There are a thousand and one lines of veterinary remedies on the market, but the line I have selected has only those remedies which absolutely produce results, and each one is backed up with an iron clad guarantee or money refunded. I used the same care and judgement in selecting this line, that I have used in every other line in my store, therefore you are assured of quality. Qualityis my watchword and price my second consideration, so always look for quality in this store. If I can't sell you an article that is right I DON'T care to sell you anything, that is why my business has been a success from the start ond is increasing a little each year.

VOLUME OF FIGURES GIVEN Together With Advance In Freight Tariff* Roads Would Profit Over Five Million* By Favorable Action. LanBing—Should the legislature authorize an increase of one-half cent a mile in passenger rates on Michigan lines the state railroad commission estimates that the annual increase in passenger earnings would be $3,815,- 390, according to a report filed Thursday with the senate. The report details a volume of figures tabulated by Edmunds Calkins, statistical expert of the commission. He says that $3,815,390 is a liberal estimate based on the most favorable conditions. In segregating passenger traffic in Michigan for the year ending June 80, 1913, the commission shows that the total passenger revenue was $2,- 071,645.19 on lines operating under a three-cent rate, making the average revenue a passenger for each mile $.02443. The total passenger earnings for the lines operating under a twocent rate, according to the figures of the commission, amounted to $15,138,- 494.33, or an average revenue a passenger a mile of $.0186«. The commission shows the total passenger traffic for the year 1913 as $17,230,- 139.52, or an average revenue a passenger per mile of $.01922. ACMhe request of the senate the raifroad commission also furnished an •stlmate of increased revenue under the 5 per cent advance in commodity freight rates, as $1,529,050.90. Thus the railroads are assured increased earnings of $1,529,030. The advanced freight rates, couples with the amount the railroads will earn If a 25 per cent Increase in passenger rates is authorized, will swell the earnings of the various roads to approximately $5,344,440.90.

So far as- is known, no one was killed. The greatest damage done in the industrial suburb of Courbevoie, where several factories in which night work was being carried on and which had glass roofs, guided the kaiser's air destroyers and provided all too excellent targets. Two factories at Courbevoie were destroyed and one workman was seriously injured. A bomb of great size waa dropped on the building, destroying it and tearing a great hole in FOUNDER OF R. F. 0.

MANY DECISIONS GIVEN Supreme Court Disposes of Eighty- Six Cases In Two Day*' Time. Jackson—A stroke of apoplexy, suffered Wednesday, caused the death, at. his borne here, of James O'Donnell, originator of the rural free delivery system. Mr. O'Donnell was at one time editor of the Jackson Daily Citizen, and for 45 years was a leader In republican circles in the state. He was also recognized as a pioneer in the beet sugar industry in Michigan. He was 73 years old and had lived in Jackson for 65 years.

DRUGLESS HEALERS ARE HIT Supreme Court Holds That They Must Have Licenses. i¥ ^fc Lansing—The supreme court today, deciding that chiropractors must take out licenses and be registered before they attempt to practice medicine In Michigan. Issued what looks like a •weeping opinion on healing without drugs. D. J. Healey, a chiropractor at Beldlng, was arrested for the illegal .practice of medicine, having failed to be registered by the state board of registration In medicine. Circuit Judge Frank D. M. Davis, of Ionia, -dismissed the charges on the ground Hhat the practice of chiropractic did not come within the meaning of the state law compelling the registration of all practicing medicine and eurg- -3 » • . » • • . The supreme court says that Judge Davis i t wrong, and in saying so, in en opinion written by Justioe Joseph H, Steere, c o s m close to laying down ;aa iron-dad rale regarding all heal ort in the state who do not use drugs, provided they hold themselves out to the public to cure ills of the human mind and body. ITEM* OF STATE INTEREST LanBing—The supreme court handed down 43 opinions Thursday, and this number, with 48 Wednesday, makes a record of 86 for the two days' session. Thursday's opinions for the most part dealt with estates, there being at least a dozen cases along this line decided by the court, After suffering seven long years from paralysis from an injury sustained in a railroad wreck, after fighting his case in the courts of the state for over five years, Lewis J. Marshall, of Adrian, finally wins out in his contest and as a result the Wabash railroad will have to pay him the sum of $11,255.75 and several hundred dollars more in costs. The Bupreme court so ordered Thursday in an opinion rendered in the case. The Pray liquor bill, passed by a recent session of the legislature, is held constitutional in an opinion rendered in the case of Carl Wheeler, of Hillsdale. Wheeler operated a hotel and had liquor in one room of the hotel. He was arrested and convicted and the supreme court affirms the conviction by holding the law constitutional. Oil tank cars used by railroads in Michigan and owned by corporations not engaged in the railroad business are taxable by the state tax commission, according to a decision In which the court affirms a decision of the Ingham county circuit court, which said the state has a right to assess such cars for purposes of taxation. That a policeman killed while on duty does not come within the provisions of the workingmeh's compensation act and his widow cannot recovere from a city for his injuries, the supreme court announced Thursday in the case of Mrs. Gertrude Blysn against the city of Pontiac. The $1,000 verdict obtained by Myrtle Ida Norris of Detroit against the D. U. R. for injuries "sustained by falling into a hole in a street, was reversed by the supreme court because of an error in the Wayne county coort. ^ in Courbevoie also was turned into a mass of debris by a bomb, while all surrounding buildings within a radius of 600 yards had their windows shattered by the concussion. A bomb was dropped also on a little island in the Seine, between Neuilly and Courbevoie, which is a favorite summer resort of Parisians. The historic shop on the He de La Jatte was smashed to pieces by an acrid-smelling bomb. An official communication regarding the raid declares it served only to show how well the defensive arrangements would work out when put to the test. ERIE POST OFFICE ROBBED NEWS BRIEFS.

Few housewives realize the value of honey, yet in sweetening qualities it surpasses sugar Grapefruit, for instance, is much enhanced by a treat' ment with honey. Prepare as you would for breakfast when sugar i s used, only prepare the night before. Spread the fruit with a thick layer of honey and let stand till morning. It will then be found that the fruit has absorbed the honey. Apples baked with honey are another delicacy not too well known. In this recipe also the apples are prepared just the same as though for sugar. For six or eight apples take four tableBpoonfuls of honey. Mix with one cupful of fine bread crumbs and a hajf teaspoonful each of cinnamon and lemon extract Fill the apples, which have been peeled and cored, with the mixture and bake in a porcelain-lined baking dish that has been well greased. For bread pudding make a custard, using one cupful milk and three tablespoonfuls honey and a pinch of salt Bring to the boiling point and add two well-beaten eggs. Take from the fire and stir till cool, then pour over stale bread toasted lightly and dusted lightly with cinnamon. Bake in a moderate oven half an hour. Spice cake can be much improved by using boney instead .of sugar. Cream together one scant cupful butter and one and one-half cupfula honey. Add alternately two wellbeaten eggs, one-half cupful milk, three cupfuls flour in which two teaspoonfuls baking powder have been sifted, one cupful each of raisins and currants and due tablespoonful allspice. Bake In a moderate oven until brown. USING FRUIT THAT IS SOFT Various Methods by Which It May Be Prepared in Appetizing Way for the Table. Any fresh fruit that has become soft should be cooked at once with a little sugar added to make a sauce, or It can be made into jelly. Any left-over canned fruit may be rubbed through a sieve and used for a sauce. It may be put into ice cream or molded into a cornstarch or rice mixture. Apple parings and cores should be stewed to a pulp and then strained. This will make a Jelly which, spread on apple tart, will greatly improve i t It can also be uBed for flavoring tapioca pudding. Orange peel and lemon peel may be used for flavoring sauces and stewed fruits. They can be dried and kept in a glass-covered jar until used. Tomato Sauce for Baked Eggplant One-half can tomatoes, one-half tea- Bpoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful butter, one teaspoonful sugar. Let these cook 20 minutes. Mix one teaspoonful cornstarch with a little water and add to tomatoes. Cook two minutes. Strain through a sieve. Mix the yolk of one egg in a saucepan with one tablespoonful cold water. Add tomatoes, stirring constantly. Return a few minutes to the fire. Heat to boiling point but do not allow to boil. Add a little cream* Serve at once. The Housekeeper's Reminder. March.

Claymore tavern did change own* era. When I heard that a man by the name of Scoville had bought It, I went over to see Scoville. He was the man. Then I began to" ask myself what I ought to do with my knowledge, and the more I asked myself this question and the more I brooded over the matter the less did I feel like taking, not the public, but my father, Into my confidence. I had never donbted his love for me, but I had always stood in great awe of his reproof, and I did not know where I was to find courage to tell him all the details of this adventure. There is one thing I did do, however. I made certain inquiries here and there, and soon satisfied myself as to how Scoville had been able to come Into town, commit this horrid deed and escape without any one but myself being the wiser. Spencer and he had come from the West en route to New York without any intention of stopping off in Shelby. But once Involved in play they had got so interested that when within a few miles of the town, Spencer proposed that they should leave the train and, finish the game in his own house. Whether circumstances aided them, or Spencer took some extraordinary precautions against being recognised, will never be known. But certain It Is that he escaped all observation at the station and even upon the road. When Scoville returned alone, the storm had reached such a height that the roads were deserted, and he, being an entire stranger here at that time, naturally attracted no attention, and so was able to slip away on the next train with just the drawback of buying a new ticket I, a boy of fifteen, trespassing where I did not belong, was the only living witness of what had happened on this night of dreadful storm, in the house which was now a ruin. I realized the unpleasantness of 'the position In which this put me, but not its responsibility. If I were going to do anything I should hate done It at first—so I reasoned, and let the matter slide. I became interested in I. felt that if he had such doubts, they might be eased by this certainty of Scovtlle'a murderous tendencies and unquestionable greed. And they were; but as Scoville was already doomed, we decided that it was unnecessary to make public his past offenses. However, with an eye upon future contingencies, my father exacted from me in writing this full account of my adventure, which with all the solemnity of an oath I here declare to be the true story of what befell me in the house called Spencer's Folly, on the night of awful storm, September 11, 1895.

This was the document and these the words whtehV-Oeborah, widow of the man thus doubly denounced, bad been given to read by the father of the writer, in the darkened room which had been and still was to her, an abode of brooding thought and unfathomable mystery. No wonder tbat during its reading more than one exclamation of terror and dismay escaped her. There were so many reasons for believing this record to be an absolute relation of the truth. Incoherent phrases which had fallen from those long-closed lips took on new meaning with this unveiling of an unknown past Repugnances for which she could not account in those old days, she now saw explained. He would never, even in passing, give a look at the ruin on the bluff, so attractive to every eye but his own. As for entering its gates—she had never dared ao much as to ask him to do so. Then the watch! Deborah knew well that watch. She had often asked him by what stroke of luck he had got so fine a timepiece. God! was her mind veering back to her old idea as to his responsibility for the crime committed in Dark Hollow? Tea; she could not' help it. Denial from a monster like this—a man who with such memories and such spoil, could return home to wife and child, with some gay and confused story of a great stroke in speculation which had brought him in the price of the tavern it had long been his ambition to own—what was denial from such lips worth? The Judge was. right Oliver—whose ingenuous story had restored his image to her mind, with some of its old graces—had been the victim of circumstances and not John Scoville. Her thoughts had reached this stage and her hand, in obedience to the new mood, was lightly ruffling up the pages before her, when she felt a light touch on her shoulder and turned with a start The judge was at her back. How long he had stood there she did not know, nor did be say, but when upon feeling his hand upon her shoulder she turned, he was there; and while his lips failed to spealv his eyes vera eloquent and their question single and imperative, ,rWhat do you think of him now?" they seemed to ask, and rising to her feet she met him with a smile, ghastly perhaps with the lividnesa of the shadows through which she had been groping, but encouraging withal and soothing beyond measure to his anxious and harassed soul "Oliver is Innocent" she declared, turning once more to lay her hand In a flash Deborah was out of the room. When the Judge at last came forth, it was at Reuther'e bidding. A gentleman wished to see him in the parlor With a dark glance, not directed against her, however, the judge bade her run away to the kitchen and as far from all these troubles as she could, then, locking his door behind him. as he always did, he strode towards the front He found Deborah standing guard over an Ill-conditioned fellow, whose slouching figure slouched still mora under his eye, but gave no other acknowledgment of his presence. Passing him without a second look, Judge Ostr&nder found > Mr. Black awaiting him. Tbere was no bad blood-between these two, whatever their past relations or present BUsplcionB, and they were soon, shaking htmds with ©very appearance of mutual cordiality. The Judge was especially courteous "I am glad," said he, "of any occasion which brings you again under my roof, though frpin the appearance of your companion I judge the present one to be of no very agreeable character." "Judge, I'm your friend;" thus Mr. Black began. "Thinking you must wish to know who started the riotous procedure which disgraced our town today, I have brought the ringleader you wish to question him. Judge Ostrander wheeled about, gave the man a searching look, and failing to recognize him as any one he had ever seen before, beckoned him in. "I suppose," said he. when the lounging and insolent figure was fairly before their eyes, "that this is not the first time you have been asked to explain your enmity to my long-absent son." "Naw; I've had my talk wherever and whenever I took the notion. Oliver Ostrander hit me once. 1 was jest a little chap then and meanin' no harm to any one. I kept a-pesterin' of 'lm and he hit me. He'd a better have hit a feller who hadn't my memory. I've never forgiven that hit, and I never will. That's why I'm hittin' him now. It's Just my turn; that's all." "Your turn! Your turn! And what do you think has given you an opportunity to_turn on him?" "I'm not In the talkin' mood Just now," the fellow drawled, frankly insolent, not only in his tone but In hi a for all his sly innuendoes), Ao, therefore, hindered the lawyer from his purpose, by a quick gesture of so much dignity and resolve that even the lout himself was impressed and dropped some of his sullen bravado "1 have something to aay to this fellow." he announced "Perhaps he does not know his folly. Perhaps he thinks because I was thrown aback today by those public charges against my son and a string of insults (or which no father could he prepared, that 1 am seriously disturbed over the position into which such unthinking men as himself have pushed Mr Oil ver Ostrander I might be if there were truth in these charges or any serious reason for connecting my upright and honorable son with the low crime of s highwayman. But there is not I aver it and so will this lady here whom you have doubtless recognised for the one who has stirred this matter up. You can bring no evidence to show guilt on my son's part"—these words he directed straight at the discomfited poster of bills—"because there is no evidence to bring." Mr. Black's eyes sparkled with admiration. He could not have used this method with the lad, but he recognized the Insight of the man who could. bribes were a sign of weakness, so were force and counter-attack; but scorn—a calm ignoring of the power of any one to seriously shake Oliver here to answer for himself—that is. if Ostrander'S established position—that membrance came back upon me with a rush. A man—my father's friendwas found murdered in sight of this spot of old-time horror, and Scoville was accused of the act I was older now and saw my fault In all Its enormity. I was guilty of that crime—or so I felt In the first heat of sty sorrow and despair. 1 may even hare said so—in djeesns or lit some of my self-absorbed blooding* Though 1 certainly had not lifted the stick against Mr. Wheridgo, I had left the hand free which did, and this wag a sufficient ooeaslon for remorse—or so I truly felt I was JO affected by the thought that even my father, with Us own weight of troubles, noticed ay careworn face gad asked a o for an explanation Bit I hold him off until the vardiet wag ranked, and them I told him. 1 hod not sited Mi looks for. they soemod to the Jaatfea of that maa•• shoot his host for plunder is capable of a second crime holding out a similar Inducement Nothing now will ever make me connect Oliver with the crime at the bridge.

Her eyes were stlD resting mechanically upon tbat last page lying spread out before her, and she did not observe in Its fun glory tho first gleam of triumphant Joy which, la an probability, Judge Ostrander'S countenance had shown in yearn. Nor did he see* la the glad confusion of ta* moment tbo quick shudder with which she lifted her trembling hand away from thotfo paper* and look** an, aouarely at last.

I'm an honest hardworkln' man who can earn his own livin', and you can't pay me to keep still, or to go away* from Shelby a day sooner than I want to. I was goin' away, but I gave it up when they told me that things were bcginnln' to look black against 01 Ostrander—that a womaa-had come into town who was a-stirrtn' up things generally about that old murder for which a feller had already been lectrocuted, and knowin' somethin' myself about that murder and 01 Ostrander, I—well, I stayed." The quiet threat, the suggested possibility, the attack which wraps itself In vague uncertainty, are ever tho most effective. As his raucous voice, dry with sinister purpose which no man could shake, died out In an off en* sire drawl, Mr. Blank odgad a stop nearer tho judge, before ho sprang and caught tho :ouag fellow by tho coat, collar and gave him a very rigorous shake.'

If you're satisfied at thfnkln' my word's no good, that's your business. I know how I should feel if I was 01 Ostrander's father and knew what I know." "Let him go," spoke up a wavering voice. It was Deborah's. But the Judge was deaf to the warning. Deborah's voice had but reminded him of Deborah's presence Its tone had escaped him. He was too engrossed In the purpose he had in mind to notice shades of inflection. But Mr. Black had. and quick as thought he echoed her requeue "He is forgetting himself. Bet him go, Judge Ostrander." But that astute magistrate, wise in all other causes hut his OWJI, was no more ready now than before to do this "In a moment," he conceded "Let me first make sure that this man understands me. I have said that there exists oo evidence against my son. This I aver; and this the lady here will aver. You have probably already recognized her. If not, allow me to tell you that she is the lady whose efforts have brought back this case to the public mind: Mrs. Scoville, the wife of John Scoville and the one of all others who has the greatest interest In proving her husband's innocence. If she says, that after the most careful inquiry and a conscientious reconsideration of this case, she has found herself forced to come to the conclusion that justice has already been satisfied in this matter, you will believe her, won't you?" "I don't know," drawled the man, a low and cunning expression lighting up his ugly countenance "She wants to marry her daughter to your son. Any live dog is better than a dead one; I guess her opinion don't go for much." Recoiling before a cynicism that pierced with unerring skill the one Joint in his armor he knew to be vulnerable, the Judge took a minute in which to control his rage and then addressing the half-averted figure in the window said: Mrs. Scoville. will you assure this man that you have no expectations of marrying your daughter to Oliver Ostrander?" With a slow movement more suggestive of despair than any she had been seen to make since the hour of her indecision had first struck, she shifted in her seat and finally faced them, with the assertion: "Reuther Scoville will never marry Oliver Ostrander. Whatever my wishes or willingness In the matter, she herself is so m determined. Not because she does not believe in his integrity, for she does; but because she will not unite herself to one whose prospects In life are more to her than her own happiness." The fellow stared, then laughed: "She's a goodun/^he sneered. "And you believe that bdshf Mr. Black could no longer contain himself 1 believe you are the biggest rascal In town," he shouted.

The most recent advices from all points in Western Canada report, that conditions are apparent for an early spring. Farmers are going over the implements, getting their seeders ready for operation, the plows in shape for extended breaking, and there is a general optimism. A great many new settlers have already arrived, and the reports from Canadian Government agents in the United States point to the fact that in a few days there will begin the usual emigration from various of the Central and Western states. From the Eastern states the number of farmers going to Canada will be greater than in any past year. There has been a fairly large snowfall during the winter, which will greatly add to the precipitation of last fall, which in the opinion of oldtimers was in itself sufficient to insure a good crop during the present year. There will be very little tilled land that will be without a crop this year. The authorities, though, are pleading with the tanners to seed only such land as has had careful preparation, for rich as is the soil of Western Canada, it is no more fitted to produce good crops uncultivated than is that of any other land anywhere else. There have been accounts of failures in some portions of the agricultural districts of Western Canada, and also reports of small yields in some districts. A good deal of this is accounted for from the fact that notwithstanding the advice of men of experience, there are farmers who will persist in seeding land not properly prepared. This may be done this year, but those who cultivate on reasonable and logical methods will be certain of a paying crop. There is every reason to believe that the high prices of all kinds of grain will continue. With thousands and thousands of acres of land waiting for the husbandman to bring it forth with a crop, it is no wonder that Western Canada is continuing to prove such an inviting field for the agriculturist. 8eventy million dollars Is a conservative estimate of orders which came to Canada as the direct result of the war. Governments of the allies have been placing large orders in Canada and buying huge Quantities of supplies for cash. The total value of exports to Europe from Canada has Jumped about 15 per cent Bince the war started, while in certain lines the increases have been enormous. Therefore the results of the demand of the allies for war and other material 1B beginning to be felt in the financial life of the Dominion.

Those arrested during tbe fiscal year of 1914 took $68,000,000 of t h i s t o t a l , $14,000,000 more than those arrested In 1913 and $16,000,000 more than those arrested In 1912, which seems to Indicate that the American public is becoming leas rather than more sophisticated. Analysis of the annual reports of the !post office department for the fiscal jyear 1914, recently printed for public (distribution, with analysis of the four .preceding annual reports, gives the (figures mentioned. In considering the tribute which Americans are yielding each year to the mall swindlers it ishould be noted, however, that the total of $351,000,000, great as it is. is but ^a part of the stupendous total tribute which goes into dishonest pockets via the mail route each twelve months 'For the $351,000,000 is the estimate of the federal authorities of the haul only of those persons arrested. By no means all the mail swindlers 'pf the United States are arrested: fraud orders do the work of stopping their operations in some instances; In others it is impossible for the post office inspectors to obtain the evidence which would justify criminal court action; In still others the activities of the swindlers never come to the attention of the authorities at all Thus it is obvious that the loot of those arrested is but a part—no man can say how small or great a part—of the total sum of money filched each year by mail sharpers from the American pocketbook. The following is the record of the money estimated to have been obtained by mail swindlers actually arrested in the years mentioned* 1914 $68,000,000 1913 54.000.000 1912 52,000.000 1911 77,000.000 1910 100,000.000 XHxszrza&npz GKTB&VU, JLM3.BZ£RZZSCW Total $351,000,000 The number of persons arrested during the years tabulated was 2,861. If the money obtained had been divided equally between them each would have had a dishonest gain of $122,684, proof of tbe lucrative nature of swindles which are carried on by use of the mails. There were more arrests in 1914 than in any of the other years under consideration, the record of arrests and convictions being as follows: Arrests Convictions 1914 1913 1912 1911 1910 762 510 572 497 ........520 370 304 263 184 Not stated The division of winnings from the dupes was, however, naturally not equal; some of the promoters of the more elaborate schemes during the five years are stated by the federal authorities to have cleared millions, while others got hundreds of thou- In other cases the post office inspectors got on the trail of the swindlers before they had a chance to fleece any large number of victims. The scope of the fraudulent mat? business in this country may be gauged to some extent from the simple state* ment that 34,000 complaints concerning schemes to defraud were made to the post office department during the last fiscal year, in addition to the routine inspections of the post offices. Approximately 100 different kinds of swindles are included in the schemes whereby the mail operators have gathered in the coin of the innocent since 1910. Schemes for stock selling and for treating disease by mail are the two swindles which have netted more money than any other kinds. In the report of the solicitor for the post of* flee department It is stated that to 1914- of the frauds suppressed through the.issuance of fraud orders—which bar the mails to the schemes specified therein — the most profitable were those operated for the treatment of disease. In 1913, on the other hand, it was stated that "the stock selling proposition seems to appeal to the public more than any other one fraud scheme unearthed." Of the medical frauds the report for 1914 tays: "These schemes were insidious, TS» ctous^ and highly detrimental to. the public welfare, while the methods pursued were the most unconscionable with which the department had to steal. 1« view of certain decisions ef the courts they were alto the most nlflkcnK wftn which successful* to "At the hearings tn acts? of these U s testimony of the proprietors amination by counsel for the government showed that they had little education of any kind, and they made absolutely no claim to any knowledge of medicine. Invariably they were merely shrewd, unscrupulous advertisers. "Generally speaking they employed some man who had graduated as a doctor, but was without much experience or practice. The business was conducted in his name, and he was featured In the literature as a man of singular ability and great scientific attainment in the medical profession, who had spent years in the study of the particular ailments which he advertised to treat and who had made wonderful discoveries of remedies which would cure the diseases represented by a number of symptoms listed in the advertisements. "It was represented that such doctor and his alleged corps of assistants would give personal attention to each case, and that they would prescribe such remedies as they should find by their superior facilities and experience were needed to the treatment of any of the diseases they advertised to cure. Even in those instances where a doctor or doctors were connected with the business this was solely for the purpose of lending color to their fraudulent representatives, and the diagnosing and prescribing were nearly always made by mere clerks.N Of the stock selling swindlers those who have netted the largest amounts are those who have dealt with mining and oil properties, although big sums have also been coaxed out of pockets of the guileless by the golden promises of fortunes to be made from buying stock in land companies and even in industrial companies. One of the worst features of the stock selling schemes is that it is largely those who can least afford to lose who buy the worthless securities. In the gray old federal building of New York there have, within the last three years, been told stories on the witness stand by dupes which might well leave a perpetual blush of shame on the face of any man guilty of such contemptible swindles. In one trial, for instance, a pale little music teacher told how, after saving for eight years, she had managed to accumulate $460. She had then read one of the prospectuses of the swindlers who were sitting at the counsel table a few feet from Tier when she was giving her evidence. This prospectus had told her that her $400 would make her rich for life if she would only forward It at once for stock tn the astounding gold mine which the swindlers "owned. She wrote to the company, stating her position and how much of setf-sscrtflce the $400 meant to her, sad received hack "a toreiy letter** from the president, tefltag lav BOW mterested he was hi her sad now esrtata he WM hesbte to grra up fag annate if she woeid only forwsrd the $400 right away. And the Tittle the mosey, and md aha half tamtaC she finished her story in the witness chair. One of the few mall swindles which touched the wealthy classes exclusively was the so-called de luxe book swindle, by which volumes worth $10 or $20 were sold to rich and ignorant book collectors for prices running up to many hundreds.- Among other swindles carried on through the mails are inducing betting on "fake" horse races and athletic contests, selling worthless goods through misrepresentations, obtaining commissions on fraudulent orders, selling divining rods for locating minerals, using forged bills of lading In cotton deals, brokerage frauds, obtaining money by impersonating other persons, obtaining goods under false pretenses, selling state rights and establishing fictitious sgencies, selling unfair gambling devices, using "no-fund" checks, matrimonial schemes, selling canceled postage stamps and Mexican money, obtaining expense money on promise to sell stocks, collecting fees for imaginary positions, selling rights to a patent many times in the same state, securing advance payments on goods not delivered, obtaining payment from relatives of deceased per* sons for goods supposed to have been ordered before death, obtaining money from alleged heirs to estates, obtaining money to assist in securing fictitious inheritances, sales of sham recipes, trading in green goods, obtaining subscriptions for nonexistent charttable institutions, running sham employment bureaus, selling interests in nonexistent moving picture theaters, selling diplomas for which no study is required, failing to distribute advertising matter as called for by contract, and blackmail. In 1914 more fraud orders were issued than has been the esse for some time. In 1910 the post office authorities began to issue fewer fraud orders than had been customary in tbe belief that It would be better to prosecute criminally those operating fraudulent schemes. Whereas la 1909 there were 325 fraud orders, in 1910 there were but 131, and in 1911 only 77. There wss a still farther decrease la 1911. tbe number being 19. while tn 1913 there were only three fraud orders issued. The number in 1914 wss 46. It has been found that criminal prosecution is not always successful la stopping the operations indeed, the departmental reports state that in tome cases the swindlers hare eontinned the operation of their business daring arrest, trial, conviotkm and lav prtsotiment—-whereas frsnd ardors bar the mails to the operators of thw scheme. Tans the department Is now using both trend orders and Its Uncertainties. "Do you believe there is going to be a erase for baseball this season T "I guess that's a matter of pitch and toss."

Among the Mott Beautiful of Plants Are the Different Varieties of Ferhe, Cool Looking and Luxuriant. CARE OF THE PERNS By L. M. BENNINGTON. The ordinary way to propagate this class of plants is by dividing the plants, by the creeping rhizomes, by the little bulblets that form on the fronds and by the seeds or spores that appear on the under side of the leaves. The enterprising fern lover will find It most Interesting to propagate by spores and psrchance produce a really valuable addition to these beautiful and graceful plants. Procure a seed-pan or box with plenty of drainage holes, and cover the bottom with broken crockery. On KEEP LAWN WELL ROLLED To make a good lawn the soil requires frequent rolling. In the first place a good lawn cannot be produced in one, two or three years, that Is, a perfect lawn, without depression and with a soil surface as smooth as a floor. A lawn roller can be made, without much expense, from cement, using gas pipe for the axle and frame. The form for setting the cement may be of wood, using very narrow slats or galvanized iron. In case the latter is used, the form may be left on the roller, and if it is kept dry and protected from the weather, It will last a long time. A handy size for a lawn roller Is one about 20 inches long by 14 Inches In . diameter. If one has the proper tools, which consist of a vise and a thread-cutting tool, a roller can be made in a short time, and at very little expense. FIGHTING THE FLOWER BUGS If the leaves of your plants carl up look for Insects. If red spider deluge the plant (not the soil) wlfh clear, cold water. If aphis, fumigate with tobacco or wash them with strong soap suds, or with a tea made Of quassia chips, as hot as the hand can For white worms, let the soil get i dry aa may be, then set the pot a vessel containing quite hot war, taking care not to scald the Or, set the dry pot into a thiB place half-decayed sod and fill with carefnlly mixed and sifted leafmold and sand. Make the surface of the soil perfectly smooth and level, and then scat ter the spores on it and leave them without any covering, that is, of soil. However, they must be inclosed in glass by placing a pane of glass over the seed-box or pan. Water by placing the seed-pan in water, and keep it there until the water appears on the Burface of the soil. Then remove at once, for too much water will destroy the spores. Keep the box in the light, but not the sun, remembering that ferns naturally grow in shady places and that we should try to follow nature's lead. vessel containing llmewater until thoroughly saturated; or make a strong tea of black pepper, and saturate the soil. If Insects appear on the ferns, apply fir-tree oil soap suds, dipping the plant so that it may be entirely covered. The bath may injure the plant, in inexperienced Bands, but the Insects will kill i t Try to use judgment When you find a plant or plants with lice on them, have ready a large tight box and cover the bottom of it with an inch of cut tobacco stems. On this sprinkle a little boiling water, set the plants at once on the tobacco, cover tightly and leave for twenty-four hours. The lice will be sick if not dead. Repeat if necessary.

They are made and handled like a coldframe, but are built in a three-foot-deep excavation which is filled to the level of the earth with fresh stable manure, which for a few days has been fermented and forked and fermented again. It must be trodden down and, when the soil is at 90 degrees temperature, covered with six inches of rich soil. Bank up the outside. When the sun shine* the temperature of the air in the bed may be 70 to 80 and at other timet 65 to SO degrees. A hotbed extends the season of tender annuals by making possible an early start for transplanting in May. The Biggest Fool.

"The great cities of the world," he said, "are all the time affording the means of their own destruction. It is not practible to bring up children in the big cities because of the moral dan gera that exist in them." These facts, then, afford ample excuse for the many movements under way to keep young people in the country and on the farms. These movements demand the most enthusiastic support and the wisest direction. To the citizens of rural communities this means that they most improve couditions and increase the opportunities and attractions of rural life until they are such as to offset those now thought to be afforded by the city.

Beer and Bread O. N. Marvin, editor Sentinel Post, say8 we are in receipt of an offer from the Master Brewers Association to furnish us ready made plates of articles in defence of beer. We decline the offer Mr. Brewer; your comparison of bread and beer is but one of many that might be made of things as wide apart as Heaven and Hell. The world needs every bushel of grain for food---for bread; it needs none for beer. The exhilaration that beer gives to the user is the hypocrite of human emotions, deceiving him into thinking that it gives him strength, but the most careful soieoti6o tests have shown that beer weakens the user. To liken beer to bread is sacrilege. Beer is a product of the life-giving cereals, but it the Judas Iscariot of the family. M.E. 8 . Pinckney, Michigan, within said township, on Monday, April 5, A.

Don't Make The Mistake Of thinking that you're savins money by not advertising that old furniture in the garret; those useless implements in the shed; that old buggy in the barn; that cow you want to sell if you had a buyre- all the things for which you have no use. As a matter of fact you are saving money for the want ad, but sacrificing the dollars that might be "gained by making the sales, to say nothing of the satisfaction of trading useless stuff (to you) for actual money, and letting someone else take what you have to use. There's hardly anything that someone can't use--read the Want Ads today and see. Use them yourself at lc per word.

HIGHER RATES ARE HELD UP New Freight Schedule On Live Stock Is Objected To. Lansing—On the petition of the Michigan Livestock Dealers' association and several individual shippers of stock, the state railroad commission Friday suspended completely a new schedule of rates for livestock which the railroads had planned to put Into effect next Monday. The complainants aver that the new rates wonM be so high as to be almost confiscatory. Tariffs hare been filed with the commission for some time, bet the petitions against them filed Friday constitute the first objection on record.

The railroads opposed by the dealers' association are the New York Central (including the Lake Shore), Grand Trunk, the Pere Marquette, Michigan Central and Ann Arbor, while individual parties fQe petitions against the Detroit k.

Ferris has appointed Alof Manistee, as ctr- Lansing—The state board of health is to have $10,000 additional added to its regular appropriation this session, which Secretary Burkart says will be used to fight tuberculosis for the state board of health Is $15,000. The house committee has reported out favorably a bill carrying a $25,000 appropriation, and this additional amount will be expended in a fight against the white plague. "1 wish the amount could have been larger, so that we could have proven to the people that the money would be well expended," said Dr. Burkart. "However, I think that by careful figuring we can show $50,000 results with the $10,000 we will devote to fighting the disease." This amount that will be expended fighting tuberculosis and the appropriations given the two sanatoriums will assist materially in lending state aid to what private individuals will do during the next two years. The house committee on public health has favorably reported ~ the state board of healths bill providing that, while power shall remain with the governor to appoint the secretary of the board; who shall also be the administrative officer of the department, the board shall designate who shall be appointed. The bill has already passed the senate. The board, before having the bill introduced, asked the present secretary, Dr. Burkart, if this arrangement would be agreeable to him. The doctor assured them that it would be. The understanding is that the board, as soon as the bill becomes a law, win designate Dr. Burkart for secretary for a full term of six years, and that Gov. Ferris will appoint him. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST While trying to drive across the Grand Trunk tracks ahead of a fast passenger train near Otterburn Saturday night.

A curious crowd of neighbors Invade the mysterious home of Judge Ostrander, county Judge and eccentric recluse, following a veiled woman who proves to be the-widow of a man tried before the judge asti electrocuted for murder years before. Her daughter Is engaged to the judge's son. from whom he is estranged, but the murder Is between the lovers. She plans to clear her husband's memory and asks the Judge's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story of the murder of Algernon Etheridge by John Scovillo In Dark Hollow, twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Scovllie meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how. on the day of the murder, Bhe saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The Judge engages her aid her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer. Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded in It Deborah and Reuther go to live with the judge. Deborah sees & portrait of Oliver, the judge's son, with a black band painted across the eyes. That night she finds, In Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point Anonymous letters and a talk with Miss Weeks Increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was In the ravine on the murder night Black warns her and shows her other anonymous letters hinting at Oliver's guilt In the court room the judge Is handed an anonymous note. The note is picked up ar\d read aloud. A mob follows the Judge to his home. Deborah tells him why suspicion hat been aroused against Oliver. CHAPTER XIII—Continued. Once within the room, he became his courteous self once more. "Be seated," he begged, indicating a chair to the half gloom. As she took It, the room sprang into sudden light He had polled the string which regulated the curtains over the glased panes in the celling. Then as quickly all was gloom again; he had let the string ee- . cape from his hand. "Half light is better/' he muttered in vague apology. It was a weird beginning to an Interview whose object was as yet in* comprehensible to her. One minute a blinding glimpse of the room whose details were so varied that many of them still remained unknown to her— the next, everything swept again into shadow through which the tall form of the genius of the place loomed with melancholy suggestion! She was relieved when he spoke. "Mrs. Scoville (not Deborah now) have you any confidence in Oliver's word? Has there ever been anything in his conversation as you knew it in Detroit to make you hesitate to reply?" the judge persisted, as she continued speechless. "No; nothing. I have every confidence in his assertions. I should have yet, if it were not for this horror." "Forget it for a moment Recall his effect upon you as a man, a prospective son-in-law—for you meant him to marry Reuther." "I trusted him. I would trust him in many ways yet.H "Would you trust him enough to believe that he would tell you the truth if you aaked him point-blank whether his hands were clean of crime V Tea." The word came 1A a whisper; but there was no wavering in i t She had felt the conviction dart like an arrow through her mind that Oliver might slay a man In his h a t e - might even conceal his guilt for years —but that he could not lie about It when brought faoe to face with an accuser like herself. T h e n I win let you read something he wrote at my request those many years ago: An experience—the tale of one awful Bight, the horrors of which, locked within his mind and mine, have never been revealed to a third person- That yon should share our secret now, Is not only necessary, but fitting. It becomes the widow of John Scoville to know what sort of a man she persists In regarding innocent Wait for ana.'* With a qnick step he wound his way among the various encuaubertag pieces of furniture to his bedroom, jgere he lingered so long that wttssovt nay conscious ToUtton of her own sss) found herself on her feet, tat ahe had not had time to reseat terasif when ahe beheld adm annroaehiafwtth the handle of loose sheets clutched In his hand.

Thank God! the manuscript was legible. Oliver's handwriting possessed the clearness of print She had begun^o read before she knew it, and having begun, she never paused till she reached the end, I was fifteen. It was my birthday and I had nay own ideas of how I wanted to spend it My hobby was modelling. My father had no sympathy with this hoLby. To him it was a waste of time better apent in study or such sports as would fit me for study. When on the day I mention I had a few hours of freedom, I decided to begin the remodeling in clay of an exquisite statue which had greatly aroused my admiration. This statue stood la a forbidden pk.ce. It was one of the art treasures of the great house on the bluff commonly called Spencer's Folly. I had seen this marble once, when dining there with father, and was so impressed by its beauty that it haunted me night and day. The boy of fifteen would attempt the impossible. I procured my clay and then awaited my opportunity. It came, as I have said, on my birthday. There was no one living in the house at this time. Mr. Spencer had gone West for the winter. The servants had been dismissed, and the place closed. What to every other person in town would have seemed an insuperable obstacle to this undertaking, was no obstacle to me. I knew how to get in. "I Want You to Sit Here .and Read," SaJdjHs. One day in my restless wanderings about a place which had something of the nature of a shrine to me, I had noticed that one of the windows (a swinging one) overlooking the ravine moved aa the wind took i t Bather the lock had given way or It had not been properly fastened. If T could only bring myself to disregard the narrowness of the ledge separating the house from the precipice beneath I felt that 1 eould reach this window and sever the tines sufficiently for my body to press in; and this I did that night I let myself go—I had to—and immediately found myself «»««"ftig upright in n spsee so narrow I could touch the wnBs on either side. It was a closet I had entered, opening into the huge dining halt where I had once sat beside my father at the one formal meal of my life. I remembered that room; it had made n grant impression upon me, and some Ught finding its way through the panes of nnenrtalned glass which topped each of the three windows orersoekinf the ravine, X noon was ante to the door teasing Into the drawing before the glimmering marble and unrolled my bundle of wet clay. I began my work, then I began to realize a little the nature of the task I had undertaken and to ask myself whether if I stayed ail night I could finish it to my mind, it was during one of these momenta of hesitation that I heard the first growl of distant thunder. But the thunder growled again and my head rose, this time in real alarm A man—two men were entering by the great front door. I beard a loud laugh, and the tipsy exclamation of a voice I knew: "There! shut the door, can't you, before It's blown from its hinges? You'll find 37erything jolly r ere. Wine. lights, solitude, in which to finish our game and a roaring good opportunity to sleep afterwards." The answer I failed to catch I was simply paralyzed by terror. As the door of the room opened to admit them, I succeeded in shutting that of the closet into which I had flung myself— or almost so. I did not dare to latch it, for they were already in the room and might hear ma "This is the spot for us," came in Spencer's most jovial tones. "Big table, whisky handy, cards right here in my pocket, ^yait. till I strike a light!" ~ A gas jet shot up, then two, then all that the room contained. "How's that? What's a flash more or less now!" I beard no answer, only the slap of the cards as they were flung onto the table; then the clatter of a key as it turned in some distant lock. The bottles were brought forward and they sat down one on each side of the dusty mahogany table. The man facing me was Spencer, the other sat with his back my way. "We'll play till the hands point to three," announced Spencer, taking out his watch and laying it down where both could see i t "Do you agree to that?—unless I win and your funds go a-begging before that hour." "I agree." The tone was harsh; it was almost smothered. The man was staring at the watch; there was a strange set look to his figure; a pausing as of thought—of sinister thought I should now say; then I never stopped to characterize it; it was followed too quickly by a loud laugh and a sudden grab at the cards. "You'll win! I feel It in my bones," came In encouraging tones from the rich man. "If you do"—here the storm lulled and bis voice sank to an encouraging whisper—"you can buy the old tavern up the road. It's going for a song; and then we'll be neighbors and can play—play—" . . . The bills had all* gone one way. They fell within Spencer's grasp. Sud> denly hard upon a rattling peal which seemed to unite heaven and earth, I heard shouted out: "Half-past two! The game stops at three." "Damn your greedy eyes!" came back in a growl. Then all was still, fearfully still, both in the atmosphere outside and In that within, during which I caught sight of the stranger's hand moving slowly around to his back and returning as slowly forward, all under cover of the table-top and a stack of half-empty bottles. "I can buy the Claymore tavern, can I? Well, I'm going to," rang out into the air as the speaker leaped to his feet "Take that, you cheat! And that! And that!" And the shots rang out—one, two, three! Spencer was dead in his Folly. I had seen him rise, throw up his hands and then fall in a heap among the cards and glasses. Then the man who stood there alone turned slightly and I saw his face. I have seen it many times since; I have seen It at Claymore tavern. He put the weapon hack in his pocket and began gathering up the money. When every bill was in his pockets he reached out his hand for the watch. Then I saw him smile. He smiled as he shut the case, he smiled as he plunged it in after the bills. Next moment I woke to a realization of myself and all the danger of my own position. I had the instinct to make a leap for the window over my head and clutch at its narrow sill in a wild attempt at escape. But the effort ended precipitately. He was coming toward me—a straining, panting figure—half carrying, half dragging, the dead man who flopped aside from his arms. My senses blurred and I knew nothing till on a sudden they cleared again, and I woke to the blessed realisation that the door had been pushed against my slender figure, hiding it completely from his sight snd that this door was now closed again and this time tightly, and I was safe—safe! The relief sent the perspiration in a reek from every pore; hot the icy revulsion cams quickly. As I drew up to gat a hotter purchase on the em, heavens torch was suddenly lit Hjcameapitef aand wkk* I saw body, with the wall and . I 1 wl ich would rid me Instantly of an3 pro.-imity to this hideous object I flung myself at It—found the knob— turned It and yelled aloud—my foot had brushed against him. 1 knew the difference and it sent me palpitating over the threshold; but no farther. Love of life had returned with my escape from that awful prison house, and I halted in the semldarkneas into which I had plunged, thanking heaven for the thunder peal which had drowned my loud cry. For I was not yet safe. He was still there- He had turned out all lights but one. He had not seen me and was going. I could hear the sound of bis feet as he went stumbling in his zigzag course towards the door. Then every sound both on bis part and on mine was lost in a swoop of down-falling rain and I remember nothing more till out of the blackness before me, he started again into view, within the open doorway where in the glare of what he called heaven'B candles he stood, poising himself to meet the gale which seemed ready to catch him up and whirl him with other inconsequent things into the void of i nothingness. Then darkness settled J again and I was left alone with Murder— all the innocence of my youth • * l *». He Had Not Seen Me and Was Going. gone, and my soul a very enamel house. I had to re-enter that closet; had to take the only means of escape proffered. But I went through it as we go through the horrors of nightmare. I simply did it and escaped a l l - lightning flash and falling limb, and the lasso of swirling winds—to find myself at last lying my full length along the bridge amid a Bhock of elements such as nature seldom sports with. Here I clung, for I was breathless, waiting with head buried in my aim for the rain to abate before I attempted a further escape from the place which held such horror for me! But no abatement came, and feeling the bridge shaking under me almost to cracking, I began to crawl, Inch by Inch, along its gaping boards till I reached its middle. There God stopped me. For, with a clangor as of rending worlds, a bolt hot from the tenlth, sped down upon the bluff behind me, throwing me down again upon my face and engulfing sense and understanding for one wild moment Then I sprang upright and with a yell of terror aped across the rocking hoards beneath me to the road, no longer battling with my desire to look hack; no longer asking myself when and how that dead man would be found; no longer even asking my own duty in the case; for Spencer's Folly was on fire and the crime I had just seen perpetrated there would soon be s crime stricken from the sight of men forever. In the flare of its tremendous burning I found my way up through the forest road to my home and into my father's presence. He like everybody else was up that night, and already alarmed at my continued absence. "Spencer's Folly is on fire," I cried, as he cast dismayed eyes at my pallid and dripping figure. "If you go to the door, you can see it!" But I told him nothing more. Perhaps other hoys of my age can understand my silence. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Skunks Enemies of Caterpillar*.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM EATING TOO MUCH MEAT Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat Forms Uric Acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the elimlnative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained In the blood to poison tbe entire system. J When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains In tbe back or the urine ia cloudy, full of sediment, or tbe bladder Is Irritable, obliging you to seek relief during tbe night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dlrry spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes aad lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate* clogged kidneys, to neutralise the acids in urine so it is BO longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.

In planting a perennial flower garden one must spare a corner, or atrip of ground, for the hardy bulba which come up from year to year with very little care, excepting the general care which flower lovers all give to their gardens such as keeping the weeds down, fertilizing the ground in the fall, and loosening the earth in the springtime. Scilla Siberlca is very satisfactory, it being one of the first bright-blue flowers to greet us, for it comes in crocus time. Then there Is the Scilla Campanulata, or Spanish bluebell. These bulbs, grown in masses with snowdrops, grape and feathered hyacinths, are charming In effect My crocuses are planted in the lawn and are done blooming before the mowing machine is run over that part of the grass. I find the Roman hyacinth will Increase from year to year if left in the ground. ^ While Roman hyacinths are catalogued as not hardy, 1 have them here In my garden in southern Connecticut, and their sweet, graceful blossoms greet one in May time, if I give them a very light covering of rough manure late In the fall. In my hardy bulb border I have some old-fashioned double white tulips, and these with a few of the Cottage Garden tulips of brilliant colorings make a gay'showing all through May. They may be left in the ground from year to year and need no winter protection. All There. "She talks like a book." "Tea, the volume of her speech is truly wonderful!"—Judge.

Teachers and parents alike are realizing the added benefits, both mental and physical, to the child student of nature from work in the great out of doors. The elementary classes In the public schools of New York are allowed fcO minutes a week, divided into two periods of 45 minutes each, for nature study. Vacant lots adjacent to the schools are converted into gardens, where practical Instruction is given out of doors. Prises are offered the children for the best results in the school garden and added interest is given by a reward for a continuation of the good J KEEPING U P J H E LAWN Kin weeds on the lawn by either pulling or cutting off the plant below the crown. Don't mow the lawn too closely during the heated term, but do not allow weeds to go to seed. Deep working, thorough pulverisation, effective fertilisation and a thorough raking and rolling down to a smooth level are all nee senary to a fine, smooth sod. Get your lawn asses of a raftslile and ask for tbo beat and Don't not old seed left work in the home garden. By securing the children's aid, permanent improvement in the physical condition of the neighborhood is assured. Deficient, ungraded children . have found great delight In the garden and have proved themselves capable of understanding how to plant and care for the crops. To this end, a brighter future has been secured for children, who, by the beneficent healing of the great Mother Nature, have found a little niche they can adequately fill in the scheme of things, and instead of a burden to the community they will become useful members of society. A commercialised farm has been secured, the earnings of which will be apportioned to the young workers as their reward. the heat is over and showers are almost sure to come, and the young grass will have several months of cool, moist weather in which to grow before winter SOME SUMMER FLOWERS A bed of nasturtiums will supply blossoms until frost comes.

Man the dtatarent varieties of a ft* m «1 OF VEAL AND CHICKEN ONE OF THE BE8T OF ALL THE ACCEPTED 8ALADS. Whether Made of Leftovers or the Fresh Material, There Are Certain Rules Which the Housewife Must Observe. Unless the salad Is to be made of leftovers, the chicken should be especially boiled, carefully seasoned while cooking and allowed to cool in the water in which it is cooked. A generous piece of yeal may be cooked at the same time with the chicken, or cold veal can be warmed over In the chicken broth or in hot Bait water, to which a few chicken bones have been added. It also should be allowed to stand in the water In which it has been heated until cold, then cut up into even dice and used the same as chicken. Where a large quantity of salad is to be made one good size chicken, freshly cooked, as a basis with, an addition of veal and SB much more canned chicken as is necessary to make up the amount required, will be found an economy of both money and labor. In boiling a chicken for salad, put into a kettle of boiling water, add a chopped onton, a couple of sticks of celery or a half teaspoonful of celery salt, a couple of bay leaves, a tablespoonful of chopped carrot and a dozen, peppercorns. Just a tiny bit of fat salt pork may be added if desired. Let the contents of the kettle boil rapidly five minutes, then push back where the water will only simmer, until the chicken is tender. Cooked in this way the dark meat will be almost as light colored as the white. Now let the chicken cool In the water in which it has been cooked. It is well to cook both chicken and veal the day before the salad is to be used. When ready to make the salad, remove the flesh from the bones, rejecting all the skin and fat, cut the meat Into dice and measure. Add as much or half as much aa veal, as desired. If the salad Is not to be served Immediately, sprinkle the meat with a little lemon Juice and §^t away. In a cold place. Cut Into dice enough crisp white celery to make about two-thirds the quantity of meat, and have ready a good mayonnaise. At serving time, mix with meat end over each quart of the mixture sprinkle a teaspoonful of Bait and half a teaspoonful of pepper. Moisten with some of the broth in which the chicken was cooked (for a dry salad is an abomination), and enough mayonnaise to coat every piece. Mix thoroughly but lightly and turn into salad bowl lined with lettuce leaves or on a platter where the leaves have been made into little cups, each sufficient to hold a helping of the salad. This looks pretty and makes the serving easier. Spread a little more mayonnaise on top of each service and garnish with stuffed olives or the little sweet red canned peppers and celery tips. A quarter pound of ahnonds blanched and quartered may be added to each pint of chicken and veal, if you desire something especially nice for a wedding or other entertainment Coffee Fritters. Coffee fritters may be made as follows: Into one-half pint of boiling hot strong coffee that has been strained, stir one-half cup butter. When this bolls up stir in one pint of flour; let cook five minutes, beating an the time, then take off and turn Into an earthen dish. When cool break fire eggs into a dish, but do not beat them, then turn one egg at a time into the cool mixture and beat with the hand till well mixed, which will be about twenty minutes. Drop the paste ia teaspoonfuls into boiling fat and fry until they crack open. Fill with coffee filling. Potato Puff. Take one-half pound of mashed potato and enrich it with a dessertspoonful of butter and a beaten egg yolk, and then add enough flour to enable you to roll the potato out on the pastry board. Cut into rounds, fold the potato paste over, wet the edges with egg yolk and pinch together. Coat with beaten egg and crumbs.

MONOPLANE IS TOO FRAIL Daring Aviator Attempta Peroendici* lar Drop to Thrill Exposition Crowd and Machine Falls Him. San Francisco—Lincoln Beachey, the aviator, was killed late Sunday when his aeroplane collapsed and plunged into San Francisco bay from a hight of 3,700 feet, while he was making an exhibition flight at the Panama-Pacific exposition. The body was recovered shortly af ter 5 o'clock. Beachey was completing his second flight of the day when the accident occurred In full view of thousands of spectators. Having previously electrified the crowd with a series of aerial somersaults, the airman sought to add an additional thrill by making one of the sensational perpendicular drops which usually featured his flights. The fatal fall was attributed to the fact that Beachey entrusted his life, for the first time in several years, to a monoplane. An exceptionally large crowd had been attracted to the fair grounds to see whether he would attempt the same breath-taking stunts in the new machine that he had performed In his biplane. On the first flight, all went well, and all the aviator's familiar tricks were indulged in with the exception of the perpendicular drop. This Beachey had saved for the climax. It proved too much of a strain for the frame of the monoplane. The machine was at an altitude of about 3,000 feet when Beachey shut off his power. For several thousand feet, it dropped head-on for the earth, and then the aviator grasped his control levers to adjust the planes for the graceful descent which had characterized his previous flights. At that point, the wings crumbled and the aeroplane, turning over and over in its fall, plunged into San Francisco bay, narrowly missing a veaael lying at the government transport docks.

Munn, Chelsea, Michigan Gone Over to the Enemy In the great fight that is on between right and wrong, Major Dan Morgan Smitn, of Chicago, who was general counsel for tho "National Model License League3, and without doubt the biggest brainiest man in the whole liquor camp, has changed his mind, It happened in this'way: Some two years ago the night before election two speakers were holding forth at Fremont, Ohio, Major Smith occupied the hall talking on the benefit of license, and Mrs. Florence Richard, President of the Ohio W. C. T. U. talked to a large crowd on the street. The next morning a blizzard raged, but on account of an engagement Mrs. Richard felt obliged to take an early car, As she was hurrying and struggling with a good sized valise a pleasant voiced gentleman said, "May I help you with your baggage:'" "Thank you, you surely may" she answered. As they entered the car they were greeted with cheers and laughter. "Well, what in the world is the matter?" efcclaini-- ed the gentleman.

They had insisted on paying the farmer's wife and as they brought them into the car one of them remarked *'I suppose that every one here will have some of this provender except Mrs, Richard, she won't because it was bought with a brewer's money". She replied, "don't be too sure about that, for years we women, have tried to get you orewera to pSi your money into bread and butter, and now that you have, we'll take some**. There were 4 8aloon keepers on the car and they with the others, cheered heartily. About midnight they reached the city, Mme going home, others to hotel*.

Then you will feel great A Cascaret to-night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep.

Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Backache or Bladder Trouble— Neutralize Acids. Uric acid in moat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead.

DAISIES ALL YEAR ROUND In the mild climate of California and pome of the southern states, daisies bloom all the year around. Tn California these flowers grow very much larger than those of the East, as do all Pacific coast flowers; but they seem to lack, brilliancy, and to manypersons are not as satisfactory. In the colder climates, of course, it is impossible to keep daisies blooming every month; but by planting different varieties some of them may be kept blooming the entire summer. The daisy is really not a domesticated flower, as a great many low-growing wild flowers are called daisies. Many varieties are classed as weeds In fact, the ox-eyed daisy which is plentiful all through New England and some of the northern states, is called white-weed., The chrysanthemum and wild asters are called daisies and really belong to the same family. While it would not be possible perhaps to have a daisy hedge in bloom all the year, still by planting the various species of daisies^ chrysanthemums and asters, some bloom could be had from April to November in all except the extreme northern states. Rosa Rugosa—Japanese Rose. The flowers are not the only beau- . while large clusters of red fruit foltiful part of this shrub, the leaves are low the bloom and persist till late in handsome enough to be grown alone j the fall.

The diplomatic service had its beginnings with the royal couriers. At first these men simply carried messages, sometimes written and sometimes, in most dangerous circumstances, merely by word of mouth, the authenticity of which was backed by a ring or token which represented the monarch sending the message. Later these trusted messengers began to receive the power to make binding agreements and conduct negotiations In behalf of their principals, staying as long as was necessary to bring their business to a conclusion. Later still they took up residence at the rival court and themselves employed messengers to carry tidings to their masters.

WOULD HAVE STATE WRITE INSURANCE MEASURE IS INTRODUCED ON REQUEST OF FEDERATION OF LABOR. BILL SIMILAR TO OHIO LAW CANAL BUILDER SAYS HE WILL RETIRE WITHIN YEAR Would Compcll Employes Operating Under Compensation Law to Take Out Policies With State. Lansing—The Michigan Federation of Labor, through its secretary. Homer -J?. Waterman, has prepared a bill proposing several changes to the present workmen's compensation act which was introduced in the legislature Thursday. It follows closely the plan of the Ohio law and provides for exclusive state Insurance. Under the present law stock and mutual liability insurance companies are allowed to write liability insurance for employers operating under the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. The state insurance department also administers similar Insurance for those employes who elect to come under the state plan. The latter plan has resulted in forcing down the rates paid by employers in many case's as much as 50 per cent and as a result there has been much cutting and slashing of rates by the stock and mutual liability companies. The new plan would mean that all employers operating under the workmen's compensation law would be compelled to take their liability insurance from The state, and would mean that over $2,000,000 annually in premiums would be turned in to the accident fund of the state insurance department. This amount is now yearly paid to stock and mutual companies. The proposed law would also prevent any employer from carrying his own risk, which many employers now do. The bill provides further for the transfer of the accident fund from the jurisdiction of the commissioner of insurance to the industrial accident board, again following the Ohio plan. Proposed changes in the present law contained in the proposed bill increase the compensation to injured employes from 50 to 66 2-3 per cent, with a maximum of $12 per week and a minimum of $5 per week.

Veteran Publisher Is Dead. Ann Arbor—Fred Slocum, formerly of Caro, one of the oldest and best known newspaper publishers in Michigan, died suddenly Saturday morning, after an illness of 10 months. He wa£ born in Holly May 25, 1859. At the age of 18 he established the Holly Advertiser, which he later sold to his brother James in 1884, and purchased the Tuscola County Advertiser, at Caro, which paper he published for more than 20 years. During his connection with the paper he filled all of the important offices of the Michigan Press association, of which he was a member for more than 30 years. I^ansing—State aid to the counties, to the amount of 50 per cent of the cost of construction and maintenance of roads, and road* built entirely bystate funds if traffic and market demands require, are provisions of a bill now being considered by the roads and bridges committee of the state house of representatives. A specified tax on all property in the state is to be used as a fund for road construction. The bill would permit of the use of convict labor in road work if the governor, the officials of state penal institutions and the highways commissioner Bhall agree upon its feasibility. Extraordinary provisions against grade accidents and injury to road surfaces are included in the bill. To bring into existence in Michigan, the center of the automobile industry, which has done more for good roads than any other agency, a system of roads second to none in the United States, the bill would place in the hands of a state highway commissioner wide powers, extending even to a restriction of county road activities when such activities are considered disadvantageous to the general plan of highway improvement throughout the state. Assistance to as high a degree as 60 per cent, where the governor and the highways commissioner believe the best interests will be served, is a provision of the bill, and main market roads may, In cases of the inability of counties to do the work, be built and maintained entirely by state funds. Washington—President Wilson has selected Monday, May 10, as the date for the Pan-American financial conference In this city, at which the ministers of finance and leading bankers of Central and South American countries will meet financiers and treasury officials of the United States to discuss the establishment of more satisfactory financial and commercial relations between the nations of the western hemisphere. In a statement Sunday night, Secretary McAdoo said all of the foreign governments had responded favorably when approached informally regarding the conference, and that formal invitations would be sent them immediately. Congress authorized the conference and appropriated $50,- 000 for expenses', "The secretary of the treasury," said Mr. McAdoo, "is given authority to invite, in his discretion, representative American bankers to participate in the conference. This discretion will be exercised so as to secure the attendance of as large a number as is practicable of our representative financiers, in order that a thorough and comprehensive discussion may be had of existing financial conditions throughout the western hemisphere, and of the measures that should be adopted to strengthen financial and trade relations between the United States and our Central and South American neighbors. "The secretary of commerce, the members of the federal reserve board, the secretary of state and all other members of the cabinet will be asked to attend the conference. A similar invitation will be extendetk^to the diplomatic representatives of the various Central and South American countries and to Mr. John Barrett, director of the Pan-American Union. To Discuss Bank Extension. "It is a significant fact that our exports to South America reached the lowest point for the year 1914 in the months of October, November and December, when they were reduced to less than one-half of those for the same months of 1913. This decline is, in great measure, due to the scarcity of ships and the exhorbitant rates of freight now being charged." Live Stock. DETROIT—Cattle at packing plants weighed off cars.

This news reached Madrid by way of Badajoa. The course of the republic of Portugal, since its establishment, five years ago, following the assassination of King Carlos, has been marked by political dissension and strife.

Those who are interested in devel* oping the agricultural resources^ «£ Western Canada in bringing tcr*the notice of those whom they desire to take part in this development present only the facts. There has never bean given the impression that fanning* in Western Canada could be carried on without effort or labor, but it has been successfully stated that better results can be secured with less outlay of capital, either in money or labor, than anywhere else on the continent. This has been proven time and time again. Hundreds of cases could be cited where men have taken up farms* either a homestead, or purchased from railways or land companies, and with little capital at the start have acquired a competence, have established good homes for themselves, and provided a sure future. They have comfortable homes and all their surroundings are comfortable, speak of the reward that their thrift has accomplished. Carl Dick~an, of Russian Poland lived in Pittsburgh, Pa., for fourteen years. and saved up $900. In 1903 he took the $900 with him to Alberta. His own story is that he bought a quarter Beer tion, for which he agreed to pay $1,200. "In 1904 I had thirty acres of crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I bought another quarter. I now have one hundred acres under cultivation, and have never- had a crop failure- Have threshed forty-seven bushels of wheat per acre, but the average has been about forty. My oats for the eleven years that I have been here averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre. I now have 9 horses, 47 head of cattle, 33 hogs, which I consider worth $3,600. I' have a thousand dollars worth of farm implements and my land is worth $8,000. This is all clear of debt. I have every reason to consider this a first-class mixed farming, dairying and poultry raising country, as I think that it is apparent that.. I have had some success. The only'* help that I had was my oldest boy, who was 8 years old when I arrived in Alberta." About fifty miles west of Wetasklwin there 1s a partially timbered district lying between Buck Lake and Pig-eon Lake. All this land is ready for homesteading, and judging from a letter received by a resident there, this would seem to be an ideal place for a farmer who desired such surroundings. This setjier lives on the shore of Buck Lake, his land Is willow bVu8h, which is easy to clear. Some of the lumber is good saw timber, and lots of good logs for buildings can be had, as well as rails for fencing. For wheat growing the soil is excellent. Water is easily secured, fishing is good and plentiful and game is anything but scarce. The settlers are mostly from the United States and Canada.—Advertisement. flu Wee Gets Recess Appointment Washington—President Wilson Saturday gave a recess appointment to George Rubles, of Cornish, N.

Bills dealing with tuberculosis are now being considered in 32 state legislatures, according to a statement of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In six states bQls are being considered which can for the reporting and registration of all living cases of tuberculosis. Five states and the District of Columbia are working for lawn which will require that consumptivee who refuse to observe sanitary regulations and are a menace in hospitals. In Bix states legislation permitting the establishment of county or local hospitals for tuberculosis are being discussed, and in another group of sis, state subsidies of $3 to $5 per week per patient are being asked for such Institutions. A more or less complete reorganization of state health work Is sought in several states, especially Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas and Arizona. In Indiana and Alabama bills providing for full time county and city health officers are being -considered.

Haj. daughter is engaged to the Judge's son, from whom be Is estranged, but the tnurder Id between the lovers. She plans to clear her husband's memory and asks the Judge's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story efithe murder of Algernon Etheridge by John Scoville In Dark Hollow, twelve ' years before. The judge and Mrs. Scoville meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the murder, she saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The Judge engages her and her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer, Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded In It. Deborah and Reuther go to live with the Judge. Deborah sees a portrait of Oliver, the Judge's son, with a Black band painted across the eyes. That night she finds, In Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point. Anonymous letters and a talk with Miss weeks Increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was in the ravine on the murder night. Black warns her and shows her other anonymous letters hinting at Oliver's guilt In the court room the judge is handed an anonymous note. The note is picked up and read aloud. CHAPTER XII—Continued. AB for Deborah, she had shrunk out of sight at his approach, but as soon as he bad ridden off she looked eagerly for a taxicab to carry her in his wake. She could not let him ride that mile alone. She was still fearful for him, though the mass of people about her was rapidly dissolving away, and the streets growing clear. She can see his carriage now. Held up for a moment by the crowd, it has broken through, and is rolling quickly towards Ostrander lane. But the mob is following, and she is yet far behind. Shouting to the the chauffeur to hasten, the insistent "honk! hank! of the cab adds it raucous note to the turmoil! They have dashed through one group—they are dashing through another—naught can withstand an onrushing automobile. She catches glimpses of raised arms threatening retaliation; of eager, stolid, uncertain and furious faces—and her breath held baek during that one instant of wild passage rushes pantingly forth again. Ostrander lane Is within sight. If only they can reach it—if only they can cross it! But they cannot without sowing death In their track. No scattered groups here, the mob fills the corner. It la packed close as a wall. Brought up against it, the motor necessarily comes to a standstill. She will have to wait until the crowd sways apart, allowing her to— Ah, there, some heads are moving now! She catches one glimpse ahead of her. and see—What does she see? The noble but shrunk figure of the Judge drawn up before his gate. His lips are moving, but no sound issues from them; a change passes like .. stroke of lightning over the surging mass. Some one shouts out "Coward!" another, "Traitor!" and the lifted head falls, the moving lips cease from their efforts and in place* of the great personality which filled their eyes a moment before, they see a man entrapped, waking to the horror of a sadden death in life for which no visions of the day, no dreams of the night, had been able to prepare him. It was a sight to waken pity, not derision. But these people had gathered here in a bitter mood and their rancor had but scented the prey. Calls of "Oliver!'' and such threats as T o n saved him at a poor man's expense, but well have him yet, w e l l have him yet!" began to rise about him; followed by endless repetitions of the name from near and far: "Oliver! Oliver!" Oliver! His own lips seemed to reecho the word. Then like a lion baited beyond his patience the Judge lifted bis head and faced them all with a fiery intensity which for the moment made him a terrible figvre to contemplate. ~IM no one utter that name to me here!" shot from his Hpa m tones of -Spare me that my mimed life be no The cry The asms of bat o v a have to haagl At wfcieh To one who swoons but seldom, the moment of returning consciousness is often fraught with great pain and sometimes with unimaginable horror. It was such to Deborah; the pain and horror holding her till her eyes, accustomed to realities again, saw in the angel face which floated before her vision amid a swarm of demon masks, the sweet and solicitous, countenance of Reuther. Reuther, taking her mother's hand in hers, said softly: "I knew you were not seriously ill, only frightened by the crowd and their senseless shoutings. Don't think of it any more, dear mother. The people are dispersing now, and you will soon be quite restored and ready to Bmile with us at an attack so groundless it is little short of absurd." Astonished at such tranquillity where she had expected anguish if not stark unreason, doubting her eyes, her ears —for this was no longer her delicate, suffering Reuther to be shielded from all unhappy knowledge, but a woman as strong if not as wise to the situation cc herself—she scrutinized the child closely, then turned her gaze slowly about the room, and started in painful surprise, as she perceived standing in the space behind her the tall figure of Judge Ostrander. "Pardon," she entreated, forgetting Reuther's presence in her consciousness of the misery she had brought upon her benefactor. "I never meant —I never dreamed—" "Oh, no apologies!" Was this the judge speaking? The tone was an admonitory, not a suffering one. It was not even that of a man humiliated or distressed. "You have had a unfortunate experience, but that is over now and BO must your distress be," Then, as in her astonishment she dropped her hands and looked up, he added very quietly, "Your dauglr**." has been much disturbed about you, but not at all about Oliver or his good name. She knows my son too well, and so do you and I, to be long affected by the virulent outcries of a mob seeking for an object upon which to expend their spleen." Deborah was glad to sit silent unde.- this open rebuke and listen to Reuther's ingenuous declarations, though she knew that they brought no conviction and distilled no real comfort either to his mind or hers. "Yes, mother, darling," the young girl was saying. "These people have not seen Oliver In years, but we have, and nothing they can say, nothing that any one can say but himself, could ever shake my belief in him as a man incapable of a really wicked act He might be capable of striking a sudden blow—most men are under great provocation—but to conceal such a fact—to live for years enjoying the respect of all who knew him, with the knowledge festering in his heart of another having suffered for his crime— that, that would be impossible to Oliver Ostrander." Some words ring in the heart long after their echo has left the ear. Impossible! Deborah stole a look at the judge. But he was gazing at Reuther, where he well might gaze, if his sinking heart craved support or his abashed mind sought to lose itself in the enthusiasm of this pore soul, with its loving, uncalculating instincts. "Tell the Judge who la as confident of Oliver as I am myself that yon are confident, too. That yon could no more believe him capable of this abominable act tha yon could believe it of my father.** "I will—tell—the Judge." stammered the unhappy mother. "Judge," she briefly declared, as she rose with the help of her daughter's arm, "my mind agrees with y o u * In this matter. What yon think. I think.'* And that was all she coald amy. As she fail again into bar seat, tha Judge tamed to Reother: "Leave your mother for a little whUa,- ha urged, with that rara ha always showed a few with effort, began some conciliatory speech, the young girl smiled with a certain bad patience, and, turning toward Judge Ostrander, aaid as »he bottly withdrew; "You have been very kind to allow me to mention a name and discuss a eubject you have expressly forbidden. I want to show my gratitude. Judge Ostrander, by never referring to it again without yours permission. That you know., my mind"—here her head rose with a sort of lofty pride which lent h dazzling quality to her usually quiet beauty—"and that I know youns, is quite enough for me." "A noble girl! a mate for the best!" fell from the Judge's lips after a silence disturbed only by the faint, faroff murmur of a slowly dispersing throng. Deborah made no answer. She could not yet trust her courage or her voice. The judge, who was standing near, concentrated hie look upon her features. "Madam!"—he was searching her eyes, searching her very soul, as men seldom search the mind of another. "You believe in the truth of these calumnies that have just been shouted in our ears. You believe what they Bay of Oliver. You, with every prejudice in his favor; with every desire to recognize his worth! You, who have shown yourself ready to drop your husband's cause though you consider it an honest one, when you saw what havoc it would entail to my boy's repute. You believe—and on what evidence?" he broke in. "Because of the picture and the coincidence of his presence in the ravine?" "Yes." "But these are puerile reasons." He was speaking peremptorily now and with all the weight of a master mind. "And you are not the woman to be satisfied with anything puerile. There is something back of all this; something you have not imparted. What Is that something? Tell—tell—" "Oliver was a mere boy in those days and a very passionate one. He police headquarters, and there In the wood I detected and pointed out a tritle of steel which never came from the unbroken blades of the knife taken from John's pocket." Fallen was the proud head now and fallen the great man's aspect. If he spoke it was to utter a low "Oliver! Oliver!" The pathos of it—the heart-rending wonder in the tone brought the tears to Deborah's eyes and made her last words very difficult. "But the one great thing which gives te these facts their really dangerous point is the mystery you have made of your life and of this so-called hermitage. If you can clear up that, .you can afford to ignore the rest," "The misfortunes of my house!" was his sole response. "The misfortunes of my house!" Deborah Made No Answer. She Could Not Yet Trust Her Voice. hated Etheridge—the obtrusive mentor who came between him and yourself." "Hated?" "Yes, there is proof." He did not ask where. PosBlbly he knew. And because he did not ask she did not tell him, holding on to her secret in a vague hope that so much at least might never see light "I knew the boy shrank sometimes from Algernon's company," the Judge admitted, after another glance at her face; "but that means nothing in a boy full of his own affairs. What else have yon against him? Speak up! I can bear it all" "He handled the stick that—that—" "Never! Now you have gone mad, 1 would he willing to end my days in an asylum if that would disprove this fact." "But, madam, what proof—what son can yon have for an assertion moBBtrons?** T o n remember the shadow I which was not that of John Scoville? who made that shadow waa whittling a, stick; that was a trick of Outer's. I have heard that he even whittled fnrniture.- Oodl" The Jaige's panoply to prove, aa 90a will . that It tha Btadgeom he always Bat the aa* la CHAPTER XIII. One Secret Less. Suddenly he faced Deborah again The crisis of feeling had passed, and he looked almost cold. "You have had advisers," said he. "Who are they?" "I have talked with Mr. Black." The judge's brows met. "Well, you were wise," said he. Then, shortly, "What is his attitude?" Feeling that her position was fast becoming intolerable, ehe faltertngly replied, "Friendly to you and Oliver, but, even without all the reasons which move me, sharing my convictions." "He has told you so?" "Not directly; but there was no misjudging his opinion of the necessity you were under to explain the mysteries of your life. And it was yesterday we talked; not today." Like words thrown Into a void, these slow, lingering, half-uttered phrases seemed to awaken an echo which rung not only in his inmost being, but In hers. Not till in both natures silence had settled again (the silence of despair, not peace), did he speak. When he did it was simply to breathe her name. "Deborah?" Startled, for it had always before, been "madam," she looked up to find him standing very near her and with his hand held out. "I am going through deep waters," said he. "Am 1 to have your support?" "Oh, Judge Ostrander, how can you doubt it?" ehe cried, dropping her hand into his, and her eyes swimming with tears. "But what can I do? If L remain here I will be questioned. If I fly—but, possibly, that is what you want—for me to go—to disappear—to take Reuther and sink out of all men's sight forever. If this Is your wish, I am ready to do i t Gladly will we be gone—now—at once—this very night. His disclaimer was peremptory. "No; not that I ask no such sacrifice Neither would it avail. There is but one thing which can reinstate Oliver and myself in the confidence and regard of these people. Cannot you guess it, madam? I mean your own restored conviction that the sen tence passed upon John Scoville was a just one. Once satisfied of this, your temperament is such that you would be our advocate whether you wished it or no. Your very silence would be eloquent" "Convince me; I am willing to have you, Judge Ostrander. But how can you do so? A shadow stands between my wishes and the belief you mention. The shadow cast by Oliver as he made his way towards the bridge, with my husband"s bludgeon in his hand." "Did you see him strike the blow? Were there any opportune shadows to betray what happened between the instant of—let us say Oliver's approach and the fall of my friend? Much can happen in a minute, and this matter is one of minutes, Scoville had a heart open to crime, Oliver not This I knew when I sat upon the bench fit his trial; and now you shall know i t too. Come! I have something to show you." He turned towards the door and mechanically she followed- Her thoughts were all in a whirl. She did not know what to make of him or of herself. The rooted dread of weeks was stirring in its soil This suggestion of the transference of the stick from hand to hand was not impossible Only Scoville had sworn to her, and that, too, upon their child's head, that he had not struck this blow. And she had believed him after finding the cap; and she believed him now. Tea. against her wilL she believed him now. War? and again, why?

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, March 4, J 915 No. 10 MORE FARMERS FALLING IN LINE T h e "Name Your P«Tm" Idea Struck R e s p o n s i v e C h o r d In this Locality That Pinckney is surrounded by a claas of farmers who are progressive, is evidenced by the manner iu which they have taken up with the up-to-date idea of naming their farms as soon as the project was launched by the Dis- , patch. A few farms have been »named for some time bat the big 'majority of the farms in the long hst printed herewith, have been christened since our campaign began two weeks ago. These people are not slow to see the advantages to be derived from having a farm name and mean to keep abreast of the times. We congratulate them and are only too glad to help them establish the name by which their place is to be known.

All 22 senators present voted for it Before its passage the bill was slightly amended so as to apply only to the logging camps and to the right of way of logging railroads, a logging railroad being defined as one which is primarily for the" transportation of logs and lumber and which is operated in connection with a logging camp. It had been expected that the upper peninsula members would vote against this bill, but apparently they were satisfied with the amendments for all voted In its favor. Just before the vote was taken Senator Damon read extracts from a dozen or more letters that he had received from large lumbering concerns, owners and operators of camps and railroads, urging the passage of the bill. In addition to the Damon bill, the senate also passed finally the bill introduced by Representative Hoffman lifting the poll tax on highways from 11 to $1.50. This bill is now ready for the governor. The senate gave final action to one of its own bills, that appropriating money for the payment back of the pension money at the Soldiers' home and giving an additional appropriation for repairs. This bill was given immediate effect. BECKER DENIED NEW TRIAL Condemned Man Has Chance Only In Court of Appeals. New York—Justice Weeks, in the criminal branch of the supreme court, Friday denied Charles Becker a new trial. The justice made no comment and handed down no extensive decision. Across the motion papers, handed in Friday by Martin Manton and Joseph B. Johnston, Becker's counsel, he simply wrote the words "Motion denied," and ended the attempt to get Becker a third trial. The effort to get a new trial for Becker was based on the affidavit made by James Marshall, the Negro whose testimony at Becker's last trial did so much to convict the former police lieutenant Becker's appeal before the court of appeals for a new trial is still to be argued. Becker is a former New York police lieutenant and is under sentence of death for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Lumbermen to Protest Rates.

The seiiure by a French cruiser, appears to have been due to an agreement between France and Great Britain to allow intered vessels to be captured by French vessels and referred to a prise court thus making the two nations involved France and the United States, instead of Great Britain and America. The Dacia was interned at Port Arthur, Texas, when she was bought In December by Edward N. Breitung, a New York and Michigan banker and mine owner. Mr. Breitung obtained American registry for her, with the consent of the United States government and placed aboard her an Amor* lean skipper and crew. She was taken to Galveston and sailed from that port January SI with a cargo of 11,000 hales of cotton for Rotterdam. It was fully expected that the ship would be seized on her way to Rotterdam as Great Britain Questioned the validity of the recent transfer of the Dacla from German to American registry. The Dacia touched at Norfolk February 11 and then ^proceeded on her way. Representations were made by the British embassy at Washington, questioning the validity of the transfer of the interned German vessel, and it was generally understood that if the ship sailed she would be seised by British or French warships and taken before a prise court of Qoaoral Coste* Dead* services for Nevtu Pontine.—Michael Kauffman of Detroit and John Walters of Pontlac were released by the Pontine police after being held a month In connection with the murder of John B.

A curious crowd Of neighbors invade the mysterious home of Judge Ostrander, county judge and eccentric recluse, following a veiled woman who proves to be the widow of a man tried before the Judge and electrocuted for murder years before. Her daughter is engaged to the judge's son, from whom he is estranged, but the murder la between the lovers. She plana to clear her husband's memory and asks the judge's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story of the murder of Algernon Etherldge by John 8coville 1» Dark Hollow, twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Sco- •Ule meet at Spencer'g Folly and she Shows him how, on the day of the murtter, ahe saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing & long peaked gap. The Judge enrages her and her —daughter Reuther to live with him in his fayetepious home. Deborah and her lawy* r.

Che finds that Oliver was in the ravine on the murder night Black warns her Cid shows her other anonymous letters ntlng at Oliver's guilt CHAPTER Xl—Contlnued. "Madam, we have said our say on Jthla subject If you have come to aee the matter M I see it, I can but congratulate yon upon your good sense, avnd express the hope that It will continue to prevail. Reuther ia worthy *f the beet—" he stopped abruptly. -Reuther Is a gtrl after my own heart," be gently supplemented, with a fiance toward his papers lying in a bundle at hie elbow, "and she shall not suffer because of this disappointment to her girlish hopes. Tell her so with my lore." It was a plain diamiasal. Mrs. Sco- Tiile took it sa such, and Quietly left the room. As she did so she was approached by Reuther, who handed her a letter which had just been delivered. It wae from Mr. Black, and read thus: We have found the rogue and have succeeded In inducing him to leave town. He's a man in the bill-sticking business and he owns to a grievance against the person we know. Deborah's sleep that night was without dreams. About this time, the restless spacing of the judge in his study at nights became more frequent and lasted longer. In vain Reuther played her most cheerful airs and sang her sweetest songs, the monotonous tramp kept up with a regularity nothing could break. "He's worried by the big case now being tried before him," Deborah would say, when Reuther's eyes grew wide and misty in her sympathetic trouble. And there was no improbability in the plea, for it was a case of much moment, and of great local interest A man was on trial for his life and the circumstances of the eaae were such that the feeling called forth was unusually bitter; so much so, in* deed, that every, word uttered by the counsel and every decision made by the Judge were discussed from one end of the county to the other, and in Shqiby, if nowhere else, took precedence of all other topics, though It was a presidential year and party sympathies ran high. The more thoughtful spirits were inclined to believe in the innocence of the prisoner; but the lower elements of the town, moved by ehus prejudice, were bitterly antagonistic to his cause and loud for his conviction, Tito time of Jndge Ootrander't offloe was nearly upland bis future ooatttnonee on the bench might very eaaQy 4epend npon bit attitude at the oat hosrlac. Tot be, without recognition of thai tne^ showed with* out any besjftancy soM^oooockwwnoos. the sympathy ho «e$ for the v a n at the bar, and ruled "Come here, child," said he, in a way to make her heart beat; and, as he took the gloves from her hand, he stooped and kissed her on the forehead— something he bad never done before. "Let me see you smile," said he. "It's a memory I like to take with me into the courtroom." But when in her pure delight at his caress and the fatherly feeling which gave a tremor to his simple request, she lifted her face with that angelic look of hers which was far sweeter and far more moving than any smile, he turned away abruptly, as though he had beea more hurt than comforted, and strode out of the house without another word. Morning passed and the noon came, bringing Deborah an increased uneasiness. When lunch was over and Reuther sat down to her piano, the feeling had grown into an obsession, which had soon resolved itself into a definite fear. She found herself so restless that she decided upon going out Donning her quietest gown and veil, she slipped out of the front door,- hardly knowing whither her feet would carry her. They did not carry her far—not at this moment, at least On the walk outside she met Miss Weeks hurrying toward her from the corner, stumbling 'Come Here, Child/' Said He, in a Way to Make H*r Heart Beat A week poswed. nnd the an agog, m anticipation of the Judge's obasge sa the e m fast to bo gfron at and Hit feasts** oomscloe* that ho |ad sot slept am in her excitement At sight of Deborah's figure ehe paused and threw up her hands. "On, Mrs. Scoville, such a dreadful thing!" she cried. "Look here!" And, opening one of her hands, she showed a few torn scraps of paper whose familiarity made Deborah's blood run cold. "On the bridge," gasped the little lady, leaning against the fence for support Tasted on the railing of the bridge. I should never have seen it, nor looked at it, if it hadnt been that 1 - - "Don't -tell me here," urged Deborah. "Let's go over to your house. See, there are people coming." Once in the house, Deborah allowed her full apprehension to show itself. "What were the words? What was on the paper? Anything about—- The little woman's look of horror stopped her. I t ' s a He, an awful, abominable He. _ , But think of such a lie being pasted possibly w i t h o u t ^ on tjy* dreadful bridge for to vffle! -Miss Weeks—- Ah. the oil of that golden speech on troubled wetersl What was lis charm? "Lot see nnos or what there is left so that I bo Black's efforts, a charge like this is found posted up in the public ways, the ruin of the Oatrauders la determined upon, and nothing we can do can stop it" In five minutes more she had said good-by to Miss Weeks and was on her way to the courthouse. As she approached It she was still further alarmed by Anding this square full of people, standing in groups or walking impatiently up and down with their eyes fixed on the courthouse doors. Within, there was the uneasy hum, the anxious look, the subdued movement which marks an universal suspense. Announcement had been made that the jury had reached their verdict, and counsel were resuming their places and the judge his seat Those who had eyes only for the latter—and these were many—noticed a change in him. " He looked older by years than when he delivered his charge. Not the prisoner himself gave greater evidence of the effect which this hour of waiting had had upon a heart whose covered griefs were, consciously or unconsciously, revealing themselves to the public eye. He did not wish this man sentenced. This was shown by his charge—the most one-sided one he had given in all bis career. Silence, that awful precursor of doom,, ley in all its weight upon every ear and heart, as the clerk, advancing with the cry, "Order in the court." put his momentous question; "Oentlemen of the jury, are you ready with your verdict?" A hushl—then, the clear voice of the foreman: "We are." "How do you find? Guilty or not guilty?" Another hesitation. Did the foreman feel the threat lurking in the air about him? If so, he failed to show it in his tones as he uttered the words which released the prisoner: "Not guilty." A growl from the crowd, almost like that of a beast stirring in its lair, then a quick cessation of all hubbub as every one turned to the Judge to whose one-sided charge they attributed this release. Deborah experienced In her quiet corner no alleviation of the fear which had brought her into this forbidding spot and held her breathless through these formalities. For the end was not yet Through ail the turmoil of noisy departure and the drifting out into the square of a vast, dissatisfied throng, she had caught the flash of a bit of paper (how introduced into this moving mass of people no one ever knew) passing from hand to hand, toward the solitary figure of the judge, its delay as it reached the open space between the last row of seats and the judge's bench and its final delivery by some officious hand, who thrust it upon his notice just as he was rising to leave. Deborah saw his finger tear Its way through the envelope and his eyes fall frowningly on the paper he drew out Then the people's counsel and the counsel for the defense and such clerks and hangers-on as still lingered in the upper room experienced a decided sensation. The judge, who* a moment before bad towered above them all In melancholy but impressive dignity, shrunk with one gasp into feebleness and sank back stricken, if not unconscious, into his chair. It happened suddenly and showed her the same figure she had seen once before—a man with faculties suspended, but not Impaired, facing them all with open gaze but absolutely dead for the moment to his own condition and to the world about But horrible as this was, what she saw going on behind him was infinitely worse. A man had caught up the bit of paper Judge Ostrander had let fall from his hand and was opening his lips to read it to the curious people snrTounding him. She tried to stop him. She farced a cry to her lips which should have rung through the room, but which died r~?ay on the air unheard. The terror which had paralysed her limbo had choked her voice. But her ears remained true- Low as he spoke, no trumpet-call could have made its meaning clearer to Deborah Scovfile than did these words: Wi know why you favor criminals. Twelve yean Is a long time, but not long •sough Is make wise men forget one which had lust rsisasid U> frne* dom a man seemingly doomed. Few persons were now left in the great room, and Deborah, embarrassed to find that she was the only woman present, waa on the point cf escaping from her corner when she perceived a movement take pHexe in the rigid form from which she had not yet withdrawn her eyes, and, regarding Judge Ostrander more attentively, ^he caught the gleam of his suspicious eyes as he glanced this way and that to see If Lis lapse of consciousness had been noticed by those about him. Wherever the judge looked be saw abstracted faces and busy hands, and, taking heart at not finding himself watched, he started to rise. Then memory came—blasting, overwhelming memory of the letter he had been reading; and, rousing with a start, he looked down at his hand, then at the floor before him, and, seeing the letter lying there, picked it up with a secret, sidelong glance to right and left, whlcb sank deep into the heart of the still watchful Deborah. If those about him saw, they made no motion. Not an eye looked round and not a head turned as he straightened himself and proceeded to leave the room. Only Deborah noted how his stepe faltered and how little he CHAPTER X I I . "The Misfortunes of My House."

It lay to the right and he was going left. Now he stumbles— isn't there any one to—yes, she is not the sole one on watch. The same man who had read aloud the note and then dropped it within reach, had stepped after him, and kindly, if artfully, turned him towards the proper place of exit. As the two disappear, Deborah wakes from her trance, and, finding herself alone among the seats, hurries to quit her corner and leave the building. The glare—the noise of the square, as she dashes down into it seems for the moment unendurable. The pushing, panting mass of men and women of which she has now become a part, closes about her, and for the moment she can see nothing but faces—faces with working mouths aad blaxing eyes Thick as the crowd was in front it was even thicker here, and far more tumultuous. Word had gone about that the father of Oliver Ostrander had been given his lesson at last end the curiosity of the populace had risen to fever-heat in their anxiety to see how the proud Ostrander would boar himself in his precipitate downfall. They had crowded there to see and they would see. He was evidently not prepared to see his path quite so heavily marked out for him by the gaping throng; but after one look, he assumed some show of his old commanding presence and advanced bravely down the steps, awing some and silencing all, unto he had reached bis carriage step and the protection of the officers on guard. Then a hoot rose from some far-off quarter of the square, aad bo turned short about and the people saw his face. Despair had seised i t and If any one there desired vengeance, ho had It The knoll of active life had boon rung for this man. He would never remount the courthouse steps, or face again a respectful jury. (TO BS CONTINUED.)

The veranda box should be 15 inches wide, ten inches deep and as long as desired. Bore an inch hole through every square foot of the bottom of the box; then put in a layer of broken crockery, pebbles or cinders for drainage. Rosea thrive best in a rich but firm soil; therefore, stiffen the soil with clay, and enrich with well rotted cow manure. Plant the roses, If teas, six inches apart, and if hybrids, twice that distance, and firm the aofT wen about them. Place the boxes where they will get the sun moat of the day. When the rosea bloom cut back to a strong and well developed bud, and in a short time this shoot will grow, and develop into a rose. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, but never sprinkle roses when they need-watering. Give them plenty of i t - . Late in the fall carefully remove the roses with plenty of soil, and pack them together In a well drained corner of the garden. Bury them in strawy manure and leaves held down by cornstalks or thick brush. Next spring, when the rosea start into growth, cut hack to within five or six inches of the ground, and plant into their boxes with new soil Disturb the roots aa little aa possible.

The first of these processes promises to enable the independent refiners in this country to increase their output of gasoline from petroleum 200 per eent or more according to Secretary Lane, who added: "With an estimated production on the part of the independent refiners of 12,000,000 barrels of gasoline in a year, this will mean an output from # independents alone of 36,000,000 barrels, greater than the total production today from all sources." Application has been made on behalf of the federal government, to patent these processes in order to prevent any monopoly in their use, the patents to be dedicated to the Americ a n people. tes^iv Dentists ness to Doctors appetite affirm its helpfulteeth and gums, attest its aid to and digestion. MEN THROWN OUT OF WORK Fire Destroys Refrigerator Plant at Greenville Sunday. Greenville—Fire of undetermined origin broke out in the plant of the Ranney Refrigerator company here late Sunday afternoon and totally destroyed one of the company's two buildings, doing damage approximately at 1150,000 and,throwing 160 men out of employment. Flames were first discovered shooting from the building by passersby. A hurried alarm was sent to the local fire department but it was unable to cope with the fierce tongues of flame which soon enveloped the structure. The most energetic efforts only prevented the flames from spreading. Factory "A," the portion of the industry destroyed, was the older of two buildings used by the company in the manufacture of refrigerators. It was constructed of brick. The interior was wood. President F. E. Ranney, of the company, was unable to state after the fire whether or not he would begin rebuilding operations at once. Insurance on the building is approximately $58,000.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- j fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on thaf dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 60 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy *calp and falling hair.

When the well known African traveler Dr. Robert Felkin was staying with the bloodthirsty King Mtesa of Uganda many years ago the king; out of gratitude for his visitor's medical treatment, wished to cut off his head. On Dr. Felkin representing that the treatment was not finished and that if interrupted it would cause Mtesa's death the latter granted him a reprieve until he was quite recovered. Then the execution was determined upon. Emin Pasha, who was a friend of Dr. Felkin, had instructed him most accurately about the state of affairs In Uganda and had revealed to him an Important state secret—namely, where Mtesa'a powder store was hidden. Dr. Felkin remembered this at the right moment and as a last resort threatened that if Mtesa killed him he would bring down a flash of lightning upon his powder store. Mtesa replied Incredulously, "Tell me where it la," whereupon Dr. / e l k l n whispered in his ear, "It is concealed under your harem." Mtesa turned pale and allowed Felkin and bis companions to live. The "lightning maker's" authority increased when nest day a flash of lightning happened to strike near the harem.

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

X \' '- al in New York, pie (good old Americas desert) was the first delicacy he devoured with keen delight Mrs. Placeway did not know the existence of such a food until her first taste in New York. Coffee, the poorest grade, is $1 per pound iu Germany, whQe for the best they pay as high as 12 American money value. The coffee is made of barley, instead of the coffee berry as in America. The coffee comes in the form of a black stick, a portion of wnich is broken off and hot water added, making a black unappetizing drink, which Mr. Placeway says he has never been able to like. The German cakes are not the fi*e egg variety of the American housewife bat are more like our sweetened crackers. Sometimes they are made of Dutch oheese and at other times a grain like oar caraway seed is added, while at Christmas time they make a •weetensd hreod eontafaiing cur* mats whioh they caH Kris-Kieken or Chriotau* cake.

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

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

Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from ttye strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dlzxlness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.

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

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

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

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

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

Remember the "dose" mother insisted on — castor oil, calomel, catharticB. 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-found* ed. Their tender little "insIdea" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "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 falls 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 60-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.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR 8he Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage .Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops failing hair. Jeara ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyetb's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 60 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so naturally and evenly.

The Wretchedness of Constipation Can quickly" For Use Under Hot Dishes Nothing More Satisfactory Has Ever Been Put on Market Nothing has ever been found more satisfactory to put under hot dishes than the old-fashioned woven table mats, and of late there has been quite a revival in their favor, especially aB It does not require any great amount of ingenuity to learn how to manipulate the frames upon which they are woven. These frames come in a box containing several sizes, so that a set for meat dishes and several sizes in vegetable dishes may be made. After being woven on the frame crosswise, the points where the crossed threads pass each other are caught and knotted with either white or light-colored twiBt. In cutting the finished mat off from the frame, a fringed edge is formed and the mat not only launders well, but literally lasts forever. The writer has a set of these mats made quite ten years ago by a deft old lady. These have been in constant use, some of them washed each week and they have scarcely yet begun to show signs of wear.—Exchange. Soup Meat Horseradish 8auce. Boil a piece of tender beef.

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

A " F l y i n g " Malady. The doctors are puzzled concerning a strange malady that has broken out at more than one aeroplane works and has in one case resulted fatally. The malady in some respects resembles yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or wrongly, attributed to contact with an aeroplane, "dope," or to inhaling its odor. Further particulars need not at the moment be indicated, but it has been suggested that the source of the trouble may be amyl acetate, which is used as a "dope" solvent. Some mystery attaches to the affair, the precise nature of the malady not having yet been determined, In spite of close examination and analysis; and, of course, until success is attained in this direction no satisfactory precautions or remedy can be devised.

The judge and Mrs. Scoville meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the murder, she saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The judge engages h«r and her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer. Black, go to the police station and Bee the stick used to murder Etherldge.

That night she finds. In Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point. Anonymous letters increase her suspicions. CHAPTER IX—Continued. 'T have been told—" thus Deborah easily proceeded, "that for a small house yours contains the most wonderful assortment of; interesting objects. Where-ditf you ever get them?" "My father w a s ' a collector, on a very small scale of course, and my mother had a passion for hoarding which prevented anything from going out of this house after it had once come into i t " "My husband—" began Mrs. Scoville, thoughtfully. Miss Weeks stared in consternation at Mrs. Scoville, who hastened to say: "You wonder that I can mention my husband. Perhaps you will not be so surprised when I tell you that in my eyes he is a martyr, and quite guiltless of the crime for which he was punished." "You think that?" There was real surprise in the manner of the questioner. Mrs. Scoville's brow -cleared. She was pleased at this proof that her affairs had trot yet reached the point ' of general gossip. "Miss Weeks, I am a mother. I have a young and lovely daughter. Can I look in her Innocent eyes and believe her father to have so forgotten his responsibilities as to overshadow her life with crime? No, I will not believe v i t Circumstances were in favor of his conviction, but he never lifted the stick: which struck down Algernon Etherldge." Miss Weeks, who had sat quite still during the utterance of these remarks, fidgeted about at their close, with ' what appeared to the speaker, a sudden and quite welcome relief. "Oh!" she murmured; and said no more. It was not a topic she found easy of discussion. The sadness which now spread over the' very interesting countenance of her visitor, offered her an excuse for the introduction of a far more momentous topic; one she had burned to Introduce, but had not known'how. "Mrs. Sooyffle,- I hoar that Judge Ostrander has got your daughter % piano. That is really a wonderful thing for him to do. Not that he is so close with his money, hut that he has always been so set against all gayety and companionship. I suppose you did not know the shock It would be to him when you asked Bela to let you into the gates," , "No! I didn't know. But it is ah right now. The judge seems to welcome- the change. Miss Weeks, did you anow Algernon Ktheridge well enough to tell 'me if he was as good and irreproachable a man as they all e a y r "He was a good man. but he had a dreadfully obstinate streak in bis disposition mad very set ideas. I have heard that he and the Judge used to argue over a point for l o a n . And he was most always wrong. For Instance, he was wrong about Oliver.'* "OHverr "^udge Ostraader's son, you know. Mr. BtherMga wanted him to study fox^a professorship; bet the boy was determined to go into Jouraattsm* sad you see what a sfeoosss be has made of i t As a processor he would probably have bee* a failure,'' -Was this dMeteace of optnioa on IbeoalttavhoslMmMiiursuetae But Miss Weeks rather welcomed than resented this curiosity. Indeed, she was never tired of enlarging upon the Ostranders. "1 have never thought so. The judge would not quarrel with Oliver on so small a point as that My idea is, though I never talk of it much, that they had a great quarrel over Mr. Etherldge. Oliver never liked the old student; I've watched them and I've seen. He hated his coming to the house so much; he hated the way his father singled him out and deferred to him and made him the confident of all his troubles. When they went on their walks, Oliver always hung back, and more than once I have seen him make a grimace of distaste when his father urged him forward. He was only a boy, I know, but his dislikes meant something, and if it ever happened that he spoke out his whole mind, you may be sure that some very bitter words passed." x Was this meant as an innuendo? Impossible to tell. Such nervous, fussy little bodies often possess minds of unexpected subtlety. Deborah gave up all hope of understanding her, and, accepting her statements at their face value, effusively remarked: "You must have a very superior mind to draw such conclusions from the little you have seen. I have heard many explanations given t o r the breach you name, but never any so reasonable." A flash from the spinster's wary eye, then a burst of courage and the quick retort: "And what explanation does Oliver himself give? You ought to know, Mrs. Scoville." The attack was as sudden as it was unexpected. Deborah flushed and trimmed her sails for this new taesr, and insinuating gently, "Then you have heard—" waited for the enlightenment these words were likely to evoke. It came quickly enough. "That he expected to marry your daughter? Oh, yes, Mrs. Scoville; it's common talk here now. I hope you don't mind my mentioning it." Deborah"'a head went up. She faced the other fairly, with the look born of mother passion, and mother passion only. "Reuther is blameless in this matter/' she protested. "She'was brought up in ignorance of what I felt sure would prove a handicap and misery to her. She loves Oliver as she will never love any other man, but when she was told her real name and understood fully what that name carries with it, she declined to saddle him with her shame. That's her story, Miss Weeks; one that hardly fits her appearance, which is very delicate. And, let me add, having once accepted her father's name, she refuses to be known by any other. I have brought her to Shelby where to our own surprise and {leather's great happiness, we have been taken in by Judge Ostrander, an act of kidness for which we are very grateful. " Miss Weeks got np, took down on* of her rarest treasures from an old etagere standing in one corner and laid it in Mrs. Scoville's hand. "For' your ^daughter," she declared. "Noblejgiri! I hope she will be happy.** The mother was touched, but not quite satisfied yet of the giver's real feelings towards Oliver, and, after thanking her warmly, remarked: : "There is but one thing that will ever make Reuther happy, and that she cannot have unless a miracle occurs. Oh, I do not wonder you smile. This is not the day of miracles. But if my belief in my (husband could be shared; if I should be enabled to clear his name, might not love and loyalty be left to do the rest? Wouldn't the Judge's objections, in that case, be removed? What do you think. Miss Weeks r "There! we will say no more about It* The little woman's attitude and voice were almost prayerful. "You have judgment enough for two. Besides, the miracle kasnsot happened." she interjected, with a smile which eeomod to say K never would. Deborah sighed. Whether or not ft was quite an honest expression of her feeling we win not inquira She was there for a definite purpose and her wayjto It was, as yet, far from plain- Tbe negative with which she followed up this .sign was one of sorrowful anospuara She however, to qualify It given up an hope. I light upon fresh evidence. And where am I to get that? Only from some new witness." Miss Weeks' polite smile took on an expression of Indulgence. This roused Deborah's pride, and, hesitating no longer, she anxiously remarked: "I have sometimes thought that Oliver Ostrander might b© that witness. He certainly wats in the ravine the night Algernon Etherldge was struck down." Had she been an experienced actress of years she could not have thrown into this question a greater lack of all Innuendo. Miss Weeks, already un der her fascination, heard the tone but never thought to notice the quick rise and fall of her visitors uneasy bosom. and so unwarned, responded with all due frankness: "I know he was. But how will that help you? He had no testimony to give in relation to this crime, or he would have given it." "That is true." The admission fell mechanically from Deborah's lips; she was not conscious, even of making it Then, as her emotion choked her into silence, she. sat with piteous eyes searching Miss Weeks' face, till she had recovered her voice, when she added this vital question: "How did you know that Oliver was In the ravine that night? I only guessed it." "Well, it was In this way. I do not often keep my eye on my neighbors (oh, no, Miss Weeks!), but that night I chanced to be looking aver the way just at the minute Mr. Etherldge came out, and something I saw in his manner and in that of the judge who had followed him to the door, and in thr.t of Oliver who, cap on head, was lean ing towards them from a window over the porch, made me think that a controversy was going on between the two old people of which Oliver was the object This naturally interested me, and I watched them long enough to -see Oliver suddenly raise his fist and shake It at old Etherldge; then, In great rage, Blam down the window and disappear inside. The next minute, and before the two below had done talking, I caught another glimpse of him as he dashed around the corner of the house on his way to the ravine." "And Mr. Etherldge?" "Oh, he left soon after. I watched him as he went by, his long cloak flapping in the w4nd. Uttle did I think he would never pass my window again." So interested were they both, that neither for the moment realized the strangeness of the situation or that it was in connection with a crime for state the task "Was the Difference of Opinion the Cause of Oliver's LeavingV . ^ which the "husband of one of them had suffered, they were raking up this past, and gossiping over its petty details. Mrs. Scoville sighed and said: ' I t couldn't have been very long after you saw him that Mr. Etherldge was struck?" "Only some twenty minutes. It takes Just that long for a man to walk from this corner to the bridge." "And you never heard where Oliver w e n t r "It was never talked about at the time. Later, when some hint got about of his having been in the ravine that night, he said he had gone up the ravine, not down i t And we ail believed him, madam.'* "Of course, of course. What a discriminating mind you have, Miss Weeks, and what a wonderful memory! To think that after an these years you can recall that Oliver bad a cap on h a head when he looked out of the window at his father and Mr. Btharidga. If you were asked* I nave no doubt you ooeid tell Its very color. Was It the: peaked o n e f "Tea, I could swear te it,- And Jffeeks save a UtUe laugh, which sounded incongruous enough to Deborah, in whose heart at that moment a leaf was turned upon the past, which left t h e future hopelessly blank. "Must you g o ? " Deborah had risen mechanically. "Don't, I beg, till you have relieved my mind about J u d g e Ostrander. I don't suppose that t h e r e is really anything behind that door o- h i s which it would alarm any one to s e e ? " Then, Deborah understood Miss Weeks. But s h e was ready for her. "I've never seen a n y t h i n g of t h e »Oit," said she. "and I make up his bed in that very room every jnorning." "Oh! And Miss W e e k s drew a deep breath. "No article of immense value, such as t h a t r a r e old bit of real Satsuma in the cabinet over t h e r e ? " "No," answered Deborah, with all the patience she could muster. "Judge O s t r a n d e r seems very simple In Lis tastes. I doubt if he would know Sats u m a if he saw it." Miss Week' sighed. "Yes, he h a s never expressed the least wish to look o \ e r my shelves. So the double fence means nothing?" "A whim," ejaculated Deborah, making quietly for the door. "The judge likes to walk at night when quite through with his work; and he doesn't like his ways t o be noted. But he prefers the lawn now. I hear his step out t h e r e every n i g h t " "Well, it's s o m e t h i n g to know t h a t he leads a more normal life than form e r l y ! " sighed t h e little lady as she prepared to u s h e r her guest o u t "Come again, Mrs. Scoville; and, if 1 may, I will drop in and see you some day." Deborah accorded her permission and made her final adieux. She felt as if a hand which had been stealing up her chest had suddenly gripped her throat, choking her. She had found the man who had cast that fatal shadow down t h e ravine, twelve years before. CHAPTER X. Anonymous Letters. Deborah re-entered the judge's house a stricken woman. She reached her room door and waa about to enter, when at a sudden thought she paused and let her eyes wander down the hall till they settled on another door, the one she had closed behind her the night before, with the deep resolve never to open It again except under compulsion. A few miiutes later she was standing in one of the dim corners of Oliver's musty room, reopening a book which she had taken down from th shelves on her former visit She remembered it from its torn back and the fact that it was an algebra. Turning to the fly leaf, she looked again at the names and schoolboy phrases she had seen scribbled all over its surface, for the one which she remembered as, "I hate algebra." It had not bean a very clearly written "algebra," and she would never have given this interpretation to the scrawl, had she beeiuin a better mood. Now another thought had come to her, and she wanted to see the word again. Was she glad or sorry to have yielded to this impulse, when by a closer inspection she perceived that the word was not "algebra" at all, but "Algernon, I hate A Etheridge.-jJ hate A. E.—I hate Algernon E.," all over the page, and here and there on other pages, sometimes in characters so rubbed and faint as to be almost unreadable and again so pressed into the paper by a vicious pencil point as to have broken their way through to the leaf underneath. The work of an Ill-conditioned schoolboy! but—this hate dated back many years. Paler than ever, and with hands trembling almost to the point of incapacity, she put the book back and flew to her own room, the prey of thoughts hitter almost to madness. It was the second time in her life that she had been called upon to go through this precise torture. Then, only her own happiness and honor were involved; now it was Reuther's; and the fortitude which sustained her through the ignominy of her own trouble failed her at the prospect of Reuther 3. And again, the two cases were not equal. Her husband hsd had traits which, in a manner, had prepared her for the ready suspicion of people. But Oliver was a man of reputation and kindly heart; and yet, in the course of time this hsd come, and the question once agitating her as to whether Reuther was a fit mate for him and now evolved itself into this: Was he a fit mate for her?

This is a relative matter, since the leaf-roll cases may die earlier, as would be expected of sick plants. The true leaf-roll is inheritable. The tubers from diseased plants produce diseased progeny, as a general rule. This affords a means of distinguishing from the genuine leaf-roll those temporary conditions which give rise to a similar appearance of the plants. All those who are best acquainted with the trouble agree as to the results of planting diseased seed stock. This point is one of capital importance in the control of the disease and oi great interest in its bearing on the nature of the disease. That leaf-roll is not communicable from diseased to healthy plants is the conclusion to be drawn from all available evidence CONVENIENT IN THE APIARY Brush Made of Manila Rope Is Handy for Cleaning Comb* of Bees— Tool Box Is Useful. Comparison of Healthy and Diseased Hills of Same Varieties. vestigatlon by skilled pathologists as this. Possibly no disease which has appeared since the forties presents a greater menace to potato culture. The literature on leaf-roll has become so voluminous that few will undertake to peruse all the contributions. Leaf-roll is a disease characterized by an upward rolling of the leaves, by a decreased yield of- tubers, and by transmission of the diseased condition through ubers planted. Its symptoms vary so much in detail that they can be most clearly outlined by separate treatment. The rolling of the leaves is the most constant and conspicuous symptom of this disease. The leaflets curl or roll upward on their midrib, often assuming a nearly tubular shape, and giving a plant a starving appearance. This rolling is sometimes restricted to the Upper leaves, while in other cases all or nearly all of the leaves may exhibit It. This type of roll is distinct from the curly-dwarf condition, but a very similar roll may be induced by other causeB. The color of the foliage changes with the advent of leaf-roll, but these color symptoms vary greatly, from cases where the leaves, assume an unhealthy, light-green cplor to those marked by pronounced yellowish, reddish or purplish tints. The effect of leaf-roll on, the plant is to check development. There is a lessening or cessation of growth. The shoots remain short and the leaves Upper Illustration Shows Yields of Healthy and Diseased Hills Caused by, Curly-Dwarf, l o w e r Illustration 8hows Yields of Diseased and Healthy Hills Caused by Leaf-Roll. stand more upright. There is, however, no such shortening.of stems and leaf ribs as occurs in curly-dwarf, with OYSTER-SHELL BARK LOUSE I have several little conveniences that I use in my apiary, one of which is a brush for clearing the combs of bees, writes B. A. Manly of Milo, Iowa, in Bee Gleanings and Culture. Take a round stick, 16 inches long, and with a rip-saw divide it for about nine Inches, leaving the other end for a handle. Take a piece of one-Inch man 11a rope six inches long, and with the strands All the opening in the stick, allowing them to project on both sides of the stick. At the end secure it with bee wire and Becurely nail the stick with one-inch brads. This makes the best brush I have seen, and is almost indestructible. Another convenience is my covered hive seat and tool box. My hive seat is 14 by 16, with a pocket on each end 6 by 14. These pockets come within an inch of the top, and a cover is made to telescope over the seat and rest on the top of the pockets. Under the seat I have my smoker fuel; in one of the pockets my Bmoker, and DOWN TO BASE OF SUPPLY Manager of &ujkpiy Company Forced to a Compromise With Receipt of Large Order.

Finally the Qee Tea people realized that they must give premiums. So, after careful consideration, they decided to give a quart of milk with each pound of tea. Business picked up at once. "I understand you give a quart of milk with each pound of tea," said a lady one day. "Quite right," answered the manager. "Well, I'm Mrs. Ketchem of Holdem & Starvem. We operate a string of ten boarding houses here. I want 150 pounds of tea. Do I get 150 quarts of milk?" "Why—er—I think so," stammered the manager. "Will you wait till I go back and look over the supply?" In a minute he came hack, "Madam," he whispered, "I have figured up and I find that if you will take 200 pounds of tea we can give you a cow." At Last It's Reached. Father Vaughan tells a good story of a certain minister who was preaching on "Perfection." "Did you ever know anyone to be perfect?" he asked. "Did you ever read of any man or woman who was quite perfect?"

What piece of machinery is more convenient and useful on the farm than the low-wheeled truck? In hauling about the farm this is the wagon to use 99 times out of a 100, because it is handy. There Is nothing that beats it for hauling fodder, hay—anything, in fact, where help is scarce, especially the green corn for the silo. The ease of loading onto the low truck and getting on and off saves time and obviates danger of getting hurt A tight platform wide enough for hay rack answers for any kind of load on the farm. This can have a slanting, slatted front and rear which makes a convenient rack for hauling hay or fodder and does not lessen its convenience for other uses. Now Is the time to buy such things and have them ready for use, though this kind of wagon is an everyday necessity, practically. Pruning Is Essential.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You will gei a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

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

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

RTMHT HEIRS ARE LOSERS Charges That Aged Capitalist Wat Unduly Influenced By Port Huron Relatives Not Sua- * cessful. F*rt Huroftr-Tbe jury In the Robert Walsh will contest which retired at 6:15 Friday afternoon. Drought In a verdict shortly before 9 o'clock Friday night sustaining the will. This means that the Port Huron heirs, who were named as the largest beneficiaries, will receive the bulk of the estate. It is probable, however, that the case will be appealed. The contest over the will of the late Robert Walsh was begun in the circuit court before Judge E. F. Law, on December 7. Fifty witnesses have been called to the stand and the case will go into the records as one of the most bitterly contested in the history of the St. Clair county circuit court. Robert Walsh was the largest property owner in Port Huron and his brother, Patrick Walsh, of Detroit, now dead, also owned a great deal of business property here, which is now held by his estate. When Robert Walsh died in February, in 1914, he left an estate which was thought to have been worth close to a million, but which was appraised at about 1600,000. Robert Walsh left a will in 1398 in which he bequeathed the bulk of his estate to the Port Huron heirs, who are the children of his other brother, Thomas Walsh, also dead, and who resided in Port Huron. "• The total amount bequeathed to the Detroit heirs totals about 116,000. They brought suit to have the will s«t aside, alleging that undue influence was used on the part of the Port Huron heirs, and that Robert Walsh was suffering from senile dementia at the time the wtU was drawn and consequently he was not competent to draw a wfll and properly dispose of mis property. It developed during the trial that the first Walsh will had been drawn by the late O'Brien J. Atkinson and that in 1898 Mr. Walsh had John L. Black, now mayor of Port Huron, draw a second will which was copied from the Atkinson will with some minor changes. Two copies of this will were made, but only one was found and this is the one which was offered for probata and on which the contest was based. There was no evidence to show thai the other cop>-had been destroyed by Mr. Walsh. It was the contention of the Detroit heirs that they had been discriminated against and testimony introduced Indicated that there was bitter feeling between the Port Huron and the Detroit heirs.

Lansing—State Dairy and Food Commissioner Helme is preparing two bills which will have-to do with pure drinks in the state, both "hard" and "soft" One of the bills is aimed at Impure whisky and the state commissioner says his hill will provide that hereafter those using the liquid refreshment known as whisky will secure the right article if the legislature passes the bill. "My bill will provide that whisky be pure. That is, distilled from mash and aged at least four years before being placed on the market," said the food commissioner Friday. "Whisky sold now Is for the most part compound, made from a mixture of alcohol, prune juice and water. It takes about 120 minutes to make 10- year-old whisky under the compound system. "The other bill I have in course of preparation is to insure the soft drink places a pure article. It will Include a certain standard for at! soft drinks, that shall contain a certain amount of pure syrup and nothing but sugar for sweetening."

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

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

The father had laid no restrictions upon her, in giving her this floor for her use. Rights which he ignored she could afford to appropriate. Dressing sufficiently for wermth, she lit a candle, put out the light in her own room and started down the ball to this long-closed room. A smother of dust—an odor of decay— a lack of all order in the room's arrangements and furnish fugs even a general disarray, hallowed, if not affected, by time—for all this she was prepared. But not for the wild confusion— the Inconceivable litter and all the other signs she saw about her of a boy's mad packing and reckless departure. There was an inner door, and this some impulse drove her to open. A small closet stood revealed, empty but for one article. When she saw this article she gave a great gasp; than oho uttered a low pshaw! and with a shrug of the shoulders drew back and flung to the door. But she It again. She had to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"How much did* he borrow?" was Kern's -cruel query. "Fifty cents," replied Shively, with a slight upward turn of the eyebrows. "Well," drawled Kern, "that fellow is smarter than I thought he was.

The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and efficiency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have lengthened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their invention's have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency.

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

"The rights of the automobile driver -as outlined there are read Into the Michigan law and are as follows: **Ko owner or operator of an automobile is therefore exempt from liability for a collision in a public, street by simply showing that at the time -of the accident he did not run at a •speed exceeding the limit alio wad by law or ordinance; he still remains -bound to anticipate that he may meet persons at any point in the public •street and he must keep a proper lookout for them and keep his machine^ under such control as wilt enable him "to avoid a collision with another n, also using proper care and utipn. If necessary he muet slow wn and aJBorn or circumstances demand that the speed be slackened, or the machine be -Mopped and such a course be practicabie ta hiru.

Rockefeller, Jr., were, vigorouuly as- - tailed Friday by John P. Lawson, a member of the $oard of the United Mine Workers of America for the district which includes Colorado, when he appeared as a representative of •the coal miners at the hearing being conducted by the federal commission on industrial relations. Among other things, Mr. Lawson asserted "a skilful attempt is being made to substitute philantrophy for justice.'' Mr. Lawson criticized John D; Rockefeller, Jr., for his lack of knowledge of conditions, and said ,he was "equally as ignorant and indifferent as his trusted executives." The witness told of striking miners in Colorado being shot down by militia, "In the pay of the Colorado Fuel ft Iron Co.", and of hundreds of persons being dumped Into the desert without fodd or water, while;* others were driven over the snow of the mountain ranges. "If any appearance of poverty clings to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., Mr. Lawson declared, "it is due tt> Us own stupidity and corrupt policy. Had it taken the money it has spent in controlling officials and electorate In purchasing machine guns, the employment of gunmen and in crushing the aspirations of human beings and spent it in wages and improvement of working conditions, they would have had rich returns." The manner in which the directing forces of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. "handed down power from man to man," Mr. Lawson characterizes as- "a chain that no individual can climb." The Rockefeller foundations investigation into industrial unrest, Mr. Lawson said, is to be coMucted by "Mackenzie King, an alien, whose chief contribution to the industrial problem is a law that prescribes a jail sentence for the worker who dares tp lay down his tools." Mr. Lawson announced that he appeared before the commission at his own request. When the miners heard that the Rockefeller foundation was to be investigated, he said, they thought they should let the public know that "every deduction from their pay envelopes, everything. they lost, went into the treasury of the Rockefeller foundation."

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

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

She saw that it would be left for her to wind ap the interview and get out of the place without arousing too much much attention. With a selfpossession which astonished both men, knowing her immense interest In this matter, she laid down the stick, and, with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, remarked in an easy tone: "Well, it's curious! The ins and outs of a crime, I mean. Such a discovery ten years after the event (I think you said ten years) is very interesting." Then she sighed: "Alas! it's too late to benefit the one whose life it might have saved. Mr. Black, shall we be going? I have spent a most entertaining quarter of an hour." Mr. Black glanced from her to the sergeant before he Joined her. Then, with one of his sour smiles directed towards the former, he said: "I wouldn't be talking about this, sergeant It will do no good, and may subject us to ridicule."

Seeing which, she spoke up: "I don't know about that, I should think it but proper reparation to the dead to let It be known that his own story of innceenee has received this late confirmation."

The. introduction took place at the outer gates whither the judge had gone to receive them. Reuther threw aside her veil and looked up into the face bent courteously towards her. It had no look of Oliver. They were fine eyes notwithstanding, piercing by nature, but just now misty with a feeling that took away all her fear. He was going to like her; she saw it in every trembling line of his 'countenance, and at the thought a smile rose to her lips. With a courteous gesture he invited them in, but stopping to lock one gate before leading them through the other, Mrs. Scoville had time tq observe that since her last visit with its accompanying inroad of the populace, the.two openings which at this point gave access to the walk between the fences had been closed up with boards so rude and dingy that they must have come from some old lumber pile in attic or cellar. The judge detected her looking at them. "I have' cut off my nightly promenade," said he. "With youth in the house, more cheerful habits must prevail. Tomorrow I shall have my lawn cut, and it I must walk after sundown I will walk there." The two women exchanged glances. Perhaps their gloomy anticipations were not going to be realized. But once within the house, the Judge showed embarrassment '1 have' few comforts to' offer," said he, opening a door at bis right and then hastily closing it again. "This part of the house iMt as you see, completely dismantled and not—very elean. .Bat yon shall have carte blancfte to arrange to your liking one of these rooms for your sitting room and parlor.

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

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

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

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

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

The merchant, the manu. facturer, tbe miner, the miller, ^ e lumberman and the cattleman h%ye had their traffic bureaus thoroughly organised and in many instances they have pursued the railroad witfe^ mercy and with the power wf org^B.

A glance ^ the freight tariffs abundantly prcv^fi this assertion.

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

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

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

I acknowledge that when you awakened and aroused yourself to a feeling of anger and honest indignation—for which I did not blame you in the feast, because you had been a long and steady contributor to my Idleness— then you had me on the hip and I was compelled to seek some other method of subsistence, although it did go hard with me to be compelled to go to work after so many years. But you must not be too hard on me, because I had merely taken advantage of the existing conditions. I had cheerfully and joyfully taken your money. X had written you such optimistic and jollying letters that you quickly and generously responded by sending the cash with your orders and ' we had taken the toll that we figured you would stand without a "holler." We had studied you, gentle ^reader, and we had figured out to a cent just what you would stand when a "touch" was made. Tou must acknowledge that we did not fall to weigh you consistently and advisedly, because we had succeeded in exacting the toll which made us prosperous. The people are awakening to a realization of their condition, and the inhabitants of the 8mall towns and of the rural districts are beginning to realise that they are simply killing the future of their communities by sending their money away to the big mail order houses in the cities. We hear all sorts of recriminations and hard words addressed to the people in the villages and on the farms who send their money away to the mail order houses In Chicago and elsewhere, but the masses have considered it their privilege to do as they please without regard for the interests of their communities.

Which goes to show that human nat u r e prefers, at times, to trust in the unknown, rather than In that with which we are familiar. But when you come to think of It. there is a responsibility dealing with our own fortunes, and the fortunes of those who will follow us in this life, which does not permit ua to always follow our Inclinations. We must think for the future as well as for the present • We live in a community togelhei with a lot of neighbors. We meet them In connection with our everyday affairs, and we have opinions that differ with our neighbors. There Is no one subject in the, whole world upon which we all agree, therefore It is but natural that we have many differences. We can condone the differences of opinion and decline to enter into controversies, or we can argue whenever we have the chance, and eng-ige in constant strife. Which is the best way to get along? The man who argues all his life has little time for other affairs. The man who declines to become involved in wordy discussions has plenty of time to attend to bis own business. And in this world it is the man who attends to his own business who prospers. This life is made up of disputes and arguments. You can argue with your best friend until you become a pest and an unwelcome visitor. You can spend your time discussing the affairs of others until, no matter if you win your arguments, you will discover that you have made yourself unpopular. Unpopularity is not an asset in the business of life. It never paid a dividend. It never brought In any wages. And it is strictly your business to try to make the best of everything In your community, to help create harmony, to "boost" your home town ail the time and to help those who can help you. Harmony creates peace, and peace engenders prosperity. Your town wants peace and harmony, especially between the people and the merchants It Is peace and harmony that make business good—that add a value to your own house and lot. Envy walks hand in hand with malice down every village street and when this pair appears on the street the white dove of peace flutters into a corner and hides.

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

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

AH this talk about the exploitation of labor by capital, class distinction, living wage, high cost of living, and so forth, doeent hold the slightest interest for the Canadian fanner. Why? Because he has proved that you can't begin too poor to become rich in Canada; that free homesteads preclude the possibility of being, robbed of freedom and independence; that the high cost of Irving cant hurt the man who grows moat of his own necessities; that his labor brings reward in exact and Just proportion to time and intelligence invested.

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

"Ah, Judge Ostrander," she exclaimed in a hasty but not ungraceful greeting, "you are very punctual. I -was not looking for you yet." Then, «8 ehe noted the gloom under which he was laboring, she continued with Teal feeling, 'Indeed, I appreciate this sacrifice you have made to my wishes. It was asking a great deal of you to come here; but I saw no other way of making my point clear. Come oyer here, Peggy, and build me a little house out of these stones. Tou don't mind the child, do you. judge? She may offer a diversion if our retreat is invaded." The gesture of disavowal which he made was courteous but insincere. He did mind the child, but he could not explain why; besides, he must overcome such folly, "Now," she continued as she rejoined him on the place where he had taken his stand, "I will ask you to go hack with me to the hour when John Scoville left the tavern on that fatal day. I am not now on oath, hut I might as well be for any slip I shall make in the exact truth. I was making plea in the kitchen, when eome one came running in to say that Reuther had strayed away from the front yard. And here I found her, sir, right In the heart of these ruins. She playing with stones just as dear is doing now. Greatly relieved, I was taking her away when I thought I heard John calling. Stepping up to the edge'close behind where you are standing, ..sir—yes, there, where you set such a broad outlook up and down the ravine—I glanced in the direction from which I had heard his call—Just wait a momenV Wr~T~want to"know the exact time.'* Stopping, she pulled out her watch and looked at It; while he, faltering up to the verge which she had pointed out, followed her movements with strange intensity as she went on to say in explanation of her act: 'The time is important, on account of a certain demonstration I am anxious to make. Now if you will lean a little forward and look where I am pointing, you will notice at the turn of the stream a spot of ground more open than the rest Please keep your eyes on that spot, tor it was there X saw at this very hour twelve years ago the shadow of an approaching figure; and it is there yon win presently see one similar, if the hoy I have tried to interest in this experiment does not fail me. Now* now, sir! We ehould see his shadow before we see him. Oh, I hope the underbrush and trees have not grown up too thick* I tried to thin them out today. Are yon watching* sir?" Be seemed to be, but she dared not turn to look. Both ngnree loaned, intent, and in another moment she had gripped his arm ami dang there. "Did yon n e a r she whispered. "Don* mind the boy; it*s the shadow I wanted yon to notice. DM yon observe anything marked, about itr* : She had drawn him back into the ruins. They were standing in that one secluded corner under the ran* gable, and she was gaming np at she entreated as he to answer. With a hurried Una, he met her took and with a slight emphasis: •The hoy hesi a etkk. I say that he was whittling i t •Ah!* no with a decided peak in front My husband wore such a cap—the only one I know of in town. - What more did I need as proof that-it was his shadow I saw?" ~ ' . •And wasn't it?" %' "Judgo-Oatmnder, I never thought differently tift after :4$e trial-rtiU after tp$. earth closedjtaer <my poor husband's rema^w, t.'JBJftJ was why I could-say .^neiftlnV ^ ?tfs defense-1- why I did not/believe him when he declaredHhat he had W , h i s stick behind fe^jjsy when'he f a n ^ p the bluff after Reuther. But later,/when it was all over, when the disgrace of his death. and the necessity of seeking a home elsewhere drove me Into selling the tavern and all Its effects, I found something which, changed my mind in this regard, and made me confident that I had done my husband a great injustice." •*tou found? What do you mean by that? What could you have found f "His peaked cap lying in a corner of the garret He had not worn it that day; for when he came back to be hustled off again by thevcrowd he was without hat of any kinu, and he never returned again to his home-ryou know that judge. I had seen the shadow of some other man approaching Dark Hollow, Whose, I am in this town now to find out." Judge Ostrander was a man of keen perception, quick to grasp an idea, quick to form an opinion. But his mind acted slowly tonight Deborah Scoville wondered at the blanknees of his gaze and the slow way in which he seemed to take In this astounding fact. s At last he found voice and with It gave some evidence of his usual acumen. "Madam, a shadow is an uncertain foundation on which to build such an edifice as you plan. A dosen men might have come down that path with or without sticks before Mr. Etheridge reached the bridge and fell a victim to the assault which laid him low." "I thought the time was pretty clearly settled by the hour he left your house. The sun had not set when he turned your corner on hie way home. 80 several people said who saw him. Besides—" "Yes; there is a 'besides.' I'm sure of it" *'I saw the tall figure of a man, whom I afterwards made sure was Mr. Etheridge, coming down Factory road on his way to the bridge when I turned about to get Reuther." "All of which you suppressed at the triat" T was not Questioned on this point sir." "Madam"—he was standing very near to her now, hemming her as It were into that decaying corner—-"I should have a very much higher opinion of your candor if you told me the whole story.*1 "I have, sir." His hands rose, one to the righthand wall, the other to the left and remained there with their palms resting heavily against the rotting plaster. She was more then ever hemmed in; hat though she felt a trifle frightened at his aspect which certainly was not usual, she faced him without shrinking and in very evident surprise. "It "seems too slight a fact to mention, and. indeed, I had forgotten it till yon pressed me, hot after we had passed the gates and were well out on the highway, I found that Reuther had left her little pall behind her here, and we came back and got i t Did yon mean that air?" "1 meant nothing; but I felt sure yon had not told all yon could about that fatal ten -minute*. Ton came hack. It is quite a walk from the road. The man whose shadow yon saw meat have reached the bridge by this time. What did yon see then or—hear r -Nothing. Abeolatety nothing, ledge. I was intent on finding the baby's pafl, and having foend it I hurried hack an the faster," m or was •"Ton are going to pursue this jacko'- lantern?*' "I am determined to. If you deny me aid and advice I shall eeek another counselor. John's name must be vindicated," He gave her a look, turned and glanced down at the child piling stone on stone and whimpering just a little when they tell. "Watch that baby for a while," he remarked, "and you will learn the lesson of most human endeavor. Madam, I have, a proposition to make you. Tou cannot wish to. remain at the inn, nor can yon be long happy separated from your daughter. I have lost Bela.

The man of mystery flinging aside the reticences of years to harbor an innocence which he refueed to let weigh against the claims of a son he had seen fit to banish from his heart and home!

"I shall not have my affairs adjusted for such a change before a week. If you accept I shall be very grateful. If you decline I shall close up my two rear gates, and go into solitary seclusion. I can cook a.meal if I have to." And she saw that he would do it; saw and wondered still more. '1 shall have to write to Reuther," she murmured.

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

Union Opposea "Full Crew" Mil. The Texas Farmers* Union registered its opposition to this character of legislation at the last annual meeting held in Fort Worth, Tex., August 4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote, aa follows: "The matter of prime importance to the farmers of this state is an adequate and efficient marketing system; and we recognise that such a system la impossible without adequate railroad facilities, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least possible cost We further recognise that the farmers and producers In the end pay approximately 95 per cent of the expenses of operating the railroads, aad it ia therefore to the interest of the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be as small aa Is possible, consistent with good service and aafety. We, therefore, call upon our law-makers, courts and Juries to bear the foregoing ***** l Q mind when dealing with the common carriers of this state, and we do especially reaffirm the declarations of the last annual convention of our State Union, opposing the passage of /the so-called 'full-crew* bill before the thirty-third legislature of Texas." The fanners of Missouri In the last election, by an overwhelming majority, swept this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come off of all statute books where it appears and no legislature of this nation should pass such a law or similar legislation which requires unnecessary expenditures. The same rule applies to all regulatory measures which increase the expenses of industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public- There is ofttimee a body of men assembled at legislatures—and they have a right to be there—who, in their seal for rendering their fellowassociates a service, sometimes favor an increase in the expenses of industry without due regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer's sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record for themselves, rub the skin off the shoulders of the farmer by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon his heavy load and under the lash of "be it enacted" goad bim ou to pull and surge at the traces of civil il The Parmer's Pay roil and How Meets It. Hs The annual payroll of agriculture approximates $12,000,000,000. A portion of the amount is shifted to foreign countries in exports, but the total payroll of industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, 114^52.000,000; manufacturers, $4,3*5,000,000; mining, $455,000,000; banks, $200,000,000; mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes the foam and gall at the task. When legislatures "cut a melon" for labor they hand the farmer a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry "dead heads" on their payrolls. Our own hired hands are not paid unleas we have something for them to do and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent Industries unless there is work for them. We must therefore insist upon the most rigid economy Legislative House-Cleaning Needed. While the war is on and there is a lull in business, we want all legislative bodies \o take an inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws.

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

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

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

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

At Avezxano those who got away and were only slightly wounded instated upon returning to search the ruins of their homes for relatives and friends. Survivors dug frantically into heaps of plaster and stone, often stained with blood. In many instances survivors fainted as their dead were brought to light in the ruins of the home. Then the heartbroken searcher had to be cared for by the members of the hastily organized relief committee. 30,000 Troops at Work. Thirty thousand soldiers have been distributed throughout the earthquake district and already large quantities of provisions and clothing, with wood for the construction of huts, have arrived. Bishop and Monks Lost. At Pesclna the cathedral belfry and the house of the bishop entirely disappeared. No trace of Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop of Pescina, and 20 Carmelites who lived with him has been found, and it is feared that all perished. ITALY'S DEAD MAY NUMBER THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND Loss of Life Was More Appalling Than at First Estimated KING ACTI E IN RELIEF , WORK AFTER EARTHQUAKE Reports Coming in From Stricken Cities and Villages Near Rome Tell of Suffering From Cold and Hunger. TOWNS IN QUAKE DISTRICT 4a. charge of the relief work in the various localities, while still incomplete, give an index of the event of the catastrophe as it affected the following towns: Rome—Many injured, but none killed. Avezzano and vicinity—15,000 killed and injured. Aielli—Nearly one thousand dead and injured. Arpino—150 known dead; scores injured. Albano—Many dead; town severely damaged. Arricia—50 dead and injured. Caxnpob&sso—20 known dead; town damaged; many reported burned in wreckage. Cori—Town partly demolished; casualties nnesttmated. Ciprano—No report of casualties; many houses wrecked. Cervetri—Seven reported killed. Filacciano—Three reported dead. Monte Rodondo—Five reported dead; Prof. Lulgi Megnati reported killed. Naples—None reported dead, but scores injured. GaHano—Several reported dead in ruins of famous cathedral; others buried alive in wreckage of homes. Megliano—Death list will be large, as whole city is reported demolished. Potensa (ninety miles east of Naples)—Many buried in rains; feared many of 10,609 population are dead; town badly damaged. Pon—600 reported dead out of 4,000 population; town demolished. JnOppi- owe oeea. Palestrino—Five known dead; many injured. Rtpl—Number known dead. 16; many hurt Bora—100 reported dead; town completely wrecked. In addition Hie following towns hare Rome—Detailed reports coming in from the provinces which suffered in the earthquake Thursday morning show that the number of deaths will .probably exceed the first estimates of 20,000, and will perhaps be more than 35,000, with nearly 50,000 injured. These figures are based on the conditions found by the relief organizations in towns and villages near Rome, especially in Avezzano, which was entirely destroyed with a loss of life that may surpass 10,000. The authorities do not attempt even to estimate the casualties in Campania and the southern part of the province of The Abruzzi, where the under secretary of public works is prganizing the relief work. The same situation is true of the towns of Sora, 15 miles southeast of Avezxano, Pesdesolido, Castellirl, Atina and Isolaliri, where the mortality Is supposed to have been: greatest. Conditions Are Appalling. Soldiers are now engaged in opening up the railroads and highways to those places which are as yet unrelieved since the disaster at Avezzano has monopolized the relief efforts. The conditions in Campania are said to be especially appalling. Although the killed and Injured are increasing, Italy has gone resolutely at the task of relief and is confident of handling the situation without outside aid. Offers from foreign countries have been declined with thanks, although Americans, French, British and other residents here are taking an active part. Fears that foreigners had lost their lives in the disaster have been dispelled by careful inquiry, and It is certain that no Americans were killed, though some naturalized emigrants are probably among the victims. King Victor Emmanuel has been extremely active, not only In directing the relief work, but actually participating ior it himself. When he returned by train from Avezzano during the night, he brought with him 40 injured who were distributed among the hospitals in Rome along with hundreds of others who are arriving in every sort of conveyance. Face Hunger and Exposure. Heavy reinforcements of troops and rescue and relief parties are trying to reach the inaccessible places and save the survivors, who are threatened with death from hanger and exposure, despite the admirable and rapid organisation of relief which is still insufficient A new pern now menaces stricken Avessano. The earthquake overturned the stone statue of the Virgin on the bank of Lake Fue'no. It fell into the emissarium which drains the lake and stopped up the waters so that a flood is feared, just na in previous years before the drainage system was pat in. People who escaped the shock are; now seeing from the surrounding countryside, while an army of eap» pen is striving to remove the fallen statue and avert another catastrophe. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

It is timely to recall that Admiral Montagu reported about Napoleon's flat-bottomed boats after he had captured one of them. "In short, sir, these vessels to my mind are completely contemptible and ridiculous, and I therefore conclude that the number collected at Boulogne are to keep our attention on the qui vive and to gloss over the real attack meditated from other points-.** If Napoleon ever seriously contemplated subduing England by means of these craft, the admiral would have agreed with the Parisian wits, who dubbed their emperor "Don Quixote de la Manche."—London Chronicle. Joys of Fishing. Bacon—I see natives of the eastern slopes of_the Andes, in Bolivia, scatter the juice of a tree on^streams to render fish Insensible so they can be caught by the hands.

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

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

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

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