IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN PEACE YET Look back at your childhood days- Remember the "doae" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are Injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli* clous "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. CANT GET BEAR OUT OF CAGE Newly Arrived Bruin Presents Problem to the Attendants at Brooklyn Zoo. How to get Brooklyn's new bear out of the cage that he came here in is one of the problems thut is confronting the Prospect purk zoo authorities, according to the Eagle of that city. "The case is so strong that It looks as if nothing less powerful than dynamite would open It," one officer explained. "It is made of very heavy planks, spikes, together with shipbuilders' spikes. The cuge WHS built by the same men who make Norwegian sailing vessels, the most durable in the world." The difficulty of getting Bruin out of the box led to a question as to how the Norwegians, who sent him, managed to get him in. The only hole in the cage Is barely big enough to let him get his nose out. "I guess they must have tied his feet, or wrapped him up in a net nud then built the cage around him," one of tho tall Scandinavians on the Christiaulufjord said. re- Regrets Inevitable.

NOTE RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT •Will Not Make Known Objects of War at This Time, Though a General Statement of Their Probable Demands Is Made—Germany's Position. . . " * -v. , Washington.—Following is the translation of the entente allies' reply to jPresident Wilson's peace note, transjmitted to the state department by Ambassador William G. Sharp In Paris: ! "Ambassador Sharp to the Secretary of State. American Embassy, Pari*, Jan. 10, 1017. "The allied governments have received the note which was delivered to them in the name of the government of the United States on the 19th of December, 1916. They have studied it with the care Imposed upon them both by the exact realization which they have of the gravity of the hour and by the sincere friendship which attaches them to the American people. "In a general way they wish to declare that they pay tribute to the elevation of the sentiment with which the American note is inspired and that they associate themselves with all their hopes with the project for the 'creation of a league of nations to insure peace and justice throughout the >vorld. "They recognise all the advantages for the cause o| humanity and civilisation which the Institution of international agreements destined to avoid •violent conflicts between nations would prevent, agreements which must imply the sanctions necessary to insure their execution and thus to prevent an apparent security from only facilitating new aggressions. "But a discussion of future arrangements destined to insure an enduring peace presupposes a satisfactory settlement of the actual conflict. "The allies have as profound a desire as the government of the United States to terminate as soon as possible a war for which the central empires are responsible and which inflicts such cruel sufferings upon humanity. Not Time for Peace. "But they believe that It is impossible at the present moment to attain a peace which will assure them reparation, restitution, and such guaranties to which they are entitled by the aggression for which the responsibility rests with the central powers and of which the principle itself tended to ruin the security of Europe; a peace which would, on the other hand, permit the establishment of the future of European nations on a solid basis. "The allied nations are conscious that they are not fighting for selfish Interests, but above all to safeguard the independence of peoples, or right, and of humanity. "The allies are fully aware of the losses and suffering which the war has caused to neutrals as well as to belligerents, and they deplore them; but they do not hold themselves responsible for them, having in no way either willed or provoked this war, and they strive to reduce these damages In the measure compatible with the inexorable exigencies of their defense against the violence and the wiles of the enemy. "The allied governments believe that they must protest in the most friendly but in the most specific manner against the assimilation established In the American note between the two groups of belligerents; this assimilation, based upon public declarations by the central powers, is in direct opposition to the evidence, both as regards responsibility for the past and as concerns guaranties for the future; President Wilson In mentioning It certainly had no Intention of associating himself with It "If there Is a historical fact established at the present date, It Is the will' fnl aggression of Germany and Austria- Hungary to insure their hegemony over Europe and their economic domination over the world, "Germany proved by her declaration of war, by the immediate violation of Belgium and Luxemburg, and by tier manner of conducting the war, her systematic contempt for all principles ot humanity and all respect for small states*, as the conflict developed the attitude of the central powers and their allies has been a continual defiance of humanity and civilisation.

"The execution of such a aeries of crimes perpetrated wlthaut any regard for universal reprobation fully explains to President Wilson the protest of the allies. "President Wilson desires more: He desires that the belligerent powers openly affirm the objects which they seek by continuing the war; the allies experience no difficulty in replying to this request "Their objects in the war are well known; they have been formulated on many occasions by the chiefs of their divers governments. Their objecta in the war will not be made known in detail, with all the equitable compensations and indemnities for damage suffered, until the hour of negotiations. Their Terms Stated. "But the civilized world knows that they imply in all necessity and in the first instance the restoration of Belgium, of Serbia, and of Montenegro and the indemnities which are due them; the evacuation of the invaded territories of France, of Russia, and to good, |8.60@9; yearlings, $10g? of Roumania, with just reparation rf*10,50; best handy steers, |8.§0#9.2o; the reorganisation of Europe guaran--,^ light butcher steers, S7®7.50; best teed by a stable regime and founded as much upon respect of nationalities and full security and liberty of economic development which all nations, great or small, possess, as upon territorial conventions and International agreements suitable to guarantee territorial and maritime frontiers against unjustified attacks; the restitution of provinces or territories wrested in the past from the allies by force or against the will of their populations; the liberation of Italians, of Slavs, of Roumanians, and of Tcheco Slovaques (Caeca Slavs) from foreign domination; the enfranchisement of populations subject to the bloody tyranny of the Turks; the expulsion from Europe of the Ottoman empire decidedly . . . (apparent omission) to western civilisation. "The Intentions of his majesty the emperor of Russia regarding Poland liave been clearly Indicated in the proclamation which he has Just addressed to his armies. "It goes without saying that If the allies wish to liberate Europe from the brutal covetousneas of Prussian militarism it never has been their design, as has been alleged, to encompass the extermination of the German peoples and their political disappearance. "That which they desire above all is to Insure a peace upon the principles of liberty and Justice, upon the Inviolable fidelity to international obligations with which the government of the United States has never ceased to be inspired.

It refers to the Gorman treatment of Belgium as "barbarous," and alleges the forme* government, after the occupation of Belgian territory, displayed no better observance of the roles of international law or the stipulations of The Hague convention.

Washington.—Congress dares one day and does not dare the next The majority gets its courage screwed up apparently to the sticking point and then something comes to make It recede rapidly. Congress wants to pass the omnibus buildings bill while the president, It is said, does not want It to pass, and one day it makes up Its mind to pass It and the next day it changes its mind. Years ago the name "pork" was given to each cf two measures which come yearly before congress, the public buildings Dill and the rivers and harbors bill. It Li needless, of course, to say that many of the buildings for whose erection provisions have been made, and many of the rivers and harbors for whose improvement money litis been vcted, have been necessary itsr the good of the country. The charge, however, from both Democrats and Republicans all over the United States Is that proper discrimination Is not made by congress between the good and bad propositions contained in these measures. The friends of such legislation always spring to Its defense. The row has been going on for years. It has been pretty well understood this year that President Wilson does not want his party in congress to pass the public buildings bill as it is at present written. It calls for $38,000,(X)U for the erection of federal buildings In different parts of the country. The necessity of economy is urged by some members of both parties in house and senate as a reason for withholding consideration from the bill ns it has been presented. Its proponents declare that every item In the bill Is Justifiable. The struggle Is on. If the bill passes it is said that the president stands ready to veto it, but this, of course, Is a matter for future consideration. 417 Projects In Bill. The total number of projects provided for In the measure Is 417 with authorizations amounting to $38,794,- 700. Public buildings and their construction are under the control of the treasury department, the secretary of which In his estimates nsks for authorizations of money for building purposes. In the present public buildiug bill the names of 61 towns an3 villages appear of which the treasury department made no mention In Its report In other words, congress, acting on Its own behalf, has gone far beyond the estimates submitted by Secretary McAdoo. The officials of the government this year have said that nearly one-fourth of the entire building appropriation Is needless, tnwlse and extravagant. On the other hand, the members of congress who lesire that these buildings shall be erected say that It Is due to the people of the smaller towns In the country that Uncle Saiu should be represented throughout the land by proper buildings and by adequate facilities for all hi/i purposes and that If the building Is too big the needs of the places will grow to meet it. The basis of the argument really is, however, that as all the people are taxed for all the federal buildings that the smaller places should be given recognition and that Uncle Sam loses nothing by keeping his nephews and nieces satisfied. Want Parks Made Accessible. A conference has just dosed in Washington which brought together a surpassingly Interesting group of men and women. It was the National-Parks conference. There are many congresses or conferences, catt them what you will, in Washington every year, but perhaps more than all the others there attacbes to the National Parks Conference what may be culled the Higher human interest. The object of this ttmference Is to Influence public opinion In favor of national parks, and to i r g e the necessary legislation to make The parks accessible to the people of •he ; country, to maintain them in -ill their original beauty and granteor and to endeavor to find ways And means to secure an "economic hospfaUity" within their limits for Americana wbA ar*» not bteMseO with great tfebea.

A Ichk ordinarily is understood to be a sma'l thing, but the recent leak In this capital city actuuily Inundated the town with excitement. The charge that somebody in advance of the president's peace note told stock speculators that It was to be expected, has beeu exploited pretty thoroughly in'the press. Washington is a gossipy place, and within 24 hours stories were afloat iliat this man or that man, the names being given was responsible for giving away the administration's secrets and for making some millions in Wall street for one set of speculators and losiug thein for another. In the Semite of the United States the chuiroiMi of the committee on foreign relations suld flatly that he believed that trie Jerk had come from the state department and he intimated that he thought It came from employees holding high and confidential positions. This statement of Senator Stone sel the gosslos' tongues wagging once more, but it relieved the anxieties of certain Innocent persons not in the state department whom scandal-loving Washington vhad charged by word of mouth from onr» person to another with being responsible for the betrayal of state secrets.

K.'S APPOINTEES * • • " • P * Home at Grand Rapids Aaks S?*A00O a Year for Maintenance. (By W. U CALNON.) Lansing—Township affairs throughout the state, and the methods of township government, bid fair to occupy much of the limelight during the 1917 session of the legislature, judging by the bills pouring into both the senate and house since the two completed organization. Half a dozen important proposals affecting townships are already in committee for consideration, and others are In course of preparation by various members. Rep. Patrick O'Brien, of Iron River, would like to make a drastic change by amending the constitution so that township highway commissioners no longer would be elected, but would be appointed by the township trustees. His idea is to get greater efficiency in road work by having only experienced men employed, who would have to work in connection with plans prepared by the county surveyors. Rep. O'Brien thinks that in this way the whole good roads movement would be systematized in the counties, under the general direction of the surveyor, Juat as the county work is systematized under the general direction of the state highway commissioner. Tt Is hard to tell here whether the 1,300 or more township highway commissioners in the state will agree with Mr. O'Brien, but the latter intends to find out if the legislature will agree to submit tbe matter to a vote. The Iron River legislator also would like to have township tax assessments published Just before the boards of review start work on th»m. He would make it impossible for any assessments to be changed after such publication, except by direct, open action of the board of review. At present, he contends, the assessments get altered sometimes when the taxpayer isn't looking and he doesn't know it until he comes to pay his taxes. Then he can kick until he loses his voice without its doing him any good, says "Pat." Rep, Hulse, of Clinton county, has Introduced a bill putting all village presidents and trustees on salaries of not to exceed $25 a year each. They would be paid one dollar each for each meeting they actually attended, but if more than 25 meetings were held in any one year the payments would stop when the $25 limit was reached. Senator Covert, of Oakland county, has presented a resolution to amend the constitution by electing all township officers to two year terms instead of one year terms. He contends that greater efficiency could be obtained troit, wants to give townships the option of keeping the polls open In primary elections until 8 p. m., instead of their being forced to close them at 6 p. m . The high cost of living is under fire, as was expected. Senator Tripp, of Allegan, has asked for a committee of both houses to inquire Into the reasons for the shortage of coal and the high prices for what is obtained. Senator Koehler is asking for a resolution informing the Michigan delegation in congress that an embargo should be placed on the shipment of food stuffs and fuel supplies out of tbe country in order to drive prices down here. And Rep. Stevenson has put in a bill to prevent the killing of bulls under two years of age, cows under four years of age and sheep under one year of age. He believer that if this bill becomes law it would furnish the market with more hides. Bilk and wool, even if ft did take veal and baby lamb dishes off the menu. Rap. Merlin Wiley has Introduced a %& ealltag for the transforming of t!x# etate railroad commission into a XpaUt jWHtlaa commission. Tbe bin jial change in the com rnra, bet would raise the baa put In a bill that calls tor a state reward of $900 a mile for screened gravel roads that are 20 feet in width, and $100 a mile extra for each added foot of width. Rep. Weils has introduced a bill providing penalties of 15 to $25 in flat* on any one who injures improved road* by heavy hauling on vehicles that are not equipped with friction locks. Rep. Chew, in another bill, seeks to have Boyne City included in the list of towns on the trunk line highway system of the state. Rep. McArthur, in the house, and Senator Tripp, In the senate, both have introduced bills aiming to repeal tbe mortgage tax law. The honor of being first to have a bill reported out of committee in the 1917 session fell to Rep. Warner, of Ionia county. The bill permits counties which desire to co-operate with other counties in establishing and maintaining tuberculosis sanatoriums to do so, instead of each county being compelled to either build its own or do without. The house public health committee reported this ^P out the day after it was introduced and it took its place on the house calendar as Bill No. 1. Township officials may borrow money to meet necessary expenses where the people have failed to vote such money, if a bill put in by Rep. Wells and referred to the committee on towns and counties is passed by the legislature. Rep. Schmidt, in another bill, seeks to have the time for paying state and county taxes extended to Feb. 1 of each year. Rep. Croll, of Clare county, wants the legislature to put through, quickly enough to have the people vote on it in April, a proposal to amend the constitution so that drainage districts may issue bonds for drainage purposes. Taxing of timber removed from private forest reserves that are exempt from taxation while the timber stands, is aimed at in a bill offered by Rep. Schmidt. Under the terms of this bill, it would be necessary for the owner to obtain a license before he could cut any timber on such private reserve. The license would be issued by the township assessing officer after he had estimated the value of the timber to be cut and it would cost the owner 5 per cent of that value for the license. Also he would have to plant new trees in order to keep his standing as owner of a private forest reserve. State institutions began early to put in their, estimates of what they will need for maintenance during the next two years and for Improvements, buildings, equipment, etc. The normal school at Marquette wants $75,000 for a new building, $95,- 032 for next year; $75,000 for the year after and $3,893 for special purposes. Fifty thousand dollars is asked in another bill to pay off the last of the claims arising out of the Spanish war. A total of $110,000 for the next two years is asked for Marquette prison. The College of Mines wants $77,705 a year and $13,848 for special purposes. The soldiers' home at Grand Rapids asks $250,000 a year for maintenance. A total of $208,000 for maintenance and $65,376 for land and buildings is sought for the girls' industrial school at Adrian. Seems as though some sheriffs and township assessing officers haven't been paying strict attention to the terms of a law enacted at the last in that way. Senator Condon, of De- legislature.

One of the new senators is having a good joke told at his expense by fellow members. The new senator is described as having a very brusque mannerism and as being anxious to get everything located to his satisfaction right after hiB arrival. He approached one of the veteran senators who happened to be standing at the clerk's desk, with a pencil back of his ear and rummaging in a waste basket for some misplaced papers. "J want to get all you fellows placed/ What's your job?" asked the new senator In an authoritative voice. "Oh, I'm the third assistant janitor," said the old senator testily, continuing his search of the waste basket.

The cause of the explosion is a mystery. The cruiser was of 13,750 tons displacement, measuring 440 feet long With a beam of 75 feet. She carried a crew of 817 officers and seamen. Ths Tsubuka was completed in 1907. As the newest and largest batthe f t l e c r u l 8 w ** the Mikado's fleet, she was stnt to the United States to take part is the naval pageant in Hampton Roads, which attracted thousands of spectators attending the Jamestown exposition in May, 1907. She came to New York later, being the first modern warship to bring the Japanese bag past the harbor forts of the city. The Tsubuka made the trip to America in company with the cruiser Ghitose, both being under command of Vice-Admiral Sir Gero Ijuin, then commandtr of the second squadron of the Japanese navy. The warships reached Hampton Roads on May 7, in time for the pageant, in which warships representing nearly all the powers took part. M. A. C.

Why Not Go to Western Canada Now? The writer has frequently heard the remark that "after the "war we will go to Western Canada." It does not occur to those making the remark that If they wish to secure lands in Western Canada, whether by homestead or purchase, the best time to go Is now. After the war the welcome will be Just aa hearty as .ever, but the chances arethat land values will increase and today homesteads are plentiful and land is reasonable in price. There is no question about what the land In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will do, what It will give under proper cultivation. Farmers In Western Canada are paying for their land holdings with thej proceeds of last year's crop. That thisi Is no Idle statement may be gieanedt from the three following items, which are picked out at random: "In the spring of 1916 a half-secttoi* of land was offered for sale at $17.00 per acre. There were 105 acres of summer-fallow, which, because the owner could not at the time find a buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield of 40 bushels per acre, 4,200 bushels all told, grading No. 1, was obtained. The price the day the grain was sold (which was very early in the season* before grain prices advanced to round about $2.00) was $1.60, which brought the handsome total of $6,720.00. Threehundred and twenty acres at $17.00 equals $5,440.00, so that a buyer, by placing less than half of the whole under crop, would have made a profit of $1,280.00."—Robson Messenger, Robson, Sask. "That the 'Indiana Boys' farm this) year raised sufficient crop to pay for the lend, all the machinery and all overhead expenses as well as make a handsome profit, is the information given by N. B. Davis, the manager. The wheat yield was over 22,000 bushels. Of twelve cars already sold, nine graded No. 1, and Mr. Davis has sold over 2,000 bushels locally for,seed at '$2.00. Naturally, when he gets to Indiana he will be a big booster for Alberta."— Bassano Mail, Bassano, Altn. "Oscar Cnstalor, who bought land at Blusson after the crop had been put In last spring, for $3,800.00, has threshed 3,900 bushels of wheat, which is worth at present prices about $7,500.00. He refused an offer of $6,000.00 for the land after the croj* had been taken off."—Lethbridge Herald, Lethbrldge, Alta. Reports from the wheat fields are highly encouraging and show that the wheat crop of many farmers In Western Canada was highly satisfactory. Coblenz, Sask.—W. A. Rose has) threshed an average of 33 bushels per acre and 83 bushels of oats. Glelchen, Alberta.-—Up to date 237,- 812 bushels of grain have been received by local elevators, of which nearly 180,000 bushels were wheat Seventyone cars of grain have already been shipped. Stoop Creek, Sask.—James McRae has threshed 5,400 bushels of grain, 2,000 bushels of which were wheat, grading No. 1 Northern. One field averaged 44 bushels per acre, and a large field of oats averaged 83 bushels.

Previous installments of "The Destroying Angel" told how Hugh Whltaker, thinking he faced death, married an innocent girl to save her honor and left the country Immediately. Five years later he reappeared in New York, robust and wealthy, and found an old friend, Drummond, engaged to marry his supposed widow, now a famous actress known as Sara Law. She disappeared. Drummend is thought to have committed *-.-1- elde, as her previous lovers had done. Whitaker learned he was endangered by mysterious agents and went to the country place of Martin Ember, his friend. Drummend turned up* a raving morphomaniac, and tried to kill Whltaker, who was helped by a beautiful Miss Flake. * • _ . _ CHAPTER XH—Continued. —14— •The most amiable person I know r be cried, elated. "Greetings!" She paused by the steps, looking up, a fascinating vision. "You're able to stand without assistance?" "As a matter of fact, I can move Only at the cost of excruciating agony.** She considered him with a sober face and smiling eyes. "I don't believe you. You're a fraud.

If I promise to come over this evening and play you a rubber or two—will you permit me to go home now?" "On such terms m do anything you can possibly suggest," he declared, enchanted. "But . . . how will you get here? Not alone, through the woods! I can't permit that" "Elsie shall row me down the shore and then go back to keep cook company.

Must you really go so soon?** "Good afternoon." she returned demurely ; and ran down the -steps and off to her boat Smiling quietly to himself, Whitaker watched her cast the boat off, get under way, and swing It out of sight behind the trees. Then his smile wavered and faded and gave place to a look of acute discontent Three mortal hours to fritter away In profitless anticipation . • • At seven Whitaker was merely nervous. By eight he was unable to sit ttllL ' Half an hour later the house was too smaU to contain him. He found himself at the end of the dock, gngUng with impatience, but finding some Uttle consolation In the restless sweep of the wind against his face and body. He could see Uttle—a mere suggestion of the shore line picked out with the dim. semlpbosphorescent glow of breaking wavelets. Some minutes eUpsed. The pallor of the east grew more marked. Whitaker fancied he could detect a figure moving on the flake dock. Then, startled, he grew conscious of the thick drone of a heavily-powered motor boat near Inshore. Turning quickly, he discovered a black* vague shape not twenty yards from where he stood, showing neither bow DOT sidelights: a stealthy and mysterious apparition creeping toward the dock with something of the effect of an animal shout to spring. And Immediately he heard a man's voice from the host, abrupt with anger: ; "Not this place, you ass—the next" • "Slot up," another voice replied. ^There's somebody on that ,dock.* At the same time the bows of the boat swung off and the shadow slipped •way to westward—toward the Flake place. A wondering apotesienslon of nameless and desperate somehow Involving the ' obsessed Ms Qwnghts. crawled hi Whttaker* s mind. Aetomatfcalty he tamed back, let himself down to the beach, sad began to pfdt his way toward the Flake dock, half naming desalts Ms •tiff ankle. But he had not gone hntt the way before he pulled op with a t h m * " ! neart. startled beyond es> by a cry In the night ef wild appeal ami protest lug ahead, he could distinguish dimly shapes about the dock and upon it that seemed to bear out his most cruel fears. The power boat was passably distinct her white side showing plainly through the tempered darkness. Midway down the dock he made out struggling figures—two of them, he Judged; a man at close grips with a frantic woman. And where the structure joined the land, a second pair, again a man and a woman, strove and swayed. For ail his haste, he was too slow; he was still a'fair thirty yards away when the struggle on the dock ended abruptly wKh the collapse of the woman; it was as if," he thought, her strength had failed all In an instant— as if she had fainted. He saw the man catch her up in his arms, where-she lay limp and unresisting, and with this burden step from the stage to the boat and disappear from sight beneath the coaming. An instant later he reappeared, standing at full height to the cockpit Without warning bis arm straightened out and a tongue of flame jetted from his hand; there was a report ; in the same breath a bullet buried itself in the low earth bank on Whitaker* s right Heedless, be pelted on. The shot seemed to signal the end of the other struggle at the landing stage. Scarcely had it rung out ere Whitaker saw the man lift a fist and dash it brutally Into the woman's face. Without a sound audible at that distance she reeled and felf away; while the man turned, ran swiftly out to the end of the dock, cast off the headwarp and jumped aboard the boat She began to sheer off as Whitaker set foot upon the stage. She was twenty feet distant when he found himself both at Its end and at the end of his resource. Frantic with despair, he thrashed the air with impotent arms; a fair mark, his white garments *h<ntng bright against the dark background of the land. Aboard the moving boat an automatic fluttered, spitting ten shots In as many seconds. The thud and splash of bullets all round him brought him to his senses. Choking with rage, be stumbled back to the land. On the narrow beach, near the dock, a small flat-bottomed rowboat lay, Its stern afloat, its bows aground—as It had been left by the women surprised in the act of launching It Jumping down, Whitaker put his shoulder to the stem. As he did so, the other woman roused, got unsteadily to her feet, screamed, then catching sight of him staggered to his aide. It was—as he had assumed—the maid, EUse. "M'sieur r she shrieked, thrusting s tragic face with bruised and bloodstained month dose to his. "Ah, m'sieur—madame—cos canailles-la—I" "Yea, I know," he said brusquely. "Get oat of the way—don't hinder me!" The boat was now all afloat He jumped In, dropped upon the middle thwart, and fitted the oars In the rowlocks. "But, m'sieur, what mean yen to d o r MDont know yet," he panted—"follow— keep them In sight—* The blades dipped; he bent his back to them; the rowboat shot away. A glance over his shoulder showed him the boat of the marauders already well away. She now wore running lights; the red lamp swung Into view as he glanced, like an obscene and sardonic eye. They were, then, making eastwards. He wrought only the mors lustily with the oars. Happily the Flake motor boat swung at a mooting not a great distance from the shore, 8nrprlstnfty soon he had the small boat alongside. Hastily ha the switch and started the motor. Half a mile away the red light swuuy eastwarii prei The Trouble leaped out like a Mve thing, settling to Its coarse with the of an arrow truly loosed, critic of Ms toward the shore, then shot into the mouth of a narrow Indentation. For two or three minutes he could see nothing of the other. Then he emerged from a tortuous and constricted channel into a deep cut, perhaps fifty feet In width and spanned by a drawbridge and a railroad trestle. At the farther end of this tidegate canal connecting the Great West bay with the Great Peeonic, the leading power boat was visible, heading out at full speed, the half-mile lead fully re-established. Empty .of all other craft weird and desolate In moonlight the Little l*eeonic waters widened and then narrowed about the flying vessels. Shore lights watched them, now dim* and Car, now bright and near at hand. Shelter Island sound received them, slapped their flanks encouragingly with Its racing waves, sped them with an ebbing tide that tore seawards between constricted shores into the lonelier wastes of Gardiner's bay. Their relative positions were unchanged: still the Trouble retained her position. When the chase rounded the buoy, instead of standing, as any reasonable beings might have been expected to, on to Fisher's Island or at a tangent north toward the Connecticut littoral, they swung off something south of east —a course that could lead them nowhere but to the Immensities of the sea Itself. Whltaker's breath caught in his throat as he examined this startling prospect He shook a dubious, vastly troubled head. But he held on grimly in the face of dire forebodings. Once out from under the lee of Gardiner's island, a heavier run of waves beset them, catching the boats almost squarely on the beam: fortunately a sea of long, smooth, slow shouldering rollers, as yet not angry. Now and again, for all that, one would favor the Trouble with a quartering slap that sent a shower of spray aboard *er to drench Whitaker and swash noisily round the cockpit ere the selfbailing channels could carry It off. He was quickly wet to the skin and shivering. The hour was past midnight and the strong air whipping In from the open sea had a bitter edge. They still had moonlight but the wind was blowing with an insistent unintermittent force It had not before developed. A base, vaguely opalescent encircled the horizon like a ghost of absinthe. By four-thirty, when the twilight was moderately bright Whitaker was barely able to distinguish the leading boat The two seemed as if suspended, struggling like Impaled Insects, the one in the midst, the other near the edge, of a watery pit walled in by vapors. The end came just before dawn, with a swiftness that stunned the faculties— as though one saw the naked wrath of God leap like lightning from the sky. AIRSHIPS NOW SE WIRELESS Heretofore Massages Could Net Be Received on Account of Noise— Difficulty Overcome. Upon his return to London from Italy, GugUelmo Marconi, in an interview with British journalists, gave the following information: "New developments will not only make wireless communication in this war more enV dent than ever before, but will make it more difficult for the enemy to inter* eept meaeages. These Improvements will apply to instruments in aeroplanes and airships. Hitherto aeroplanes nave been at a disadvantage with airships in wireless work, for although they were able to transmit messagesr they have not been sole to receive them. This was because the receiving signal was too faint to be dlstlngaiahed. being drowned by the noise of the aeroplane engine. Now we have been sole to strengthen the receiving signal sufficiently to enable messages to be "Please, mister* have you got any for a poor, man what aiat had aothta* to eat for three daysi? •What Mad of wort can yon del* •attar Than He Hoped.

The harsh, shapeless light of Imminent day alone manufactured a color of difference: Whitaker now was able to see as two dark shapes the men In the body of the leading boat Now suddenly the man at the wheel cried out something In a terrible voice of fright so high and vehement that it even carried back against the booming gale for Whitaker to hear. Simultaneously he put the wheel over, with all his might. The other jumped from his seat, only to be thrown back as the little vessel swung broadside to the sea, heeling until she lay almost on her beam ends. The next instant she ceased, Incredibly, to move—hung motionless in that resistless surge, an amazing, stupefying spectacle. It seemed minutes before Whitaker could force his wits to comprehend that she had struck and lay transfixed upon some submerged rock or reef. A long, gray roller swept upon and over her, brimming her cockpit with foaming* water. As It passed he saw Aboard the Moving Boat an Automatic Fluttered. the half-drowned men release the coamings, to which they had clung on involuntary Impulse to escape being swept away, scramble upon the cabin roof, and with one accord abandon themselves to the will of the next wave to follow. As It broke over the boat and passed, he caught an Instantaneous glimpse of their heads and arms bobbing and beating frantically as they whirled off through the yeasty welter. But he saw this without pity or compassion. If he had been able to have his will with them, he would have sunk both ten fathoms deep without an Instant's respite. His throat was choked with curses that welled up from a heart wrenched and raging at this discovery of cowardice unparalleled. They had done what they could for themselves without even hesitating to release the woman Imprisoned la the cabin.

I.aat season it happened that the races were close in both organizations, but aa a rule that old proposition set forth by George Stalling, that the clubg finish as they stand on July 4, holds good. At any rate by the closing month of the season interest has been pretty well destroyed in all but about, three cities In each league. Then comes the world's series, which is of vital inter est in two cities only. Its general in J Hill tere&t, of course, Is wide, but the fanwho travel from Chicago, for instance. 'to a big series in Xew York numbei but a few hundred, ( Yet there are thousands of rooters in Chicago. There lnljrht bo 50,000 fan^ at a world's series, but that number doesn't a mount to much when compared with tlie number of rooters in all major league* cities. .The ideal thing, therefore, both from + | a sporting and business standpoint * j WoQld bo to dope out gome method to j keep all of tha fans interested all .of ! the time. If £ou could keep the eleven cities represented In the big leagues ui fever heat all season as far as baseball was concerned you can make yeur own j guess «1 ilio profits. The ma.jor league season consists of i 154 game-. If that number was cut to 124 the i'a>-< s would finish about the l*t ] of Sopu'inhe:.

"Moonrtse and a fine, clear night," he said, staring through the wire mesh of the screen. "Wish you were well enough to go riding with me. However, you won't be laid up long, I fancy. And Til be back day after tomorrow. Now I must cut along." And within ten minutes Whitaker heard the motor car rumble off on the woodland road. He wasn't altogether sorry to be left to his own society, but in spite of his half-hearted perturbation and dissatisfaction, the weariness of a long, full day was so heavy upon him that he went to sleep almost before Sum Fat had finished making him comfortable. Extinguishing the candle, the Chinaman, moving with the silent assurance of a cat in the dark, closed and latched the shutters, then sat down Just outside the living-room door, to wait and watch, slecplessly alert. An hour passed in silence, and another, and yet another. Sum Fat sat moveless in the shadow, which blended so perfectly with his dark blue silk garments as to render him almost indistinguishable— a figure as patient and Imperturbable as any bland, stout, graven god of his religion. But in time there fell upon his ears another sound, to which he stirred, If imperceptiblydrawing himself together, tensing and flexing his tired muscles while his eyes shifted quickly from one quarter to another of the darkened living room and the still more dark bedchamber. And yet apparently all that had roused him was the drowsy whistle of a whippoorwill. Then, with no other presage, a shadow flitted past one of the side windows, and in another reappeared more substantially on the veranda. Sum Fat grew altogether tense, his gaze fixed and exclusively focused upon that apparition. Cautiously, noiselessly, edging Inch by Inch across the veranda, the man iched the door. It was open. A long minute elapsed. Even Sam held bis breath throughout that lnable reconnoissance. At length, reassured, the man slipped into the room. Another minute: no 'sound detectable more untoward than that of steady respiration in the bedroom; with a movement as swift and sinister as the swoop of a vulture, the man sprang toward the bedroom door. Leaping from a sitting position, with a bound that was little less than a flight through the air, the Chinaman caught him halfway. There followed a shriek, a heavy fall that shook the bungalow, the report of a revolver, sounds of scuffling . . . Whitaker, half dazed, found himself standing in the doorway, regardless of bis injury. He saw, as one who dreams and yet Is conadow tlstt he does but dream. Ember lighting candles—calmly applying the flame of a taper to one after another as ho made a round of the fence*, Sum Fat was kneeling on all para, above something that breathed heavily and straggled without avail. Whttaker*s steep-numbed faculties For an Instant his captive seemed reluctant to rise. Ember moved to his side and stood over him, balancing the revolver in his palm. "Come," he said impatiently. "Up with you!" The man sat up as if galvanized by fear, got more slowly to his knees, then, grasping the edge of the table, dragged himself laboriously to a standing position. Whitaker's Jaw dropped and his eyes widened with wonder and pity. He couldn't deny the man, yet he found It hard to believe that this quivering, shaken creature, with his lean and pasty face and desperate, glaring eyes, this man in rough, stained, soiled and shapeless garments, could be identical with the well-set-up, prosperous and confident man of affairs he remembered as Drummond. And yet they were one. Appalling to contemplate the swift, devastating course of moral degeneration, that had spread like gangrene through all the man's physical and mocital fiber . . . "Take a good look,'* Ember advised grimly. "How about that pet myth thing now? What price the astute sleuth—eh? Perhaps you'd like to take a few mdre funny cracks at my simple faith in hallucinations. "I had a notion he'd be hanging around," Ember'went on; "I thought I saw somebody hiding in the woods this afternoon; an/1 then I was sure I saw him skulking round the edges of the clearing after dinner. So I set Sum Fat to watch, drove back to the village to mislead him, left my car there and walked back. And sure enough—!" Without comment, Whitaker, unable to stand any longer without discomfort hobbled to a chair and sat down. "Welir Drummond demanded harsh* ly In a qnaverlng snarl "Now that you've got me, what're yon going to do with meV* There was a high, hysterical accent In his voice that struck unpleasantly on Ember's ear. He cocked his head to one side, studying the man intently. Drummond flung himself a step away from the table, paused, and again faced his captors with bravado. "Well?" he cried again. "Welir Ember nodded toward Whitaker. "Ask him," he said briefly. Whitaker shook his head. It was difficult to think how to deal with this trapped animal, so wildly different from the cultivated gentleman he always had In mind when he thought of Drummond. The futility of attempting to deal with him according to any code recognized by men of honor was wretchedly apparent "Drummond," he said slowly, "I wish to God yon hadn't done this thing." Drummond laughed discordantly. "Keep your mealy-mouthed compassion for yourself," he retorted, sneering. Whitaker gave a gesture of despair. "If you'd only been content to keep out of the way . . . 1 If only you'd let me alone—*• T h e n yon let Bars Law alone, d*yon h e a r r The interruption was little short of s shriek. Ember motioned to Bom Fat» who quietly drew nearer. "I swear I dont know what to do or held him*as he would have held an unruly child. When a break in Drun> uiond's ravings came at length, together with a gradual weakening of the mun's struggles, the detective turned to Whitaker. "Sorry," he said. "I didn't dure take any further chances. He'd have been at your throat In another minute. It isn't as if we hud simply un everyday crook to deal with," Ember went on, upproachlng the man. "He's not to be trusted or reasoned with. He's Just short of a raving morphomaiiittc, or I miss my guess." With a quick movement he caught Drummond's left arm, pulled the sleeve of his coat back to the elbow, unbuttoned and turned buck his cuff. "Hmm—yes," he continued, bending over to Inspect the exposed forearm, in spite of Drummond's efforts to twist away. "Deadly work of the busy little needle. Good Lord, he's fuirly riddled with punctures!" "That explains . . ." Whitaker muttered, sickened. "It explains a lot," Ember readjusted the sleeve and turned away. "And it shows us our path of duty, clear," Ue continued, despite interruptions from the maddened drug fiend. "I think a nice little sojourn in a sanatorium— what?" "Right," Whitaker agreed, relieved. "We'll see what a cure does for him before we Indulge In criminal proceedings— shall we?" "By all means." "Good." Ember glanced at his watch. "I'll have to hurry along now—must be in town not later than nine o'clock this morning. Til take him with me. No, don't worry—I can handle him easily. It's a bit of a walk to the village, but that will only help to quiet him down. Til be back tomorrow; meanwhile, you'll be able to sleep soundly unless—" He checked, frowning thoughtfully. "Unless what?" Ember Jerked his head to indicate the prisoner. "Of course, this isn't by any chance the fellow you mixed it up with over on the beach—and so forth?" "Nothing like him." "Queer. I can't find any trace of him—the other one—nor can I account for him. He doesn't seem to fit in anyto realize) that he had lived too long a hermit For six years he had been practically isolated and cut off from the better half of existence; femininity had formed no factor in his cosmos. But now, of a sudden, he had been granted a flash of insight Into the true significance of companionship between a man and a woman who had something in common aside from community In their generation. Not two hours altogether of such Intercourse had been his, but it had been enough to Infuse all his consciousness with a vague but irking discontent He had lashed himself Into a very respectable transport of resentful rage when, chancing to lift his eyes from their absorbed study of the planks composing the veranda floor, he discovered a motor boat at the landing stage. At once a smile of childlike serenity displaced the scowl The woman made the little vessel fast and, turning, came swinging up the gentle slope to the veranda, ease and strength and Joy of living Inherent in every flowing movement No Imaginable consideration, however selfish, could have kept Whltacre any longer in his chair. r he cried.

When I was your age I tried to take some of the work off my poor mother's back. I didn't want to'spend all my time with some silly, giggling girl like that chum of yours." After listening to this, daughter went to grandma and said to her: "You must have had an awfully easy time when mamma was growing up. She stayed at home almost all the time, and helped you with the cooking, milking, washing and other work." Then said grandma: "She helped me with the work? I'd like to know when she helped me.

A mother whose son was sentenced to the Marion county workhouse recently from Juvenile court, entered court a few days ago, and said that she wished to speak to Judge Frank J. Lahr in regard to her son, says the Indianapolis News. "Judge," said the woman, "1 was out at the workhouse yesterday, and my boy tells roe he is not getting enough to eat. I think something ought to be done about it" Judge Lahr assured the woman that the son's assertion could not be true, but when she Insisted, he called the superintendent by telephone and inquired. "Hold the phone a minute," said the superintendent "and Til look him np." "Hello, judge." finally came back over the wire, "that man is working as a cook, and is sick today from eat* ing too much at his work." Cause for Alarm. "My nephew, Virgil Pucker, had been sick for quite awhile," related old Riley Bezzidew. "and as soon as be was able to totter around In the house he wabbled out into the kitchen. Presently we heard a thud, and ran there to find him senseless on the floor. When he came to himself he told us that It was practically all over with him—he new he would never be any better, for his face was so bulged and twisted out of shape that nobody could possibly look as he did and live longer.

FIRST BILL ROBERTS-DE LAND People of Michigan Are Enthusiastic "Over the Good Road Movement— Many Other Items of Interest. (BY. W. L. CALNON.) Lansing, Mich.—With all details and formalities connected with the opening the forty-ninth session of the legislature disposed of, the senate and house now have under way the actual work that will continue, it is thought, for the next four months. Introduction of bills, which began with the opening day ceremonies in the senate, ia continuing in the house at present and furnishlrxg the committees with material to start their deliberations. The first bill of the session was the Roberts-DeLand bill, introduced in the senate, to create a budget commission. The latter body is to be made up, according to the bill, of the governor, the auditor general and a $5,000 a year budget commissioner to be named by the governor. The idea ia to have all state institutions submit by October 1 every other year a statement of their needs in the appropriation line, and for all persons having claims against the state to file them with the auditor general by the same date. The budget commissioner then is to compile everything needed In connection with the budget and the governor is to submit It at the opening of each regular session. Most interest at thlt time lies in the bills that are forthcoming on the prohibition issue and which will carry into effect the constitutional amendment adopted by the people of the state last November for statewide prohibition. Some members of each house are rather perturbed over the question as to whether or not the people's vote meant stringent prohibition or just the abolition of the saloon. But from the talk heard about the capitol corridors It would seem the bulk of the dry members are of the opinion that when Michigan voted for prohibition last fall, it meant real, bone-dry prohibition. Unless the open sentiment so expressed undergoes a considerable change in the course of the next month, the bone-dry contingent will have its way in whatever laws are enacted before the session closes. The fact that both retiring Governor Ferris and incoming Governor Sleeper impressed in their messages to the legislature the necessity of continuing the upbuilding process In the conduct of state prisons and other institutions, especially those dealing with youthful defectives, has caused much talk among the members of the legislature concerning bills to carry out the ideas of the two executives. It is only a few years ago that Michigan legislators began to be informed that their state institutions were anywhere from ten to twenty-five years behind the times in their methods and management. Now they are gratified to be told that much has been accomplished in bringing Michigan up to the highest standard and there is little doubt but that the continuance of the constructive, forward institutional work will meet with thorough approval in this legislature. Governor Sleeper, in his message to the legislature, urged caution in the enacting of legislation, in order that the will of the people be carried out properly. Fewer laws and better quality laws were advocated by him. His attitude In regard to the prohibition laws was expressed b7 him in this one sentence: "The prohibition amendment adopted by a large vote at our recent election demands the enactment of stringent, but sensible lawB to make the will of the people effective." The governor declared for a public service commission of five men to replace the present state railroad commission. Other points of general interest in his message included the following excerpts: "The development of oar public highways is proceeding rapidly and ef. elently.

They must be kept up and if the local communities will not give them the required care, the state should be permitted to do BO and to charge the expense back to the neglectful districts up to the amount of state aid received. "Every effort should be made to develop our unsettled lands. It should be made easy for farmers with Bmall capital to obtain and develop the untold agricultural wealth in our northern state lands. A series of trunk line roads running through this region connected with the highways in the more settled parts should be constructed at once under state supervision and with state aid as an important, factor in accomplishing this much desired development. "The drainage of swamp 'ands is very important to us. I urfc^ legislation similar to the Covert act, by which the district benefited can carry the burden of the improvement for a number of years, paying the obligation serially. "Greater agricultural efficiency is necessary. We should, in fact, make forty acres produce as much as eighty does now. Our soil is a natural resource which should be conserved like any other asset. This can only be accomplished by returning to it, the elements of fertility to replace thos^1 which are exhausted by our harvests. "The future of this nation depends upon its farmers. Europe long ago learned the lesson that in the scientific cultivation of her soil—in scientific agricultural instruction—rested her future prosperity. The marvelous ability of Germany to fe«d herseif during the past two years of terrible war is the result of a half century of scientific agricultural education. France, the great producer nation of the world, has thousands of agricultural schools. "The establishment of agricultural schools similar to our district normal schools will do much to build up our farming districts and to help reduce the high cost of living in the manufacturing centers. "During the past few years our cities have been very prosperous, but crop failures and unusual seasons have prevented the rural districts from I getting the full share of this prosperi- \ ty, You must bear in mind this con- I dition when making all appropriations. Texas must not be a burden to these ! people. Economy must ever be con- J sidered by you. Special approprlai tlons must be reduced to the lowest possible limits. The poor man's little is even more important to him than is the rich man's much.' ' Former Governor Ferris, in his ex- ! augural address, also impressed on the legislature the necessity of good roads and of soil and other resources being conserved. On these points lie said in part: ! "I am in full sympathy with the work that is being done by the Public Domain commission. Re-foresting the non-agricultural lands and protecting growing timber from fire, constitutes i a part of the great work of this coml mission. The plan of this commission I for encouraging the settlement of the good agricultural lands by actual home seekers and the prevention, so far as possible, of the settlement of these lands which are not suitable for agricultural purposes, is imperative. I recommend that a continuous appropriation be made so that the splendid work of this commission may be protected and carried to a successful conclusion. "The state geologist says that fully 40 per cent of the land area of this state is agriculturally unoccupied. Of this amount, approximately 9,000,000 acres of good agricultural land is now, or soon will be, available for settlement. Much has been done and is being done by co-operative effort in the development and settlement of these lands." Governor Ferris denounced crooked land dealers operating in other states who have injured Michigan by obtaining possession of worthless lands in the. barren areas and selling them to unsuspecting buyers outside tlje state as good farm land. He added: "It in the future the state is going to exert any important directive influence in the settlement and development of its unoccupied lands it goes without saying that it should acquire adequate *nd accurate information concerning them. It should know how much unoccupied land there is, where It is, how much is good, how much is fair, how much poor and how mfceu agriculturally worthless. "It should know how much is now available for [settlement and how much of the timbered a n a will eventually make farms.

A scientific soil survey means a greater and better Michigan. I recommend to your favorable consideration immediate action along this line. "All the citizens of Michigan are enthusiastic over good roads. In the past ten years a little less than a revolution has taken place in the attitude of our taxpayers. While they sometimes find fault with the total amount of taxes they have to pay, they rarely complain of taxes that contribute to the building of good roads. Now that the Federal Aid Road Law, which was paased by the last congress, will bring to<Michigan during the next five years |2,186,7B6, which must be matched dollar for dollar by the state, this movement must Inevitably go forward. "No one thing Is more important for the further progress of our citie* and especially for the further progress of our farming communities than good roads. Even our schools and churches depend for their success in no small degree upon good roads. I bespeak for this important feature liberal provisions and the kind of legislation- that will promote rather than retard this great movement." Lieut. Gov. Sleeper, in his inaugural address to the senate, discussed var ious matters to come before the legislature, particularly the prohibition leg* islation, concerning which he said in part: "By a very emphatic majority the electors have voted the state dry and they expect it to be dry, and the machinery through which this is to be accomplished must be created by the legislature of the state. In all probability your acts and votes on this question will be watched closer than on any if not all other questions during the session. This interest ia not confined to Michigan alone. Interests are as actively engaged in the abolition of the American saloon in other states and for a dry nation as they are in Michigan and for this refton they will watch with deep interest every action you may take. "D*iroit is the largest city in all the world's history ever voted dry. Because of this, in all probability, Michigan's near future on this line will be watched with keener interest than has been that of any other commonwealth ever voted dry. The nation at large and other states with large cities in them will schedule their future acta largely by the ability of this legislature to enact laws that will effectively enforce this edict of the people of Michigan. "You have not only a stat*. but a national problem to deal with. It calls for the most serfbus consideration. The best experience of other states should be critically sought for. The best legal talent should be enlisted. And out of what must necessarily be prolonged and careful deliberation should come an act, sane, sensible and in accord with present advanced public sentiment on this question and with the proper machinery for effectively enforcing the emphasized expression of the people of the state at the November election." The house, following the election of Wayne R. Rice, of White Cloud, Newaygo county, as speaker, elected th9 following other officers: Lynn J. L^wis, of Van Buren county, speaker pro tern.; Charles S. Pierce, of Lansing, clerk; Harry J. Mc- Grant, of Detroit, sergeant at arma; and 'ra Ormsbee, of Geneve county, postmaster. The senate elected Senator J. Lee Morford, of Gaylord, president pro tern.; Dennis Alward, of Clare, secretary; William T. Shaw, of Laneing, sergeant at arms, and D. B. Dickinson, of Eaton county, assistant postmaster. Following the session's opening Speaker Rice announced that he would need some time to complete the list of house committees. Those in the senate, a smaller body, were announced shortly after the session began by Lieut. Gov. Dickinson.

Engineers Propose to Build Revetments at Grand Haven, St. Joe and Ludington. Detroit—The Thirty-first regiment of Detroit arrived home from the Mexican border and as they stepped from their special trains were given a glorious welcome by relatives and loved ones. The troops were met by Mayor Marx's special reception committee and informed that an soon as the mustering out was complete, the city planned to give the boya a real reception. The three sections arrived close together. Except for a few minor accidents and hold-ups, the long ride was uneventful. The first section hart with it a small menagerie of mascots There were seven burros, which is an alleged equine animal slightly larger than a jack rabbit, 17 Chihuahua dogs, by actual sensus, all dripping wet, shivering and on the verge of baying .for more food, a few game chickens, and other samples of the fauns and flora of southwest United States of America. The route home was via El Paso & Southwestern and the Rock Island railroads to Kansas City, the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul to Chicago, anl the Michigan Central on the home stretch. Once on the last leg, the boys could scarcely wait until they hit the Michigan line. There they arose and gave three cheers. It will be close to three weeks before the Thirty-first Michigan regiment which arrived home from the border and now is at Fort Wayne, is mustered out according to the determination of the council held at the call of General Kirk. It is necessary to examine the men for pensional defects before they are released and this examination will be made at the rate of 100 a day. There is also considerable checking to be done to ascertain the pay and other allowances due each man. The clothing allowance is 26 cents a day and If this allowance has not been used up It will be paid to each soldier in cash. Colonel Walter G. Rogers, state quartermaster general, says that there will be between $40,000 and $50,000 to be paid to the men on all accounts. Payment will be made by Capt H. Richards. Grand Rapids—Plans for Lake Michigan harbor improvements calling for an expenditure of $110,500 have been forwarded to the engineers department at Washington Dy Major F. W. Alstaetter of the Grand Rapids district. The harbors which will have revetments built according to the latest designs are Grand Haven, St. Joseph and Ludington. At the Grand Haven harbor 700 feet on the inner end of the north revetment will be rebuilt. This will cost $46,000. Plans for the rebuilding of 675 feet of the inner end of the north revetment at St. Joseph have already been approved at Washington. This will cost $24,000. Plana have been completed for the rebuild. ing of 600 feet of the inner end of the north revetment of the Ludington harbor. The specifications for this job will be sent to Washington in a few days. This will cost $40,500. All the revetments will be rebuilt with sheet piling and round pile foundations and reinforced concrete superstructures. Crushed stone ballast will be used. These three improve, ments are planned along the same lines as the revetment built on the south pier at the Grand Haven harbor.

EXTRA SESSION NOT WANTED Num&«r of Billa Introduced This Winter 1« Much Smaller Than Usual— Many of Them Deal With Cost of Living. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Congress' New Year's resolution is said to be to put through the two or three measures of prime importance and with them the equally primely Important appropriation bills, and to be content with t h a t and thus, so far as human foresight can compass it, make it certain that the president will not be compelled to call an extrti seaaion of congress in the spring, a session which would begin probably with'a terrific fight between Republicans and Democrats for the control and organisation of the house of representatives. Recent records have^been broken In congress lately. The number of bills which 1-nve been introduced since the session opened the first Monday in December has been smaller than during anf like period in the last 20 years. It is true that some lawmakers have Introduced measures for which they hate no hope of passage at present, but about which the* hope public opinion will crystallize later. The number of these bills, however, is small, acd so, barring the ordinary pension blllP, comparatively few things of national tfioment have been presented to either tamse for present or future cDnsiderfiCon. Of course this does net take account of the ra!lf<*ad legislation in its varied forms wtlich the president made the main feature of his message to congress, nor does it take account of some other hlgVy important things which sooner or ftter must be given consideration bj the national legislators. The simple fart is that the number of bills is much, v^ry m w h smaller than Is usually th* case. May Vote on Big Questions. It is prcbable '.hat before congress dies on Mrtrch 4 the question of submitting to the spates the federal constitutional amendment establishing prohibition will be voted on by congress. Thrro Is a struggle on already between the opposing forces Interested in this mens'ire. The federal suffrage amenO'dent also will be given consideration. Senator William H. Thompson of Kansas is only one of n number of senators fnd members to introduce bills for <he <.lection of president and vice president by a direct vote of the people. Senator John F. Shafroth of Colorado has introduced a bill to the same general effect which, however, w-ould work a complete change in the method of selecting the president and the vice president His bill stipulates that the two officials shall be chosen without the intervention In any way of the electoral college, and it provides for a term of six years for the president and for his ineligibility for re-election forever thereafter. Othir Bills of Interest. Congress has in its keeping a bill, which pressure of time may or may not prevent from receiving consideration, to admit free of import charges all wheat which is brought into the United States for seed purposes. The word which has gone to the legislators with this measure Is that the farmers particularly, and the public generally to a considerable extent will be deeply interested in the fate of the measure. It was offered by Representative Halvor Steenerson of Minnesota, It is said that this bill was Introduced as the result of a suggestion made by a single farmer of the great Northwest who received seed from South American and European countries. It was sent him in part simply for experimental purposes, but in another part, it is said, for use under a well-based belief that the growth results would be most satisfactory. Rural mail carriers will be interested In a bill introduced by Senator J. Gronna of North * Dakota who has asked congress to legislate so that the rural route men shall in no case receive less than $1*200 a year, and that Mtuction of this pay shall be possible. Bill for Psstal Employees, tative Martin B. Madden of nilnoU also has put in a bill which looks to the gratification of post office clerks and carriers in first and secondclass post offices. B e wishes to have clerks and carriers divided into stx rtsisei with salaries ranging from fUXX) to $1£00. The understanding ta now that the highest pay that a clerk can get is $1*200, while the minimum pay ts said to be considerably below the first sum named i s Mr. Madden** Confederate soldiers may be pensioned. If this meusure had been Introduced twenty-flve or thirty years ago It probably would have aroused expressions of resentment from a lurge pari of the country. The bill proposes a continuing appropriation of $o.(XM>.U00 a year for fifteen years, which equals the urnount of the cotton tax levied ujpon the cotton-growing states after the Civil war. The money would be used to pension aged and infirm Confederate soldiers and the widows of Confederate soldiers. For Monument to Maury. It is interesting to note lu this connection that a bill which has a good deal of northern support has just been introduced to erect a monument in the city of Washington to Matthew Fountain Maury, one time commodore in the United States navy, and later a ranking officer In the Confederate navy. Commodore Maury was a student of ocean currents. He charted the Gulf stream and contributed an Immense amount ~ of oceunographic knowledge to the world. Our Santo Domingo Fuss. Santo Domingo, a small country, Is looming large just now in the field of Washington Interests and anxieties. Virtually the United States Is at war with Santo Domingo. There are several hundred United States marines in the little republic which has been put under martial law by Uncle Sam. Word which has come from the state department recently makes it appear that the United States hereafter may consider the necessity of taking a hand In affairs in Europe, especially in regard to the safeguarding of the rights of small nations. Some students of International relations hold that if the United States does this it means that the countries of Europe may one day feel they have a perfect right to ta*e a hand in affairs on this side of the water and that therefore the Monroe Doctrine must go by the board. This is a matter admittedly only for speculation, and for future developments to prove one way or the other, but there is intense interest and some apprehension among the lawmakers today because the Dominican government has protested to the powers of Europe against Uncle Sam's action In placing that country under martial law. May Cause Complications. It is not to be supposed for an instant, of course, as the officials here view it, that the big European governments which have been appealed to by Santo Domingo will do anything In the matter, or certainly not at present because their hands are exceedingly full with deadly troubles of their own. The protest, however, has gone on record, and as some of the lookers into the future here see the thing, it possibly eventually may develop complications for this government. Haiti and Santo Domingo have been prickly-pear points to Uncle Sam for a long time. The government has a treaty with Haiti which allows Uncte Sam to collect not only the customs of that country, but Its Internal taxes as well, and to look after their disbursement. It seems likely that In order to bring about complete order In Santo Domingo some like arrangement must be made with that country. Already the United States Is collecting customs of the Dominican Republic, but it is not collecting Its Internal taxes. The most recent trouble with Santo Domingo came because the various elements down there, led by different men, attempted each in its own behalf to take the internal revenues and to spend them for personal selfish ourposes. The result was such an Internal row that the United States had to step in, and as a matter of fact we are In a mild way at war with Santo Domingo today, although it Is not called war. Promised Their Debts Should Be Paid. During the Roosevelt administration England, France and Germany, to all of whom Santo Domingo owed money which it would not pay, asked the United States to assume with them a joint control over the revenues of the little republic' President Roosevelt could not entertain such a proposition because in a way it was a violation of the Monroe Doctrine, although not literally so. The American administration made an arrangement by which the United States government was pledged to maintain the payments on the Dominican debt So it is that we have been collecting revenue down there and paying off the republic's debt as well as we could. The internal revenues were left to the Dominican government Itself. As soon as it was found out that there was money for the Dominican government in the internal taxes of the country, four or five governments sprang up, each one willing to fight the other for the spoils. This led to virtual intervention on the part of the present administration. Of course, the United States win maintain control in Santo Domingo and bring about order, but the fact that this Utile bit of a republic that really U aot a reesrtjBc at all, has protested to the powers of Rnrope against the i United States, may t r i s c t f o s b t s i s m to the fntsa*, RUSSIANS DRIVE TEUTON ARMY BACK PUT UP DESPERATE FIGHT TO SAVE SERETH RIVER L I N E , BREAK TEUTON FRONT A T ONE POINT. GREECE TO ATTACK ALLIES The Greek Royal Army Is Only Awaits irtg the Word of Germany's Ruler to Attack Allies in Athens. London—The Russian forces in Central Rumania took the offensive along a IB-mile front southwest of the Sereth and threw the Teutons back at several points. The counter-attack, which was launched on a line running from Fossani south to Fundeni, midway between Buk:eu and Ramnicu- Sarat, succeeded in piercing the German front near Obilechti, Berlin admits. Substantial gaina are claimed by Petrograd, which states that Falkenhayn's troops were driven back beyond the line of Raspitza lake, southeast of Ramicu-Sarat. The Russians suffered heavy losses, according to Berlin. Greek Army Awaiting Orders. Paris—"The Greek Royal army ia only awaiting orders from Germany to attack the Allies," said M. Diomede, former Greek misister of finance, to the Temps. M. Diamede is in Paris on a special mission for Eliptherios Venielos, the former premier and head of the provisional Greek government. "The Greek general staff," added M. Diomede, "from the outset of the war, constantly was directed by Major Von Falkenhausen, the milt tary attache of the German legation. His orders the royal army has been carrying out since he was expelled from the country. It wag he who established the plan of the distribution of artillery munitions, so as to conceal them more easily from the Allies. "It was he who assured communications between Athens and Berlin and furnished the German general staff with information concerning the movements of General Sarrail's ar. my, supplied to him by the Greek staff. It was he who organized the telephone line between Athens and Berat by which the king is still in daily communication with the German government. It was he who organized the plan for the mobilization of the reservists. "No more than four thousand troops thus far have been sent to Peloponnesus, while the king now has in hand 45,000 men. With the reservists, as organized by M. Falkenhausen, he can raise an army of 75,000." FORMER WARDEN PAY RAISED Has Received $7,500 Since August 15, 1915, Fuller Now Powerless to Keep Salary Down. Lansing—Nathan F. Simpson, former warden of Jackson prison, who retired in December, received a salary of $7,500 a year since Aug. 15, 1915, although it was generally believed that he was getting only $6,000 until this week. Simpson's request for an increase from $5,000 to $7,500 was approved by former Gov. Ferris and former State Treasurer Haarer, but the increase was held up by Auditor General Fuller. Mr. Fuller was powerless to pre- • e n t the board of control from granting the request because Jackson prison is self-sustaining t u t he says he win bring up tb« issue the first time the hoard of control asks for funds. The fact that the board of control had authorized the transfer became known whe*n Mr. Fuller's auditors checked up the books after their transfer to Warden Disque.

The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will be tributary to the government railroad now under construction from Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal of this field is Ignite and hence of low grade, yet It has great value as a source of fuel and power for Fairbanks and other Yukon placer camps. The field Is about sixty miles south of Fairbanks. It Is estimated by the United States geological survey, department of the interior, that the Nenana field contains some ten billion tons of lignite. The Nenana coal field lies in what is known as the Bonnifield region, which also contains some gold placers that have been mined In a small way for the last ten years.

MITCHEL $ A convivial party had assembled to -*ee the old year out imd the new yeav ,n. Among th^em were Lena Wadsworth and Frank Andrews. The company had not yet passed into the supper room, and these two were Kitting upart from the others. "Come, l>«na," *aid4*Tank, "you have. pot me off long enough. Olve me my answer.*' "You know very,well why I have put you off, Frank*; YoNl are captivated by every pretty girl you meet. If I said ye*, before three months had elapsed you would wish to be released. I have »o fancy for such an engagement." ''Try me." Miss Wadsworth toyed with a flower she held in her band and remained ailent. Finally she said; "I will not consent to HU engagement, but I will say thh*: If one year from tonight you can assure me that you have not ruiule love to another yirl you can ask me again to be your wife. and 1 will accept you." '"That's assumfnr »11 the ••oufltariry ia ou your side." "I think it l«." v The party was «* j»ay as the supper was excellent. The guests sat down at the table Htm o'clock and left It at S a. m. A treat deal of wine was trunk, and doubtless a great many tMngs were a lid that were not well considered before the saying. The party broke tip singing ' Auld Lang t|ynt/ and half an hour later the ban ~nafMt4ntti, des«yg^Ss%^flftB^ana«v «ettcff of all" worldly* pJsasures. At 11 o'clock the nest morning Frank Andrews awoke. On a table beside fete bed were his eyeglasses, his watch And a gold locket in the shape of a bfefcrt. The eyeglasses and the watch were familiar object* in a familiar J0*ce. But the gold heart? Frank looked atit earnestly, then thoughtful fc llow it bad come to l>e with the pl*#rarticle* be <onkl not imagine. r Tbat Which bad deepest,root within ijfm 4r*t shewed Itself above a confua* on « ^ happenings pertaining to last ^ | i f ftt's, <*onvlr iality.

H^ must have fallen again, and this was the longest fall he had i-ver made. Who was Gwen? Moet of the girls present at the New Year's party he knew by their family names, but not their Christian names. There were Miss Willie, Mi«s Evcrhait and Miss Worthington, whom he knew quite well, but which «>ne. if any, of them was Gweni . Ua UK»ked for a beading to the note, but, there wiw not even n tiato. The postmark wu* no ^uide at all. What deepened the mystery was that Frank had not. immoderately Indulged in the potent cup. There was no time during the evening that he indulged in lovemaking with an exchsiuge «if pledges that he would not have been conscious of the fact. But here WAS indisputable evidence that he bad. There was no other explanation. He went over every episode, so far as be could recall them, that had occurred during the evening without result. But five hours at an exhilarating siip]>or party embraced a «ood deal. "All I've got. to say," remarked Mr. Andrews to himself, "is that if I'm to be made happy every New Tears morning in this way I trust I shall end my earthly career on the ".1st «»f Ocretnber'next." There were two horns to the trouble One was a fear that Lena would learn that he had fallen from grace witfcia ' aftew«bawes«s{te* he-.lsid,»sat«4«l. Her HHh eoHiW&iT'y.

Oh, how he tried to remember where It had gone! <>f all bis horrible entanglements-and lie had passed through a number of them —this was the worst. There would have been something like comfort in his not remembering the girl he had made love, to had it not been that Jje shrank from doing a dls honorable act. The girl, not receiving A visit from Link would suppose that be intended to jilt her and would bo too proud to trouble htm again. But from such a position he shrank.

What should he do to -palliate his offense to LenaV He did not see that be conhi do anything. It. is questionable if there was ever a lover who was without hope till the lady of his love had parsed to another, and Frank Andrews was no exception. About 8 o'clock in the evening he called Lena on the telephone. "Will you be at home this evening?" he asked. "Yes." "May I call?" "I shall be pleased to see you." There was nothing in the replies or the tone of vole© in which ihey were spoken either to reassure or discourage him as to an ultimate forgiveness. He would go to Lena and *oe what he could do. Lena kept him wading a few minutes, then entered the room where be was with neither i indictivoncss nor encouragement. He judge* I that it was indifference. "I received your note," lie said gloomily.

State Highway Commissioner Outlines Plans for Work. • • • • • • s < WILL OBTAIN FEDERAL AID Legislature WilJ Be Asked to Appropriate $450,000, Half Amount Government Will Spend on State Highways. t , Lansing.—With plans outlined for fin extensive campaign of road building in Michigan during the coming >ear, State Highway Commissioner F r a n k Rogers has prepared bills to be introduced at the opening of the legislature, which provides machinery whereby Michigan can take a d v a n t a g e of the federal law which gives government aid to trunk-line highways. To aid in the construction of federal roads Rogers will ask the legisl a t u r e for an appropriation of $450,- 000 for the next two years. This is approximately one-half the amount the federal government will spend on the construction of trunk-line highways in Michigan, during the next two years, according to the state highway commissioner, whose bill has been approved by one of the federal governm e n t ' s road experts. Under the t e r m s of the bill drafted by Rogers and approved by the federal government, counties working under the so-called county road system and having a valuation per trunk line mile of $100,000 and less, shall pay 25 |>er cent of the cost of federal-aided roads, the state and federal governm e n t paying t h e remainder. Counties h a v i n g , a valuation per t r u n k line mile of $200,000 shall pay 30 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government paying the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $200,000 and $300,000 shall pay 85 per cent, the state and federal gove r n m e n t s to pay the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $300,000 and $400,000 ©hall pay 40 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government to pay the remainder. Counties baving a valuation between $400,000 and $500,000 shall pay 45 per cent of the cost, the s t a t e and federal governments to pay t h e remainder. Counties having a valuation p e r trunk line mile of $500,000 per mile and upward shall pay 50 per cent, t h e state nnd federal governments to pay the remainder. Michigan Troops C t ^ ' r s Ho/ne.

Michigan state banks and t r u s t companies show a gain In aggregate business of $30,8:45,751.28 since September 12, 11)10, according to the report of F r a n k W. Merrick, state banking commissioner. For the two months' period, following September 12, 1910, the s t a t e hanks, 485 in number, and seven t r u s t companies show commercial and savings deposit increases amounting to $28,343,4;J3.80, while for the same period loans increased $21,717,421.90. However, this showing is small considered with the showing made in a year period, for the Report shows that during the past year t h e state banks and trust companies had a total increase in deposits of $114,498,552.44 and an increase In loans of $93,427,- 745.44, with capital stock increases for t h e same period amounting to $3,961,- 465. Of the net increase in deposits for the past year, $49,354,421.23 was In commercial deposits and $65,144,- 131.21 in savings deposits. T h a t the banks themselves enjoyed a period of prosperity is evidenced from the report, which shows net earnings of the state b a n k s and trust companies for the year ending J u n e 80, 1910, to have been $6,188,14Z.49, or 0.23 per cent on average capital, surplus, undivided profits and deposits of ,$508,930,365.08. T h e r e w a s paid in divi d e n d s $3,653,554.90, or 6.58 per cent on an'average capital and surplus of $5,- 486,372.32. That the banking business is not all profit, however, is shown by the report, ~in which figures give a total of £1,675,874.30 cnarged off on account of bosses, bad debts, e t c Interest paid for the past year amounted to $10,- fe80,30&27, expenses paid totaled $6,- 177,878.78, taxes paid $1,057,980.92, w h i l e the gross earnings totaled $25,- fft~686m ' Some idea of the magnitude of the amounts of money Intrusted to banks la M l ^ f * can bo gained from the Opposes Tax Chang*. T h e suggestion that the specific tax on the railroads awl public utilities, now used for the p a y m e n t of school teachers' salaries, be taken for the general expense of r u n n i n g the s t a t e government, has considerable opposition among\ certain s t a t e officers, led by Auditor General O. B. Fuller. Some time ago S t a t e T r e a s u r e r John \V. H a a r e r advanced the plan, and now, according to former Senator George Lord of Detroit, it is to be suggested tu the legislature by the Michigan s t a t e tax conference. "I think that; propositi on is foolish," says Fuller, "and it would be absolutely useless to spring it. They tried It at the last constitutional convention and it was hardly heard of after discussion started. It Is true t h a t the specific tax raises a big sum for the primary schools, but at the s a m e time you must remember t h a t the abolition of t h a t fund for schools would increase the school tax throughout the s t a t e about 50 per cent." report, which of course includes only f Saolnawlan Fellows Aid. tfce stato banks and trust companies, which show a total deposit of $510,- 4I8A8&41, which is divided as follows: tfibercfsJ deposits subject to check, ^jg>79y08LS*; comisorrfil certificates of deposit, fMjMM»T21; state moneys m deposit $1*17,6*440; postal savtecs, *U4*867.4B; savlnts deposits, -i*0tSBuaijmMi sffUMs osrtliostes of Phthisis Hard to Catch. It is hard to "catch" tuberculosis, the state board of h e a l t h tuberculosis survey workers declare, in spite of the fact t h a t they e s t i m a t e there are between 20,000 and 30,000 cases of the disease In Michigan. "It sounds absurd to say t h a t it is h a r d to catch tuberculosis," said Dr. WUJIam De Kleine, "but it Is a fact. If t h a t were not the case most of us would have the disease. T h e tuberculosis germ is hard to grow even in the laboratory under favorable condltions, and after it h a s been grown it easily dies. In most cases a person catches the disease because either through his own fault, through the fault of others, or through the fault of conditions, he forces himself upon the disease instead of the disease forcing itself on him. Alcohol or overwork or oxygen starvation or underfeeding or other disease run his body down to such a low ebb of vitality that even so slow a germ as the tubercle bacillus can successfully attack it without being itself destroyed." Beaked Fight to Courts, Despite the decision of the state canvassing board not to grant a recount for congressman in Jackson city, the hoard cannot issue ;.n election certificate' to Mark R. Bacon for the Second district, as* a t t o r n e y s for Congressman Beakes Jaade an unexpected move immediately after the action of the board by serving an injunction on the members from Circuit J u d g e Kiune of Washtenaw county, restraining tha bogrd from issuing a certificate to Bacon pending the outcome of the appeal to the supreme court. After serving the injunction the Beakes a t t o r n e y s filed a petition in the state supreme court asking an order against the state canvassing board to show cause why It should not grant a r e c o u n t The board, composed of the secretary of state, state treasurer and superintendent of public instruction, concurred In following the written opinion of the a t t o r n e y general in refusing the request for a recount. T h e opinion cited the legal fact tlyit congress is the judge of the qualifications of its members. The 1913 state s t a t u t e under which Beakes claims a recount h a s never been tested, but Beakes' action will force a ruling on its constitutionality and prevent Bacon from getting a seat on t h e temporary roll of congress through a certificate of election. It means the fight for the Second district congressional seat will be settled In the state courts rather than in congress, and means a legal rather than a political decision.

This is the day for the farmer, the day that he is coming into his own. He is gradually becoming the dictator a s It becomes more apparent that upon his industry depends the great problem of feeding a great world. The farmer of - Canada and the United States h a s it within himself to-hold the p o r t i o n that stress of circumstances has lifted him into today. T h e conditions abroad are such that the utmost dependence will rest upon the farmers of this continent for some time after the war, and for this reason there is no hesitation in making the statement that war's demands are, and for a long time will be, Inexhaustible, and the claims t h a t will be made upon the soil will with difficulty be met. There are today 25,000,- 000 men in the fighting r a n k s in the old world. The best of authority gives 75 per cent and over as having been d r a w n from the farms. There is therefore nearly 75 per cent of the land formerly tilled now being unworked. Much of this land is today In a devast a t e d condition and ft the war should end tomorrow it will take years to bring it back to Its former producing capacity. Instead of the farmer producer producing, he has become a consumer, making the strain upon those who have been left to do the farming a very difficult one. There may be agitation as to the high cost of living, and doubtless t h e r e is reason for it in many cases. T h e middleman may boost the prices, combines may organize to elevate the cost, hut one cannot get away from the fact that the demand regulates the supply, and the supply, regulates the price. The price of wheat—In fact, all grains—as well as cattle, will remain high for some time, and the low prices t h a t have prevailed will not come again for some time. After the war the demand for cattle, not alone for beef, but for stock purposes, to replenish the exhausted herds of Europe, will be keen. F a r m educators and advisers are telling you to prepare for this emergency. How much better it can be done on the low-priced lands of today, on lands that cost from ten to twenty dollars per acre, than It can on two and three hundred-dollaran- acre land. The lnnds of Western Canada meet all the requirements. They are productive in every sense of the word. The best of grasses can be grown with nhnndant yields and the grain can he produced from these soils t h a t bents the world, nnd the same may be said of cattle and horses. T h e climate Is all that is required. Those who are competent to judge claim t h a t land prices will rise in value from twenty to fifty per cent. This Is looked for in Western Canada, w h e r e ' lands are decidedly cheap today, and those who a r e fortunate enough to secure now will realize wonderfully by means of such an investment.

These lands are free; but to those who desire larger holdings than 100 acres there are the rail! companies and land corporations whom purchase can be made at sonable prices, and information secured from the Canadian Government a g e n t whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper.—Advertisem e n t x •w^ • ; * > ' •tf: * > • • ' . - ^ ^ i S f e . v T • * • .

It's very much the fashion to Joke about making New Year's resolutions; but as a matter of fact there Is advantage In making resolutions, If they are good ones, and there Is no other date except one's birthday anniversary so appropriate for the practice. That Individual must be totally devoid of sentiment who has no sentiment on the subject of New Year. J&kers whose topic is New Year's resolutions lay stress on the fact that many of them are broken. A fact it is—there is no denying it. P>ut not all of them are broken. A man who makes ten New Year's resolutions, every one of them good, and breaks nine, is better off to the extent of the virtue involved In keeping the one to which he adheres than If he made none at all. For the sake of argument, however, perhaps It may be conceded that making- numerous good resolutions at once is open to criticism on the ground that It is harder to attain perfection in many things than in a few things, and that failures cause discouragement, and that concentration is helpful to success. From this point of view the wise thing for New Year's resolutionmakers to do is to survey their failings and frame a few resolutions hitting the high spots.

Oh! for an old-fashioned New Tear day, With enjoyments keen and pure, When fun and frolic r«l«med supreme, Good fellowship the lure. As we journeyed to the parties Afoot, perchance by sleigh, Thfr-atmosphere seemed laden with Best wishes of the day. With good old hearty handshakes We knew were welcome grips, Instead of the present method of , Just touching the fingertips. How we merrily danced the lancsra, Danced It with a seal. Also the polka and minuet. And Jolly Virginia reeL Row the young and old enjoyed It Each in his separate way, Youth thinking of the present. Age of the bygone day. While times and vogues may change, alaa* And nature's will obeys, I*n still retain sweet memories of Ths good old-fashioned ways. Rather Plain-Spoken.

Good Now Tow Don* ONE MA vs aivd 5KrvibFi Their Care and GJtivetioiv KM ) While Hedge Lovers, as a Rule, Prefer the Evergreens as Hedge Material, Calla Lilies Are Used to Advantage In Some Places, SPEAKING OF HEDGES By L I M A a ROSE. More and more the hedge is coining Into its own. For miles and mile* along the New Jersey coast, reaching from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt is the most continuous stretch of country homes In America. Millionaires, neaT-millionaires, people with money and people who are merely comfortable have made this region a show place of never-ending Interest. There are more millionaires among the home owners of this one spot than the entire realm of England holds. They have discarded the fence almost entirely and mile after mile of privet comes Into view as one motors along the smooth, beautifully kept roads. There are also, in the Pacific region, hedges of geraniums five feet high, hedges of calla lilies and of roses, but the substantial, serviceable evergreen hedge is the last word for elegance and utility, and the New Jersey coast offers the best possible field for its study. Here Is how the landscape gardeners of this section handle the plants: Before the plants are brought tu the ground a quantity of top soil is procured for the purpose of filling In about the roots, They need lots of moisture to keep them healthy and to maintain the rich green color. Then the transplanting is done in the spring and the plants are handled with care to prevent the roots from being dried out by the wind. The evergreens that run from 12 to 24 Inches are set from 8 to 12 inches apart. The larger plants can be placed with 18-lnch intervals. In order that the evergreens may be bushy, they are pruned when planted, and this makes the subsequent shaping of the hedge easy. The spring time is taken for the pruning, because the plants are then resuming their growth and the process finds its best results. Starting at the beginning, the first thing to do is to dig a trench wide enough not to cramp the roots, so that they can spread flat and not touch the sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stable manure is worked in the trench with the soil. After the planting a coating of manure is placed on the surface of the soil, covering all of the earth that has been disturbed. This mulch Is left In place for a year, and is then usually worked into the soil. Where double-row hedges are required the plants are set in rows six to nine Inches apart and the plants from 6 to 16 inches apart In the rows. The whole eastern coast is beginning to show the effect of hedge culture. Newport, the queen of summer resorts. Long Island and all of the other show regions are. literally marked with the natural substitute for the fences. DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS By ELIZABETH VAN BBNTHUY8IN. Flowers, like genius, belong in the family of democracy. The one Is Just as pat to pick out a log cabin as a palace for its home. President Wilson, speaking at the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, called attention to this feature of genius. When he said that genius picked Its society as it willed, without regard to the status of the persons, he also called attention to one of the distinctive attributes of flowers, I am reminded of this idea by one of the moat recent soda! events among too millionaire* of too Bast Down on land, where thoro a r e acorotof mora costly than anything that any ktaavrfor dream* of baUding, * of ffcfe for an entertainment. They had three elegant prizes to be awarded. For what, you ask. Bridge? No. These women of the aristocracy of money came together, each bearing a little basket, to «ompete for the prizes that were given for the best arranged basket of flowers that had been grown by the woman who arranged the haad basket. All of the money commanded by people who consider one with a mere million poor, could not provide these women with a pleasure that the poorest child of the log cabin cannot enjoy. What child Is there In the land who cannot pick and arrange a bunch of posies with as much freedom as the wealthiest of these grand dames? I think It a good Idea. "Why not have little contests at which the taste and good judgment of the members of each little circle of a community will be tested by the arrangement of flowers ? One need not award cut glass and silver prizes. There can be Just as much rivalry and competition where the prize Is but a ribbon. And when the award Is made the committee that judges the prizes ought to be made to tell exactly why one bouquet or basket is better arranged than another. The members should say in what respect one set of llowers is better grown than another. Thus will be established an Interchange of ideas as to the growing of plants and flowers and the artistic sensibilities of each contestant will be developed while the stock of general information will be improved. Flowers are the true democrats. They are as sweet for the pauper as for the prince. There is absolutely no bar to a study of their beauties and I \Vould like to know that in a million homes the example of this rich coterie on Long island Is being followed to the profit ef other people and to the better production of the pretty things of life. TERRIFIC BATTIE OPENS ON SERETH ! FIELD MARSHAL VON MACKENSEN STARTS B A T T L E COVERING A FRONT OF 200 MILES. RUSSIANS FORCED TO COVER Teuton Curs Placed lrt a Semi-Circls Arc Battering the ^usso-Rumanian Defense Positions. The battle of the FVreih Is in full hlayt. Along a trout <»i li00 miles from Xht- Karuio (C'a.si:)) river, in the area. between the Carpathian mountains and the Transylvaniun Alps, eastward to the headwaters of the Danube, Field Marshal von Muckensen, opened what holds promise to become the biggest and moat fateful offensive of the war. * With a "drumfire" whose fierceness is emphasized by the Russian war office bulletin, the big Teuton guns, emplaced in a huge semicircle fronting the Sereth and the southern border of Bessarabia, are battering the Russo- Rumanian defense positions, clearing the path for infantry onslaughts upon whose success or failure hangs the fate of the entire southern line of the Russians, from Volhynia down to the Transylvania ridges, and whose ultimate goal Is Odessa. At some points the Teuton shelling was so terrific that, according to official admission from Petrograd the Rumanians and their Muscovite allies were forced to seek cover from its murderous hail. In other sectors the Invaders already have sent their infantry into battle, pushing b?.ck the (Winders. The center <*f Maekensen's attacking front faces the Foesami-Galatz-Braila line, a powerful'.defense sector, fortified vtars ago b> the Rumanian* against a possible Russian invnrlcn. Rimnicu-Sarat, the railroad north of Bu?eu, the Praila, the big Danube position surrounded fern three side?, are the immediate otiectivea of the center. These points captured, the battle lin^ will bo pushed automatically to the south bank of the Sereth. TERMS GIVEN TO NEUTRALS Germany Has Permitted the Holy Fathors to Open Sealed Packet. THE TULIP IN POTS. Some varieties of tnlips are well adapted to the flowerpot The Clusiana vent grows to a height of 20 inches, with a slender stem. The leaves are very long and narrow, and the flower sometimes measures two inches across. This variety is of the funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow flowers, with light shading of green or white, sometimes streaked with pink. It Is very fragrant, and when properly cultivated is one of the most beautiful of all the tulip family. The tulip Is easy to cultivate, as It thrives well in either heavy or light soil. It does better, however, in rather light soil, welldrained and fairly rich. Those grown in heavy, black soil produce smaller flowers, and the colors are not nearly so bright In some of the upland* of Virginia the ideal tulip soil is found for the growing of bulbs, and it Is said to be almost identical with that of Holland, where this flower Is so succea* fully grown. Rome—Germany handed to the neutral nations whose services she asked in forwarding peace suggestions 'o her enemit s, a sealed packet contain* ing the specific terms on which sh$ was willing to make peac r\ according to a report in circulation here. The report indicates this packet was I sent with instructions that it was only to be read and forwardsd to Ger* | many's enemies of the entente if those powers, answering Germany's proffers, actually requested terms. Otherwise, It was to be returned unopened. The same report declared in the case of the note submitted to Pope Benedict, Germany permitted the Holy Father to read this seoret list of con* ! cessions and demands. No official comment was obtainable here either from the Vatican or the court as to this report or as to the official view on the peace suggesiona contained in President Wilson's note. It was apparent, however, that Italian officials are puzzled by the America* suggestion, considering there is soma diplomatic secret behind it.

What one young lady did in such circumstances is told entertainingly in this installment. ! • You remember, Hugh Whitaker, thinking he was about to *'e, married an innocent girl to ^ save w honor and departed Im- «s mediately i«»r the Southern sea*. Five years later he returns to New York, healthy *ti<j wealthy, and finds the wife, now « famous actress known as Sara Law, engaged to marry Drummond, his old friend and partner. She disappears suddenly. Drummond supposedly commits suicide, as her previous lovers had done. Whitaker Is tnurder- *'t ously assaulted In the dark and x> goes to the country home oT his j | friend Martin Ember, near the sea. He discovers a mysterious spy there and thinks It Is Drummond. 3rtr^&<rtrfrfr&*Krft&<M>frfr<rfrftiHHrtr5 CHAPTER X. —11 — The Spy. Already the sun was warm, the faint breeze bland. Standing at the window and shading his eyes against the glare, Whitaker surveyed a world newwashed and radiant; the landlocked bay dimpled with vagrant catspaws and smitten with sunlight as with a scimitar of fire; the earth fresh and fragrant, steaming faintly in the ardent glow of the dawn. In another moment he was at the kitchen door, interrupting Sum Fat's first matutinal attentions to his teeth with a demand for a bathing suit. Three minutes later, from the end of the small dock, he dived neatly, coming to the surface with his flesh tingling with delight of the cool water; then, with the deliberate and powerful movements of an experienced swimmer, struck away from the land. Two hundred yards out he paused, rolled over on his back, and, hands clasped beneath his head, floated serenely, sunlight warming his upturned face, his body rejoicing in the suave, clean, fluid embrace. Then something disturbed him—a dull fluttering, vibrant upon his submerged eardrums. Extending his arms and moving his hands gently to preserve his poise, he lifted his head from the water. From the landing stage on the Fiske place a motor boat was standing out The churning of its propeller had aroused him. He could see but a single person for all Its crew. Seated astern, dividing her attention between the side steering wheel and the engine, she was altogether ignorant of the onlooker. Only her head and shoulders showed above the coaming— her head with its shining crown, her shoulders cloaked with a light wrap gathered at the throat Whitaker, admiring, wondered . . . Sweeping in a wide arc as it gathered speed, the boat presently shot out smartly on a straight course for the barrier beach. Why? What business had she there? And at an hour so early? No affair of his—Whitaker admitted as much freely. And yet he was beginning his fourth day on the Great West,bay without having set foot upon Its Great South beach l Ridiculous oversight! And one to be remedied without another hour's delay. Grinning with amused toleration of his own perverse sophistry, he turned over on his side and struck out in the wake of the motor boat When at length he waded ashore he found the motor boat moored in shallow water at the end of a long and substantial dock. He patted the flanks of the vessel as he waded on. "Good little boat!" said he, Walking rapidly, very soon he stood at the head of a rude flight of wooden steps which ran dorm from the top of a wave-eaten sand bluff, some ten or twelve feet in height, to the broad and gently shelving ocean beach. Midway between the sand bluff and the breaking waters stood the woman Whitaker fec€ followed. (There wasn't any O N fflffiHnp; terms—be had followed bar Hi bis confounded, fatuous curiosity t) Her face was to the sea, bar hands dasped behind bar. Now tbe wlad modeled bar cloak sweetly to bar body, »ow whipped Its skirts away, dtedosteg lege if**!*** and slinikrr and grs> i-iously modeled. She wits dressed, it seemed, for bathing. Whitaker turn to go, and turning.let his gaze sweep up from the beach and along the brow of the bluff. He paused, frowning. Some twenty feet or so distant the legs of a man, trousered and booted, protruded from a hollow between two hummocks of sand. And the toes of the boots were digging Into the sand, indicating that the man was lying prone; and that meant (if he were neither dead nor sleeping) that lie was watching the woman on the beach. Indignation, righteous Indignation, warmed Whitaker's bosom. It was all very well for him to catch sight of the woman through her cottage window, by night, and to swim over to the beach In her wake the next morning, but what right had anybody else to constitute himself her shadow? Besides, it was. possible that the man was Drummond. He strode forward and stood over the man, looking down at his back. It was true, as he had assumed—the fellow was watching the woman. And his back was very like Drummond's. A little quiver of excitement mingled with anticipatlve satisfaction ran through him. Now, at last the mystery was to be cleared up, his future relations with the pseudo-suicide defined and established. Deliberately he extended his bare foot and nudged the man's ribs. "Drummond . . ." he said In a clear voice, decided but unaggressive. WItIt an oath and what seemed a single, qufck motion, the man jumped to his feet and turned to Whitaker a startled and Inflamed countenance. "What the devil!" he cried angrily. "Who are you? What do you want? What d'you mean by coming round here and calling me Drummond?" He was no more Drummond than he was Whitaker himself. "For that matter" — something clicked In W7hitaker's brain and subconsciously he knew that his temper was about to take the bridge—"what do you mean by spying on that lady yonder?" It being Indisputably none of his concern, the unfairness of the question only lent it offensive force. The man made this painfully clear through the medium of an intolerable epithet and an attempt to land his right fist on Whitaker's face. The face, however, was elsewhere when the fist reached the point for which it had been aimed ; and Whitaker closed in promptly as the fellow's body followed his arm, thrown off balance by the momentum of the unobstructed blow. What followed had entered into the calculations of neither. Whitaker felt himself suddenly falling through air thick with a blinding, choking cloud of dust and sand. The body of the other was simultaneously wrenched violently from his grasp. Then he brought up against solidity with a bump that seemed to expel every cubic inch of air from his longs. And he heard himself cry out sharply with the pain of his weak ankle newly twisted. . . . He sat up, gasping for breath, brushed the sand from his face and eyes, and as soon as his whirling wits settled a little, comprehended what had happened. Half burled in the debris of a miniature landslide, he sat at the foot of the bluff. Immediately above his head a ragged break showed where the sand, held together solely by beach grass, had given way beneath the weight of the antagonists. A little distance from him the other man was picking himself up, apparently unhurt but completely surfeited. Without delay, with not even so much as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered off for a few paces, then settled into a heavy, lumbering trot westward along the beach. He did not wish the woman to recognize him; therefore he was putting himself out of her way. For she was approaching. When Whitaker caught sight of her, she was already close at hand. She had been running. Now as their glances met, hers keenly inquiring of Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she pulled up abruptly and stood astare. He saw, or fancied, something closely akin to fright and consternation in her look. The flush in her cheeks gave way to a swift pallor. The hands trembled that drew ber beach cloak close about ber. She seemed to make an ineffectual effort to speak. On bis part, Whitaker tried to get up. • keen twinge in bis ankle, however, wrung an involuntary .grunt from Mm, and with a wry grimace be sank back. "Ob r cried tne woman, impulsively. "You're burtr She advanced a pace, solicitous aid sympathetic. "On, not muck," Wbitnkar replied to a tea* more of hope tnan of ance. He felt tenderly of the Injured (member. "Only my ankle—twisted It a few days ago, and now again. It'll be all right in >x moment or two." Her gaze traveled from him to the edge of the bluff. "I didn't see—I mean, 1 heard something, and turned, and saw you trying to sit up and the other man rising." "Sorry we startled you," Whitaker mumbled, wondering how the deuce he was going to get home. His examination of the ankle hadn't proved greatly encouraging. "But I—ah—how did It happen?" "A mere misunderstanding," he said lightly. "I mistook the gentleman for someone I knew. He resented it, so we started to scrap like a couple of schoolboys. Then . . . I wish to heaven It had been his leg instead of mine!" "But still I hardly understand . . .* "Well, you see, I—ah—rin visiting Ember—the cottage next to yours, I believe. That Is, if I'm not mistaken, you have the Fiske place?" She nodded. "And so, this morning, it struck me as a fine young idea to swim over here and have a look at the beach. And then I found that chap watching you—" That startled her. "How do you mean—watching me?" . "Why—ah—that's what he seemed to be doing." She shook her head. "You must be mistaken." "Daresay. I generally am when I Jump at conclusions. Anyway, he didn't like It much when I called him out Of his name. I gathered, in fact, that he was considerably put out SilTy, wasn't it?" "Rather r she agreed gravely. For a moment or two they eyed one another in silence, Whitaker wondering just how much of a fool she was thinking him and dubiously considering various expedients to ingratiate himself. "I don't seem to think of anything useful to say," he ventured. "Can you help me out? Unless you'd be interested to know my name's Whitaker— Hugh Whitaker— ?" - She acknowledged the Information merely by a brief nod. "It seems to me," she said seriously, "that the pressing question is, what are you going to do about that ankle? Shall you be able to walk?" "Hard to say," he grumbled, a trifle dashed. With infinite pains and the aid of both hands and his sound foot, "Please !" she said—not altogether patiently. - He eyed her askance. There was in this Incredible situation u certain piquancy, definitely provocative, transcending the claims his Injury made upon his interest. Last night for the first time he- had been this woman, and from a distance had thought her desirable; now, within twelve hours, he found himself with uu arm round her neck i And then suddenly she turned her head and intercepted his whole-hearted stare. For a thought wonder glimmered In the violet eyes; then they flashed disconcertingly; finally they became utterly colC and disdainful. "Well?" she demanded in a frigid voice. He looked away in complete confusion, and felt his face burning to the temples. "I beg your pardon," he mumbled unhappily. He essayed to walk. Twenty feet and more of treacherous, dry, yielding sand separated them from the flight of steps that ascended the bluff. It proved no easy Journey. The stairway accomplished, he limped to a wooden seat and sat down with much grim decision in his manner. But he mustered a smile to meet her look of concern, and shook his head. tuThus far and no farther." "Oh, but you must not be stubborn 1" MI mean to be—horrid stubborn. In fact, I don't mind warning you that there's a famous strain of mule In the Whitaker make-up." She was, however, not to be diverted ; and her fugitive frown bespoke Impatience, if he were any judge. £ Llfjfjfj^lfjfjfJlQQj^lQlfj^Qiyj^QQQifljj^, Who do you think this girl is? And what Is the purpose of the unrecognized spy?

The death of James Collins, the modern historian of Dublin, reminds one that Mr. Collins was engaged In completing a work of his friend, the late Michael Davitt, Irish nationalist and labor leader, once a mill lad in Haslingden. One*'of Davitt's stories intended for inclusion Is the following: The "Irish Tribune," as Davitt was called, having served many years in Chatham and other prisons as a political prisoner, had been a free man some six months, when he was addressing a huge meeting In the Rotunda, Dublin. Davitt had worked his audience up to a tense pitch of enthusiasm and concluded a great speech amid a perfect storm of applause. When he had resumed his seat and the applause was subsiding a voice from the gallery cried out: "Bravo, X Twenty-nine I" Davitt started and, looking up, beheld the grinning face of a well-known '•cracksman" whom he had left finishing a five years' term in Chatham prison, and who had hailed Davitt by his prison number. It did not take an Irish audience long to scent out the humor of the situation and the Rotunda rang with peals of laughter, In which both 'Tier majesty's ex-guests" heartily Joined. ^¾.^^ * * Whitaker Closed In Promptly. he lifted himself and contrived to stand erect for an instant then bore a little weight on the hurt ankle—and blanched, paling visibly beneath his ineradicable tan.

While we very naturally dislike s plant that poisons us When we touch It, yet if we investigate the reason for its poison we discover that a vast number of plants develop poisons and near poisons, and when we look over the list we find that we would be rather badly off without them, the National Geographic Magazine states. It is true that most of them are poisonous only when eaten, and that few are poisonous to the touch, but they have all developed these qualities In self-defense. Some of them store their poison In their seeds, others In their root stocks and others In their roots to protect their progeny from harm.

Latin-American Diplomatic Representatives Hold Session to Talk Over the President's Peace Plan. Washington—Washington is prepared for a general chorus of indorsement by the neutral nations of the world of President Wilson's move toward peace in Europe. The nature and form of the Swiss note pledging support to the president's peace policy was accepted as practically guaranteelag prompt action by the other neutrals. Washington diplomats declared the Scandinavian nations could be expected to fall into line behind the president's proposals and it was stated authoritatively that Sweden would probably forward an endorsement following closely the form of the Swiss note, within a few days. A conference of diplomatic representatives of important Latin-American countries was held. The question of indorsing the president's peace plan and of taking action similar to that of Switerland was discussed and as a result of the conference long telegrams were sent to the home governments outlining the situation and asking for instructions. Further conferences will be held as soon as replies to the messages have been received. One of the conferees stated that the opinion of the Central and South American representatives here was "generally favorable to Indorsement of the American note." As an evidence of the German intention not to name terms that the Allies cannot accept it was stated authoritatively that Germany will not ask for the restoration of Kiau-Chau. Germany will merely ask that in return for the evacuation of Belgium and France her colonies "or their equivalent" shall be restored to her.

The impression of official and newspaper circles appeared in the editions under large display headlines as the all-important news of the Christmas season, reviving the interest in the German peace overtures which had sunk to a low point under the influence of the preliminary declarations of statesmen of the Entente powers. The American embassy, to which the ambassador, James W. Gerard, returned from New York, the Associated Press correspondent and the American charge, Joseph C. Crew, were besieged by newspapermen who sought additional information concerning the president's peace note, but nothing beyond the press dispatches could be given.

EXPORT RECORD IS BROKEN The Total Exports for Twelve Months Will Reach Five and a Half Billion. . Washington — When the United States closes its books the last day of this year it will have recorded the enormous total of foreign commerce of approximately eight billion dollars. Nothing like that was ever before even approached. The total exports for the 12 months will total about five and a half billion. Imports, approximately two an a half billion. The department ot commence haa just issued a statement regarding foreign commerce for November In which it is announced ftiat exports during that month were the largest on record, exceeding the previous "high month" of September by $3,000,000. The November total was $517,900,- 000; the total for the first 11 months of the calendar year, $4,961,200,000, against $3,195,400,000 for the same period in 1915 and $2,250,800,000 in 1913, the largest total in normal years, ' Imports for November were valued at $177,000,000; a slight decrease from October ($173,700,000;) but exceeding by $21,500,000 November, 1915, and by $35,000,000, or 25 per cent, the November average from 1911 to 1915.

By ELINOR J U t S H Warner Markham, a young Awerl- -euu, rich, « i s VH y much afraid that, If he married, i he glrr he chose would place a much higher value on his money than on himself. -He went abroad thinking that h« might meet some girl with whom he might have a real affair «f the heart. To conceal his wealth he j traveled iu second or third class railway carriage*, stayed at pensions (Warding bouses) instead of hotels and ^henrlse curtailed his expose*. 1¾ IPlorenoe, where art is the princi ~$*i attraction, he was one morning looking at the plctwea In the Ufflzl jttiiery ^when he came tjpop-a young girl copying a picture by Titian. The , sun, shining in at a window, glinted***] head of wavy hair the exact shade of I that belonging to a girl represented In j +h# painting sbe copied. Of the real | girl and the painted one Markham greatly preferred the former. Indeed, his heart went out to her with one of those sudden, unaccountable impulses -that are common in young persons. Standing behind her, he pretended to t>e examining ber work, but big eye* were fixed on her. A friend passed her, and she spoke a few -words of salutation In the English tongue without the British accent. Markham judged 4-hat she/was an American, und Aineri- '.£UH abroad need no introductiou. Our onntry seems very far from them, a distant land sunken far below the western horizon, from which they are •cut oft! and*from which they hear very little. This makes them all akin. *farkham, who was a flue Jvdpe'mf pfcluxes, did not hesitate to exprt s his approval of the way the copyist was dejhag her work and call her attention to 'gome differences between her copy and the oUginal. She looked up»at him, *avv/admiration iu Lis eyes and turned here ba^k upon her work with a flutleting of the heart that she had never felt beftn*. Markham told her that lie WAS 0¾ American, and she admitted 4*Ang from the same land. After -bin 'lug awhile he passed on. fcbe was Madeline Trevor.

He told ber that he loved ber and was only prevented from asking her to be bis wife by the misery that such a union would bring upou her. Markham noticed that there was no statement from Mies Trevor on this matter to match ul» own. She did not •ay, "Would that I had a fortune—how happy we could be together!"

Washington, Dec. 4.—That the interoats ot national defense require that control of railway Hues should rest yfith the federal government and not •with the states was the claim advanced by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel to the Railway Executive*' Advisory Committee, In concluding 61s preliminary statement of the case for the railways before the Newlands Joint -Committee on Interstate Commerce. *We must be efficient as a nation if We are to deal successfully with our national emergencies," said Mr. Thorn, "and vre must appreciate that efficient transportation Is an essential condition ot national efficiency. If we are to halt and weaken our transportation ayatems- by state lines, by the permanent Imposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national efficiency Impossible." states' Rights Would Net Suffer. Mr. Thorn cited many instances in n h k h shippers In one state were injuriously affected by selfish resrulattata Imposed on the railroads by iielfhboring states. He pointed out teat federal regulation would be no in vasion of the rights of the states but would be the means of preserving the rlgnts which they acquired when they entered the Union, one of which was the right to.the free movement of their products across state boundaries. What the Railroads Advocate. The principles which the railroads believa should be incorporated In any just system of regulation were sum marized by Mr. Thorn as follows: 1. The entire power and duty of regulation should bo In the hands of the national government, except as to matters so essentially local and Incidental that they cannot be used to Interfere with the efficiency of the service or the just rights of the furriers. 2.

It should bo made the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the exercise of its powers to fix reasonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall be just at once to the public and to the carriers. To this end the Commi^iion, tn determining rates, Should consider the necessity of main* taining efficient transportation and extensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the rights of shippers, stockholders and creditors of the roads. 6, Ifbe Interstate Commerce Commls Blon should be mvested with the pow er to fix the rates for "carrying mails. 7, The federal government should have exclusive power to supervise the Issue of stocks and bonds by railroad carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. 8, The law should recognize the essential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary ntile cjjpcerns end those which rain trwfe in the case of common rlers. The question of competition ot the only fair criterion. 0 . l i s t law should expressly provide Ineeting and agreement of trafer officers of railmads in rerates or practices.

The ideas presented by Mr. Fannon wer* of that nature, theft If carried out, could but help the town, the people in it and around it. He made it very ~psain to the patronizera of mail order houses that if the same amount oi goods were purchased at one time from the local mejibarit and cash paid for it, the goods cuuW be bought just as cheap or cheaper at home. He pointed out to the local merchant, the great value of cleanliness and prompt service as a trade getter, also the volue of a well decorated window. For the town as a whcle he showe 1 the inestimable value of pulling together for Pincknew. Don't run your home town down every time there is an occasion to talk about it to strangers.

There ure many bulbs that are excellent for rockeries. Sclllas, which are of a beautiful deep blue, do well in the shade; spring suowflake, with white flowers tipped with green, and snowdrops are excellent for rockererle8. Muscarla or grape hyacinth, crocuse* of various colors, will thrive and take care of themselves once established In the rockeries or In borders In the garden, where they will not be disturbed. The beauty which Is near at hand Is often neglected for the prize that Is denied us—we refer to the beauty and desirability of the Celustrus, or bitter-sweet vine. This native climber found In our woods nnd along fences, Is oue of the most satisfactory vines that can be grown about the house. The Celastrus is as hardy as gran ite, a quick grower, twining securely about its support, and it is not liable to disease. In the fall when flowers are scarce, it covers Itself with clusters of orangecolored fruit which the frost opens, revealing its crimson seeds. Choose a dark, rainy day If possible, for the transplanting, otherwise do this work at sunset—we mean in transplanting seedlings. Water the seedbed thoroughly a short time before you begin to transplant; thy>n lift the plants, with all the soil their roots will hold, and remove to the permanent bed. Keep the seedling covered with a wet cloth, so that the heat and wind will not dry them. With a sharp pointed stick make the hole for the plant and then fill it with water. Plant the seedling in this puddle, drawing the dark soil about the stalk when the ground has been firmed about the plant as much as possible. ; A miniature water garden is practical and will prove most Interesting, needing less attention than a flower bed Its size.

A pianolike that Is no more good. Dahlias can be grown from seeds; they grow stronger than from cuttings and roots, only 1« is hard to find good seeds, now we are in the cheap-seed business; but the man who has u good article does not sell 25-cent packages for 10 cents. If you want dahlia roots for next year, plant them In small pots and let them remain all summer. Keep thera over winter like old roots, and start | them again In the spring. I do not l ^ay this Is absolute, but It Is the best | way to raise dahlias so far. 1 The specialist does it, and it is my ! experience since 18GT. ' It is claimed by dahlia growers that , dividing the roots will degenerate almost all varieties; that Is the reason we have so few good flowers. Of course, a good many will believe that^a cutting will not flower and | make roots to keep over winter, but it Is true; they were raised that way many years ago, and that is the way they are raised today In England, France, Germany and other countries except the United States. It is the reason, too, that the Americans do not care much for the dahlia; they have been deceived too much. They buy old roots and get an old, degenerate plant, sometimes six feet tall and more, and not a blossom in sight. In October, when the nights are cool, the degenerate shows buds, and if the frost does not catch them, they will flower, maybe two weeks, nnd the flower will be deficient In color and size. They blame the weather, etc.; it Is not the weather altogether, but the mode of planting. ; Plant the rymphae root in this and fclaCfrlfi the tub: fill with water until * It 1» two or three inches deep over the root When the growth commences and t o e leaves appear, water may be added from t'.me to time until the tab It MIL ltt*cr change the water, simply replace that which evaporate*. «to-k» THE WAY TOJttlSE GAHUAS ftrflffMftl BSAUTIEN, • good dtlitoa-iatttt bloom from July && feoat, i k d t f K does not, discard IK. 1 wm mm* bfeatlful flowers on ptoata te July and A o g w t very PLANTS WITHOUT SUN The best plants for sunless room* are ferns and palms and perhaps the best one of all is aspidistra.

London—Mackeaaen's army, striking at Bucharest from the Danube, has been defeated by the Russians and Rumanians southwest of the Rumanian capital, according to dlapatches from Petrograd and Bucharest. Successes en the Transylvania front are also claimed. The Germans in their retreat lost many prisoners and 26 gun:, according to the official reports from Rumanian and Ru&alan war offices. Berlin, in an official statement, stating that the Rumanians have made "a successful advance on the Argechu river, on the front before Bucharest" Bucharest Believed Saved. London sees in the victory the salvation of Bucharest, and in the first joy of success where only disaster waa expected, affects to discern the crushing of Teutonic hopes on the Danube and the saving of Rumania from the fate of Serbia. The turning of the battle is credited to the Russians, who, after all, it seems, arrived at the-'southern defenses of King Ferdinand's capital In time to turn back the powerful thrust of the Central nations which had swept up to the outer forts, only 12 miles from the suburbs. Teutons Continue Rush, While Ruaaian reinforcements, rushed to the aid of the Rumanians defending Bucharest, have succeeded in halting temporarily at least, Field Marshal von Mackensen'a drive against the capital, Von Falkenhayn's rush down upon the fortress from the northwest continues in the face of desperate Rumanian resistance. Falkenhayn's forces have reached Gaesci, 30 miles from Bucharest's outer fortifications. In a titanic eleventh, hour effort to avert a junction of the main forces of Mackensen and Falkenhayn, the Rumanians, aided by Muscovite troops, are offering battle on a front of some 50 miles, along the Argechu river. Balancing their defeat south of the capital, a Teuton flanking movement has crushed a Rumanian column In the same field, the Rumanian war office admits. ALLIES DEMAND REPARATION Firing Ceases and Entente Troops Are Withdrawn From Piraeus. Paris—Greece must make reparation to the Entente Powers for the recent attacks on the Allied troops. The ultimatum has been made to the Greek government, following the offer by the latter to turn over to Vice-Admiral Du Fournet six mountain batteries, according to a Havas dispatch from Athens. The ministers of the Allies have been instructed to inform the Greek authorities it is no longer a question of cession of war materials, but a far more serious situation, and that reparation must be madein accord with the gravity of the assault on the Allied troops. An embargo has been placed on Greek shipping in French and other ports of the Allies in consequence of the recent events in Athens. A Havas agency dispatch from that city says that firing ceased and the Entente troops have been withdrawn from Athens to the Piraeus. The Allies have agreed to remove their representatives, who have been in, control of the Greek postal and telegraph service. • The Matin states that Athos Romanes, Greek minister to France, has sent his resignation to his government, on account of the aggression of Greek troops against the forces disembarked by thr ^lies.

The president said: Gentlemen of the Congress: In fulfilling at this time the duty laid upon me by the Constitution of communicating to you from time to time information of the state of the Union and recommending to your consideration such legislative measures as may t>e judged necessary and expedient 1 shall continue the practice, which I hope has been acceptable to you, of leaving to the reports of the several heads of the executive departments the elaboration of the detailed needs of the public service and confine myself to those matters of more general public policy with which it seems necessary and feasible to deal at the present session of the congress. I realize the limitations of time under which you will necessarily act at this session and shall make iny suggestions as few as possible; but there were some things left undone at the last session which there will now be time to complete and which it seems necessary in the interest of the public to do at once. In the first place, it seems to me imperatively necessary that the enrliesi possible consideration and action should be accorded the remaining measures of the program of settlement and regulation which I had occasion to recommend to you at the close of your last session in view of the public dangers disclosed by the unaccommodated difficulties which then existed, and which still unhappily continue to exist, between the railroads of the country and their locomotive engineers, conductors, and trainmen. Railway Troubles First I then recommended: First, immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative reorganisation of the interstate commerce commission along the lines embodied In the bill recently passed by the house of representatives and now awaiting action by the senate; in order that the commission may be enabled to deal with the many great and various duties now devolving upon it with a promptness and thoroughness which are, with Its present constitution and means of action, practically impossible. Second, the establishment of an eight-hour day as the legal basis alike of work and of wages in the employment of all railway employees who are actually engaged In the work of operating trains In interstate transportation. Third, the authorization of the appointment by the president of a small body of men to observe the actual results In experience of the adoption of the eight-hour day in railway transportation alike for the men and for the railroads. Fourth, explicit approval by the congress of tine consideration by the interstate commerce commission of an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eighthour day and which have not been offset by administrative readjustments and economies, should the facts disclosed justify the increase. Fifth, an amendment of the existing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation, and arbitration of such controversies as the present by adding to it a provision that, in case the methods of accommodation now provided for should fail, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be Instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may lawfully be attempted. And, sixth, the lodgment in the hands of the executive of the power. In ease of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railroads of the country a s may be required for military Me and to operate them for military purposes, with avtfeorlty to draft into the military service of the United States each train crews^md administratis* oflefais as the circumstances require for their enfe and efficient use. faeacMS MM Wecowwwewdatiotia. Tre second and third of these rec- MuueodetioB* the comrrrw immediately acted e n : It entaMlsbed the etghthoav dey at tawauaal aa*s of work suggestions until an opportunity should be offered for a more deliberate consideration of them. The fourth recommendation I do not deem it necessary to renew. The power of the Interstate commerce commission tp grant un Increase of rates on the ground referred to Is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the congress with regard to such a matter might seem to draw In question the scope of the commission's authority or Its inclination to do justice when there is no reason to doubt either. The other suggestions—the increase in the interstate commerce commission's membership and In its facilities for performing its manifold duties, the provision fdr full public investigation and assessment of Industrial disputes, and the grant to the executive of the power to control and operate the railways when necessary in time of war or other like public necessity—I now very earnestly renew. The necessity for such legislation is manifest and pressing. Those who have intrusted us with the responsibility and duty of serving and safeguarding them in such matters would find it hard, I believe, to excuse a failure to act upon these grave matters or any unnecessary postponement of action upon them. Not only does the Interstate commerce commission now find it practically impossible, with its present membership and organization, to perform Its great functions promptly and thoroughly, but it is not unlikely that it may presently be found advisable to add to its duties still others equally heavy and exacting. It must first be perfected as an administrative instrument. The country cannot and should not consent to remain any longer exposed to profound Industrial disturbances for lack of additional means of arbitration and conciliation which the congress can easily and promptly supply. And all will agree that there must be no doubt as to the power of the executive to make immediate and uninterrupted use of the railroads for the concentration of the military forces of the nation wherever they are needed and whenever they are needed. This is a program of regulation, prevention and administrative efficiency which argues its own case in the mere statement of it. With regard to one of its items, the Increase in the efficiency of the interstate commerce commission, the house of representatives \ l h a s nlready acted; Its action needs only the concurrence of the senate. For Control and Operation. I would hesitate to recommend, and I dare say the congress would hesitate to act upon the suggestion should I make it, that any man in any occupation should be obliged by law to continue in an employment which he desired to leave. To pass a law which forbade or prevented the Individual workman to leave his work before re- [ ceiving the approval of society in doing so would be to adopt a new principle into our jurisprudence which I take it for granted we are not prepared to Introduce. But the proposal that the operation of the railways of the country shall not be stopped or interrupted by the concerted action of organized bodies of men until a public Investigation shall have been Instituted which shall make the whole question at issue plain for the judgment of the opinion of the nation is not to propose any such principle. It is based upon the very different principle that the concerted action of powerful bodies of men shall not be permitted to stop the industrial processes of the nation, at any rate before the nation shall have had an opportunity to acquaint Itself with the merits of the case as between employee and employer, time to form its opinion upon an impartial statement of the merits, and opportunity to consider all practicable means of conciliation or arbitration. I can see nothing in that proposition but the justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of its very life. There is nothing arbitrary or unjust in it unless It be arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be d'.n< with a full and scrupulous regard for the interests and liberties of all concerned as well as for the permanent interests of society itself, j •ttf3*n***V*i PINCKNEY DISPATCH • > . . - : \ • • • • - * * * . , • • : ? tions may seem to be leas necessary than the Immediate enactment of the other measures to which I refer; because at least two years will elapse before another election in which federal offices are to be filled; but it would greatly relieve the public mind if this Important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dangers to the public morals of the present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand dear under recent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and a delay would have the further very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another election was at hand and some special object connected with it might be thought to be in the mind of those who urged It Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and without suspicion of partisan purpose. I shall not argue at length the desirability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and concerted effort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export trade. That enterprise will presently, will immediately assume, has indeed already assumed, a magnitude unprecedented in our experience. We have not the necessary instrumentalities for Its prosecution; it is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for it which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. Th< thing must be done now, because the opportunity Is here and may escape us if we hesitate or delay. Porto Rico's Needs. The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just. We have created expectations of extended privilege which we have not satisfied. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt with regard to our intenticas concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do it at once. There are other matters already advanced to the stage of conference between the two houses of which it is not necessary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the Sixty-fourth congress, I hope that you will permit me to say witii what genuine pleasure and satisfaction I have co-operated with you in the many measures^of constructive policy with which you have enriched the legislative annals of the country. It has been a privilege to labor In such company. I take the liberty of congratulating you upon the completion of a record of rare serviceableness and distinction!'

The central purpose of the act Is to establish a form of warehouse receipt for grain, wool, flaxseed, cotton uLd j tobacco which will make these receipts easily and widely negotiable as delivery orders or as collateral for loans, and therefore of definite assistance in financing crops. This purpose the act aims to attain by licensing and bonding warehouses under conditions which will insure the integrity of the receipts and make them reliable evidence of the condition, quality, quantity and ownership of the products named which may be stored with them. Fifty-three Michigan counties, including Bay, Genesee, Jackson, Muskegon, Saginaw and a part of Kent county, have been placed in the district of which Detroit is the administrative headquarters. The Detroit district Includes all counties in the lower peninsula except Branch, Calhoun, Hillsdale, Lenawee and portions of Kent, Monroe, Ottawa and Washtenaw counties. All of Kent county is included in "this district except South Grand Rapids and points south of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railway, Eagle Mills and points south on the Lake Shore. All of Ottawa county Is Included except stations on the Pere Marquette railroad. All of Barry county is included except stations on the Michigan Central and Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railway. All of Washtenaw county Is Included except stations south of Pittsfleld on the Ann Arbor railroad. Portions of Kent, Barry and Ottawa counties excepted from the Detroit district are in the Chicago district.

As a result there is bound to be legislation introduced at the coming session of the legislature which will tend to curb the activities of Bre*r Reynard. Although attempts were made Inst winter and in the cold, wet days of the spring to protect the game birds, it has dawned on many hunters that the greatest destroyer of game, bird life in the north woods, or In any of the woods where the birds can live, is the red fox. Hunting parties this season, in the sections of the middle portion of the state, where partridge usually abound, return practically emptyhanded. And they blame it all on the fox. The state game department has had reports for months past to show that the fox steals the birds when they are young, and even In the winter time sneaks up on the old birds while they are roosting and makes away with them. Game wardens, some of them at least, have* reported that the destruction of partridge by foxes Is greater than the havoc caused either by the hard winters or by the guns of the hunters.

For 1917 the state supreme court will have one of the youngest chief justices In the history of Michigan— Hon. Franz Kuhn, formerly of Mount Clemens. Justice Kuhn will automatically become the head of the highest Judicial body in the commonwealth at high noon Monday, January 1, when he succeeds Justice John W. Stone of Marquette, who during 1916 has guided the destinies of the court. For 1917 the assignments will be made by Justice Kuhn. To his lot also will fall the administration of the oath of office to the newly elected governor, Albert E. Sleeper. Justice Kuhn will have served a s chief justice for a full month and several days before he will celebrate his forty-fifth birthday. In his career a s a lawyer, since his graduation front the law department of the University of Michigan, in 1804, he has arisen; rapidly. In the year of his graduation; he was made circuit court commissioner In Macomb county, which position he held for two years. Then he went up into the office of prosecutor. He served three terms and in 1904 was elected probate judge of Macomb county and re-elected In 1908. He resigned, however, in 1910 when Governor Warner appointed him attorney general to succeed John E. Bird, who had been elevated to the supreme bench through the resignation of Justice Robert M. Montgomery to accept' a position on the United States court of claims. Filling out the unexpired term of Mr. Bird, Attorney General Kuhn was elected to succeed himself, then was appointed to the supreme bench In 1912 by Governor Osborn, to take the place made vacant by the death of Justice Charles E. Blair. P. M. Plan .Up to Board.

Supposed to be dead, Hugh Whitaker turns up In New York after five years and hunts for the girl he married there to protect her good name. During the midst of a brilliant theatrical performance, he and she recognize one another across the footlights. (She is known at 8ara Law, a noted actress.) The play stops abruptly. She refuses to sao him. Drummond, his former law partner, engaged to marry the supposed widow, Is reported a suicide. Whltaker's friend, Mar. tin Ember, former detective, doubts the report and warns Whitaker to beware of violence from a mysterious source. The warning Is Ignared. Whitaker is murderously assaulted and goes to Ember's country place to recover. Strange things happen there as told in this in* stallment Queer goings onl . " . . > * • CHAPTER IX. —10— The Window. Though they left New York not long -after three In the afternoon, twilight was fast ebbing Into night when Ember gave the motor its head. Its headlights dove a path through darkness, like a splendid sword; on either hand woodlands and desolate clearings blurred into dark and rushing walls; only the wonderful wilderness of stars remained imperturbable. ' Whitaker, braced against the Jolting, snatched begrudged mouthfuls of air strong of the sea. He had no very definite Idea of their whereabouts, having neglected through sheer indifference to •qr.estion Ember, but he knew that they •were drawing minute by minute closer t o the Atlantic. After some time the car slowed to -n palpitant pause. Ember Jumped out to open a barred gate, then, returning, *wung the car Into a clear but narrow "Woodland road. "Mine own domain,** (Be informed Whitaker with a laugh. *Now we're shut of the world entirely.- Whitaker bent forward. Inquiring: ""Where are we?" "Almost there. Patience." Whitaker reckoned Idly that they luust have threaded a good two miles «>f woodland, when at length the car. •emerged upon a clearing and Immediately turned aside to the open doorway of a miniature garage. The forest hemmed the clearing on three aides; on the fourth lay water. A hundred yards distant the lighted windows of a one-story structure shone pleasantly through a scattering plantation of pine.

"Bungalow," he explained, sententious, flourishing his free hand; "hermitage— retreat" *Taradlse," Whitaker summed up, In the same manner. "No neighbors?"

I understand the place Is shut up—FUke not coming down this year." "So much the better. Tve been wantiog Just this all summer, without realising It" "Welcome, then, to Half-a-Loaf lodge!" They entered a long and deep living room with walls of peeled logs and, at one end, a stone fireplace wherein a wood fire biased heartily. At a comfortable distance from the hearth stood a table bright with linen, silver and crystal—covers for two. The rear wall was broken by three doors, in one of which a rotund Chinaman beamed oieaglnously. Ember hailed him by -the title of Sum Fat, explaining that it wasn't bis name, but claiming for it the virtue of PTqnlaltft felicity. "My servant In town, here manof- all-work; I*ve bad him tor years; faithful and Indispensable. . • .** Toward the end of an excellent dinset, Whitaker caught himself nodding • a d blinking with drowsiness}.

Now I've got to get Into waterproofs—It's raining like all get-out, but I can't wait for a letup." By the time Whitaker was ready for breakfast his host had splashed off to his motor car. The wind, freshening and driving very respectable if miniature rollers against the beach, came In heavy gusts, alternating with periods of steady, strong blowing. At times the shining lances of the rain seemed to drive almost horizontally. Whitaker poked his head Into the kitchen. In that immaculate place, from which every hint of breakfast had disappeared as if by magic, Sum Fat was religiously cleaning his teeth—for the third time that morning, to Whltaker's certain knowledge. When he had finished, Whitaker put a question: "Sum Fat, which way does the wind blow, do you know?" Sum Fat flashed him a dazzling smile. "East'ly," he said In a cheerful, clucking voice. "I think vely fine three-day blow." "At least," said Whitaker, "you're a high-spirited prophet of evlL I thank you." He selected a book from several shelves stocked with a discriminating taste, and settled himself before the fire. The day wore out before his patience Jld, and with every indication of fulfilling the prognosis of Sum Fat; by nightfall the wind had developed Into an enthusiastic gale, driving before it sheeted rain and great ragged wastes of mist. And the second day was like unto the first The third day broke full of the spirit of the second; but toward noon the rain ceased. In the evening, weary of the sedulous attentions of a cloud of famished mosquitoes, Whitaker sat fn darkness, not tired enough to go to bed, too tired to bestir himself and seek distraction from a tormenting train of thought A pool of limpid moonJlcfet lay like milk upon the floor beneath a window and held his dreaming game while mem- Of the 70 kinds of birds existing In New Zealand, 30 are found nowhere else, and of this number by far the larger portion Is flightless; this, no doubt owing to the fact that for ages, ever since the sea swallowed up a conpageant of wasted years.

But later he reckoned it could not have been long after ten o'clock when he was disturbed. The sound of a footfall, hushed and stealthy on the veranda, roused him with a start and almost at the same Instant he became aware of a shadow that troubled the pool of moonlight the foreshortened shadow of a man's head and shoulders. He sat-ap, tense, rigid with surprise and wonder, and stared at the silhouetted body at pause just outside the window. The fellow was stooping'to peer in. Had Drummond hunted him down to this isolate hiding place? On the thought he leaped up, in two strides slammed out through the door. "I s a y T he cried loudly.

Here he pulled up, for the first time alive to the intrinsic Idiocy of his conduct and diverted besides by the discovery that his Impression of the early evening, that the cottage was tenanted, had been well founded. The ground floor windows shone with a dim but warm Illumination. He could see distinctly part of a living room rather charmingly furnished in a summery way. At Its farther end a darkhaired woman In a plain black dress with a short apron and lace cap sat reading by lamplight—evidently a maid. Her mistress—judging- by appearances— was outside on the lawn below the veranda, strolling to and fro In company with a somewhat short and heavy man who wore an automobile duster and vtsored cap. By contrast, her white-clad figure, invested with the illusion of moonlight seemed unusually talL Her hair was fair, shining like a headdress of palest gold as she bent her head, attentive to her companion. And Whitaker thought to discern an unusual quality in her movements, a quality of charm and a grnciousness of mien rarely to be noticed even In the most beautiful of the women he had known. Of a sudden the man paused, produced a watch from beneath his duster, consulted it brielly and shut the case with a snap. He said something In a brusque tone, and was answered by what sounded like a pleasant negative. Promptly, as Lf annoyed, he turned and strode hastily away, disappearing round the house. Alone, the woman watched hi in as long as he was in sight, her head to one side with an effect of critical amusement Then, with a low laugh, she crossed the veranda and entered the lighted room. At the same time Whitaker,. lingering and watching without In the least understanding or even questioning why he was doing this thing so cohtraryto his instincts, heard the heavy rumble of a motor car on the far side of the house and saw the machine swing off across the clearing Into the woods. In the living room the woman was saying: "You may go now, Ellse. I'll be ready for bed before long." "Yes, madam." The maid rose and moved briskly out of eight Her mistress, casting aside a scarf of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood for a moment In deep thought, her head bowed, the knuckle of a slender forefinger tapping her chin—charmingly posed. Whitaker abruptly understood why It was he loitered, peeping— she was absolutely beautiful, a creature both exquisite and superb, a matchless portrait for the galleries of his memory. MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY; Something—a movement or a slight sound—had drawn bis attention from the woman. He saw the other man standing boldly in full moonlight all his attention concentrated on the brilliant picture framed by the window. He was unquestionably without knowledge of the nearness of the other—of Whitaker in the shadows. And though his back wua to the nroon and his face further shadowed by a peaked cap, Whitaker was absolutely sure of the man—he was certainly Drummond. Without pause for thought he sprang toward him. in a guarded voice uttering his name—"Drummond 1" But the fellow proved too alert and quick for him. Whltaker's hands closed on nothing more substantial than thin air; at the same time he received a blow upon his bruised shoulder smart and forcible enough to stagger him and evoke an in* Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble He Sat Up Tense, Rigid With Surprise. voluntary grunt of pain. And before he could regain his balance the fellow was thrashing noisily away through the woodland underbrush. Forthwith he struck off and blunc'ertl senselessly through the forest misled by its elusive phantasmagoria, until, realizing at length he did but duplicate an earlier folly, he gave up the chase in disgust and slowly made his way back to the bungalow. It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do & tremendous amount of work in removing the poison* and waste matter from the system by filtering; the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take leas exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Hoot. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you.

Stpwart noticed a goodsized catfish floating downstream, a Statesville (N. C.) correspondent of the New York Sun writes. The nsh was very much alive and was In much commotion, apparently trying to go under water and for some reason unable to. Mr. Stewart was Interested and he got htB boat, went out on tlte river and captured the fish. He put it In a tub of water and found that It wouldn't sink. This led to further examination and Mr. Stewart says he found the fish had swallowed a large quantity of wheat—having access to the wheat as a result of the recent floods—the wheat grains had swelled so the fish couldn't digest thera and altogether that gorge of wheat had put that fish In a bad fix. He not only could not go under the water, but he was doubtless suffering much "misery" on his inside*. In all his long experience on the river Mr. Stewart says he had never come across a case like that On Eugenics. Prof. Herbert L.

This problem was to have bean taken op in the last session but had to be deferred on account of the consideration required by railway mail pay. Sines this has been disposed of the committee* are prepared to take op the matter of placing the various postal rates on a more equitable basis. A zone system of rates for second class matter is being prominently raged to take the place of the present flat rate which was adopted nearly forty y«ars ago. The present rate has for some time been regarded as - discrimination against the news papers h- favor of the great- national magazines. L&e the parcel post the proposed zjue rates would be based on the lerv n of the haul. The postal committees have been beseiged by petitions bearing millions ot names and several hundred thousand Utters from individuate urging a readjustment of postal rates with a view of making possible one cent letter postage. A survey o£ the situation indicates that sufficient changes will be made in the various rates to permit the granting of a one cent rate on local delivery letters in the next session of Congress. Chairman Moon of the House Postal Committee, today said; "1 think that the committee will take up this second class mail matter at the next stssiou and press it to a conclusion at once, while I cannot speak for the Committee, this is my desire in the matter. 1 do,not know what kind ot a bill we will pass, whether it will have a zone feature attached to it or not. This view has been presented frequently in years past, and sometimes received favor ar.j sometimes not. As to wLat shape ta<- iegislation wilt be in I am not able to say, but I am sure tne committee will give it the best possible shape in the public interest. Congressman Frank t).

But instead of coming down they keep on going up and we are told by men who ought to know that paper will continue to g o up instead of down. Thongh the board appointed to ascertain the high cost of paper has found tbat there is no reasonable excuse for the high prices, the fact still remains that the small publisher will have to pay the prices asked or go without paper.

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN It is u good, fur cry from the grim horrors of war to the pretty hyacinth and the crocus, but recent news brings the interesting lnformution that the great European conflict is presenting a serious menace to the chief source of Imported bulbs. Private advices received In New York from flower folk in Holland, who cannot be considered as prejudiced or even Interested In the larger affairs of state, say that there Is danger of having the bulb supply for the next half century destroyed. Holland has her army ready to fight either side, and she has a number of Issues which might make her entry possible. As a first Hem of defense she plans to flood all the lands in her dike system. This, say the flower experts, will result In the destruction of the great bulb Industry. Not for 50 years, according to the sages of fiowerdoin, will the industry recover from such a calamity. All of which Is hut a news prefnee to the remark that the raising of bulbs In pots, pans and glasses during the winter months is a simple and inexpensive process if one Is fairly careful of the requirements. Among the many methods by which bulbs can be successfully grown, there a r e : In soil placed in pots and pans, with drainage at the bottom. In fiber, which is a light, spongy material, prepared with a view to prevent souring. Bowls, jardinieres, vases or any other receptacles where the roots can take hold may be used. In water, with pebbles or sand in the bottom of glasses, to prevent the bulbs from falling over. Hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils, tulips and crocus are among the joys that are easily possible with little effort. Almost every dealer In the country has his stock of bulbs ready for the market If forcing Is wanted, the larger bulbs should be taken. They grow larger and stronger flowers. The last of November is not too late for planting. and the treatment of all bulbs is about the same, excepting that tulips take more time than the others. Here are a few hints: A six-Inch pot Is the best for all purposes. Use light garden soil in potting. Place a piece of broken pot over the hole In the bottom to secure free drainage. Fill the pot three-quarters with soil. Three hyacinths, as many narcissus, five tulips and a dozen crocuses can be placed In a six-Inch p o t Space evenly. The practice of placlng»a layer of d e a n sand directly under the bulbs Is always good. It helps keep the newly formed roots clean, but It la not essentlal to success. A dark corner of the cellar Is a good place to place the pots. The keeping of the soil damp IU thereby aided. In the winter prop- •er some of the quick-growing species may be grown in water. Hyacinths, paper-white narcissus and sacred Chioeso IHJes are among the best for this porpose. Fill the glass with water. so that it last touches the bottoms of [tilt tons* and set In a dark place un- 48 the glass la filled with roots. Than fttla* iai* .tfcr-raoin, and change tan water once or twice a week. Temperature of from 00 to 05 degrees is about right for th-> venture. Personally, I like to experiment with bulbs. The results are usually assured with small care. HAVE FLOWERS IN THE HOUSE UNTIL EASTER. An abundant supply of flowers can be had in every home from Thanksgiving until Easter at comparatively small cost with no greater facilities than exist In every ordinary dwelling house. Perhaps the most satisfactory bulbs than can be grown In n sunny window for winter flowers are Roman hyacinths and narcissi. Plant the bulbs in shallow boxes or pans having a depth of four or five Inches. The soil must he ordinarily good, garden soil. The bulbs should he planted close together, so they almost touch. They should be set so that the tops protrude slightly above the soil when (he potting Is done. Have tho pan or box extend fully an inch above the soil to allow for a thorough wetting of the earth. When they are potted and well watered set In a cool part of the cellRr. Cover the boxes with bits of old bagging if the cellar Is light. See that a natural condition of moisture Is maintained. Bulbs that hnvp boon potted October 10 should be thoroughly rooted by December 10, or even earlier, nnd they ran then be brought Into the lltrht of the living room and will be 'n bloom for Christmas or New Tear's. Plenty of water Is necessary for the bulbs brought into the living room. By having a pan of bulbs ready to bring from the cellar every ten days or so. a succession of flowers can be had all through the winter. LITTLE NOTES OF INTEREST Trees and shrubbery may be planted just as long as the ground remains unfrozen. The department of agriculture of the United States will have $36,128,852 available from this year's appropriations for the advancement of farm and garden science. Big Item when the needs bf war and other useless and unproductive items Is considered. There Is a right and a wrong way to cut a rose. When a rose is cut from the tea and perpetual blooms only two or three eyes of the current season's growth should be left The iris Is more Important to the flower lover Just now than the ultimate Indemnity to be paid by the loser of the European war. • * • ; - • >i3' •^i&r&ji*: PINCKNEY DISPATCH MARKET QUOTATIONS LNo Stock, D E T R O I T - - C a t t l o Receipts C.4G2; Btbt heavy .steers, $7.7o&S.OO; best handy weight b u s i e r ssiot.-ra, $7(^7.00; Uiixed steers aud heitt-ris, ¢ 6 ^ 6 . 7 ^ ; handy li^ht butchers, $5.^5^5.75: light butchi.';^ $ 4 . 7 5 ^ 5 ; best cows, $6.50¾ vi; timelier tov.o, $5 y, O.Li; common covss, $1 5L»rtJ 4.75; cuiiuersi, $o.5ti (it 4, b< sc h.,-a\y buihi, $5.5(J(a ti.10; b<_ho-tm bulls, $ 5 ^ 5 . - 6 stock bulls, $4.50@4.75; feeders, $<i^G.75; siockt r s , $ 5 ^ 6 ; Miiier^ i.ud a ^ringers, $40 Calves---Kecvipts 1,'lho, A few extra fafrey sold ai $12.50, bulk of. the beat $11¾ llh medium and com men gij.a^.3 iioO'lil; iii.d heavy $ 5 ^ 0 . ^ 5 .

The subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood. In recent years Investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of •dentists snch as Cannon, Qnxtsner, Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during digestion is necessary in good bodily housekeeping. If your kidneys are sick, or yon suffer with lumbago or rheumatism a t times, pain in the back or back of t h e peck, take a tittle Anurlc before meals. This can be feond at any good drug store. Therefore my advice to young or oM la, always drink plenty of pore water. And for long nfe, occasionally take tablets of Anoxic throe o r t o w times a day. Asuric acts much more quickly than Hthia. Many find t t dissolves v i e a d d i s water dost sugar. Albion.

CHIHUAHUA CITY AT MERCY OF VILLA BANDIT CHIEF AND HIS OUTLAWS ARE PUTTING UP TERRIFIC BATTLE FOR CITY. MANY FOREIGNERS IN CITY Carranza General Jacinto B.

El Paso, Texas -Chihuahua City, with 40,000 of its residents is at the mercy of Francisco Villa. Murder, pillage, rapine and the torch have been resorted to by the Villistas. General Jacinto B. Trevino, with his Carranza army evacuated the city and the Villistas swarmed in after three days and nights of almost persistent fight ing. This is the Information brought to the border by Mexican refugees from Sauz, 20 miles north of Chihuahua. From Chihuahua itself no word has come. The fate of the city which Villa has been hammering with all the force his 8,000 men could muster remains a mystery, except for indefinite rumors and reports at second hand brought to the border by fleeing residents of towns near the state capital. A train which was sent from Juarez with reinforcements and ammunition for General Trevino either was captured by Villa or wrecked by bandits en route. It did not reach Chihuahua in time to do Trevino any good. Juarez heard from underground sources that the men on the train went over to Villa and that the ammunition enab'«d Villato complete the conquest of the city. Still in Chihuahua are known to be 15 or more Americans, 30 or more British, German and French subjects, 500 Chinese who are helpless, and a number of Spanish subjects, and Arabian merchants. talking Difficult Fear.

New York—Army skill triumphed over navy pluck when the football |eams from West Point and Annapolis clashed in their annual battle at the Polo Grounds. The Cadele' victorious score was 15 to 7. but the Middies fought gamely and grimly until the final blast of the whistle. Some 50,000 citizens, not counting the governor of New York, cabinet officers, generals, admirals and an array of lesser lights in both branches of the government service, saw the combat. Only for the absence of President Wilson, the game would have provided all the spectacular incidents which go to make army-navy football battles historic. U. S. TREASURER'S REPORT The Inflow of Gold Brings Treasury Holdings of the Precious Metal to $1303,493,933. Dove Chicken. As cooked by the West India Creoles, it is most delicious. Iloil a largt chicken in just enough water to cover it. When tender remove from the fire and add to the chicken water, a hall enn of tomatoes, some minced parsley, two red pepper cones, two chopped onions, a little binck pepper and enough salt to taste. Stew down to a rich gravy. Then make n stuffing of mashed Irish potatoes, moistened with this gravy, adding a teaeupful of raisins; stuff the chicken and brown in the oven. When done, serve with what was left of the tomato gravy. Lamb and Asparagus. One neck or breast of lamb, one can asparagus, celery salt or seed, one onion, one sprig parsley, pepper and salt to taste. Place the meat In a stewpnn, cover it with cold water, and a pinch of celery salt or seed, the onion chopped, sprig of parsley, pepper and salt to taste. Let all simmer till the meat and vegetables are tender; two lumps of sugar improve the flavor. Remove the meat and vegetables, reduce the liquor a little, take any fat off, place the meat in the center of a hot dish, pour the gravy over, and nrrange the asparagus, which has been heated previously.

VARIOUS members of the District government may claim to have the hardest, the must irksome, the most complicated, and the .superlatives of all sorts of Jobs. Charles F. Nesbit, superintendent of insurance, says he has the funniest. Not that he doesn't work—no, he is some claimant there, too—but the leaven of humor is his almost dally. The other day a series of complaints began coming in against a concern with a high-sounding Biblical name. This was only one of a score of such organizations, claiming to pay sick and accident benetits, which turn up continuously to lighten Nesblt's busy life. Superintendent Nesbit summoned the "president" of the concern, a dapper, red-bow-tied, gentleman of color. "I hear your company hasn't bofn paying claims. Don't you know you can't do business in the District? You haven't any license," the visitor was told. "Now, boss, you'so surely said a moufful. We sure can't seem to do business— that's why we ain't paid them claims. But we tries to collect nios' regulah, suh." Nesbit told him he would have to stop collecting in the absence of a license. "Say, here, does this license cost money?" "Yes." "Well, Mister Nesbit, that's Jest the way this goyn'ment carries on. Now, I ain't got no money to pay claims with yet, you-all want me to pay for a license so I can pay dem claims." The organization has stopped collecting, but has not started paying claims. The next laugh came from the report of an inspector, A colored woman complained that she had been ill for two weeks, and no benefits had been paid. The insurance" company stated that no medical certificate had been received from her. The inspector called around to ask her about this; "Laws, honey, I clean forgot Just you llf up that scarf on the bureau and there's your certificate.n The inspector found the certificate, all right, and four more, for fow successive weeks in advance.

Proposed National Forest in Washington Area THE proposed and planned conservation of the power of the Potomac river above Washington, the submergence of many localities and topographic features long familiar to Washington people, and the conversion of the river from Great Falls to a point near the Little Falls into a lake call to mind a plan for conserving the high wooded lands along the river. It was a plan to which considerable publicity was given at and following the National Conservation congress held at St, Paul, Minn., in 1910, and it Is still alive. William M. Elllcott of Baltimore suggested the creation of a great naof Columbia. It was proposed to actional park bordering on the District eomplish tills by acquiring reservations along the Potomac, Pntnxent and Anacostla rivers, corerlng territory between Washington, Annapolis and Baltimore, and preserving the Palisades and banks of the Potomac from Mount Vernon to and beyond (he Great falls* A committee of the American Institute of Architects on the conservation oU natural resources—Glenn «rown, WllUam M.

Disque for Warden. APPOINTEE IS 37 YEARS OLD Has Been in Philippines and Is Now on Way to United States to Take New Job in Michigan. Lansing.—Captain Brice P. Disque of the United States army is to be warden of Jackson state prison to succeed Warden Nathan F. Simpson, who has resigned. Captain Disque has already resigned from the army, and is now on the Pacific ocean on his way home from the Philippines, where he has been stationed for some time and where he was formerly in the commissary department and head of one of the military prisons. He is due to arrive in San Francisco December 12. Governor Ferris was the most surprised man in the state when the three members of the board, O. II. L. Wernicke of Grand Hapids; Edward Frensdorf of Hudson, and Frank D. Eaman of Detroit, told him they had agreed on Captain Disque. While the governor had seen in the newspapers and had heard that Captain Disque was being considered by the board, he had not thought until shortly before the announcement that the army man really had a chance. "I had told the board," said the governor, "that when they agreed on a man I would approve his appointment; but I little thought they would agree on a man none of Uiem toad ever seen. When They informed me that he was already on his way home from the Philippines to take the jwsition I had nothing to say, nor was there anything I could do, I do not know Captain Disque, nor, to be frank, do I understand how the board of control has selected him. "We must simply give him a chance, that Is all. I for one, hope that he will make good, for I do not like to see Jackson prison in the condition It now stands, retrograde one hit." There has been no secret of the fact that the governor has been hoping that the board would select Marl T. Murray, secretary of the state board of corrections and charities. At a former conference with the governor, however, Messrs. Wernicke and Frensdorf were opposed to Mr. Murray ynd said so. Mr. Eaman was at that time In favor of Murray. "We felt that it would be hard to find another man who combined army training and practical experience as the head of a prison and a manufacturing plant—so we took Captain Disque," said Frank D. Eaman of Detroit, one of the members of the Jackson prison board of control. "Captain Disque will take charge at Jackson as soon as it is possible for him to get here from Manila, as Warden Simpson is eager to be relieved." Captain Disque became known to Michigan officials tfhen he was detailed as an instructor in the cavalry service with the Michigan National Guard several years ago. Captain Disque, who is thirty-seven years old, enlisted in the ranks in the Forty-seventh United States volunteer Infantry in 18&9 after "he had taken a partial course in law at the University of Cincinnati. by Prof. L.

The automobile license tax during the first year of its operation under a horse power and weight scale will net the state $1,750,000, according to indications now. At the close of business, November 1, in the office of the secretary of state, the sum received since January 1, was $1.72*L222J«). A few licenses still are being sold for the current year at half price. Secretary of State Vaughan figures that the total when the new year's list will he open win be about $1,730.- 000. This is about $900,000 higher Ihaa any of the state officials figured when the Xewell-Smitb law went into operation. Applications for next year'* licenses are coming to apace and the usual jam arotind the holiday* is expected. Mr. Yanghan however, is of the opinion that It wHI be easier to relieve the ceogestJoa this year than it was last. Last year the law was new, and almost every application had to be rechocked here, a s few understood tb* system ef ceospsstfikg horse power and Data* Fixed, tad 48 oar-diy Instfrxes* ws* As fceM 4srlng December, Fruit Growers Organize. The articles of Incorporation have been filed with the secretary of state for the Berrien County Fruit association, with its main office at Coloma. The association is without capital stock, and is a nonprofit corporation. The membership fee is $100 and the money derived from the memberships will be used in the establishment of a central packing house and providing equipment for the same. The object of the association will be to more efficiently market the fruit products of its members. Instead of dividends on shares of stocks, the members will receive a larger share of the consumer's dollar. This is the third fruit association formed in Berrien county within six months. As soon as standard associations are scattered throughout the fruit belt of Michigan an effort will be made to combine the associations into a strong federation which will outline a single definite pedicy for all the local* belonging to the federation. In this way. it is believed, that the fruits will be much more efficiently marketed than is now the case. At the present time there is a great waste because of the competition between rival associations. The new policy will cay for co-operation among farmers so that they will not compete one with another, and cooperation between associations for the same reason. War on Adulterated Vinegar. Action to compel vinegar manufacturers in Michigan to produce pure cider vinegar and to prohibit the manufacture and sale of erne adulterated, cheap variety now sold, is being taken by the state dairy and food depa rrioent. according to a bulletin issued by James W.

"In varlons states outside of Michigan windfall apples are dried in fno- ^ortes,*, the dairy and food conimis- < xloner sayx "The wnstes nf cores, ptelings at*l worms are also dried and shipped to so-called cinegar factories.

S. BOARD SIGNS PROTOCOL If the Protocol la Ratified By the Two Governments the Commission Will Convene Again Dec. ft. The Estimate of $1,250,000,000 includes Nothing for Extensions In. to New Territory. Washington—Railroads will need $1,250,000,000 additional capital annually for the next 10 or 12 years to increase their facilities to handle the country's growing commerce, Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for the railway executive's advisory committee, told the congressional railroad investigating committee that on behalf of the railroads about $250,000,000 a year additional will be required, he said, to refund maturing indebtedness. Tto attract investors, Mr. Thorn suggested that federal regulation should replace the present system of authority divided between the states and the central government. He cited examples of injustice and hampering of railroad financing caused by state control and bond and stock issues by interstate roads. Referring to the need of additional railroad facilities, Mr. Thorn said: "It has been found that the wealth of the countr yhas been increasing eight or nine per cent a year and the same ratio of Increase has held good as to the demand for transportation. For the next 10 or 15 years, at least, the investment in railroad facilities to meet the large requirements of the future must consequently grow at a corresponding annual rate of increase." The estimate of $1,250,000,000 for additional transportation facilities inleudes nothing for extensions into new territory, he added. "Where is this money to come from?" asked Mr. Thom. "Thts problem is one of vital interest to the public because on its successful solution depend the commercial facilities of the country. "Would it do to confront the investor with a situation where the revenues of the railroads are not subject to the control of the Investors, but are governmental authority and by many unco-ordinated state authorities?" RABIES ON THE INCREASE The Disease Is Increasing at a Rather Alarming Rate in Western Counties. Lansing—State live stock officials are much worried at present over the rabies situation. The disease Is increasing at a rather alarming rats among animals of almost aH descriptions in western counties. Is the last few days the deaths of several cattle, horses and dogs have been reported. Quarantines have been declared on all of Kent county and a portion of Ottawa county and all of Clinton county. The majority of the new cases have come from Clinton countr. There seems to be J M indication as to the exact cause of the spread of the disease, according to the state officials, unless the quarantines they have ordered have not been strictly observed. Atlantic City, N. J.—A protocol providing for the conditional withdrawal o fthe American troops now in Chihuahua, Mexico, and for the military control of the border, but with the supplemental stipulation that United States troops shall be sent into Mexico in pursuit of bandits at any time the American -government deems it necessary, was signed here by the members of the Mexican-American joint commission. One of the copies was taken by Alberto J. Pani, of the Mexican commission, who left for New York, whence he will start for Queretaro, where he will submit it to General Carrana for ! his approval. The other copy will be delivered to the American government by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the American commission. If the protocol is ratified by the two governments, the commission will convene again December 8 to resume the discussion of other questions affecting the two counties, especially those related to the protection of the life and property of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico. If ratification by either government is withheld, the work of the conference will be declared at an end. Following is a paraphrase of the agreement: "The American troops now in Chihuahua, commanded by General John J. Pershing, shall be withdrawn within 40 days from the approval of the protocol by the respective governments, provided that within that time the conditions in that part of Mexico have not become such as to endanger the American border. In such even time shall be extended. "2—The Mexican army shall patrol the Mexican side of the border and the American army the American side, but this shall not preclude co-operation between the two forces to preserve peace upen the border. "3—It shall be left to the commanding officers of the armies on the border of both nations to enter into such arrangements for co-operation in operations against bandits whenever it is possible. m •m Q STATE NEWS Urges State Work-Farms. ~ Grand Rapids.—Biehop John Newton McConuick, chairman of the stats' board of correction and charities, a t a meeting of the Builders' and Trades* exchange and the committer of 100 of the Association of Charities, advocated a system of stute,work-farms for men and women prisoners.

Entr'acte. Dawn of Sunday found Whitaker still awake. Alone In his uncheerful bedchamber, his chair tilted back against the wall, be sat smoking and thinking, reviewing again and again every consideration growing out of his matrimonial entanglement. He turned in at length to .the dreamless slumbers of mental exhaustion. The morning Introduced him to a world of newspapers gone mad and garrulous with accounts of the sensation of the preceding night What they told hira only confirmed the history of his wife's career as detailed by the gratuitous Mr. Ember. There was, however, no suggestion in any report that Drummond had not In fact com- .mitted suicide. There had been, apparently, but a single witness of the felo de se, who in the subsequent confusion had vanished. No one dreamed of Questioning the authenticity of the report Several sensational sheets ran exhaustive resumes, elaborately Illustrated, of the public life of "The Destroying AngeL" It seemed to be an ; unanimous assumption that the news of Dromraond'B suicide had in some manner been conveyed to the woman while on the stage. In the course of the forenoon a note for Whitaker was delivered at the hotel. The heavy sheet of white paper, stamped with the address In Fifty-seventh street, bore the message In a strong but nervous hand: X rely upon the generosity you promise ma. This maniac* of oars, that is no marriage, must be dissolved. Please let sny attorneys—Landers, Ctrimshaw * Clark, Hi Broadway—know when and where you win accent service.

Hugh Morten Whitaker, the dead man come to life, occupied public interest for a brief half-day. By the time that the executors of Carter Drummond and the attorneys representing his clients begun to make sense of bis estate and Interests, their discoveries failed to command newspaper space. Drummond had appropriated to his own uses every dollar of the small fortune left In his care by his erstwhile partner. No other client of his had suffered, however. His peculations had been confined wholly to the one quarter whence he had had every reason to anticipate neither protest nor exposure. In Whitaker's too-magnanlraous opinion, the man had not been so much a thief as one who yielded to the temptation to convert to his own needs and uses a property against which, it appeared, no other living being cared to enter a claim. The monetary loss was an '^considerable thing to a man with an interest in mines in the Owen Stanley country. He said nothing. Drummond's name remained untarnished, save in the knowledge of a few. # Of these, Martin Ember was one. Whitaker made a point of hunting him up. The retired detective received confirmation of his surmise wfthout any amazement "You still believe that he's alive?" "Implicitly," Embe'i" asserted with conviction. "Could you find him, If necessary?" "Within a day, I think. Do you wish me to?" Eraber permitted Whitaker to consider the matter In silence for some moments. Then. "Do you want advice?" he inquired. "Welir "Hunt him down and put him behind the bars," said Ember Instantly. "What's the good of that?" "Your personal safety." "How?" "With you out of the way, he could come back without fear." Ember permitted another pause to lengthen, unbroken by Whitaker. "Shall I try to find him for you?" he said quietly, In the end. MNo," Whitaker decided. "No. Let him alone—poor devil I" Ember disclaimed further responsibility with a movement of his shoulders. "But my wife? Could you find her as readily?** "Possibly,'* the detective admitted cautiously. "Bat I don't mean to." "Why not?" "Principally because she doesn't want me to. Otherwise she'd let you know where to look for her." "True.** These fragments of dialogue are from a conversation that took place In the month of June, nearly seven weeks after the farewell performance^ at the Theatre Max. Interim, Whitaker had quietly resumed his place in the life of the town, regaining old friendships, renewing old associations. The mild excitement occasioned by his reappearance had already subsided: he was again on accepted and substantial factor In the society of his kind. Gradually he began to know more hours of loneliness than suited his tastes. His rooms—the ok) rooms overlooking Bryant park regained and refurnished much as they had been six years before—knew his solitary presence through many a long evening. July came with blistering breath and he took to the Adirondack*, meaning" lag. to be gone a month. Within ten days be was home again, drawn back Irresistibly by a strange, Insatiable craving of unformulated desire. Town bored him, yet he could not seem to rest away-from i t He wandered in and out, up and down, an unquiet Irresolute soul, tremendously perplexed. . . • !ame one dark and sultry alght, heavy beneath skies overcast, in Whitaker left a roof-garden In the middle of a stupid pertormance, and walked the streets til! long after midnight, courting the fatigue that atone could bestow untroubled sleep. On his return a sleepy hall-boy with a wtfrted collar ran the elevator up to his ttsrtfrisaf landing; and. taring Mm at the lock- of his door, dropped rtaaklnaiy out of sight. Wife-, ed and shut himself to with the piteh blackness «f sua private hall. He gropud along the wall rur the electric switch, and found only the shank of it, the hard rubber buttuu having disappeared. And then, while still he was trying to think how this could have happened, he susiuliied a murderous assault. A miscalculation on the part of the marauder alone saved him. The black- Juck (or whatever the weapon was) missing his head by the narrowest I shave, descended upon his left shoulder with numbing force. Notwithstanding his pain and surprise, Whitaker rallied and grappled, thus escaping a second and probably more deadly blow. But his shoulder was almost useless, and the pain of It began to sicken him. while the man In his grip fought like u devil unchained. fc'or some minutes the night was rendered wild and violent with the crashes of overthrown furniture and the thud an! thump of struggling bodies. Then Whitaker broke free und plunged In what he imagined to be the direction of a dresser In which lie kept a revolver. His foot slipped on the hardwood floor, the ankle twisted, and he fell awkwardly, striking Id's head against a table leg with such force that he layhalf stunned. An Instant later his ussallant emptied five chambers of a revolver into the darkness about him, and then, alarmed by a racket of pounding on the hull door, fled successfully by way of tho tire escape to adjoining roofs and neighboring backyards. By the time Whitaker was able to pull himself together and hobble to the door, a brace of Intelligent policemen, who had been summoned by the hallboy, were threatening to break it down. Admitted, they took his safety into their care and, simultaneously, the revolver which he Incautiously admitted possessing. Later they departed, obviously disgruntled by the unprofessional conduct of the "crook" who had left no "clues," with a warning to the householder that he might expect to he summoned to court, as soon as lie was able to move, to answer for the crime of keeping a weapon of defense. Whitaker took to his bed In company with a black temper and the nronia of arnica. He entertained, the next day, several persons: reporters; a physician; a futile, superfluous, unornamental creature misleadlngly designated a plainclothes man; finally his friend (by now their acquaintance had warmed to real friendship) Ember. The retired Investigntor found Whitaker getting into his clothes—o ceremony distinguished by some profanity and numerous grunts. "Afternoon," he said, taking a chair and surveying the sufferer with slightly masked amusement. "Having u good time?" "You go to thunder!" said Whit iker In disgust "Glad to see you're not hurt much,' pursued the other, unabashed. Whitaker withered him with n gin re. "You're lucky to be alive," observed Ember, exasperatlngly philosophic. "A lot you know about It! i suppose you could lay <«hls thug by the heels In a brace of shakes?" "Just about," Ember admitted placidly. HAVE A FAD OF YOUR OWN Everyone Needs Something to Bring Thoughts Different From Those of the Work-a-Day World.

In granting a water-power concession on the Santa river to nn electric power company, the government of Peru has reserved the right to take over the plant. If ever such a course seems advisable, reimbursing those who huve put their money Into i t As the situation Is explained, the water power represents public wealth which some day the state may need; but meantime, In order that It may not be wasted, the use of It by a private company Is permitted. The Peruvians might doubtless hasten the in- , duKtrializatlon of their country If they adopted a free concession policy; but they have learned from Mexico. And they might win quick prosperity If they heeded the objections of financiers to the Idea of government Interference; Irat they have learned from the United States. So they are building, and plainly with success, on the doctrine of expropriation.—Christian Science Monitor. Earthquake Caused Changes. An effect of the Nevada earthquake of the last quarter of 1915 has been an Increase to three or four times the former amount in the flow of streams and springs throughout the northern part of the state. Observers have pronounced this earthquake more violent than the one that caused such disaster In San Francisco In 1906, but In the thinly settled region the damage was small. Beginning October 2, there were mo.e than fi(X> shocks within three moMbs. The most notable mark of the disturbance has been left on the east side of Pleasant valley, where the alluvial detritus'-at the base of the Sonoma range has settled away for a vertical height of 5 to 12 ferf and a horizontal width of 8 feet over a distance of nearly 25 "niles.

He looked at the wounded wing, then acratched his head a moment, and then waa oft* to the cabin on a run, shutting the stable door behind him. When he returned he went to work with bandages. He may not hare been much of a surgeon or a bone* setter, but what he lacked In skill he made up in good Intentions. Meanwhile his enthusiasm regard* ing the Thanksgiving feast rather oozed away from him. "If it's all the he said that night, 'Cautious Knock on ' the Cabin Poor. i«ame to you, ma," !*Td a-just as soon have bacon fer dinger tomorrow." - "All right, sonny," the mother laughed and agreed. And that is how Yank became a member of the Scott family. Ftor Yank he was named. To Southern partisans it was a term of opprobrium. but to Bob a term of affection—so everybody was satisfied. By good financiering in the spring Mrs. Scott was able to add a small flock of fowls to the Scott pot sessions, Including some turkeys. With these Yank mingled, not without a tinge of condescension. He never did recover the use of that wing, but he could run like a dog, using the good left wing as a plane now and then to lift him to ithe top of a feace. If Olive Chanute. the inventor of the aeroplane, had seen Tank, we mlgtit have had that invention ajaalf century before we did. jZSaak showed no disposition to leave -fte Scott place, seeming to prefer the good corn to woodland pickings. It was seldom that any word or mjnor trickled through from Bob's fntfcer, and then there was a silence of that left the Scott household tedeed. The sympathies j s c t h s aetgfcbors were Southern; but; lit'It w e l d e d to their credit, they treated <fce Scotta with just as much as If 41» head of the family st M a i SMo ft* Colon army. But Hi* gSMSSOass bsgsji to spsrate A .^ •iiie's sympathies. One nioruing, just at the break of dawn, there WHS a cautious knock on the cabin door. Trembling with apprehension, the family roused itself. The latch lifted, but the man who entered WHS clothed in blue. Bob could scarcely believe that this red-bearded man was his father. His story wus short and soon told. He had been wounded and separated from his regiment. When be recovered, he was assigned, quite willingly, to a detail to round up the guerrillas; and, as he was familiar with the vicinity he was now scouting on their trail. He was to lie quiet that day, gathering such information as he could, and return to his comrades that night. **! tell you, pop," cried Bob, T U go down below and see what I can see and let you know 1" It appealed to the boy's desire for adventure and to the soldier's desire for information. So, after some reluctance and many cautions, the bey was allowed to go. To divert suspicion, for the turkey would attract more attention than the boy, Yank was permitted to accompany him. The boy and the bird were familiar figures in the neighborhood. Three miles from home a voice laughed, "Here's a turk fer your dinner, captain," and Bob found he had walked Into a hornets* nest. Xhey took the two to a cabin a little back from the pike and asked the boy a few questions, without gaining any information. Nor did he loose his hold on Yank, though the bird struggled to be free. A black*browed giant entered. "There's a Yank up on the ridge In a cabin thar, and a hundred of 'em yonder on the tother side." "Y o u fellahs make a ridw for it jft sundown," Raid' he captain, "and irrnb tliat Yank. They ore the fellahs that hung Jed Speed. We'll have a little hangin' party ourselves.** .

There was a squawk and a flutter, a man at the door was nearly knocked from his feet, and a feathered thing that half ran and half flew made for the pike and tht woods beyond. "He got away !• "Thar goes your dinner, captain," -and a half-dozen shots all came at the same instant As for the boy, he poured outdoors with the rest and plunged into the woods back of the cabin. Two hours later a turkey, both of whose wings drooped now, the left one stained with blood, fluttered into the Scott clearing. To go to the boy was the father's first thought, to go for help the second and setter one. It was a bit risky, but over the ridge he went and down the mountainside. Bob circled and crossed the pike a mile above. On a white stone by the road be saw a drop of red. "IftfL, they hit him but didn't fit him," he said. That evening, Just as the sun dipped to the West, there was another hornets' nest on the ridge. But this time It was the enemy that walked into It There was time for only a few shots. But the guerrilla captain heard them in the valley* below and decided that it would be well to move on, leaving his missing men to join him as best they could. But they never did. Next night, 20 miles away, the captain turned to one of his men and asked: •Do you reckon.that fool bird had anything to do with itT" As for Yank, the battle-scarred veteran, what was one wing more or less? He lived to see peace return to the mountains, and to all Tennessee, and to the nation. And you may be sure he never played the principal part in any Thanksgiving dinner. (Copyrtrht. m e .

TEUTONS ARE NEAR CRAIOVA Rumanian Armie« In the Transylvanian Alps in Danger 6f Being Cut Off From Their Native Country. LonSon—Field Marshal von Palkenhayn' 8 "btcain roller," *>weepiug down into n o r t h w e s t e r n R u m a n i a toward Bucharest, made further important headway according to s t a t e m e n t s by the Berlin war office, which, in t h e essential point, is corroborated officially by" Petrograd. "In the valley of tb.3 river Jiul," said the Car's war office, "the R u m a n i a n s , under the pressure of superior forces, still c o n t i n u e to retire to the southward." "Our troops," Britain reported, "are approaching Craiova, capital of the western W a ' l a c h i a . " It is this city for the possession of which all the furious battles of the last few weeks have been fought in the Jiul valley and for the drive against which the Teuton c o m m a n d e r has asked and received reinforcements which were denied the crown prince at Verdun. Craiova, situated a little to the east of the Jiul river, is the most important strategic railway intersection in western Rumania. It lies less than H o miles west of Bucharest. It is the converging point of four railroads. The c a p t u r e of Craiova ai;d th>> subsequent Teuton control of the railway communications in four directions would threaten the entire Rumanian armies in the Transylvanian Alps with being cut off from all connection with the interior of their native country and with a flanking attack on a large scale from Ihe south and east. Such is the outlook of the Rumanian situation as revealed by the official reports from both side^—an outlook which military critics here admitted to be even more ominous than had been looked for by pessimists. GIRL MAKES 590 MILE AIR TRIP Also Sets Record for U. S. Distance, Lands Covered With Ice. Binghamton. N. V. - R u t h Bancroft Law broke the American cross-country non-stop record in her a t t e m p t e d sunriee- to-sunset aeroplane flight from Chicago to New York. Driving her antiquated Curtis t h r o u g l r a 45-mile gale, she flew from Chicago to Hornell, 590 miles, (air line) in 8 hours and 55 minutes. She thus captured the brief honors held by Victor Carlstrom, who, on November 2, flew from Chicago to Erie Pa.. 452 miles, in an a t t e m p t similar to that made by Miss Law. Thrice she flew straight into the face of death and didn't quiver. She landed at Hornell because she had used all the gasoline in t h e tanks. Had her supply of fuel lasted, it is likely the nervy girl would have clung to her levers until her goal had been reached. She had hoped to make Governors' Island. She made h e r first slop on the snowquilted acres of the Hornell fair grounds. She fell r a t h e r than stepped out of her leather seat, A mask of ice glazed her face. Her eyes were fixed like t h o s e of a marionette. H e r arms remained at right angles as though she Mad not yet let go the wheel. It was several minutes before she could *-alk erect or talk connectedly. DEUTSCHLAND IS LIBELED O w n e r s of Boat Sunk In Crash File Suit Against U-Trader. New London.

For u long time the cause was veiled in obscurity. It might he at tnaccessihlepm, or it might be the helpless discrepancy betwixt the heavenly kingdom and tl is world, or it niitfht be i> plain case of colic, called by what newfangled term you please. It has remained for George R. Hotchklss of the University School of Commerce, addressing editors and publishers of trade journals in New York, to discover that the baby cries in order to advertise. It is the baby's effective announcement, in the imperative mood, that lie wants to be taken up and petted, or he wants the moon, or he wants something else, nno "he won't be happy till he gets it." There is no denying that for an infant industry the baby's advertising is a great success. Nearly every time he gets results, nnd the most astute and alert professional solicitor cannot show a higher percentage of success. )0 IT NOW, GOOD WATCHWORD -labit of Procrastination Has Never Yet Failed to Bring Train of Evils in Its Wake. "Sometime" is a useful w c n l ttuit Is •fteij overworUcd, remarks the Milwaukee -Journal. One says.

Sometime is no time when a definite tusk is to be done A thing put off beyond Its rightful time encroaches on time ullotted by right to other duties. One may think he is gaining time by postponing the duty of the hour. In fact, he is wasting time. "Tomorrow" and ever "tomorrow" has been the ruin of many. Do now the thing thatshoubl be done now. Have you had a quarrel, and are >v.u ready for a reconciliation? Do not postpone it. The other person may get hardened in his views and become unwilling t( be reconciled. He may die and leave to you a lasting regret that you had not made friends. Would you help someone? Do not wait till help is past being help, r u t off till "tomorrow" mending the fence, and your neighbor's cattle will have found the weak place and made havoc with your grain. I'ut off paying your insurance, uhd perhaps a fire will destroy alt you have. Debts do r.otgrow less by postponing payment. "Do it now" is a good watchword.

YEARLY BUSINESS $1,500,000 Warden Simpson Recommends That Capacity of Twine Plant Be Increased and Other Activities Undertaken. sary, will simply be adding more to the load the stare iuay have to curry." The legislature of 1915, for all purposes, practically appropriated $14,- OOO.OUO, exclusive uf deficiencies it had to make up. The $14,000,0011 figure was the general running of everything connected with the state for the last two years, including the special appropriations for some of the institution*. Lansing.—Jackson prison is now doing a business of $1,500,000 yearly, according to the biennial report of Warden X. F. .Simpson, who will soon retire as head of the institution. During two years the institution has increased its assets $'J00\20C. The prison farms show an increased valuation of $S7,0S3 for [lie period ending June 30, VJltL f hi his recommendations for improvements .Mi-. Simpson urges the remodeling of the east-end cell block, the construction of another warehouse mid providing for railroad sidetrack facilities and drainage of the Lowden farm. The warden also recommends that the convicts construct houses to be sold to private individuals. The warden would increase the capacity of the twine plant from li.\0O0,- 000 to 15,000,000 pounds a year. A total of 'J.137 acres of land is now under cultivation. Five hundred and seventy-one new Inmates were received in the two years, 0G2 were paroled and 101 violated their paroles. No money has been drawn from the state treasury for current expenses by the prison during the period. Object to Hospital Charges. Resentment among state officials against tlit* I niversity hospital at Ann Arbor crystuli/.ed when Superintendent of Instruction Fred L. Keeler was authorized by the state board of auditors to take up with the board of regents of the Fniversity of Michigan some of the bills that the hospital lias been charging other state institutions. The specific instance which cadsed the matter to come to a head was [he bill rendered the state public school at Cold water by the hospital for the treatment of a four-year-old boy named Lester Ford. This bill totalled more than $,'>00, and Superintendent J. 1>. Montgomery of the Coldwater institution, insisted that it should be cut in two. This Superintendent Greves of the hospital refused to do and Mr. Montgomery, in referring the bill to the board of state auditors, sent the correspondence along. Several months ago Auditor General Fuller, who has to approve all bills rendered by the hospital for children sent from various counties under the law for indigents, complained that the hospital was charging top notch prices and that the state was really paying retail prices for treatment there, whereas by the nature of the cases, it should be given actual cost rates. Objections of Mr. Fuller were met by officers of the institution with a straight denial. They insisted the state was not being charged too much, not even as much as the private patients were charged. Predicts Prices Will Soar. "Meat will be selling at the highest prices in history before the winter is over," said J. N. McBride, state markets director. "Small pigs are already being put on the market in large numbers and this means that the supply of grown sgjWc will be greatly reduced. Farmerir%re anxious to get rid of their stock, young and old, because of the shortage and high prices of foodstuffs. "The shortage of meat is a great problem, but there is far greater shortage in other food products. Cheap vegetables are extremely scarce. The potato crop is so limited that we now find five buyers in Michigan to one in former years. This nieuns a serious shortage before the winter is over. "Our great problem now Is to make the farmer realize that it is absolutely essential to keep a good supply of seed for planting next spring, otherwise we are bound to have a si ill greater shortage next year. Every farmer should set aside at least five bushels of seed potatoes. "I recommend that people start right now to boil potatoes with the skins, as is being done in Germany and other countries where there is a shortage of food products. We must conserve our supply if we are to overt a food famine in 1917." Fuller Pleads For Economy. "Please tell the legislature to pare all special appropriations to the bone. Keep thera down to the minimum, the absolute necessities." 'Such will be the message of Auditor General O. B. Fuller to Governor Ferris and Governor-elect Sleeper, the former for use in his exaugural and the latter in h's inaugural address to the incoming legislature. Mr. Fuller has shouted for economy in the state affairs in the past, but this time he expects to make an exceptionally strong request to the legislature through the executive office, not to run wild when it comes to special appropriations. The regular appropriations for the current expenses of the state government end the current expenses and maintenance of the various state institutions, will go up by leaps and bound*. In order to keep everything In the limit, Mr. Fuller wnnts the specials to be dropped a s far as possible. While it is true that the state today has in its general fund about $2,« 000.000 more than tt had a t the sometime previous to the opening of the .1913 'legislature, all Indication*- ore thnt^tfce expenses of the state government are going to be much higher^.. . \ "I have not received the estinrirteS Boy Farmer Makes Big Profit. Verner Felt, an upper peninsula youth, has just been awarded the state potato-growing championship by the boys and girls' club department of M. A. C. Uy raising 4()2.6 bushels of potatoes on an acre of ground, the prize winner cleared a net profit of $50H.30, or something like 500 per cent on hU original investment of capital and labor. Efficient agricultural methods, which gave him a record crop in a year when his neighbors were suffering from the drought, explain the success of Verner, whose home Is at the National mine, in Marquette county. Verner's record was made In competition with several thousand boys and girls throughout the state. Each year the boys and girls' club department of M. A. C. through juvenile clubs organized In every part of the state, induces young people to plant an acre of ground to some crop, such as potatoes, corn, or beans. Then each fall, when the crops are harvested, the records of each of the boys nnd girls who competed are gathered by the clubs' headquarters at M. A. C. and the winners are picked on the socalled four-point basis, which takes into consideration the quality of the crop, yield, profit and report, and the story of the project, The upper peninsula boy scored an average of 93 points. In growing this crop, Verner employed the Intensive methods which the club department of M. A. C. outlines for the small plots cultivated. Other winners and the yields of their plots, were: Matie Franz. Loretta, Dickinson county, 332 bushels; Clyde Manitn, Tnpioln, Houghton county, 301 bushels; Richard Grangood, Tapiola, Houghton county, 280.6 bushels; Cleo Farm, National IMne, Marquette county, 277.1 bushels; Edward Nelson, National Mine, Marquette county, 27R.9 bushels; Welkko Lukkarinen, Palmer, Marquette county, 256 bushels; Howard LaFmnce, Morsey, Osceola county, 252 bushels; William Skog, Metropolitan, Dickinson county, 250 bushel*, and Joseph Dziedzic, Loretta. Dickinson county. Most of the prize winners were upper peninsula boys for the reason that unfavorable conditions were more pronounced Inst summer in southern Michigan than they wore in the country north of the straits. staggered m e ' s o m e w h a t A certain State hospital gave the money, needed -•%& potatoes alone*'or the nm^Sar JlgQyOOO more than what tt has beeR-eKfgh the population of the institu- * I will ask both Governor Ferris anil Accuses Bean Buyers.

VAST WAR SUPPLIES SHIPPED TO ALLIES PORT OF NEW YORK SAID TO HAVE" SHIPPED $270,000,000 W O R T H . TEUTONS RAGE AT EXPORTS ALLIES CAPTURE MONASTIR Serbian Colors—Red, Blue and White Again Flutter Over Monaster's Governmental Buildings. United States Virtually Making Half of Ammunition Used By British and French. Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, N. hand grenades and shells amounted to $70,000,000, smokeless powder to $70,- 000,000 and various items of ammunition $10,000,000, a total of $150,000,000. "In addition, the invoices include war and destructive tools, directed against Germany, to the value of many millions more. This statement includes statistics from Philadelphia, Boston, Newport News and Bridgeport." To the mind of the average layman in Germany, who is often the soldier in the trenches, this supply of Y.—Few things have made a deeper impression on German opinion than the publication in the Lokal Anr.elger of statistics purporting to prove that the United States is furnishing virtually half the ammunition discharged by the French and English against the Teutonic forces. "The supply of war materials furnished by the United States to the enemies of Germany is daily taking on larger proportions and is now 50 per cent of the value of the total exports from the port of New York, which represents half the total American exports, all ports, of war materials," says the newspaper. "The total of half the New York exports, according to September customs figures, made in the declarations, is $270,000,000. Of these explosives, death-dealing instruments to the enemies of Germany is the crux of the whole situation. The Teutonic mind cannot understand why a "neutral" nation continues to supply half of the Instruments to enable one set of belligerents to continue the war. RACING CAR KILLS FOUR London—Monastir has fallen to the Allies. To the strains of the Serbian national hymn, the remnant of King Peter's army marched through the ahell-rlddled gates of the Macedonian city, whence a year ago they fled In panic and hunger before the great Teuton-Bulgarian steam roller. At the head of th*e victorious troops rode Crown Prince Alexander, rejuvenator of the little Balkan kingdom's aoldiers, and side by side with them marched French regiments, with whose aid this first great step toword the reconquegt of Serbia was accomplished. Here and there in the long line of the triumphal march a row of Muscovite "tchakos" towered above the helmets of steel. Their owners were members of the Russian contingent, which also co-operated in the encirclement of the great Bulgarian stronghold. A few minutes after the first battalions had entered, the Serbian colors— red, blue and white—once moro fluttered from the mast tops on Monastics governmental and municipal buildings. The French war office was the first to tell the news of the great success. It was flashed broadcast by telegraph and radio and a few hours later massages from all Entente capitals told of unbounded Jubilation. "Troops of the army of the Orient," said the French official announcement, "entered Monastir on the anniversary of the taking of the town by the Serbians in 1912." Word came from Berlin that the German war office had conceded the loss of the Macedonian base. "The Sucker" List When the Post Office authorities "pulled" t he Standard Securities Co., in New York, awhile ago, among a wagon-load of "literature" telling how to make a budding dollar blossom into many thousands quickly, was found a list of 100,000 names of people who have bought or might be induced to buy get-rlch-quick stocks. The inspectors call thia the most valuable "sucker llaV*" In existence. The Standard Co. actually sold more than $2,000,000.00 worth of their worthless stock to the public.

What 1« love, anyhow? It It, In t h e cass of huaband and wife, respect and admiration of certain spiritual qualities? Or, In your experience, is It pure physical attraction between a certain man and a certain woman—with respect and admiration as side lights? Do you believe that an Intelligent woman would love enough to live with him, the man who years previously had married her just to save her good name a s a girl and then had disappeared? That Is the problem confronting Sara Law, the great actress, in "The Destroying Angel." Hugh Whitaker, you remember, w a s given just six months to five, by eminent surgeons. He discovered a decent young woman in trouble—her honor at stake. "One good deed before I go," he said; "I'll marry this frightened child, and give her my respectable name. Then I'll go off somewhere and wait for the end." This he did and five years later turned up In New York from Australia, prosperous and healthy, and started a hunt for the girl-wife of other days. He discovers her In Sara Law, and mutual recognition across the footlights stops a play. Martin Ember, former detective, comee to Whitaker and tells amazing facts. A big mystery looms in this Installment CHAPTER VII—Continued. "And you found her and told Drumtoond— ?" Whitaker leaned over the table, studying the man's face with Intense Interest "No— and yes. I found Mrs. Whitaker. I didn't report to Drummond." "But why—In heaven's name?" Ember smiled somberly at the droop* Ing ash of his cigar. "There were several reasons. In the first place 1 didn't have to: I had asked no retainer from Drummond, and I rendered no bill: what I had found out was mine, to keep or to sell, as I chose. I chose not to sell because—well, because Mrs. Whitaker begged me not to." "Ah!" Whitaker breathed, sitting back. "Why?" "This was all of a year, I think, after your raarrlnge. Mrs. Whitaker had tasted the sweets of Independence and—got the habit She had adopted a profession looked upon with abhorrence by her family. She was already successful in a small way, had little need of the money she would get as claimant of your estate. She enlisted my sympathy, and—I held my tongue." "Thnt wus decent of you." The man bowed a quiet acknowledgm e n t Ml thought you'd think so. . . . There was a third reason." He paused, until Whitaker encouraged him with a "Yes— T "Mr. Whitaker"—the query came polnt-blnnk—"do you love your wife?" Whitaker caught his breath. "What Hght— 1" he began, and checked abruptly. The blood darkened his lean cheeks. "Mrs. Whitaker gave me to understand lhat you didn't. It wasn't hard to perceive, everything considered, that your motive was pure chivalry—quixotism. I should like to go to my grave with anything half a s honorable and unselfish to my credit" "I beg your pardon," Whitaker muttered thickly. "You don't then?" "Love her? No." There was a slight pause. Then, "1 rio," said this extraordinary man, meeting Will taker's gaze openly. "I do," be repeated, flushing in his turn, "but . . . hopelessly . . . However, that was the third reason," he pursued in a more level voice—"I thought you ought to know about it—that induced me to keep Sara Law's secret . . . I loved her from the day I found her. She has never looked twice a t me. . . , But that's why I never lost interest." "You mean," Whitaker took him up diffidently—"you continued to—ah—If* "Court her—as we say? No." Ember's shoulders, lifting, emphasized the disclaimer. T m no foot I have bad the sense not to invite the thunderbolt She doesn't know it, unless Max told her against my wish; but It was I who induced him to bring her before the public four years ago, as Joan Thursday. Since then her destiny has been rather too big a thing for me to tamper with; but Tve watched and wondered, sensing forces a t work about her of which even s h e w a s unsuspicious." "What in blazes do you m e a n T Whitaker demanded, mystified. "Did it strike you to wonder at the extraordinary mob her farewell performance attracted tonight?" "Why—yes. It struck mo a s rather unusual. B u t then, Max had done but tell me of her tremendous alone, great a s ft Is, wouldn't ugbt s o many people together at the outside of a theater. The magnet was something stronger— the morbid 'curiosity of S e w York. Those people were waiting, thrilled wtta expectancy, on tiptoe for the sens f f a e that presently came t o them: the report of DrummomTs death.*' * "What the d e v i l — r "Patience t This U the third time tt h a s happened—the same thing,'pre*- t k a U j . 8ara Seigi en- the verge o f leaving the stage to marry, a fatal accident intervening. Did Max by any chance mention the nickname New York has bestowed on Sara Law?" "Nickname? N o ! " "They call her T h e Destroying Angel' " "What rot!" "Yes; but what coincidence. Three men loved her—and one by one tbey died. And now the fourth. Do you wonder . . .?" "Oh, but—The Destroying Angel'— I" Whitaker cried Indignantly. "How can they blame her?" "It Isn't blame—It's superstition, Listen . . ." Ember bent forward, holding Whltaker's gaze with intent grave eyes. ' T h e first time," he said In a rapid undertone, "was a year or so after her triumph as Joan Thursday. There were then two men openly Infatuated with her, a boy named Custer, and a man I believe you knew—William Hamilton." "I knew them both." "Custer w a s making the pace; the announcement of his engagement to Sara Law was confidently anticipated. He died suddenly; the coroner's Jury decided that he had misjudged the intentions of a loaded revolver. People whispered a sirtdde, but It didn't look quite like that to me. However . . . Hamilton stepped Into his place. Presently we heard that Sara Law was to marry him and leave the stage. Hamilton had to go abroad on business; on the return trip—the wedding was set for the day after he landed here—he disappeared, no one knew how. Presumably he fell overboard by accident one night; sane men with everything in the world to live for do such things, yoa know—according to the newspapers." "1 understand you. Please go on." "Approximately eighteen months later a-raan named Thurston—Mitchell Thurston—was considered a dangerous aspirant for the hand of Sara Law. He w a s exceedingly well fixed in a money way—a sort of dilettantish architect with offices in the Metropolitan tower. One day at high noon he left his desk to $o to lunch at Martin's; crossing Madison square, he suddenly fell dead, with a bullet in his brain. It was a rifle bullet but though the square was crowded, no one had heard the report of the shot, and no one was seen carrying a rifle. The conclusion was that he had been shot by somebody using a gun with a Maxim silencer, from a window on the south side of t h e square. There were no dues." "And now Drummond !M Whitaker exclaimed in horror. "Poor fellow! Poor woman P A slightly sardonic expression modified the lines of Ember's mouth. "So far a s Mrs. Whitaker Is concerned," he said with the somewhat pedantic mode of speech which Whitaker was to learn to associate with his moments of most serious concentration—"I echo the sentiment B u t let u s suspend judgment on Drummond's case until we know more. It is not as yet an established fact that b e Is dead." "You mean there's hope— ** "There's doubt" Ember corrected acidly—"doubt at least, in my mind. You see, I saw Drummond in the flesh, alive and vigorous, a good half hour after h e Is reported to have leaped t o his death." " W h e r e r "Coming up the stairs from t h e downtown subway station in front of the Park Avenue hotel. He wore a hat pulled down over his eyes and a s old overcoat buttoned tight up to h i t chin. He was carrying a satchel bearing the Initials G. S. D„ but was otherwise pretty thoroughly disguised, and, I fancied, anxious enough to escape recognition." "You're positive about t h l s f "The man was Garter S. Drummond. I don*t think I can be mistaken." . "Which way did b e go r , "Toward the Pennsylvania statloft, 1 Canty; that is, lie turned west through Thtrty-ihird s t r w i . 1 didn't follow—I was getting into tuxl when 1 caught sight of him." **But what did you think to see him disguised? Didn't U strike you as curious?" "Very," said Ember dryly. -At the same time, it was none of my affair— then. Nor did it present itself to rue as a matter worth meddling with until. later, my suspicions were urouned t>y the scene in the theater—obviously the result of your app*tin:rice there—and still later, when I heard the suicide report" "But—" Whitaker passed a hand across his dazed eyes. "What can It mean? Why should he do this thing?" 'There are several possible explanations. . . . How long has Drummond known that you are alive?" "Since noon today." "May I ask, wh:it was the extent of your property in his trust?" "A couple of hundred thousands." "And he believed you dead and was unable to find your widow . . ." "Oh, I don't think that I" Whitaker expostulated. "Nor do L We're merely "considering possible explanations. There's a third . . ." "Well?" "He may have received a strong hint that he w a s nominated for the fate that overtook young Custer, Hamilton and Thurston; and so'planned to give his disappearance the color of a similar end." "You don't mean to say you think there was any method in that train of tragedies?" "I'm not In the least superstitious. my dear man. I don't for nn instant believe, as some people claim to, that Sara Law Is a destroying angel, hounded by a tragic fate: that her love Is equivalent to the death wurrunt of the man who wins It." "But what do you think, then?" "1 think," said timber slowly, Ms gaze on the table, "that someone with a very strong Interest in keeping the young woman single—and on the stage—" "Max! Impossible!" Ember shrugged. "In human nature no madness Is impossible. There's nor a shred of evidence against Jules Max. And yet—he's a gambler. All theatrical managers are, of course; but Mux Is a card-fiend. The tale of his plunging runs like wlldflre up and down Broadway, day by day. A dozen times he's been on the verge of ruin, yot always he has hud Sara Law to rely upon; always he's been able to fall back upon that a s s e t sure that her popularity would stave off bankruptcy. And he's superstitious: he believes she Is his m a s c o t I don't accuse liiin —I suspect him, knowing him to he capable of many weird extravagances. . . . Furthermore, it's a fact that Max was a fellow-passenger with Billy EXIST IN PRIMITIVE EASE Pueblo Indians Live In Exactl> the Same Manner as Have Genera' tions of Ancestors. Perhaps the most unique settlement In the United States Is the Pueblo iudlan village, located In Arizona, observes the Christian Herald. This vIU lage comprises 1.500 peaceable Indians, whose sole and almost only aim In life is to secure a livelihood a s easily a s possible. This settlement is located In the hottest section of the state, but the excessive heat i s not uncomfortable to these people, whose ancestors have lived In that desert section for unnumbered generations. Wnstes of burning sand stretch for miles and miles on every side of tills village, . A peculiar thing about this people Is that they have two distinct villages. The summer village i s located upon the floor of the valley, where the Pueblos occupy themselves In agriculture. The produce they raise, over what they need to e a t during these hot months. Is stored away for winter use. There are only a few places In that section of the d e s e r t where water Is obtainable, and In these places the Pueblos pursue their primitive agriculture. Seasons come and seasons go, but as each goes by it sees these people living as they did during the preceding one. Since the white man first knew of this colony, which w a s back In the sixteenth century, the habits of this tribe have-not changed. They eat the same kind of food, do the same sort of funcy work and live Just as did their ancestor*. Bo far as is known to historians, this ts the oldest colony of any kind in this country.

Kinber paused and sat up, preparatory to rising. "All of which," he concluded, "explains why 1 have trespassed upon your patience and your privacy. It heetned only right that you Khould get the straight uiidistorred story from an unprejudiced onlooker. May 1 venture to add a word of advice ?'' "By all means.** **Have you told Max of your relations with Sara Law?" -No." "Or anybody else?" "No." "Then keep the truth to yourself—at "They Call until Her 'The Destroying Angel.'

"I presume so." ".lust the same, keep It as quiet a s possible until the divorce is granted. If you live till then . . . y«u may possibly continue to live thereafter." What is your opinion of this Drummond suicide report? Do you believe the man it dead—If he isn't, why the effort to create the suicide impression? Is Drummond a thief or a madman?

IT is Just 51 years since the last Thursday in {November wits adopted by the president of the United States as th0 day set apart from »11 others of the year to be ohserved by the people of the nation as Thanksgiving day. It jrafl the first Thanksgiving celebrated, filter the close of the Civil war, and the proclamation by President Johnson a few weeks prior, appointing such K date, was issued because it was a generally understood fact that Lincoln had planned, during the dark days at the end of the struggle, to have some One day in November reserved yearly by all states In the Union. Throughout the war the celebration Had occurred only here and there In scattered communities. And always before, in the various states which did celebrate the day, it was purely a sectional affair, for which the governor issued a proclamation upon his own initiative. November, 1865, witnessed the beginning of the holiday as a national Institution. Since that date the governors of all states and territories, upon receiving the president's proclamation, publish their own. naming the day in formal fashion. It is an American festival day, unique in more than one respect, but most perhaps because it is the only religious festival celebrated in this country upon the recommendation of the government. Idea Borrowed From the Dutch. It had n tangled beginning. A score of origins are claimed. And on.-1 •> rather at sen in selecting his particular belief. In the congressional ibrary it was a happy chance whic-h discovered these various sources and their grave and gay histories outlined in a chain of sketches. In the middle Plates the day is <..";> s e r v e d more a s a relicious matter t.h;)n lafl a holiday, bnt in Xew England it * * festival, a domestic feast day and the chief of all holidays. Americans 'ike t o believe that Thanksgiving day »s purely «nd Simply American, and it is. t a t MM Instituted in Xew England the idea was borrowed from the Dutch, -among whom tb<» Pilgrims had dwelt -for ten years after iotn ;np British so"!! und before emigrating to America. The Hollanders hnd been accustomed to celebrating October 3 both#religiously and socially, in lienor of their deliverance from the Spaniards, and when the first harvest in the new home Of the Enslish emigrants had yielded well it seemed the natural thing to rejoice in A period of pnhlie thanksgiving. Some deferred Indian huts stored tviih envn had furnished the nucleus of thai harvest, mid an Indian chief who had .>iiee been in England and consequently trusted Englishmen gave the i'ilLTinis instruction as to the planting of the -rain nnd the procuring of game ITS well. Upon this first harvest rested the wellbeing of the little colony, so many of whose members had perished in that first fierce winter which followed the landing of the Mayflower in December, 1620. The hardiest, who survived, were humbly grateful for the rich harvest in October, which followed the neighborly native's - suggestions and Governor Bradford ordered a ihree-day feaRt and celebration as recognition of such plenitude. • The Indians who had first extended the hand of welcome to the pale faces there were invited to attend and bring their friends. New Thanksgiving Foods. In Holland the settlers had partaken of Spanish stew as' the common dish of the Thanksgiving day, but in a new country, with new foods to use, geese, turkeys, water fowl and ducks were eaten. Bread made of barley and corn took the place of wheat bread, as a necessity,, and codfish had its first inning as a matter of both history and gastronomy among white people. The guests of the forest brought deer as a friendly contribution toward the feast. And this is presumed by many persons to be the first real Thanksgiving day in America. Yet, since there was no»special religious service -,:pon this occasion, recognized authorities disclaim this theory of the origin. Rather, they point to July 30. 1623, when Miles Standish returned from a voyage with sadly needed provisions and the glad tidings that a ship was nearing the shore. When this ship, the Anne, had anchored, and relatives and friends necessarily left behind in Holland because the Mayflower could not accommodate all those seeking religious freedom in the new world, hnd joined the little colony at Plymouth, the colonists were so overjoyed that a public s o r v i c of prayer and thanksgivir considered meet. This, holding ODih religious and social elements, is in the minds of New linglanders, the basis of the national celebration today. Long Time Between Celebrations. But two centuries and a half elapsed before the nation us a unit followed the early example. • Local celebrations throughout Massachusetts became common meanwhile, and in 1630 a public Thanksgiving day was held in Boston by the Bay colony, though the first*written record of such a day still remaining in the colonial records of the Bay state credits February 22, 1631. This had been appointed as a fast day by Governor Winthrop on account of the severe reverses with which the colony had met. The weather had been unusually cold the entire winter, game was scarce and the Lyon, which had been dispatched to England for food, was given up as lost on the high seas. The children had come to digging mussels out of the frozen ground as help in sustaining life, and finally five kernels of corn were given out as the dally ration of each colonist The fast day appointed then was not merely, for abstinence from food, for that was practically Imperative anyway, but it was to be a special day of supplication for food and greater comfort. A day or two before the appointed time the longlooked- for Lyon came sailing into the harbor laden with provisions and the fast day became a feast day instead. .1 i e ; ! < p o . n:e - " : t . ful -.f s - ^ . - r . \ M i : - : . j,];1...

A common trick of the liquor advocates is to claim t h a t prohibition promotes pauperism. In order to prove this they select a few southern states, where conditions a r e very different from thdse in New England, und contrast them with Maine. As a m a t t e r of fact United S t a t e s census reports show thut Maine h a s fewer p a u p e r s in her almshouses in proportion to her population t h a n any other New England s t a t e except Vermont. Maine h a s 127 per 100,000 population. New Hampshire h a s 230 per 100,000. Business. ' The s t a t e m e n t is sometimes m a d e t h a t prohibition injures business and drives away capital. But in t h e t e n years covered by the last census ret u r n s while t h e great manufacturing state of Massachusetts increased the amount of capital i n v e s t e d j n manufactures, 63.95 per cent, t h e prohibition state of Maine showed a increase ot 77.4 per cent. T h e per cent increase iu Maine w a s larger than in any of the other New England states. Crime. The Boston b a r t e n d e r s marching in a p a r a d e carried a banner upon which they proclaimed t h e startling news that "Prohibition produces crime." This w a s intended as a fling at Maine by the representatives of a so-called business that last year (1915) caused t h e a r r e s t of 58,385 persons in Boston alone, and 106,140 in t h e commonwealth, undei the high license regulation system. But United S t a t e s census reports prove the falsity of t h e liquor claims. Contrast ing Maine with her sister s t a t e ? w< find t h a t in 1910 she had for every 100. 000 population, 98 prisoners in hei penal institutions, the smallest pro portion of all the New England s t a t e s And thus t h e slanderers of Maine art once more refuted by the official facts. Prohibition, even when imperfectly enforced, tends to the reduction of crime Insanity. While t h e r e are many causes of insanity, the study of which shows it tc be a very complex problem, and while conservative estimates by scientific authorities like Doctor Rosanoff of Clark university find t h a t drink is the cause of about 25 per cent, it has remained for saloon supporters to discover that prohibition is largely responsible for insanity. How placing the liquor traffic under the ban of law can make people Insane is one of the mysteries which only the brewers and distillers and their associates can solve. Certainly there has been no prohibition In the District of Columbia up to the present time (1916), yet the census ret u r n s showt**hat on J a n u a r y 1, 1910, t h e number df insane in the hospitals t h e r e w a s 2,890, or 872.9 for every 100,- 000~bf the population, the largest proportion reported anywhere in the country. How does Maine stand In this respect a s compared with other New England s t a t e s ? If prohibition promotes insanity Maine ought to be well up at the head of the list. We find, however, from the official figures t h a t Maine h a s the smallest proportion of Insane—169 per 100,000 population. Massachusetts h a s 344 per 100,000. Drunkenness. Opponents of prohibition a r e fond of referring to the ^city of Bangor, Me., as an example of the results of prohibition, a n d holding up the n u m b e r of a r r e s t s for drunkenness as proof of the complete failure of the prohibitory law in t h a t state. As a m a t t e r of f a c t Bangor is a striking proof of the failure of t h e regulation system. Under the Bangor system of nullification of law, liquor sellers h a v e been brought Into court and fined, t h u s setting aside t h e intent and purpose of t h e law a n d setting u p a local license system. Under this plan the number of a r r e s t s for drunkenness h a s been large, not on account of prohibition, but because of the treasonable action of Bangor officials. Any attempt, however mild, t o enforce t h e law h a s always resulted In a , d i m i n u t i o n of a r r e s t s for drunkenness, t h u s proving conclwsivety t h e failure of t h e Bangor regulation method a n d showing t h e efficacy a n d value of prohibition.—Prof. J o h n A.

If the eleeticn othcials of a few rc-niote 1'irecinets in a few states know how the nation has been waiting breathless to hear from thorn, they must be sv,clle< tip enormously with a sense of their importance. For on those few precincts has depended the nation's choice of its chief executive. T h a t .Mr. Wilson's victory over Mr. Hughes will not be conceded without a recount in the close states, such as ('alifornia. New Hampshire, 'New Mexico and North Dakota, was determined at conferences of the Republican leaders here. Chairman Wilioox asserted a recount wo hi be demanded wherever the margin of Democratic victory was so small Unit comparatively few votes would turn the scales. He and his associates say they take the position that there should be no cloud upon Mr. Wilson's title to the presidency. Tin1 Democrats, for their part, declared that there must be a recount in New Hampshire, even though the returns Kave the state to Mr. Wilson. That the returns are still Incomplete is due to the presence ou the border of the National Guard of a number of states. The soldiers are permitted to vote by mail, their ballots being forwarded to the auditors of their home counties, and in Minnesota especially the vote of the Guardsmen is likely to cut u figure in determining whether the state goes Into the Wilson or the Hughes column. Minnesota was as bad as California In the matter of shifts, and as its delegation is nearly as large, it, too, was matched with the intensest Interest. Through days and nights of counting, the race was a see-saw, with but a thousand or so of votes separating the candidates, Neither side would admit defeat, and even now both are awaiting the soldier vote and the official count. New Hampshire a Surprise. Perhaps the most surprising of all the states was New Hampshire. It alone of all New England failed to give The Republican candidate a substantial plurality, atid for days no one knew in which column It would -land. The astonishing closeness of the vote was shown by the rival claims, three days after the election, of 100 plurality for Hughes and 84 for Wilson. In the circumstances it Is no wonder that the managers of both parties should demand a recount New Mexico, with three electoral votes, attracted national attention by placing itself early in the list of doubtful states, and as it soon appeared that almost every electoral vote would be vital, the returns from down on the border were grabbed hot off the wires. After veering back and forth for days, New Mexico was definitely placed in the Wilson column, though there, too, the president's margin was so scant that a basis was afforded for the call for a recount. A few mistakes discovered in the figures of the precinct officials might well swing the state over to Hughes. WiJIcox Demands Recount. On Friday National Chairman Will- -cox of the Republican party handed out the following statement: "The result still depends upon the vote in a few close states. It must be home in mind that the returns thus far announced are, in most states, unofficial, and may be changed by the official count required by the laws of those states. "Twice daring these unofficial computations yesterday In California mistakes in additions were announced from-that state, substantially changing figures previously given. "It la a common experience that the result of the official count almost always variea from the returns first ' b e t h a t m a t e r i a l c h a n g e s w i l l r e s u l t I f r o m tne o d i e i a l o i : : : i r .

There are several great outstanding facts concerning the result of the election, one of which is that labor, in ah the big jmltiMrial states except Ohio, declined to give its undivided support to Inv.sidenL Wilson despite ids claim to it on the score of having persuaded congress to pass the Adainson "eighthour" bill. New York, 1'ermsj. Ivauia. Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, till gave the Republican candidate pluralities, and Ohio's vote in I';. vor of Wilson is not certainly to be attributed to the labor vote.

Yet another fact that calls for comment is 1 tint Coventor Johnson of California, running on the Republican ami Progressive tickets, has been elected to the United States senate by something like 3IXUJ0O plurality, and yet the s t a t e went Democratic on the presidency.

Legislation enacted In 1887, It was said, made the state sovereign in pronouncing judgment in a recount of the presidential vote. How Congress Stands. Congressional election returns, nearly completed, assure President Wilson in the forthcoming administration a Democratic senate, hut with five districts still undecided, the best that the Democrats could claim was a plurality of four votes in the house. Upon the basis of revised returns the Democrats have elected 215 members of the house and the Republicans 211. In addition there have been elected one Independent, one Socialist, one Progressive and one Progressive Protectionist. Four districts in West Virginia, two of them nominally Democratic, and two Republican, and one district in New Mexico, are still undecided. If these districts do not change, the Democrats will have 217 and the Republicans 214, a plurality of only three. As there will be four members of other minority parties, a working majority for the Dem-'rats is improbable unless some of the minority members should choose to cast their lot with the administration forces. The senate, according to latest figures, will consist of 54 Democrats and 42 Republicans, a majority of 12. The Democratic majority in the present senate is 16. An unusual feature of the result is the election of the first woman to congress, Miss Jeanette Rankin, Republican, apparently having been elected in Montana. Six States Go Dry. Prohibitionists are jubilant over the results of the election where prohibition was an issue. From Washington the legislative committee of the Anti- Saloon league issued a statement, saying: "Prohibition has taken another great leap forward. Michigan has voted for state-wide prohibition by 75,000 majority, Nehraska by &o,Oo6, Montana by 20,000 and South Dakota by 25,000. Idaho has adopted a prohibition constitutional amendment by a majority of 3 to 1. Utah has probably elected a legislature pledged to enact state-wide prohibition. Washington; Iowa, Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas have defeated attempts of the liquor people to secure the adoption of proposals which would nullify their prohibitory taws. "Thus 24 states out of 48-~0Q6-bmlf of the states of the Union—have now declared for stats-wide prohibition, MWh#re the vote Is as dose as that Women Vote as Do Men. \ reported in several states, it may wefl From the general result it hi dear SUBMARINE SINKS AMERICAN SHIP S U R V I V O R S O F A M E R I C A N - H A W A I - IAN L I N E S T E A M E R L A N D E D ON S P A N I S H COAST.

Luck, good or bad, is certainly on the trail of Hugh Whitaker. You remember, a corps of eminent surgeons gave him Just six months to live. 80 he found a girl In trouble, married her to save her good name and disappeared immediately. Five years later he reappeared in New York from Australia, happy, healthy and prosperous, and started out to find the little girt he married.. He discovers her when he goes to the theater—she's Sara Law, great actress. Mutual recognition across the footlights stops the play and creates wild excitement among the audience.

"I dunno—^go ask Max." "Where is he?" "You can search me; last 1 saw of him he was tearing the star dressln' room up by the roots." Whltaker hurried on Just In time to see Max disappearing in the direction of the stage door, at which point be caught up with him, and from the rnuuager's disjointed catechism of the doorkeeper garnered the information that the star had hurried out of the building while Max was making his announcement before the curtain. Max swung angrily upon Whltaker. "Oh, it's you, Is tt? Perhaps you can explain what this means? She was looking straight at you when she dried up! I saw her—" "Perhups you'd better find Miss Law and ask her," Whltaker interrupted. "Have you any Idea where she's gone?" "Home, probably," Max snupped In return. "Come on, then." Passing his arm through the manager's, Whltaker drew him out into the uiley. "We'll get a taxi before this mob—" "But, look here—what business've you got mixing in?" "Ask Miss Law," said Whltaker, shortly. It had been on the tip of his tongue to tell the man flatly: "I'm her husband." But he retained wit enough to deny himself the satisfaction of this shattering rejoinder. "I kuow her," he added; "that's enough for the prese n t " . At the entrance to the alley Max paused to Listen to tile uproar within his well-beloved theater. "I'd give five thousand gold dollars If I hadn't met you this afternoon!" he groaned. "I always knew that woma n was a Jonah!" "You were calling her your mascot two hours a g a " "She'll be the death of me, y e t " the little man insisted gloomily. B e stopped short, Jerking his arm free. "Look Wre, I'm not going. Tve got my work cut out for me back there"—with a Jerk of his head toward the theater. Whltaker hesitated, then without regret decided to lose him. It would be CLB well to get over the impending Interview without a third factor. "Very well," he said, beckoning a texlcab In to the curb. "What's the address?" Max gave i t sullenly. "So long," be added morosely as Whltaker opened the cab door; "sorry I ever laid eyes on you." .Whltaker settled back In the cab |d, oblivious to the lights of Broadly streaming past, tried to think.

Was Miss Law at home? He would This indicated that she was at borne. Whltaker tendered a card with his surname penciled after that of Mr. Hugh Morten In engraved script He stared round him with pardonable wonder. If this were truly the home of Mary Ladhslatt Whltaker—her property—he had builded far better lhau he could possibly have foreseen \vith that Investment, of five buudred dollars six years since. Soft, shaded IlKhtK, rare furnishings, the rich yet delicate atmosphere of exquisite taste, rhe bush and orderly perfection of a home made and maintained with consummate art: these furnished him with dim, provoking intimations of au Indij vldunlity to which he was a stranger— less than a stranger—nothing. . . . Almost immediately he became aware of feminine footsteps on the staircase—there entered to him a lady well past middle age, with the dignity and poise consistent with her years, her manifest breeding and her iron-gray hair. "Mr. W h i t a k e r r He bowed. "I am Mrs. Secretan, a friend of Miss Law's. She has asked me to say that she begs to be excused, at least for tonight And I am further Instructed to ask 1f you will be good enough to leave your address." "Certainly: I'm stopping at the Ritz- Carlton ; but"—be demurred—"I should like to leave a note, If I may—?" Mrs. Secretan nodded an a s s e n t "You will find materials in the desk there," she added, Indicating an escritoire. Thanking her, Whltaker sat down, and, after some hesitation, wrote a few lines : Please don't think 1 mean to cause you the slightest inconvenience or distress. I shall be glad to further your wishes In any way you may care to designate. Please believe in my sincere regret . . . Signing and folding this, he rose and delivered it to Mrs. Secretan.. He found himself in the s t r e e t with his'trouble for all reward for his pains. He wondered what to do, where to go, next. The driver of the taxicab was holding the door for him, head bent to catch the address of the next stop. But his fare lingered still in doubt Dimly he became aware of the violent bawling* of a brnce of news vendors who were ramping through ~*he street one on either sidewalk. At the spur of a vague wonder if the papers were already noising abroad the news of the fiasco ut the Theater Max, Whltaker purchased a paper. "Ther'y'are, sir. 'Orribie moider . . . Thnnky . . ." The tnnn galloped on, howling. Bui Whitaker stood with his gaze riveted In horror. The news Item so pointedly offered to his attention was clearly legible in the light of the cab lamps: LATEST EXTRA TRAGIC SUICIDE IN HARLEM RIVER. Stopping his automobile In the middle of Washington bridge at 7:30 p. m., Carter S. Drummond, the lawyer, and fiance of Sara Law, the actress, threw himself to his death in the Harlem river. The body has net yet been recovered. CHAPTER V I I . A History. Whltaker consulted a telephone book without finding .that Drummond had any private residence connection, and then tried at rapdom one of the clubs of which they had been members in common in the days when Hugh Whltaker was a human entity in the knowledge of the town. Here he had better luck—luck, that Is, tn as far as it put an end to his wanderings for the night; he found a clerk who remembered his face without remembering his name, and who, consequently, was not unwilling to talk. Drummond, It seemed, had lived at the club; he had dined alone, that evening, in his room; had" ordered h i s motor car from the adjacent garage for seven o'clock; and had left at about that hour with a small handbag and no companion. Nothing further was known of his actions save the police report The car had been found stationary on Washington bridge, and 'deserted. Drummond's motor -coat and cap on the driver's seat. Bystanders averred that a man had been seen to leave the car and precipitate himself from the bridge to the stream below. The body was still unreoovered. The club had notified by telegraph a brother in San Francisco, the only member of Drummond's family of whom It had any record. Friends, fellow members of the club, were looking after things—doing all that could and properly ought to be -done under the circumstances. Whltaker walked back to his boteL There was no other place tp g o ; no place, that Is, that wooed his humor In that hour.' He was. Indeed, profoundly shocked. He held himself measurably responsible for Drummond's act of desperation. N e s t to poor Peter Stark, whom hit heart mourned without ceasing, he bad eared most for Drummond of nil the men he bad known and liked 'in the old life. Now . . . he felt alone and very lonely, sick o f heart and forlorn. T t e n was, at conrss, Lynch, Ms partner fn t n s Antipodes; WWtakst w a s fssjdof Lynsfc, bat not with the affection that a generous-spirited youth had accorded Peter Stark and Drummond—a blind and unreasoning affection that asked no q-iestlous and made nothing of faults. The capacity for such sentiment wan dead tu him, as dead as Peter Stark, us dead as Drummond. . . . It was nearly midnight, but the bour found Whltaker In uo humor for bed or the emptlnesH of his room. He strolled into the lounge, sat down at 21 detached Table In a corner, and ordered something to drink. A page, hearing something ,on a salver, ambled through the lounge, now and again opening Ins mouth to bleat, dispassionately: "Mi»- ta Whltaker, Mlsta Whltaker r The owner of that name experienced a flush ot exasperation. What right had the management to cause him 10 be advertised in every public room of the establishment? . . . But the next instant his. resentmeni evaporated, when tie remembered that he remained Mr. Hugh Morten In the managerial comprehension. He lifted a finger; the boy swerved toward him, tendered a blue envelope, accepted a gratuity and departed. It was a cable message ; very probably an answer to his to Grace Pettit. Whltaker tore the envelope and unfolded the inclosure, glancing first at the signature to verify his surmise. As he did so. he heard his name a second time. "Pardon me; this is Mr. Whltaker?" A man stood beside the little table —one whom Whitaker bad indifferently noticed on entering as an equally lonely lounger at another table. Though he frowned involuntarily with annoyance, he couldn't well deny his identity. "Yes," he said shortly, looking the man up and down with a captious eye. Yet it was hard to -find much fault with this Invader of his preoccupation. He had the poise and the dress of a gentleman: dignity without aggressiveness, completeness without ostentation. He had a spare, not ungraceful body, a plain, dark face, a humorous mouth, steady e y e s : a man easily forgotten or Whitaker stood With His Gaze Riveted in Horror. overlooked unless he willed It otherwise. "My name is Ember," he said quietly. "If you'll permit me—my card." He offered a slip of pasteboard engraved with the name of Martin Ember. "And I'll sit down, because 1 want to talk to you for a few minutes." Accordingly he sat down. Whltaker glanced at the card, and questlonlngly back at Mr. Embers face. "I don't know you, but . . . What are we to talk about, please?** The man smiled, not unpleaslngly. "Mrs. Whitaker," he said. "Mrs. Whltaker didn't send you to me? Then how— What the deuce—!" MI happened to have a seat near your box at the theater tonight," Mr. Ember explained coolly. "From—what I saw there, I Inferred that you must be —yourself. Afterwards I got hold of Max, confirmed my suspicion, 'and extracted your address from him." "I see," said Whltaker, slowly. "Who the devil are you 7** he demanded bluntly. *H was," said the other slowly, "once, a private detective. Now—I'm a person of no particular employment, of independent means, with a penchant— you're at liberty to assume—for poking my nose into other people's business.

It would be a good thing if our legislative. lK>d!es. not excluding t h t Congress of the United States, would give themselves a Ion? rest from the business of framing multitudinous new statutes, with which to clutter their own records ;uul t h e law libraries of the world.

There is s. realization that clear, intelligible English must be used, t h a t other statutes on the same subject must be examined, in order to learn whether the new bill will link up with existing legislation. New York State employs a bill-drafting expert at Albany. At Columbia University there is ;i bill-drafting department, and oth'T educational institutions are beginning to study the subject. It is well that -'-e have :he>-t" signs of progress to encourage us. l-'or rbere hnve been examples in the past not only of frivolous lawmaking, but. of s t a t u t e s framed for dishonest motives Mid expressed in such manner thtit tl.ey would hr difficult, or impossible, to enforce. An interesting point is the tendency among English- -peaking people to legislate against : «i;nrn ills. su< h. as poverty.

We are pulling at the very eoruer-sUmes of government and seeking more and more to limit ihe rigbta of the people by law. Where do ail the^hyKteileal issuea originate? Certainly not on the farm, the factory er behiad the counter. It Is not the busy, enterprising, thoughtful citizenship that suggested these changes. It Is ihe idle, the selfish and the hysterical. The jeers of the p#Utical agitator, the scoffs of the- political preacher and the sneers of the pelitieal lawyer have crazed the public mind. This triple alliance of evil ialuences has sent a wave of flight down the spinal column of state, and farmers and business men" in many instances bate been cut loose from their safe mooring and set adrift in the sea of uncertainty and doubt The ballet has been cast with an unsteady hand and an uncertain mind, but the time for sober second thought has arrived and every good citixen with calm, dispassionate judgment should carefully count the eost. What is gained by all this change? Will it start another plow, build another factory, op^ii another mine or put another vessel a flout on rhe sea? Will it increase tht- prier of products, decrease the cost of thing or lower the taxes? People, like animals, have leaders and. like fheu. ihey should be able to select, eapaiii.' leaders for reason ought to Oe more able than inxtlneL Who are dm orders in public life in your stati- todny and on what olalru do ihe.v ki.M' their title to such an honor? ^ovenum-Mit Is a great big business and must be run on business principles. Only those who are capable of grappling with the problems of administering justice, taxation, markets nnd production and who can grasp the forces of progress are entitled to leadership. It Is an easy matter to lead the populace to a fire, but quite another to lead them to the field and factory. It is easy to restrain, but quite another thing to put In motion. It is easy to destroy, but quit^e another to build. This country needs men of ac^QDj, horse sense and busfness ability at the helm in government behind sound, sensible issues that give business results. Take a business inventory. Lay down against every measure the yard stick of results and with courage and wisdom cast out error. Measure every man who seeks to give public counsel by the tape-line of business ability. The greatest peril of any government is unsafe leaders. Nations follow their leaders»to success or failure. War may have ita heroes; religion its martyrs and politics its patriots, but it takes business sense to run government and those who have had no business training or experience are Incapable of safe leadership. The farmers and business men must take hold of the reins of government and put forward lsanes and men that promote the prosperity of t he ^country, and do it HCW,—Peter Kadford, 2 j6UPB04RD W A S H DAY M E N U . i • .sec: u s , o n . i i • ! •_ ( ' o u r d r e s s •.-. • N e w ^ ,,r\ nil l ' e m o < Si vet o bf "•-".. -r• li ,v . . t e d o u ; e S t a l e : h e T e : -;H i c s t o Sd irnwr: and houc . , n 2: r e e , a ; - ( 1 - 1»:! r A - s i • : . ; ,nti , >t" s :; tenri(-ra y :n i n d u l g e in e v e o s - e g i S l a t i o m T h e ki t tor a p p e a r s atri e x p r e s s i o n o f t h e p o w e r oT \ e r w e r - *. 1 \ € MONDAY-BREAKFAST.

The history of the words "temper'* and 'humor" is very curious. According to ancient physiology, the human. body Included four "humors" ;liquids! —blood, phlegm, bile and black bil» or melancholia. Their combination, formed a man's "temperament"—and we speak of sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholy temperaments to this day. "Temper,'' the synonym of 'temperament," has undergone the strange developments which we have noted, soj that 'losing your temper" and "being in a temper" mean the same thing. Excess of one humor over tbe rest led to oddities; whence a "humorous" man came to signify an eccentric 'person^ And now "humorous" applies not. to the odd person, but to the man who sees tbe oddity in him.—London Spec-f tator.

Whitaker laughed quietly and turned Hie conversation, accepting the .manager's pseudo-confidences at tbelf face value—that la, aa pur* bluff. Quite consistent with the managerial po**. They roae presently and made their way out Into the crowded, blatant night , of Broadway. • i "Weif walk* If you don't mind," Max BQggeetea. "ft^lsn't far. and Td like to gel a Uni an the house aa It goes in." He sighed affectedly. "Heaven knows when Til see another swell audience mobblMr one of my attractions r They pusheirTorward slowly through the eddying tides, elbowed by a matchless motley of humanity, deafened by Its thousand Jongues, dazzled to blindness by walls of living tight. Whitaker experienced a sensation of participate log In a royal progress: Max was plainly a man of mark; he left a wake of rjKpfln* Interest. At every third step domebody hailed him, as a rule by his •rat name; generally he responded by a curt nod and a tightening of his teeth upon his clgnr. They turned east through Fortysixth street, shouldered by a denser rabble whose faces, all turned In one direction, shone livid with the glare of a gigantic electric sign, midway down the block: THEATER MAX SARA LAW'S FAREWELL. It was nearly half-past eight; the house had been open since seven; and stttt a queue ran from the gallery doors to Broadway. The lobby Itself waa crowded to suffocation with an Occidents Klurbar of barbaric magnificence, the city's supreme manifestation of Us religion, the ultimate rite to the worship of the pomps of the flesh. **Look at that," Max grumbles through his cigar. "Ain't It a shamer "Whatr Whitaker had to lift hlfl voice to make it carry above the buszing of the throng. T h e money rm losing," returned the manager, vividly disgusted. MI could've filled the Metropolitan opera house three times over!" Ha swung on his heel and began to push his way out of the lobby. "Come along—no uae trying to get In this way." Whitaker followed, to be led down a blind allay between the theater and the adjoining hotel. An Illuminated sign advertised the stage door, through which, via a brief hallway, they entered the postacentum and—Max dragging him by th* arm—paaaed through a small door tote the gangway behind the boxes. "Curtain* just «p,n Max told him; "Sara doesnt come on till near the middle of the a c t Make yourself,comfortable ; rtl be back before long.** .He drew aside a curtain and ushered his guest Into the right-hand stage-box, then vanished. The few empty stalls were rapidly filling up. There was a fluent movement through the aisles. A subdued hum and rustle rose from that portion of the audience which was already seated. The business going on upon the stage was receiving little attention— from Whitaker as little aa from anyone. The opening scene in {he development of the drama interested the "gathering little or not at all; It was banging in suspense upon the unfolding of aome extraordinary development, something unprecedented and extraneous, foreign to the play. Max allpped quietly into the box and handed his guest a program. "Better get 'over here,'* he suggested in a hoarse whisper, indicating a chair near tbs rail. "Ton may never have another chance to ase the greatest living actress. * Wonderful house,* he whispered, eitting down behind Whitaker. "Drummood hasn't ahown up yet, though.* "That mT Whitaker returned over his shoulder. "Tes; If a fanny; never knew him to bo so late. He always has the stale seat, fourth row, center. But hell bo along presently." He glanced Idly at his program, todlffereotly absorbing the Information that "Jules Max has the honor to present Miss Sara Law tn her first and greatest success entitled Joan Tnnrs- 4ty~-a-B*a?

Mas shifted omair Mated hJm and said i n a s n a w t a r a l A wesaanhas the barest glimpse of her profile as, pausing momentarily, ahe eyed the other actors. Then, without speaking, she turned and walked up-stage, her back to the footlights. Applause broke out like a thunderclap, pealing heavily through the big auditorium, but the actress showed no consciousness of IL She was standing before a cheap mirror, removing her hat arranging her hair with the typical, unconscious gestures of a weary shopgirl; she was acting—living the pcene, with no time to waste in pandering to her popularity by bows and set smiles; she remained before the glass, prolonging the business, until the applause subsidedr Whitaker received an impression as of a tremendous force at work across the footlights. The woman diffused an effect as of a terrible and boundless energy under positive control. She was not merely an actress, not even merely a great actress; she was the very soul of the drama of today. Beyond this he knew In his heart that she was his wife. Sara Law was the woman he had married In that sleepy Connecticut town, six years before that night. He had not yet* seen her face'clearly, but he knew. To find himself mistaken 7ould have shaken the foundations of his understanding. Under coyer of the applause, be turned to Max. "Who is that? What Is her name?H "The divine Sara," Max answered, bis eyes shining. "I meun, what Is her name off the stage, In private life?" "The same," Max nodded with conviction ; "Sara Law's the only name she's ever worn In my acquaintance with her." At that moment, the applause having subsided to anch an extent that it was possible for her to make herself heard, the actress s w w u round from the mirror and addressed one of the other players. Ber voice was clear, strong and vibrant, yet sweet; but Whitaker paid no heed to the lines she spoke. He was staring, fascinated, at her face. Sight of It set the seal of certainty upon conviction: She waa one with Mary Ladislas. Re had forgotten ber so completely In the lapse of years aa to have been unable to recall her features and coloring, yet be had needed only to see to recognise her beyond any possibility of doubt Those big, intensely burning eyes, that drawn and pallid face, the quick, nervous movements of ber thin white hands, the alenderneaa of her'talL awkward, immature figure—In every line and contour, in every gesture and Inflection, ahe reproduced the Mary Ladislas whom he had married, And yet . . . Max was whispering over hla shoulder: "Wonderful make-up—whatV "Make-up T Whitaker retorted. "She's not made up—she's herself to the last detail" Amusement glimmered In the manager's round little eyes: "You don't know her. Walt till you. get a pipe at her off the stage." Then he checked the reply that was shaping on Whitaker* 8 lips, with a warning lift of hla hand and brows: "Sshl Catch thla, now. She's a wonder tn this scene," The superb actress behind the counterfeit of the hunted and hungry shopgirl was holding spellbound with her inevitable witchery the most sophisticated audience in the world; like wheat in a windstorm It swayed to the modulations of her marvelous voice aa It ran through a passage-at-amia with the termagant Suddenly ceasing to speak, ahe turned down to a chair near the footlights, followed by a torrent of shrill vituperation under the lash of which she quivered like s whipped thoroughbred. Abruptly, pausing with ber hands on the back of the chair, there came a change. The actress had glanced across the footlights; Whitaker could not but follow too direction of her gase; the ayes of both focsjssed for a brief instant on the empty aisle-seat in the fourth row. A shade of additional pallor showed on the woman's face. She looked quickly, qoesOoningiy, toward the box of her manager. Seated as ho was so near the stags, Whitak«r*8 face stood omt la rugged relief, Illumined by the glow reflected from the footlights. It was inevitable that aha should aee bias.

She turned, calling imperatively Into the wings: "Ring down!" With a rush the curtuin descended as pandemonium broke out on both sides of it. CHAPTER V I . The Late Extra. Impulsively Whitaker got up to follow Max, then hesitated und sunk.back In doubt, his head uwhtri.* He WHS for the time being shocked out of oil capacity for clear reasoning or right thinking. Uppermost In his consciousness he had a half-formed notion that It wouldu't help matters If he were to force himself In upoo the crisis* behind the scenes. Beyond all question his wife had recognized In him the man whom she had been given every reuson to believe dead: a discovery so unnerving as to render her temporarily unuble to continue. This, then, explained Drummond's reluctance to have liirn bidden to the supper party; whatever ultimate course of action he planned to pursue, Druramond had been unwilling, perhaps pardonably so, to have bis romance overthrown and altogether shut* tered la a single day. He had lied, lied desperately, doubtless meaning to encompass a marriage before Whitaker could ilnd bis wife, and so furnish him with every reason that could Influence an honorable man to disappear a second time. On the other hand, Max to a certainty was Ignorant of the relationship between his star and his old time friend, Just as he must have been ignorunt of her Identity with the one time Mary Ladislas. For that matter, Wbltuker had to admit that, damning as was the evidence to controvert the theory, Drummond might be Just as much In the dark as Mas wus. It wus only fair to suspend Judgment In the meantime . . . The audience was gottlng beyond control. In the galler/ the gods were beginning to testify to their normal intolerance with shrill whistles, cat-calls, sporadic bursts of hand-clnpplng and a steady, sinister rumble of stamping feet In the orchestra and dress circle people were moving about restlessly and talking at the top of their voices In order to make themselves beard above the growing din. Abruptly Max himself appeared at one side of the proscenium arch. It was plain to those nearest the stage that he was seriously disturbed. There waa a noticeable hesitancy In his man- ODD PLACES TO HIDE CASH Woman Concealed Savings on H*r Mother's Grave—Safety Deposit In Cannon. The woman who, as Just revealed tn the law courts, hid her savings on her mother's grave In Forest Hilt cemetery probably hit upon a unique cache. But there is no saving. The person who mistrusts savings banks generally looks around for the most unlikely spot In which to deposit wealth, and more than one may hit on the same idea. Old cannon, for Instance, seem to form favorable depositories. Quite 9 quantity of Jewelry was found some while ago in a solitary gun which stands In the fort'at Shoreham, and about the same time a bag containing 70 sovereigns was discovered in an old cannon In Peel park.

Wave span wave of aouad swept through the auditorium to break, roar- Ihft, ajcula*t the obdurate curtain. Max with difficulty contrived to make himself disconnectedly audible.

Apropos of the proposed appointment of a commission for the advertisiug of Chicago us a commercial and educational ceuter, the Uuioa Signal suggests to that city and to citle« generally that there are other methods lees expensive which produce greater results. "Huve you noticed the free DUblldty given to Seattle, Portland, Des Moines and Denver?" it says. "The public is Interested in these cities now as never before and is watching these 'experiments In decency and morality' with far greater eagerness than it ever evinced when they were only ordinary money-accumulating centers. "If Kansas were to blot off of her statute books her prohibitory law she would lose a fine bit of advertising. The attacks of the liquor interests must net that plucky, prosperous, progressive state thousands of dollars every yeuy. Not only do the liquorites publish whole pa^es of fabricated fairy tales concerning the defunct Sunflower state, but they run their printing presses overtime putting on the market booklets devoted entirely to the failure' of prohibition In Kansas. "This publicity works so well that men come from across the ocean to study the state which is 'failing* at such a rate that It burns its last mort^ gage bond and finds itself out of debt; that it discovers it has the highest per capita wealth of any state und a tax rate lower than that of any other State except one. "And because prohibition is making Denver, Portland, Des Moines and Seattle better cities than ever before, the public Is talking about them, writing about them, advertising them. They are being used to 'point a moral and adorn a tale' as communities in whicti crime has decreased and bank deposits increased; in which vice districts have disappeared and legitimate busln-e^s has prospered. To be sure the criminal element has sent out Its warning against them aa territory to be avoided, and the white slavers are advertising them as of no use for their vicious purposes, but the patrons of educational institutions are commending them as safe places to send their boys and girls; the owners of large Industrial establishments are considering them as locations for their plants where 'safety first' for employees will prevail and home-makers are finding in these cities an Ideal place to rear families. "If you want a real, permanent, satisfactory boom for your city, try the method of Seattle, Denver. Des Moines, Portland and other saloonless centers." BOOSTERS AND BREWERIE8. While the national Democratic convention was In St Louts nn effort was made by the local newspapers to boost the home town. The St. Louis Times issued a special convention supplement In which the Industries of that city were advertised. Under the heading, "Facts About St. Louis Worth Knowing," 50 of the most prominent facts were mentioned. Despite the fact that St, Louis Is one of two cities in the country most conspicuous for Its beer industry, not one word was said about the breweries. Under the heading, "The Exports of S t Louis," beer appears in its alphabetical place. Among exports this product could not be Ignored, but the commercial bodies of St. Louis, Judging by their display elsewhere, were ashamed to ipclude a reference to beer as one of their chief products. WHISKY DOE8SNOT WARM. Sir Lauder Brunton, In his "Lectures on the Action of Medicines," gives a striking example of the danger of taking alcoholic drinks to "keep warm." A party of engineers were surveying in the Sierra Nevada. Thay camped at a great height above sea level, where the air was very cold, and they were miserable. Some of them drank a little whisky and felt leas uncomfortable. Some of them drank a lot of whisky and went to bed feeling very jolly and comfortable indeed. In the morning men who had not taken any whisky got up all right; those who bad taken a little whisky got up feeling very unhappy; the men who had taken a lot of whisky did not get up at all; they were simply frozen to death. 'They had warmed,*" adds the professor, "the surface of their "bodies at the expense of their Internal organs," NEVER SOBER.

CONSIDER THE LILIES By L. M. BENNINGTON. T/he time has come for the anminl shipments of Japanese and Europenn lilies to reneh America, nnB some thought must he Riven by prospective producers to- the things that must be done in order to get results from these pretty und valuable plants. In the first place, the amateur should be reminded—It Is not necessary to tell the trained professional—that this big country has many degrees of climate. In many sections of the land the ground will, he frozen before the bulbs can be received, much less planted. A little forehanded precaution will serve to avoid the trouble that the cold brings. Manure, old bagjring, or any other sort of rocognl^ed covering which will protect the ground where the bulbs are to be planted, will act as a reception committee and keep the ground ready to receive the bulbs. After Decemher 1 It Is generally customary to defer the planting until spring, hut there are many sections where such delay Is not at all necessary. Among the beautiful types that are listed among the late importations are the white lily of Japan, or Llllum Aurntum Vlrginrle Album. It has exquisitely pure white flowers, which assume very large proportions and display a sulnhur-yellow band through each petal. The Lilium Auratum Wittel also has immense flowers, and Is very tall and free of bloom. The color is creamy white, with a yellow band to afford relief. The variety listed for this season is so great that It would take'a wealth of detail to tell all about the benuttfnl flowers. And while speaking of lilies, I am reminded of the value of the Chinese type. From a couple of plain little cuttings that were picked up In a dingy little store In New York's Chinatown, n New York woman has a most attractive house orwiment The sprouts were simply pot in a jar of water and placed over the mantel and nature did the rest. The lilies have sprouted and flourished indoors without the slightest care, save for the occasional renewal of the water, and their long, green shoots give a refreshing relief to the room where they are DOW persistently adding to their beauty. desired effects. L'p to the sizes from two to three feet in length, the more bulk they have the better because they offer greater aesistunce to the utie*nntive elements of thawing and freezing. As a primary proposition the gnrdener wants to cut his bank un a slight slant, and- then begin laying hlfc rocks with a backward and downward angle. When the bank has been cut u few large stones should be nicely fitted together. Over them lay a covering of rich soil, made from leaf mold or loom, or, If no such soil is possible, prepare well-rotted manure Instead of the leuf mold. Put about half an inch of the covering on the first rocks and pack well to prevent it from falling out. The roots of the plant should then be pressed lightly into the soil, using care that they be made firm and steady. The ne'st step calls for more soil. It is essential that the stone should be well set and so anchored as to make it safe from slipping. From this point on the process Is one of repetition. As large or as small a rock garden as one wishes may be made by repeating the laying of rock and the covering with soil and plants. If one wishes to provide a water supply it must be laid with the wall. A few lengths of old farm tile will do for the task. The line of the tile should lleemck of the stones. The neophyte will be astonished to see how many really beautiful plants will thrive In these surroundings. The first results will be found in Paril. The beautiful gold dust will be among the first, spreading Its brilliant yellow masses over the stones. Purple false rock cress, Johnny jump-ups, alyssum, moss pink, Iceland and Alpine poppies and even native violets In both yellow and purple follow among the possibilities. White rock cress, pink and blue forget-me-nots, dwarf Iris and columbines trail along the list and pretty harebells will bloom in June. The blue flax, snow-in-summer, mock-strawberry and the cat mint are all garden wall friends. MAKING THE_STONES COUNT By L. M. BENNFNQTON. There is no place where the taste and originality of the garden worker can be shown to better advantage than In the making of a garden walL Aljnoet all of the lovers of the garden have af*some time cherished the desire to hate a rock garden. It offers an appeal and a field that seems to be Irresistible. The beauty of the rock garden prospect Is that one does not have to depend upon natural assistance to provide one. Almost any point in the gardad where a retaining wall la needed, sc nooafbte, affords the opportunity for decorative effect -field stones, of the kind THE GARDENER'S NOTEBOOK SEEKING FOR LIGHT Men Turning to the Bible to Find Wisdom to Deal With Prac- _ cai Things. It has come to be felt in these days of efficiency demands und of conservation energy that the Bible is a storehouse of wisdom for pructical life. And these stories have not been sufficiently valued and applied to the experience of men in society The swing of the Protestant cbu-ches toward Bible study and particularly men's Bible classes, indicates that the men of business iff airs and work-fc-day (| burdens are becoming zestfully Interested in the amplication of biblical truth to themselves and their environment. Heaven is not made more distant to the spiritual vision because men are not usiig the churches simply as astronomical observatories, from which to descry the stars of hope and of faith and of reward in the heavenly planetary. The-eternities do not suffer because the tern pom 11 ties are cared for. One can he satisfied-that the Ice caps at the poles of the earth were much more extensive, If he has. sufficient geological knowledge to perceive r e glacial drlVt in the stone and •.'-Hvel deposits? that run across the •onrinent at a certain general parallel. |t So one can be assured of the fact of heaven, because he has constant evidence to his eyes and experience of graces and goodness in human hearts that are not of the earth earthy and must be of the neavens heavenly. So much pulpit labor is employed in painting heaven and its holiness when there are so nmny of God's children garbed in the tatters of sin and poverty and ignorance who should be clothed in garments as radiant and as pure as the petals of the Mly. What the Bible Has to Say. The Bible classes are more and more turning to the Bible with reference to great topical lines (of Inquiry, so as to apply the wonderful words of life, the examples of living testimony and the experience of peculiarly developed people to the conditions of modern living. What has the Bible to say of the many burning questions of the day? What are its suggestions for the solution of the intricate relations of men with their fellowmen in the numerous contacts of life? The Bible classes throw much light upon these subjects, those that use the type of lesson series that are arranged to give the study of the word the application to modern thought and experience that is so much needed. "The entrance of thy word glveth light," says the psalmist. And the light of the Word is the leading needed by mankind. Much Taught by Sacred Book, It would be difficult to overestimate the effects upon society of the hundreds of thousands of men engaged In Bible study, especially as this study takes the form of seeking interpretations of biblical history experience and wisdom in the light of modern »needs. The life of Moses, the lives of any of the Old Testament worthies, the underlying social laws that are found in the hooks wherein are framed the legislation for a new society— the Jewish theocracy—are replete with incalculable resources of material for present-day utilization. Above all else the, life ~nd the words of Jesus offer to the world o fund of practical suggestion, implication and mandate that should be employed more In real, practical life, and without diminution of their values in field of Inward spiritual experience. Hence the Bible classes are doing a work of tremendous potentiality. They do not create Pharisaism; they do not encourage hypocrisy; they are aimed at the extraction of truth from the Word. Thus they are not trammelled by the limitations of denomination or sectarian viewpoint. They are n-fine organizing agency and are promotive of true brotherhood and of practical Christianity In the life of the times.

Place six roots In a six-Inch pot or pulb pan, and cover them one inch. They may be kept In a cellar or ,cold frame protected from frost until spring, when they may be placed in the window to bloom. If sweet peas are wanted during January, February and March they should be planted about the middle of October; If wanted for Easter, about the first of December. A temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees at night and ten degrees higher In the daytime Is considered best When the plants are in full bloom feed.

L«ewis, "father of tne parcel post," was defeated In the contest for the United States senatorshlp by Dr. Joseph I. France, whose estimated plurality was ¢,367.

Baltimore, which gave President Wilson 9,300 plurality, gave Dr. France 9,7*2 plurality. Four democratic and two republican congressmen" were elected, a republican gain of one.
