year, are sure that there is .no nature sign language which tells the character of the weather months in advance. According to ' revised' estimates"1 by the geological survey, the coal remaining in the United States amounts to some three thousand billion short tons. The figures are Inconceivable, but what they signify can be readily understood. In a word, the supply la sufficient to last for more than 7;000 years; presumably, at that, allowing something for present wasteful methods of production. To be sure, something less than one-half of the supply 1B accessible only, with difficulty, according to known methods of extraction. Still, with whatever exceptions, the revised estimates give a more hopeful outlook than the public had been led to believe were" possible from figures heretofore submitted. The remarks of President Swain to the students at the opening of Swarthmore college the other day contain much of sound sense. "Do not form the habit in college of spending large sums of money," said Dr. Swain to the freshmen. "When one has learned the value of money and has a' large degree of earning power, this matter will usually take care of itself. College students are not, as a rule, large money earners, and are usually spending money earned by others. It Is usually a safe rule not to spend much money until ^ou have learned how to earn it." It will astonish many to learn from government reports that the Indians are Increasing in number instead of decreasing, and that they are becoming more-^elf-supportlng. This gratifying improvement is laid U> - the greater facilities afforded for the education of boys and girls In the government Bchols and in the system-^ apportioning lands, says the Baltimore American. It is time that some measure of justice were being meted out to the original possessors of the land and efforts made to turn them from roving savages into useful and self-respecting citizens.

Speaking of the operation of the law Commissioner Zimmermann says the banks have in nearly every instance met the requirements of the amendments. BIQ Fire at Kalamazoo. A million-dollar fire, the worst In the history of Kalamazoo, was brought under control at 6 o'elock Thursday, after banning for over sit hours through a square in the heart of the city's business district. One hundred and sixty guests of the Burdlck hotel In the city were driven, scantily clad, into the streets, and as other hotels were crowded, many of them were obliged to remain in the icy streets. The hotel, with nearly a dozen other business establishments, was destroyed. Miss Nina Harrigan, night telephone operator at the' Burdlck, was the heroine of the fire. When the flames broke through the arcade adjoining the hotel and the building caught fire, she stuck pluoklly to her post and notified every,guest in the hotel by telephone of the danger. For nearly half an hour while the blase waa raging, with flremen rushing past her with lines of bote, engines puffing outside and a babel of contusion about her, the girl sat calmly at her exchange ringing one by one every room frl the building, and telling the guests to make their escape. She did not leave until firemen told her she would lose her life if she remained longer.

President to Htsr Them. Senator Smith, of Michigan, has arranged for President Taft to give a. hearing some time in the future to fishermen of Saginaw bay and a part of Lake Huron who object to the report of Dr. Davis Starr Jordan on international fisheries. The Michigan fishermen say that conditions in Saginaw bay and pari of Lake Huron are unusual and should be handled in a different way from other fishing grounds along the Canadian borders.

Pleading guilty In the munlclpa' court at. Battle Creek, Myron Young a wealthy farmer, was fined $100 oi 9ft days In jail for having adulterated milk sold by him on a local mill route. This is Young's second arrest on the same charge In the past twe years, the first hsvlng resulted in hlr paying a fine of $25. The complain' was made by O. C. Howe, deput> state milk inspector. Owing to th* condition of other milk sold them re cently, wholesale arrests of local milk dealers are threatened. Tt has been learned that Samue' Frisbie. who was acquitted at For Huron of the charge of slaying Loul Rosenburg, at the Flats, had deter mined to end his>Ufe If the verdlr had been against him. After his n lease Frisbie showed Sheriff Wager sell 12 strychnine tablets which tv had concealed in his cell, and whic' he stated he would have swallowed I? case of a conviction. It is believer he secreted the tablets while he wa being treated for typhoid fever lath hospital several wteki ago. There has been a sudden and unpleasant realization at Bluenelds or government strength ' and Insurgent weakness. President Zelaya has outwitted Gen. Estrada, and the latter's chief hope is in American intervention. It turns out that the conference sought by Gen. Vasquez, of the government troops, near Rama and which the insurgents had interpreted as a sign of yielding on the part of Zelaya's troops, was a blind intended to secure a delay of the expected battle until the loyal army had Becured a decided advantage of position. It is also learned that while Zelaya had kept a scattered force before Rama, his real army of 3,000 men was hurrying by forced marches toward Bluefields. The report that a descent on this city from Rama was possible only by river Is now known to he untrue. Estrada endeavored to cover his alarm by Informing the correspondents at the front that all was tranquil with the prospect that Vasquez and MaJ. EVa would surrender. Ten minutes after he had talked with the reporters the insurgent leader had his chief diplomatic aide, Adolfo Diaz, on the telephone, and was telling him what he believed to be the situation In truth. To his aide he declared the Americana should send more marines ashore, as Vasquez apparently had outflanked him. Estrada also expressed the opinion that a request should be made of the United States government for protection to the 150 Americans In Blueflelds Diaz rushed to United States Consul Moffat with the new intelligence, and the consul assured him that Commander Shipley's marines from the United States cruiser Des Moines, with their six rapid fire gHns, would be able to control the situation here in the event that the loyal army suddenly surprised the city. ,-.- It wa?,recalled today that Eva, one of the government envoys at* yesterday's conference, was the man who .surveyed the 'telegraph line across the country, and that none knows better the hidden places through the forests, swamps and hills. If President'Taft is determined that Zelaya shall be deposed, it is believed here that the United States forces will find active participation in the struggle neceaaary, , 1 COUGHING BURST BLOOD-VKMCLr Says Danger Avoided and Curat Coigns in 6 Hours. * .A* w i t t « J * » sha medical press Btates thut toughing Is responsible for the burirrrng of blood vessels quite frequently.

Sitting in the middle of the floor, with a plaintive look about Its frayed ami seemingly weary buck, It bringB back a'tumultuous riot of sad recollections that time can never efface. Volumes of bitter anguish come to me when I arrive home in time to catch the milkman swiping the loose furniture around the place, and take off my shoes to avoid publicity, and strike my beBt toe against the rocker of the old vacant chair. Then, forgetting for the moment my unclad feet, I kick the chair on the other rocker.

"I was troubled with a severe Itching and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles., feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused Intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon Baying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many Bo-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up In despair. After Buffering agonies fort twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cutlcura Ointment. I continued its use, Combined with Cutlcura Soap and Pills, and I was completely cured. Henry Seirle, little Rock, Ark., Oct. 8 and 10, 1907." Potior Drug & Chom. Corp,, Sole Prop*, Boston.

On one occasion the general was waiting for his breakfast, and his faithful negro servant had gone to catch some fish for the feast. When the servant was away an unusually long time the general called to him impatiently: "Why don't you come here-with that fish, Sam?" Sam in the meantime had caught a flounder, which is white on one side, with a whiteness that looks like raw fish meat. "All right, Massa Reuben!" called out Sam.

VERA'S FIRST LOVE i i ' v • P > > - " ' By CARL, BARON TORRESANX UJupyrigtit, by Short tttorie* Co., Ltd.) Count Mishko—his family name does not matter as everybody called him Count Mishko, In true Vienna fashion—ought to have been the happiest main altve. Young and handsome, blessed with a beautiful and charming wife, whose moist extravagant whims, as well as his own, he was .amply able to gratify—nothing seemed lacking to complete his happiness. Nothing, Indeed, was lacking, but something was present which he might well have spared—suspicion! The first year of bis married life bad been one long dream of bliss. Two people were never more perfectly matched than he and Counters Vera. But suddenly there came a change. Without imaginable cause, Vera's merriment ceased abruptly. She became grave, pensive, almost morose, and a hard, cold expression replaced the sunny smile that had hitherto played about her beautiful lips. Mishko was in despair. "What is the matter, sweetheart?" he asked. "Have I offended you in any way?" "You? Oh, you men! In your vanity you Imagine yourselves the cause of everything." "But this sudden change—" "Mishko, I wish you wouldn't notice every little trifle. It grows tiresome In time." She turned away sullenly, but he caught her and drew her to his knee. Then ensued the first unpleasant scene of their love drama. It was ended by Vera rushing wildly to her bedroom and locking and barricading the door against the enemy. Mishko went to the Jockey club and sought consolation in the companionship of old friends and old Amontillado. At two o'clock in the morning, when he came home, whistling and thoroughly consoled, a servant handed him a note and said that the countess had gone away. 1)o not be alarmed," she had writtern "I am not running away, though you deserve it. But my nerves are worn out and I must find rest*—where, 1 da not yet know; some quiet place In the mountains, probably. I shall be all right In a week. Please do not try to And me. You will not succeed and will only make me angry. Possess your soul In patience, Mishko, dear. It had to be, for your sake'and mine. In a week, dearest wild man, I shall be in your arms again. Meanwhile I send you my forgiveness and a thousand kisses." This note instantly dispelled Mlshko's slight exhilaration. In the morning he telegraphed to every one whom Vera would be likely to visit and, receiving only negative replies, resigned himself to his punishment. On the third day he happened to meet that good-looking but vapid fellow, Sokoloff, of the Russian embassy, who asked: "Any news from St. Petersburg?" "Eh?" said Mishko. "I]rom the most charming of countesses, I mean. She should be there by this time." "My wife! She is no more in St. Petersburg than we are." "Strange! She was in such haste." "When? Where? About v/hat?" "About her passport." "She applied for a passport? When?" "Friday morning." M^Bjjk^ wiped his brow. Though not exactly a sage, he was by no means a fool. He could put two and two together. Wfyen Vera had played her great Bcen«* she'had been in possession of her passport several hours. She had provoked the scene deliberately to afford a pretext for her sudden flight, He waited, but not patiently, and in tileepleas Rights he formulated a plan to pay her back in her own coin if ^ier explanation should be unsatisfactory or su^icioua. If she could act a part, so £>uld he. On the seventh day after her de- Vera returned, radiant as the lng even these, when one morning at breakfast, he-was, startled fey *e«lng in hib wife's face the same cold, hard, ominous expression that It had wont Just before the scene of 18 months before. He tried tP drive It away by Jests and affectionate words—both very artificial and equally fruitless. Vera's face seemed hardened to stone, and her heart also, for the few words which he wrung from her were uttetred in a tone that chilled him. He telephoned to the Russian embassy and received the answer he expected. Very well! He waa prepared. Now let the play begin! Of course it was not necessary for a lady of Vera's lively lmamingation to play the same comedy twice. This time the stage setting, dialogue and action were quite new, but the finale was the same—a nocturnal flight. In a sleeping car of the international express she slumbered without dreajning that her husband lay awake within a few yards of her, and on the following evening, when she peeped out of the troika which conveyed her from the station to a fashionable hotel on the Nevsky Prospect she failed to recognize her trim and elegant Mishko In the fur-wrapped occupant of a carriage close behind her. Mishko stopped at the same hotel and next morning stationed himself In a cab near the entrance. After waiting three hours he saw his wife come out and enter a troika. He followed her to a fine apartment house in Volshaya Btreet and to an apartment on the second floor, the door of which closed after her, almost in his face. In wild excitement he rang the bell and WBB admitted by a servant !n livery. As he entered he heard a scream and a sound of something falling to the floor, and through an inner doorway he saw Vera standing and at her feet —a broken-dental plate with two Incisors ! Man is a strange creature. Mishko, it might be supposed, would have shouted with Joy rit t tits' proof that his tormenting suspicions were groundless, but It was also a proof that Vera had decoived him In anotner way for years, and this new thought completely engrossed him. As they drove back to the hotel he listened with a very bad grace to her tearful explanation. It had happened when she was a schoolgirl in St. Petersburg—an accident in skating. Luckily no one had seen the damage except ber father, who had hurried her off to the best dentist in the city—the one she had Just visited—and nobody had ever guessed ber humiliating little secret. "Why need you go to St. Petersburg?" "Because there lived the one man who knew my secret, which I did not care to confide to another." Now or never was the time to learn the vhole truth. "How about that fellow?" he asked. "Who?" "That fellow. You know well enough. To speak frankly, I would have sworn that you came—" "To meet him? Here, In St. Petersburg? So that is why you followed me! O, my poor, dear boy, that was a master stroke of diplomacy! Do you know where he is? In Vienna! You see him and shake hands with him every day and have never had the BlighteBt suspicion. How could you? A respectable father of a family, a stiff, formal diplomatist, and quite uninteresting. I can't imagine what I ever saw in him to admire." "Who is he?" "Your friend Sokoloff of the Russian embassy." ^ "TW* * * m . Mishko!" she cried, ex- IfMfat ber arms. "*lt was less an embrace than a wrestling match. All he said was: "Where have you been?" "Do not ask, Mishko! If you love me.'dear boy. do not. remind me of that which I wish to forget. It is past and, gone and this moment is the commencement of a new life for us." "Serpent!" he muttered undor his breath, but ne made no audible reply and never again referred to his wife's eccentric flight. It did seem like a new life, for Vera apparently sought to atone for her action by redoubled effusiveness and docility. Vera's deceitfulner*, her well-acted comedy, still rankled, but he had nearly arrived at the point of forgiv- Extlnctlon of Chinaberry Tree. The Atlantic Coast line has taken steps looking to the extermination of the chinaberry tree. It has long been claimed that the tree is a breeder of the white fly, and as the government has taken a hand and the experts have declared that the pest is bred to an alarming extent in the chinaberry tree, we can but commend the action of the Coast line in the matter, and we hope the step they have taken will encourage others in this country to follow suit. The Coast line has given orders that every china tree along its right of way in Florida be cut down. Name Towers for King and Queen. The news that the king and queen have consented to allow their names to be assigned to the western towers of Truro cathedral is extremely welcome.

Three Excellent Examples of the Pre vailing Modes Are Here Shown— Gowns That Are Adapted to All Figures. A glance at the pictures of three French gowns, given here, reveals the consummate art of their designers in the management of draperies. The season has demanded hints of the pannier and o r e r i k i r t ami drapery of some sort on almost every gown, but t h e s e draping* must be arranged to follow the lines of the figure and the gown must be graceful, else milady will h a v e none of it In Pig. 1 a gown is shown In which the pannier idea does service that is excellent for the woman of slender figure. No other should attempt to wear 1L The p a n n 1 e r "drapery is fullest about the hips and extends to the bot- . , torn of the skirt, the beautiful lines of the high baca are preserved by a panel applied over the skirt, apparently with the lower end hanging free. Here the opportunity for decoration Is taken advantage of, by a scroll pattern ot soutache braid matching the gov" colon A sleeve, entirely cos with the braid, and the introduction of braid on the bodice makes a rldh and quiet effect whtcn is very elegant For those of plump figure the model In Fig. 3 is a happy choice. This is the popuw a s h e r w om an style and the gown sets to the figure in long, almost unbroken l i n e s . The drapery, however, is brought below the knees in front, and really falls halfway to the ground at the back — a device which lengthens the figure most effectually. An added advantage lathe lack of tullness at the waist line. There is not so m u c h as a wrinkle anywhere. This requires proper cutting, and it will be noticed that a girdle joins the bodice and skirt, to provide tor the adjustment of the drapery without a plait or gather. No decoration appears on this gown except "" For Greater Warmth. Capes are cold things when worn in winter, but being fashionable, they are popular in spite ot colds and coughs. Here is a hint for making them more comfortable: Make a pair of loose sleeves of silk the color ot lining or outside of cape, as preferred. The latter is more serviceable. Wad them, finish on top and bottom and attach to the cape with a ribbon or elastic To adjust sleeves put them on, throw cape over them and tack near shoulder line. Take care that they do not pull *he cape out of shape. at the yoke, and everything afeofet R proclaims Its adaptation to the worn* on who w lanes to loojfc. taller or mors slender than she is. " Fig *., was not designed tor a, special kind or figure, but to show the introduction ot the overskirt idem at Its best A drapery which simulates a drop skirt and overskirt so cleverly. , in a g o w n all-in-one, proclaims the artist. This model is suited to any of the light weight fabrics in silk or wool and for a demi-dress c o s - tume cannot be excelled tor general excellence of design. The yoke Is in heavy lace. A model in black foulard having a tiny scattered dot in gray was made up this way. Toe yoke in this case waa of black braided net over a deep crimson satin lining. Bands of black volvet ribbon were set across the back, over the shoulders and across the bust Jet ornaments were applied to them. This was a really brllliapt and unforgettable gown, although made of so simple and In ex penal VJ a fabric. JULIA BOTTOM LET. SUBSTITUTES GOOD AND BAD Those That Are Allowable and Others That Should Be Distinctly Frowned Upon. It Is not snobbery, hut the last remnant of a Justifiable theory that objects to the substitution otf white hunnle for ermine and black kittens for fox and lynx. The full-grown black cat la not a matter for so great regret, and herein rests the foundation of the whole tale of the understudy. If the hardy black cat be called' Into requisition, and should its skin be of sufficient toughness to hold together for a season, the cat is, in itself, a no more despicable animal than the Tox, and, letting aside the question of the killing of said cat for his fur, he should, be fairly well received, if, however, he be but kitten and not able to render ap that cental* wear and tear for value received, he should indeed be shunned. Some women have t:.e courage of their convictions, and. when moneyless, are not averse to the warmth supplied by common, ordinary black cat, even although he be not absolutely lynxlike in appearance, and provided he will hold together for a season. Things that wear, in other words, are not miserable imitations, tut reputable understudies. PaBte Jewelry is rn every case the dubious substitute for unattainable elegance, whereas the semi-precious stone, with its wealth of color, set in simple metal, is the durable, the desirable understudy. —"»« soon)* mnmm THE FARMERCOF CENTRAt CANADA R«AP WHHAT AND <• RICHES. The High Handshake. The customs of society often hire queer origins. Some years ago the members of a somewhat inferior set took to shaking hands on a level with their chins, a mode copied from royal parsonages who, suffering from an abscess under the arm, avoided the pain. fal friction entailed by shaking hands in the ordinary manner and resorted to a higher level. This was observed by some lesser lights, from whom the custom spread.—Home Notes. Corset Covers.

Mr. Bailey-bought the* 640 acres of land near Grand Coulee two years ago. He Immediately prepared the whole section for crop and this year has 600 acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats. The wheat yielded 19,875 bushels, and the oats yielded 4.750 busnels. The whole of the grain has been marketed and Mr. Bailey is now worth 117,550 from t h e grain alone; He bought the land at $18 an acre, and the other day refused an offer of $35 an acre, just a $17 adv»n«e-jr0r,the.itim.e of his purchase. The land cost $11,320 in the first instance. Here are the figures of the case.—Land cost, 640 acres, at $18, $11,320. Wheat yielded 19,875 busnels, at 84 cents a bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 4,750 bushels at 28 cents a bushel, $855. Offered for land, 640 acres at $35 an acre, $22,400. Increase value of land, $10,880. Total earnings of crop. $17,550, together with increase in value of land a total of $28,540. It Is interesting to note the figures of tlie yield per acre. The wheat yielded 33½ bushels to the acre, and oats 118.7 bushels to the acre. The figures are a fair indication of the average throughout the district. * ,.i Agents of the Canadian Government in the different cities will be pleased to give you information as to rates, etc. Decollette.

We have often wondered in the past why so many offices and commissions tor different things were needed in the state. Every little while we see oi a new office being created and some one appointed to fill the place. When that is not enough to go around, some commission is established and another appointed. When we pay our taxes we find "there is a reason." Dr. H. F. Sigler and F. L. Andrews were the first in this section to receive their auto numbers and licenses by the new law that takes effect J i n . 1, 1910. This new law requires a fee ot $3 per year from each auto owner which entitles him to the two number plates for the front and rear of the machine. Tbe color of the labels change yearly. The ones for 1910 are white enameled background with fignrers and letters in black. PUTVAM AOT HAjaxrma I I B K - SBsT d U B .

QUAD. [Copy riant, l*», by American Frass aiattosuj For ten year* aunt Hannah D a j . widow and raaldant ot tbe villas* of Clyde, had bean % sort of terror to most of the residents. She lived alone and was well to do, and she Just doted on lawsuits. AT tbe end or ten years Elder Thomas waa about the only cltlsen of the town worth sulug who had not been sued. His time was close at hand, however. He had two hives of bees in his back yard, and they had •warmed earlier than was looked for. Not finding new hives ready, they had passed over into Aunt Hannah's orchard and stung her and her cow and pig before going farther. Bhe decided to start a suit for damages. Elder Thomas had never had a lawsuit nor been summoned as a juryman or witness. Be had a dread of the law, and the knowledge that be was going to be sued set him trembling. It was no use for him to go over and see • u n t Hannah. She never changed her mind nor settled a case. He heard of her decision one morning, and he spent the forenoon worrying over it. He was •till worrying after dinner when he •et out with hoe on his shoulder to work in a cornfield half a mile outside the village. On the edge of the. field was a creek, and on the banks of the creek was an old shed in a tumbledown condition. The elder had been hilling up' corn for about a quarter of an hour when a voice called to him from the shed. He raised his head and listened, and it called again. He dropped his hoe and took a few steps forward, and the voice cried out: "Stop, Elder Thomas! Stop right where you are!" "Who is It?" "It's me—Aunt Hannah/' "Are you in the shed?" "Tea." "For the land's sake, bnt what are ran doing way out here, and what's happened to your" "You keep your place right where you are, and I'll tell you. I came out to pick some blackberries, and after I got hare the fit took me to go in swimming in the creek. I undressed in the shad and paddled round for half an hour, and when I came out of the water I found that an Infernal hog had Stewed all my clothes to rags. There ain't a piece left aa big as my hand. FVe been waiting here a whole hour." "But what are yon going to do?" asked the elder as he scratched the back of his head. "Don't ask fool questions! I've got «o get home, haven't I? And I can't gat home without some clothes. I'd seed clothes even If I waited till midnight" "I guess you would; but, you see, 1 esa't Lend you any of mine. All I've got on Is shirt and trousers." "Who wants to borrow any of you? I don't, I'm sure. 1 want you to go home and tell your wife about it and bring me back a bundle of her clothes. You don't s'pose I'd go back to town tn trousers, do you? What you sueak Ing up Higher for?" "I want to sit down on that log and talk to you a mlnit. You sent me word this morning that you was going to sue me about the bees." "Yes, 1 did. It was all your fault, and you'll have to pay smart money for It." It struck the elder as he sat down on the log that the situation was in bis hands, so to say. The spot waa a quarter of a mile off the road and very retired. There was hardly a chance of the woman finding another messenger for two or three days. Accident might enable him to accomplish what delegations and committees had failed to. "Well, why don't you go?" asked Aunt Hannah after a long minute. "Do you think I want to stay here all the afternoon? There may be more n forty hogs in my garden by this time. There are tramps around, and tnebbe some of 'em are robbing tbe house." "Yes, jest as you say," replied the alder, "but I think we'd better have a talk before l go after any clothes. Why should 1 go after clothes for a woman who's going to make me trouble?" "You didn't take care of them bees." "And you didn't take care ot your clothes." "But I've never stopped a lawsuit and never will." "And I've uever lugged clothes for a woman fool enough to let a hog chaw up her duds I'll go back to work, and you can get some one else." Aunt Hannah was spunky, and she stood out for balf nu hour. Then she called the elder back to the log and agreed not to begin suit against him. "That ain't enough," he replied. "I've been thinking. You've made lots of folks lots of trouble, i f • time you stopped the lawsuit business. If you can't see it that way you'll have to get out of this trouble as best you can. I'm going to start for home soon, and Tl\ be neighborly enough In case 1 meet any tramps on the way to send 'em here. They may lend you some clothes." "Elder Thomas, you are a brats! 41'posing It was your wifer J31X wife doalt. sue folks." There were threuts uud argumei rs a*d entreaties, but the elder stood Or in. and the victory was bis. When AUPT Hannah bad given her wyeum word to give uu the law. be went alter tan clorhen He not only brought theiiM but he brought bis wife ulyng as well* and then rc/ilnnl ly;o.tpe jggrn and left] the twi» women togerlier. There were pledges* uud promises given. :n:il for roars it was a mystery to i!;i' relieved clthcenu of Clyde why Aunt Hannah so suddenly reformed. She died a few months ago. and so there is no longer occasion for secrecy. The Advantages of England.

Owing to tbe iutereat taken in the milk cases by the general public, 1 deem it my duty t o g i v e the reasons for dropping the nine remaining milk cases; also to explain the law and the course that will be followed by the Dairy a n d F o o d Department, s o that the milk producers may avoid further trouble. I held a consultation uu D e c . 7, with A . C. Bird of the dairy ami food department and lie e x p l a i n e d that it was not the policy I of the Btat* to drop cases after they were started but, as o n e case has been tried vigorourly in three trials, he was willing to have the remaining cases dropped if I d e e m e d best. T h e r e is nc revenge iu the law. There ought to be some g o o d acompliuhed when a prosecution is started and I am satisfied that so far a s the milk producers are c o u - cernee in this county, that tiiey wiLI be au careful in the h a n d l i n g of their milk uow aa they would be p r o v i d i n g we should try every suit to the tiuish . "No oue caren to be brought into the limelight. T h e purchasers of miljs. h a v e a right to protection under the l a w , but if ad possible good has beeu obtained from prosecuting the oue case it would be an unnecessary expense to push the matter further at this time. T h e Dairy a n d F o o d Department will \ without doubt take samples of milk in the j future, and as a large number of farmers h a v e asked men iu regard to the law, 1 ahull e x p l a i n it at this time, as I am sure no c u e wants to get into trouble. T h e law provides that if milk Hold or offered for sale at the factory, contains lean than 3 per cent of Butter fat or less than 1J p e r cent of milk solids or less than 1.029 of specific gravity it w i l l be deemed to be a violation of the l a w . H o w e v e r , the Dairy and F o o d department will start no prosecutions unless the analysis shows that water has been added or that the cream or part of it has been r e - m o v e d . I t is claimed by the State Chemist that h e c a n tell whether water has been put into the milk or whether cream has been taken off. T h e People have been in t h e milk business i n this County for a great many years and it has become a very important business, yet there has been some talk that in the summer time ice has been put in the milk by some to keep it c o o l ; that of course melts and produces water. On tha other hand some of t h e people have felt that it was no harm to take off cream for the coffee, etc. If cream is takan off the top of the can the test for butter fat will show a decrease and trouble might occur. W h e n the State makes a test aud as a result of the analysis it shows that either the cream has been t tken off and water added, I have no choice, it is my duty to prosecute; y e t I a m sure that if the p e o p l e of the county thought that there was any danger of trouble they would exercise great care, and caution the membert of the family a n d everyone who has a n y t h i n g U) d o in handling the milk so as to aroMf^ny trouble. If the analysis of the milk shows that it was in the same conditiou as when taken frgm the cow, the State department - i n - forms me that their policy is to notify t h e producer and n o prosecution will be started. T h e sample of milk is taken at the factory because that it is the place where the title of the milk is transfered, t h e milk is weighed, the farmer is given credit a n d that is the place where the factory exercises its right of acception or rejection in case the milk has soured. I write the above so that no farmer in the county need feel that h e is in danger unless water is a d d e d or cream taken off. I wish to say further that in case the State should take a s a m p l e of milk and the producers should find that some one else had tampered with the milk, drank o u t of the can or anything of that kind, if it was called to my attention aud proof furnished I am sure that s o far an the state or myself is concerned we would not care to do a n y o n e an injustice, but the matter could b e adjusted without the publicity or e x p e n s e s of a trial.

I ill your glass again, with a merry face and contented heart. Our life on it, but your Christmas shall be merry and your New Year a happy one.—Charles Dickens. T T T ^ E M E M B E R that as surely as in that T ^ baby life at Bethlehem there lay the <-*• *-^ power which has run through all the world; the power which makes Judea burn like a star forever; the power which has transfigured history; the power which has made millions of men its joyous servants; the power of the millenniums yet to be, JO surely in the humblest soul's humble certainty that it does love Christ, there lies enfolded all the possibility of the most perfect sainthood.—Phillips Brooks. TJ T IS a good thing t«"> observe Christmas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men apce to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual lite. It reminds a man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the peat clock of humanity, 'which runs on sun time.—Henry VarrDyke. At the Birthplace of Christ. At last f am come to the market, place, at one end of which stands the church of the Nativity, marking the holy, lowly birthplace. There Is only one entrance from the street, and it is so low that in entering one ia forced to bow the head, and assunio a posture of reverence. Down the dark and winding stairs, slippery with the drippings of countless candles, T make my way to that lowly place into which first came the Light of the World. The Grotto of the Nativity is a cavern beneath the church, long* narrow, an4--low-ceiled, with pendant lamps of precious metal and rare workmanship lighting the gloom. Tho floor is marble, and wonderful old tapestries, pictures artd silk hangings cover the walls. A marble cradle in one corner' commemorates the manger; and in a recess on one side a dozen or more hanging lamps Hshi herds abiding in the field, keeping wa over their flock U P P O S E a note came on Christmas Day saying not, "I tend my love and best wishes with this spool-box," but, "I want you to know that your patience, or courage, or tenderness, during this last year, will help me to liva more bVavely and courageously this year." What a Christmas present the receipt of such a letter would be to any one of us. What a gift for any one of us to send to the human heart that hat given us courage for the burden and heat of the day.—Margaret Deiaod.

Antoinette ran downstairs and shrieked for help. Neighbors ran to the rescue. A man rushed into the room with • heavy crowbar, and dealt the anlma' a crashing blow across the head. Tber a woman appeared with a red hot Iron and laid It heavily across the dog's nose. With a howl he loosened his jaws. The man caught the child, and alt within the apartment succeeded in reaching the hallway and slammed the door, leaving the dog a prisoner. Patrolman Thomas Wedder heard the dog's cries, and was told of the affair by neighbors. Patrolman Thomas Oeevy Joined him, and with drawn revolvers the two men entered the kitchen. Creevy adyapced. guarding ,himself with a chair. As the brute sprang he was met by a bullet in the chest. Several shots were flred without effect and the dog landed on the chair held In CreeTy's hands splintering It. Finally the anitrial ran into a bed room and crawled under the bed. The men flred two more shots and he rolled over as though dead. Without warning the animfcl revived, grabbing Creevy In the right thigh, tearing a gash of several Inches and cutting the leg of his trousers entirely off. Then he sprang for the last time and his Jowls were within a foot of Wedder's throat when the last shot struck him squarely under the eye, killing him. The time of the fight was 2C minutes. Every one o\ the 12 bullets flred had passed through his body. The dog was a pure white English thoroughbred of the fighting stock and had been regarded as dangerous for some time.

"I was on my way home one night," said the retired baritone, according1 to Illustrated Bits, "and the hour was late. As 1 turned a corner at a lonely Bpot a wild-eyed man stepped out in front of me. In his right hand he carried a pistol and In his left* a gleaming knife. With a low, mocking laugh he thrust his burly form athwart my path, and said: " 'At last I have you in my power. I have sworn to kill the first man I met after 3 a. m. You are he—alBO it. Would you rather be shot or stabbed?' "Immediately I saw I had to do with a madman. Quick thought was necessary. Right there and then my long training stood me well In hand., Taking a pint bottle of carbolic" acid from my overcoat pocket, 1 remarked, jovially: " 'Old acout.J greet thee as a friend. Kill me if thou wilt, but first let us drink success to the crime.' "It made a hit with the bug. He grabbed the bottle and took a swallow like a stage hand. As he fell writhing on the sidewalk I stepped over his body and continued on my way." "How did you happen to have a bottle of carbolic acid with you?" asked the incredulous press agent. " I was taHing it home to put on ray hair," answered the retired baritone. Duty Society Owes to Unfortunates. Consumption is primarily a poor man's disease. Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York city says: "Ilqughly speaking, the incipient tuberculosis patient can buy as many chances of Fresh air and cure as he has money." The percentage of deaths from consumption among the poor is 100 per cent, higher than among the well-to-do and the rich. Sixty-live per cent, of the consumptives in the United States are too poor to provide proper means for treatment. They must either bo placed in a sanitarium or a hospital where they can be cured of their disease and where they will be removed from the possibility of infecting other members of their families, or the loss resulting from neglect to care for these poor consumptives will be twice or tbr.ee times as great as w^uld bo the case if they arc properly housed In institutions."

HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break, i > An ingenious philosopher estimates that, the amount of will power necessary to break a life-long habit would. If it could be transformed, lift a weight Of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope In a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach.

AORlCTTtTUfcAX, ENGINEER WIBCON1I11) Tbe Klhg system of ventilation consists of two sets of floes, one s e t provides fresh air, while the other furnishes an escape for the vitiated air. The (reth air flues should be placed not mdre than ten feet apart and located in the exterior wall of the barn. No fear of putting in too many inlets, since (fee greater the ( number tbe more effect!^ the,yentMaJtlon.,Tne outlet may Include one or more dues, but should be so located as to provide the quickest means for removing the foul air. All stable walls and ceilings should be nonconductors of heat and cold, otherwise moisture will collect as frost In Cold weather and drop as water In moderate- weather. In a station barn the flues for taking out the foul air are two in number, one midway In each side wall. These flues pass upward to the left, where they meet a central chimney. There is also a ventilator flue opening from the ceiling into the bottom of the chimney for more rapid.movement of air In hot weather to keep the stable cooler. In winter this ventilator would sacrifice a large amount of warm air and the opening Bbould. be kept closed until the stable becomes too warm. The central flue is 40 Inches in diameter and rises 50 feet above the floor. The lateral flues which join the main chimney are 18 by 24 inches. There are two objects In bringing the ventilator shaft near the floor. First, remove the waste products of the lungs produced by breathing, as this foul air always settles near the floor and animals are compelled to breathe it with the impurities. Second, to dispose of the cold air in the winter rather than the warm. The coldest air in a room is always on the floor and the warmest at the ceiling. The walls of the barn are made of studding, sheeted up both InBlde and out with matched lumber and building paper. Several of the spaces between the studding are used for fresh air flues. We have used this system for 11 years and have found It to be entirely satisfactory. Wrong construction of foul air flues has sometimes led to the failure of tbe system. Some farmers make them like any ordinary boxed openings and then condemn the system because of their mistake. To construct the flue of this kind the lumber should be nailed closely, covered with paper, and after the paper a second thickness of lumber. This will Insure proper air capacity, aa it increases the friction of the moving air In the flue. A good ventilating flue must have the same qualities as a good chimney. It should rise above thei highest part of the roof so as to receive the full force of the air and wind. The best location of the foul air nue, when only one Is used, would be in the center of the barn. If two flues are used place one on each side of the middle of the stable. A Rising Gate. bucket Is filled with stones until the gate is a trifle heavier, so that a pull will make it fold back in place. ^ V - . ^ ' - V v Pea Growing. Pea growing for soil improvement is quite profitable upon sandy lands that are especially lacking In humus. Peas are a good crop to sow on clover or timothy sods the first year after breaking* as they greatly aid in subduing the soil. The peas should then be followed by a crop of grain and the land seeded down to clover. AUTUMN LEAVES FOR HUMUS F A R M N O T E 8 . Should Be Raked Together and Saved —Those from Forest Make Bedding and Litter. If you have any trees on your farm —and you should have—begin to rake up the leaves and save them as fast as they fall. Especially should this fct 4one where the leaves fall in exiMsejd places, where they will blow t i l l and become lost If the ground UftNftr the trees la covered with grass, weeds or brush that will catch and hold the leaves then they may well remain where taey fall to become future fertilizer and humus. Forest leaves make the very softest and best bedding for all farm animals tkat need bedding,, and they are valuable for mulching shrubbery and Dowering pints. Where they are used tor this purpose they should be covered with brush and weighted down, so that they will not blow away during the winter. These leaves a * also good material for scratching litter in the poultry house, and they may first.b« used tor this n*r»oae and tit* Weed seed will sprout after fall plowing, and the weeds will be destroyed by the rigors of winter. The corn crib can be made rat and mice proof by lining It with smallmesh chicken wire. Don't mow the grass In your yard from habit. Conditions of the weather way make It unwise to mow at regular intervals. A large percent, of the worst weeds come from unclean seeds. It would prove a paying Investment to pay more attention to the seed and be sure they are clean. The man who expects much from his garden Is doomed to disappointment if he uses bare, unfertilized, and ofttlmes miserably poor soil, aa a foundation. erwards removed and used for mulching garden plants. There Is 'no better material than forest leaves to use In the compost heap to make good soil for potting plants or for general garden work where the best soil is required. After they have been used in tbe poultry house or as bedding material they are still more valuable. Leaves not only add considerable available plant food to the soil when used as a fertilizer, but they readily decompose to form humus. Farms In United States. There are a great many little Jobs that require one'* attention" before winter sets in, some of which are absolutely essential, but more of them in the nature of aids to spring work or comforts to stock or family, and it la these last that are apt to be neglected. Evergreens, such as the arbor vltaa, require less labor in preparation or training and maintenance than deciduous plants, as most of then) naturally assume a pyramidal form, and good hedges can easily be produced.

But his majesty, as a matter of fact, won't oat off till this evening. Thaa the plot hatched against him may take effect on this train, yon see. and onr gracious sovereign will be saved."

ONLY T w o More Days of JACKSON'S Price Gutting T h i s S t o c k M u s t be R e d u c e d Every.Article Sold at a Seduction Creamery Closed. The Pinokney Creamery Co. that has been in operation here the past six months, under the management of Sari Day, cJomd its doors Tuesday morning a/ter taking in nearly 10,000 pound a ot milk Monday. For some time the company has not met its payment* on pay day bat the patrons, willing to help The company, continued to send their milk and cream and the haulers to draw it expecting to net their pay any day. Monday each were sent or given a circular stating that they expected to go into the bands ct the receiver and if taey { desired to continue with them that I all would, in the process of time, receive their back pay AS well as the present, but it wonld be three weeks before they could get any, and then it wonld come regularly every other week. If they did not want to do this of course there was but one thing to do, and that was to close the plant, and then they would probably not receive anything. The farmers haw ever had lived long enough on prsttises and Tuesday there was no milk and the pi am t shut down. Mr. Day or any member of the firm did not make an appearance Tuesday although many of the farmers came to town to talk the matter over with him. Frank Day returned Tuesday night and was here as we go to press. The Ifcrge amonnt of milk and cream that came in Monday and the cream from Saturdays milk was all made into bntter sometime during the night Monday and no butter was on hand Tuesday and what beeame of it is a mystery. The creamery has been a good thing for the village and yioinity daring the season and there are many rumors as to why it did not pay oat and it may be unraveled in time. The company have been paying the highest prices tor milk to meet the prices advanced by the condensed factory at Howell, and considerable poor milk having been received was given as reasons by Mr. Day, When the plant was put in several business men and farmers loaned the company money, |1,200, taking security on the equipment. These as well as the farmers who have delivered the milk and the haulers, will be losers. There is, we understand, due the haulers froir $100 to $800 each. Coming as it does at Christmas time it is a bard blow to all and a bard one on the village. Of course the matter is not settled yet and just what will be done is hard to say at this time. We understand tba) a party was in town Tuesday looking towards establishing a skimming station here but we conld tearn nothing definite. It would seem as if now that the plant is here that some way conld be planned to keep it in operation. In some states 9och creameries are established in nearly every village by the business men and farmers and prove money makers, why cannot that be done here? "T^T" wmimmmrmm i?

The commander of a revenue cutter reports to the treasury department that he has investigated Bogoslof Island, the frequent changes in which have been of much scientific interest, and that he steamed all around the island, taking soundings the entire way and finding bottom only at one place, where the lead touched at a depth of 45 fathoms. Steam Jets arise from a lake in the center of the island, and the conclusion is that the Island is the summit, of a volcano and that the lake is the crater. Bogoslof island has perpetrated some curious Btunts from time to time, and volcanic origin seems to explain them. Uncle Sam came Into possession of many interesting things when he acquired Alaska. M: 'ml The news that the old mining camp of Virginia City, Nev.p is sinking into the deep canyon along the side of wnlch it was built indicates an inglorious end for a town which once attained some prominence. Virginia City grew out of the opening of the Comstock lode, and the Comstock lode formerly was among the greatest silver producers in the world. Considerable gold was also found there. At one time the lode yielded wealth at the rate of $10,000,000 annually, and It made great fortunes for the "bonanza" owners. Altogether, between $300,000,- 000 and $400,000,000 in gold and silver was taken from the mines. ft** If, as is intimated, It turns out that the assassination of Prince Ito, the Japanese statesman, was the result of a far-reaching plot in Korea, the situation in that country may become most serious. Reports from Seoul, the Korean capital, go to show that te many of the people the killing of Ito was "not unpleasing." This attitude suggests greater hostility to Japan and representatives of Japanese power than had been suspected in man} quarters. In fact, there appears to b€ dangerous disaffection throughout the country, and an outbreak would not be surprising. , , J ^ ' ••'• • V &i>'* • ^. ft The United States is not the only country in which persons gratify their curiosity or morbid taste by crowding into courtrooms when sensational cases are in progress. Even prance, where good .taste is presumed to be strongly in evidence if not predominant, has a fair share of those whe show similar Inclinations, the opening of the Steinhetl murder trial In Paris being an illustration; When 25,000 persons apply for' admission to a courtroom and when $200 is offered for a place in line "the limit" would seem to have been reached. £* College professors calculate that if the birth-rate decrease continues for 150 years th*re wilt be no births at all by 2060 A. b.

The state board of auditors decided to borrow $100,000 more, preferring to incur that size obligation in preference to securing $25,000 at a time, as has been done heretofore since the pinch In the state treasury made itself felt. This will make a total of $175,000 borrowed, at 3 per cent. Of the $100,000 loan. $25,000 will go for salaries and $75,000 to meet bills that have accumulated since July. It is expected that this will be the last loan. The loans will be repaid with tax money, which will soon begin to come in. Girl Accuses Father and Brothers. One of the most revolting cases ever started in the courts of Ingham county was heard at Leslie in justice\ court in a preliminary examination of Charles Prederickson, aged 61; George, aged 33, and Michael, aged 23. The three men are charged with a statutory offense and have demanded a further examination, which will be given them. Lucy Frederickson, aged 16, is about to become* a mother. Charles, the oldest of the trio, is her father, Jind the other two men are her brothers. The authorities have in their possession confessions signed by the trio. The mother of the girl is dead. End Season on Lakes Earlier, Loss of life and property in the past three weeks breaks all records. Fortunes have been lost with the -| sinking of ships and scores of human lives have been sacrificed. This chapter of accidents has led to a \ movement to bring the close of the season of navigation earlier. During the winter it is pr6bable the matter will be widely discussed by vesselmen and some action taken. $12,000 for Tax Title Sharka The state treasurer's department announces that it has about $12,000 refund money awaiting the claim of state tax title dealers. The dealers, it is said, have, believed that because of the financial embarrassment of the state, their money could not be secured at this time, but the cash is there waiting for them Michigan Farm Lands In Demand.

" # * d a n * the monarch. f e**°u* * m ?f * h e ^ explorations. Leopold first met the baroness at 08tend. Following her acquaintance with the king she was the mother of two children, Lucien, the duke of Tervkeren, now aged 5 years, who waa.born at Villefranche, and Phil- Hppe, count of Raven stein, who was horn at Balincourt three years ago.' Tolling bells and booming cannon announced the death of King Leopold. Half-masted flags of red, yellow and black fly from the public buildings. An Intimate friend of Prince Albert, the new Belgian king, told the Matin's Brussels correspondent that the new kind's anibit ion would be to be usefuf'"£o' th~e worklngman. He is, ifl the good sense of»Lhe. word, a Socialist. He'is- aHrteep^tudent on- social questions and will astonish the world, according to' the correspondent, with modern tolerance. "Albert, will be king of a republican monarchy," said the Matin's informant, I Ift^1 c t ow» a n d S P "or, if you prefer, president of a ]" ahtep ami lamb monarchial republic." All Belgium is puzzled over the mysterious disappearance of the immense fortune of King Leopold, the dead ruler of Belgium. In his will the monarch declares he possessed only $3,000,000, which jie left to his three daughters. This 'sum is known for a fact to be tremendously below the mark. For years King Leopold has been drawing an income of $6,- 000,00*0 yearly from his Congo investment. In addition he owned vast landed estates in France. England and other European countries. The king had keen business instincts and was known, as a shrewd inrestor. On a conservative estimate he must have possessed close upon $30,000,000 before his death. The view generally accepted Is that the king, after his secret marriage with the baroness at San Remo,, Italy, made a. private will enriching his favorite tfnd her children*, Ltfefen. aged 5, upon whom he conferred the title of duke of ^evokeTeftVhnd Phil-' ippe, aged Z, who bears the title of j count of Rarensteln. -'• Senator Winer, the king's confidential legal, adviaet, admits that Leopold turned over, a considerable po*j| tlon pf hie vast hoards to, the Baron-1 created a stock company of "ills es tates In order to forestall a possible raid upon them by the princesses or the creditors; hers of my household, -T, forbid any-( i/rae to attend my fimefai.

Attorneys-at-Law. Washington, D. C. Happenings of January The first month in the year has always been a fateful one In English history, but it began most specially to be recognized as such during the reign of Charles I. It was on January 4, 1642, that the attempt was made to arrest the five members. On the tenth of the month, three years later, Archbishop Laud, was beheaded, and January 30, 1649. saw the king's own head laid upon the block. There is probably no act of parliament which has ever been the cause of such amazing dissensions and discord as that which brought about the union between Great Britain and Ireland. This came into force upon Jan* uary 1, 1801. It waa in the same month that Richard Trevithick, the Cornish Inventor, perfected the first steam locomotive which ever moved upon an English road. The great William Pitt, the most able prime minister who ever controlled the destinies of the kingdom, came into office at Christmas, 1783, and died in January, 1806. His great rival. Charles James Fox, born in Jan* uary, 1749, only survived Pitt six months. One of the greatest boons that a nation ever received from its govern* ment was conferred upon Great Britain on January 1, 1840—namely, penny postage. Adhesive stamps had been invented by Mr. James Chalmers of Dundee, six years previously, and these superseded Mulready's envelope later in the same year. January has for a long time past V^feniW a very notable month in the hriffVtf of the British royal family. On Ijsjpary 26, 1868, the Princess Royal waa married to Prince Frederick William of Prussia. The Oerman kaiaer was born in January, 1£5*. Prince Henrjuof 8attenberg*s death occurred on January 20,18M. and UM duke of Teck's life came to an end on the twenty-first of the month, 1900. One year later, on January 21,1101, came the end'of the niosi'famous reign in English or any other history. Queen Victoria died at 6:30 on the fateful evening. In northern latitudes no nation fights in winter if It can possibly be avoided, and yet January haa seen some of the toughest struggles of modern war. January, 1871, holds the record for fierce fighting. During that month there were no fewer than six terrific- battles between the French and the Germans. The last waa Gen. Trochu's grand sortie from Paris, which ended in his defeat and in the extinction of the last hopes of Paris and her citizens. A Resolution 3 for C ] New Year's The noblest resolution that any citizen could make for the new year would be the resolution to live more faithfully by the golden rule, that sublime principle of conduct for this world and for all worlds. Failure to live by this law causes the chief sorrows and collisions among men, says Edwin Markham in Success. Let each earnest man search into his words and ways, determined to find the special manner in which he breaks the golden law—his special habit that works Injustice or unhapplness in his shop, his office, his borne, his city. He will find, perhaps, that in the shop he is in the habit of mis* placing tools, and this hinders the work of his comrades; that m the office he is in the habit of being late In keeping appointments, and thus steals other people's time; that in the club he la in the habit of belittling worthy competitors* and thus Joint the gang of thieves who steal reputations; that in the home he is in the habit of monopolising the conversation, and thus fails to draw out the powers of others; that in the city he is In the habit of spitting on the sidewalk, and thua spoils the comfort of hit townsmen; that in business he is in the habit of misrepresenting but goods, and thus roba under the cover of custom.

Circumstances compelled Marjorie Hollis to earn her living, and against these circumstances her aristocratic and artistic soul waged constant rebellion. Her family and' her acquaintances generally regarded her as a spoiled child, troubled with extravagant tastes and a lack of practical sense. On her side, she felt that she was not understood nor properly appreciated— until she met Carter Dillington. Like herself, Mr. Dillington was poor and had literary aspirations, aad Marjorie felt that in him she had at last found a sympathetic fellow-mortal. He accepted special invitations to the house, but rarely called of his own accord, appearing content to ride home with her in the evening. He was excessively reserved—that was one of his peculiarities—so that notwithstanding the increasing familiarity of the acquaintanceship, Marjorie knew no more of his personal affairs at the end of nine months than she did during the first week. There was one other subject on which he was equally reticent, and that was the discussion regarding the rhyme for "Rachel." The remarkable offer in connection with this matter was a subject of unending curiosity and discussion in literary circles; but Carter Dillington pointedly avoided every allusion to It. To Marjorie, on the contrary, it was one of alluring Interest. She hesitated a long time before venturing to speak to Mr. Dillington about it. His peculiar aversion to the whole matter embarrassed her. The mere mention of the name "Rachel" disturbed him, and her occasional efforts to lead the conversation around to the subject were promptly frustrated. Finally, however, Bhe decided to appeal to him for help. Only one more week remained, and ahe beheld her dreams of wealth fading into the dull reality of drudgery. So, as he waa about to take his departure after a short call on Christmas eve, she said suddenly: "If a person were to find a rhyme for 'Rachel' it would make him famous, wouldn't it?" "I suppose it would," he answered dryly. "And It would make him rich?* "Oh, yes." Then in the same breath he abruptly changed the conversation. "Perhaps. Miss HotHs, it may interest you to know that I expect in the next week or two to come into possession of a small fortune, and I hope then to be married;" and holding out hit hand he bj&de Marjorie good night "Good night." ahe responded mechanically; and aa the door closed she staggered into the parlor, and. throwing herself upon the sofa, burst into a torrent of passionate tears. Suddenly her sobbings ceased. She sat up, bewildered, startled, in the midst of the turmoil of her troubled spirit there had buret upon her-— without warning, without thought*—a rhyme for "Rachel!" jDeciOlJtft? 17 she walked into- the- of- As* ff f-ftti-wy gtfBbrdtan and Qblttly announced; > those ^ w ° J sjotlemen that the bad come to claim the 1250, 000 for a rhyme for "Rachel." .Bos* a toonwmt the two men stared at her without uttering a sound. Mr. Dunbnry was the first to find hit voice. "Impossible!" he ejaculated. Then noUcinfc the sudden flush -upon the girl's face be checked htm* self. "Pardon me. my dear young lady! I did not mean to doubt your word; but you have tatoaiahed us beyond measure. Let me explain." and he placed his chair beside hert> "The extraordinary offer to which you have respundod waa made in compliance with the will of our lata client. Mr. Benjamin. F.,.*(prto% He was/ n txlJIe eccentric* ajod one of bit hobble* waa writing poetry. He took a great Cancy ta * uepne* of hit a*d spared no money to bare the boy well educftted. The old gentleman himself bad a very limited education, and he was determined that bis nephew should not be handicapped ta be had been., We{l, Just about the time the boy got through college the old gentleman struck a snag in this poem of bit about Fedora Lilian- Hlldegarde et al., and he called upon big nephew to help him out with a rhyme for 'Rachel/ The young man informed him that there waa no sucb rhyme, but hia uncle refused to believe it. He insisted that aa the lad had bad a college education he could find a rhyme if be chose. Well, the upshot of It was that the old gentleman took it into his Jhend that his nephew was obstinate and ungrateful, and he caat him off. A short time before he died, however, he finally concluded that perhapa there really was no rhyme for 'Rachel,' and he decided to reinstate hia nephew in his will; but with this proviso: That a rhyme should first be advertised for and that should any person produce such a rhyme within a year, then the money should go to such person, instead of the nephew. "As the executors, we, of course, followed the provisions of the will, but we were definitely satisfied there was no such rhyme. And yet you say you have found one. I am free to say it seems incredible, incredible. Still, at the same time, the offer is a bona fide one and will be carried out to the letter if your rhyme proves to be a legitimate one. it will certainly prove a most astonishing revelation to us and —to the nephew, Carter Dillington." Marjorie felt that ahe was about to faint. "May I have Just a moment to think?" she asked faintly. "Certainly, certainly! I did not mean to hurry you. Of course, I understand, you feel a trifle agitated; but take your time, and you'll recall the rhyme in a minute or two." Several moments passed in silence. Then Marjorie arose. She faced the two lawyers, and with a tremor in her voice that she struggled bravely to subdue, she said slowly: "I have not forgotten the rhyme; but—but I have decided not to submit it." It was New Year's day when Marjorie again saw Carter Dillington. He called late In the afternoon. Why had he come? she asked herself. Was it to torment her? To cause her wounded heart to bleed afresh? He appeared not to heed her constrained manner, nor the quick flushes that reddened her cheeks. "Marjorie," he said suddenly, with an impulsiveness and a familiarity he had never before manifested; "you have wished me a happy New Year. Do you know that it is you alone who can make the year happy for me— supremely happy? I did not dare express my feelings before I was absolutely sure that I could offer you the comforts and the pleasures you deserve. Now, I am Independent— wealthy; and you, Marjorie, will you share my fortune with me?" It was late ere the lovers were ready to part. "Is it any wonder," he was saying, as he llngerlngly prepared to leave, "that I avoided the subject of my uncle's outlandish offer? Supposing that by some possibility there had been a rhyme for 'Rachel;' supposing some one had succeeded in finding it! But thank fortune, dear, there is none!" "Yes, but there Is a rhyme for 'Rachel,' " she answered softly, casting down her eyes to bide her audd>n emotion. "Would you llke>to hear It? Let us sit down here—on the sofa, and I will tell It to you." She waited a moment after they were seated, and then in a half tremulous whisper she recited the following lines: "A fitting rhyme haa long; been found For each and all of these— Fedora. Lilian, Grace, Lorain And HlMewarde, Louise; And In these names themselves we and The hidden rhyme for Rachel; For, )o, the letters at these names Are F. L., Q. L.. H. L."

Continual disparagement breaks the boy's spirit, and1;-there is nothing more inspiring, hoth4ng more refreshing' In this world than the broad, courageous, undismayed hopefulness of a manly boy. Take him into your confidence early. Let him know what you are going to 4)latat in the ten acre field, and how you propose to make the upland fields pay. Don't snub him. The man ' who snubs a bpy 1B uuworthy to be the father of a son. Let him have the money he earns. Ton would have to, pay the hired man .for taking care of the calves and the iiolts; why not remunerate your boy? Do not disgust him with farming in the beginning by telling him that he does not need anything but his board and clothes now, because he will have "it all" when you are gone. Five dollars when a boy is ten years old is more to him than five thousand will be when you are dead and gone and he has the farm. Do not starve your family for the sake of taking the best of everything to the market A broad and generous soul cannot develop in a starved body. Live in just as good a house as you can own, free from mortgage. Have a pleasant, sunny living room with books and papers and music. Encourage your'Hoy to invite his friends there, and jouraelf g^eet them cordially when they, come.

She never would forget it, and would be terrified for many a night to come. Please don't go out the way you come in. just go right out the front door." "I'll do that, lady," said the burglar, his voice somewhat broken. "Only remember now, be square, don't come after me. I'll not take that little money you have. I'm taking a big chance, but I won't frighten the baby; not for the world." The burglar made hiB way through Rations for Cow. Good early cut hay and corn ensilage should form the basis upon which we figure the rattans for the dairy cows during the winter. This ma/ consist of good clover, alfalfa or mixed hay and ensilage from well matured corn. It is a poor system of winter feeding that does not provide an abundance of good, palatable rough- , age.

The Burglsr Prowled About the Room. the parlor and departed out the front door, which he gently closed behind him. "The man's face was masked," said Mrs. Huber, holding little Marie in her arms, "but from his voice I should say he was a young man.

Our Canadian neighbors to the north are again rejoicing over an sbimdsnt harvest, and .reforia from tvftiWa sources go to show that the- total****)* of IMa will be far above that of any other year;. .. It is estimated that »100,000,000 will thla year go Into the pockets of the Western farmers from wheat alone,, another IW.QOO.OOO from oats and barley, while return* frqm other crops and from atock. will add .940? 000,000 more. Is It any wonder then that the farmers of , the Canadian Weat axe' happy? > Thousands of American farmers have settled in the above mentioned provinces during the past year; man who know the West and its possibilities, and who alao.know perhaps better than any other people, the best methods for profitable farming. President Taft said recently in speaking of Canada: "We have, been going ahead so rap- Idly in our own country that our heads have been somewhat swelled with the Idea that we are carrying on our shoulders all the progress there is in the world. We have not been conscious that there is on the north a young country and a young nation that is looking forward, as It well may, to a great national future. They have 7,000,000 people, but the country is still hardly scratched." Jas. J. Hill speaking before the Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few days ago said: "I go back for S3 years, when I came West from Canada. At that, time Canada had no North/West. A young boy or man who desired to carve his own way had to cross the ltne, and to-day it may surprise you—one out of every five children born In Canada lives In the United States. Now you are playing the return match, and the North-West is getting people from the United States very rapidly. We brought 100 land-seekers, mainly from Iowa and Southern Minnesota, last night out of St. Paul, going to the North-West.. Now, these people have all the way from five, ten to twenty , thousand dollars each, and they will. make as much progress on the land in one year as any one man coming from the Continent of Europe can make, doing the best he can, in ten, fifteen, or twenty years." It is evident from the > welcome given American settlers in Canada that the Canadian people appreciate them. Writing from Southern Alberta recently an American farmer says: — "We are giving them some new ideas about being good farmers, and they are giving us some new ideas about being good citizens. They have a law against taking liquor into the Indian Reservation. One of our fellows was caught on a reservation with a bottle on him, and it cost him 150. One of the Canadian Mounted Potfce found him, and let me tell you, they find everyone who tries to go up against the laws of the country. "On Saturday night every bar-room is closed, at exactly 7 o'clock. Why? Because it is the law, and it's the Bame with every other law. There Isn't a bad man in the whole district and a woman can come home from town to the farm at midnight if she wants to, alone. That's Canada!* idea how to run a frontier; they have certainly taught us a lot "On the other hand, we are running their farms for them better than any other class of farmers. I guess I can say this without boasting, and the Caandian* appreciate us. We turn out to celebrate Dominion Day; they are glad to have us help to farm the country; they know how to govern; we know how to work." Another farmer, from Minnesota, who settled in Central Saskatchewan some years ago, has the following to aay about the country:-— "My wife and I have done well enough since we came from the States; we can live anyway. Ww came in the spring of 1901 with the first carload of settlers' effects unloaded in these parts and built the first shanty between Saskatoon and Lumsden, We brought with our car of settlers' effects the sum of $1800 in cash, to-day we are worth $40,000. We 'proved up' one of the finest farms la Western Canada and bought 320 acres at $8 par acre. We took good crops off the land fot four years, ai the end of which w* had 88000 worth of improvements in the way of buildings, etc., and had planted three aero* of trees. Two years ago w* got such a good oflar' that we sold our land at 846 per acre. yroai the above you will see that wt have np{ done badly, since oar at> neaota. with a number .of other wall ^^^¾ «w«r n**?4 ?!

You can get your food cheaper and the climate is better for the purpose. We have a better market/but your market will improve faster than your farmers will produce the supplies. Winter wheajt can be grown in one-half of the country through which I have passed, and alfalfa and one of the varieties of" clover In three-fourths of it The farmers do not believe this, but it is true." keeping pace with wheat production, the growth of railways has been quite as wonderful, and the whole country from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains will soon be a net-work of trunk and branch lines. Three great transcontinental lines are pushing construction in every direction, and at each siding the grain elevator is to be found. Manitoba being the first settled province, has now an elevator capacity of upwards of 25,000,000 bushels, Saskatchewan 20,000,00, and Alberta about 7,000,000, while the capacity of elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes, Is upwards of 20^009,000 more. Within ihe provinces of Manitoba,. Saskatchewan and, Alberta there are flour and oatmeal mills with a combined capacity of 26.0(H) barrels per day, and situated along some famous water powers vin New Ontario, there are larger mills than will be found anywhere In the Prairie Provinces. Last year the wheat crop totaled over 100.000.QOO bushels. This year the crop wijl yield 30.000,000 more. A recent sumsnary shows that on the 1st of January, 1909, the surveyed Hands of the'three western provinces, totaled 134.auD,00(L,acrea, at which about 32,- 000,000 have been given as subsidies to railways,, 11,000,000 disposed of in other ways and 38,000,00^ given by the Canadian Government as free homesteads, being 236,000 homesteads of 160 acres each. Of this enormous territory, there is probably ,und«r crop at the present ,yjo>e less than U,000,- 000 acres; whjtt t ^ results will be when wide awlke tattlers have taken advantage of Canada's offer and are cultivating the fertile prairie lands* one can scarcely imagiae. it , . , .J^rhap* 8o. • - "Your wife doeS lot appear to be satisfied."

Ot eotxfw ] u was/; an old bachelor who sai4 ihat love was batched in an incdhator and raised Tn j m ^ s a a * asyluin. .-^ r- e man who was also a count—a reavl o f ^1 °¾ a°d will make all the women count—did her the honor to make a formal declaration of his devotion. She thought this very amusing and told her husband about it. "Don't be alarmed," she said. "You know., that I am an honest Woman, but I must have some amusement and. really, I find this count and his compliments quite entertaining." Whereupon Pierre Dubrenll's dull suffering assumed a more acute form. The thought of this titled ass braying his., equivocal compliments into Marthe's ears almost choked him. Often when he met the fellow in so- among dramatists of the first rank laugh." But it turned out not to be a farce nor even a comedy. On the contrary, it was a serious drama which dealt with emotions capable of causing ithe keenest suffering of which the human heart is susceptible. ' It-waked up the jaded public arid stirred it to enthusiasm. Its Buccess was immense, triumphal, without precedent. It stood revealed as a masterpiece which was to have a run of W0 nights and give its author a place clety he, was tempted to fall upon him.and,throstle hlrn. The count deigned to interest himself in Pierre and patronized him. "Write a play, write a play, my young friend," he said. "I will recommend it and see that it is produced. Talent? The. devil! A writer, with such a wife has talent enough." Marthe sang the same song in a different key. "Oh. Pierre!" she said. "Why can't you write a play that will make a sensation? A strong,, realistic, psychological thing—a problem play? Surely you can And material enough." One summer night at the seashore, while Marthe, weary with much dancing, was sleeping soundly. Pierre sat brooding at his desk The sum and substance of hip reflections,,as usual, was that Marthe's former love for him had evaporated into thin air and that his fife was a wreck "Pshawf' Why go over it all again?" he said, finally. "But I can't sleep, so I may as Well try to write." And he did write. Not having any definite purpose, he allowed his pen to transcribe' the thoughts that had been tormenting him. So what he wrote was dreary enough, a tissue of remembered joys and present rowB. Then characters began to grow and take shape under his pen—Qrst himself, clearly recognizable, then Marthe, and finally the count, his contemptible but hated rival. And so he worked all night on this drama of real life and real emotions. "What! Up so early?** Marthe exclaimed as she awoke at dawn. "What In the world are you working at so hard?" "Oh, nothing," he said, coldly: "Nothing of any account, at least. Biow could it b e r Every night after this, when Marthe was asleep, he rose silently, stole to his desk like a thief in the night and worked diligently and enthusiastically at his task. And this time he felt sure .that the task would be accomplished and that the result would be food. In due time they returned to Paris, Piefre with regret, but Marthe with delight for. had not the count her faithful adorer, promised her a series of entertainments to which tout Paris should come to do her homage? •<We Win launch 'yonf husband on the sea of fame," he said in his most patronising manner.

The first words of the play gave her a little shock of surprise. Why, this was an old story to her! It seemed like a faithful transcript of the memories of her bridehood, of her vanished happiness. If the first act was idyllic, the second was full of action. Then the storm burst and it added to Marthe's amazement, for it recalled vividly the first storms of her matrimonial voyage. Evidently Pierre had put his own story upon the stage. This was Cleveland interesting, but—what would the outcome be? Marthe had long been so estranged from her husband, so indifferent to his thoughts and feelings, that she was totally unable to forecast his development of the theme. The third act was a cold, pitiless, masterly analysis of the torture of the husband vacillating between forced resignation and unavailing love and of the Character of the wife, frivolous, careless and cynical. Marthe listened and her heart stood still. Every word waa a stab. s o r "4wa8 it possible that Pierre had suffered like this—and through her? For now there could be no doubt. It was his life and hers that she had -seen enacted. Yet he had never uttered a word of complaint! -•'•"• But oh! how terrible a revenge he had taken!

There was no doubt whatever about bis fasocial coudirioc. it was 2 cents lo bAod-lltenUly In band, for be was looking at the copper coins lugubriously* remembering at tae aama time tnat tfear* was not even a croat of bread in tt» S W M for alt wife and two Uttie children. He bad takan a onair oa tne porcb of U» Sandwich bote! tMcaoat Chairs there were tree and be didn't belong anywhera, Bam waa a miner and bad worked In many miasm. He bad been caugnt in a labor storm with the result of loss of employment Bis savings were all gon* toere waa no proapect of work whore be waa, and he bad no means of taking bimaeil and bis family anywhere else. Two men were sitting at tbe other end of tbe porcb talking together excitedly, tbougb in a low tone. Calkins board the word "strike" and, supposing It referred to labor mattors in which be was interested, bo pricked up bis ears and soon dlscoTered tnat they referred to a strike of paying ore in some mine the name of which they did not mention. One of tbe men took a package from bis pocket—tbe wrapper was a piece of newspaper—and. unrolling it, showed bis companion specimens of ore. Calkins caogbt tbe words "six hundred to the ton." This told him that the specimens mentioned assayed to produce this amount out of a ton of ore. After peaelng the samples back and forth for awhile, tbey were rolled again In tbe bit of newspaper, and U?e man woo bad produced taem put tnem agaiajty bis pocket Boon after both men arose and went away. Calkins would nave gone away, too. If be bad bad any place to go. But be hadn't Being rest leas, be got up and walked over to the other end of the porcb. in a chair in which one of tbe men had been sitting be noticed • little dark lamp about the size of a hickory nut Taking It up. be looked at it scratinudngly. **lf tbe Constant veto hadn't run out" be remarked to himself, "I'd swear the chunk came out of ft." It was a brownish quartz and full of gold. Calkins bad worked In tbe Constant mine, wbicb bad proved inconstant. While there be had taken out just such ore as this. Bat be had seen the vein grow narrower and narrower till it was nothing more than a crack. The mine, after a search for a reopening ot tbe vein, bad been abandoned, and Calkins bad gone to work elsewhere. Personally be believed that if tbe vein were followed deep enough it might be found to reopen. But the stockholders were discouraged and would not stand assessment. 8uddenly It occurred to Calkins that tbe vein had been followed and paying ore again struck. Then came tbe quick thought, "Can I, with only 2 cents ID the world, profit by what 1 suspect if it Is true?" He went into tbe hotel, where a printed list of quotations of mining stocks was banging on the wall, and glanced at sales of Constant. There were sales at 6 cents a share. Tbe stock bad recently stood at 4 cents. Then Calkins walked up tbe street to tbe office of a man of the name of Fisher, whom be knew held some of tbe shares. "I've got some Information," said the miner. "Do you want it or shall i take it elsewhere?" "I'm your man." -What'll you giver •Ten per cent of tbe profit** -Make it 20 and I'll out with It" " A l l right, 20 it is." Calkins produced bis chunk of ore and told Plsher tbat It had come out of the Constant mine. Fisher asked bow he knew i t but Calkins declined to satisfy him. He felt sure that if his man knew be was guessing tbe transaction would end then and there. Fisher had that morning sold part of bis stock at 6 cents a share. He sent la an order to buy it back and 10,000 shares more at the market price. He got 1,000 at 6, 2,000 at 6½ and the balance at figures rising by fractions till tbe price paid was 7½ cents. The sales were larger than for many months, but not considerable. Ca7aln« wished fo ask Plsber for a little money In advance to buy a supper for his family, but dared not lest he should lead him in s n s r w t rhst the whole nfl'uir ivus simply n fjaun1 fo bout him out of a paltry sum. So greiic wns his suspense that he preferred to keep away f r o m home. B e was banging between heaven and hell. The next morning when be turned out of nti ouilmtisi* where be bad slept he spent hl^ 2 rents for a paper. There iu big headline* he see aouncement that tbe Constant The Time it now as there are only a few mora days before Xmas The Place to buy your Christmas Groceries, Candies, Cigars, etc., is of Raisin* Currants) 20c Coffee 23c Coffee 7 c 7 c 17a 22c Specials for This Week j .

Before noon Fisher gave his informant a | check for $12,000. Fortune had favored the man whose capital was but 2 cents. Those In tbe j.oecret had bought up what stock tbey , wanted at private sale, knowing that If they all went into the exchange together they would advance the price. When Calkins went home loaded with good things he found his wife crying, bis children clamoring for something to eat. His bankbook dried bis wife's tears, and bis bundles stop* ! ped his children's clamor. She Was Willing.

OL. xx m. PINOKyEY, LIVINQ8TON CO,, MICH., THURSDAY, DECEMBER a o ' T w / ^ l S S O n t h e T h r e s h o l d . Saturday is tbe first day of January 1910. We art), so to speak, on the threshold ot a.iuw and untried season of time. While the year 1909 is still fresh in our memories, still its days are past and Rone, and every day taken us farther and fai ti_er away from the unreoallable past. What has the last year meant to us? To many it, has brought joy and gladness while to others not hint? bat oi bow they have traveled here below. First, Jet us ask, "How Jong have we Jived?" then following that "What have we accomplished?" "What has tbe new year in store lor us? ' "How will its events and cireumatanees effect our lives?" These are serious questions that we will be called upon to de cide this year and we may never have another chancse to change our decision in this life. May God help us to weigh every question carefully and prayerfully and to then decide for tbe LOCALNfcWS. sorrow But, bright or shaded, it has ' right. passed into the recesses of an endless of eternity. But what of last year's privileges and opportunities? Did we use them to the best advantage? Did we improye every chance to draw near to God and our fellow man? Are we happier and better, and is the world better for our having lived through as a thousand years tbe year of 1909? Today is a good time for us to look into the past and note both oar suecesses and our failures that the lessons j Saturday, Christmas day, 1909. at teamed may not lie wholy lost. If | high noon, occured tbe marriage of we bave succeeded in any particular Miss Grace Pool and Mr. Aubrey Gilway in doing good then that part of chnst at tbe home of the bride's mothour life should be made a model for er, Mrs. Elmer Book in the presence Yes, we stand on tbe threshold another year. Wbat this court ol mystery contains tor us we do uot know, nor would we if we could. Let us do our best (for nothing but the best will count in tbe end) and leave the results with Him to whom a thousand years are as one day and one day C h r i s t m a s W e d d i n g . every hour ot thj future life. The innocent mirth, the useful effort should be multiplied a hundredfold in tbe days to come. It we bave failed in anything let us strive to profit by that failure by do iiiK btittei. Do we know wherein we were tempted in tbe past? Let us shun tbe places of that temptation and of a large number of relatives and friends. The rooms were beautifully decorated « ith Christmas bells and holly. Rev E. W. Exelby performed the ceremony using the Methodist Episcopal ring service. Tbe bride was attended by Miss Hansine Larsen and the groom by Thomas Pool, brother help tbe Lord to answer our prayer, of tbe bride, and a sister, Miss Gladys "Lead us i.ot into temptation." Have |Pool, aeted as ring hearer, we undented uny duty, let us today The young couple were tie recipresolve to preform every duty that | ients of many beautiful and useful comes to us. Whatever the old year has brought for us, let us profit by it. What haa the old year brought you, fri«nd? Joy and ove and ew«etue8s? Then poan them alonK to others, Mend, Tbat they to Imperfect Hvtis may lend A little of your completeness; For hearts should be brlmmlm? with hop* and cheer And niv« «»<> place to grief or fear, When tin- tflad now year ia dawning. What tins the old year brought yon, friend* HittemeHfl, toare and sorrow? Then lot them die with the old year, friend, Or safe from the Right of the work' defend, That none your gloom may borrow; Kor heart#«hoiiId be brimming with hope and shifts and after a bountiful wedding dinner ielt on the evening train for a yi^it with relatives in Gratiot county.

There Its nothing novel or startling about this condltlun. It is Dot abnormal, says £bk&. Washington Herald. It Is possible to view with complacency the estimate that an additional 9100,- uOO.OOU Is carried out of this country every year by tourists and expended abroad. This is true, even in face of the fact that for months the trade balance has shown an increase of imports, both luxuries, and necessities, which may be regarded as a symptom of increased domestic trade. It must he observed that.the gold production of the United States equals its currency demand. This Is tru? of no European country. Moreover, there Is a surplus of silver output. Thus this country Is slightly ahead In the source ot the precious metals. It is not necessary for the United States to buy gold to pay its debts. This remains a fact, despite the interest payments upon our securities In the hands of foreign investors and the premiums upon foreign insurance policies. It Is the American farmer who moat contributes to ihe squaring of this account. Europe demands all the cotton, corn and wheat that this country can spare from its own cansumers, and this year the prices of those staples are high. Thus In international balances, it is always necessary to reckon with those primary sources of wealth, the farm and the mine. Count Zeppelin was quoted the other day as expressing the belief that the time when it would be possible to cross the ocean In airships was near at hand. He was represented as saying that carrying passengers and freight in this manner undoubtedly would be practical. And here comes an American scientist who completely out-Zeppelins Zeppelin. Prof. Thaddeus C. Lowe, who is at the head of the famous Mount Lowe observatory, near Pasadena, Cal.,.is convinced that it 1» .feasible to circle the globe in a dirigible balloon without, having to stop to replenish fuel or, other supplies. -ffls^Hffinswfo*,^reat that he la constructing a machine in which it is proposed to attempt this feat. A French firm ranking as the most extensive of it* kind In the world announ( «s the intention of moving its plant, or a very large part thereof, t« Paterson, N. J., Where the business of dyeing and manufacturing silks will be continued. It is not so many years ago since the idea of producing good silks in the United States was ridiculed as utterly chimerical. . To-day American silks rank well alongside the best imported goods, and now noted silkmakers are bringing their establishments herefrom other lands. Protection did it, and will do abundantly for any nation which applies the principle understanding^. A high school on Long Island has lasued an edict against hair puffs and cosmetics. With regard to the former something desperate needs to be done, as at the present rate of puff decoration, the average woman's head threatens to blot out the landscape, and it is necessary to attack the evil with the growing generation if a race of top-heavy women are not to afflict the eye of beauty-loving mankind. A New Jersey teacher has just started for Europe to collect a hundred-odd millions belonging to the estate of Sir Francis Drake. If she succeeds, it will give a fresh impetus to the overworked but hitherto unprofitable "English- clAim" industry, which, oddly enough, has fixed Its focus on English landed estates when castles' in Spain are so much better adapted for the purpose. The fact that the necessities of life have increased in price 56 per cent, in the last 13 years doesn't worry the farmer. The city man may havo pleasures that are denied to him, but when it comes to a table groaning with good things the countryman is the real epicure. a.

BURIED M E FOR SEVEN M I M E D 1 ONE QF THE FOUR ENTOMBED NECAUNEE MINERS (9 RESCUED. APPEAL LAW IS INVALID. Supreme Court Declares It Deprives Counties of Right of Self-Government— Power Taken From Supervisors. Frank Comlello was snatched from the jaws of death after a week's entombment, when rescuers found him alive la the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron company's mine a t . Negaunee. He was buried 600 feet beneath the surface a week ago, along with three other men, who were cuught by a mud slide. Peter Muudi was found dead near Condello, but the other two men have not yet been reached. Condello Is in surprisingly good condition. He was buried in a space only a few feet square, and was without food, and when he was taken out of the mine he was able to walk with only one man supporting him. The rescued miner is married and his Is a happy home today. Mourning has turned to joy, for hardly anyone supposed that any of the men could be alive. Muudi was a single man, aged about 30. The four miners were entombed when a stream of mud suddenly gushed into the sub-level where they were. It is supposed that in firing a blast a hole Mas broken through the roof. Now that one man has been found alive the rescue work continues with renewed vigor in the hope of saving the two miners still entombed. Appeal Law of 1909 Is Invalid. The supreme court handed down a decision, declaring unconstitutional the law enacted by the legsilaturelast winter, providing for appeals from the equalization between townships as fixed by the boards of supervisors. This law, known as Act No. 292, provided for the appointment of a committee of appeals in case a supervisor was not satisfied with the equalization as fixed by the board, one member to be selected by the supervisor making the appeal, one by the board and those two to choose a third member. The case decided was the one brought from Bay county and two other cases from Manistee and MUBkogon counties were also presented to the court. The validity of the law was attacked on the grounds that judicial power is conferred on the committee, that it deprives counties of the right of self-government, that the tribunal or agency created is not an impartial one and that the act as amended is incomplete and defective and not a workable law. Bay City Newspaper Man I K Trouble. In Mercy hospital, this city, occupying rooms side by side, lie Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kinney, the former suffering from a probably fatal self-inflicted wound and the other prostrated from shock. A sweet little miss of perhaps five summers, their daughter, is the third person in the one side of a domestic tragedy. Kinney, an advertising solicitor and collector for the Ray City Tribune, yesterday sent a bullet close to his heart after what he says was a quarrel with Miss Eva Ratelle, a clerk. Miss Ratelle Rays that Kinney enticed her into his home shortly before 12 o'clock yesterday and that after he tried to criminally assault her, she broke away and jumped through a window. On the wall near the hed on >which Kinney was found the words, "Xmas, Celia, Goo—" were scrawled in blood. Celia is the name of Kinney's wife. Ho had Hipped his finger In his own blood and written what he thought would be his last message to her on the wall. Becoming weak from lose of blood, he was unable to finish the word "good-bye." To Look Into Trolley Rates. The railroad commission has ordered a stay of proceedings In the matter of the freight, rate on milk charged by the D. T7. R., and will do some investigating in other states to learn how the rates run there as compared with thofl*> charged by steam roads. R. R. Darwin, of the commission's rate department, will make a tour to get this information. Meantime the D. TJ. R. Is to continue charging the old rate. Succ«eds Arthur Hill a* Regent. Gov.

"Horrible," "impossible to examine" and "very bad," are so'ie of the terms used, by Special Audi .or Walter H. 8hultus, in commenting on the condition of the books in several of the city offices, in Grand Rapids, in which he has Just completed an investigation. While there is no hint of any intentional wrongdoing, the conditions resulting from the loose methods of bookkeeping are ve**y deplorable, he says. While W. C. Durant, head of the General Motors Co., was being shaved in a Lansing hotel, a man asked for 10 minutes of his time. The request was granted and after a short conversation Durant signed his name to two papers the other presented. Then he told the barber to go ahead with the shaving. It was later learned that by affixing his signature to the papers Durant. had closed a $1,000,000 business deal, When local option petitions are presented to the board of supervisors of Van Buren county at the January session they will contain over 400 names, more than are required to have the question submitted. Advocates of local option are now making an effort to have a large number of the signers ask the county clerk to erase their names from petitions before thoy are presented to the board of supervisors and notices to this effect, are being published.

Their wheat was not a hi lb. to the bushel article hut 62 and €3 lbs. They have seen within the past year or two trunk lines of railway constructed through their district,- and throwing out branch lines to the gates of their farm. They have seen schools established in their neighbourhood and the Government contributing largely to their expense. Churches have been erected, villages have been established, towns have sprung into existence and cities are rapidly springing up, as if the magic hand of some unseen conjurer was at work. But it was not; it was the legitimate offering of the wealth of the field which made all these things come about, naturally, and easy. The prairie that three years ago was merely prairie, a patch of brown, Just waiting for the ploughman, is to-day dotted with tilled farms and splendid homes. The line of elevators with their glistening metalled fireproof sides and roofs, indicate the location of the town and the railroad. There is the glow of newness about It all, but the elevator, the splendid store buildings and the comfortable hostelries denote wealth, beyond that of the strength of the man who fashioned and built them but the wealth of the soil, which means that the newness will be followed by a steady growth. The writer recently was a passenger over the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest factor' in this great marvelous field of development. The rapidity with which towns were being built up, the farmsteads occupied, was something eren his experienced eye had not looked for. Everywhere along the line of this new transcontinental was the distinguishing mark of progress. There was not a mile of the length of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and west that did not bear token of its ability to pay tribute to the revenue of the road. Mention is made of this line, not because it Is the last in the field, but because it Is one of the best built roads on the Continent and traverses one of the best districts of an excellent country. It Is well operated, and already has gone into active service as another means of making it possible to secure more speedily transit from the grain fields to the shipping, centres. It had been the Intention in this article to have, spoken of some of the yields of grain v that have made the farmers of Central Canada contented this year, but space will not permit, so that delightful task will be taken up in another issue. In the meantime it would be well for the reader, if he is interested, to put himself in touch with some official of the Canadian Government and get information that might be useful in making a selection for a home in Central Canada, and become one of those who will be instrumental in building up a great country to the north.

Some may question the truth of this narrative, yet they will scarcely be found among those who "go down to Uio.sea In ships." To Ihem (he un fathomable mystery abiding upon the face of the great deep, the constant marvel of huge, heaving leagues of watery solitude, secret and profound, must ever remain so vast, so inexplicable, as to be beyond any interrogatory of the finite—the strange, the unexpected, lurking, everywhere. To \ others, mere landsmen, confidently imagining that all phenomena can be reduced within the contracted limits of human comprehension, I need say no more than that witnesses still survive to corroborate the principal incidents of this story, which 1 now purpose writing in the full glow of a memory still dominated by the events to be recorded. It had come to be the 5th day of April, the year 1879. I, John Stephens, aged 24, occupied a rather comfortable seat upon the shaded balcony of that large, ultra-fashionable hotel at Valparaiso, which, as travelers will recall, clings to the steep hillside overlooking both the city and harbor beneath. 1 was alone, not having as yet ordered the serving of the evening meal. A gayly attired military band was playing noisily in a near-by plaza, and ihrough.the intervening distance I was able to distinguish plainly the patriotic notes of national music. I even believed that a medley of shouting voices, mingled with an echo of cheers, was borne to me on the rising Uight wind, and I leaned above the low railing to gaze down, slightly interested, as a regiment of Chilean infantry— regulars of the line, from their white trousers and stiff hats— swept swiftly past the hotel corner in rapid time, to disappear sut.denly over the .steep crest in the direction of the q\:ay. Far away, toward the right, where Iho long row of graystone barracks was still dimly visible against the darker background of surrounding hills, was to be discerned a glimmer of steel, as squadrons of cavalry and artillery engaged in dress parade, their numerous banners flapping against the sky. At the moment these several occurrences served to awaken the merest interest, tending rather to bring home to memory a freshening knowledgesof the desperation of my situation, 1 It, can all be told in few words: I was persona non grata to the Chilean fuuhorities, with apparently every possible avenue leading forth from the country fully and effectively barred. While personally unknown to those officials, thus far successful in mask ing my movements under the guise ot a foreign gentleman of leisure temporarily resident at a fashionable hotel, I nevertheless discovered it impossible to break through the cordon of watchful government spies and shake the Chilean dust from off my feet, A rapid explanation will suffice. A native of Massachusetts, of excellent family connections, together with prospects of furure wealth, I early deyel+ jBOd the unrestrainabie propenai- .jUfjRTO a rover, and after a vain effort *T© twrn my reluctant ambition toward one of the learned professions my parents, despairing of ever doing better. finally consented to apprentice me to the sea.

Beyond doubt our concession w$a an extremely valuable one, but, as we were soon destined to discover, It came to us with an unfortunate flaw in the title, there developing a spirited controversy between the constituted authorities of Bolivia and Chile, over which country the territory Involved belonged. From harsh words In public, and the private exchange of diplomatic notes, the argument rapidly advanced to blows, and was finally referred to the arbitrament of the rifle. AB our financial interests were entirely Bolivian, and our invested money a t stake, it was no more than natural that we should openly ally ourselves w.Uh that struggling faction which the Chilean authorities promptly de nounoed as insurrectos, aud proceeded to crush. It was something of a comic opera war, resulting in two or three sklr mlshes wherein ill-equipped and poorly officered palsanos were pitted against regular troops of the line, and, as we received from Bolivia no more substantial aid than vague promises, our resistance, though rather stubborn, was soon overcome. When the final wild stampede for safety came, I discovered myself, as quartermaster gen Three Were In the Party, Apparently Father, Mother and Daughter. eral of the late revolutionary forces, still in possession of a considerable sum of money, to which no one else possessed any better claim, the unhealed scar of a Chilean bullet in my shoulder, and an exceedingly flattering chance of being snmmarily shot by drumhead court-martial if caught. All opportunity for retreat across the Bolivian frontier was already effectively blocked, but, after several weeks of excessive hardship, skulking amid the dark recesses of Indian huts In the mountains, I succeeded in stealing unobserved into Valparaiso, feeling confident that, as a sailor, I should be able to discover in that busy seaport some early opportunity for escape. This confidence was doomed to bitter disappointment. The Chilean authorities were especially desirous of apprehending me, inspired doubtless by visions of the war-chest, rumored tc be of far greater value than truth could justify. They were both alert and suspicious. The American consul was obdurate to pleading, refusing peremptorily to become involved in the affair, while no war vessel floating the flag of the United States, to which I might flee for protection, entered the harbor. Manifestly it was impossible for me to depart on any foreign vessel as a passenger without possessing the necessary papers properly vised, nor could I even ship as seaman before the mast without running the gantlet of numerous suspicious officials especially warned to apprehend me. In brief, though possessing ample means, I was a helpless prisoner, my only safety the keeping out of sight from all in authority within the narrow confines of the hotel. Sitting there in solitude that evening I thought it out all over again for the hundredth time, bitterly cursing myself for a stupid fool, yet utterly unable to discover any venturesome prospect of ultimate escape. I was trapped as securely as though the hand of actual arrest was about to be placed upon my shoulder. I might. by thus continuing, to skulk lu the dark, delay the result, yet the final ending was inevitable.

Saint Andrew! mine was a situation to chill the blood. The stars began to gleam in the black void of sky overhead, those bril- Uant, scintillatine stars of th« south 1n their unfamiliar constellations, tf*rever reminding me that I was an alien and a stranger. The city Itself", wrapped within the deepening folds of this early night BMkntie, appeared unusually noisy and demonstrative. I dimly wondered at i t There was a ceaseless blare of bands, a- medley of Inarticulate cries, mingled with the continuous disorder of shuffling feet along the roughly paved streets. I could distinguish nothing definite as I hung curiously over the balcopy rail, staring idly down, yet It was plainly evident that the entire population was astir with some Increasing excitement. Far out toward the distant mouth of the harbor a fortress battery was tiring salvos of artillery, the swift flames of discharge cleaving the black shadows in vicious spurts of yellowish red* the sullen reverberations of sound shaking the hotel casements. Some Holy Saint's day, I imagined, wondering idly wb*t special devotion of the church could be responsible for so much of uproar, so general an outpouring of enthusiasm. Still, the thought held me barely for a moment; my own personal affairs were far too serious and insistent for any wasted attention upon the saints. I turned back from the rail and glanced carelessly within. The great dining hall was already brilliantly Illuminated, and a number of the tables were surrounded by guests. It formed a cosmopolitan scene, the grouped | faces being representative of a wide variety of races, the scraps of conver- "sation which floated to me through the open window revealing half the languages of Europe, Swarthy Spaniards, volatile Frenchmen, silent sons of Albion, talkative Yaukess, bewhiskered and bespectacled Germans, blonde, rosy-cheeked Swedes, together with representatives from half a dozen South American countries, were indiscriminately mingled in sudden brotherhood. This motley, Interesting company was composed principally of men, exhibiting here and there the glitter of military uniforms, or some peculiarity of attire attesting the presence of the inevitable globe-trotter, although the majority were plainly enough commercial gentlemen, interested in various lineB of trade, and drawn into this vortex from the four corners of the globe in the wild scramble after gold. No foreign passenger steamer had entered the harbor within the past 24 hours, and 1 had already studied those faces before in the vague, shadowy hope of discovering a friend. 1 lit another cigarro, out of sheer nervousness, and sat silently watching a Chinese attendant lighting the colored lanterns suspended along the balcony roof. \ sudden rocket went swiftly and sizzling up from out the center of the groat plaza be l°w > and my. eyes followed its swift flight into the black sky until It burst into a thousand miniature stars. When 1 turnea once again, now half inclined to beckon a waiter and order the serving of dinner, a newly arrived company of guests had taken possession of the small round table just within the open window. Three were in the party, apparently father, mother and daughter, beyond question of high social class. Paterfamilias, sitting in stately dignity at what might be considered the head of the board, a broad napkin spread across his right knee, was typically aristocratic, of spare figure, stern lean face, with irongray hair, and mustaches trimmed to perfect point, his eyes, cold and emotionless, gleaming like steel points behind gold-rimmed glasses—a man CoTtsfjUJ n»veif 89, fiUCf BeMM44 to,,toe extreme that irritating hauteur poestole •WTtJ to "an JtfBfcliBbHfain of recognized family aim* position. "The lady occupying the seat opposite him, whom I naturally presumed t o be t i l s wH«, was fleshy enough to own an ample double chin, which drooped to a vaster expanse below; most exp*<*alvely gowned, her fingers laden with diamonds, and a lorgnette at her eye, through which Bhe deliberately surveyed the assembled company. H e r evident attempt a t duplicating the calm h a u t t o n of her emotionless companion was nevertheless somewhat of a counterfeit, as it failed to conceal wholly a blight twiukle of amusement curving the corners of her mouth, and a certain slight vulgar uneasiness of manner. His ideal was evidently that of a marble statue, cold, immaculate, his slightest movement revealing the frigidity of one born to the purple, while my lady retained some semblance to flesh and blood, although well veneered by long social artifice. He was nature, while she had evidently been developed by .skill; yet the matron, to my thinking, proved far the more interesting specimen of the two. I must confess, however, wasting precious little attention upon either, for niy eyes early rested upon the younger woman seated between the two, and hence directly confronting me. I will not say I never saw a fairer picture of womanhood just when the lovely flower becomes a blossom fully blown, yet assuredly none other ever possessed for mo the same indefinable fascination, the same ineffable charm. Twenty-two, possibly, although her age was difficult to guess, with oval face and clear, fresh skin, the rich, red blood of perfect health crimsoning the rounded cheeks; eyes of deepe*st, darkest gray, the kind of eyes pledging a thoughtful soul behind to yield them such rare power of expression; a face reflecting the joy of living, yet responsive, and, in moments of quietness, saddened beyond its years; an entrancing dimple visible in the rather broad chin; the lips moist and rosy with health, sufficiently parted to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of white, regular teeth behind; the forehead low and broad, the wealth of shadowing hair of darkest brown, yet with an odd gleam of reddish gold causing the gathered masses to seem an aureole of beauty. But it was not the outward face alone, nor any combination of pleasing features, which yielded such rare and indescribable charm—it was rather a distinct and unusual personality which gave to these both life and attractiveness. Her slightest glance or movement, natural and unaffected, seemed a new revelation of self, the outer expression of a secret inward life which I instinctively longed to penetrate, the guarded mystery of which was invitation. The three conversed little, speaking English with that lack of restraint common to those who have been accustomed to having discreet servants behind their chairs, the man grumbling. icily over the quality of food furnished aud the indifferent service, my lady commenting with audible distinctness on the personal appearance of the various people present, the girl contenting herself with an occasional monosyllable when directly addressed. I dispatched my own order, and, while idly waiting the return of the servant, had my attention attracted toward a group gathered about a second table just beyond the one occupied by the English family party. (TO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) Getting Along All Right. A young Japanese in one of our institutions of learning, having acquired a very good knowledge of English, went out. to deliver a lecture in that language. On his return, says the Hartford Courant, one of the instructors asked if he had a pleasant time. He replied: "Yes, very." "How did you get on with the lecture?" "Oh, quite well, but the audi: ence smiled at some things when I could see.no jokes." "Could you give me an instance?" "Well, I opened my lecture by saying t h a t although I was new in English language I thought 1 could deliver the goods; and they all ! smiled." Now, doubtless t h e audience smiled at what they thought was the ready way in which a foreigner had adapted a bit of American slang; but he did not understand the smile because he thought he was speaking good English. The Passion Flower. The lovely Passion flower takes its name on account of its characteristics which symbolize the circumstances of our Lord's death and pastion. The leaves represent the spear? the tendrils the cords with which he was scourged, the ten petals the ten apostles who deserted him, the central pillar the cross, the stamens the hammers, the styles the nails, the inner circle round the center the crown of thorns, the white hue of the flower is typical of innocence, and the blue shade a symbol of heaven. The fact that the Passion flower remains open for only three days and then dies, represents the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord.—Home "'Notes. Homage to Brawn. The triumphs of the scholar the public regards as individual; the prowess of the athlete is popularly held to establish the name and fame of his college. Of course, this is unreasonable, for the reputation of a university as an Institution of learning should depend Upon the liberal education she gives to those within her gates. But it is quite true that, despite the excellent reasons why it should not do so. the pnblic continues to pay homage to brawn rather than brain, in so far as the undergraduate U ooncerned.

He made a movement toward her, but something—or the lack of some thing—in her eyes restrained him. "The fault was wholly mine," she went on. quietly. "It was. aucb a little thing—but 1 often think Ufa's greatest tragedies grow-out of trifles. A word- from me would have sufficed— but my foolish soman's pride woujd not let me speak. If I had. been—less uncertain—but it was at a time when everything was still indefinite. 1 waB not sure of you—or even of myself. Yet I think you must have guessed that I cared; and I used to fancy— you did love me. Will?" VLove you! In the years I've spent away from you I've sounded the depths of despair. I don't qtitt* understand what kept me from being' a brute to her; some Inherited instinct of decency perhaps—my forbears were gentlemen, I'm told—though 1 had only wyself to blame. She was an accident of Fate. It might have been iny one else. I was mad enough for anything. " She drew a long, deep breath. "It would have spared me something If I could have made myself believe that, Will, but I couldn't. I kept telling myself that you did not love me, that you never had and that my foolish vanity made me fancy It. When I tieard of your marriage—" "Don't speak of it, dear, 1 was desperate— half mod, l •think;1''! thought cou had been playing with me, that cou had planned it all to show your power—ah, what a fool, what a miserable, blind fool 1 was! And then to Jrag that innocent girl into my misery —it was brutally unfair to her. But I don't remember that I thought of aer. Suffering makes men selfish and I was wild with rage and pain. I married her with some mad idea of proving that your vaunted powers had failed--ah, lone, If I alone could have suffered for my folly! I tried not to act the cad, lone. Upon my honor 1 aid my best, l tried with all my strength to k«ep the truth from her, but I think she guessed almost from the first." "Poor child," IoH£ s^ld SQttly, "Poor :hild!" "lone," he said wistfully, " have you no pity for me? It is the erring always who need pity—not the innocent." Slip turned her eyes upon him. "Will." she said slowly, "it would nnce have been balm to my hurt to know that you needed pity—but I'm past all that now. I used to feel that I could have given you up to her almost resignedly, if 1 had been Bure that your heart was mine. But the time came when 1 conquered that feeling and tried to hope that you loved her. 1 think mine was not wholly a selfish love, Will. All through those first awful days after 1 conquered my bitterness, 1 kept saying to myself over and over. 'He loves her; he la happy. That should be enough for Die'. Hut it wasn't, Will. I'm very human and after a little I grew hungry for the sight of you. for your voice, your smile—why Will, I could willingly have been a servant In your house —her servant—only to be near you!" "lone," he cried passionately, "lone"— but she stayed him with a glance. '' : "What f lived through that flr« year and the years that followed you will not care to hear. It Is not a pleasant story. But always the fiercest flame will burn itself out i t time—the pain spent itself. Peace came to me—the calm of the lotuseater. At first, a chance word, the casual mention of your name, brought it all back to me and made me wretched for days. But it Is not so now.

"Now I think it would rather bore me, "she answered quietly. He caught his breath sharply. For six years he had lived tor the moment when he and this woman should meet again—and now , . . Ha rose and strode across to the. window where he stood aji instaotrvtruggling fpf control. ,, Th^p be came and stood looking- down at her, his eyes dark with palilfedifeasion. V , "Dear," he said, "surely I've been punjfhedj eAQiigh. DoWt torture me. Do**, ta*It's io$ lata." She? lilted her eye*- to his. There was ooibpaasion in them—nothing more. "Dear," he said pleadingly, "dearest!"— hut she made no sign. Then suddenly he bent and caught her to him with crushing force, preBsin*. fierce kisses on lips and brow and cheek. She did not resist. She lay passive in his embrace, utterly moveless and unrespensive. His lips grew chill; his clasp loosened. She faced him calmly—her cheek faintly flushed —but for the rest quite unmoved. "Its hopeless, dear," she said quietly, "a faint flutter of the pulses—purely physical—nothing more." He laid his face down upon his arms. "God!" he said miserably, "I couldn't have lived through those awful years If I'd dreamed of this!" She might have pitied him, but that she no long er allowed herself the luxury of emotions. "Strange. Isn't it," she said musingly, "that the things we most care for in this world come to us after we have ceased to care? Five years ago 1 would have given my life for an hour like this and now—" "Don't!" be cried sharply, "I can't bear it!" "I'm sorry, dear," she said gently. He did not lift his head. There was a little silence in the room . "Will," she went on after a little, "there Is something more. I—I am to be married soon to a man I've known fcr years. I gave him my promise soon after the death of your wife." "You knew?" he queried Bharply. "You knew that I was free, yet you did not wait, you gave me no chance—" "It would not have mattered. There was no chance." "Then you love him—thiB other man?" "If I did I should not marry him. 1 have exhausted amotion, Will. I don't live any longer—I only exist. My one prayer is that 1 may never love again. I have suffered enough. If I found 1 was beginning to care for Archie I should ask for my freedom at once." He llatened quietly—a hurt, dumb wonder growing In his eyes "As It Is" she pursued evenly "1 like, admire and respect him thoroughly. He's a fine fellow, our tastes are congenial and we're the best of com radee.i 1 think tie lovet me in bis way infinitely better than I can ever love hlm—but he will not be the loser by that. I can be far more charming to him as matters stand than if 1 worshipped him. A woman loses her power over a man the moment he knows |he lovea- him. Till then he's her slave; thereafter her master.

So 1 shall play my pretty wifely role all the better because my heart 1B not involved. And I shall be happy enough -as happiness goes In this wurld," "And I?" He queried bitterly. "You also, Will. You'll marry some one else in time and probably be bappier than with me. I've often thought. Will, that ir I'd married you. I might have made you very uncomfortable. A great devotion frequently baa that effect upon its object, I've observed. 1 Bhould have wearied you with my affection and worried you with exactions; we should both have suffered and probably ended by boring each other. Even if our love had proved strong enough to survive the friction of daily life, we should in the end, after months of discord and discomfort, with occasional rapturous intervals, ojnly have arrived at the point where Archie and 1 are beginning—a good comfortable camaraderie, which, after all, is the safest matrimonial basis. Good-by, dear Will. It hurts now, perhaps; but believe me, the pain will pass." "Will," she cried Impulsively, "you're so physically perfect that I wonder it doesn't touch me. 1 re* member how I used to gloat upon the beauty of your face—the type is pure Greek. Odd isn't it that I can consider it quite Impersonally now, aa I should a work of art?" He threw out his arms in a sudden, desperate gesture. "Forgive me, dear," she said gently, "1 know its bitter—but it will not last." Moved by a sudden impulse she drew the tall head down and kissed his brow. He did not try to Bpeak, but the look on his face stirred her hard-won calm. His eyes made a last wistful, dumb appeal; then he touched her hand with his lips and went away. When the outer door had closed upon him, lone drew a long breath. "A moment more," she said, "and I might have yielded. But it ia, better as it is. I've suffered enough." Wild Swamp Potatoes. The swamp potato (8olanum comer* soni), which grows wild in Uruguay, has lately been cultivated in France, when* it has produced a variety with violet tubers. The new variety is characterized by extraordinary productive^ ness, resistance to disease and trost, and the production of large aerial tubers in the axils of the leaf stalks. German potato growers, however, find the new variety so similar to the long known variety Paulson's Blue Tilant that they are inclined to think that the latter has, innocently or designedly, been exploited in France as a novelty. The same opinion is held by a prominent English potato grower. The two sorts have also been cultivated side by side at the experiment station of a Swedish society for the improvement of moors, where they .appeared to be identical in foliage, flowers and tubers. The swamp potato, however, proved less productive than the old Blue Giant, and its most strongly emphasized peculiarities^ antipathy to lime and preference for.marsh soil, could not be detected. Similar results were obtained on an experiment plantation in Silesia—Scientific American. Notes of Women. A French book on the evolution of the Englishwoman finds- the woman's club—which in England is a real club, not a body which holds monthly, meetings— an excellent institution for both married and single. For the married woman it is her "own place, where her husband cannot worry her," while for the unmarried it is a place where she need neyer be dull and where she can properly, entertain friends of both Worthy of New Citizenship '• * — — Triumph of Italian Veteran in Agricultural Colony in North Carolina.

Deposed Nicaraguan Dictator Flees to Corinto. Joee Santos Zelaya, the ex-preBldent of Nicaragua, has taken himself out of the country and is now aboard the Mexican gunboat G-eneraJ Guerrero bound for Sallna Cruz. Under the cover of darkness Thursday morning Zelaya, accompanied by a heavily armed guard, proceeded to Corinto, in which port the Mexican warship had been lying for several days, close to the United States protected cruiser Albany. Other American warships swung at anchor in the harbor, with marines aboard, lazily awaiting instructions. Zelaya's coming was unheralded, but a guard from the Guerrero received him and soon he was safe under the protection of the Mexican flag. At 5 j>'clock in the afternoon the warship weighed anchor and pointed out to sea. A salute of 13 guns was fired from the shore, and hundreds of soldiers and citizens waved1 the former dictator a farewell from the beach. POLITE EVgM HI^EmEMtTY Abundant Truth in the CUB- -J ,, ternary Formula, _ William was a little country boy who bad been reared to the age of lour by a careful grandmother of the Old school, who had paid particular attention to the chlld'B table manners. Mindful of grandma's admonitions If given at the table more of anything than he cared for, William would firmly say: "Plenty, fank you. plenty. No, tank you, 1 don't keer tor It!" alway* to the family's great amusement. But William developed on his own account an independence of conduct that required curbing, and , that at length grew BO alarming that one day, after a particularly exasperating exhibition of importance, he and his father took a walk around behind the barn, hand iu.hajad, father armed with a slender switch that was calculated to produce a good moral effect if used judiciously, and his small son sliding along with great reluctance on toes that caught at every foothold on the path. \ Then his father's voice was heard saying: "I'll teach you, sir, not to be saucy to your mother!" and swish- Bwash went the slender switch, landing with a whack-whack on William's plump anatomy. The little boy endured it in silence for a moment, and then a polite protest went up. "O, 0, plenty, plenty, papa, plenty! No—no, fank you, papa, I—I don't keer for it!" - Fines to the amount of $14,000 was assessed by Judge George F.

Jpack ,beeta and turnipa in boxes in moist sand to prevent withering. Tu raise beet and turnip seed set the* old vegetables out next spring. A handful of straw in the bole wbeo setting a tree will hold the moisture. How often do you grease that beet wagon? A well-greased wagon means a larger load of beets. The world never will know the great debt it owes to farmers who think out good things and do them. Were the roads over which you hauled your grain this fall the sort you waqj tq travel the rest of your life? Try a new variety of potato each year. In this way you will *flnd the kinds best suited to your soil and climate. If. your potatoes were scabby this year do not plant them on the same ground again next year. Get new seed also. Don't let stock tramp across a muddy beet field; the value of the beet topB is more than lost by the damage done to the field. How are the roads this year? It costs much money to draw heavy loads through mud six inches deep. Let us have better roads. The bugologists say 1910 gives promise of being a chinch bug year. They had better wait until the coming winter 1B wiped off the slate. SAND SIEVE TO CLEAN WELL Any Floating Matter Is Easily Removed by Using This Device— It Is Easily Made. (BY F. L. RlfcLEY.) It is well to make one of these devices against time of need. The dry season is the best and only time to fix and clean the farm well. Any floating matter may be removed by using an ordinary sand sieve. After marking off the rim into three parts attach a wire to any of these A Sand Sieve. parts or points and for a handle use an attached rope. Fasten the end of the rope to the third point in the rim and a weight to the sieve so it will sink after lowering. In using sink the sieve edgewise in the water, pull the rope with a single attachment, lifting out well all the floating sticks and other debris from the surface of the water. The Telephone as a Farm Help. In these days of scarcity of help n tho farm the value of the telephone is becoming more thoroughly appreciated. It does its work with lightning- like rapidity and saves hours, and even days, in times when it is most valuable. It carries messages to the town, the neighbors, and brjngs the doctor, help and aid at all hours of th3 day or night. It never gets drunk, seldom goes on a strike, and, generally speaking, is the most reliable help on the farm. The increase of farm telephones is growing rapidly every month. STORAGE OF SWEET POTATOES Husking Corn Disagreeable. There is no job more disagreeable than husking corn out of the shock. The weather is either too fine to be spoiled at such work, or too disagreeable to think of tackling such.a Job, from our viewpoint. It pays to use a shredder or grain separator on large fields. With a slough grass top, shred- £ d or threshed-fodder will not spoil A M * stacked outside. Goats Clearing Land. The farmers in the vicinity of Lawrenceburg, Ind., are having their land cleared of brush by goats. There is a herd of 40 goats that has been in the vicinity for the last five years and has changed owners ten times. As soon BH their owner discovers that there is'no brush left for the goats to feed on he sells them to another farmer for a similar purpose. Value of Grosbeaks. Among the most valuable birds to the farmer are the rose-breasted grosbeaks. One pair of such birds can in a week destroy all of the potato bugs on an acre of potato Tines, and then keep the yinaa, claap lor tfea entire Must Be Kept Absolutely Dry anal Warm, a* Slight Frost or Severe Cold Will Injure. ' (ST **• P. ORINBTBAD.) The storing of sweet potatoes lor winter la by no means sa simple a matter as- the proper care of Irish potatoes, while different methods prevail in the north and uouth. The harvesting machinery is similar except that the moat improved potato diggers are not adapted to the hatvesting of the sweet potato, since the Ylnea would interfere. The kind generally used Is the regular two-horse plow digger, with two rolling c u ^ r a t.o cut the vines on either side. . The potatoes are not Injured by lying in the nun, but should be removed to the storage room the same day they are dug. " • The essential difference in the storing of sweet potatoes and the. Irish potato arises from the fact that a 8w*et potato must be kept both dry and warm. It is a simple matter to bury Irish potatoes in a bank where they will keep ail winter, but a specially constructed storage p'ace must be made rcr the sweet potato. In the south and even as far north as Missouri they may be kept In a well-ventilated pit, which can be kept dry by covering with boards or other roofing. Select a well-drained place, scrape away sufllclent dirt to level the ground, then dig two trenches across the place from six inches to a foot deep, and the ground should lay so that water will not run into nor stand in them. Cover the trenches with pieces of boards, spread a little straw or dry Utter over the ground and pile the potatoes thereon in the shape of a cone around the ventilator flue, which consists of four pieces of four by six inch board nailed in the form of a box and set over the point where the trenches cross, extending up through the heap of potatoes and out at the top. When the heap of potatoes has been completed cover with straw or leaves, then add five or six inches of dirt or sufllclent to keep out frost Care must be taken to keep both the trenches and ventilator open till it is necessary to cover them during a severe cold spell when they are cqvered with something like an old carpet, which should be removed on days when the weather will permit. In the north, where the ground remains frozen for several months, this plan would not answer, but they may be kept in a well-ventilated cellar if kept in crates and up from the ground. Yet a cellar Is by no means the ideal place for storing sweet potatoes, the accumulation of moisture being t o great. A frost-proof building that may be kept dry is much better. Such a building should be constructed of brick or stone and lined with wood, with a dead-air space, which insures a dry wall. Where only a few are to be kept for home use no better or cheaper way can be found than to store them in barrels or boxes of dry sand or road dust and keep them in a warm room or rather in a room where they will not freeze, It Is possible, of course, to keep them too warm. Potatoes kept In dry dust and not allowed to freeze may be kept for seed with very little loss. It must be remembered that the sweet potato will surely rot if exposed to frost, even though they do not actually freeze; also that they inust be kept dry and where the air circulates freely. For best results probably a temperature of about 60 degrees, varying through a range of ten to twenty degrees, will be found best, and where the proper building may be had this temperature can be maintained easily, with a free circulation of dry air. Measuring Grain. Weight per measured bushel is not always a correct indication of the quality of grain. There are several conditions that have an influence in determining the relative proportion, Grain with a small berry will outweigh that with a larger berry, and the two, evenly mixed, will outweigh either alone. This is especially the case with peas, and a wrinkled surface will also cause a decrease In weight per bushel. In the. case of barley and oats, the presence of beards and awns, respectively, will cause a lighter weight. Proper Care of Machinery. It is estimated that about $100,000,- 000 worth of farm machinery is made and sold each year in the United States. Fully one-half of this goes into the hands of men who do not know how to select it wisely or to-keep it in proper condition. The waste which results runs into millions of dollars annually. Winter is one of the best times to apply manure to the garden. If It it put on freshly plowed ground til the batter. nr AMATEUR H Y P N Q T I 8 T MAKES A CORPSE SHOW SIGNS OF L I F E . FUNERAL PLANS STOPPED Physicians Called and Hearse la Rushed to Hospital for Instruments But Apoplexy Finally la Fatal in Strange Caw in S t Paul. S t Paul, Minn. — Mrs. Charlotta Willner, who dropped supposedly dead of apoplexy In a dentist's office and whose body was taken to an undertaker's, was pronounced alive 24 hours later by Isaac Deverman, undertaker's assistant and amateur hypnotist, who said he had brought her back to life by massaging her heart as she lay on the morgue slab and by exercising his will. The woman had been pronounced dead by two physicians and a coroner's btatement issued to that effect. Deverman proved to assembled friends of Mrs. Willner the reappearance of life by placing a mirror before the lips of the prostrate woman. Upon the glass vapor formed. Physicians were straightway summoned to the undertaking establishment, and by dint of strenuous effort for the woman's resuscitation, her lips were seen to move and mutter unintelligibly. Electrical instruments were brought from the Luther and Bethesda hospitals and applied, flushes were seen to form beneath the electrodes, but this rapidly ceased and assembled physicians announced that rigor mortis was setting in and that the woman was dead. Mrs. Willner called at the offices of Dr. A. M. Birnberg, dentist, Germania Life building, St. Paul, on a Sunday afternoon. While sitting in the dentist's office she began expostulations concerning a bill, during which she fell over apparently dead. Without informing Coroner Miller's office she was taken quietly to the undertaking rooms of Jacob Rockstruh. Information/ said to have come from Deverman, reached the coroner's office late at night, and the embalming of the woman's body was forthwith ordered stopped until an investigation could be effected. At the time for the funeral the hearse and 30 carriages were dismissed suddenly from the door of the undertaking establishment by the excited order of Mrs. Willner's friends, who had been summoned to see the signs of life. Eight doctors were summoned from all parts of the city with resuscitating apparatus, and Deverman, the Willner family not believing in his FAMILY COUGH SYRUP Cures Any Cough in Five Hours. - * * W P R E S C R I P T I O N H E R E .

Batteries were attached to the body for two hours. Physicians connected with the Strange case would give little light on i t They agreed that Mrs. Willner died from apoplexy, as stated In the coroner's certificate.

Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Peuasyl vanla, Michigan, Minnesota and tnstitu tions of like rank are not represented In the season's list of deud and the critically Injured at football. Of the big teams In the country that at WeBt Poln. lost Cadet Byrne, who died of hltk hurts, and that at Annapolis saw Cr.det Wilson disabled by fractured vertebrae. Cadet Byrne received "his fatal injury when he returned to the game In a weakened condition after having been retired for a slighter hurt, says New York World. From the rolls of the fcotball dead a»d of those critically hurt it can be seen that the majority of victims came from high school teams and from amateur elevens of irregular training. We reao of one death from lung trouble due to exposure on the field, of another from overexertion and of a student of Dickinson seminary In Pennsylvania who was prostrated by strychnine taken to stimulate his heart action during a contest All these fact- support the contenticn of those unwavering advocates of the game who contend that the supreme perils of football arr chiefly for the unfit. Perhaps it is true that the direct road U a saving reform In football lies in a more rigid regard for physical fitness among players than in much tinkering with the rules. The multiplicity of flying devices leads inevitably to discussion as to the advisability of establishing rules for regulating aerial navigation. One genius has suggested that certain strata be designated as routes for certain classes of airships, though Just how these routes are to be marked or "buoyed" is not explained. But a complication difficult of adjustment, may arise If the contention of some lawyers Is correct. This is that under the common lawVwhlch cujMfefrom England \. and In turn was man code, a proj air above his he? hefc&L. coi P£ ai the old Ho- V owns tb»- no limit to g]ish-speai}ng d make a tret* no flies above identified and \ caught the flying man could be punished accordingly. All these things are conjectures, of course. Still, It Is evident that If travel by the air route shall ever become general there will be man? 9*3*1 points to be considered. It sounds like older and not better times to near of orders for the pursuit of pirates. The British ship Rowannmoorelropprled that she was attacked ty a piratical schooner in Bahaman -'water?, and the United States govern- 'me**'$MM directed that the revenue <mtte*v1*^ndom shall proceed from Oalvcejjjii tcjHhe Bahamas in search of the xmMh-M'the seas. Other cutters will JpMPt&e- Windom and, adds the dis- P«tch, "for ^he first time in many ycMte American armed vessels will for pirates." This smacks more t|k* times of the buccaneers and the ck flag with skull and crossbones ung out by failing vessels directed by skillful though wicked navigators than of the days of steam, wireless telegraphy and other modern Improvements. But a fleet of modern revenue cutters would make sbort work of any pirate craft that offered resistance. RAILROAD BOARD HOLD* IT HA* SOLE JUm$DICT10N IN DC- . MURRAOR MATTERS/ WILL CAUSE LITIGATION" :••#• - Every time that we make up our mind that there's no such thing as psrate gold buried hither and yon, something occurs to change our belief and to get us all on edge again, says Boston Herald. The recent severe storm along the coast of Yucatan Is said to have uncovered thousands of last century English and Spanish coins buried by the old pirate Lafltte, and again into our soul comes that old boyhood unrest and belief that if we started out with a proper digging outfit and a reliable map we could unearth treasure galore. When people find a pot of gold why in the name of Captain lOidd can't they keep still about ft and let us tend to our blissful knitting? Shippers Ask Commlsaion to Ignore Uniform Plan ©f National Association— Independent Order of Foresters Buy .Home at Saginaw. Through an opinion, which was rendered by the state railroad ^ ¾ sion, there is a great po«ibWty that the state will become ^ r o U e d w£J the interstate commerce commisslon in a matter which may have its final hearing in the supreme court Of tne United States. . The railroad commission has taken exception to the claim of the interstate commerce commission to have jurisdiction over demurrage. In draring the rules, the railroad conjmibstan Ignored the rulings of the interstate body and mentioned that ^ m u ^ g e rates in this state must be filed and approved only by the Michigan railroad commission. v.«irfe In its opinion the commission holo> that demurrage matters are purely local and no part of the rate can_ be determined, because they arise from conditions Incident to circumstances under which deliveries are made, and those circumstances under the con trol of the consignor or ^ s i g n e e . The railroad commission has received letter, from at least 100 sh ppcrs in various parts of the state asking that the resolutions relative to uniform demurrage be ignored. The> also ask the railroad commission to promulgate rules suited to the Michiean shippers. . "I am inclined to think that the rules we have ndop^d have ™vedthe way for a long scries y f " t legations in the supreme court of the United States." said Chairman C. L.

"Xeither this city ror Saginaw is in this movement for philanthropic purposes; We are In it for what we can cet out of It, and we believe there is no better way to get something than by helping to develop the northern counties." This was the declaration of Mayor Evans at the meeting of representatives of the northeastern counties of Michigan held in Bay City. The gathering was for the purpose of adopting a constitution for the Northeastern Michigan Development association, and some of the men representing the smaller counties of the district were inclined to object to giving the larger counties a greater representation in the affairs of the association.

The reception is always Scheduled to close at 1:30 p. m.r but Roosevelt usually stood at his post until the last citizen in the line reaching from the impressive old col' onlal portico ol the White House far down Pennsylvania avenue, had hat? an opportunity to come in.

Chilean Officers, largely naval, to iddge from their rather resplendent uniforms, occupied this second table, arid It was evident that they had been drinking tb excess. It Was their loud voices and boisterous laughter Which first, attracted my attention, and 1 soon caught sufficient of their incautious speech to discover they were bantering one among their number to carry into execution a tipsy boast he had Just made over the wine. The special officer thus singled out as butt for the boisterous wit of his reckless companions was a naval lieutenant, a rather tall, cadaverous fellow, sallow ..faced, bis short black hair standing erect and bristling, his mustaches drooping so as to shade the corners of his mouth. His cheeks were flushed with temper from the rough sallies" at his expense, and his-lips uttered a burning Castlllan curse, as he arose somewhat unsteadily to his feef, and glared about into the expectant faces of his laughing tormentors. "Sacro Crlstoi you will *ee,.camaradas; you will see!" he declared, bracing himself for the effort. "Caramba! what sailor fears In presence of beauty?— pa/! not 1." He turned short about, his sword chains rattling, and strode directly across toward the unconscious Briton, who stared up at him over his roast beef In petrified astonishment. Fumbling awkwardly at his belt, the inirudlng officer finally brought forth a card, and placed it ostentatiously upon (he table, bowing low as, he did so. "I would myself to introduce to the tenor," he announced with drunken" gravity, and in amazingly broken English. "I Teniente Lootenant Sanchez, Chilean nary; one of the flrrst family in this country* Maybe you know me, hey? I was with de Almlrante Cochrane, when the capltano call on you In the teetle ship. Now I would the bettar-r acq'alntance make with the' gr-reat Ingles, an' the ladles, the most boot'ful ladies," and his sunken eyes rested gloatingly on the surprised face of the girl, who bad half turned, the better to observe him. It was all so swiftly, so Impudently done that the astounded Briton could only stare, his lean face reddening with annoyance-. This hesitancy, as well as something in the constrained attitude of the younger woman, emed to encourage Sanchez; his exesslon changed to a satisfied smile, hile his lank figure bent In another eremonlous bow, this time directed ward her, *Ah, I knew it vould so be," he said.

He was far too drunk for feaiv .besides, being upheld by A military contempt for civil ians. "Pah!

"The dance on the warship, aenorlta," he insisted, "the gran' dance of my country; it will please you mucho Dlos! w'at care we for papa?" She perceived me plainly now, leaning forward Just outside the window directly behind the fellow's back. 1 know not what message of encouragement she may have read in my face, but into her eyes there Instantly swept a mute, passionate appeal.

The chances were strong that 1 should bear from" him later, but in the meantime my interest veered to the excellent dinner being served. The lieutenant would have his turn, and, perchance, bring me swift release from all my troubles on the morrow. The English party still remained at their table, lingering over the dessert, hut I noticed that conversation had lapsed, and precious little eating was being done. Evidently only the requirements of good form held them to their places, the elderly gentleman especially denoting his nervousness by continual side-glances about the long room. I overheard him mutter something indiBtinctly regarding having l e f t h i s * pistol upstairs, and it was plainly apparent he felt thoroughly ashamed of his late passlveness under Insult. Madame was flushed and uneasy, angry still over the episode, and greatly inclined to sputter now that all'real danger had passed; but the younger woman merely toyed with her spoon in silence, her eyes downcast, her cheeks devoid of their previous color. She made a fair picture, the brilliant light overhead flooding her dark hair, and it was not in young human nature to refrain from gazing at her through the invitingly open win dow.

I was upon my feet instantly, bowt reel- "Make the Slightest Uproar and I'll Hoist You Over the Railing." fraction of o moment I hesitated, feeling convinced that any action on my part would only serve to hasten my own fate. Yet it was not In my nature to hold back. Half rising, and bending forward, I reached through the open window, twisted my fingers into the fellow's coat eollar, end the next Instant he was lying flat upon bis back on the balcony floor, nothing remaining to show his recent presence in the dining hall except an overturned chair. It was rather smartly, prettily done, the astounded lieutenant possessing neither wind nor opportunity for the slightest outcry, and once wlthput, 1 promptly throttled him, meanwhile muttering a few Important admonitions into his ear in well-selected Spanish. "Lie still there, you drunken idiot. Make another attempt to bite me, and I'll pound your head on these stones. Bah! save your threats, senor, and if you make the slightest uproar I'll hoist you over the railing yonder, and It's 30 feet to the pavement below. Now stand up! Do you see this, senor?" and I pressed the cold muzzle of a revolver against his swarthy cheek "Oh, you do! Well, you probably know also bow It works, Now listen to me—there are stairs at that corner yonder; you R& down them quietly and disappear—disappear; do you understand that? If you dare return to that dining room to-night, or attempt again to address that young woman, 1 am going to klU you, senor." My voice was cold and low, but it carried weight Panting still from the fierce choking, bis eyes hot with anget his lips trembling, he endeavored to speak.

"I did no more than any man would consider a privilege. I realized you had no younger protector at hand." She glanced around toward the others of her party, now also upon their feet, and gazing out af us in undisguised amazement. "No," she explains, as though in unwilling apology; "he has passed the "A time of life which must come to all of u*/* 1 return**; nftftDy, "thd prudeuee is not n e w f w i f t disgrace.

"Permit me, senor; and we shall feel greatly honored to receive you at any time on board our yacht in the harbor. The length of our stay at this post is uncertain, yet we shall surely remain for several days.

Two pages will suffice." The remark brings one to consider the use of literature as a soporific—a chapter which is generally left unwritten in the critical histories of the value of literature. There is, let it be said at once, no absolute standard. We have heard of a rising young barrister who always reads Gibbon to put him to sleep; he calculates that the eight volumes Will last 30 years, and then, if he is not lord chancellor, he will start again, on the presumption that he has perhaps forgotten the wording of one of the footnotes In the first chapter or so. Another sufferer finds no help in the ordinary novel—the very ordinary novel—of to-day; he prefers to get away from literature altogether, to read statistics, or to play Imaginary Patience—an excellent device. But on the whole, we fancy that few would fly to Dickens for a bedbook; the literary soporific, par exseUence. is rather in the dull, long and prosy biography of some great and good man,.who always did what lie eught to have done, fxom the time he marched off merrily to school as a he died, having made a more or less virtuous pile. These are the things, we confess, which send us to sleep, although they are almost amusing if read backwards.

What do you suppose fools were made for? That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way? By no means.

"Back In our State land has become dear. Anybody wanting to sell can get $70 or $80 an acre for it, and every farm that's offered Is snapped up. In Saskatchewan, we have just as good land that coat us $11 and $12, so that a man can take up five or six times as much there as in Iowa on the same investment of money. "It isn't the money, though, that brings most of us up f r i ^ Iowa. I'm not sure that money would be enough The 'invasion' is a family affair.

They have to Jeave t h e farm and go into the big citie»-of t h e neighboring States to get warkv ToJteep them on the farm and in touch with us, we come up here and, make little colonies with the children around us, on homesteads or bogight land. This makes it easier for the farmers back there In Iowa to get land tor the stay-at-homes. The families that eome to Canada are kept together and the families that buy the farma they leave are kept together^ tod^ There won't be any slackening of the rush, either, for they still raise big families back in Iowa."

Why seek too closely to analyze the reasons for the greatest land trek in the history of America? It is enough to know that the sons of the frontiersmen of Iowa, and Kansas, and Minnesota— the best blood of the midwest— are pouring into the Canadian west in an ever-Increasing stream, and are learning that "God Save the King" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," are sung to the same tune.—Toronto (Ontario) Globe.

WINTER Q0VERINQ FOR BEES Simple Method of Protecting the Busy Little rHOne^ Gatherer During Severe Weather. The Illustration shown herewith shows a simple method of covering hives of bees for the winter, says American Agriculturist. First having determined the amount of stores the colony has by lifting the hive to Bee if it is heavy, newspapers are spread across the top and down the front, back and sides, each layer being fastened lightly with taofcB to prevent their falling off. When ah inch be so of papers have been thus placed and tied "around the middle, as shown in the lower drawing, a large sheet of tarred paper is folded and tied ardund the hive, as shown ih the upper draw* far be- Hive Covering for Winter. ing. Tying thus is likely to be more satisfactory than tacking, cause there is less dangerof the paper being torn- off. It is desirable to use the usual quilt or the chaff pillow above the frames. Maintenance of Soil Fertility. In the case of crops grown continuously on the same land the Ohio experiment station reports a rapid falling off In yield during recent years on unfertilised land. There has been a slight increase in yield on similar land, when the same crops have been grown in rotation with each other and with clover. A given quality of mantire or fertilizer, moreover, has produced a smaller increase on crops grown continuously than on those grown in rotation. Waste of Fertility. Whenever one is taking a drive over the-country roads it is a great eyesore to note the awful waste of fertility around a good many barns. Often small drains are leading from the barn to a nearby creek, which is colored by manure water. If the owner of such places could only be made to realise the waste, they would not be long putting in good cement floors and keeping all manure under cover until, run from rafter to rafter. Thia fn< it could be hauled to field, where i t ' s u r e s safety from birds, mice and rats; is so badly needed for feeding the there hi sufficient ventilation, and the growing cropa.

The Short ot It; - The Work bf hauling out manure is sb long and tedious when performed ih the old way that I found it difficult to get hired men to do this, and it was always a matter of controversy as to who should perform it. I bought a manure spreader, and since then have had little difficulty. The work of distributing the manure is easy, and I find it much more effectively done than by hand. I usually have from 100 to 300 loads to be spread every year, says a writer in Baltimore Amer» lean.

The help of bacteria in securing nitrogen from the soil for such crops as clover> beans and peas has been known ftir many years and has become an important factor in planning crop rotations. It has long been suspected that other crops are also aided in some extent by the germs in the soil and if, as Borne scientists think, the lot! can be inoculated to help growth of wheat, fruit and vegetables, we shall have one of the most important discoveries made in recent years, tt la claimed by English experimenters that by watering the roots or seeds (tf tomatoes, Btrawberries and corn *he bacteria solution has increased their growth by something like one-third and at the same time the maturity* is hastened, thus secttring,a lar$e crop and an. early one that sells for high pHces. Many farmers have the tanks where their milk is kept arranged so that all the water pumped for the stock runs through the milk tank and is carried to the stock tank by an overflow pipe: This arrangement is excellent, but can be improved upon in many cases hy' having a pipe at the bottom of the milk tank so~ that, it can easily be emptied and cleaned occasionally. Never leave sections of surplus honey in the hives over winter. If you do It will surely spoil and be fit only for feeding purposes. Honey, either comb or extracted, if properly taken care of, improves with age. Crop Rotation. In the five-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and timothy, jt unfertHized yield of corn has rem practically stationary throughou IB years of a test at the Ohio ex ment station. That of oats has slightly larger during the last five jrears than previously and that of wheat decidedly larger. This gain in wheat yield is chiefly due to greater immunity to Insect attack during the latter period. The average Increase per acre in all the cereal crops has been very much greater during the latter period than formerly, due to tbe cumulative effect on the fertilizers and manure. n r- \ 8toring Seed Corn. Usually, the attic is the most convenient seed-corn storage room available on the farm. It is certainly one of the most ideal places to be found anywhere.

Beaudetie/ a prominent builder o* Worcester, received a call in his office one; morning (torn a young mas, who applied (or a Job. Asked what be could do, Charles Schmidt (this 1« the wizard's name), aaid that he had done a Hitle carpentering. He was hired at %XM a day aa a helper. _ *eaudetbB had several houses,. In process of construction and Schmidt was assigned td one of the carpentering crews. He went to.work as one of the ordinary laborers and gave perfect satisfaction, although he did not claim to be an expert workman. One day, several weeks after he bad gone to work, Schmidt was on the .top floor of. one of the new houses. A carpenter who was at work near him, in trying to pull a spike with his hammer, broke off the bead. The spike was driven two-thirds its length into a heavy beam. The carpenter tried every way to pull the spike out and failed. Schmidt, noticing his fellow workman's predicament, came over. "What's the trouble?" he asked. "Cant yoa pull It out?" "No," said the workman, "nor any one else." "That's eaBy," said Schmidt, and getting down on his hands and knees, he seized the spike in his teeth, humped up his back and gave a tug. Out came the spika This was the first time, according to Schmidt, that he ever exercised this power outside of his own house. The carpenter, - dumfounded, rushed downstairs with'MB story. To prove that the other man was not stretching the truth Schmidt had to do it again. At once he was the hero of the job. For the amusement of his fellow workmen Schmidt pulled spikes with his teeth. He bit them in halves. Every kind of test was invented to try his ability. So far. although these tests have continued almost daily.

Following his Instructions, one of the car- . penters took a sledge hammer and brought It down several times on the big granite block. "Harder," yelled Schmidt; "harder —give it to 'er good." Swinging It over his head the carpenter brought -the sledge down with a bang that sent sparks flying; Such was the force- of the impact that the rock split and fell with a crash to the floor in two pieces, Schmidt apparently none the worse, went back to work with the rest of the man.

It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facta and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et al sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts wjere trying to deprive them of free 3peech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot,be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to Injure and ruin other citizens.. '" • * Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of-workmen Dut of work and destroy the'value of tfie plant without regard to the fact that nard earned money of men who worked, had been Invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but Instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such 4°" atructive and tyrannical acts as thgy may desire to" do. * * * The reason Sompetsand his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the' stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de union" ordered them discharged and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list," instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach tuem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" " It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful forthe Labor Trust "to do them. Thsuch a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and tryins to ruin these union men. Suppose thereupon the company should Bneer at the court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts protect them and punish their law-breaking oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men? The court is placed In position where It must do one thing or the o t h e r - punish men who persist In defying its peace orders or go out of service, let snarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds and violent members of labor unions, hate them and threaten violence if their members are punished for breaking the law. They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand punishment forothermen "outside de union" when they break the law. * • • Notice the above reference to "violent" members of labor unions.

The- noisy, violent ones get into offl<& and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know- how to mass this kind of men, in labor conventions and thus carry out the leaders* schemes, frequently abhorrent to the rank and file: so It was.at the, late Toronto convention.

The Grand (^ptunciL of the Provincial Worklngmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all conn$ et!oTis with unions in the U.

Said methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abidinepeonle. of Canada involving hunger, iofserjr; riot;1 bloodshed and mtfrder, all of Which might'be termed as a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair proviieee and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America.*' That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust." A few days ago the dally papers printed the following: (By the Associated Press.)) Washington, D^ C*. Nov. 10.—Characterizing the attitude of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and, ftrank -Morrison of the- America* Federation of Labor in the contempt proceedings In the courts of the District of Columbia, in connection 'with the Bucks' Stove and range company, as '> willful; premeditated violation of the* law" Stoon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly, Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of these three leaders. Mr, Burns expressed his confidence In courts in general and In those of the District of Columbia In particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Bums was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard It read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws of tener than do. the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishonorable methods toward their- competitors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these so-called leaders" would be harmful for Vear8 to' come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable workingman'a paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism, many organizations becoming tired of the rule-or* ruin policies which have been en-, forced by the president of tae A P. of L." • • *r_r^£. * »,,-.- a * 'That he bait maintain*! ate leadership for so-iio»g^ time in the. face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful wortfngmeottave seen foryears must be abasdMtettfnas been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part '4 the organizations that he ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the or- . ganization, and to have his faithful henchmen in the position where they could-do him the most good whenever their services might be needed^, » "Pnttker than 4Msv* aft has aerer failed, at the last conventions, to have some aenaatton to spring on the convention at the'npayofcoletleat moment^ which would plaee hrm in the Tight 6f * martyr te the; eaoae^of 'jfMaivla^ittd i i « h see if the object lesson'whicb they have been forced to give to these Madera is going to be recognised andi&tstoy are going to conform themselves-aaA their future" work and action* i s accordance thereto." / J Let the people remember that ment, "The Federation of Labor In ticular stands before the bar ofopinion having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rvuevaH the people of the country In the Interest of the few." .^ The great 90 per cent of AmerlcgM do not take kindly to the act*,,of tyranny of these trust leaders opgftly demanding that all people bow dow» to the rules of the Labor Trust aid we are treated to the humiliating spetHacle of our Congress and even the Chief oeervteted thoonsldmanda tJsat ,ed to.allow their plan of affairs of eh* Executive enterta law-breakers and eration to their the th« ga|ejBW*JlBjBYi ° v e r P workers of America come to know the truth about t "martyrs sacrificing themselves in noble cause of labor" hut it's onl hysterical ones who swell up and^^ajflftover the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly maids who, weeping copiously, were discovered by the old janitor at Mt.

"Yas'm, yas*m,.yo' shore has a desire to express yo' sympathy hut yo* excite a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result in his re-election. "That his long leadership, and this apparent Impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really Is, to undoubtedly the .case, and. accounts for the tactics he has adopted In dealing with questions before congress, where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom organized labor m,ust> look for recognition of their demand^ and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There Is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which iaed labor must adopt if it e even maintain its present st; say nothing of making.future pr We quote portions of another a reprint, from the same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its leaders, must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural instinct in man for power and position Is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of Bociety. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere In their efforts In the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to eater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organisations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to tue present leaders of the Federation of Labor. We mention the Federation of Labor particularly in this article, because that organization is the only organization of labor .which has yet found itself in direct' opposition' to the Isws 'of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man in considering the rights of themselves and their constituency; whereas, the motto of the Federation is just the reverse, and unless the leaders conform themselves and their organization In accordance with the laws of the land, the leaders and the organization itself must be disintegrated.^ and pass Into sense of'tnaitthd is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth, and the people, wop axe the court of last resort in this country, will never allow any system to develop in thfs country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of the country. ''This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must be eliminated. The organisation which they head ha* done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always jeady .and willing to acknowledge the benefits which their efforts have brouftat to then* constituency as « whole, but at the present time labor e m f f i r o t lAb3TOtpSt3cufer, rfahd Trust or anyotber trust e s S f f l f i r W K before the bar of public opinion, hav- ahod over p'-ople and. fog been convicted of selfishness end a to.ptevent ourj disposition t o . rule all the peopiet of protect**?* v the country in, >he interest of .the few.

Suddenly the stock began to not like the float of a fish line, indicating that something was going on below the surface. Then the price commenced to fluctuate. Now It would sink gradually, then suddenly jump up several points. These fluctuations continued for several months, then A D. and P. stock ceased to attract any attention whatever. On the first Wednesday in January occurred the annual meeting of the directors. The officers were waiting for the formalities to be disposed of before settling down to their work and tbelr salaries for another term. Suddenly word was flashed through the building aa if by telegraph that a block of stock amounting to fifty-five hundredths of the whole had been voted, changing a majority of the directors. IJvery man rushed to the room where the meeting was in session. The door stood open. and in the excitement of the moment an crowded in.

With a view to providing the necessary ransom to secure their release it became customary before embarking to pay an agreed premium to certain individuals called underwriters who were witting to guarantee payment of the ransom in the event of the merchant being captured. From this beginning the practice was gradually extended to Insuring the lives, first of mariners and then of other persons.

The total of the three crop* is placed ^ more by 115,000,000 t .an in any previous year in its history, and obviously tbat is a showing to be proud of. But singularly enough along with this proud showing the census bureau comes forward with the depressing information that the baby crop In Kansas has fallen off In the same- year, says Manchester Union. There were 25,980 babies born in Kansas in the fiscal year 1907, and only 23,850 in the fiscal year 1908. Of course the first question that presents Itself is what the fiscal future of a year has to do with such a matter anyway. Tet It is obvious that one must start from somewhere In such computations, and perhaps the beginning and end of the fiscal year are as good point* as any. The thought that is sure to suggest itself is, were the Kansas farmers so busy planting their big crops of wheat, corn and oats that they overlooked the graver problem of population? I'll* w • s vl?i. ti * ' •Urn m • w ^ > > t f M ' i ' i )>"iS'i »>""' ' »"%* The cerulean "sky-piece" has made its jaunty appearance in our midst. Time was when a man attired himself only in sober hues, as befitted his dig: r»ity and importance, says Washington Herald. No frivolous frolicking in fanciful garb appealed to the masculine taste. A strong reaction from the days of silken hose and brocaded, gold-laced coats and small clothes swayed the balance in favor of Puritanical and Quakerish garb of the past two generations. But man is becoming emancipated from his somber thraldom; not all at once, but gradually, as Is usually the case with great and important reforms. The necktie has long since succeeded to the inevitable, and its flamboyant brilliancy now shames the rainbow and the peacock. Masculine hosiery, too, has assumed the colors of the spectrum in weird and wonderful design. In hats we have passed the quiet black, brbwn and gray stage, apparently. The lurid college hatband was only the forerunner of the solid green hat which burst upon a startled public a year or so ago. It was a modest shade of green, to be sure, but green for all that. If a man doeBn't love his work, he would better get something else to do. Put the trouble Is that such people will hardly love any kind of work. The tiouble Is in them. They lack intelligence. If they knew enough to know good work they would soon learn to love It. The manual training scheme has this in view—to surround the job a man is doing with such Intelligence and taste as will make it attractive to him. "The man who is in love with his job gets more contentment out of life than any other," Bays Brander Matthews; and he gets a great part of his contentment In doing his work right. No man can love his work* who sh'rks. No man can he contented who is dishonest about his work. This is shirking or doing It negligently. So these things always go together—honest work, contentment and love of the job. The Farmers' National congress, In session at Raleigh. N.

WANTS NEW COURT CREATED Tribunal Would.. Hear Cases Arising Under the Interstate Law—Chief Executive Also Urges Federal Incorporation Statute to Suppress Abuses and Not to Destroy Legitimate Combinations of Capital. KyuuruM AUUWHiCMOn* <>T te rata*, far** »na charasa itton of jpaAaengef* and they may agree to eatab* Washington, Jan. ".—Needed legislation concerning the interstate commerce law and the control of trusts formed the subject of President Taft's spevtal message to congress. The president ta.Ua attention to the partial failure of the present commerce law to get results because of the frequent appeals from its decisions to federal courts and the slowness of the supreme court in deciding these eases. The message says: —- "It would not be proper to attempt to deprive any corporation of the right to tho review Dy a court of any order or decree which, if undisturbed, would rob it of a reasonable return upon Its Investment or would subject It to burdens which" would unjustly discriminate against it and in favor of other carriers similarly situated. What is, however, of supreme importance is that the decision of such Questions shall be as speedy as the nature of the circumstances will admit, and-that a uniformity of decision be secured so as to bring about an effective, systematic and scientific enforcement of the comerce law, rather than conflicting decisions and uncertainty of final result. » Recommends "Court of Commerce." "For this purpose I recommend the establishment of a court of the United States composed of five judges designated for such purpose from among the circuit Judges of the United States, to be known as the 'United States court of commerce,' which court shall be clothed with exclusive original Jurisdiction over the following classes of cases: "(1) All cases for the enforcement, otherwise than by ajudication and collection, of a forfeiture or penalty, or by infliction of criminal punishment, of any order of the interstate commerce commission other than for the payment of money. "(2) All cases brought to enjoin, set aside, annul or suspend any order or requirement of the interstate commerce commission. "(3) All such cases as under section 3 of the act of February 19, 1R03, known as the 'F.lktns act.' arc authorized to be maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "(4) All such mandamus proceedings as under the provisions of section 20 or section 23 of the Interstate commerce law are authorized to he maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "Reasons precisely analogous to those which induced the congress to create the court of customs appeals by the provisions In tho tariff act of August f», 1909, may be urged in support of the creation of the commerce court. "In order to provide a sufficient number of judges to enable this court to be constituted It will be necessary to authorize the appointment of five additional circuit judges, who, for the purposes of appointment, might be distributed to those circuits where there Is at the present time the largest volume of business such as the second, third, fourth, seventh and eighth circuits. The act should empower trio chief justice at any time when the business of the court of commerce does not require the services of all the judges to reassign the Judges designated to that court to the circuits to which they respectively belong; and it should alsii provide for payment to such Judges while sitting hy assignment In the court of commerce of such additional amount as Is necessary to bring their annual compensation up to 110,000. Only Second to Supreme Court. "The regular sessions of such court should be held at the capitol, hut it should be empowered to hold sessions in different parts of the United States if found deslrRble; and its orders and judgments should be made final, subject only to review by the supreme court of the United States, with the provision that the operation of the decree appealed from shall not be stayed unless the supreme court shall so order. The commerce court should be empowered in its discretion to restrain or suspend the operation of an order of the Interstate commerce commission under review pending the final hearing and determination of the proceeding, but no such restraining order should be made except upon notice and afetr hearing, unless in cases where irreparable damage wnuM otherwise ensue to the petitioner. A Judge of that court might be empowered to allow a stay of the commission's order for a period of not. more than 60 days, but pending application to the court of its order or injunction, then only where his order shall contain a specific finding based upon evidence submitted to the judge making the order and identified by reference thereto that much irreparable damage would re a, ture of the damage." "Under the existing law the Interstate commerce commission itself initiates and defends litigation in the courts for the enforcement, or in the defense of its orders and decrees, and for th's purpose it employs attorneys, who, while subject to the control of the attorney general, act upon the Initiative and under the Instructions of the. commission. This blending of administrative, legislative and Judicial functions tends, in my opinion, to Impair the efficiency of the commission by clothing it with partisan characteristics and robbing It of the impartial Judicial attitude it should occupy in passing upon questions submitted to it. In my. opinion all litigation affecting the government should be under the direct control of the department of justice; and T therefore rer.ommend that all proceedi n g affecting rmlers and decrees of the Interstate commerce commission be bronpht hy or against the UnitPd States en nomine, and be placed in charge of an assistant attorney general acting under the direction of the attorney general." Would Permit Agreement!. Coming to the subject of railroad pools and traffic agreements, the president say*: "The Republican platform of MW8 expressed the belief that the Interstate commerce law should be further amended so as to give the railroads the right to make any puhllc traffic agreement* subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines, and avoiding the common control of ettoh lines by any means the public, and especially the business whatsoever.

The president continues: "I believe these suggested modifications in and amendments to the Interstate commerce act would make It a complete and effective measure for securing reasonableness of rates and fairness ol practices in the operation of interstate railroad lines, without undue preference to any individual or class over any others. "By my direction the attorney general has drafted a bill to carry out these recommendations, which will be furnished upon request to the appropriate committee whenever It may be desired. "In addition to the foregoing amendments of the interstate commerce law, the Interstate commerce commission should be given the power, after a hearlrig, to determine upon the uniform construction of these appliances—such as sill steps, ladders, roof hand holds, running boards and hand brakes on freight cars engaged In Interstate commerce—used by the trainmen in the operation of trains,, the defects and luck of uniformity In which are apt to produce accidents and injuries to railway trainmen. The wonderful reforms effected In the number of switchmen and trainmen injured by coupling accidents, due to the enforced Introduction of safety couplers, Is u demonstration of what can be done If railroads are compelled to adopt proper safety appliances. "The question has arisen in the operations of the Interstate commerce employers' liability act, as to whether suit can be brought against the employer company in any place other than that of its home office. The right to bring the suit under this act should be as easy of enforcement as the right of a private person not in the company's employ to sue on an ordinary claim, and process In each suit should be sufficiently served if upon the station agent of the company upon whom service is authorised Is made, to bond the company in ordinary actions arising under state laws. Bills for both the foregoing purposes have been considered by the house of representatives and have been passed, and are now before the interstate commerce committee of the senate, I earnestly urge that they be enacted Into law." Control of the Trust*. The second part of the message is devoted to the control of trusts. After a lengthy discussion of trusts, good and bad, and the success of prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trust act, Mr. Taft says: "It is the duty and purpose of the executive to direct an investigation by the department of Justice, through the grand jury or otherwise, Into the history, organization, and purposes of all the industrial companies with respect to which there is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been organized for a purpose, and are conducting business on a plan which is In violation of the anti-trust law. The work is a heavy one, but it is not beyond the power of the department of justice, If sufficient funds are furnished, to carry on the investigations and to pay the counsel engaged in the work. But such an investigation and possible prosecution of corporations whose prosperity or destruction affects the comfort not only of stockholders but millions of wage earners, employes, and associated tradesmen must necessarily tend to disturb the confidence of the business community, to dry up the now flowing sources "of capital from Its places of hoarding, and produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained circumstances among the Innocent many for faults of the guilty few. The question which I wish In this message to bring clearly to the consideration and decision of the congress whether to avoid business danger something cannot be done by which these business combinations may be offered a means, without great financial disturbance, of changing the character, organization and extent of their business into one within the lines of the law under federal control and supervision, securing compliance with the anti-trust statutes. For Government Control. "Generally, In the industrial combinations called 'trusts,' the principal business Is the sale of goods In many states and in foreign markets; in other words. the interstate and foreign • business far exceeds the business done in any one state. This fact will Justify the federal government in granting a federal charter to such a combination to make and sell in Interstate and foreign commerce the products of useful manufacture under such limitations as will secure a compliance with the anti-trust law. It Is possible so to frame a statute that while it offers protection to a federal company against harmful, vexatious and unnecessary invasion by the states, • courses before them it shall subject it to reasonable taxation and control by the states, with respect to its purely local business. "Many people conducting great businesses have cherished a hope and a belief that In some way or other a Una may be drawn between 'good trusts' and 'bad trusts,' and that it is possible by amendment to the anti-trust law to make a distinction under which good combinations may be permitted to organise, suppress competition, control prices, and oo it all legally if only they do not abuse the power by taking too great profit out of the business. They point with force to certain notorious trusts as having grown into power through criminal methods by the use of illegal rebates and plain cheating, and by various acts utterly violative of business honesty or morality, and urge the establishment of some legal line of separation by which 'criminal trusts' of this kind can be punished, and they, on the other hand, be permitted under the law to carry on their business.

Ask* National Corporation Law. "X therefore recommend the enaotmeat by oongreas of a general law providing 'for the formation of corporation* to engage in trade and commerce amoftTta* state* and with foreign nation*, protecting them from undue Interference by the stata* and regulating their activities so a* to prevent the recurrence, under national auspKes, of those abuses which have arisen under state control. «uch a law should provide for-the issue of stock of such corporation** to an amount equal only to the cash paid In oa the stock; a i d if the stock be issued for property, then at a fair valuation aacertajned under approval and supervision of federal authority after a full and complete disclosure of all the facta pertaining to the value of such property and the interest therein of the person* to whom it I* proposed to issue stock in payment of such property. It should subject the real and personal property only of such corporations to the same taxation a* imposed by the states within which it may be situated upon other similar property located therein, and it should require such corporation* to file full and complete reports of their operations with th* department of commerce and labor at regular Intervals. Corporations organised under this act should be prohibited from acquiring and holding stock In other corporations (except for special reasons upon approval by the proper federal authority), thus avoiding the creation, under national auspices, of the holding company with subordinate corporations in different state* which has been such an effective agency In the creation of the great trusts and monopolies. State Laws Conflict "If the prohibition of the anti-trust act against combinations in restraint of trade is to be effectively enforced, It is essential that the national government shall provide for the creation of national corporations to carry on a legitimate business throughout the United States. The conflicting laws of the different state* of the union with respect to foreign corporations make It difficult, if not Impossible, for one corporation to comply with their requirements so a* to carry on business in a number of different states. "To the suggestion that this proposal of federal incorporation* for industrial combinations is Intended to furnish them a refuge in which' to continue industrial business under federal protection. It should be said that the measure contenw plated does not repeal the Sherman antitrust law and is not to be framed so a* to permit the doing of the wrongs which it is the purpose of that law to prevent? but only to foster a continuance and ad-* vance of the highest Industrial efficiency without permitting industrial abuse*. "Such a national Incorporation law will be opposed, first, by those who believe that trusts Bhould be completely broken up and their property destroyed. It will be opposed, second, by those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal incorporation and even if It is valid, object to it as too great federal centralisation. It will be opposed, third, by those who will Insist that a mere voluntary Incorporation- like this will not attract to It* assistance the worst of the offenders against the anti-trust statute and who will therefore propose Instead of It a system of compulsory licenses for all federal corporations engaged In interstate business. "Let us consider these objections In their order. The government Is now trying to dissolve some of these combinations and It Is not the intention of the ?government to desist in the least degree n its effort to end these combinations which are to-day monopolising the commerce of this country; that where it appears that the acquisition and concentration of property go to the extent of creating a monopoly of substantially and directly restraining Interstate commerce, it Is not the Intention of the government to permit this monopoly to exist under federal incorporation or to transfer to the protecting wing of the federal governmea. of a state corporation now violating the Sherman act. But it is not, and should not be. the policy of the government to prevent reasonable concentration of capital which Is necessary to the economic development of manufacture, trade and commerce. . . . May Doubt Constitutionality. "Second—There are those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal Incorporation. The regulation of Interstate and foreign commerce is certainly conferred in the fullest measure upon congress, and if for the purpose of securing in the most thorough manner that kind of regulation, congress shall insist that it may provide and authorise agencies to carry on that commerce, it would seem to be within Its power, this has been distinctly affirmed with respect to railroad companies doing an Interstate business and interstate bridges. The power of incorporation ha* been exercised by congress and upheld by the supreme court fn this regard, why, then, with respect to any other form of Interstate commerce like the sale of goods across state boundaries and Into foreign countries, may the same power not be asserted? Indeed, it is the very fact that they carry on Interstate commerce that makwr these great industrial concerns subject to federal prosecution and control. How far as Incidental to the carrying on of that commerce it may be within the power of the federal government to authorise the manufacturer of goods, is perhaps more open to discussion, though a recent decision of the supreme court would seem to answer that question in the affirmative. "The third objection, that th* worst offenders will not accept federal incorporation, is easily answered.

A lady was very solicitous about jtor health. Every trifle made her uneasy, and the doctor waa called immediately. The doctor was a skillful man, and consequently had a large practice. It was very disagreeable to him to be ao often called away from his other cases for nothing, and he resolved to take an opportunity of letting the lady gee this. One day the lady observed a red spot on her band, and at once sent for the doctor. He came, looked at her hand, and said: z "You did well to send for me early." The lady looked alarmed and asked: "Is it dangerous, then?" "Certainly not," replied the doctor. "To-morrow the spot would have disappeared, and I should have lost my fee for this visit."

Senator Beveridge, apropos of the old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said the other day: "Snow, of course, has its disadvantages from some points of view. "'Snow is beautiful in its season.' Solomon said that. But I know an old Indianapolis man who, on hearing this remark of Solomon, grumbled: " 'Oh, yea, no doubt it was beautiful to you^slttln' with all the wives «nd lasses of Jerusalem beside you; but if you'd been a poor stone cutter you'd never have said any such thing.'"

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it, "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said Hooked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained IS pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but sot so fast as at first. My headachea began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks — enough to get the coffee poison o my system. "Since I began to use Postum I gladly say that I never know what neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum 1 never went out alone?

At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Snglishingn and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. CHATTER HI. In Which Opportunity Comes. A period of decided depression followed, the earlier vision of youth fa dittg swiftly as 1 realized what the message of this card plainly meant, and contemplated the social gulf yawning between myself and this woman Of the English aristocracy. A cat may look at a king, and a South American adventurer might venture to tike admiringly upon this beautiful gentlewoman, yet vaulting ambition should have a care lest it o'erleap itself. Oh, well, it was not much I had to overcome—merely an impression, a fugitive admiration which would early perish, for JC waa hardly probable we abouldaeveiuneet again, ra spite of his lordftbJp's »lff ThvlUtloTi, and her exceeding warm glance seffetfiy ^sectro'ifo* it. •"*:'••.-.'.

But a smile can leave a deeper wound than a sword, and my mind would recur, in spite of other intervening thoughts, to the pleasant mystery behind her gracious words and action. I was thus lingering over the nuts and wine, dreaming a fool's dream, and Idly wondering at the cause of that endless racket in the streets below, with the chorus of vivaa arising from the crowded plaza, when the opeit window facing my table became suddenly darkened by a burly figure. Before 1 could push back my chair, the unwelcome intruder on my privacy was politely bowing before me, one_ hand pressed upon his heart. "Pardon, senor, my so abrupt appearance"— and I gazed curiously into a round, bronzed face, guarded by closely clipped side-whiskers, and illumined by steady black eyes—"but the waiter said 1 should certainly find you alone here, and my need was most urgent. I address the Senor West?" It was the name I had assumed, and, with closely pressed lips, I bowed in ailent acknowledgment of my identity, feeling little doubt about .the man's mission. The round, rather complacent face broke into a geni§l smile of relife. "MuBt fortunate I am thus to discover you with such facility," he continued fluently, using both hands in geattculation. "Senor, it is now a grwt favor I would ask. Could you yield me the honor of a private interview in my own room?" pointing upwar" impressively.

I watched these evidences of excessive caution with considerable amusement — undoubtedly bribery of the Valparaiso tec ret pottce was considered * moat serious affair. A table occupied the center of the room, aad with a wave of his rather fat hand my mysterious companion invited me to occupy a chair beside it. The perplexity exhibited by hit troubled face caused me to smile again. "So, senor, to you it was all fun," he said, gravely, gesticulating with vtgor. "But I appreciate the danger, the peril of discovery. Everywhere lurk the spies, and what I have to say is "Sangre de Cristol But We Will Show Them What War Means!" not for other ears. Senor, I have addressed you as the Senor West, for so I was bidden; but the man I really seek is not in truth of any such name," his voice sinking to the merest whisper, as he leaned impressively toward me across the table. "It is Senor Estevan." I crossed my legs In apparently careless indifference, my fingers resting oa the butt of the revolver In my pocket, undecided yet whether this was to be war or peace, but prepared for a bold play In either case. "I am Jack Stephens; so you may proceed, senor." "Ah! Tls as I was told!" hla face brightening instantly, his hands delving within an inside pocket of his coat. "This card—see; it is written in the English—it will tell you if I be trusted, if I be all right. You know the handwriting, senor, the man who wrote it?" I accepted the bit of pasteboard curiously, it was the business card of a well-known sugar firm, and I ran my eyes hastily over the few lines dimly traced on the back: "Bearer is all he represents himself to be; you may do business with him safely.—G. P. L." 1 glanced upward at the anxious face of the man opposite; he was evidently tingling with excitement. "You know him, senor? You know the handwriting? You believe him? What is it he says? I read not the English." "Yes; we are acquainted. He It George Lor in ^, a friend of mine. He taya you are what you represent your* self to be, and that I ma£ transact business with you in perfect safety. Now, then, what are you—an agent of the police?" He shrugged his broad shoulders, spreading his hands deprecatingly. "No, no; Cielo, no! Does he not tell you my name?" I shook my head negatively, my in* terest already deeply increased. "No! He was most cautious, it was best so; but now I tell you, and yon believe." Again he ieaned forward, his voice sinking to a mere whisper. UI am Don Kmllio de Castillo."

"Don EmUio," I exclaimed, eagerly, gripping his shoulder, and compelling him to look up, "let me understand thla clearly. You had perfected plana to capture and run off this Esmeralda the moment war was formally declared? You have organized a crew for tbe work, and they are waiting the word here now in Valparaiso? Their leader is suddenly stricken ill, and you have no one capable of taking his place—is that why you have come to me?" "Si, si, senor." "How did you learn about me?" "Prom Senor Lortng. He has lived in Peru. I have known him long." "But you must have other officers in your party; what of them?" He spread his hands in a gesture of utter helplessness. 'Senor, I brought with me only the one. It was not safe to bring more. Besides, what need? This Valparaiso Is a great seaport; here we may always find the scum of the seven seas; here ever are plenty of men glad enough to fight and plunder—'tis their trade. Cielo! we could enroll 100 devils In an hour along the waterfront, hell-hounds of the ocean, caring nothing for the flag above them if the pay be good." "True; and you have them ready at hand. Where are they?" "At the wine shop of Rodrigues beyond the plaza. You know the place?" I nodded, my memory Instantly recalling the foul den. "How many?" "Twenty—it is enough for a surprise, and they are sea-rats, senor." "But they are under officers?" "Of their own kind, yes, but not of our navy. The first officer Is a Yankee whaleman; the second I know not what, only he Is a deep-water sailor." "I see," I acknowledged, taking a long breath, yet continuing to stare at him. "What you need is some one able to command such an outfit, one who can operate a steamship." Like a flash the official envelope came forth again. "Si, si, and you can do that, senor. I know; I have been told. You hate this Chile; you fight her already in the hills; you hide here now for your life. I come to give you a chance to get away free. But I not stop even with that; no, no, my country not stop with that. See! here I possess the commission, all signed and sealed by my government, of a captain in the Peruvian navy. Only is the name left blank for me to write in. I write in your name; that makes you an officer of the Peruvian navy. See you what it means? Chile dare not touch you except as prisoner of war.

"And declared to-day? It hat come suddenly, although I am aware there have been months of controversy. Did Peru expect such a result? Is she,prepared?" He paused in hit nervous walk, his handa outspread on the table, his dark eyes glowing into mine. "Both yes and no, senor. We knew well that nothing save war could ever wipe out the Chilean Insults to our country. Yet we hoped for more time in which to prepare. Cielo! It is nst lack of men—no! no! the army is strong, valiant, senor; it will fight to the death. But the navy! Dios de Oios! we have not the ships, senor. They come not yet, those we have bought in Europe. 'Tis that which has brought me here in disguise to Valparaiso; 'tis that which brings me now to you." I watched him closely without venturing response, and he sank into a chair, his elbows on the table. "SI, now I explain it all to you," his voice falling so low I could scarcely follow. "We know for two weeks past war was to come. • We have only a few warships, one, two, three; not enough to fight Chile, or even guard our own coast. We have thexmen sufficient, but not the ships, senor. What could I do? I, the admiral? There was but one hope^—the audacity of surprise. They must be taken from the enemy; we must strike the first blow, and at the very heart of the Chilean navy. I come here incognito; I come before war has been declared; I study and observe. To a brave man chances for action come, senor, and so I found what I sought. Yeu know about the Esmeralda, senor?" I sat up suddenly In my chair, gripping my cigar between my teeth. "The Esmeralda! You mean that steam yacht yie Chilean government purchased from Brazil?" "Si," his eyes glowing eagerly; "you are a sailor, and so would know of her. She is beautiful, strong, swift, a most dangerous vessel if well handled. Have you ever seen her, senor?" "Only through field-glasses from the balcony of the hotel. She rode at anchor well off the government mole in the roadstead the last I remember." He clasped his fingers on my arm, 5T r. • An Interesting Runaway. "I read a piece In your paper about an automobile that run away with a man's mother-ir.-law," a correspondent writes the Adams (Ga.) Enterprise, "and*" I'm Interested in that automobile and would like to know the name and price of it, or if the owner would part with it for an extra consideration? The only objection to the story is that it doesn't go far enough; it says.

AMI QIV4NO WCATCPM CANADA Qreeter Impute .Then Ivor Thlg Year. The report* Jromv the grain fields of Central Canada, (whicfc comprises the Provinces of Manitoba, Saakatchewag; and Alberta) are to hand. The year 1909 hat not only kept pace with pr*> Tioug years la proving that this pcO Uon of the Continent it capable of producing a splendid yield of all the smaller grains, hot it hat thoroughly outstripped previous seasons. .There ie quantity, quality and price and from all parts of an area of about 320,000 square miles there comet the strong refrain of contentment and satisfaction. In the distribution of the conditions causing it no district hat been overlooked. Various et'imatea of the total yield of wheat for the country have been made, but it it not the vast total that influences the general reader so much, at what hat been done individually. The grand total—say ^30 million bushels— may have its effect on the grain price of the world; it may be interetting to know that in the world's markets the wheat crop of Canada has suddenly broken upon the trading boards, and with the Argentine, and with Russia and India, is now a factor in the making of prices. If so today, what will be ItB effect five or ten years from now, when, instead of '.here being seven million acres under crop with a total yield of 125 or 130 million bushels, there will be from 17 to 30 million acres in wheat with a yield of from 325 to 600 million bushels. When it is considered that the largest yield in the United States but slightly exceeded 700 million bushels, the greatness of these figures may be understood. Well, such is a safe forecast, for Canada has the land and it has the soil. Even today the Province of Saskatchewan, one of the three great wheat growing provinces of Canada, with 400,000 acres under wheat, produces nearly 90 million bushels, or upwards of one-tenth of the greatest yield of the United States. And Saskatchewan is yet only in the beginning of its development. As Lord Grey recently pointed out m speaking on this very subject, this year'B crop does not represent one-tenth of the soil equally fertile that is yet to be brought under the plough. Individually, reports are to hand of yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores of yields are reported of forty and some as high as sixty bushels. The farmer, who takes care of his soit who gets his seed-bed ready early, is certain of a splendid crop. The news of the magnificent crop yield throughout the Canadian West will be pleasing to the friends of the thousands of Americans who are residents in that country and who are vastly instrumental in the assistance they are rendering to let the world know its capabilities. There comes a moment in every man's life when he regrets his inability to kick himself. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE D A Y Take L.AXAT1VK HROMO Quinine Tablets. I>nnjglstsrefund money if it fiiils to core.

Parsons, manager of the Michigan Condensed Milk Oo. at Howell, had a timely article in the Eepoblican of Jan. 5, pertsiping to the milk question in this county especially. Of course the failure of the Pinckney Creamery and some of tbe causes given for that failure was the reason for the writing of the letter. We clip some portions of-the letter. He says: "In the first pjace, if milk that comes from the cow will not test three per cent butter fat the farmer ought to sell that cow at once, and the law of the state of Michigan that required three per~cent of butter fat in milk as it comes from the cow, is a wise law, and ought not to be lowered or changed in any respect. I, personally, believe that some of the farmers have watered milk—I don't think there is any question about it. This letter is not for the honest farmer, it is for the other kind, and the men whom it hits will understand it when he reads this letter. The Michigan Condensed Milk Company are willing to take the milk as it comes from the cow, but they don't believe except in very rare instances, it is possible for a cow to give milk that tests less than three per cent butter fat The reason on which we base our opinion is this: We have just had a test made from one of our Michigan factories which has about one hundred and fifty-four customers and the entire milk averaged 410 per cent of butter fat. We have just had a test made of all of our customers at the Howell factory and four hundred and two out of five hundred and two customers' milk averaged 3.41 per We cannot pay the prices we are paying for milk that tests less than three per cent. There can't any creamery or cheese factory live that buys milk that tests less than three per cent, and personally, I do not believe that there are fifty cows in Livingston county that the milk will test less than 3 per cent as it comes from the cow.

The explanation made for this interesting phenomenon is that after a cold wave a large quantity of beat Is taken from the ground in the work of chaugjng the frozen moisture into water, and thus, on the principle of the ice cream freezer, the pipe is chilled, enough heat being taken from It to freeze it.

TWO AIDES ALSO XET OUT Ledger to Dollryer Was Too Big An Offtnse»~it la BoHovodPlnehot'sAot Wss Deliberate Challenge to Chitf Executive. *«"•' 4'ter a cabinet meeting lasting nearly four hours, which ended just before 7 o'clock Friday night, PreBident Taft cauBed the announcement to be, made that he bad directed Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to dismiss Giflord Pinchot from the office -of" for ester of the agricultural department. Later on it was made known that Secretary Wilson, in accordance with a decision of the president and the cabinet, had dismissed Overton W. Price, associate forester and Mr. Plnchot's chief assistant, and Alexander C. Shaw, assistant law officer of the forest service, as well as Mr. Pinchot. The action of the president on the eve of congressional investigation into the allegations and insinuations against Secretary of the Interior Bellinger's conduct of the policy of conserving natural resources Is certain to cause a sensation. Its political effects, according to opinion here, may be far reaching. Coupled with the dismissal of Forester Pinchot was the significant action of the house of representatives lu connection with the joint resolution for an investigation of the charges affecting Secretary BalHnger. Through a combination of Democrats and Republican insurgents, aided by personal friends of Mr. Pinchot among the house membership, the house rejected that provision of the resolution which directed Speaker Cannon to choose the representative* who should sit on the congress committee of inquiry. The Cannon organization, which stood behind the resolution for an investigation, was overturned by a bare majority of three. Under the resolution as amended the house members of the joint committee of inquiry will be elected by the house itself. The decision to dismiss Messrs. Pinchot, Price and Shaw was reached at a regular session of the cabinet which was began at 11 o'clock this morning and lasted until nearly 2 o'clock. The later cabinet session, called for the special purpose, was devoted to the preparation and revision of a letter written by President Tart to Mr. Pinchot, giving the reasons why Mr. Pinchot waB to be removed from the government service. Briefly these reasons were that contrary to the instructions from Secretary Wilson, Forester Pinchot had written a letter to Senator Dolliver to be read publicly in the senate, defending Price and Shaw after they had admitted that they had inspired the magaslne and press campaign against Secretary BalHnger; that Mr. Pinchot had cast reflections in the' DoTjiver letter on the action of President Taft in directing the dismissal of Louis R. Glavis, of the public land service, the man who charged that Mr. Bellinger and other offlcers at the Interior department had been guilty of improper official conduct, in connection with the Alaska coal claims and that Mr. Pinrhot had intimated in the Dolliver letter that without the magazine and press exploitation of Price and Shaw the administration would have allowed fraudulent coal land claims in Alaska to be patented. According to President Taft. Mr. Pinchot wrote to Senator Dolliver to offset in the public mind the president's decision in the Glavis case. Mr. Pinchot in this letter paid a high tribute to. Mr. Glavis and indicated that President Taft had erred In dismissing him, and, by Inference, that Mr. Glavis' charges against Secretary BalHnger were based on proper grounds.

AHaging that it is cheaper to bar coal to fill present contracts than to operate the mint at the rat* of wages demanded by the men, the officials of the Enterprise mine at Pardoe, Pa., have closed the mine Indefinitely. Owing to a coal famine the Rock Island arsenal, employing 1.700 me*, was closed temporarily. Several cities in Iowa and western Illinois are alio facing a scarcity of coal as freight shipment is impeded by cold weather and snow. "Expert farmers wanted. Salary $1,200 per annum."

That milk at the increased price of a cents a quart will enable the large milk companies to pay dividends three times as high as the big ones of recent years is the assertion of counsel for the state in the milk Investigation in New York. The bridge spanning the Brie canal, Fort Plain, N.

George J. Gould commenced a friendly suit against his brothers and sisters for the partition of the estate left equally among them by their mother, Helen D. Gould, widow of Jay Gould, who died in 1889. The estate consists of four pieces of improved New York real estate. No official action looking to the transfer of Ambassador Baron des Planches from Washington to Constantinople is yet made known, but the transfer is not unlikely. It has long been expected tnat the ambassador's stay at Washington would be terminated early in the present year. Aram J. Pothier began his second term as governor of Rhode Island Tuesday. In his inaugural address) the governor recommended biennial sessions of the legislature, instead of annual; a better state control of foreign corporations, and state supervision of the fight against tuberculosis. Trustees of the Indiana Aati-8atoon league decided not to engage in a campaign for statutory prohibition of the liquor business in Indiana, but instead to attempt in the next session of the legislature to bring about the adoption ef a joint resolution for a prohibitory amendment to the state constitution. Thirty-four dollars and eighty-three cents is what every man, woman and child In the United States ought to have if the $3,122,154,538 which is in circulation were equally divided among them. That is the statement made by the treasury department on the basis of an estimated population of 89,644,000. The total amount of money in circulation is about $30,000,- 000 more than a year ago at this time. THE MARKETS. Cardinal Sato Hi Dead.

The tiny mite becomes a mighty factor in reducing the egg supply unless It is, constantly kept down. Halfway measures will not do. If you allow eggs for setting to stand around for two weeks before putting them under the hen do not blame the dealer if they do not oaten. White China geese are very gentle. They are also good watchers In the poultry yards, as any unusual disturbance is soon told by the noise they make. A house 8x12 is a very convenient else for a small flock of fowls. If a large flock is to be housed two ot more small ones would be better than a very large house. The Incubator is always on the job, never has to leave the eggs for feed or water and requires less time and care than the average busy old sitting hen. ,_„ ^_„ .fey- pawssBw '2^*^^^5ri chfekeoe, turt»ye, geeee, 4 » « « U ^ f i chiokena. of course, 4belag the medf important Something Uka a Quartet of a WUloechtckaem and otae* p*$t try are o^newd m <** United StatO* every yeatv Tka c<|iatuiH*tto* ot ejgji * about19 oo»e*>rr capita* The lag* census gave ^jnt tot** <* chk raised on American farms In ISM M*t*ft»l.ftTO-«t «ft* *» Utt,tS«J Tcrday the jUaarican people oo fe CHICKEN HOUSE IS PORTABLE English Firm Making Spsclatty of Kind That Can Easily Be Moved from One Field to Another. An English firm is making a ape* dalty of this portable chicken house. designed for use on farms where it may be desired to move the chicken headquarters from field to field, says Popular Mechanics. The small Port*ble5-Hou»e. * c o o p o n the shelf near tho top Is for brooding purposes. It may be left In that position, be placed on the ground, or, in wet weather and at. night, be shoved inside the house. The box, divided into five flections, across the-.end of the house, is for nesta. Labor Cost. On the general farm, where from B0 to 300 laying hens are kept, the labor item is practically nothing; but on large poultry plants it is an important item, and, if care is not exercised, the cost of labor will eat up the profit of the business. The work must be systematized so that one man can successfully care for a large number of fowls. On one large farm which was visited two men were caring for 4 000 fowls; on another one man was caring for 2,500. A minimum number for one man would be about 1,000. Mr. Channy, who keeps about 800 fowls, is realizing a profit of about $1,200 a year, which is considerable more than many men are supporting large families with. This would naturally show us that it is more economical to keep about 1,000 hens and perform the necessary labor yourself, rather than keep a larger number and be compelled to hire outside labor. which Is often very unsatisfactory. Barred Plymouth Rook Hen. about half * billion dollars' worth of poultry and eggs per annum. Exports are increasing and one may enter on the raising of poultry and egrs with little fear of not realising godd prices on all produce. Probably 90 per cent of the farms in the United States raise poultry aa a side line; feeding ts more economical where general farming is pur* sued* Still there are manifest advantages in specialising—greater attention, knowledge and skill schleve better results. :; Poultry raising makes no great demands on strength, and any person5pt' intelligence may hope to make a success of it. But some have made the mistake of supposing that the business can be taken up on a considerable scale without any experience. Hens lay all the way from none to 2o0 eggs a year, and it takes some experience to t*U with what kind of hons and under what conditions, the upper limit can be reached. Probably She besveourse fee the iaieMsaijwultry raiser would be to 'wrsrk few a year or more on one of UiaJarge chicken ranches in order* Vt learn the important potnta^ot breeds, feeding, fattening, penning, brooding, incuba*! ng, etc. The raUln»ot broilers, re..stere and capons"fttr. thev*market may be a paying occupation on an egg farm. Squab raising is profitable provided ope secures the right kind of stock and gives the work the proper attention and management No kind of poultry is more profitable than turkeys. rhe illustration shows a Barred Plymouth Rock hen, one of the most popular breeds. Feed for Chickens. Chickens must not only have all the food that they will eat, but they must have food in which the ingredients necessary for quick growth, and egg production are abundant It takes a variety of foods to combine theae essentials and we must provide It for them. The most active hens, as a rule. are the most prolific layers, but it is not wise to carry that idea to an extreme. The Poultry. They should have almost as Important a place on the average farm as other stock, and they must have good care in the winter if they are to pay their way and make a profit besides. A variety of food and warm houses are what the poultry flock demand. Do not let them roost in trees and on fences. Any animal that Is worth keeping Is worthy of the best care and attention. Do not keep more stock that can well be cared for. Keep the best stock, give the best feed and care and they will pay a handsome profit for the time and money spent on them. »^M»l»---*-aSieSB»»S8SStSSBSBt»aSfSB*B*SS«St»B»f» Handling Oeese.

If the goose Is held facing one it will strike bard blows with Its- wlnga or scratch with its feet The Poultry Yard. No man can properly attend to more than 500 hens. It is not only a question of feeding and watering but it is necessary to closely watch their condition, to keep their houses in repair, and to make them comfortable, and a long list of little details that dare not be neglected. Mslformed Eggs. There is something in the shape of an egg that tells the story. If it is ridgy, long and peaked, unusually large, or If it is "out ot shape," it will not tell you whether it will hatch a male or a female, but It tells a truthful story of the condition of that hen. Such eggs come only from hens that have diseased ovaries, generally caused by being in a too-fat condition. i i i « •• .a m Care of Young Pultsts. Many of the pullets hatched In March or April will soon begin to lay if they are properly cared for. The main thing is to keep them growing at a rapid rate, so that they fill at tain full alee aa early as possible. If they are permitted to go into the win* ter 4n a stunted condition they will not lay and their feed will be a dead loss.

The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the present proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doans Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world.

Sixth s t r e e t Topeka, Kansas, s a y s : " I n t h e spring of 1899 Doan's K i d n e y P i l l s brought m e s u c h great relief that I did not hesitate t o make t h e fact known and g i v e this r e m e d y my most earnest e n d o r s e m e n t In my statement I said that for three y e a r s I h a d suffered from kidney c o m p l a i n t I h a d a dull g r u m b l i n g ache aexoss t h e small of my back that greatly i n c o n v e n i e n c e d m e w h e n reaching a n d straining i n doing my work, A n annoying kidney weakness w a s also i n e v i d e n c e a n d it w a s out of the question, for m e to s l e e p w e l l In the morning I w a s a l l tired o u t a n d it c a n b e seen that I w a s in b a d shape. T h e u s e of Doan's K i d n e y Pills quickly a n d surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint a n d I have s i n c e b e e n i u good health. T h e foregoing statement w a s g i v e n i n March 1905, a n d w h e n Mr. I^lack w a s interviewed on N o v . 12, 1908, h e said : "I have n e v e r had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that my c u r e i s a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney P i l l s is stronger than ever. Mrs. James Croaks, First S t , N. W . , American Fork, U t a h , says, "I h a d kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of m y back and I often b e c a m e so helpless that I w a s compelled to go to b e d with my clothes on. T h e attacks often lasted for days at a time and X c o u l d n o t e v e n stoop to put o n my shoes. My condition w a s certainly alarming. T h e secretions f r o m m y kidneys w e r e irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what t h e misery kidney complaint causes a n d I c a n therefore appreciate the merits of a r e m e d y that cures this disease. Doan's Kidney P i l l s lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys w e r e restored t o a normal condition a n d my health greatly improved.'' (Statement given Aug.22.1907 ) On A u g . 24. 1009, Mrs. Crooks w a s interviewed b y o n e o f our representatives a n d s h e said: "It gives m e pleasure to reendorse Doan's K i d n e y Pills.

Another member of Pinokney's Old Boys and Girls association is added to the list of those gone, Jonathan Everitt, who was a hardware dealer here in the sixties, died at his home in Argentine, t Jan. 9, aged 85 years. J Word just reached this place t tbe past week of the death of Miss :, Ethel Durkeejat the home of her Bister Mrs. Will Singleton of Los Angeles, Call, Dec. 1, 1909, Her , home until the past few years has _„ been in the vicinity ol Anderson and her many friends will be grieved to learn of her death. NOTIOE-The members of the L O T M M are requested to be present at the first February meeting as there is important business to come before the hive. The meeting will begin promptly at 2:30.

He has had a launch built and expects to have it shipped here. A year ago he made a trip down the Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis. The suow storm that was headed this way last week Wednesday struck during the night and continued all day Thursday, the wind playing havoc with the 'beautiful' until it had piled it up in all kinds of shapes, making plenty of work for the snow plow and citizens. Trains were some late however all trains on the M. A. L. made their trips only a few hours behind. Throughout the state traffic was at a stand still in many places for 24 hours. A Correction. In the obituary of Mrs. Bernard McOluskey last week quite an .400* ooonrad for which we were f? antiraly to blame. In mentioning the survivors of the deceased no mention was made of the only daughter, Miss Mary McOluskey. Obituary* Sarah Harrington, whose maiden name was Waterman, was born in Middleport, Niagara Co., New York, Oct 6th, 1829. She lived in that county until her marriage to Harvey Harrington, Nov. 14th, 1850. The family moved to this state about 1858, settling in Saginaw city for a time then moved to Marion township where they reresided until coming to this place a few years ago. * To this union were born six children four of whom are living: George of Louisville, Ky.; Henry, of Bloomington, 111.; Mary Eldert,. of this place and Carrie Swarthont of- Marion. Mrs. Harrington was a kind loving wife and mother, devoted to her family and home duties and to her late husband, who passed through a painful illness, blessed by her loving care. She willingly obeyed the calls of duty^ however painful. She will be greatly mourned and missed by her family and a large circle of friends but we know our loss is her eternal gain. We believe that a family lives bnt half a life, until it has sent its forerunners into the heavenly world, until those who linger here can cross the river, and fold transfigured a glorius form in the embrace of an endlest life. GABD OF THANKS. The family of Mrs. H. Harrington desire to thank all who so kindly assisted them during the illness and in the time of bereavement, in the loss of their mother. CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who so kindly assisted us in our bereavement, also to those who sent floral offer. ings.

Wanton waste during centuries of ignorance has brought many once fertile regions to the verge of a desolation like that of the Sahara, but repentance and reforestation have in every instance been followed by immediate rewards. Take the case of the Karat, a stretch of barren limestone land along the Austrian ahores of the Adriatic. The navies of Venice were built of Umber from the Karat, and most of eastern Italy drew its supplies of wood from the same supposedly Inexhaustible source. The result was depletion—the Karst was turned into a seemingly Irredeemable waste. At last Austrian foresters turned their attention to the 600,000 barren acres; taxeB were remitted and money was remitted to tree planters; technical advice aid encouragement was supplied. This work began in 1865. To-day over two-thtrda of tho Karat, or 400,000 acres, has been reclaimed. Germany, trance, Denman;, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland have given special attention to their forests recently, Germany being the pioneer and leader in the work. But France has lately done so much In legislation and active assistance tlxat special attention should be given to her efforts. Special Message Is Sent to Congress by President Urging Action Lawmakers. CONTROL OF WATER POWER Vhe change from steam to electricity on what have been steam railroads Is so gradual, and the roads themselves make so little fuss about It, that tbe public 1B not in a position to realize the extent to which so marked a change in the application of power to transportation is being brought about. For example, it will be a surprise to most people, evei. within a comparatively short distance of New York, to learn that the Long Island railway already has 140 miles of electrically equlppped track in readiness for operation. It is expected that by the first of next February trains will be running directly from the Pennsylvania terminal at Seventh avenue and Thirty-fourth street, Manhattan, to Jamaica. It will not te long before the territory at the western end and along the north shore of Long Island will be inc:Uded in the througn service. Executive Recommends Leasing of . Valuable Privileges on Government Domain to Private Interests Under Conditions That Would Prevent Monopoly—Question of Fostering Soils Most Important- Reclamation and Irrigation of Arid Lands Also Treated Upon—Preservation of Our Forests. A London dispatch announces that Hermann Klein, who Is a teacher of singing in New York, has entertained an English audience with a lecture entitled "The Truth Ab-mt Music In America." Musical enthusiasm, he declared, Is largely a pose of American women. No musical educatlor exists in the country. Ragtime is really preferred to chamber music. American artists are only appreciated by their countrymen after they have achieved success elsewhere. Finally, he attacked the Btar system in opera, church music and concerts as it exists in the United States. The younger element among military and naval men will approve the condemnation of the existing organization of the military establishment of the United States by the board appointed several months ago to Institute comparisons between methods in this country and in Europe, and to make a report The report will rec ommend the establishment of an ad visory board with duties and powers similar to those of the British admiralty. A thorough reorganization of nary yard administration will also be advised. A wooden vessel 350 feet long over all will be launchea at Bath, Me, within two weeks. She will be the largest vessel of American registry, and probably one of the last wooden vessels of large size to be constructed in the United States. Steel has come to be the material for both steam and sail craft, the world over. In lesB than ten years' time every part of Central America will be in daily 1a,ich with the commercial world and the people peaceful and happy in all the provinces, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, with no fear of revolutions, political murders or official demands for their Uvea and their property. More irregularities have been discovered In the supply department of the German navy at Kiel. This time it is in the matter of meat that crookedness is alleged. Germany can no longer laugh at the revelations of irregularities In the French navy. Washington.—The president transmitted to congress a special message on the subject of the conservation of the nation's natural resources. In substance it was as follows: To the Senate und House of Representatives: In my annual message I reserred the subject of the conservation of our national resources for disposition In a special message, as follows: In several departments there is presented the necessity for legislation looking to the further conservation of our national resources, and the subject la one of such importance as to require a more detailed and extended discussion than can be entered upon in this communication. For that reason I shall take an early opportunity to send a special message to congress on the subject of the Improvement of our waterways; upon the reclamation and irrigation of arid, semi- Arid and swamp lands; upon the preservation of our forests and the re-foresting of suitable areas; upon the re-classification of the public domain with a view of separating from agricultural settlement mineral, coal and phosphate lands and sites belonging to the government bordering on streams suitable for the utilization of water power. In 1860 we had a public domain of 1,065,- »11,288 acres. We have now 731,364.081 acres, confined largely to the mountain ranges and the arid and semi-arid plains. We have, in addition, 368,035,975 acres of land in Alaska. Disbursement of Public Lands. The public lands were, during the earliest administrations, troated as a national asset for the liquidation of the public debt and as a source of reward for our soldiers and sailors. Later on they were donated in large amounts in aid of th« construction of wagon roads and railways, in order to open up regions in the west then almost Inaccessible. All the principal land statutes were enaoted more than a quarter of a century ago. The homestead act, the pre-emption and timber- culture act, the coal land and the mining acts were among these. Fraudulent Titles. The truth is that title to millions of acres of publie lands was fraudulently obtained and that the right to recover a large part of such lands for the government long plnce ceased by reason of statutes of limitations. There has developed In recent years a deep concern in the public mind respecting the preservation and proper use of our natural resources. This has been particularly directed toward the conservation of the resources of the public domain. A vast amount of discussion has appeared in the public prints in generalized form on this subject, but there has been little practical suggestion. It has been easy to say that the natural resources in fuel supply, in forests, in water power, and in other public utilities, must be saved from waste, monopoly, and other abuses, and the general public is In accord with this proposition, as they are with most truism*. The problem, however, is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and still develop, for no sane person can contend that it is for the common good that nature's blessings are only for unborn generations. Noteworthy Reforms. Among the most noteworthy reforms Initiated by my distinguished predecessor were the vigorous prosecution of land frauds and the bringing to public attention of the necessity for preserving the remaining public domain from further spoliation, for the maintenance and extension of our forest resources, and for the enactment of laws amending the obsolete statutes so as to retain governmental control over that part of the pub- He domain in which there are valuable deposits of coal, of oil, and of phosphate, and, in addition thereto, to preserve control, under conditions favorable to the public, of the lands along the streams In which the fall of water can be made to generate power to be transmitted in the form of electricity many miles to the point of its use, known as "water power" sites. The present statutes, except so far as they dispose of the precious metals and the purely agricultural lands, are not adapted to carry out the modern view of the best disposition of publie lands to private ownership, under conditions offering on the one hand sufficient inducement to private capital to take them over for proper development, with restrictive conditions on the other which shall secure to the public that character of control which will prevent a monopoly or misuse of the lands or their products. The power of the secretary of the interior to withdraw from the operation of existing statutes tracts of land, the disposition of which under such statutes would be detrimental to the public Interests, 1« not clear or satisfactory. This power has been exercised In the interest of the public, with thejiope that congress might affirm the action of the executive by laws adapted to the new conditions. Unfortunately, congress has not thus far fully aeted on theYecosamendattons of the executive, and the nutation as to what the eajcm,U«e Is to do is under the circumstances, rut} «| difficulty. It seems to me that It U the duty of oongress BOW, by a statute, to validate the withdrawal* whioj* nave been made by tbe secretary of the interior and the president and to use the secretary'of the Interior temporarV ily to withdraw lands pending submission to congress of recQuuneudaUons as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they arise. . Public Land Alone •treams. With respect to the public land which lies aleng the streams offering opportunity to convert water power Into transmissible electricity, .another important phase of the public land question is presented. There are valuable water power sites through all the public land states. The opinion Is held that the transfer of sovereignty from the federal government to the territorial govern m e n u a s they become states, included the water power In the rivers except s o far a s that owned by riparian proprietors. I do not think it necessary to g o Into discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to s a y that tbe man who owns and controls the land along the stream from which the power is to be converted and transmitted, owns land which Is indispensable to the conversion and use of that power. I cannot conceive bow -the power In streams flowing through public lands can bo made available at all except by using the land Itself as the site for the construction of the plant by which the power is generated and converted and securing a right of way thereover for transmission lines. Under these condition, If the government owns the adjacent land—indeed, if the government is the riparian owner—it may control the use of the water power by Imposing proper conditions on the disposition of the land necessary in tbe creation and utilization of the water power. Vslue of Water Power. The development in electrical appliances for the conversion of the water power into electricity to be transmitted long distances has progressed so far that it is no longer problematical, but It Is a certain Inference that In the future the power of the water falling In the streams to a large extent will take the place of natural fuels. In the disposition of the domain already granted, many water nower sites have come under absolute ownership, and may drift into one ownership, so that all the water'power under private ownership shall be a monopoly. If, however, the water power nitea now owned by the government—and there are enough of them—shall be disposed of to private persons for the Investment of their capital in such a way aa to prevent their union for purposes of monopoly with other water power sites, and under conditions that shall limit the right of use to not exceeding thirty years with renewal privileges and some equitable means of fixing terms of rental and with proper means for determining a reasonable graduated rental, it would seem entirely possible to prevent the absorption of these most useful lands by a power monopoly. As long as the government retains control and can prevent their improper union with other plants, competition must be maintained and prices kept reasonable. 8olls Must Be Conserved. In considering the conservation of the natural resources of the country, the feature that transcends all others, including woods, waters, minerals, Is the soil of the country. It is incumbent upon the government to foster by all available means the resources of the country that produce the food of the people. To this end the conservation of the soils of the country should be cared for with all means at the government's disposal. Their productive powers should have the attentlon^of our scientists that we may cortSewte^the new soils, improve the old soils, drain wet Boils, ditch swamp soils, levee river overflow soils, grow trees on thin soils, pasture hillside soils, rotate crops on all soils, discover methods for cropping dry land soils, find grasses and legumes for all soils, feed grains and mill feeds on the farms where they originate, that the eoils from which they come may be enriched. A work of the utmost Importance to inform and Instruct the public on this chief branch of the conservation of our resources is being carried on successfully in the department of agriculture; but it ought not to escape public attention that state action in addition to that of the department of agriculture (as for Instance in the drainage of swamp lands) is essential to the best treatment of the soils in the manner above Indicated. The act by which, in semi-arid parts of the public domain, the area of the homestead has been enlarged from ISO to 320 acres has resulted most beneficially in the extension of "dry farming" and in the demonstration which has been made of the possibility, through a 'variation in the character and mode of culture, of raising substantial crops without the presence of such a supply of water as has been heretofore thought to be necessary for agriculture. No one can visit the far west and the country of arid and semi-arid lands without being convinced that this is one of the most important methods of the conservation of our natural resources that the government has entered upon. It would appear that over 30 projects have been undertaken, and that a few of these are likely to bo unsuccessful because of lack of water, or for other reasons, but generally the work which has been done has been well done, and many important engineering problems have been met and solved. Funds inadequate for 8ervlce. One of the difficulties which has arisen is that too many projects in view of the available funds have been set on foot. The funds available under the reclamation statute are Inadequate to complete these projects within, a reasonable time. And yet the projects have been begun; settlers have been invited to take up atid. in many instances, have taken up. the public land within the projects, relying upon their prompt completion. The failure to complete the projects for their benefit Is, In- effect, a breach of faith and leaves them In a most distressed condition. I urge that the nation ought to afford the means to lift them out of the very desperate condition in whloh they now are. This condition does not indicate any excessive w s s t e or any corruption on the part of the reclamation service. It only indicates an over-eealoua desire to extend the benefit of reclamation to as many acres and as many states aa possible. I recommend, therefore., that authority be given to Issue, not exceeding $10,000,000 of bonds from time to time, as the secretary of the Interior shall find It necessary, the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the projects already begun and *w- ~&m 5 their proper extension, and the woods running tea years o t more to be taJua, up by the proceeds of ^returns to the reclamation fund, which returns, a a the years g o on, will increase rasidry la a m o u n t ' »•••.

June 8, 18ft, should be re* pealed and a law exacted for the dispo* sitlon ot the timber at pubUe axle, the lands after the removal of the timber to be subject to appropriation under the agricultural or mineral land laws. What I have said Is really an epitome ot the recommendations of the secretary of the Interior In respect, to the future conservation of the public domain in his present annual report He has given close attention to the problom of disposition of these lands under suoh conditions as to invite the private capital necessary to their development on the one hand, and the maintenance of the restrictions necessary to prevent monopoly and abuse from absolute ownership ort the other. These recommendations are incorporated in bills he has prepared, and they are a t the disposition ot the congress.'I earnestly recoraraeud that all the suggestions which he has made with respect to these lands shall be embodied in statutes and, especially, that the withdrawals already made shall be validated so far as neccesary and that doubt as to the authority of the secretary of the Interior to withdraw lands for the purpose of submitting recommendations as to future disposition of them where new legislation is needed shall be made complete and unquestioned. Disposition of Forest Reserves. The forest reserves. of the United State's, some 190,000,000 acres in.extent, are under the control of the department of agriculture, with authority adequate to preserve them and to extend their growth so far as that may be practicable. The importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated. The possibility of a scientific treatment of forests so that they shall be made to yield a large' return in timber without really reducing the supply has been demonstrated in other countries, and we should work toward the standard set by them as far as their methods are Applicable to our conditions. Improvement of River. I come now to the Improvement of the Inland waterways. He would be blind, indeed, who did not realise that the people of the far west, and especially those of the Mississippi valley, have been aroused to the need there Is for the improvement of our inland waterways. The Mississippi river, with the Missouri on the one hand and the Ohio on the other, would seem to offer a great natural means of interstate transportation and traffic. How far. if properly improved they would relieve the railroads or supplement them In fespect to the bulkier and cheaper commodities is a .matter of conjecture. No enterprise ought to be undertaken the cost of which is not definitely ascertained and the benefit and advantage of which are not known and assured by competent engineers and other authority. When, however, a project of a definite character for the Improvement of a waterway has been developed so that the plans have been drawn, the cost definitely estimated, and the traffic which will be accommodated is reasonably probable I think it Is the duty of congress to undertake the project and make provision therefor in the proper appropriation bill. One of the projects which answers the description I have given is that of introducing dams into the Ohio river from Pltt9burg to Cairo, so as to maintain at all seasons of the year, by slack water, a depth of nine feet. Upward of seven of these dams have already been constructed and six are under construction, while the total required is 60. The remaining cost is known to be $63,000,000, l^llfr TrW€ BETWgfN D0SIS. : > - . « ? • • * -r * «., : "> .

Although the survey of the past year's anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all, parts of the country indicate that this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number of patients that will be treated will be more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropriations have been made in the various municipalities for next year's antituberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,- 500. In addition to these appropriations over $4,000,000 has been set aside by the different state legislatures for the campaign against tuber culosis tuis year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present exist* ing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily.

I assume from reliable information that It can be constructed economically in ten years. I recommend, therefore, that the public lands, in river and harbor bills, make provision for continuing contracts to complete this Improvement, and I shall recommend in the future, if it be necessary, that bonds be issued to carry it through. - What has been said of the Ohio river Is true in a less complete way of the Improvement of the upper Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis t6 a constant depth of six feet, and of the Missouri, from Kansas City to St. Louis to a constant depth of six feet and from St. Louis to Cairo of a depth of eight feet. These project* have been pronounced practical by competent boards of army engineers, their cost has been estimated and there is business which will follow the Improvement. As these improvements are being made, and the traffic encouraged by them shows itself of sufficient Importance, the improvement of tbe Mississippi beyond Cairo down to the gulf, which Is now going on with the maintenance of a depth of nine feet everywhere, may be changed to another and greater depth If the necessity for it shall appear to arise out ot the traffic which can be delivered on the river at Cairo. Cheap Rail Rate Necessary. I am informed that the investigation by the waterways commission In Europe shows that the existence of a waterway by no means assures traffic unless there is traffic adapted to water carriage at cheap rates at one end or the other ef the stream. It also appears in Europe that the depth of the streams is rarely more than six feet, and never more than nine. But it is certain that enormous Quantities of merchandise are transported over the rivers and canals in Germany and France and England, and it Is also certain that the existence of such methods of traffic materially affects the rates which the railroads charge, and ft is the best regulator of those rates that we have, not even excepting the gaxammental regulation through the Interstate commerce commission. For this reason, I hope that this congress will take such steps that It may be called the inaugurator of the new system of inland waterways. For reasons which tt is not necessary here to state, congrsss has seen fit to order an Investigation into the interior department and the forest service of the agricultural department. The results of that investigation are not needed to determine the value of, and the necessity for, t h s new legislation which I have recommended In respect to the public lands and In respect to reclamation. X earnestly urge that the measures be taken tip and disposed of promptly without awaiting the investigation which has determined upon, Evidently 8o.

SYNOPSIS, le story opens with the Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was.hiding. At his hojtel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunk*n officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. CHAPTER Ill—Continued. I walked the floor twice from wall to wall, thinking swiftly, the sodden cigar clinched tightly between my teeth. I could perceive no reason why the deed might not be accomplished •If lucjc favored, and I was sufficiently young so that the danger rather appealed than repelled. Suddenly I wheeled and faced him, still seated at the table. "You may fill out the blank, senor," I announced, quietly. "I will try a throw of the dice." at C I M M I pointing .upon' the roocfe. tatrlat. Indeed, » wild, hilarious mob ftpefcd m « loudly M 1 pressed aside Usjl k)«tvy curtain sod stepped within.

Faith, It was a choice collection, as though the wide waters of the world bad been skimmed to bring together that rare crew of beauties. Perched high upon a table, bis Jk>ng legs encased in sea boots, seated astride a chair, sat the singer, his mop of coarse red hair standing erect, his Jaw that of a bulldog, the scar of a recent kriife wound showing, ghastly across one cheek, his blue shirt open at the throat to reveal a hairy chest; beneath thatched brows his eyes glinted and gleamed in a ferocious attempt at good humor. "Blng, ye bullies!1' he roared, after one Inquiring glance toward me, bringing his heavy glass down on the back of the chair. "Lay it out fer the gent, wtmt has just come calUn' on ye.

The polite hotel clerk halted me as I passed his desk on the way out with information that a drunken naval officer— evidently Sanchez—had been there twice already seeking me, had also asked for Lord Darlington, and would return again at ten o'clock. I thanked him, smiling to myself, wondering if the English nobleman was to be challenged also, and promptly disappeared into the night without. The unfortunate affair with the aggrieved lieutenant had become a small matter no longer troubling me. I have wandered by night through most of the seaports of the world, knowing well the intricacies and dark places of Port Said, Melbourne and Calcutta, but I doubt if even the unspeakable orient can equal for dirt, squalor, crime and peril those narrow, crooked alleyways where sailors most do congregate against the Valparaiso water-front. Here gather in bestial rioting the scum of the South seas, and here flourish their parasites. Any night a trip alone through those foul lanes Is of the kind to test strong nerves; but on this special occasion, the way filled with pandemonium and drunkenness, the entire city a riot of noisy violence, the populace aroused to fierce hate toward all foreigners, the passage was one of constantly recurring danger. The street lights, few and far between, were mere blotches of color winking feebly at the surrounding darkness, the rough cobblestone pavement underfoot was irregular and deceitful, while drunken crowds, either quarrelsome or maudllngly affectionate, surged aimlessly about, gesticulating and yelling with Latin fervor. However. I knew the way well, and kept myself hidden from observation by hovering close beneath the protecting shadows of the buildings, drawing well h:\ck within doorways to permit the noiser parties of velers to pass, and then hurrying _ ward along the deserted streets. 1 ^^pumbled over the body of more than %ne drunken man, while sounds of Quarreling were borne to me through the open door of every low taproom I passed.

It was a ramshackle, wooden affair, sagging sadly at one corner, the half dozer stepB leading to tVe open door being only dimly lighted. As it was a wellknown resort, frequented almost entirely by foreign seamen who would scarcely be safe on the streets such a night as this, it was no surprise to dlscovero the taproom densely crowded .with sailor-men, and to distinguish- m voice singing Justify in vigorous tUiglish, to an accompaniment' Tuttle Wheeled and Stared, His Jaw Working Savagely. ing his glass; "but I've got a chorus ye'll sing or fight me, an' dam' If I care much which.

In Barbaree, in Barbareo The men lie mute, Hf» has the loot, He found in Bnrbaree. They were still at it, the motley, mongrel crew, their hoarse, drinkthickened voices roaring out lines full of the fierce swing of the deep sea, their glasses pounding in unison on the tables, as I pushed my way through them up to the sloppy bar and faced the fellow standing behind. "Is there a Yankee whaleman here by the name of Tuttle?" I asked. He stared at me, his eyes squinting, while the wild chorus began to die away like a clock run down. "Bill, whars Cap" Tut'?" he called out finally. "Here's a cove wants hhn." The red-headed giant, perched aloft on the chair, flung one hand indifferently across his shoulder toward the rear of the room. "Come on again, mates," he roared. "Another drink, and another song. Spit it out this time—'Swing hard! Bend low!'" "He's yonder In the back room; through that door, mate," said the bartender, shortly. "Better not tread on any of the lads* feet goin' in, unless maybe ye're here to-night, huntin' trouble. They're just 'bout drunk enough now to be ready to start a row." I picked my way with caution, the fierce lilt of that devils' chorus stunning my ears, the hairy faces confronting me scowllngly suggestive of any c r ! # \ Saint Andrew! I thought soberly, if this was still the day of pirates here was * brood ready for hatching. With a feeling of positive ellef 1 pressed open the heavy wooden door, stepped within and closed it carefnlly behind me. So tightly fitting and solid the wood It instantly shut out completely the mad >riot of the barroom. It was like coming into a new world. Two men sat alone at a small, round table smoking, between them a short-necked black boute with glasses, and a scattered deck of greasy cards. The one nearest where I stood, tali, long-Umbed, angoja* hi* facet thfat and made to appear more a*v from a sandy chin-whisker, bad hit knees swung over the ana of bis chair, a bald spot on the, top of hit head shinlag ooasplcoousiy beneath tha rars of the iamfc. His oompanjan Was considerably yomigar, somewBaf trim of buiht, with black, curling hair, and small mustaches carted - upward at the tips. He was of a complexion to make- me think him either a ereole £r quadroon, but with smiling lips and % light in his merry eyes beepeakiag a temperament of food humor; "Capt. Eli Tuttle?" I questioned, doubtfully. •• The older man slowly deposited his feet on the floor and stood up. He was a trifle round-shouldered, attired la a black frock coat which dangled to the knees, and his eyes-of cold gray narrowed into mere slits as he inspected me with undisguised suspicion. "The spirit which for 70 years hath made answer to that earthly name still abideth within this fleshly body," he responded solemnly, in a voice seemingly from the very pit of his stomach. "I am still permitted to sail the seas, thus known to the children, of men, awaiting in patience the hour of translation." To be greeted thus in such a spot stunned me for the instant, my cheeks flushing as I read undisguised amusement in the upturned face of the Creole. My teeth shut together hard. "You are Eli Tuttle, then, formerly master of the whaling bark Betsy?" "Even so, young man," his lean face perfectly emotionless, his long fingers outspread flat on the table. "Eli Tuttle of New Bedford, once the chief of sinners, but now communing with the higher life of the spirit world. Associate me not with yonder ungodly crew, blind to the truth of the beyond," and he snapped his fingers softly toward the closed door. "In this world saints and sinners must indeed mingle bodily, yet not in any communion of spirit. It was for peaceful meditation that friend De Nova and I deserted yonder scene of revelry and sought this secluded spot. Truly the good book saith that where one or two are gathered together in his name there is he also in the midst of them." The Creole laughed outright, smiling the table smartly with his palm. "Sit down, mate!" he exclaimed, genially, kicking up a chair. "After 5rou know zis ol' hypocrite as well as I do, his communion viz spirits won't bozzef you much. Help yourself to drink, an' wash the taste out you' mouth." Tuttle wheeled about and stared at his companion, his thin jaw working savagely; but the Creole went on rolling a cigarette indifferently between his brown fingers, his white teeth gleaming. I remained standing, my hand on the back of the chair, intently studying the pair. "I come directly from Don Castillo," I said, quietly, facing the Yankee, and determined to get down to business, "and desire to speak with you alone." His glinting eyes narrowed perceptibly, and his jaws crunched down upon the tobacco in his cheek. " Tis safe enough with him," he acknowledged rather ungraciously, his voice becoming nasal as he pointed his chin-beard toward the other. "De Nova Is second officer." I drew back the chair and sat down, realizing that I now possessed the attention of both. "I have been appointed to assume Capt. Castelar's duties," I announced quietly. "Do either of you care to examine my papers?" Tuttle Bpat silently into the sawdust, while De Nova exhibited his white teeth in a grin. The eyes of the two men met. "I rather guess your papers won't cut much ice in this yere affair," returned the former with deliberate insolence, "being as how we don't either of us g J ^ f c t W ^ t i n * tor ,5era, If if you'll paldod my sayia* so plainly." His maak.- bad . disappeared as by magic, and I realised instantly the real nature of, t i p men* "Y^g mean ,BO oattstmaot km bean made, .either by yon, ft the men under your' "That's lust,aboot the aUe of it, mister," his tone full of unconcealed contempt. U s leg flung once again over the arm of the chair. "We agreed to do this one particular "job fer a certain consideration, but we're none of as-Peruvian sailor-men, and consequently don't give a hang for yonr papers. Ain't that about it. De Nova?" The ereole nodded, still smiling pleasantly, the blue smoke curling lastly up from the end of his cigarette. Evidently the two were actively engaged in taking my measure, and this was to be a case of man against man, rather than the exercise of any delegated authority. I might as well throw my commission into the fire for any real value it possessed here. All right; I had met and attended to their kind before. "I am delighted to understand the situation so clearly and quickly," I said, Bharply, throwing a note of authority into my voice and manner. "It simplifies my task. Now listen to me, Mr. Tuttle," giving him his formal title, "and you likewise, De Nova. I probably care as little for those papers as either of. you, but, nevertheless, 1 am in command. Do you both clearly comprehend that?—I am in command! It will be just as well for you n°t to attempt any horse-play. I am no dago sea-officer, but a North American sailor, and I didn't come crawling Into my first ship through a cabin window. I've tamed mutinous crews before now, and when I'm up against sea-scum I can hit as hard as the next fellow. If either of you desire to test my qualities as a buckomate, I'm here to accommodate you." Neither answered, but I read their conclusion in their eyes. "That's all I need to say now," I went on. "It's up to you to fish or cut bait. You fellows have nothing to gain by opposing me, and I hope you possess sense enough to know it. De Nova, where have I ever met you before?" The Creole's face instantly brightened again, his white teeth gleaming under the black mustache. "So monsieur remember," he lisped gently, leaning forward on the table. "I thought maybe you forget altogether 'bout zat time. But I know you at once w'en you come In. It make me laugh to see zis Yankee try bait you like you was a dago steamboater. Bah, I know you all right for sailor-man; I know you do business." "But I am unable to place you." "No, not yet; maybe you will w'en I say more." He spoke rapidly, gesticulating with excitement. "It was a little ship off Hatteras; ze storm five days, an' all wreck. It was a steamer, w'ite, wiss red stacks, zat took off ze crew, an' it was hell of a job. Zat was ze story, monsieur; I was mate of ze Cymbellne." I knew him then instantly, my memory picturing anew tha cold, gray dawn, the green, angry seas, the helpless, sodden hulk heaving sickenlngly to its death, and those water-drenched forms we hauled over the sinking rail into our tossing boat. I held forth my hand, and his brown fingers, hard as Iron, closed over it In a grip to be felt. "Sure, it's come back, mate," I said. "I rather guess I can count on you." His dark eyes met mine in frank honesty. "Running arms for the Cuban revolutionists then, weren't you?" I asked, indifferently. "What since?" He shrugged his shoulders, glancing across at Tuttle, and Angering his mustache. (TO BE CONTINUED.) No Compromise With Truth * - Absoluts Sincerity in AM Things Marks Men of Standing. Sincerity is made up of two words —sine and cere—sine, without, and cere, wax; without wax. And it means absolutely pure, transparent. The human mind is constructed for truth telling. This is its normal condition, and under the exercise of true living and true thinking the character becomes strong and robust Wholeness, completeness, comes into the life from truth, from sincerity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expressing deceit it becomes abnormal and works all sorts of harm to the character. I have in mind a very brilliant writer who exobanges hts talent for cash in political campaigns. He has written some of the best campaign documents for all politics] parties, but the lack of sincerity in his character so discounts his personality and ability that he has no standing as a man. £.« is recognised a% a brilliant writer, but as a man totally without convictions. There is something in the mind itself which thrives upon sincerity and which protests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing ever quite satisfies this longing but absolute truth. The mind quickly becomes sickly and weak when forced to express what is false.—Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. Doesn't Attract. Peleg Haw vows we ain't had no cold weather to speak of since he bought a thermometer. "Well." declared Deacon Cripes, "Peleg oughter know that a thermometer won't act like a lightning rod."—Puck.

SETTLEMENT. Recent advices from Canada, our neat door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the vacant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand settlers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, "they are satisfied." Nothing attracts people, more than the success of others, and. the news of this reaching other thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this, case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing demand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent In a position to supply it. Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceivable contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it Is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Government Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would suit him best.

Figures -on Telegraph and Telephone, Express and Car Companies Also Made Public—Total State Tax S5V 929,304.89. Saturday morning the tentative assessment of railroad companies was announced, and It is generally expected that for the next tew weeks the tax commission will be compelled to entertain clamoring: railroad representatives who have tales of woe to relate* and seek to have the valuation reduced. It Is safe to say that the kicks will be loud and long in nearly every instance, as the assessments have .been tilted considerably above last year's figures. Last year the assessed valuation of the railroad companies amounted to 1207,305,000, while this year's figures show it to be $214,190,000, an increase of 16,885,000. The average rate per $1,000 In 1908 was $18,005, while for 1909 it Is $20.67, an increase of $2,- 665. There has been an Increase in the state tax over 1908 of $1,754,971.09. In 1907 it was $4,886,742.37, and in 1908 it was $4,194,333.80. This year the figures are $5,929,304.89. The assessed valuation of real estate has increased $32,490,341 over a year ago, and of personal property $5,993,945. The Ann Arbor railroad Is assessed at $7,700,000, which is a reduction of $31,000; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $3,875,000. an Increase of $75,- 000; Chicago & Northwestern, $11,- 950,000, an increase of $100,000; Copper Range, $2,600,000, an increase of $7,000; Detroit & Mackinac. $4,600,000, sn Increase of $35,000; Grand Rapids & Indiana remains the same, $11,000,- 000; Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, $18,637,000, an increase of $750,- 000; Michigan Central, $54,550,000. an increase of $2,947,500; Pere Marquette, $31,025,000, an increase of $2,325,000; Mipneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, $6,650,000, an increase of $25,000; Duluth, South Shore & At'antic. $9,- C00,000, a decrease of $75,000; Grand Trunk. $25,050,000, an increase of $350,000. MICHIGAH BRIEFS. Drys Win In Kent County. There will be a local option election in Kent county in April. Final and decisive settlement of this question was reached when the supervisors, by a vote of 36 to 9, adopted a resolution that an election be held according to the demand of the Bigners of the local option petitions. The sentiment of the board was ascertained when a vote was taken on the question of adopting the minority report, It was evident that the drys predominated, and the vote stood 28 to 17 in favor of accepting the report. This was the true test, for when the vote was taken on the subject of submission many switched their votes and Jumped on the prohibition band wagon. Few Claims on the Fund. Tn the state treasury there is $98,- 450, known as state bounty fund, which was created by an act of the legislature of 1891, and originally contained $100,000. The appropriation was made for the purpose of paying claims against the state, dating from the beginning of the civil war,„ but apparently there are only a few of these which have been presented to the auditor-general. as the fund has not been touched since May, 1907, when $200 was paid out. Before the legislature of 1891 ereated the bounty fund accounts were paid from the general fund upon the approval of the auditor-general, but 'the lawmakers decided that It would be a better plan to create a special fund, and they placed It sufficiently high so that It would never be overdrawn. Many of the entries made in the ledger page used for the purpose prior ito 1891 contain many interesting accounts. In 1887 a bill was paid for a team of oxen which was killed by a train, transporting a company of volunteers to Detroit. It is probable that unless more iwoads are made upon this fund during the next few years, It will be erased from the ledger and again placed In the general fund. Would Make Corporations Pay. A suggestion will be made at the next legislature by the state railroad commission for an amendment to the law giving the commission supervisory power over the public service corporations, which will require that class of corporations to aid in the maintenance of the department. It Is proposed that, when a corporation asks for the authority to issue stocks and bonds and an investigation of the project Is necessary that the interested corporation be required to pay a eertain sum to cover the cost of the investigation.

LAMPHERE CONFESSED. helped Mrs. Qunness to Kill and Bury Her Victims. • Ray Xarophera, who died recent!J n the Indiana penitentiary at. Michigan City, whl'e serving * term for letting fire to the home of Mrs, Belle 3unnesi, near Laporte, Ind., and canning the death of the arch-niurderett, her three children and a hired girl, left a confession that he had been an accomplice of the vch-murdareea who lured 20 men to her home under promise of marriage, robbed them and then killed them, burying their bodies In her grounds. Lamphere's confession, which is published in the Post' Dispatch, wan made as he lay at the point of death. He said he assisted Mrs. Gunneen in disposing of the bodies of three of her many victims. Lamphere said he saw one of the men killed ana that he aided in burying all three. These men were Andrew Helgeleln and probably Ole Budsberg and Tonness Petersen Lien. Lamphere said be thought be had received as much money for his part in disposing of the bodies as he considered himself entitled to and that he went to the farmhouse at night with a woman, chloroformed Mrs. Gunness, her three children and Jennie Olson, the hired girl, and robbed the house of between $60 and $70. The light they used was a candle and they left the house without know* lng they had left behind a spark that soon burst into flames. Mrs. Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was to first chloroform them as they slept and then, if the drug did not itself kill, to sever their heads with an ax.

The small ftoyg squirmed wildly tinder elhows to ,equint an eye against a crack or a foeffcox glass. Then the slide of the general delivery window ; was pushed up, suddenly revealing in a sJohVof light the head an4.shoulders or a young woman. It was a startling frame for any face; that of the girl dealing-out letters might have .nested as an Illuminated saint of the modern art This girl looked a dreamer, an Idealist, a soul In its last chrysalis, and not for a- moment the postmistress of a Missouri village, almost within sight of the smoke of Kansas City. Yet she. was horn and bred there, and her little journey into the world had been no further than to St Louis. Her father, Attorney Culver, had been a gentleman, a scholar, and a procrastinating lawyer, with a mania for taking the measurement of his clients' heads and deducing their ancestral race. When her mother, who had been a patient Invalid, died, the father followed, erratically, as was his went, his last thought a belief that his doctor's head showed distinct tracery of the tribes of northern Asia. No provision was left The judge secured for her the modest government office. Her name was Catharine. Above all other traits was her comprehensive and sensitive intuition that la the flower of simple living and the sometime gift of grief. The first rush to the window expended Itself precipitately, the bulk of the mall was soon distributed, and the crowd thinned gradually away. Then the door opend again and a man entered. He stalked up to the window/ He was big, he was blocked out In angular lines, as the- muscular Britisher is; he was red and bronzed, somewhat bulbous eyed;, his clothes were a mystery of rough tweed. When he spoke, his voice was a pleasant scenic railway of English inflections. "Br—have yon anything for Capt Graceland—er—I should say, Capt. Vivian Oraceland?" "QrAceland—er-—Q, you know," the man said patiently. She was studying the B*s. She-smiled frankly. A sense of humor brings its own self-possession. "It might have been H, the way f the English apell names," she replied, impulsively. "How did you know I was English?" The question was humorous. She glanced through the letters quickly. "There Is nothing for you," she anwered, decisively. He felt a rebuke. - "Thanks," he said, raising his hat slightly, and stalked out "Have you got anything for m e f It was the HigginsvlUe voice. She thought Jrfje could measure the Infinite difference between this and the other. i , "Not to-night, Jim." 1 "You haven't looked." The Hlgginsville voice bent Itself to near a woman's gentleness. Catharine took the mail once more. She found a letter for Jim Wilson. He lingered a jnomest, then left, twinging away with the Inevitable grace of a'great strength and a glorious youth. When Catharine closed the office and started home, she mef him going in the same direction, and he guarded her to her gate. He had waited an hour In the cold for this.

Several times be went to Texas, to S t Louis, to Kansas City, but he returned with as little, delay as possible. He sent Catharine books and boxes of roses. She had never owned anything so lovely in her life. Then he went up to Kansas City for a week. Telegrams came for him, which Jim's best friend received with long and tuneless whistles, it got about somehow— such news invariably' does, and in Higginsville a telegram and a postal card were public property. A crowd in the postofflce discussed it before mail opened. "It never would er been found out on him, if he hadn't been dealin' with er Missouri fool 'at hadn't no more sense than to tellygraf him about it." ' "He's er plum rascal, that's the truth." "That is not true." The side door of the mallroom opened. Catharine stood in the threshold, breathless. There was a heavy quiet. "No, howdy you know?" asked Cy Baker. "Because he is a gentleman, not a thief; because I am his only friend \ here, and must speak for him," she replied. "No, he ain't ccme 'round you fer no good; we seen that all the time," put in another woman. "What's hisl intentions towards you, I'd like to know?" "I think there can be no doubt of my Intentions to Miss Culver, when I state that I asked her last night to be my wife." The Englishman had entered. His voice was the cold, polished tool of the world. Catharine raised her face and looked at him unseeingly. Then she shut the door and delivered the evening mall. He was waiting for her when she had finished, and without a word led her to the yellow bluff along the river. A silver Blip of moon hung over the girdling distances beyond. "I have not been true to much in my life," he said, after a tense pause. His eyes were looking past all springtime. "But I will be true now to you. I have been—culpably weak—I care for you, you know—I am not free to ask you to give me yourself. I am married." "I understand," she answered—each pause widened the boundaries between them—"it was a kind lie at the last. I thank you for it, and for the truth. Good-by." Jim found her at home an hour later. "'Thrine," he said, "I've come to ask you if you're goin' away." "No, I am not going," she answered thoughtfully. **I did believe this wasn't the place for you, somehow," he continued, "you always seemed to me like a white rose it an old brown clay bowl, here. } have loved you ever since the first time I noticed the blue of the sky ah^ the green of the trees, an' everything that was good in me has followed the, whisper of your name.

Curious to state, prejudice keep* us out of more good things than does lack of opportunity. We often pass by an article of merit because the price is low. The same article at double the price would find us eager to try It. K C Baking Powder sella for one-third thf price of the Baking Powders controlled by the "Trust." Yet K C is guaranteed the Best Baking Powder at any price. The ladies of this city who have seen what K C Baking Powder will do prefer It to any other. They are only too glad to save their money and get a better article. It's the difference hetween "Trust" prices and those ot fair, honest competition. A 26 ounce can of K C Baking Powder fof 25 centa,—and your money returned if you don't like it better.

FINCKNKT. - - - MICHIGAN USES OF A COLLEGE. Whatever critics may nay to the contrary, it never was and probably never will be the purpose of the standard college to train young men for business, says Boston Globe. Colleges do not even train men for the professions. There are professional schools tor that purpose, and in the days when no such schools existed medicine was taught In the offices of physicians and law in the offices of lawyers, just as business was and still Is taught in places of business. Colleges were not instituted to make physicians nor to make lawyers. Neither were they instituted to train men for business. Schools for special training have multiplied rapidly the world over. Even business schools are not lacking, although the business school which shall be in fact a post-graduate one to a regular academic course has not yet arrived. Meauwhile the commercial college or business scaool is doing excellent work. There is no reason why it should not be expanded as the professional and technical schools have been. Meanwhile let the idealist still cherish his dream of a college devoted to the cultivation of a lofty ethical standard, the propagation of knowledge, the fostering of the arts and the dissemination of the spirit of fraternity. As an indication of the strength of the pure food movement In the direc tion of sanitation, it is stated by the health commissioner of New York city that 10,783 tons of food were ordered destroyed by his department during the past year. This ought to be pleasing to consumers, who are paying enough for supplies at the present time to entitle them to articles that will stand inspection. Oyster consumers will be pleased to learn that the New York ^health department has established close supervision of the oyster supply, particularly as to the socalled "drinks" In which oysters are put prior to being packed for the markets. These "drinks" are all charted with relation to the sewerage outlets, and a card index is kept of the sources of supply of all dealers. It is only by supervision of this kind that conscienceless oyster dealers can be preventeu from "freshening" their stock in brackish water concerning whose purity there is serious question. Abdul Hamid, the deposed Bultan of Turkey, is reported to be writing a book. If the volume should tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the ex-sultan's long and eventful reign it should readily take high rank among the "best sellers." Hut if books are to be written by all the "exes" why would it not be a good idea for Abdul Hamid, the exshSh of Persia, Castro of Venezuela, and a fow more of that class to form a Bynclicate, pool" their Issues, hammer out a whole lot of entertaining literature And make their everlasting fortunes? Or have they already achievedg the fortunes? "Boys will be boys," but there are some things done by boys which show a perversion of high spirits and cannot be excused on the plea of boyish prankishness. At Trenton, N. J., a fair nights ago boys tied a rope across a sidewalk after dark, and William Steinmetz, a blacksmith, tripping on the rope, while on his way home, fell heavily to the pavement, fractured his skull, and was picked up dead. The Trenton police are unable to identify the boys who tied the rope. It is a good practice for policemen everywhere to keep an eye on every boy gang that frequents the streets after dark.

BRICK RESIDENCE DEMOLISHED BY EXPLOSION OF ACETYLENE QA8 PLANT, MAN BURIED IN RUINS. Wife, Two Bablss and Bitter Flee; All Injured and One Little One Dies; Other One is Not Expected to Live. An explosion wrecked the brick residence of Scott Parker, one niile north of Moscow, a village on a Lake Shore branch in the extreme northern end of Hillsdale county, killing Parker and one of his children and injuring his wife and child, also an aunt of the children who lived with the family. Three other children of the family were out of the house. The dead body of Parker was dug out of the ruins. The second injured child la believed to be dying. From reports that are coming in from the excited farmers of that vicinity it appears that Parker went down cellar shortly after the three older children had left home for school. "He went down there to fill the tank of the acetylene gas plant," is what Mrs. Parker says: The acetylene plant evidently exploded. Mrs. Parker, the children, Louise, aged 6, and Nellie, 3, and the aunt, Parker's sister, were In the living room when there was a loud report in the cellar, the house floor heaved up, and then the walls began to fall in on them. The two women grabbed each a child and scrambled across the caving floor to an outer door and escaped, juBt as the avalanche of bricks descended on them. It was their prompt flight that saved their lives. As it waa, Mrs. Parker suffered a broken leg and cuts on the head, and both of the children had both arms and legs broken. Nel'ie died. The aunt received lesser Injuries. Nearby neighbors heard the explosion and the news spread with the rapidity of a message conveyed by the wireless telegraph. In a brief interval there was a crowd at the scene of the wreck. It was a wreck, for the entire brick house had tumbled in ruins into the cellar. Big Year in Iron and Steel. The tremendous activity that is expected in the movement of Lake Superior iron ores is indicated by the announcement that the steel corporation has chartered vessels to move 15,000,000 tons, while It will move about 12,000,000 tons in its own vessels, this making the immense tonnage of 27,000,000 tons for the leading Interest. It is confidently expected that independent interests will move 28,000,000 tons, making a grand total ef 50,000,000 tons. Ore freight rates have been advanced five cents per ton, and the charges paid by vessels for unloading have been reduced five cents per ton, so that on a basis of a movement of 50,000,000 tons, vessels will have receipts of $5,000,000 greater than under the schedule of last year of ore freights In unloading charges. A very heavy volume of inquiry for pig Iron Is pending in the central west,- and some orders of good size have been taken. Specifications for finished products are running In a very, satisfactory volume to makers, although in tubular and wire goods conditions are rather quiet because buyers are very comfortably fixed with stocks on hand. Orders against contracts in sheets are probably of the largest volume. &-TPW*?- STATE BRIEFS.

That he was threatened on peril of his life to secure 110,000 and leave it at Main and Gorham streets for two parties In Chicago is the story told by Ray Horseman, the $8-a-week dry goods clerk, who has confessed that he tried to extort an equal sum from C. C. Bloomfleld, of Jackson, by means of a "black hand" letter. Young Horseman admits everything In connection with the case, but he declares that he was the victim of Chicago black-handers and that he concocted the extortion of Mr. Bloomfield as a method of procuring the money. <*The letters he received, he says, he has torn up. The police are inclined to doubt his story, inasmuch as other evidence in the case tends to show that he was alone in the plot. It is barely poesible that Ray got mixed up with a gang of blackmailers during his visits to Chicago. Live Clean Lives. "Cut out the saloons; lead a clean fife; keep your conversation clear; put your ideals of everyday life high; maintain a distinct reverence and belief in religion; have a philosophy of life and Hve up to it." . These are the precepts that Harry B. Hutchlns, president of the University of Michigan, laid down to a large audience of men students in telling them how they can build up character and thus do their duty toward the state that is furnishing them an 0¾ portunlty to gain a higher education. The largest attendance in the history of the organisation is the record set by the Michigan Millers' association, which held the annual meeting this week is Lansing. met corporation, has leased 709 acres of land near Kirby, in Shiawassee county, and operations for coal mining will be started soon. It la stated,that a vein three feet thiok is located on the property. Prof. William J. Hussey* head of the astronomical department at the Ann Arbor university, reports that a very bright comet has been sighted. He states that it waa traveling towards the sun. This is supposed to be the same one that was sighted by astronomers in South Africa on January 17. R. L. Lamont, an alumnus of the engineering department at Ann Arbor, has donated gifts to the university which will total $20,000. They include a plot of ground adjoining the observatory, money to begin work on a 24-inch refracting telescope, and $2,- 000 worth of tools for the engineering department. - Michigan won and lost in debates on the resolution that "The United States has shown that a protective tariff.should continue to be a national policy." The affirmative team defeated Northwestern university team at Ann Arbor, and the men taking the negative side were beaten by the University of Chicago team in that city. At the meeting of the state board of auditors at Lansing a total of 508 claims were allowed. While the amounts of claims did not reach aa large a total as on previous days, nearly $50,000 was paid out. The board also gave permission to the state threshermen to use representative hall for their annual convention, which occurs on March 30 and 31. Simplicity is to be the slogan of Adrian high school's next graduating class, for the girls of '10 have adopted a resolution fixing on simple white for all functions pretaining to commencement. Each young lady is limited to one white gown, and is pledged to wear no hat at the baccalaureate exexercises, the event at which the millinery displays were wont to be made In former years. The special committee on plans for a life insurance department for the state grange, is at work at Lansing. It is proposed to insure grange members from 14 to 45 from $250 to $2,000. The organization has now sufficient help to handle the increased business without trouble, and as the farmer is a long-lived person it is believed that the proposed insurance department will be a success. The electric railroad meeting at Cold water, in response to a call from Mayor Sherman, brought out 500 men. The subject under discussion was the proposed line between Coldwater and Battle Crrek, for which the citizens of Coldwater are asked to raise $6,- 000. A committee wa8 appointed and nearly $2,000 was subscribed at the meeting. It is planned to run the road over the old Coldwater-Mansfleld roadbed. It is believed at Marquette that the explosion of dynamite which cost the life of one miner and seriously injured four others, and destroyed the "dry house" at the Carey mine recently, was the result of a plot, though the motive for such a crime is a mystery, as the men are working on a friendly agreement with the company. Investigation shows that the explosive was placed at five different places under the building. The Bellevue council, through President Brockett, has started suit against three of the aldermen to show cause why they have not attended recent council meetings. Some time ago a proposition concerning lighting came up and the council be came divided. Since that time the men have never attended, although they have handed in their resignations, which could not be accepted without a full board. Word has reached Mackinac Island of the death, in Fort Smith, Ark., of Dr. John A. Bailey, 77. state park commissioner, and one of the beat known physicians in northern Michigan. He was a graduate of the U. of M. and during the civil war served as a surgeon in a Missouri regiment. He came to Mackinac Island soon after the war and did much toward developing the place into the beautiful natural park it now is. Because of the action of the state veterinary board In revoking the license of Dr. A. P. Hart, of Battle Creek, it looks as though the entire class of 13 who graduated from the Grand Rapids Veterinary c o l l i e in March. 19OS, would he required to at tend school six months more or give up their practice in this state. It IF %aid that Hart and the others attended only two six-months' terms, when the law requires that they shall spend 18 months in school • • • * • BROKEN R A I L T H H O W t CANADIAN .; PACIFIC T R A I H iNT4> BPANlBM .

Most terrible of all, maimed and injured, caught in the wreckage of one of the cars, were burned to death. The exact number of dead and in* Jured was still unknown, but according to stories told by injured passengers brought to Sudbury it waa one of the worst catastrophes in the history of Canadian railroads. The train wrecked was known as No. 7, en route from Montreal to Sault Ste. Marie and Minneapolis. An official statement given out saya that it probably was due to a broken rail. Front Cars Stay on TracMi The engine, baggage, express, mall and one second class car remained on the rails, while one second class, one first class, a dining car and a sleeper went down the embankment. The first class car and diner went into the river. The sleeper and second class car stopped on the embankment, the second class car catching fire. The wreck occurred about 37 miles west of Sudbury, where the tracks cut into the Bide of a steep hill which is skirted by the river, The forward part of the train passed over the break, whatever It was, in safety. The day coach, which was the fourtto from the end of the-train, was the first to leave the rails. The train was running at the rate of about 40 miles an hour and the momentum carried the car down the hill in a terrific plunge. About 25 passengers were in this car, and it is practically certaix that none eecaped. Only the Roof Above Water. Two minutes after the first crash, only the roof of the day coach showed above the flowing ice in the river. The second class car, the next In the train, smashed against the end of a culvert and was crushed to splinters. Some of the passengers were killed outright, but others caught in the wreckage, which almost immediately broke into flames, were roasted to death before they could be rescued. Uninjured passengers and trainmen Immediately turned their attention to the rescue of passengers imperiled by the fire. The telegraph lines were all torn down and it was evident that relief could not be summoned by wire. It was five miles to the village of Nairn, and a drenched survivor ran the distance to deliver a report of the wreck at the Canadian Pacific depot. Meanwhile Conductor Thomas Reynolds was proving himself a hero in rescuing eight passengers from the sunken dining car. When the wreck occurred, Reynolds, with W. J. Bell and David Brodie, had just sat down for an early dinner, Bell and Brodie facing the engine and Reynolds sitting opposite them and riding backwards. The diner was the last car. to enter the water and did not sink at once, but settled slowly, while the passengers climbed upon-the tables to keep their heads above the rising waterB. With several passengers standing in water to their chins, the situation was desperate. Then it was that Conductor Reynolds made a dive to reach a window, broke the glass and succeeded in rising to the surface of the river, outside the car. Happily, he reached the surface where a hole in the ice enabled him to gain a solid footing by resting one arm on the roof of the car and the other on the ice. 8ome Taken Through Roof. Gaining the roof of the car, he broke a fan light with his fist and rescued little Alfonso Rousel, of Sault Ste. Marie. After the little boy came D. M. Brodie, of Sudbury, who was small enough to pass through the fan light. Six more passengers who were too big to be rescued in this manner, were taken out through a hole broken in the roof of the car. "I never heard such terrible cries as when those cars went over the bank; 1 shall never forget it as long as I live," said Conductor Reynolds. "I put the killed at between 40 and 60. The "first coach carried about 35 Or 40 passengers, and of this number only one man escaped." Gangs of wreckers to the number of 100 were immediately sent to the scene of the horrible disaster.

Cleary, then county commissioner and for years a well-known Chicagoan, made a balloon ascension at a county fair over in Michigan, Bays the Chicago Journal. As the guest, of honor .the colonel was sent upward with the assurance that there was absolutely no danger. But as the distance from the earth grew greater the colonel leaned out anxiously. "Pull me in!" he shouted. The men who were bailing out the rope paid no heed to his demand. Higher and higher went the balloon. Wilder and wilder grew the colonel. Finally, almost standing pn his head as he tried to keep a precarious balance, he gave a final cry of exasperated panic: "Pull me in, I toll you, or I'll cut the rope!" Wisdom of a COOK. Mr. Honey man looked hopefully at the pleasant, rosy-faced Norwegian girl with whom the manager of the employment bureau had accorded him an interview. "Can you wash and iron?" he asked. "Yaas, I do dose," responded the cheerful Minna. "And you can wait on the table—I mean will you—and answer the doorbell?" Mr. Honeyman faltered. "My wife is quite determined on these points." "Yaas, I do dose," and Minna continued to beam benevolently. "And you can cook, of course," said "Mr. Honeyman. "Yaas," said Minna for the third time. "I do dat fine ven you keep her busy so she do not help me."—Youth's Companion. I The Madriz government has ordered the arrest of all the conservative leaders in Managua, Granada, Masaya and Rlvas.

INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, If not Remedied In Tims. "Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all harm. But it was, and the time ca when I had to face the fact, and p: tect myself. I therefore gave up coff abruptly and absolutely, and adopt Postum as my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, hut surely, and it waa a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved—the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal-efficiency, ana I began to sleep, reatfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicine," Read the little book, "The Boas to Wellvlile," in pkgs.

Being interested in mining, operation* In Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her.. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war. had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final Instructions. CHAPTER IV.—Continued. i • \^k th ~>^^^pihi \Si • • "Sacre! it haa been as ze devil drove," easily. "Ze last was sandalwood in ze South seas. I care little, to ze pay be good." "Then we'll get down to facts," and I sat back in the chair fronting the two of them. "Mr. Tuttle, how many men have you enlisted for this affair?" 'Twenty." "Those fellows out yonder?" and I nodded toward the closed door. He exhibited his yellow teeth, bis eyes narrowing. . "They'll be about all ye'll want to tackle, I guess," he volunteered, with some assumption of cheerfulness, "unless maybe -you decide to turn this expedition Into piracy, an' give 'em half the spoils. They're that sort, all right:" I straightened back in my chair, my jawa set hard, my gaze endeavoring vainly to catch and hold his shifty eye. "Mr. Tuttle," I said, sternly, "as I understand matters I am captain this cruise, and you're mate. Whenever I desire your advice I'll probably ask for It. Just at present please confine yourself to my questions. What crew have you?" The expression of his face was angry enough, yet he evidently thought best to answer civilly. "First and second officers, boatswain and gunner, ftve coal-heavers, the rest seamen." "Nationality?" "Every mongrel race under the sky." "You have no engineer?" "Couldn't pick up any; however, there's one on board, and, no doubt, we can persuade him to stick to the Job." The man's manner and tone remained suTly and insolent, but I gripped my indignation and held back the hot words burning my tongue. It was necessary that I make the best of it now, but after we were once safely at sea I intended very shortly to take the measure of this Yankee whaleman. My eyes wandered toward the olivetinted face of De Nova, barely visible through the enveloping smoke of his cigarette. The latter nodded cheerfully, as though he interpreted my thought.

The very audacity of such an attempt was strongly in our favor. If we succeeded in silently warping the Esmeralda beyond range of the guns of the shore batteries all real and immediate danger would be over. Probably not a war vessel in the harbor had steam up, and, if they did, no Chilean warship could hope to overhaul us when once fairly at sea. I gave the personnel of the crew Tuttle had collected brief consideration. They were no rougher than I should naturally expect men to be who were volunteering for such a task. Besides, Jack ashore and Jack at sea are two widely differing personalities; once sobered and on shipboard, steadied somewhat by the perils of their position, and exhilarated by the promised reward, they would doubtless prove efficient, onough. Tuttle might require a lesson in sea etiquette, and, if he did, I felt perfectly confident of my ability to administer it promptly and forcibly. As for De Nova, I had uo doubt that he would prove himself a good man. So, altogether, my spirits rose as I thus contemplated a definite plan of action. The movement on the water was only the merest ripple, with the riding lights of the various ships at anchor reflected back as from a giant mirror. Two vessels, a full-rigged ship and a small schooner, lay close in shore, apparently deserted, their decks gloomy wastes, their bare spars sticking up skeleton-like and ghostly. Farther out, and somewhat to the left, a yellow lantern, perhaps in the bow of a guardboat, bobbed about, zig-zaggipg here and there like some erratic star. It was some time before I could locate with any certainty the particular vessel I' sought. The harbor was littered with sea craft of every description, and my knowledge regarding the Esmeralda was most "meager, being merely her point of anchorage, and that she WSB a large steam-yacht, schooner rigged. Finally. Into the focus of the leveled glaases "there crept Indistinctly .the delicate tracery of her bow, rendered more plainly visible beneath the groan radiance of her riding lamp, Lights were showing faintly through several portholes amidships, certain proof that ahe waa not entirely doaerteds «yet the cabins aft war* dark, and the only moving figure I could distinguish with, certainty was slowly pacing back and forth along, the lee rail of the poop. Suddenly, out from the enveloping smudge, came a shower of sparks the carve of the shore ljne, beneath the gloomy shadows of cool sheds. Of light* there were comparatively none. If I except the uncertain' glimmer of rocketa along the water's surface, and I waa -consequently compelled to feel my way from object to object like a blinded man, Sttyl, the course waa sufficiently familiar so that I successfully maintained both footing and direction, finally emerging eatery close beside the spot appointed for our rendezvous. There waa considerable open space here, the Mercantile Company's sheds standing some 30 feet back of the shore lin%, and their wharf for the unloading of barges extending more than 50 feet out into the harbor. I could dimly perceive a great crane at the farther extremity, with dangling buckets, outlined against the sky. The night was too dark for me to decipher the face of my watch, yet it could not now be long before the arrival of the men. I crouched down beside a post to await their coming, once again searching the harbor with my night-glasses. The company at last arrived by twos from out the enveloping gloom, silently grouping themselves amid the shadows. I could distinguish an occasional gruff cough, and the shuffling of feet, but there was no sound of conversation or hilarity. Evidently De Nova had sufficiently sobered them to their duty. At last one man detached himself from among the crowd and moved stealthily forward. I met him at the shore end of the wharf, peered into his face, half-concealed beneath the visor of his cap, until I recognized the fellow. "Crew all here, Mr. Tuttle?" "Yes, sir," he answered, startled by my sudden appearance into courteous response, "but mighty uneasy to be off." "They shall not be delayed. Get the boats out at once. You are to take charge of the whaleboat and I will accompany De Nova in the cutter. Pull silently to the end of the wharf and lie by there to await instructions. Do your men understand the boats they are assigned to?" "Ay, ay, sir." "Very well, then; get the boats out. and the crews aboard. Not a sound, remember, for there are guards patrol ling the harbor." 1 must confess this preparatory work was well and smartly accomplished, the men the merest silent shadows as they hauled the two hidden boats forth from concealment and quietly took their assigned places at the oars. Tuttle's crew was first afloat, De Nova experiencing some difficulty from attempting to load too near shore, in somewhat shallow water. "Drop overboard, two of you, and shove off," I ordered, finally. "Lively now, lads, but no splashing." The two fellows in the stern lowered themselves into the shallow water, bending down so as to put their shoulders against the planks for a heave. Suddenly, not three feet distant, a smudge of shadow uplifted, and I became conscious of a pallid human face gleaming fain My through the dark. Instantly I leaped toward it, with such force as to send the heavily laden boat swirling forward, the heaving men plunging face downward into the water. There was a startled exclamation in Spanish, a short-arm "**m I II 1 bath, the.twe seamen cam* toaay aid, j>ad. between u§f jtt ginned the fellow to helpleas silence,- • "Toaa him into the boat," I said, paathig from exertion, "We will be safer with ua than left aahore." It appeared even darker oat on the water than when we looked off upon it from the land, tmt* with av few cautious stroke*, we diaaoeered the smudge which represented Tuttle's whaleboat, and dtaw op within an oar'a length of where he lay waiting. "Mr. Tuttle,'* I began, speaking slowly and concisely so that the men in both boat* could hear, "thla Is going to be no boy's play to-night, and I expect Implicit obedience to my orders. Do exactly what I tell yon and no more. You know the situation of the Esmeralda, and I want yon to put your whaleboat in under her bow. If you keep a point east of north you „ can scarcely miss it. There is a lumping big brigantine anchored 100 feet beyond, with only a single light showing on her foremast. If you come up under her shadow you are not likely to be seen before you drift down against the Esmeralda's cutwater. Make use of the anchor-chain, and get half a dozen men quietly over the forecastle rail. Don't move from there until you receive some signal from me. Then clap down the forecastle scuttle, and male straight for the engine room. That will comprise the entire duty of your crew; and, above all things, let it be accomplished silently. Don't permit one of your men to carry a loaded firearm. Use belaying pins, if you need to, or a marllnsplke, but no guns. De Nova and I will go in by way of the stern, and we will be responsible for the after-deck and the bridge. Has any one a question to ask ?" There waa no response, the only sounds audible being the soft lapping of the water and the deep breathing of the men. I could distinguish them leaning eagerly forward, but the faceB were undecipherable in the gloom. "You understand clearly?" "Ay, ay, Mr. Stephens," and Tuttle's nasal voice had completely lost all its former trace of insolence. "Then pull away slowly and noiselessly; don't hurry; we'll give you plenty of time to get In. Good-by, and good luck to you." The balanced oars dipped gently Into the water, scarcely rippling it, and the sharp-stemmed gilded , away Into the surrounding blackness like a ghost. "All right now, De Nova," J whispered. "I'll go forward into the bow. Keep her head off about a point and watch out for signals." We slipped through the water silently, the sound of the dipping oarblades little more audible than the suppressed breathing of the oarsmen. Confident that if any eyes were watching from the deck they were not likely to be directed astern, we made wide detour, creeping cautiously in beneath the slight hulge of the yacht's side, until the fellow behind me fastened his boathook firmly into the afterchains. Breathlessly we waited listening, but no, sound reached us other than the slight hiss of escaping steam. "Hold hard!" I whispered, the word passing back from man to man. "Two remain with the boat, the rest follow me." I crept silently up Into the chains and peered cautiously over onto the open deck. It was wrapped in darkness and silence, the sole gleam of revealing light coming from out the open main-hatch, and that only the merest glimmer slightly illuminating the ship amidships. There was a lamp alight in the after-cabin, but the shades were drawn so closely I could scarcely perceive its presence. I became aware that De Nova stood beside me. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The abatement waa made not long since by a railroad man who claimed to have made the r luarkable discovery that such waa the case. There is not a district of a fair amount of settlement in any of the three Province* of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, bat has Ha school, and the railways have stations' every seven or eight miles apart, around which group the 4owna, some large and some small, but each Important to it* own district. Schools are largely maintained by pub- He funds and the expense of tuition is* but a nominal sum. The final return* of the grain production for Central Canada for 1909 i* now in, and the figures show that the value of the crops to the fanners of that country is about 195 million dollars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmens or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union, One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth (hat comes to the farmers of Central "Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went to visit their friends In the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every years. It need not be asked, "Can they afford it?" With crops yielding them a profit of $20 to $25 per acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more whaleboat^j acres, t h e Q u e B t i o n l s answered. The Canadian Government Agents at different points in the States report that they have interviewed a great many of those who are now visiting friends In the different states, and they all express themselves as well satisfied, and promise to take some of their friends back with them. There Is still a lot of free homestead land in splendid districts, and other lands can be purchased at a reasonable price from railway and land companies. Kangaroo Not in It.

Colonel Bill was a pioneer legislator, merchant and banker of the vest pocket variety. / •. It was seldom tbat Colonel Bill got caught by a debtor, so unerring was his judgment of men, but bis transaction with old man Blenkertoo was.an exception to tbe rule. Blankerton got iavj Colonel Bill's ledger to the amount of $60 and finally b&lunced the account with a note. When the paper was a long time overdue and there was no prospect of, a settlement, to the eminent disgust of tbe colonel, he declared; wltb a strong Anglo-Saxon emphasis, that be would sell Blankerton's note for 50 cents, on the dollar. The statement was not long reaching the ears of the maker of the note. He met the colonel in .the Tillage street one day and accosted him: "Bill, heard you'd offered to sell my note for 60 cents on the dollar." "Yes; I will." "Will you sen it to me at that rate?' "Yes. sir; I'll sell it to you at that rate." "All right, Bill; make out a new note." Colonel Bill's symptoms of apoplexy became noticeable from that moment. —Chicago Record-Herald.

It will be difficult to discover an older practical Joke than that of tbe coppersmith and the maker of brazen Images for the temple of Osiris, which Is embodied in Egyptian inscriptions dating from the reign of Menes, founder of Memphis, who ruled over 7.000 years ago. According to ancient records, there dwelt between these two craftsmen a quiet man whose desire was for peace and who was sadly disturbed by the noisy occupntlons carried on by his busy neighbors. He therefore asked each of them to say for what sum they would change tbelr dwellings. This they did. Each calculated the amount required, and he, being satisfied, paid it over to them. "Now," he asked of the coppersmith, "where Is your new dwelling?"

This is one of many tales told in all ages which are woven Into myth and legend and differ only In local color. Ho Naeded the Clerk. When Tim Campbell was in the Fiftieth congress he stole a clerk from Congressman Scott Scott was a new member and was made chairman of a committee which gave him a clerkship. He knew nothing about the clerk. Campbell did. Through some means or another he had the clerkship transferred to his own committee. Six months later Scott learned of the trick. Meeting Campbell, he said: "That was a nice piece of petty larceny." "Tut, tut, Mr. Scott," said Campbell; "my committee needed a clerk worse than yours." Then, with twinkling eyes, he continued, "You are a milllonaire and can afford to hir« half a dozen clerks, while I muBt go to the government for clerical assistance." The ready reply amused Scott. The two men were always the best of friends thereafter. It Drew. The Major (thinking to have some fun out of Pat's ancient and skinny •teed)—Good morning, Pat I "Good morning, yer honor."

"'Ah, ye8, Joseph,"you have cause to complain/ a lawyer said to a farmer. 'The harvest has been very bad, no doubt of that. But you should remember that providence cares for all, and even the birds of the air are provided for." '"Yes/ said the discontented farm er, 'so they are—off my potatotes.' "— Washington PoBt. EPIDEMIC OF ITCriN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlals, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makeB your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treat* ment with Cuticura Soap, pintment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.

The gorgeous band-embroidered Japanese kimonos with their quilted linings, wide pocket-like sleeves and silken tasseled cords are being worn as evening wraps by a number of girls fortunate enough to possess them. The real JapaneBe.klmono is a work of art In that wonderful silk crepe in exquisite colors, embroidered with gold and silver threads, with Japanese iris, cherry blossoms, long-legged cranes and flocks of smaller birds, ft is admirable for wearing over evening frocks, and the quilted, soft lining makes it delightfully warm. With these kimonos there are long scarfs of Japanese silk embroidered and finished at the ends with long knotted silk fringe. They are worn about the coiffure or carried over the arms and shoulders at the opera or at a dance. Cotton Fringe. English-looking cotton fringes are among the decorative materials sought for. They appeal to.those who make a business of refurnishing and restoring interiors and to the amateur whose object it is to furnish her bed' room or to renew its hangings. These fringes are mounted on cotton gimp and vary in color from white to deep ecru and even to blue and white, in interesting patterns. They measure from one to five Inches and are used to edge almost any bedroom upholstery, Including the long, tied-back window curtain of English design. Thfey form an excellent finish to the bedspread for the 'old-time highposter and the modern brass bed, to the cover for the small shirtwaist box nnd to the couch cushion, as well as the various footstools and upholstered chairs.

One day in December he returned home with an empty bucket and a grave face. "We can't get any more milk," he announced in a tone weighty with the importance St his message. "The. cow's dried p." And, as we started In surprise at him, he suddenly clinched the matter with an observation, evidently of .his own: "They don't think that she'll thaw out till spring."—Delineator.

Russian Blouse or Redingote 8ult. ment, and forms part of a dashing street suit or smarter dress of some sort Made in wide-wale serge, with fur or braid bandB, with handsome belt buckles, a short plaited skirt, a big fur set and a Russian turban, the Russian blouse suit Is bewitching for a smart promenade or a spin on the ice. Velvet velveteen or corduroy are frequent materials for wearers of chilly constitution, and the dressmaker who suggests the appropriateness of fur bands for these effective textures Is good enough to show you how easily they may be removed for milder weather, wben bias bands of satin or taffeta could be substituted. With a handsome suit of this sort rich frog fasteners will be used, and sometimes the buttons are very splendid jeweled affairs with the gems sharply contrasting with the gown color. The belting likewise gives op* portunlty for superb buckles back and front; and If these adjectives seem to suit only fat pocket books let me tell you at once that they concern only effect Oar Illustration shows a Russian blouse dress of brown velveteen with bands of skunk fur. The bodice of the coat is simply fitted with underarm and shoulder seams, and the tail is practically a very short and scant ikirt The skirt itself Is In a box and side plaited model tn the narrow walking length needed, for, of course, the Bosnian blouse never tops a trained or trimmed skirt. Any of the wide-wale serges, with herenles braids in two widths, would do for this stylish suit if it is intended for practical wear; while for smarter use, velvet or cloth would be superb, as well as a rich grade of corduroy. For skating, velveteen would be appropriate, also a blanket flannel, such as lis sometimes used injaCanada for to- A 8eal Sombrero.

As a snip nears land after a trip across the Atlantic inexperienced travelers are always in a ferment In regard to the proper tips to give their various stewards. Of course, one may give what one chooses, and, no mattei how small, the amount will never be questioned by the recipient, though his looks may mean much. I may say. however, that it Is customary to give the table steward about three dollars. Tour bedroom steward should receive not less than two dollars, the steward that polishes your boots of a morning one dollar, and your bath steward two dollars. In the very large boats In which there are lifts that run between the E and A decks, saving you the climb of five flights of stairs, should your cabin happen on E deck, It Is now customary to give a "pourbolre" to the boye who operate the cars. It Is advisable, by the way, to engage a position for your deck chair and indicate the time at which you desire to take your morning tub at the time when you engage your passage. in > i" m "-it- Twelve or fifteen years ago the American automobile was hardly known, aud those desirous of purchasing high-grade machines had to buy them abroad and import them. To-day the best autos in use are of American make, the capital invested in automobile manufacturing aggregates hundreds of millions of dollars and the business is Increasing rapidly. The Wrights, like Zeppelin, have capitalized their success, and find any amount of American money ready for Investment in their own and other schemes of aviation. A company In which the brothers are interested has « capital of $1,000,000, and doubtless others oi: equal or larger amount will be started. There are still many problems to solve in connection with aerial navigation. But the business assuredly has become commercially possible. ! With food products of all kinds extremely high in price, the people of Long Beach, L. I., may account themselves fortunate in experiencing a visitation of whiting, also known as "frost fish," which were cast upon the beach recently in such numbers that the coast for five miles was a solid ridge of fish. Residents along the beach gathered as much as they could eat Immediately and pack away for luture use, and then hauled tons of the fish to their gardens and farms to enrich the soil. The whiting is one of the best food fishes of the winter season, and the surfeit at Long Beach would have made many a lover of fish happy If It could have been shared without expense that would have made the distribution profitable. | China would be better off if Its emperor could disabuse his mind of the foolish notion that he represents Ood on earth, and Is of too fine a substance bodily and otherwise to be more than looked at, if even that, by the common people, says Brooklyn Citizen. For, after finding from his own observation how little real difference, except In opportunity, there is between the common people and the uncommon exceptions, he might be convinced that his own position would be safer with a community that had something to do with its own ordering, and thus be willing to enlarge the liberties of the new provincial assemblies elected recently.

WOULD BE PERJURERS The Charge Made By Oeborn Are To Bo Looked Into—How The General Fund la Used. "I have read what Osborn Is reported to have said at the Ionia banquet about how he found that state employes have been systematically robbing the state by collecting padded expense accounts when they are traveling on state business," said Auditor General Fuller. "A padded expense account cannot be collected, from the state unless someone commitB perjury. "All such accounts must be approved either by the auditor general or the state board of auditors before the state treasurer can lawfully pay them. It is designated by law which accounts one shall approve and which the other must approve. When a state employe presents an expense account" to either the auditor general or the board of auditors he must, take an oath that it is a true statement of his expenses.. Not until he takes tals oath does the auditor general or the board of auditors O. K. the account. I have ordered an Immediate investigation of Osborn's charges so far as the auditor general's department is concerned." Goes To Primary Fund. Deputy State Auditor Nate Simpson has returned from the north, where i e has been engaged in disposing of the two railroads that were sold for taxes. "It means a lot more money for the primary school fund," said he; "but did you ever stop to consider that all the expense attached to the selling of the roads and the expense involved in litigation regarding railroads comes out of the poor old general fund, which is almost always bankrupt, and not one penny goes back into that fund when money is brought to the state? "The same condition exists when expenses from several of the other departments are paid out of the general fund and the money obtained Is placed into the primary fund. Take the state board of assessors, for example. There is a big expense attached to the compiling of figures by a large force of men, and the total expense is all paid for out of the general fund, but when the tax money comes in from the railroads it is placed In the primary fund." Those Water Power Rates. The state railroad commission has fixed Feb. 10 as the date for the hearing on the complaint of the Lansing common council that the Michigan Power Co. is discriminating in rates charged for power. Interest will be state-wide In the hearing and the result, owing to the fact that it Is the flrBt complaint of this character under the law passed last winter giving the commission supervision over rates charged by power concerns. Precedents may be established which will have an important bearing on the future regulation of the big water power companies of the state. There was some discussion*" as to whether the commission could act except some specific instance of alleged discrimination was cited, but it was finally decided that the complaint filed by the city is sufficient. If the showing by the company as to the charges is not sufficient the commission may proceed to make an investigation to determine what the cost of furnishing power is, and what rates should be charged. If the hearing goes that far the investigation may develop considerable importance, and it may result In the commission establishing uniform rates to be charged in the city. 8earch for Blind Son. Mrs. William Oriman. of Saginaw, is seas^hing for her blind son, William Ortmatt, who disappeared Christmas night, and has not been seen or heard from since. The mother Interviewed several spiritualists in an effort to locate him, and one of them told her he was In Jackson, safe and well. Inquiry here fails to locate her son. Another spiritualist told her he vas being detained in a dark room in Saginaw, and still another told her he was in a distant place, but was being comfortably cared for. The family has been kept on the anxious seat since the mysterious disappearance of the man and have put forth every effort to locate him, but to no avail. It was thought at one time he might have been drowned in the river at Saginaw and a search was made. The water was dynamited to raise the body, but this, too, failed. Ortman left the blind Institute Christmas day and until night was traced about the streets of Saginaw, finally disappearing as if the earth had swallowed him. The police searched the lunch counter and pool mom belonging to T. A. Seager, of Tthica, and found three cases of beer, three gallons of whisky and two barrels of hard cider. The man was placed under arrest and gave bonds to appear in the circuit court MICHIGAN ITEMS.

He swallowed a quantity of It and was seised by an old disease of the throat: The food stuck in his throat and he choked to death. By completing an organisation that is to be known as the Workingman's board of trade and receiving petitions bearing in the neighborhood of 2,000 signatures, the first active step in the meat boycott situation was taken in Grand Rapids by the workingmen Saturday night. Helen Raynor, the principal witness against the, three Chinamen who are charged with harboring two white girls, testified in Battle Creek that I^em Loy had caused her downfall, having sent: her to Chinese in several Michigan cities. She also avers that he gave her "doped" cigarettes. Bertha Clement, her companion, related similar experiences. Under the direction of State Highway Commissioner Townsend A. Ely, a county road institute for the road commissioners and supervisors of Tuscola, Midland and Saginaw counties was held at Saginaw January 26. This meeting was in acoordance with a new state law which provides for a meeting of the counties that have claims for state reward roads. After being In darkness for several days, caused by explosion at gas works last week, in which one building of the local plant was blown up, Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are again enjoying gas. Investigations after explosion proved that the gasmaking machinery was not entirely destroyed. Temporary repairs to the plant again put it In operation. A civil suit involving $600, already having cost the defendants five times that amount, may come up in the Ingham county circuit court this week. The litigation arose over the purchase of a traction engine by John G. Waterman. The machine was listed at $1,- 341, but it is said that Waterman agreed to receive $1,800 when he transferred it to a firm of contractors WIRELETS. Secretary Nagel, of the department of commerce and labor, delivered an address on the extension of trade before the Merchants & Manufacturers' association at Baltimore Thursday, Death from black damp and natural gas was the fate of two workmen who had been lowered 90 feet in a bucket to the bottom of a caisson at Chicago, where a large building Is under course of construction. Under a prosecution by the state department of labor, the Norfolk, Va., knitting mills was fined $25 and costs on the"*charge of employing children under 13 years of age. Tie defense sought unsuccessfully to establish the unconstitutionality of the Virginia statute under which the prosecution was brought as a test case. The verdict of the Hillsdale coroner's Jury which investigated the death of Scott C. Parker and his daughter, Nellie Parker, when an explosion of the acetylene gas plant blew up their house last week, vindicates the Parker family of any charge of carelessness and condemns the lighting system as dangerous to public safety. The new comet, which been visible in the western heavens since last week, Is making a speed of more than 120 miles a second, according to- calculations made by Prof. Winslow Upton, of Brown university, Providence, R.

The dan«er^ of some great calamity, auch as has been predicted now seems over. although the situation, continues - ta • be critical at many points within the city, particularly in the neighbor^ hood of the St. Laxare station, where the entire streets and solid blocks of buildings threaten to sink through the crust into the waters beneath. The effect of the removal of the water pressure has been to weaken foundations generally, and this causes the greatest anxiety. Besides there will be thousands of acres to be cleared or repaired when the water has receded, and there Is also the possibility of an epidemic breaking out Figures as to the number of persons affected by the flood in the valley of the Seine are pure guess-work, but certainly 40,000 have been driven from their homes to the hospitals and other buildings which have been placed at the disposition of the refugees. The local government authorities are displaying great devotion and seal in the work of salvage and rescue. Nevertheless, the conditions, especially in the country districts, are pitiful. The houses of farmers are submerged to their roofs, and in many oases the inhabitants have lost everything, Including their livestock. Premier Brland has arranged for the flour mills and oil reservoirs in the west and north to send flour and oil to Paris by special trains, so that the danger of a bread and oil famine is now practically over. Learning that speculators were planning to corner the potato market and send prices up, the government has issued an edict that if this is carried out the speculators will be sternly prosecuted.

Wednesday's livestock market quotations showed a big reduction on the prices of last week. Hogs were quoted at from 35 to 40 cents per hundred pounds lower; cattle from 26 to 40 cents; veal calves, 50 to 75 cents, and best lambs, 50 cents. It is the general belief among cattlemen that the fall In the prices of the livestock will result in meat being cheaper in the butcher shops within a few days. Still lower prices are looked for. The present figures are due to stock being held up, and the initial slump is the direct result of the first attempt at unloading. The boycott against meat has had its effect all the way down from packers to farmers, And wherever livestock has been held up for still higher prices there is now consternation and dread lest it be Impossible to unload before prices go way down. Governor Haskell In Trouble. Charges that Governor Charles N. Haskell and other state officers of Oklahoma had violated the state constitution and the laws of the state in the manner in which public moneys have been expended were filed in the lower house of the legislature by Representative L.

The increase of income from the foreign field was even more remarkable, being $1,860,000. The total gifts on the foreign field was $4,844,000, and this amount waa 48 per cent, of the total amount contributed for foreign missions by the Protestant churches of North America. The Increase of native converts last year was 164,674, or over 450 a day. The cumulative effects of the foreign mission enterprise is shown by the fact that it took 100 years to gain the first million converts. The second million were secured in 12 years, and they are now being added at the rate of a million in six years. The percentage of Increase of the church membership of America was one and onehalf, while the increase of American missions abroad waa 12 per cent Two members were added in America for each ordained minister, while 41 were added in the foreign field for each ordained American missionary.—-The Missionary Review of the World. — Knew the Calendar.

A newly qualified Judge in one of the small towns of Tennessee' waa trying one of his first criminal cases. The accused was an old darky who was accused of robbing a hen-coop. He had been in court before on a similar charge and was then acquitted, "Well, Tom," began the judge, "I see you're in trouble again." "Yes, sah," replied the darky; "the last time, Jedge, you was ma lawyer." "Where is your lawyer this time?" asked the judge. * "I ain't got no lawyer this time," answered Tom.

A young Calif, wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I waa a nervous wreck and of course that means "all kinds of ails. "At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my condition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of i t At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drinking Postum I' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when wo had company, and the result eac\ time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night We were) convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more with insomnia.

Being Interested In mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as ^n insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken -officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral ot the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office ot captain. He desired that that night the Ssmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. CHAPTER V.—Continued. "There i s . certainly no watchman aft," I announced, softly, "unless he be found upon the other side of~lhe cabin. Batten down the companionway while I examine the deck. Two of you men come with me." We dropped over the low rail together, moving silently in our stocking- feet. The roof of the cabin, forming the quarter deck, extended clear to the rail. We groped over this shadowed space as though exploring a cave, encountering nothing except a few camp stools, although my fingers discovered a goodly sized boat swinging from davits across the stern. From the opposite side we could peer forward toward the dim light streaming from out the hatch, the deck being thus fairly revealed as far as the funnel. Beyond all remained black and impenetrable. A man sat upon a bench against the Bide of the galley, a dull red showing from his pipe bowl. His earliest knowledge' of our presence was when the two men closed on his windpipe, and I pressed a revolver muszle against his cheek. "Not a sound, Jack," I muttered sternly in Spanish, "or else your life pays for it." The pipe fell with a click to the deck, the fellow's eyes staring up at us, his opened mouth showing oddly amid a surrounding gray beard. A moment later, securely gagged and bound, we rolled his body close in against the rail. "I thought I heard a bit of a blow and a yelp on the fo'castle just now, sir," said one of the "men, pointing eagerly forward. I stood still, intently listening, staring into the gloom. "Quiet enough there at present Probably Mr. Tuttle has been attending to the for'ard watch. Come oft, lads, and we'll join forces with him." Beyond all doubt the main deck was clear as far as.the bridge, and, providing Tuttle's crew had attended to their share of the work, as far as the fo'castle head as well. We advanced cautiously, keeping close within the denser' shade along the weather rail, pausing a moment to peer over the edge of the open hatchway into the illuminated space below. Two Kanakas, naked to the waist, their slim, brown bodies glistening, each grasping the handle of a coal scoop, were backed up against a bulkhead conversing, while on a low stool, tipped t back to a comfortable angle, his feet C on the rounded crosspiece, a pipe in his mouth, his hands buried deep In his pockets, sat a white man, with red face and long. Bandy mustaches. His brown overalls and. pink undershirt told nothing distinctive, but the uniform cap, pushed well back on his bristling stock of hair, proclaimed him the vessel's engineer. As I drew back from this swift survey, Mr. Tuttle suddenly rounded the end of the charthouse, and, with whispered word of "Inquiry to one of the men, advanced to meet me. - "Well," I said as soon aa certain of his identity, "the after-deck Is ours without a blow: what have you dlscovered forward?" "Two men were posted on the fo'- castle, sir," he returned, the disagreeable nasal tone apparent even in hit subdued voice. "We got them both, but Mason was. pricked^wiUl » knife during the scuffle," . •Did 7<mdps* tbe wamaSrl Qtttstlo&ed briefly. »An f«t, ftrt}m i **»M u wr of the crew are below." "WeH, the** are some down in the • n i n e foot* aqd tbe fellow to charge Ltok*at iftJ* might .fight oa occasion. Tak»ih*tf ft«4s*ea^M& witt yea, aad lump below. The Kanakas won't make any sor^ous trouble, bat you had better clap a gun to tho engineer." - " I watched them « r they swarmed like rats over the hatch-combing and dropped down into the light There -was) aiaeunrytafiof bodies, a sharp exchange of blows, a yelp of alarm from the startled Kanaka*, a stout volley of English oaths, and, when the tangle partially cleared away, the engineer waa lying flat on Mi back, the knee of the big linger at Rodriguez at his cheat, nnd. Tuttle holding a blue-barreled revolver a* his ear. I haver beheld as angrier man, hat be woe helpless as a baby. Assured of the future of the engine room, I mounted the •ten* and took a hasty surrey of both bridge and wheelhouse. They were unoccupied—the vessel waa entirely in our possession. CHAPTER VI. In Which We Attain the Open Sea. Our adventure had been successfully accomplished through its first step; now it remained to get safely out to sea. Aa I turned to retrace my steps to the deck I encountered De. Nova coming up. "Pretty lucky Job, monsieur," he said, jovially. ?Jt was w'at you call ze picnic, I bet. Ze companion was lock', an' ze guard posted. W'at more now for me?" "Relieve Mr. Tuttle In the engine room. Keep three men below there with you, and arm them as guards. Make the Kanakas do the firing, and hold the engineer to it with a gun at his head. You know enough about a stoke-hole to tell whether things are going right, don't you?" He nodded, and I could see the gleam of hiB white teeth. "Then get your steam up, but don't let those fellows fire so as to drive any flame out of the stack, and watch that Johnny Bull so that he can't put any kinks in the machinery. Don't take your eyes off him. Do you understand the signals?" "Ay, ay, monsieur." . i £ r t n ? S a r o ^ e T e ^ ^ wers> « * "You Damned Bloody Pirate I" He Yelled, Glaring at Me Savagely. "Then stand by. We'll tow out at once with the boats, but I want you ready for business the very moment we cast off tlio lines. Send all the rest of the men on deck and ask Mr. Tuttle to report to me here immediately." I was not kept waiting. Two men came stumbling up the companionway together. I peered at them, uncertain of their identity in the gloom. "Is th%t you, Mr. Tuttle?" "Yes, sit. This is Johnson, one of the wheelsmen; thought you would likely need him, so I brought him along." "Very good. Johnson, go on up into the wheelhouse and see that all is clear. I'll give you directions later. Mr. Tuttle, we'll tow out until we get the sweep of the sea fairly under our fore foot. Get the lines out to the boats at once, with full crew at the oars. You are to take command, and I shall have to trust you for the course, aa we can't risk signaling. I presume you are acquainted with the harbor lights?" "Been In here eight times in ten years without a pilot" "Then you ought to know the course, but take no chances; feel your way, only keep the ropes taut Have you any man fit to take charge of the second boat? I need De Nova below." "The boatswain, sir; that big fellow with the scar." What's his name?" "Bill Anderson." "All right; put him in the cutter. Leave me three men on deck, and post the beat one of the lot at the stern line ready to cast off. As soon as you get the ropes out I'll slip the anchor* chain, and leave the flakes In the mud. Work lively now; we must be well out at sea before daylight- He stood leaning, against the rail, shaditur nig eyec. "Have yotf spotted any goardboala with your sdaaaeaf" he questioned, uneasily, ^ V "Only that one yonder; see, the yellow U*ht just rounding the stem of that big brig. There waa a steam-launch out there to tbe west about 30 minutes ago, but it seems to hare* disappeared/* "Swallowed up in the fog Mkely," he admitted, snuffing the . sir like a pointer dog. '^WeH find it banked pretty heavy outside, or Tm a lubber. Well, so much the better for our job. All right, Mr. Stephens, I'm off, and well have you in tow in a Jiffy. Ill put the nigger at the stern line; he's the best all-round hand on board." However 1 may have disliked and distrusted the whaleman he certainly proved himself an able seaman and a smart officer. He comprehended every detail of bis work, and held his men to it finely. Within 20 minutes we were in motion, mowing slowly, yet steadily, toward the black vacancy outlined by the harbor lights on either hand. There was no disturbing sound to betray progress, the yacht's sharp cutwater cleaving its passage through the liquid with the merest faint ripple, scarcely leaving a gleam of wLite foam behind, the oars dipping silently, the two lines held taut to the strain. Exultant. I climbed once again to the bridge, gave a few directions to the observant Johnson standing motionless at the wheel, and leaned anxiously over the rail, studying the waterfront through leveled glasses,. It was a barren, deserted waste, ex* cept for a deeply laden schooner beating Blowly up along the north shore under etosely reefed topsails,1 and the gleaming lights of a large steamer just beginning to emerge faintly through the curtain of fog a trifle to the left of our course. The towing boats appeared as two insignificant blots on the surface, but. that they were making excellent progress was proved by the way we were steadily drawing up toward the outer lights, already shining round and yellow through the Increasing haze. How dark, silent, uncanny the gloom-enshrouded yacht appeared as I leaned over the tarpaulin-protected rail and gazed down on the deserted decks* no movement, no gleam of light anywhere visible. The two masts, for the vessel was schooner-rigged, rose rakishly and with noble sweep into the sky, yet I could trace little of the cordage against the expanse of cloud. They appeared skeleton-like reeds to be broken by a gust of wind. A slight fringe of white water alone marked our progress, while a misty vapor of escaping steam spoke of the chained engine and hissing boilers below. As I rested thus, the watchful Johnson grasping the spokes behind me, the momentous events of the past few hours swept through my mind like fragments of a strange, disconnected dream—my seemingly hopeless plight in Valparaiso; my controversy with Lieut. Sanchez; my brief meeting with the Englishman; the friendly eyes of Doris; the throb of sudden interest aroused by her presence and as quickly lost again; the sudden swinging of the pendulum of Fate; the approach of De Castillo bringing unexpected opportunity for action and escape, and those later events which had so rapidly followed. I struck my hand hard against the iron rail to assure myself I was awake, and to arouse my dormant faculties to action. "Hold her steady as she is, Johnson," I said, my voice tremulous from sud den awakening. "I'm gomg down to recall the boats." "Steady as she is, sir." In the engine room, two seamen, each grasping a gun, leaned negligently against a bulkhead, while De Nova, bare-headed, his little black mustache clearly outlined against the olive of his cheek, occupied the stool between of sight, but the red-faced engineer was on his knees tinkering ever a refractory bolt with a monkey-wrench. "BTenrtfeia* working all right Mr. De Nova?" I questioned, quietly. Tty» eyes of the four men instantly turned- toward me, the engineer straightening up, monkey-wrench tn hand. "NJe'~trouui*s here, monsieur," and the mate rose te his feet his white teeth showing.* "Were are we now?" "Just off. the point with the lighthouse dropping astern, and the swell of the ocean under our forefoot I am going to call in the boats. Have you plenty of coal?" "Bunkers all full, monsieur.'* "How Is your steam?" He stepped over to the gauge, peer lag at it across the burly shoulder of the engineer, who still stood staring at me. "Pretty near up to ze danger mark, monsieur." "Then stand by for signals." The engineer came to life as though treated to an electric shock, his flat' still grasping the monkey-wrench, suddenly extended, his red face purpling with passion. "You damned, bloody pirate!" he yelled, glaring at me aavegly. "It's hung the whole lot of you will be for this bloody night's work. No, I won't keep still, you moon-faced mulatto. I'm a- free-born Briton, an' I'll smash in the heads of some of you yet, an' I'll live to see the rest hung in chains for the bloody pirates you are.

It's on nothln' you'll be dancin' then, you murderin* spawn o' hell!" De Nova pressed the barrel of a revolver into the man's neck, with a stern threat and an unpleasant gleaming of white teeth. The sailors remained leaning on their guns, grinning as if in enjoyment of the play. "Never mln' w'at he say, sir," and the mate glanced up toward me, as if in apology. *He bust out zat way ever' flv' minutes since we be down here. We have club him, two, free time, but he stick here just ze same, an' run ze engine. Oui, oui, it just ze way wiz ze bull-headed Englisher." "I see," I acknowledged, drawing back, "only watch that he doesn't kink the machinery." I was not in the least surprised at discovering one of his nationality in charge of the vessel's engine room, nor was I sorry. He would feel little real interest in the affair, after he once clearly comprehended the situation, while a native Chilean might be impelled by a spirit of patriotism to cause us serious trouble. Englishmen were very frequently met with in foreign engine rooms; this fellow had probably been picked up because of better qualifications than any native applicant; or, Indeed, he might have been a member of the original crew of the yacht before it was disposed of to the government. I would have a talk with him later; meanwhile he was certainly in good hands; and I had enough else to attend to. The tow-ropes came tn hand over hand, and were coiled dripping on the forecastle deck. At the end of them the two boats emerged from out the fog, and the men tumbled in silently over the rail. I watched from the vantage of the bridge, as the whole crew tailed onto the falls, distinguishing Tuttle's nasal tones above the incessant shuffling of feet. "Nor'west by nor', Johnson—now hold her steady, my lad." I pulled the signal cord, dimly distinguishing the faint responsive tinkle of the bell far beneath. Like a hound suddenly released for the chase, the steamer sprang forward into the fog wreaths and buried her sharp nose in the sea. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

EngliBh gold sovereigns were coined on the North American continent for the first time in 1908, when a limited number of these pieces were struck at the newly-opened Canadian mint at Ottawa. Permission to strike these coins, it is said, waa given by the British authorities as a special privilege to mark the beginning of operations and extended only up to December 31, 1908, after which the mint was to confine itself to making silver and bTonie coins.

Godchildren the*, were simple In their tastes, their wishes BO direct and to the point aa to render their gratification a m a t tor of little difficulty, and a Godmother skilled in turning pumpkins. into coaches, with a quick eye for the development of llsards Into footmen, and e pretty taste in princes, needed no farther qualifications for her practice. She was sure of making everyone per- Taetty n*PP7» which, an the world fcaows, is the whole duty of a Fairy Godmother. But aa years wore on, the times, even fairy times, grew out of joint Princes developed the disease of thought Princesses, not to be outdone, developed that, and nerves into the bargain, and gradually the life of a Fairy Godmother ceased to be worth living. The rat-and-pumpkin trick no longer pleased a careworn cynical generation, and for godmothers ignorant of mental science, unskilled In the subtleties of their craft. there was positively no career whatever. Amorette was a princess who lived in this lamentable decadence of the fairy age. She was the daughter of a rich king. By all the precepts of fairy-tale, Amorette should have been happy, and but for the disease of thought which for a princess she had contracted in a somewhat virulent form, this might have been the case. As it was, her Godmother, a singularly gifted and Bubtle fairy, who had specialized in all the new branches of her art, found Amorette the most difficult of all her godchildren, and it was with grave misgiving that one fine day. In response to an agitated summons from the princess, she stopped her coach before the great gates of the palace. "The child will soon be beyond me," she muttered, as she dismissed the crowd of bowing lackeys, with the remark that she would find the princess herself. "She will soon be beyond me, in spite of all my study. I wouldn't own that to Fredegonde, or to Hlldegarde," she went on (Fredegonde and Hildegarde were rival godmothers), "but It's true, all the same, and whatever the princesses of the present day are coming to, I don't know." With this gloomy reflection, she entered the rose garden, and discovered the princess seated In an arbor of white roses, crying bitterly. Just at this moment Amorette lifted a tear-stained face, and her Godmother entered the arbor. It really doesn't matter what her godchild was crying about It was a matter upon which, In the good old times, no princess would have wasted a tear. But that was before modern maladies had prevented princesses from enjoying themselves in this best of all possible worlds. "And now what can you do to help m e r she asked plteously, when she bad told her story. The Fairy Godmother was silent, while she racked her brains to think of some suitable charm. A squirrel ran along the branch of a hazel tree overhead and paused a moment to peer into the arbor before it sprang .put of sight. * *1 wish I were a squirrel,** mur- 1 mured the princess. x- "Oh, anything simple of that kind—" began the Fairy Godmother, greatly relieved, for she had been almost atrald that the princess would ask .for a changed heart i9 "Dear Godmother, my troubles will be ended directly I forget the misery of being human," Amorette assured her. But at this the Godmother merely smiled. Breaking a branch of hazel, she waved it three times around the princess' head, and a moment later a lfttyav brown furry creature, with j-Jr-bushy tail, and eyes such as no ^jfctfrrel aver had before or since, was •winging from branch to branch of a Mm&tree, in its eagerness to reach the sky. For a few daps there was a dellrl- •.oesly happy squirrel in the forest It exulted in the joy of movement; In the bird-like flight of its own light little body under the canopy of leaves; in the sense of freedom, the pleasant warmth of the sun, the delicious taste of the hazel nuts It cracked with Its •harp white teeth. "8he has perfectly mad eyes," said on* pretty young squirrel to another. letting a nut shell fall coquettlshly upon the head of her lover, who was sitting OOF a lower branch. "All the same, Plushkln is rather struck with her. Aren't you, Plush- • W a r "Interesting enough to talk to," returned Plushkln, twirling his long •% Whiskers, ."but not to marry. I should b# afraid of her. She's beyond me." . 14a4.»n«awciou8iy plushkln had hit upon the truth. She was beyond Mm by the whole sense of which he knew nothing; and that was the cause of loneliness. She found no little mate in the forest; for her there was no nestful of tiny creatures with soft furry heads. She waa always soli* tary and' in time the birds and beasts ceased to speak to her at all, passing her as they went about, their bust* neaa, with the quick sidelong glances they would have bestowed on human beings. And gradually even the beauty of the world grew to be more pain than pleasure, for she was at ways trying to understand i t The sunrise, the golden noonday hush, the mystery of star-lit nights, seemed to have no relation to the business of storing nuts. "What does it all mean?" the poor little squirrel asked herself again and again, as she cased with weary eyea at sunset clouds, an*1 hills clothed in iftrpie m i s t To her, n%> ture's beauty was like a song to which she could not hear the words, or like beautiful words to which she could not even guess a melody. Time passed, and one still evening there came a rustling in the under wood. Tall ferns were pushed aside, and a man and a woman came walk ing toward the pine tree, hand in hand, and presently sat down under Its shade. The man put his arm around the girl, and as he whispered to her, and she smiled, a squirrel sitting on the lowest branch listened with both its upright ears. It heard the words—they were foolish words, and to the squirrel they conveyed no meaning. Yet the girl blushed and smiled, and in her happy eyes there was something which puszled the listener so much that It could not rest "Come In!" said the Fairy Godmother the same evening, as she heard a nut dropped on her window sill, and a squirrel leapt into the room. "What were the man and the woman talking about In the forest?" It demanded breathlessly. "I knew the words, but they made no sense." "They were making love," said the Godmother in a voice of despair. "Love? What Is lover* asked the squirrel. And then, with a hopeless gesture the old lady put her hand upon the heart of the little furry creature. Instantly a squirrel with human eyes stood before her, and while she looked at it, tears began to glitter on its soft nose. But this was more than the Godmother could bear, so she hastily waved her hand three times, and in the little wood thing's place stood Amorette. "It's no good," said her Godmother. "You must be a mortal now, and I might as well own at once that I can be of no use to you." But the princess laughed through her tears, and kissed her. "You're the kJmdeet Godmother In the world,** she declared. "It isn't your fault that I've outgrown magic. Don't be sorry for me. T d rather be a human being than a squirrel after all. In spite of everything. And perhaps s o m e * * * * . " she smiled, without finishing the sentence. But the Godmother shook her head, for she knew the princess had not outgrown magic after all. "They, must have their charms/* she muttered, "they must have their charms. And woe betide them when they grow beyond hope, for it 4s the last of all their spells." '.- THE MYgTER»PU» BIRD.

It gives some interesting figures relative to the meat supply of the country And hears out the contention of the Armors and cattle men that there la a serious shortage in the supply of beef cattle and hogs. ' According to the report the supply of beef cattle in the country Is 1,100,- 000 head, below what It was on Jan. 1. 1900, the supply of hogs 6,365,000 short. To offset this, sheep have in* creased 1,132.000 in number, leaving the total shortage of meat animals for the year 7,333,000 head. But the report goes on to show that la spite of this falling off in the numbers of our meat animals, there has been no loss of wealth to the country, because the Increase in the value of those we have has far outrun the loss occasioned by the decrease in numbers. Our beef cattle are worth 168,699,000 more today than they were a year ago, our hogs are worth $81, .809,000 more, and our sheep 647,032, 000 more. To Curb Water Power Rates. Almost every section of the country will find subjects of interest In the preliminary report of the general waterways commission, submitted to congress. - This preliminary report recommends among other things: A general plan of conservation of water power, with the shaping of projection the light of future needs of streams. , a Resort to federal and state legislation rather than to unnecessary ehannel improvement merely to enforce reduction of rallread freight rates, with inhibition on the other hand of manipulation of such rates to freeze out water competition. A uniform system of distribution of cost of waterway Improvement between federal, state and local governments. Avoidance of multiplication of ports. Restriction of dam construction permits. Inauguration of such waterway projects only as can be completed within a reasonable time. Federal regulation of charges for power furnished to consumers. Reservation by the government of power to alter or repeal power rlsrhts. The commission holds that the federal government has no proprietary right or Interest In navigable waters, which would authorise the collection of tolls. It believes that each consent to construct a dam should provide the grantee whenever necessary to subserve navigation interests, must construct and furnish power for a lock suited to the locality and to probable traffic development. Power developed at government dams should be utilized and charged for. The commission records that grants should authorize the government to regulate the charge for the power furnished consumers and should expressly reserve to congress the right to alter, amend or repeal. Brought Money With Them. More than $90,000,000 worth of Americans were exported to Canada last year. That, at least, is the effect of immigration from the United States to Canada in 1909. The total number of Immigrants from the United States for the year was 90,148 and the Canadian Immigration commissioner has estimated that the average wealth of the American settlers was $1,000.

Everything keeping- nicely in the cellar? An Iron kettle filled with the hot coals from the kitchen stove and set on the floor of the cellar every night will keep lt^dry and pleasant, but not too warm. On your way to town while wondering ' why you didn't have more eggs to. take in, try and recall how many days lately you have let the hens' drinking water freeze up. Eggs are largely composed of water; you must remember, that RUNNERS FOR A PLANK SLED Easy Matter to Construct them If Directions Are Carefully Followed. A plank sled Is a very useful farm implement for use in the winter. They are not at all expensive and are easy of construction.

Good Cellar Ventilation. If the house is set close to the ground the cellar windows must be wide enough to compensate for their lack In height and must be set opposite each other in order to insure good draft A method that is sometimes used is to dig out a space in front of a window, making a little area which, lard in either brick or atone, may be whitewashed and reflect light Into the cellar aa.shown; It also allows of sinking the cellar window deeper and obtaining better ventilation. SAWBUCK MADE ADJUSTABLE One Shown In Illustration That Will Commend Itaetf to Every Farmer In 8awlng toga. An adjustable sawbuok which is shown herewith will commend itself Horse for Holding Logs. to every farmer who has to saw large or long logs, says Farm and Home. It is made by boring a two-inch hole in two crotched logs and inserting a 8tout cross stick in these holes. This forms a pair of tripods which may be set in any position and for any size of logs. Runners for Plank Sled. A and B are the runners of the plank Bled shown in the accompanying illustration and are made of two- Inch plank 10 inches wide and 8½ feet long. The cross pieces are made of 2x4 material, three feet four inches long; and are mortised into the side planks as shown, and spiked together. World's Whest Crop. Broomhall's final estimate of the 1909 wheat crop of the world, places the total wheat production of the wheat acreage of the world at 3,347 million bushels, an increase of 285 million bushels over the production In 1908, a 427 million bushel Increase •over tho crop of 1907. The production in Europe aggregated 1,872 billion bushels, being 160 million bushels over the 1908 crop. The crops of North and South America reaches 1,040 million bushels, or 80 million bushels over last year. It is likely that this great production will not be more than enough to supply the demands of the world'a population. Scientific Farming In America. Great Britain's ambassador, James Bryce, was the chief speaker at the 29th annual meeting of the National Farmers' congress, at Raleigh, N. C, recently. He declared that the problem of scientific farming is one of the most important now before the world, and that American farmers lead all others in getting results whenever they make up their minds to follow that vocation purely from a scientific standpoint Beware ef Fire. Give the man who is inclined to smoke in the barn a kindly invitation to do his smoking somewhere else. Ia half, an hour one spark of fire can undo the work of years. How to Save Corn. Soma farmers neglect the 25 to «0 cents that the battening of cracks in the coop would cost, and each month feed a dollar's worth of extra corn In order to supply the animal heat needed. Do Away with Middlemen. Moat at the Urge olive growers la Spain nave tiitlr owa mills for tilt extraatioa of the oil. Vitality of 8eeda. The period for which the seeds of different plants maintain their vitality varies a good deal. The seeds of Borne vegetables are worthless after they are two years old, while the seeds of other plants improve with age until a certain period. For Instance, the seeds of artichokes are good until they are three years old; asparagus, four years; beans two years; kidney beans, one year; beets, ten years; broccoli, four years; cabbage four years; carrot, one year; cauliflower, four years; celery, ten years; corn, three years; cucumber, ten years; eggplant, three years; endive, four years; kale, four years; leek, two years; lettuce, three years; melon, ten years; pea, two years; pumpkin, ten years; radish, four years; salsify, two years; spinach, four years; squash, four years; tomato, two years, and turnips, four years. Pay Cash. . The farmer should never hesitate to borrow money when by doing so he can take advantage of the market and save several times the amount of interest he would be required to pay in the purchase of some needed supplies for the farm. No man ever got rich by the use of his hands alone, and no farmer can make a success of his business without taking advantage of every opportunity offered to reduce the expense account. Takes a Dive In Hla Sleep. A Liverpool man who had read Rider Haggard's "Allan Quatermam" just before going to bed the other night, had such a vivid dream that he was diving from a rock—an incident that figures in the story—that he took a header from the bed to the floor, a deed that nearly resulted In his death from concussion of the brain. Electricity on Farms. At the Ramsdell farm in Minot, Me., electricity runs the feeding gear, rings an alarm for the hired hands, operates four clocks, sounds an alarm of chicken thieves and fires, saws wood, runs a threshing machine, separator, -cornsheller, grindstone, fanning mill and sewing machine. Chemical Fertilizers. Chemical fertilisers used haphazard are often a poor Investment Used with care and calculation, they pay welL Good-Crop Rotation. The following is a good rotation of crops for five years; corn, oats, land seeded to grass and clover, three years ia t m W *\ MJ> am AGO HE HAD LESS • •wig* SjBSat asaysspF ,s»ssjae«a# . THAN 3 DOLLARS mLmm HI-il NOW OH* OsT THtHrCM**T FARMERS IN SAftKATOmWAN, CEJUTRAJ. CANADA. Arriving to Canada in 18*1, Just eighteen years ago, 9. A. Onilfomln could speak but bis native language. Ht Is a Frenchman. He had but a little over two dollars in bis pocket, thus being snort over seven dollars of the" ton dollars required to secure entry for a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres. Ht eventually borrowed the money and near Forget, Saskatchewan, he started Ufa in Canada on the homestead In which to-day he ia the fortunate possessor of fifty quarter sections of land, or 8,000 acres. Now Mr. Ouulomin did not acquire all these acres as a result altogether of his farming operations, which were extensive. He looked with satisfaction upon what he was doing on his limited area, he was saving, careful, and had foresight Surrounding land could be had for about $3.00 per acre, and he continued buying as hla savings would permit until now ht has fifty quarter sections, soma of which he can sell at $26.00 per acre. Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushsls. This year he was engaged in threshing on bis place for 5 4 ^ days. He threshed out 60,000 bushels of wheat of which he sold 34,000 bushelav*one train load, at a price varying from 84 to 87 cents per bushel. Ht has oh hand still 16,000 bushels. In addition to wheat he raised 30,000 bushels of oats, 7,000 bushels of barley and 600 bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses and a number of cattle, but since the construction of the railway he has been engaged chiefly in raising wheat This year he bought his first threshing machine, paying for it the sum of $2,100. He estimates that the machine earned for him this fall $3,000, thus paying for itself in one season and leaving $900 to the good. The weather was very propitious for farm threshing, not a single.day being lost in the two months which were spent in this work. The wheat averaged 23 bushels to the acre and graded No. 1 and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine years seven good crops have been harvested on this farm.4* For six successive years the returns were excellent that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two following years there was a partial failure. As the years have passed the quality of the buildings on the farm have been steadily improved, and are now as good as can be found in the district. About $10,000 has been invested in this way by Mr. Ouillomin. The farm consists of 6,880 acres, of which about 6,000 acres were under crop this season. The Modern Polonlus.

Special S e r v i c e * Closed. in n i • •! i m The union special evangelistic serv i c e that have been i n progress here the past two weeks under the direction of Evangelist George Gable, of 111., closed Monday evening with a good service and a shp/t reception at t be close of the meeting when all remained for a few moments to have a last .handshake with one who has won his way to so many hearts during bis short stay among us. While perhaps the outward results have not been so manifest as at times before, there seems to be a feeling aroused among the members ot the churches for better and a closer walk with God aud we shall be much mistaken ff we do not see results "after many days" yea, after many years. Mr. Gable is certainly a man of God and no one can point to a word or aotion that was net in accordance with the true spirit of Christianity. He enjoys a lauxh or ioke as well as any onrt and bis lauub is one of true merrimentt However, when it comes to the matter of seeking the salvation of sonU his great heart reaches out to all. It has certainly been a feast for those who love the Lord and many others have given' manifestations that they have been greatly benefited. At the close of the service, Prof. Hugh McDougall, in behalf of the many friends of Mr. Gable, in a few well ohosen words, ptesented him with a fine silver shaving set and gold cuff links, also a silk handkerchief. ONE DAY INSTITUTES At Gregory and Pinckney GOOD CROWDS, 6000 TALKS, 6000 PAPERS 6000 MUSIC Church Notes. The revival has closed and the churches will return to their regular form of worship with the exception of the Sunday evening meetings which will be union and the coming Sunday will be beld in the M.

Several new things bad been added to the program as published last week, which we had to forego the pleasure of hearing on account of the train and lateness of the hour; never the less we gathered a lew thoughts which we present to you. Mrs. E. N. Braley of Plaintield read a paper, 4kA Chat witL Farmers," which brought out many wholesome : thoughts. Farming is a profession, as j well as any other, business is a profes-1 sion, and taKes no longer hours than? any other profession. Don't ait on , street corners discussing failures but! spend your time at borne mending : harnesses and picking up other loose ends. Make a thorough scientific business oi your farming and yonr I farm will be a place of business as well as profit. Little Margaret Kubn pleased the audience with a solo after which the utate speaker, W. S.

Every bank had to watch once for counterfeits, as it does not now. Today counterfeiting is on a petty scale. Post office thefts by officials have almost disappeared'. Instead of hunting for them, as its members once did, the postal secret service or force of inspectors is principally dealing with the use of mails for swindles.

Glaaier, It !• the sentence of this cqurt that you be confined- In the Bute's prison at Jackson for not more than 10 years nor leae, than five years; and it is the recommendation of the court that' you serve 10 y«ars." This was the sentence of Frank P. Glazier, as pronounp^d by Judge Howard Wiest of the Ingham circuit court at Mason. After two years of strenuous legal warfare, Frank P. Glasier, former state treasurer, banker and manufacturer, bowed to the law be had violated In using the funds of the state and the deposits of tie bank for his personal ends. Ten years in Jackson prison was the maximum sentence that could be imposed, and In passing sentence Judge Wiest Bcored the prisoner for his acts. Glasier stood it well until sentence was passed, and then wept in the arms of his wife. He was immediately taken from the courthouse to the Jail across the street, where he collapsed utterly and gave way to his grief. Nothing was saved from the wreck of the Giasier fortune but the home In Chelsea and the summer home at Kavaoaugh lake, and it is this property which must support the family. Frank P. G'asier is now convict No. 9112 in Jackson prison. He, with his wife, arrived in Jackson at 3:25 Saturday afternoon in custody of Sheriff Cllne of Ingham county and another officer. Glasier walked to the prison Immediately on arriving at the depot and was taken to the hall-master's office. Warden Wenger gave bin his number and after the parting with his wife the embetsllng ex-treasurer was placed In a cell. Both Glazier and Mrs. Glazier broke down when the time came for them to part. They were given an opportunity to say a few words, during which time those present in the room turned their heade. Mrs. Glazier wept on her husband's shoulder, and Glazier, in tears, attempted to comfort her. The parting was declared by the hardened prison attaches to be the saddest ever seen at Jackson prison. There were half a dozen in the room, including prison employee and' newspaper men, and there was not a dry eye among them. Glazier was given permission to see the newspaper men, but he said he had nothing to say. Mrs. Glazier was taken to the home of the warden after the parting, and after remaining in the hall-master's office for a short time her husband was placed in a cell. State and M. C. Reach 8ettlernent. Following a long conference between Attorney-General Bird, special state's counsel, Thomas E. Barkworth, and Otto Kirchner, Mr. Bird announced at noon Saturday that the suits pending between the state and the Michigan Centra] Railroad Co. are to be compromised if th<» auditors consent. The basis on which the settlement is'made is that the railroad's suit for $6,000,000 and the state's for $4,000,- 000 are dropped and the company pays the state $125,000 for legal expenses. The easefe have been pending in the courts for years. In 1889 the state repealed the special charter of thft railroad. In December, 1901, the Michigan Central Instituted suit for $6,000,000 damages against the state for the repealed charter. Henry Russell. Ashley Pond of Detroit, John G. Milburn of New York and John G. Johnson of Philadelphia represented the railroad. The case went to the supreme court twice. In 1904 the state came back with a counter-suit for $4,000,000 back taxes on the grounds that the road had concealed assets. Two years were Hpent by state officials in gotng through, the books of the company. The settlement, of the suit, if approved by the auditors will mean the close of the biggest damage case that*the state was ever mixed up in. Boiler Breaks; Two Killed. The bursting of a boiler tube in tie Flint Electrio Light Co.'s power house Monday night instantly killed Eli Crump, 52, and an unknown man, both firemen, in the employ of the company. The men had just finished putting coal beneath the boiler and were standing in front of the fire box doors when the tube snapped, filling the room with scalding water and steam.

Sixty-eight lives were lost. The, explosion occurred in the No. 3 shaft of the coal mine of the Eeoeranxaa Mining Co., and la attributed the ignition of gas from the flame a miner's cigarette, who waa smoking contrary to taa rules. The,miners, oonalaUngt pgn^ipaJly of Mexicans and Japanese, had assumed their places In the workings Shortly after 7 o'clock About 8:30 o'clock thoae at work above ground heard a loud explosion and almost instantly a vast cloud of dust and smoke shot from the mouth of the shaft. Rescuers Go Below. Assistance was Immediately forthcoming and as soon as the air In the shaft could be purified sufficiently to permit rescuers to desoend many volunteers were ready to risk their lives in an endeavor to succor thlr stricken brothers below. A cage was immediately sent down, followed later by two others, all loaded. When the cages descended and the men had made an examination of the first and second levels, everything was found to be intact and beyond being frightened the men working in these levels were safe. They were brought to the top as rapidly as the cages oould be loaded. The rescue party continued its explorations and went down to the third level and as soon as'the air could be cleared entered the shafts in search of the dead. Scattered about in various positions tney found the bodies of the men, suffocated, their faces indicating in many instances the hopeless fight they had waged, The rescuers Immediately began to work In relays, searching for and carrying to the surface the bodies of the dead and dying. Forty Injur.d Taken Up. After six hours' work 53 bodies were brought to the surface, while nearly 40 injured men were removed to hospitals for treatment. *fhe injured owe their fscape to the fact that they were working at points in the third stage of the workings, where they were pracically protected from the rush of foul air. As the bodies were brought to the surface, screaming women and children were congregated about the mouth of the shaft. Most of the killed were Mexicans, the Japanese miners being employed In other parts of the mine. As soon as the authorities learned of the explosion, state representatives were sent to the scene and placed in charge of the work of rescue and investigation. Fcod for Victims' Families. A report of the explosion and a deduction as to the probable cause—explosion of mine damp—was at once telegraphed to the governor of the state of Goahuila and Saltillo, and an answer returned instructing the local authorities to take such action as they deemed necessary. The mining company's officials lost no time in making provision for the care of the injured. An order was telegraphed to Monterey and Eagle Pass for coffins and food has been provided for the suffering families. The Palau mine is one of the best equipped coal mines in Mexico. It has an adequate ventilating system, is provided with electric lights and the mining officials are at a loss to account for the present mine damp.

As an indication of the force of the crusade against tuberculosis, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a bulletin issued recently points to the fact that while 63.6 per cent, ef the expenditures for tuberculosis in 1909 were made from public resources, appropriations made for 1910 indicate that over 75 per cent, of the money to be spent this year will be from fed' eral, state, city' and county funds. In 1909, out of the $8,180,621.« spent for the prevention, and treatment of tuberculosis, $4.362,750.03 was spent (rom public money, and $8,817,871.47 from funds voluntarily contributed. JFor the carrying on of state, federal and municipal tuberculosis work in 1910, over $9,000,000 has been appropriated. Of this sum, the state legislatures have granted $4,100,60#, the municipal and county bodies, $3,975,- 500 and the federal government, $lj000,000. The Important Part.

If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skill* fully selected food that exactly flta the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never bo able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. "A few months ago I was persuaded to try Qrape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up Its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested i t It proved to be Just what I needed. "All my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me such pain disappeared. My weight gradually Increased from 98 to 116 lbs.; my figure rounded-out, my, strength came hack, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nut* did it."

Barty dawn reached ua tn sodden gray, the sun a shapeless blob of dull red, with no vestige or its golden light forcing passage through those dense cloud* of misty vapor closing us in as between curtained walla. The •well of the sea was not heavy, but the pervading gloom gave to the surrounding water a peculiarly sullen appearance, through which we tore, reckless of accident, at full speed. A new hand was at the wheel, Johnson having gone below an hour since, but I still clang to the bridge, my eyes heavy from peering forth into the fogbank, my clothing sodden with the constant drip. Only a few of the men were visible, three or four grouped about the capstan on the forecastle head, and as many more gathered along the lee side of the charthouse. Evidently regular watches were already chosen, and a portion of the crew had been turned in for the|r trick below. Tuttle himself, clad in wet; glistening oil-skins and looking gaunt and cadaverous, his chin-beard forking straight out over the high collar, was standing aft, beside the fellow who still kept guard over the companion. I moved across to the starboard end of the bridge, and, when he glanced around, made signal for him to join me. "Not very much chance of any one overhauling us in this fog, Mr. Tuttle," I said, pleasantly. "It would be like hunting a needle in a haystack." "Tts as the Lord wills," he returned, rather sourly. "Man proposes, but God disposes. The sun will lift that whole outfit in another hour. How far do you figure we're off shore?" "Figure It for yourself. We're doing all of 16 knots, and have been for four hours at that speed. With another to be added, even our smoke ought to be below the horizon. We've given them the slip all right, and from now on It's merely a question of steaming to keep ahead. I don't recall anything In the Chilean navy that can overhaul us. What discoveries have you made below?" He turned his crafty, glltering eyes toward me, twisting the lump of tobacco under his tongue. In some way, beneath the revealing daylight, I became even more distrustful of the man, more conscious of his hypocrisy. "Not a great deal," his mouth attempting a grin; "except that we've got the crew caged. Everybody was ashore but the harbor watch." "Then you found the forecastle empty?** "Nothin* there but dunnage and bilge water; regular sea-parlor, sir." ."And no officer on board?" I asked, scarcely believing it possible. "None, barring the engineer, so far at Kknow. The cabin was locked up by yotrr orders, so I let that alone." "And that, then, is all you have discovered. Is it, Mr. Tuttle?" He shifted his long legs, but made nd effort to turn and face me. "Wall, I guess that's about the whole of t C he answered, slowly, as though deliberating over the choice of words. "Only I'm ,a bit pussled about some thing* what don't took Jost right. We started out, as I understand it, to run off with a Chilean warship nagteftV the Ksmeralda, a schoonerrigged steam yacht.

"Tec know as wen as I do that the entire Chilean navy Is •lied with foreigners." i M8arcvM he coincided* with a swift, questioning glance toward me; "that's all true enough, sir, but I never saw a whole crew of those beggars as' a s Ctfiean bos***"•sol. But then thaff only a part of It Every oae of them email "boats down the**; an' the lifepreservers haogin' in front of the cabin, have got the name Sea Queen painted on them. Dam' if it ain't, here, too, on this tarpaulin." I beat over the rail looking down at the lettering be pointed out. yet with no feeling of uneasiness. "Beyond doubt, that was the yacht's name before the Chilean* government purchased her and 'renamed her Esmeralda for their service. She wee bought from English parties, I've heard. Probably the new owners have found no opportunity to repaint the name." Tuttle drew forth a red bandanna and blew his nose, his voice more sul evJte tree that I tmlgat have "See Here, Mr. Tuttle, Kindly Explain What You Are Driving At." tenly insolent as he resumed speech. "Glad ye take it so cool, an' maybe yer right. However, it looks dam' odd to me." I glanced aside at the wheelman apprehensively. The fellow was gazing straight ahead of him into the rapidly thinning fog. It was the manner of the mate more than his words that impressed me. "See here, Mr. Tuttle," and I dropped my hand rather heavily on his sleeve, "kindly explain exactly what you are driving at. Do you intend to insinuate that we have made a mistake in the dark, and run of with the wrong vessel? Why, man, that is impossible. We are sailors, not landlubbers. Roth of us have had chances to see the Esmeralda, and you certainly knew where she was moored yesterday." "Well, when I come to think it over, I don't feel quite so everlastingly sure about that. The mind o' man Is mighty deceitful," he admitted, slowly. "You see, I never saw her any closer than maybe a mile, an' even then she was half hid behind other shippin'. Of course I took notice of her outline an' rig, but I didn't pay much attention to details. To-night we was all of us excited, an' colors don't show up much in the dark! Now, her funnel is painted red, an' unless I'm a liar the Esmeralda's was black with a yaller stripe round the top. You see. Mr. Stephens, we kept in pretty close under cover all yesterday, an' maybe they hauled the Esmeralda up to the government docks, and run another boat into her anchorage." I laughed aloud, not in the least impressed with his argument. "A very likely story that there were two vessels in that harbor so near alike as to deceive all of us." He remained stubbornly silent, evidently unconvinced, plucking at his chin-beard. "There is a certain way of settling the matter," I went on, decisively, "that is, by an examination of the papers in the cabin. Take charge of the bridge, and I'll run down and clear up this affair beyond any further controversy. We may even have one of the ship's officers stowed away there, sleeping off his late celebration. If there la, he's due for a rude awakening. Keep the yacht's head as she is, and 111 be back directly." 1 waa aware that be watched me closely as t descended the steps, but fell Httle interest in such surveillance. That we could have been guilty of to serious an error as be suggested waa beyond possibility. Nevertheless the the. con- \ mere suspicion was irritating, leaving ate tiled with a vafue unrest It was Esmerajde i s 1*Am. eft* appssasion to study her linet with oars at any time.

If vw« were, indeed, os board the wroag vessel, it was toots no Isnoceai mistake e! the darkless, but rather the result of deliberate plan, the raM purpose of which was beyond my comprehension. I swore savagely under my breath, even as 1 laughed sarcastically at the vague suspicion, aroused largely, as 1 «eU realised* by my increasing dislike of the ea-whaleman The wrong ship? Why, the 'very conception of such sa sirrtdesit was grotesque, ridimiloiiSj jEs* yoad belief! It was the hallucination ol a tool. One of the men assisted me to unbar the" slide across the companlonway, and, bidding him stand by ready for a hall, 1 started below, my fingers en the brass rail, my feet firm os the rubber-lined stairs. These led into as handsome a seaparlor as ever I remember gating upon. Everything was effective and in elaborate taste, evidencing aa expenditure that made me stare about la amasement So deeply did It impress me that I remained there grasping the the rail, gating about in surprise, hesitating to press my investigations further. Tet this feeling was but momentary, the very desertion and s i fence qoickJyeoMinctog me that the cabin contained no occupants. The movement of the vessel, the trampling of men on the deck, and the ceaseless noiee of the screw were more noticeable here than forward, and no seaman, however overloaded with liquoi he might have been the night before, could have slept undisturbed through the hubbub and changes of the past few hours. Inspired to activity by this knowledge, and eager to settle the identity of our prize. I began closer examination of that Impressive interior, although not entirely relieved from the spell of its royal magnificence. Six doors, three upon each side, opened off from the main cabin. The fulllength mirrors occupied the spaces between, and the doors themselves were marvels of decoration and carving. Another, beneath the stairs, led directly Into the steward's pantry, and revealed, besides, a passageway leading forward, probably to the lazarette amidships. The others, as I tried their brass knobs, exhibited merely comfortable staterooms, fitted up for officers' use; three contained two bunks each, the others only one. Four of the beds had been carefully made, but the remainder were in disorder, as though quite lately occupied. Everything impressed me as unusually clean and neat, evincing strict discipline. The only desk I noticed was a roll-top affair, securely locked, and with no litter of papers lying anywhere about. This, I figured, was probably the berth of the first officer; the captain's room would naturally be the one farthest astern. The uprlerht piano, with the highbacked cushioned chairs surrounding it, blocked my view aft, but on rounding these I observed a closed door, which apparently led into a room extending the entire width of the cabin. Never suspecting that it might be occupied, I grasped the brass knob, and stepped within. Instantly I came to a full stop, dazed by astonishment, my teeth clenched In quick effort at self-control. The entire scene burst in upon my consciousness with that first surprised survey—the draped portholes opening out upon the gray fog-bank, the brass bed screwed to the deck, the chairs upholstered In green plush, the polished table with a vase of flowers topping it, the glistening front of a book-case In the corner, the tiger rug into which my fe.et sank. All these things I perceived, scarcely realzing that I did so. for my one true impression concentrated itself upon the living occupants. There were two present. At a low dressing table, her back toward me, fronting a mirror, yet with eyes fastened upon an open book lying in her lap, sat a woman. The lowered head yielded me only an Indistinct outline of her features, yet the full throat and rounded cheek gave pledge of both youth and beauty. Standing almost cvectly behind her chair, with short, curly locks, crowned by a smart white cap, her hands busied amid her mist*esses' tresses, was a maid, petite, roguish, fluttering about like a humming bird. The latter saw me at once, pausing in her work with eyes wide open In surprise, but the preoccupied mistress did not even glance up. She must have heard the sound of the door, however, for she spoke carelessly: "I thought you were never coming. What caused you to sail so suddenly?" These unexpected words, uttered so naturally, served partially to arouse me from the dull torpor of surprise. I olenched my hands, wondering if I was really awake, and stared back into the frightened eyet of the maid, who appeared equally incapable of articulation. Suddenly the found voice.

Their faces swam before me in the gray light streaming through the stern porta; the maid already attempting a smile,, as though her fears had subsided, the mistress viewing me in wondering perplexity. She it was who first succeeded in breaking the embarrassing silence. "But, senor, what does this all mean? Why are you here on board the yacht?" With strong effort at control I brought my tenses together, desperately fronting the disagreeable situation, feeling myself scarcely less a victim than she. If all that 1 now dimly suspected proved true, about us both were being drawn the cords of treachery. "I cannot explain, madame," I began lamely enough.

Prompt and Concise Answer to Categorical Question. Boston, Massachusetts, has long enjoyed the reputation of having exceedingly learned children who are able, so it is said, to dispute on subjects far above the heads of their elders of oth er regions. But Boston Is not unique. In a book entitled "The Scot of the Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren describes a similar characteristic of the Caledonian. It is the inevitable tendency of the Scot's mind to follow out every line to its terminus, even If it be over t precipice, and to divide every hair till infinity is touched. It is not only in church courts, bnt tn market places and in railway stations, in humble cottages as well as in university societies that the Scot is disputing, In every spare moment of his time, from morning till night The story goes that a minister overheard a mother questioning her child, as it supped its porridge, after the day's work was done. "What," said this austere mother, "is the true relation between kirk and state, according to the principles of the Free church?" And the favored child .promptly replied: "Coordinate jurisdiction with mutual subordination."—Youth's Companion. Gangrene of Caste In Indls. Those who have not lived in India nor have made a special study of its unique conditions can hardly understand the differences and hatreds that exist among the different peoples. Between the Mussulman and the Hindu, the Punjabi and the Bengali, the Sikh and the Brahmin, and between many of the smaller divisions of religion, race and caste there it no .^uch thing as cohesion or co-operation; and if, to a small degree, the rigid lines of caste have been broken down here and there so that labor and commerce under modern conditions have been made possible it is due in no small degree to the efforts of Great Britain.

It is certainly the most satisfactory garden fruit and the greatest Novelty ever introduced. - The average man is always paid average wages. RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS *1 had ectema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctora but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent' and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was tpretding all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were aearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who hat any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. "My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with ectema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it alwayt proved successful. Mrs. M. E.

There is an old rhyme that reads: Plow deep while singgarda sleep. I don't think we farmers of the present day need take as much notice of it as if it read: Plow shallow for the grain that's yellow. ID the olden times and undoubtedly when the words meant something. They had not the plows that would plow deep, as we understand deep plowing. la 1800 the will have p l e n t y of t i m e t o reflect ! plows used on the farm were made of a b o n t t h e way of t h e transgressor w o o d > 8 h o d w i t h 8 t r a P i r o u - T h e v c o u l d etc. W e l l , there are others. not be made to dig deep, neither could they have turned the furrow if run deep, j and I think that is the reason they said plow deep, etc. They could not plow as ment.

I can't see dial the resaH of deep plowing is and hat been, expected of it 3p yfan ago. The paper was dlscuaeed . somewhat and the hulk" of opinion- seemed in favor of plowing to toe depth that the soil demanded.. The lighter the soil the more shallow it should be plowed. The subject was so closely connected With the one following by Mr. Taylor that he retrained from discussing it but brought out some points in h|s talk; Cultivating and Feeding- the Soil, in which be said ' many good things. We must cultivate our fields well in order to work into them the ingredients that go to make up good soil. The more we work the land the better and the more moist it becomes and moisture we must have to have the other ingredients. Plowing in part of soil cultivation and in many instances 4 or 5 inches is plenty deep enough and even good cultivation is better than plowing if the soil is in the right condition, like after corn or peas on which you wish to sow wheat. On heavy clay loam it may be necessary to plow 7 or 8 inches. I believe with the paper that many plow too deep, especially on light soils. In raising corn, and that is one of the best crops even for a Michigan farmer, we must have moisture and if a dry * seuson and it U not tiled we rat?st supply moisture by thorough cultivation. Perpbaps more corn can be grown in a orooked row of corn than a straight one, but yon cannot cultiyate it as well and that you must 1o, so plant it straight by all m'eans. For soil feed there is no crop we can tie to like clover. We must learn to laise more alfalfa as that is more sure than common clover and supplies more teed. We must have waterV humus, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, these can be supplied by ma-oy of the fertilizers, but there is none better than raising stock—sheep or cows especially. While I am not advertising any kind of a manure spreader, I will say that I think there is no more paying or useful machine for the farm as it puts the manure where you want it and evenly. Some advocate the subsoil plow but I think there is no better plow of that kind tban clover—it does its work and also gives you a return in feed. The man who arrows clover and raises stock will not have to buy nitrouan C o n t i n u e d Next W e e k . BAKE-DAY.

A About the. "time the deacon lost his wife Mrk Samautfta Taylor?'living in the same village, lost tier husband. She also, had a-thirty-.foot monument in her mind, and she also scaled it down to a plain, cheap stone. Further, there came u time when gossip criticised her for the unmarked grave, and sue set about doling something. She bad removed to another village, bnt gossip follows one everywhere. It thus came about* one summer day. when the deacon drove out to: the country graveyard to fix tip things, h<? found the widow there for the same object The graves of their dead were not fifty feet apart. The deacon bad a look of sorrow on. his face and the widow had tears in her eyes as, they shook hands. "He was a noble man," said the deacon, referring, of course, te the lamented Taylor. "And she was ail that a wife should .be," replied, the ' widow, referring, of coarse, to the lamented Mrs. Piatt.' "I am glad to know tkat you mourn him." > "And I am glad to M o w that you mourn her.V "Her time bad come, and she had to go." "And the/Same with him." The weeds had to be eleared away and the mounds rounded up and sodded and the stones set. They worked together at this. They Borrowed for about half an hour, and then it was something else. When their.backs ached and they were ready to quit work for the day the deacon helped her into her bujjgy with the remark: "I have seemed to feel Mrs. Piatt looking down on me this afternoon." "And I hare felt the presence of my dear lost husband." she replied. Then they both looked very solemn, and she drove away to return on the morrow and find the deacon there before her. He repeated that her lamented was a noble man, and she repeated that his lamented was all that a wife should be. They out down and lugged away weeds and briers and brought dirt and sods, and when they rested they sat close together on an i old bench. It was during one of these j resting spells that the deacon sighed i three times in Succession and said: "Widder Taylor, -when night had ' come and you were sitting alone in ] your lonesoraeness did you ever think i it possible that you could find another j man as good as George was?" j "Why, while he was a noble man, | there must be other noble men in the j world." she replied. i "Yes, widder, and other noble worn- ! en, though I never had no fault to flud with Banner. I am sure w e loved •em." i "Yes, we did." 1 "And it prrleved us to see them go." "It did." j "But they are better off in that! ' brighter land." ; Then they parted and went home, i and it was noticeable that neither J looked as solemn as before. They were not smiling, but the solemn looks had somehow chased themselves away. The next day was to see the end of their work, and they both got there early. The deacon seemed to press the widow's hand when he helped her out of the buggy, and she seemed a bit confused over it, but this may have been all imagination. By midafternoon the stones were In place, and as they retreated a few paces to survey them the deacon solemnly said: "Widder, if your lost husband can look down on earth he i* seeing that stun and saying to himself that it's good enough for anybody." "Yes," she sighed, "and your Hanner must say the same thing. We could have got monuments, of course, b u t " - "But m«uuine«ts attract lightning." finished .the deacon. "And are blown over in high winds." "And crows use them to roost on. Yes, I think our lost ones ought to feel (autre chirpy. We have the beat two tots here." "And they are picturesunoly situated, deacon." Then the deacon led bur out to the gate and, her tmggy. They walked at a slow pace, and neither seemed to notice that he was holding her hand. : "When she had been seated In the vehicle the den eon r*»r«t » ***** ftn,'. •Til 4* eg^friMty'*.

Long before the Christian era the Romans celebrated the feast of the Lupercalla—the Joint festival of Juno and Pan-—on February 15 each year. Pan waa a rustic god. formed in similitude of nature, whence he was called Parf, whlcti means "all." It was feigned * by <he poets that be struggled with J-ove acd was conquered by him and it became proverbial that "Lover conquers all, Omnia Vlnclt Amor." Juno, wits the goddess of marriage, the "yolter" of yotttas snd maidens. In the year of our Lord A. D. 496 Roman you the and maidens still were celebrating the Lupercalla. st which the names of* young women were,cast tnto aor art;and draws by bHrrtfol<Jed .matt,; T»|t maid thus drawn was the young man's "vslen tlue" and the association resulting from this drawing of lots usually lasted for a year. The festival ended In an extravagant feast, and. ouite often. In scandalous orgies. This sort of thing became offensive to the church and, Pope Gelaslus ordered a change. Now, H so happened that one of the most .austere saints In the Christian calendar, good Bishop St. Valentine, had been put to death, during the Clandian persecution, on February 14, A. D. 270, for the simple miracle of opening the blind eyes of his Jailer's daughter. Accordingly the day of the festival was changed to February 14 and the name of the good bishop substituted for the old one. The names he drew. How long the Christian youth "stood for" Ibis we have no meant of knowing but 8L .yeletttlae's aatae atuok to the day henceforward. It seems, however, that in the sixteenth century, in Prance, the boys were choosing girls' names and the girls boys' names, so that each had two valentines; and ar*.ln we find the church Interfering. This time It was the Bishop St. Francis de Sales who ende.vored to suppress this survival or Paganism by the same old device which Pope Gelaslus had tried Uut good St. Francis reckoned with due consideration for human nature, the spring of youth and love making, which after all ex lata In Christian youth aB well as pagan. And so the young people triumphed over this saint and returned by,degrees to their heathenish practices and cavalier* nd lady, by lot. exchanged smiles and silken favors. Balls and fetes were given In honor of the festal day and In some places the tendeT bond endured for av year, according to the old Roman custom. It behooves the man, woman or child who expects to send out love messages this February 14 to do the shopping at once, for the valentine trade Is not only beavter this year than ever before, but it began earlier, the middle of January seeing purchases made, while at the more popular book shops orders were placed before the Btodr arrived. Foresljjhted hostesses, making plans for valentine parties, made purchases by the, do«en. and the result has been that many of the novelties have been snapped up before they were unpacked. The variety remaining la a large one. however, for the trade proves to be one of extreme*, and, while the postals are the prime favorites, at leant 40 per cent, of the business is attracted to the large, hand-painted valentines of lace paper, celluloid snd satin. Teddy bear postals are niee to have, but, after all, there are many children who BtftT ding to th« old-fashioned idea of a valentine and there are many parents ready to gratify the preference, thinking nothing of spending several dollars on the. exquisite designs which represent the old-fashioned lace and ttaeet ralentinwa in elaborated form. Butterflies of the celluloid, beautifully colored, flower designs, hearts and Cupids make of these valentines really artistic and beautiful creations. Dalnpest of all the valentines, though among the most Inexpensive, are the shape cards, ouslnt little sunbonnet babies and pretty Dutch girls being especially fetchta*.
