And an interesting fact about •It is the^ relationship it bears to life itself. For consider: one sign 1 fi c a 11 o n of " " w i n d " i s "breath," a n d t "spirit** is def rlved from the Latin "spiritus. jbreath; while-the Greek word for spirit broach) mean a both "wind" and "spirit," and is frequently translated . "'the spirit of the Lord." Our English "wind" comes from the root wa, to Wow, and was originally the present participle of the verb with the sense of "blowing." Etymologlcally, therefore, there is an interesting connection between the breath of the living creature, the spirit of the Lord, and the familiar phenomenon of wind, a relationship. most l&vggestive when reading "The Lord God breathed Into his nostrils the breath of life," "a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind" at Pentecost, "the wind of the Lord," and the remarkable passage In Eaek. 37:9: "Come from the fen? winder-© 1>rea^b. ..and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." What is this mighty force? "Merely air in movement," replies the-physiclst; and he starts explaining the , difference between still, dead air and air in motion, and dwells on the fact of the movement being undiscerned by the eye, though its effects are visible through the pressure it exerts upon every object that lies in its path. We compare the ordinary pressure of the air per square Inch of surface at the sea level (14.73 lb.) with the tremendous pressure of the wind blowing a hurricane at 92 miles an hour, the kindly pressure it exerts upon our bodies to prevent them from dropping . . off the earth, and the pressure it exerts inside a soap bubble as well as outside it, thus making possible one of the daintiest nature toys imaginable. Add a little pressure to the air outside, blow upon the bubble, and the magician wind makes It vanish before our eye* M^P2*2JDf2ff$33r223ttKBBk23Ot0^jr £ORG&*r<&&t+ and knees along that passage. i o w is air set In motion? Briefly, **f a *» teese hygienic times people the normal pressure of air is «sturbed5fe2*^to be tound who Insist on tightly directly one part is heated more than - * - • - * - - 4 •another, for heat causes air to expand .and rise. In doing so it leaves a space (Into which the cooler surrounding air presses. This, then, is 4 e key to wind: difference of pressure in adclosing windows, door and ventliater in the grate at night, preferring warm but vitiated air to the energising current which, if it had the chance, would renovate body and mind. It Is worth „ w _„ while visiting certain wards of hospi- Joining parts of a stratum of air, the tale to see what a part wind plays in further wonders of scientific discovery. MeanwhUe we can produce conditions which create wind on a small scale. Ail we have to do Is to light a fire in a room, and the heated air above the grate, being lighter than the air in the room, ascends'the chimney, while the cool outer air from the landing or outside the window flows towards the fireplace and a draught of wind on a small scale Is created. This law of the ascension of warm air and its replacement by cool air is the secret of effectual ventilation. It is a matter of keeping up artificially a constant circuit of air, and, dependent On the aspect of the house and its position with regard to the prevailing winds, of utilizing these conditions to advantage. One sometimes finds singular ignorance of the law of circulation. A friend will visit a patient lying ill with an Infectious disease, and take a seat anywhere but where he should do so, i. e. in a'line .between the window and the fireplace, or the open door and the' fireplace. Another person tries to escape down a passage filled with smoke when the house ia on fire, but fails to^avall himself of the freshest current of air near the floor. He should creep on hands result of, inequality of temperature. But In determining wind movements certain conditions have to be considered* For Instance, there is proximity to land or sea, for the air over land {beats more rapidly than that over water. The presence of water vapor in* [finances the creation of wind, since jibe warm air, which alone can hold jwater vapor, has a pressure much lighter than that of dry, cold air.

Their *alson d'etre is stotiar to that of the trades. The presence of land, owing to its greater heating power, interferes with the formation and direction of the winds, notably in the ease of the monsoons of South Asia; where seasonal variations follow the apparent path of the sun, alternately over land and over water. Land and sea breexes alternate by day and night along a coast because of the unequal heat acquired by the air over water and over aea. The direction of local winds Is much affected by the disposition and height of the land, though over huge expanses of water they have a clear path. It would take too long to consider here the operation and locale of particular winds; but something should be said of the wonderful system of their working. Here is a beneficent transference of warm air from the heated tropical regions, where its. continued presence would make life unendurable, to the temperate regions, where Its mildness is wanted to "temper** the cold. To the temperate regions, where are the big habitable areas of land, come the-* winds most suitable for mankind, enabling him to work in comfort; while to the tropica^ regions blow the cooling- trade winds, aiding navigation westward during the ages before the advent of steam and electric power. , The system of the winds is interwoven with the^history^of mankind— his migrations,'his commerce, his industries, his physical and mental activities. Britons owe more of their adaptability and endurance than they imagine to the alternation, the clock-, wise changes of the wind, front the soft southern breesesv the moisture* laden west winds, to the bracinj northeastern and east winds which have acquired icy coldness In passing over the plains and steppes of northeast and east Europe.

SAG£ TEA DARKENS GRAY HAIR TO ANY SHADE TRY IT1 Keep Your Looks Youthful, Park, Glossy and Thick With Garden •age and Sulphur. When yon darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can < buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." Tou just dampen a sponge or soft brush' with it and draw this through your hair, taking ne small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully* darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Tou will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv,^ No Fortune Telling In Germany. Fortune tellers now are forbidden to practice in any part of the German empire. Soon after the war broke out, they began to do an enormous business with relatives of soldiers in the field, who wanted to know how things were going with them. Visits to the-fortune tellers often had tragic consequences, as many of the callers were in a high state of nervous tension. The uncertainty of relatives regarding their men folk at the front has been aggravated by an alleged muddle of the field-postal organisation, which Is being severely criticized by the newspapers.

Good gracious, if you had furnished your local merchants with the cash you sent to me, in advance, they would ail be millionaires, now, instead of plodding along trying to make both ends meet. * Take it, for instance, that you sent me an order for a lot of thlnga including hardware. Did you ever wonder why the hatchets and hammers and other tools broke so easily or would not .keep an edge? Did you wonder why the locks became broken and out of order? Did you wondor why nothing Would work just as it should? Your dealer in your own town buys goods that he feels sure will give service and be satisfactory. If not you can make him give you a duplicate that will fill the bill. But he is a different proposition. He haa to be right there in his store to meet you face to face while my concern is a long ways off. In groceries too. It was my custom to buy up what we call "job lota" of any merchandise whatever. If a merchant went broke and went into, bankruptcy I used to bid on his stock. I would buy i t for cash, for all the way from fifteen cents to forty or fifty cent* on the dollar. He always wanted cash and waa willing to aacriflee hja goods at any price.

I would call an article "valued at" say $8» and price it at $8.80. It would have coat us about half a dollar or perhaps less. Cases of tomatoea, corn, fruit and other canned goods were my specialty. Many and many a. time have I dug up from the cellar ot from the back of the shelvee of some old merchant whom 1 bought out for cash at a tery small price* a lot of old cane, bulged out, and rutted and looking aa if they had been there for year*.

The reason why one kind ot wood is more durable than another is owing to the fact that one contains the substance known aa tyloae in more generous quantities. Tyloae is the material which fills the pores of the wood and resists tha entrance or action of decay. For instance, white oak ia well suited and much used for barrel staves, where barrels are to contain liquid, while, on the ether hand, red oak, which ia apparently of the aame structure, ia not at all suited lor the purpose. A close examination of the white oak reveam the presence of the tyloae which ecele all the little pores of the woodV Bed oak haa none ot the tylose. For thia reason a fence post of white oak will last much longer in service than one of red. Timber engineera who inject creosote and other substances into, wood to retard decay long afb made lists of species that were hard to treat, and others which werV«eeyr, The preservative fluids, we are told* penetrate certain woods to a considerable depths when moderate preeaure la aps&ed; while others are almost impervious, no matter how great the preeaure.

Get the Most Out of Your Flour- How to live substantially and save money on a small income is a problem concerning thousands of Detroit housewives. Flour i.s the mn.st nutritions food at the least cost p«-r pound you can buy. Comparing food v.-bies aud their cost, it will pay you to u.e more fh::r—and when you buy, the real saving will be in getting the most baking possible out of your l'our. Columbus High Grade Flour! Into Cohmihus Flour we put the very best grade of wheat that can be purchased. Out of this flour you get the greatest variety of wholesome food that can be produced from any one kind of foodstuff. •There was a.time when the good housewife had to have a special flour for bread and one for pastry. This is no longer the case. Scientific milling in the -. . ... David Stott Flour Mills has 3 ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ h l ™ S h t together the two es- * sentiuls for good bread and good pastry. The great advantages of Columbus Flour then are, a H i g h Grade Flour, milled £feir ttm with the utmost care in a spotlessly clean mill — t h a t means purity. Xext, *a the fact that you can do all of your baking —bread, pies, cakes, cookies, biscuits, rolls, etc., from one sack of flour—no need of two different packages in your kitchen. In addition to these two great features there is the greater food value at less cost than meats. If you wijfr just put Columbus Flour to the baking test in every way possible, you'll discover a flour that is of more value to you than any other flour you've ever used.

F M MARSHALS REPORT IS GOOD Property Loss Is Two Million Less In 1914 Than In Previous Year PRESS OF STATE IS THANKED Much Work of Educational Nature Has Been Done By Department at Comparatively Small Cost. «*.• ^ PINCKNEY DISPATCH PRESIDENT INTIMATES HE MAY SEEK SECOND TERM Lansing—In the fourth annual report of the state fire marshal bureau to Governor Ferris, Fire Marshal John T. Winship calls attention to three important duties of that office,—the investigation of incendiary fires, enforcement of the moving picture law, and. the reduction of fire waste, coupled with which is the incessant effort to prevent loss of life. Property destroyed by fire in Michigan in ldl4 amounted to- over $2,000,000 less than in 1913, the loss being $7,446, 158.57 in 1913 and $5,370,592.00 in 1!»14. 9,660 fires occurred in 1913, and but 7,995 in 1914, a reduction of 1,665. Mr. Winship's report shows that more work was accomplished in 1914 than in any one year since the organization of the bureau, and considerable credit for the showing is given to Assistant Fire Marshal Robinson and his force, the Michigan Fire Prevention association and the local fire chiefs, and to the press of the state for valuable co-operation and support. Mr. Winship again recommends suitable remuneration of fire Chiefs of the state for work done under the direction of the bureau, especially those chiefs connected with volunteer departments. According to the report the "safety first" campaign conducted by the bureau has met with a prompt response, from city officials, fire chiefs and the general public, and as a result fire escapes, necessary exits, and other safeguards have been provided in buildings open to the public. A biweekly bulletin service was inaugurated during the year, the articles of interest to the public bearing upon fire waste, fire prevention, and certain phases of insurance in general, have been circulated. Special bulletins of timely interest were issued, calling attention to unsafe and dangerous publio building conditions, Fourth of July dangers, cold weather hints as regards conditions of stoves, furnaces, etc. Attention Is called in the report to the fact that statistics show that about 64 percent of all fires occur in the home, dwellings usually being built of wood and with shingle roofs, and to the many deaths and serious accidents occurring from the careless use of gasoline, kerosene and other explosives, in the majority of which cases women and children are the victims. Public school authorities have been appealed to by Mr. Winship to set aside brief periods for discussion of the subject of fire prevention by the pupils, and he is of the opinion that what the child Is taught in the school, for the safety of the home, he is very apt to carry into his business relations and activities. Fire Marshal Winship in the report Btates that the most discouraging feature in connection with the work of the bureau is the ill success of the efforts to prosecute the "firebug." During the year sixty fires mere investigated, and of nine cases which reached the circuit court, only four convictions resulted. At least four lives were lost in 1914 in Michigan because of incendiary fires. The property loss from such fires during the year was $146,691.00 less than in 1918. That the Michigan moving picture law is absolutely just what the legislature intended it should be, is very clearly demonstrated by several fires in these theatses the past year, says Mr. Winship. The records show that a number of such fires occurring in booth constructed in accordance with the law, have caused no panics and but very little property damage, while two very costly and disastrous fires occurred hi theatres operating in violation of the law aad without the knowledge of the bureau inspectors. There are 54$ licensed moving picture theatres in Michigan, an increase of 10$. over 1912. During 1914 70 theatres were "ordered to discontinue the use *6f picture*, and many were permanently dosed because of failure J», comply with the law. Six eomjmfttsts were nude during the yaw tor of the law/sad with bat exceptk* rstpnaissts have piawded guilty aad paid fines. Ur/ The report shows that the Jsmttjea ^ .

Flint—Under the direction of Luther L. Wright, superintendent of the Michigan School for the Deaf, a census of the deaf of the.state is now being taken. Th* figures are not yet complete, but Mr. Wright estimates that his average attendance will be increased by about 200 within the next two yean. The school now has 320 students enrolled. When Mr. Wright took office a year ago it had about 170. From figures now on file it is said that the increase in attendance will far exceed the average yearly growth. Fifty-Seven Ships In Parade.

There will be 21 battleships headed by the dreadnaught Wyoming* Admiral Fletcher's flagship, 23 torpedo-boat destroyers aad IS fl^FM<y1ss. l***liH>1>g' colliers and auppiy Washington—Great Brltain'a preliminary reply to the note from the United States government, requesting an improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet, was made public here and in London Sunday by mutual agreement between the state department and the British foreign office. The British communication concurs in the view of the United States that commerce between neutral nations should be interfered with only when imperatively necessary, and officials of the Washington government construed it as conceding that the principles expressed by the American note were just and upheld by the previously accepted usage of International law. The only formal continent made Sunday night was contained in a brief statement issued by Secretary Bryan, who said: "This answer being preliminary, and not being intended as a complete reply, we will postpone comment until the full answer is received."« Briefly, the British note, while conceding the principles of the American government's contentions, points out difficulties In actual practice, refers to alleged fraudulent practices by shippers and cites statistics showing an increase, rather than a decrease in certain neutral commerce, in support of Great Britain's suspicions that Germany and Austria have been indirectly obtaining contraband through neutral countries. The note promises, however, that Great Britain will "make redress" whenever the action of the British fleet "may unlntentially exceed" the limits of international law. While they are generally reserved in their comment, it may be stated authoritatively that high officials of the United States government regard the tone of the note as entirely friendly and believe, moreover, that the discussion which will follow it will be carried on in the same vein, with a desire on the part of both countries to reach a satisfactory understanding. The admission by Great Britain of one of the chief points in the American note—that the relations between neutrals were those of normal times, of peace and not of war—was gratifying to officials, who believed that the controversy would now resolve itself into a frank discussion of what were the actual necessities of the case which impel Interference by a belligerent when suspecting that the ultimate destination of a neutral cargo is belligerent territory. The statistics brought forth to show that commerce between the United States and neutral countries contiguous to Germany and Austria had increased materially since the outbreak of the war were regarded here as misleading. It was pointed out that in view of the breaking down of the normal routes of commerce with Germany and Austria, many non-contraband/ products had been shipped through neutral countries. Similarly, the neutral countries which previously, . hod obtained much of their 1 supplies, from belligerents, were now importing from the United States. The admission of Great Britain that as to foodstuffs and conditional contraband, Lord Salisbury's doctrine, quoted In the American note, would be followed in practice by the British, foodstuffs being held up only when destined to an enemy's force, also was pleasing to American officials. There Is every reason to that the United States wffl not the view of Great Britain that must be taken into sort for eTS ml nation. MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock, Grain and Genera! Farm Produce.

What4 are you after? Why are you raking up these bygones, which only make the present condition of affairs darker and more hopeless? Oliver Ostrander, under no circumstances and by means of no sophistries, can ever marry the daughter of John ScovUle. I should think you would see that for yourself." "But If John should be proved to have suffered wrongfully? If he should be shown to have been innocent?" His rebuke was quick, instant With a force and earnestness which recalled the courtroom he replied: "Madam, your hopes and wishes have misled you. Tour husband was a guilty man; as guilty a man as any judge ever passed sentence upon." "But he swore the day I last visited him in the prison, with his arms pressed tight about me and his eye looking straight into mine as you are looking now, that he never struck that blow. I did not believe him then; there were too many dark spots in my memory of old lies premeditated and which had already netted so many -destructive of my happiness; but I hearts. Breathlessly she watched him* and, as she watched, she noted the heavy lines carved in bis face by thought and .possibly by Borrow, slowly relax "and his eyes fill with a wistful tenderness. "Parents must learn to endure bitterness. I have not been exempt myself from such. Tour child will not die, Tou have years of mutual com* nenionshlp before you, while I have nothing. And now let us end this interview, so painful to us both. Tou Have said—" "No," she broke in with sudden vehemence, all the more startling from the restraint in which she .had held berself up to this moment, "I have not said—I have not begun to say what seethes like a consuming Are in my breast I spoke of a miracle—will you not listen, judge? I am not wild; X am not unconscious of presumption. I S A only in earnest in deadly ear- A miracle is possible. The gulf these two may yet. be spanned. I see a way—" What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness? The face which had not lost an its underlying benignancy even when it looked Its coldest had now become settled and hard. His manner was absolutely repellent as he broke in with the quick disclaimer: "But there is no way. What miracle could ever make your daughter, lovely as she undoubtedly is, a fitting match-for my son! None, madam, absolutely none. Such an alliance would be monstrous; unnatural." "Why?" The word came out boldly. "Because her father died the death of a criminal ?u The answer was equally, blunt "Tea; a criminal over whose trial hie father presided as judge.** Quick as a flash, however, came the retort "A judge, however, who showed him every consideration possible. I told at the time and I have been sured by many since that yon were believed him later, and I believe him now." "Madam, this is quite unprofitable. A jury of his peers condemned him as guilty and the law compelled me to pass sentence upon him. The inevitable must be accepted. I have said my last word." "But not heard mine," ehe panted. T o r me to acknowledge the inevitable where my, daughter's life and happiness are concerned would make me seem a coward in my own eyes. Helped or unhelped, with fekh sympathy or without the sympathy of one who I hoped would show himself my friend, I shall proceed with the task to which I have dedicated myself. Tou will forgive me, judge. Ton see that John's last declaration of innocence goes further with me than your belief, backed as it le by the full weight of the law.** Oasing at her as at one gone suddenly demented, he said: "I fail |p understand you, Mrs.—-I will call you Mrs. AverilL Tou speak of a task. What task?" T h e only one I have a heart for— the proving that Renther Is not the child of a willful murderer; that another man did the deed for which he suffered. I can do it I feel confident that I can do It; and if yon will not help me—M "Help you! After what I have said and reiterated that he is guilty, guilty, guilty?" Advancing upon her with each repetlon of the word, he towered before her, an imposing, almost formidable .figure. She faced again his anger, which might well be righteous, and with almost preternatural insight boldly declared: T o u are too vehement to quite convince me, Judge Ostrander. Acknowledge it or not, there Is more doubt than certainty in your mind; a doubt which ultimately will toad yon to help Then my way should broadenway, at the end of which I see a united couple—my daughter and your more than just to him in your rulings, I eon, Oh, she is worthy of JhJaV* the Judge Ostrander"—he had taken a step toward the nan door; but he paused at this uttesance of his name— "answer me this one question. Why did yon do this? Yon mast have hated him deeply—your feeling for Mr. Btheridge was weU known. Then why such magnanimity toward the man who stood on trial for killing him?" Unaccustomed to be questioned, though living is an atmosphere of continual yes and no, he stared at the veiled features of one who so dared, s s If he found It hard to excuse such pre* sumption.

This is no 13 tawesaa irons of the past ft esn never be reonomed; the woman broke forth, as -he made another repellent and imperative gesture, "ask anyone In the town where we have lived." Abruptly and without apology for his rudeness. Judge Ostrander turned his back, then with s snick whirl ahont which brought him face to face with her once more, he impetuously asked: "Madam, you were In my house this mornmg.

No man would be likely to resist it unless his armor were thrice forged. Would he himself be able to? He began to experience a cold fear—a dread which drew a black veil over the future; a blacker vnft than that which had hitherto rested upon it But his face showed nothing. He proceeded, with a piercing intensity not to be withstood: ^ "When you entered my house this morning did you come directly to my room?" "Tea. Bela told me just how to reach it" "And when you saw me Indisposed— unable, in fact, to greet you—what did you do then?" With the force and meaning of one who takes ah oath, she brought her hand, palm downward on the table before her, as she steadily replied: "I flew back into the room through which I had come, undecided whether to fly the house or wait for what might happen to yon. I did not dare ts go till Bela came back. So I stayed watching in a dark corner of that same room. I never left it till the crowd came in. Then I slid out behind them." "Was the child with you—at your side I mean, all this time?" "I never let go her hand." "Woman, you are keeping nothing backr "Nothing but my terror at the sight of Bela running in all bloody to escape the people pressing after him." Sincerity was in her manner and in .her voice. The judge breathed more easily, and made the remark: "No one with hearing unimpaired can realise the suspicion of the deaf, nor can anyone who is not subject to attacks like mine conceive the doubts with which a man so cursed views those who have been active about him while the world to him was blank." Thus he dismissed the present subject, to surprise her by a renewal of the old one. "What are your reasons," said he, "for the hopes you have just ex* pressed? I think it your duty to tell me before we go any further. "Excuse me for tonight What I have to tell—or rather, what I have to show you—requires daylight** Then, it tonight Tomorrow I will tell yon everything. But it will have to he in the place I have mentioned. Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one-half hour before sunset? Please be exact as to,£he time. Tou will see why, if you come." He leaned across the table—they were oh opposite sides of it—plunging his eyes into hers, then drew back, and remarked with an aspect of gloom bat with much leas the appearance of distrust: "A very odd request madam I hope you have good reason for it;" adding, "I bury Bela tomorrow and the cemetery is in this direction. I will meet you where you eay and at the hoar you name.' And, regarding him closely as, he spoke, she saw that for all the correctness of his manner and the how of respectful courtesy with which ha Instantly withdrew, that deep would be his anger and unquestionable the results to her if she failed to satisfy him at this meeting of the value of her point in reawakening justice and changing public opinion. Hs Was 8erutinlsina Her Keenly. ss she became conscious of his astonmhment added falteringly: "Have yon any objection to meeting me tomorrow on the bran* overlooking CHAPTER V. Excerpts. One of the lodgers at the Claymore inn had great cause tor complaint the next morning. A restless tramping over his head had kept him awake all night That It was intermittent had made it all the more intolerable. Just when he thought it had stopped It would start up again—to and fro, to and fro, as regular as clockwork and much more disturbing. But the complaint never reached Mrs. Averill. The landlady had been restless herself. Indeed, the night had been one of thought and feeling to more than one person in whom we are interested. The feeling we can understand; the thought—that is, Mrs. Averill's thought—we should de well to follow. The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge? Ever since the discovery which had" changed Reuther'B prospects she had instinctively looked to this one source for aid and sympathy. But her faith had been sorely 'shaken in the interview just related. He was not the friend she had hoped to find. He had insisted upon her husband's guilt and he had remained unmoved, or but very little moved, by the disappointment of his son—his only remaining link to life. Judge Ostrander might seem cold—both manner and temper would naturally be much affected by his unique and solitary mods of life—but at heart he must love Oliver. It was not in nature for it to be otherwise. And yet— It was at this point in her musing that there came one of the breaks la her restless pacing.

You Don't Have to Lie About Canada—The Simple Truth Is Enough. The natural resources of the country are so vast that they cannot be told in mere figures. Man can only tell of what tiny portions have dona. He can only say^ "I am more prosperous than I ever eipectod to be." And yet If a farmer expects to sue* coed on land that he has been forced to pay l&O to |100 an acre for he ought to feat assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his dlnpiTtfil absolutely free. If ho has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements —he will find h<**•*»'*' ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe. But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the dMnculties he encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made-up of two things, natural resources and human labor. Canada has the one and you the other. A postal card stands between -you and the Canadian government agent.

Even where tor convenience and economy it is deairable to hate the dairy under the same roof aa the lee .haws* It is not satisfactory to attempt to combine the lee storage with a cold etatj. When It Is necessary to use lea for ehming milk and other dairy products It Is better to remove the lee from the lee bouse or compartment and place it in a specially constructed ice bos or refrigerator, rather than to attempt to maintain a cold room by storing the ice about and In contact with It The chief argument against the eomblned arrangement Is that It prevent* the storage of Ice In a solid mass.

Advantage •ill be taken of these fluctuations to haobend the lee supply when the two There are dsoidod ae> in having the toe supply Lveuient to the dairy house or refrigerator, but It la poor economy'to build the refrigerator or cold store toaide the lee atorage. The arrangement suggested to figures 1 and S la to be preferred. _ Where an abundant supply of natural lee can be harvested annually It will be a simple matter to maintain high-class refrigeration by Installing a brine-circulating system. The principle on which this patented system works Is the same as mechanical refrigeration, except that the cold Is secured through a freealng mixture of lee and salt In a tank to which the primary coils are located, as shown at B to figure 3. As the brine to these colls becomes, chilled It passes out through the bottom of the colls aadslowly flows through the coils marked C, which, are located to the cooling room. The heat of this room Is absorbed by these chilled pipes, and as the brine wanna up it passes out and up Into the primary'coils, and in this way a continuous circulation la maintained between the two pipe systems. For convenience, the toe house can be made a part of the structure, so that the ice can be elevated above the storage chamber and directly Into the crusher, which can be located to the attic above the primary coils Indicated it B. As the drawing shows, the space above the cooling room might be utilised aa a farm shop or for a cooperage, ir one were to be installed in connection with an apple orchard. It would not be advisable to attempt to Install this system without having an experienced engineer calculate the piping necessary, tor any gives atorage room as well as the cooling tank. The question of installation la also a very important one, and should be carefully specified. This construction is adapted to small or to very extensive plants. The department of agriculture used this system in a plant which has bees to* stalled at the Arlington experimental farm. The cooling room to this case Is 88 by SO feet with eight-foot ceil* toga. SeJfcleat apaee la thereby provided to store 300 barrels of apples.

The present appraisal gives a value of the system of upwards 640,000,000 more than the appraisal of 1905, although the mile* age is but little more than it was In 1005. Prof. Cooley says that he has bean well aware that the. first question thst would be asked vhen the present appraisal was given to the public Is why this great increase with the mileage substantially the same. He tells that the present appraisal Is tar mors thorough than Were any of the other three. The 1600 appraisal which covered aU the railroads of Michigan, then about 11,000 miles, he had to make in about four months because Gov. Plngree wak^sd it quiok for use in forcing bis railroad tax bills through^ the legislature. Not much nrore time Was taken for the U$$ and 1W5 appraisals. The present appraisal has occupied, for nearly seven months, a fores larger than was used to sppraise 11,000 miles in '1000. In the 1000 appraisal the work covered S7 point* or Bubject matters, while this time the number was 77. Washington—GeJuiral~VU!ay as eomnunder- ia<hief of the forces of tho Gutierres gov«rsment baa ordered General Juan Csbrat with 6,000 men, to take charge of the general stt«ation in Sosors, superseding General Maytorena at Naeo. This order Is said to have been decided upon by the -Gutierres government as the best way to prevent eontinusneo of hostUities at Naco and Agua PrieU, where there are compars/ trvely small <3arransa forces. Grigadie^^eneral Hugh Scott, chief of stall of the United States army, who went to Nacb, In an effort to obtain the neutralisation of that place and prevent bullets from falling Into American territory, has advised the war department that the Cabral troops are now at Casus Grandes. Maytorena has delayed signing any agreement for the removal of his forces pending the arrival of Cabral. The combined Cabral and Maytorena forces will total about 12,000 men, while General Hilt the Carransa adherent has Only about 4,000 men. Officials here beyond saying that this situation would presently adjust Itself, declined to comment on it" It generally believed, however, that General Cabral would sign an agreement by which Naco would , be declared neutral and the Hill forces would be permitted to go to Agua Priets. General Cabral, It Is thought In some quarters, then would endeavor to drive the Hill garrison out of Agua Priets, across the American Hue, where they would probably be Interned. 9 » 1 3 « ^ ^ C s t | ^ _ . . market steady; heat heavy steers, U CIS^;. beet bandy wsIgM bsteW steers, t7#7J0; mixed stoers s*d heitcrs, Jf^CTiet ^ hajidy tigbt Dutchert, f«^4^7; l l s ^ butchers, |6^6#SJi;; best cows, ITOt)*; oo»- ifcon. oow% 64454J4.76; butcher oowa, 6S4W30; canners, $t#4; best heavy bulls, HfHJ»i bolofma bulls, |W04> S; stock bulls. f4JW£*. .

It was Whistler's habit to memorize an effect in nature, and Mr. T. R. Way, in his recent "Memories," gives an example of his cleverness at it. I shall never forget a lesson he gave me one evening. We had left the studio when It was quite dusk and were walking along the road by the gardens of the Chelsea hospital, when he pointed to a group of buildings in the distance, an old public house at the corner of the road, with windows and shops showing golden lights through the gathering mists of twilight. "Look!" he said. As he did not seem to have anything to sketch or make notes on, I took out notebook and offered It to him. "No, no; be quiet!" he said; and after a long pause he turned and walked back a few yards; then, with his back to the scene, he said: "Now, see if I have learned it," and then he gave a description of the scene, perfect in every detail of arrangement and color, as he might bave repeated a poem he had learned by heart. Then we went on, and soon there came another picture that appealed to me even more than the former. I tried to call his attention to it, but he would not look at it "No, no," he said; "one thing at a time." . > In a few days I was at the studio again, and there on the easel was the picture—Youth's Companion.

A white crepe de chine petticoat slip is the foundation, writes Lillian E. Young in the Washington Star. It may have an embroidered border or be finished with flounce of lace or selfmaterial. The top is plain with the petticoat gathered to it at an empire waist line. A simple kimono-Bleeved bodice makes the top of the coat to which the full skirt is gathered with a wide beading and a high-waisted encircling line of roses. The front edges slope downward and away from the waist, and are cut in large scallops bound with taffeta. The neck of the bodice and the sleeves are edged with white fur. Use azure blue, shell pink, maize yellow, orchid or white chiffon for this model, with little pink roses at the waist and white rabbit or marabou about the neck and sleeves. Keep the under slip white. The cap is a new one. It consists of two ruffles of net or chiffon caught through the center to the head size with a band of ribbon and trimmed at either side with tiny roses. These ruffles, of course, encircle a plain, close-fitting cap crown. Such a design should make a special appeal to you happy ones who wear a solitaire on the fourth finger of your left hand.

The base is composed of a small square piece of wood, and the sketch clearly indicates the shape and size of it in proportion to the reel of cotton. This piece of wood is smoothly covered with thin silk, the material being turned over at the edges and fastened on underneath with a strong adhesive. Diagram A illustrates the shape In which the silk should be cut out and the space B enclosed In the dotted lines should correspond/In size with the surface of the wood; The reel of cotton is fastened in its place in the center, with a long thin brass-headed nail, and on this nail the reel will revolve freely while the cotton is being drawn off. Diagram D illustrates the holder in this stage. and upon the top of the nail a thimble can be placed in the manner shown in the larger sketch and a needle may be run through the silk covering the surface of the wood.

The Judge, who had withdrawn Into the shadow, considered for a moment, then said: "I cannot describe her,features, for she was heavily veiled; neither can I describe her figure except to say that •she is tall and slender. But her dress I remember. She wore purple; not an -old woman's purple, hut a soft shade which did not take from her youth. The child did not seem to belong to her, though she held her tightly by the hand. In age it appeared .to be about six—or that was the impression I received before—" The sergeant, who had been watching the speaker very closely, leaned forward with a hasty, Inquiring glance expressive of something like consternation. Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness? No; for the eyes which had gone blank had turned hte way again, and ^nly a disconnected expression which fell from the judge's lips showed that his mind had been wandering. "It's not the same but another one; that's all." . Inconsequent words, but the sergeant meant to remember them, for with their utterance a change passed over the judge, and his manner, which had been constrained and hurried during liis attempted description, became at once more natural and therefore more courteous. "Do you think you can find her with •euch Insufficient data? A woman dressed in purple, leading a little child?" "Judge, I not only feel sure that I •can find her, but I think she is found already. Do you remember the/old tavern on the Rushville road? I believe they call it an inn now, -some such fancy name." The Judge,sat quiet, but the sergeant, who dared not peer too closely, noticed a sudden constriction in the fingers of the hand with which his host fingered a paper cutter lying on the table between them. "The one where—" "I respect your hesitation, judge. Tes, the one run by the man you sentenced—" A gesture had stopped him. He waited respectfully for, the judge's next words. They came quickly and with stern and solemn emphasis. "For a hideous and wholly unprovoked crime. Why do you mention it and—and his tavern?" "Because of something I have lately heard in its connection.

In a stronger blase of light than they had left, lay the body of the dead negro awaiting the last rites. Would the Judge pass this body, or turn away from it toward a door leading front? The sergeant had come in at the rear, but he greatly desired to go out front, as this would give him so much additional knowledge of the house. Unexpectedly to himself the *!._,„..», „*,•,.», i+ „„* .* •»,- ««t«* time carefully locking the door behind him, also the first gate. But he stopped to listen before lifting his hand to the second one. \ A sound of steady breathing, accompanied by a few impatient movements, came from the other side. A man was posted there within a foot of the gate. Noiselessly the Judge recoiled and made hie way around to the other set of gates. Here all was quiet enough, and, sliding quickly out, he cast a hasty glance up and down the lane, ami, seeing nothing more alarming than the back of a second officer lounging at the corner, pulled the gate quietly to and locked it. He was well down the road toward the ravine before the officer turned. The time haB now come for giving you a clearer idea of this especial neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's house, situated at the Juncture of an unimportant road with the main highway, had in its rear three small houses, two of them let and one still unrented. Farther on, but on the opposite side of the way, stood a very old dwelling, in which there lived and presumably worked a solitary woman, the sole and final survivor of a large family. Beyond was the ravine, cut* ting across the road and terminating it. This ravine merits some description. It was a picturesque addition to the tion of his own wishes. He was led front; and, entering an old-fashioned hall dimly lighted, passed a staircase and two dosed doors, both of which gave him the impression of having been shut upon a past it had pleasured no one to revive in many years. Beyond them was the great front door of colonial style and workmanship, a fine specimen once, but greatly disfigured now by the bolts and bars which had been added to It in satisfaction of the judge's ideas of security. Many years had passed since Judge Ostrander'had played the host; but he had not lost a sense of its obligations. It was for him to shoot the bolts and lift the bars; but he went about it so clumsily and with such evident aversion to the task that the sergeant instinctively sprang to help him. "I shall miss Bela at every turn," remarked the judge, turning with a sad emlle as he finally pulled the door open. This is an unaccustomed effort for me. Excuse my awkwardness/' Something in his attitude, something in the way he lifted his hand to push back a fallen lock from his forehead, impressed Itself upon the sergeant's mind so vividly that he always remembered the judge as he appeared to him at that minute. Certainly there were but few men like him in the country, and none in his own town. Of a commanding personality by reason of his height, his features were of a cast to express his mental attributes and enforce attention, and the incongruity between his dominator1 lng figure and the apprehensions which he displayed in these multiplied and extraordinary arrangements for personal security was forcible enough to arouse any man's Interest The sergeant was so occupied by the mystery of the man and the mystery of the house that they had passed the first gate (which the judge had unlocked without much difficulty) before he realized that there still remained something of Interest for him to see and to talk about later. The two dark openings on either side, raised questions which the most unimaginative mind would feel glad to hear explained. Ere the second gate swung open and he found himself again in the street he had built up more than one theory in explanation pf this freak of parallel fences with the strip of gloom between. He would have felt the suggestion of the spot still more deeply had it been given him to see the anxious and hesitating figure which, Immediately upon his departure entered this dark maze, and with feeling hands and cautious step wound its way from corner to corner-—now stopping abruptly to listen, now shrinking from some imaginary presence---a shadow among shadows—tUl it stood again* between the gates from which it had started. of greatest activity., With the various bridges connecting: the residence portion with the lower business street* we have nothing to do. But there was a nearer one, of which the demands of this story necessitate a clear presentation. This bridge was called Long, and spanned the ravine and its shallow stream of water not a quarter of a mile below the short road or lane we have just seen Judge Ostrander enter. Between it and this lane, a harrow path ran amid the trees and bushes bordering the ravine. This path was seldom used, but when it was it acted as a short cut to a certain part of the town mostly given over to factories. Indeed the road of which this bridge formed a part was called Factory on this account. Starting from the main highway a half-mile or so below Ostrander lane, It ran diagonally back to the bridge, where it received a turn IsHftrl H s s s s s H Ttti CHAPTIR III. Aoreeo the Bridge. It was ten o'clock, not later, when the Judge re-entered his front door, He -was alone—absolutely alone, as he had never been since that night of long ago, when with the Inner fence completed and the gates all locked, ho turned to the groat negro at bis side and quietly said; "Wo are done with the world, Bela.

A high bluff rose at this point, which made the farther side of the ravine much more imposing than the one on the near side, where the slope was gradual. This path, and even the bridge itself, were almost wholly unlighted. They were seldom need at night—seldom used at any time. But It was by this route the judge elected to go into town; not for the pleasure of the walk, aa was very apparent from the extreme depression of his manner, but from some inward necessity which drove him on, against his wishes, possibly against his secret misgivings. He had met no on* in his short walk down the lane, but for all that he paused before entering the path just mentioned, to glance back and see if he were being watched or followed. When satisfied that he was not he looked np from the solitary waste where he stood* to the cheerless heavens and sighed; then forward Into the mass of lmpenetrablelinadow that he mutt yet travergp and shuddered as many another had shuddered ere beginning thia walk.

But with the striking of his foot against the boards of the bridge nature was too much for him, and hiB resolve vanished. Instead of hastening on he stopped, and, having etopped, paused long enough to take in all the features of the scene and any changes which time might have wrought. He even forced his shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon the exact spot where his beloved Algernon had been found, with his sightless eyes turned to the sky. This latter place, singular in that it lay open to the opposite bank without the mask of bush or tree to hide It, was in Immediate proximity to the end of the bridge he had attempted to cross. It bore the name of Dark Hollow, and hollow and dark it looked in the universal gloom. £ut the power of Its associations was upon him, and before he knew it he waS -retracing his steps as though drawn by a magnetism he could not resist, till he stood within this hollow and possibly on the very foot of ground from the mere memory of which he had recoiled for years. A moment of contemplation—a sigh, such as only escapes the bursting heart in moments of extreme grief or desolation— and he tore his eyes from the ground to raise them slowly but with deep meaning, to something which rose from the brow of the hill in stark and curious outline not explainable in itself, hut clear enough to one who had seen its shape by daylight. Judge Ostrander had thus seen it many times In the past, and knew just where to look for the one remaining chimney and solitary gable of a house struck many years before by lightning and left a grinning shell to mock the eye of all who walked this path or crossed this bridge. Black amid blackness, with just the contrast of its straight lines to the curve of natural objects about It, it commanded the bluff, summoning up memories of an evil race cut short in a moment by an outraged Providence, and Judge Ostrander, marking it found himself muttering aloud ae he dragged himself slowly away: "Why should Time, so destructive elsewhere, leave one stone upon another of this accursed ruin?" When he had reached the middle of the bridge he stopped short to look back at Dark Hollow and utter in a smothered groan, which would not be repressed, a name which by all the rights of the spot should have been Algernon's, but was not. The utterance of this name seemed to startle him, for, with a shuddering look around, he hastily traversed the rest of the bridge and took the turn about the hill to where Factory road branched off toward the town. Here he stopped again and for the first time revealed the true nature of his destination. For whecrhe moved on again It was to take the road along the bluff, and not the one leading directly Into town. This mean a speedy passing by the lightning-struck house. He knew, of course, and evidently shrank from the ordeal, for once up the hill and on the level stretch above, he resolutely for bore to cast a glance at its dilapidated fence and decayed gate posts. Had he not done this—had his eyes followed the long line of the path leading from these toppling posts to the face of the ruin, he would have been witness to a strange sight. For gleaming through the demolished heart of it—between the chimney on the one side and the broken line of the gable on the other—could be seen the halfcircle of the moon suddenly released from the clouds which had hitherto enshrouded It. A weird sight, to be seen only when all conditions favored. It was to be seen here tonight; but the judge's eye was bent another way, and he passed on, unnotlng. The ground was high along this bluff; almost fifty feet above the level of the city upon which he had just turned his back. Of stony formation and much exposed to the elements, it had been considered an undesirable eite by builders, and not a house was to be seen between the broken shell of the one he had Just left, and the long, low, brilliantly illuminated structure ahead, for which he was evidently making. The pant of a dosen motors, the shouting of various farewells and then the sudden rushing forth of a long lino of automobiles proclaimed that the fete of the day was about over and that peaee and order would soon prevail again in Claymore Inn. Without waiting for the final one to pass, the Judge slid around to the rear and peered in at the kitchen door. Three women were at work in this busiest of scenes, and the throe women's heads came simultaneously together. There was reason for their' whispers.

There are a number of holders of land in Western Canada, living in the United States, to whom the Canadian Government will shortly make an anj peal to place the unoccupied areas they are holding under cultivation. The lands are highly productive, but in a state of idleness they are not giving any revenue beyond the unearned increment and are not of the benefit to Canada that these lands could easily be made. It is pointed out that the demand for grains for years to come will cause good prices for all that can be produced. Not only will the price of grains be affected, but also will that of cattle, hogs and horses, in fact everything that can be grown on the farms. When placed under proper cultivation, not the kind that is often resorted to, which lessens yield and land values, many farms will pay for themselves In two or three years. Careful and intensive work is required. *a<Ht this is given in the way it is given to the high-priced lands of older settled countries, surprising results will follow. There are those who are paying rent, who should not be doing so. They would do better to purchase lands in Western Canada at the present low price at which they are being offered by land companies or private individuals. These have been held for the high prices that many would have realized, but for the war and the financial stringency. Now is the time to buy; or if It is preferred advantage might be taken of the offer of 160 acres of land free that is made by the Dominion Government. The man who owns his farm has a^ life of independence. Then again there are those who are renting who might wish to continue as renters. They have some means as well as sufficient outfit to begin in a new country where all the advantages are favorable. Many of the owners of unoccupied lands would be willing to lease them on reasonable terms. Then again, attention is drawn to the fact that Western Canada numbers amongst its most successful farmers, artisans, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other professions. Fanning today is a profession. It is no longer accompanied by the drudgery that we were acquainted with a generation ago. The fact that a man is not following a farming life today, does not preclude him from going on a Western Canada farm tomorrow, and making a success of it If he is not in possession of Western Canadaland that he can convert into a farm he should secure some, make It a farm by equipping It and working it himself. The man who has been holding his Western Canada land waiting for the profit he naturally expected has been Justified In doing BO. Its agricultural possibilities are certain and sure. If he has not realized immediately by making a sale, he should not worry. But to let it lie Idle Ig not good business. By getting It placed under cultivation a greater profit will come to him. Have it cultivated by working it himself, or get some good representative to do it. Set about getting a purchaser, a renter or some one to operate on shares. The department of the Dominion Government having charge of the Immigration, through Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent at Ottawa, Canada, is directing the attention of non-resident owners of Western Canada lands to the fact that money will be made out of farming these lands. The agents of the Department, located at different points In the States, are rendering assistance to this end.—Advertisement Wasted Tims. Little Bobbie's father was a doctor and Bobbie liked noth' 0 be»er than to take his father's ease in one hand* his overcoat in the other, and go down the street for a block or two to some imaginary patient One winter's day, when ho started out he forgot to close the door. "Bobby," called mother's voice sweetly, "please close the door." But Bobby was In a liurry and went on. "Robert," came father's sterner voice, "dose that door." Bobby returned and closed the door.

The fatter the man the more money they will bet on him. even though a bedstat can throw bliu clear out of tbe ring. As a fat wrestler walks down the street a crowd gathers around him, hoping that he will turn Into some restaurant If he does they gather in the doorway to watch him eat Tbey would rather hear a Japanese wrestler eat that go to a three* ring.

It's unbelieveable how much noise they make when eating, by smacking their lips, sucking up their tea with the open exhaust and picking their teeth with the cutout on. The champion eaters of them all— the wrestlers—have long hair, but instead of letting it hang down on their shoulders, as one would naturally expect, they do it up in knots until they look like a gigantic kewpie. Whenever you see a man in Japan going around with a large sized walnut on his head, you may know that he follows the an cieut and honorable profession of wrestling. Their wrestling consists of the men standing upright in the ring, making a rush at each other and trying to push each other out Every time two wrestlers come together they give a prodigious grunt When one <*f them finally succeeds in pushing the other 'but the crowd bursts forth into mighty applause, while the victor modestly pats his stomach to show where the praise Is dne.—Homer Croy in Leslie's. BOUNTIES FOR SOLDIERS. Prices England Had to Pay In the Past For Army Reoruits. At one time the system of offering huge money bounties was quite a feature of army recruiting in Great Britain. Prior to the peninsular war, however, the amount of the bounty had been reduced considerably, but tbe wastage in human material caused by that war raised tbe bounty again, and from £13 to £16 was a common price right up to "Waterloo year," when it dropped to 7 guineas. The stress of the Crimean campaign also caused the wnr office authorities to open wide their purses, and so we find that-fa 1855 the price of a cavalryman was £30, while an infantryman received £2 less.

Assuming that their general surface brilliancy is the Bame as that of the sun and recalling that Rigel has ut least 22,000 and Canopus 55,000 times the light of the sun, the square root of these figures gives us Rigel's diameter as 150 and Canopus' 235 times that of the sun. .

Pulling Out Posts. ,, JThev trick of lifting oneself by one's •bpptStraps may appear somewhat diflicu4tf| i but n machine has been built j which does that. It is intended to pull ] out piles which have been driven ln so ; firmly by a pile driver that they canu'oi be pulled up by ordinary means. The machine is clamped to the top of the pile, which it grips firmly and automatically. Steam is supplied through a hose. Tbe steam lifts a heavy weight in the machine and lets It drop suddenly. By an arrangement of levers the force of tbe blow. Instead of being downward on tbe top of the .pile, is upward. The main difficulty in pulling up a pile Is to get it started, but 8 quick series of these blows soon stntts the pile. Tbe machine keeps knocking it up until it moves easily, when no more prog ress can be made, and the pile must be lifted out with ropes.—Saturday Evening Post. No Need to Climb.

WMEANBP HE seeing of "the Old Year out and New Year in" throughout the world 1B generally accompanied by much merriment and sometimes with much noise. But whereas in some countries the "wild" night has disappeared and has been replaced by celebrations more in keeping with the passing of a year bf put opportunities, and the making of new resolutions for the coming year, on this continent, at least, the night has been given up to revelry strongly condemned by right thinking people. At one time Mew Year's eve in Berlin was a time that might have gladdened the heart of the most exuberant undergraduate, being from dusk to dawn a succession of practical Jokes iad good-natured "ragging." But nowadays the town shows a more sedate temper, and if In a very German way a beer or a wine "journey" (to give the German expression) often reminds in the small hours of what used be- seen at the same time of the in the ancient world, the days to have passed by when it was unsafe for a cabman to show himself la the city before dawn, for fear of having some joker ride away on his unharnessed "Polly." In those times the silk hat was more worn than today, and still more often was crushed in or thrown across the street by some of the more rampageous. It is said that one could then buy a cheap edition of the silk hat that had a gloss that would last through the evening, and at a price that made its disappearance quite sufferable. Today such practical jokes have dropped into the background! Berlin' and the rest of the empire indulge in a celebration of the New Year that has something of the French reve 11- lon, something of the Scottish festivity, and also some reminders of April Fools' day and Gunpowder Plot day in England, and the Chinese New Tear's "Feast of Lanterns." New Year's day in Germany is the day for sending the jokes and wouldbe jokes that are generally held over until April 1 in France and England —cigars that might seem to be burning, references to such rarities as the peacock's eggs, and all the "sells" that can be thought of. Then, as the English of the North may eat toffee and "parkin" on the eve of the 5th of November, the Germans have a special fare of pancakes and Jam, with punch. The rattle reminds one of the Orient It is the article of the day, or rather of the night. Even the biggest stores fa the capital head their weekly catalogue with a list of the styles of ratties that they have to sell, and no self-respecting Berliner is without one when he sallies forth late in evening to make a round of the town before saluting the emperor with the guard in front of the palace in the Lustgarten at nine o'clock. The occasion also offers another example of the extraordinary powers of endurance In the matter of entertainment that the Berliner possesses; Although business begins at eight, and in some offices even as early as halfpast seven, there are as many in the cafes between two and three in the , morning as one would see, for example, between one and two in Paris— a much more leisured city. And on New Year's eve the company does not go home to bed with the* milk, as in the French capital, but sees it out until it is a question of whether luncheon shall come before or after the sleep. ; Supper in the better-known restaurants in the center of Berlin and in Charlottenburg's fine avenue of Kurfontendamm is much on the lines of the Paris revelllon. There is no mention of the traditional "Boudin avec parse de pommes," but in return the pancakes and sirup get their place, and there i* always some punch in the making. ' 'New Tear's eve is marked at the . Court of Vienna by a ceremony somewhat reminiscent of "Hamlet" without the chief character. The diplo- * matte body is invited to the Hofburg to wish the emperor the compliments of the season, but his Imperial saajeety never attends to receive them Since the days of Maria Thar* «s* ft has been the custom for the grand master of the court to deputise for his sovereign on this occasion, no member of the imperial family TBXXAO!

' • • ' ' ' the picturesque procession of the boar's head at Christmas, a quaint but less known custom for New Year's day has been retained. After dinner on this anniversary the bursar presents to each guest a needle threaded with silk of a color suitable to , his faculty, and prays for his prosperity in the words, "Take this and be thrifty." This word "thrifty" has no connection with the philosophy of the late Samuel Smiles, but is, according to Doctor Magrath, the retired provost, the old English for prosperous. To "grow thrifty" in the sense of to thrive was used in America within living memory. The ceremony is a practical Norman-French pun (aiguille et fll) upon the name Qf Eglesfleld, the chaplain to Queen Philippe, who was the real founder of the college. A picturesque ceremony marks New Year's eve at the court of Dresden. A reception is held in the evening— generally one of the most thronged of the year—during which the king instead of receiving the guests in his ordinary manner, plays cards with his suite. Those invited file past a group of c*#d-tables, all the players at which are intent upon the game, except the king, whose aide-de-camp stands behind his chair and whispers the card for him to throw, so his majesty can devote his attention to acknowledging the greetings of his courtiers. The king plays a card, then bows as a curtsying lady-catches his eyes, then another card, another bow, and- so on, until the long procession has passed. The little Scotch fishing village of Burghead, on the Moray Firth, keeps up a strange survival of pagan ritual, the burning of the "Clavle." This is a sort of rude spoked wheel or tub made from half a herring-cask and half a tar-barrel, knocked together without the use of a hammer, for which a smooth stone is substituted. The blacksmith supplies a long nail. This contrivance is borne flaming on the shoulders of a succession of bearers to the town boundaries, and then to the "Doorie," a sort of stone altar, on a small hilt The "Clavie" is then smashed and the crowd scrambles for the pieces. The custom defies explanation and is immemorial The great Scottish festival of Hogmanay is celebrated in "the wee, sma' 'oors ayont the 'twaT with unusual sest among the Caledonians. In every corner of our tar-flung empire, wherever the Scot has car* rted his accent and his Robert Burns, the festival of the Celtic race will find its earnest, if decadent, expression in good wishes and good resolutions for the new-born year. If you have taken part In the festival in Scotland itself you will be able to conjure up what the Saturnalia was In the classic days. The modern Italian carnival bears little resemblance to that great festival la which the worker In the field expressed his whole-hearted delight that one year of toll had ended, and that a new, and perhaps a better, year bad dawned. Hogmanay is the Saturnalia of Scotland, and If the BaochsnsHsn ele- X / L The Zulu Trick.

So then, every Scot, wherever and whatever his let—Scots Wha Hae and Scots Wha Hinna—will raise the glass to the New Year, and his heart will turn to the Mecca of his hopes, the home of his poet and prophet, Robert Burns. Writing to an English friend from Scotland in 1802, Henry Bickersteth says: On December 31 almost everybody has a party, either to dine or sup, the company almost entirely consisting of young people. They wait together till midnight strikes, at which time every one begins to move, and they all fall to work—at what? Why, kissing! Each male is successively locked in a pure Platonic embrace with each female. This matter is not at all confined to those, but wherever man meets woman it is the privilege of this hour. New Year's gifts have taken many different forms at different periods from the eggs exchanged by the Persians and the sacred branches of mistletoe of the Druids down to the fat capon which the tenants in many English counties were expected to present to their landlords. In the sixteenth century, gloves were often given on New Year's day, and there is record of a certain Mrs. Croaker, In whose favor Sir Thomas More had decided a case, sending the chancellor a pair of gloves with 40 gold angels therein. "Mistress," wrote More, returning the money. "Since Ut were against manners to refuse a New Year's gift, I am content to take your gloves, but/ as for the lining, I utterly refuse it" What precisely is "Hogmanay?" Etymologically, It has been .derived from the French "au-gui-menez," "come on to the mistletoe." The Norman French "a-guM'an-neuf," also an association of the New Year and mistletoe, seems likelier. Can anyone tell us precisely, what was the origin of the custom m some parts of England, of the going to the parents' bedroom on New Year's morning with new snow (If it can be had), and the song; NTewhe Y ceoacrk'ss dbaeygi nIn t toh cer omwo rnlns OApennd t1h*1e1 gdiovoer yso aun dso tmoet mNeew In T ear's snow. Hostess Can Provide Delightful Enter tain ment at Comparatively Small Cost in s Fashion That is 8o me what Unusual. Why don't you give a coffee? Have you ever beard of one? It Is like a tea, excepting that coffee instead of tea is the chosen beverage, and instead of sandwiches and cakes of the usual sort atf the food seems to have come straight from a German coffee shop. This rather unusual form of entertainment is given in the morning. Cards are sent out with the words "Coffee," and "Prom 11 to 1" written on them. Or, if the "Coffee" is to be very small, the invitations may be given by telephone. For one of the charms of the "Coffee" is that it is Informal. In the dining-room the table Is spread with a lace or embroidered luncheon cloth—-something rather elaborate can be used—and in the center, Instead of flowers, is a big silver tray heaped with fruits made of marslpan. Half a dozen German cakes are placed on the table. There are small German almond cakes on a plate covered with a lace dolly. There Is a cake board on which is a big coffee ring, with a widebladed silver knife beside it There is a cheese cake cut into narrow, wedgeshaped pieces. And there are other German sweets of the sort that can be bought at a first-class German delicatessen or bakery or made at home according to recipes in a German cookery book. At each end of the table is an urn or a percolating coffee pot over an alcohol flame, for coffee is the only beverage served. It Is served in large cups, breakfast size, and with It are passed cream and sugar. German Doughnuts.—Here is a recipe for one German delicacy that may be served with the coffee. Scald a pint of milk, and while it is scalding hot pour over it a pint of flour. Beat until smooth and then add half a teaspoonful of salt, and cool. Add the beaten yolks of four eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a half cupful of Bugar, a cupful of flour, two teasponfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of almond or other flavoring and the beaten whites of four eggs. Add more flour if necessary to make a soft dough. Roll out and cut and fry gold brown. Drain on thick paper and roll in sugar. German Apple Cake.—For German apple cake, sift a pint of flour with one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder ana half a teaspoonful of salt. Add two tablespoonful8 of butter, rubbing It In thoroughly, and then add a beaten egg and milk enough to make a thick batter. Spread the batter in a buttered tin to the thickness of an inch. Over the top spread quarters or eighths of peeled and cored apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake in a hot oven. Ginger 8naps> Ginger snaps made from self-raising flour are very little trouble to prepare, and the cost Is small. Heat a cupful of molaBses, and when it reaches the boiling point pour over one-third of a cupful of shortening. Add sf tablespoonful of ginger sifted with three heaping cupfuls of flour. Put away to get thoroughly cold, then roll out very thin and bake in a quick oven. Pepper Relish. Twelve green peppers, 12 red peppers, 12 onions. Remove the seeds from peppers. Chop, cover with boiling water for five minutes and drain. Heat three pints vinegar, two cupfuls sugar, two tablespoonfuls salt and pour over above, Cook slowly one hour, then bottle. When Warming Over Meat The best way to warm up a roast of meat is to wrap it in thickly greased paper, and keep it covered while in the oven. By having It covered the steam will prevent the-meat from becoming hard and dry. and it will become heated through is> less time. To Keep Silver Bright. Place in a cardboard box a layer of ordinary flour, then lay the forks and spoons upon it, and cover thickly with flour. They will remain quite bright for any length of time. Celery Stuffing. One quart bread crumbs, halt a head of celery, two* eggs, two tablespoonfuls butter, one tablespoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful white popper, onemuarter teaspoonful paprika, and a grating of nutmeg. Bub the butter Into the bread crumbs, than add the eggs wall beaten, the seasoning and ths celery chopped fine.

Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the In* testines, instead of being cast out of the system Is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten yon out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet end your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Wherefore, she warned him that, when at meals, if she thought he was approaching dangerous ground, she would give him a polite reminder by kicking him on the shins.

ASTHMA MEDICINE sVt» 6sV] ^London—Assisted by light cruisers, destroyers and submarines,» seven British naval airmen, piloting seaplanes, made a daring attack Christmas day on the German naval base at Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe. Six of the airmen returned safely, but the seventh, Commander Hewlett, it is feared, has been lost, as his machine was found off Helgoland" wrecked. What damage was done by the bombs thrown by the attacking party could not be ascertained, but the German report of the affairs says that the fltfuVwas fruitless. v^The enterprise- of the British navy inTthp attempting to "dig out" the German fleet, brought about a battle between the most modern of war machines. The British squadron, including the light cruisers Arethusa and Undaunted, which have been engaged in previous exploits on the German coast, was attacked by Zeppelins, seaplanes and submarines. Zeppelins Put To Flight. By rapid maneuvering, the ships were able to avoid the submarines, while the Zeppelins found the fire of the cruisers too dangerous for them to keep up the fight. The German seaplanes dropped bombs, which, according to the British account, fell harmlessly into the sea. The Germans, however, claim to have hit two destroyers and their convoy, the latter being set afire. The British ships -remained in the vicinity for three hours without being attacked by any surface warships, and picked up three of the seven pilots and their planes. Three others were picked up by - submarines, but their machines were sunk. Commander Hewlett, it is thought, was drowned, > Delivered In Daylight. The official press bureau gave out the following statement Sunday regarding the British raid on the German coast: "On Friday, December 25, the German warships lying off Schilling roads, off Cuxhaven, were attacked by seven naval seaplanes piloted by Flight Commanders Oliver, Hewlett, Boss and Kilner, Flight Lieuts. Miley and Edwards, and sub-Lieut. Blackburn. 'The attack was delivered in daylight, starting from a point in the vicinity of Helgoland. The seaplanes wer* escorted by a light cruiser and destroyer force, together with submarines. As these ships were seen by the Germans from Helgoland, two Zeppelins and three or four hostile seaplanes and several hostile submarines attacked them, "It was necessary for the British Bhips to remain in the neighborhood to pick up the returning airmen, and a novel combat ensued between the most modern cruisers and the enemy's air craft and submarines. By swift maneuvering, the enemy's submarines were avoided and the two Zeppelins were easily put to flight by the guns of the Undaunted and Arethusa* "The enemy's seaplanes succeeded in dropping their bombs near our ships, but without hitting any of them. The British ships remained for three hours off the enemy's coast without being molested by any surface vessel and safely, re-embarked three out of the seven airmen with their machines."

In Sunday school one afternoon, the superintendent announced the hymn, "I Want to Be an Angel," and when the others began to sing, it was noticed that little Jessie was conspicuously silent. "What is the matter, my dear?" kindly asked the teacher. "Why don't you sing, 'I Want to Be an Angel'?" "Because, Miss Mary," waB the rather startling rejoinder of the child, "I don't want to be one." "Don't want to be one!" exclaimed the horrified teacher. "Why do you say that?"

Help for the Blind. The Journal of the American Medical Association Is authority for the averment that the blind people in the itnlted States number 300,000, and that it costs about'$15,000,000 to support them. It is estimated that 75 per cent of this blindness is due to two causes, namely, sore eyes at birth and neghscted eyes during early school life. The first cause can be removed in the simplest manner. All that is necessary is for the doctor or midwife to drop into the eyes of the newly born babe a few drops of a two per cent solution of nitrate of silver. This will kill the germs that produce the disease which almost fills so many blind asylums.

You will TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and Irritates the Bladder. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain In the kidney seglon,,get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys -will then act fine.

The scarcity of servant girls led to a certain wealthy American lady engaging a farmer's daughter from a rural district of Ireland. Her want of familiarity with town- ways and language led to many amusing scenesJ One day a lady called at the residence! and rang the bell. Kathleen, the serv-' ant, answered the call. "Can Mrs. be seen?" asked the visitor. "Can. Bhe be seen?" sniggered! Kathleen. "Shure, an Oi think she can; she's eix feet high, and four feet wide!

It is an inleiosting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography seem to be diametrically opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in one are apt to be backward in the other. A story is told of a little boy who was slow in arithme tic and whose apparent stupidity in this field w a s a great source of grief to his father, who had been a mathematician. One day when the father and son were walking out they passed a place where a "learned pig" was on exhibition, and the father took the boy to see this porcine prodigy. "Just look at that," said the father. "Why. there's a pig that can count and add up numbers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?" _ "Ha." answered tbeOioy.

When he succeeds, in bis end be seems to take a brief satis faction i n his work, b n t he does not impress us a s a happy man. H e soon forgets all about the punished enemy and casts about for a n e w one to punish. When he fails in his end and his enemy escapes or punishes him he in very much cast down.

I Sitting Cross Legged. The next.time you ride in a street ear notice the number of people who sit cross legged. It has been estimated that four-fifths of them do. Probably you do. A prominent London physician haj» investigated the habit and his advice is "don't sit cross legged." He states that the prime objection to the habit is that the return flow of blood Is stopped at the knee, the result be- /ing that the veins in the leg swell up As all of the weight Js thrown to One side of the body, the under leg is likely to go to sleep. The body should, be equally balanced. Much crossing of the legs Is also dangerous in that it is likely to cause lopsldedness. The limbs should be allowed to rest easily, so that the flow of blood Is natural and the body equally balanced.—American Boy. Struggle te Hide 4h# Troth.

"Coming over on an ocean liner from England a few years ago," said a New Yorker, "an argument had arisen among us ns to which was the more simple of the two currency systems, dollars and cents, or pounds, shillings and pence. At last* the captain arriving, we decided to refer the matter to him and surrender our judgment to his arbitration. The captain, an Englishman of the very stolid sort, after a period of reflection replied very slowly and with all the gravity of a judge: "Pounds, shillings and pence is the simpler system, for don't you know that when you arc told the price of a thing in dollars and cents you always have to convert it into pounds, shillings and pence." There was a little objection to this theory, bat in general it was perfectly satisfactory so long as the voyage lasted. Submarine Cables.

Here is a part of his story: "We farmers need awakeing to the fact that we have unmistakably reached the period where we most think aod plan. I am one of the slow German farmers that had to be shown, and I am now giving my experience that others maj£ profit, for knowledge is more expensive now than ten years ago. **Tweiity-nioe years ago I began my farm career. I bad an old team and $50. Oar furniture was mostly -home-made-chairs', cup board and lounge made from dry .goods boxes, nttttly covered with ten-cent cretonne by my £iri wife. We rented eighty acres. Being a boy of good habits, I got all needled machinery and groceries of oar home merchants ou credit, until fall crops were sold, The first year ery, clothing for sickness or death,' we had to wait and send away for it, which Wasn't so pleasant. One by one our merchants moved to places where they were appreciated, and men of less energy moved in. Gradually our town has gone down;our business houses are 'lackey' in appearance, a number are empty, otir schools, churches and walks are going down, we have no band, no library nor ball team. There is no business done in the town, and, therefore, no taxes to keep up. Hotel is closed for lack of travel. Go down to the depot when the train pulls in and you will see the sequel in mail order packages. "Nine years ago my farm was worth 1195 an acre; to-day I'd have a hard matter to sell it at $167 an acre. It is "too far from a live town"—so every.farmer has said that wants to buy. He wants a place near schools and churches, where his children can have advantages. I have awakened to the fact that in helping to pull the town down, it has cost me $5,600 in nine years."

MEANS ABOUT $30,000,000 Consequences of the War Held by Commerce Commission to Give Ground for Raising Income Between East and West. Washington.—Dec. 21.—Increases In freight rates approximating 5 per cent on 123 railroads, comprising all the lines between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, were granted by the interstate commerce commission in a divided opinion, exempting on certain heavy commodities, which comprise a large bulk of the traffic. The increases will further apply to the railroads west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh, which were granted partial advances in the decision of last August,, which denied them altogether to the roads east of those points. It is estimated* the advanced rates will increase the annual income of the roads about $30,000,000. The commission made its decision upon the showing of the railroads that In addition to conditions from which they previously asked relief they now are confronted with an emergency because of the war in Europe. After further consideration the commission permits advances to be made also on cement, starch, brick, tile, clay and plaster. On these commodities no advances were permitted by the decision of August 1. The commission was divided on the question of granting the railroads' appeal. Commissioners Clements and Harlan dissented from the opinion of the majority. The decision, in part, was as follows: . "In view of the tendency toward a diminishing net operating income, as shown by the facts described, we are of the opinion that the net operating Income of the railroads in official classification territory, taken as a whole, is smaller than is demanded in the interests of the general public and the railroads, and it is our duty and our purpose to aid so far as we legally may, In the solution of the problem as to the course that the carriers may pursue to meet the situation." The commission did not acquiesce in the carriers' proposal of a general increase, as indicated in the tariff filed by them, but suggested various methods by which they might properly conserve their revenues. "For various reasons we shall except from the proposed increase the following rates: "1. Rail-lake-and-rail, lake-and-rail and rail-and-lake rates. It Is shown on the record that since the rail carriers acquired ownership and control of the lake lines successive Increases have been made in the rates via lake tending to lessen the differences between them and the all-rail rates. "2. Rates on bituminous coal and soke. Not long since these rates were investigated and maximum rates were prescribed by the commission. The key rateB upon. bituminous coal—the rate from the Pittsburgh district to Toungstown, and the rate on lake cargo coal to Ashtabula, have been fixed In the light of the various factors which entered into the transportation of such coal. The prevailing rates are remunerative, and the financial condition of the principal bituminous coal carriers is in marked contrast with that of many other carriers in Official classification territory. « "3. Rates on anthracite coal and Iron ore, largely because they are before us In review in other proceedings. "4. Rates held by unexpired orders of the commission."

BANK ROBBER IS SLAIN BY CINCINNATI POLICEMEN Held Up Two Instltotlons and Escaped With $13,000—Career Is Ended After Fierce Fight Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19.—A threehour career of crime by one man, which included the robbing of two Cincinnati banks, pistol shot accompaniments, the theft of two automobiles and a duel with policemen in which one officer and the robber were shot and fatally wounded, marked the most sensational day in Cincinnati's criminal history. The bandit is Frank .Hohl, whose home Is In Philadelphia. He was mortally wounded in a sensational street duel with Policeman Edward Knaull and died shortly after being taken to the city hospital. Knaull also was probably fatally wounded. Before the shooting Hohl had robbed the Eighth street branch of the Provident Savings bank, where he got away with more than seven thousand dollars, and the Liberty Savings bank, where he got more than#ix thousand dollars. What became of the loot remains a mystery. Knaull, a patrolman, and George Winter, cashier at the Liberty Savings bank, were slightly injured. Hohl first stole an automobile. He then drove to the branch bank on Eighth street shortly before eleven o'clock in the morning, "shot up" the place, and stole $7,600. Then he drove to the Liberty bank; again used his revolver, injuring the cashier; stole $5,610, and again escaped. U. 8. HA8 O N E MINE LAYER. Rear Admiral Fiske 8tartles House by Testimony. Washington, Dec. 19.—Despite the length of the American coast, the United States navy has only one ship equipped to lay submarine mines the house naval committee was told by Rear Admiral Ftske, a member of the general board of the navy. Admiral Fiske* said this nation shoura have more mine-laying ships than Germany on account of the longer coast line of the United States. Germany has five mine layers. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania strenuously objected to this portion of Admiral Flake's testimony. He said the admiral should not be asked to discuss such weaknesses in public. "If I were an unfriendly nation," said Butler, "that is exactly the kind of Information I would want We tell the world we have but one ship to lay mines." "The other nations know it anyway," interjected Representative Hobson. "What we want to do is to let the people of the United States know the truth or else we will never get any more ships." Admiral Flake waa permitted to answer Hobson's Question as to the equipment for faying mines. Champion Quolte Player Dead. London, Dec 17.—M. H.

X. Revelations by On* Whose Experience Jn the Buelnes Cover• a Range From Office Boy to General lanager HOW WE DIVI1D2E D THE MONEY. The furniture department in our catalogue was a great and immediate success. The "fake" illustrations caught the eye of the people and the orders poured in with every mall. We found out that whenever a customer ordered one article there were always a number of others included with the first And the orders were all cash, of course. I don't remember in those days that we ever had an inquiry for credit They seemed glad to get the goods by paying the cash and they seemed to get the money together In some manner. We were busy. We moved. away from the city where the business was started and now had a big establishment in one of the biggest of the eastern cities. Our tiny leaflet of a catalogue had increased to over fifty pages and there seemed to be no limit'to our prosperity. My work was now almost entirely connected with the catalogue. I wrote the descriptions, ordered the illustrations made by the wood engravers, superintended the printing and mailing departments and was up to my collar in work all of the time. Whenever anything of importance arose in connection with the business I was always called into a conference with Y and Z and we settled any question that arose. One day I was called in and the doors were shut and locked. There was something of importance to be discussed. "Look here, X, we are going to incorporate this business," said Y with a peculiar expression in his eyes. I had seen this expression before and I held myself on guard, in readiness to be very careful of my speech and action as I knew I had need of caution. It was like the "hands up" of a highwayman, that look was. "Yes, we are going to incorporate and we are going to take you In as one of the Incorporators," supplemented Z. I held my peace. Here was something worth listening to. Seeing that I asked no questions and was waiting for them to go ahead they looked at each other until finally Y said: "We are going to incorporate for one hundred thousand dollars." He continued to explain, with interpolations by Z and an occasional question by myself until it came about that they had decided to make me a present of one thousand dollars of the capital stock. Sounds generous, don't it? Well, it didn't to me. We had always discussed the possibility some day of Incorporation and it had always been held out to me that I was to have a good slice of the capital stock. So I took up the burden of the argument. I explained my viewpoint, recited the various services I had rendered, the departments I had introduced, the improvement in the business, etc., for all of which I claimed a good part of the credit It was due me, too, because I had developed Into the handy man about the shop for doing all of the hard work. We nearly fcad a row over it. I was determined that if they did not treat me with fairness, that I would withdraw and I knew where I could interest capital.if necessary to start another mall order business. In fact, I had the capital myself, for by this time I was drawing a salary of three thousand a year, about $60 per week, and I had saved a good share of my salary. I told them so with all frankness. It resulted in their giving me $15,000 of the capital stock and an Increase in salary to $5,000 a year. Y and Z took each $25,000, which took out $66,- 900 of the stock. It was decided to sell out the other $34,000 of stock at par if they had a buyer for cash and of this sum I was to have 15 per cent The deal was put through and I. found myself a comparatively rich man. Later, when the capitalisation was Increased to millions, I got my share of the increased valuation so that I have made pretty well out of it Of course in this matter I am giving fictitious figures. I will not give any more details now because it would be too easy for you to guess more* for it is ho part of my plan to tell you too much about the interior workings of bur organization. We nave figured it all out many times Just what becomes of your dollar that you send in to us with an order. About one-half of it goes for payment for the goods ordered. The rest is divided into dimes and cents for the payment of postage, printing, maintenance of plant, Insurance, office help, etcT, and last and bast sf all into dividends for the stockholders. The families of Y And Z are now looked upon aa merchant princes They have their yachts, their automo biles, their racing stables, their varl OUB establishments. They take their annual tours in various parts of the world and they live off the best the world can supply. And why? Because you have sent your dollars to the mail order house, established by their fathers many years ago Each year you send more dollars and the wealth piles up in the banks. All because of the clever wording/ of our catalogue descriptions. All because you will have the unreal Instead of the genuine, because you will- insist on dealing with the unknown instead of trading with your own home merchants. It is hum** nature for you to do this because the fule of life is to follow the will-o'-the-wisp blindly. Everybody does this, everybody Itries to grasp the indefinite Instead of grabbing the things at "bur very home door. Really It is laughable when you come to think of it. You sent your dollars to us because you fancied and hoped that the distance, which gives enchantment to the view, would send you something in the way of a great prize. Of course we did not. We spend our dollars like water In foreign lands while at home we do not find so much to interest us— rather we think that we do not. Year after year I have made the pilgrimage into practically all of the foreign lands. It has cost me, I do not care to say how many, thousands of dollars. Yet all this time I know and realize that we have better things to see, better things to ride in, better thiigs to eat, than any other land. To the crooked and thieving guides in Paris and London and Berlin we aie the "easy marks." We are the simpleminded. We are the deluded, the easily decoyed. The gilded palaces of revelry in Paris and Vienna, the unwholesome cabaret of St Petersburg and Brussels, the gambling hell of Monaco, the glittering vice halls of Cairo—are all maintained by American dollars. We support them. We make them rich. We have made champagne a necessity, we have made truffles and mushrooms both expensive and desirable- It's the history of life. Every creature shall prey upon the weaker. Ani we are the weaker who lavish our money on this sort of foolishness. * /t is really true tha; it is you, the people of the soil, the dwellers In the country, who are the wiser, After all. We seek dissipation and spend our energy and health as well as our dollars In looking for excitement. It is to you, in the country, that the nation looks in time of war. Whp not in peace also? The strength lies with you. The power Is within your grasp. All you must do is to exercise your rights of franchise and your good sense and judgment. Try It Get together among yourselves in you scattered communities. Hold meetings. Discuss among your solves what you ought to do to improve conditions. Talk it over—how to keep the money at home. Simply feather your own nests, that's all. Make your efforts count to your own advantage. Is It possible that the dissensions and petty jealousies that are popularly supposed to exist in all small communities cannot be done away with so that you can all combine for the good of the whole? What if an armed power were on the way down the county road to burn and sack your town and cut the throats of your women and children? What would you do? Would you sidestep a mass meeting, called to create a defense, because 8111 Jones or Hank Buncomb was going to be there? Would you sulk and refuse to have a thing to do with the defense plan Just because you had somu grievance, real or otherwise, against somebody who would be there? Not on your life. It would be a grand rally. It would be "Hello Bill* and "Hello Hank," "Gimme a lift with this pesky cannon." "Cut a buckle hole in this strap for a belt to hold up my sword." "Hand over the powder there, I want to fire a few bullets at the enemy." That's the spirit Unite for the common, interest with "trade at home" as your slogan. Sail and Rudder. The sails of boats are our emotions, the rudders are our characters. Oar sails are breathed upon by gentle zephyrs of affection, and inclination,^* hope, and love, and of hate. They are torn by sudden gusts of passion. We' are blown hither and yon by conflict of-quarreling winds, driven from our course by angry squalls. The only force by means of which we can counteract the effect of the winds and hold our course is the rudder of character. We know that we shall be blown upon all our lives by various influences; gepd and bad; that onr amotions— those white sails that respond to every breese—will be playod upon by every human appeal and desire.

What was this goal? As she felt herself lifted, nay, almost hurled aside, she turned to see and found It to be a door before which the devoted Bela had now thrown himself, guarding it with every inch of his powerful but rapidly sinking body, and chattering defiance with his bloodless, quivering lips—a figure terrible in anger, sublime in purpose, and piteous in its failing energies.- "Back! all of you!" he cried, and «topped, clutching at the door casing ion either side to hold himself erect.

A solemn hush, then a mighty sigh of accumulated emotion swept from lip to lip, and the crowd of later invaders, already abashed if not terrified by the unexpected spectacle of suspended animation which confronted them from the judge's chair, shrank tumultously back as little Miss Weeks advanced upon them, holding out her meager arms in late defense of the secret Jo save which she had just seen a man die. "Let us do as he wished," she prayed. "I feel myself much to blame. What right had we to come in here?" No one in authority was present; no one representing the law, not even a doctor; only haphazard persons from the street and a few neighbors who had not been on social terms with the judge for years and never expected to be so again. His secret!—always a source of wonder to every inhabitant of Shelby, but lifted now into a matter of vital importance by the events of the day and the tragic death of the negro! Were they to miss its solution, when only a door lay between it and them—a door which they might not even have to unlock? Miss Weeks was about to utter an impassioned appeal to their honor, when the current of her and their thoughts was changed by a sudden sense of some strange new influence at work in the room, and turning, they beheld the judge upon his feet, his mind awakened, but his eyes still fixed—an awesome figure; some thought more awesome than before. Death was present with them—he saw it not. Strangers were making havoc with his solitude—he was as oblivious of their presence as he had been unconscious of it before. His faculties and all his attention were absorbed by the thought which had filled his brain when the cogs of that subtle mechanism had slipped and his faculties paused jBert. "Where is the woman?" he cried. It was a cry of fear; not of mastery. CHAPTER II. The Veiled Woman. The intensity of the question, the compelling, self-forgetful passion of the man, had a startling effect upon the crowd of people huddled before him. With one accord, and without stopping to pick their way, they made for the open doorway, knocking the smaller pieces of furniture about and creating havoc generally. Some fled the house;, others stopped to peer in again from behind the folds of the curtain which had been only partially torn from its fastenings. Miss Weeks was the only one to stand her ground, i When the room was quite cleared and the noise abated (it was a frightful experience to see how little the Judge had been affected by all this hubbub of combined movement and 'sound) she stepped within the line of his vision and lifted her feeble and ineffectual hand in an effort to attract his attention to herself. • But he did not notice iter, any more than he had noticed the others. Still [looking in the one direction, he cried aloud in troubled tones: "She stood there! the woman stood there and I caw her! Where is she now?" "She is no longer in the. house," came in gentle reply from' the only one in or out of the room courageous enough to speak. "She went out when the taw us coming. We knew that the had no right to he here. That is why we intruded ourselves, sir. We did not like the looks of her, and to followed her in to prevent mischief." "How dared you! How dared she!" Then as his mind regained its full poise, "And how, even if yon had the temerity to venture an entrance hero, Ad yon manage to past my gates? They are never open, Bela teen to * » t " ^ As she watched she taw hit •yea* •ntd np to now upon her face, leave It •Hd pate furtiTely and with many heakf with fatal precision, they reached the point where the screen had stood, and not finding it, flew in open terror to the door it was set there to concealwhen that something else, huddled in oozing blood, on the floor beneath, drew them to itself with the irresistiblenesB of grim reality, and he forgot all else. Dead! Bela! Dead! and lying in his blood! The rest may have been no dream, but this was- surely one, or his eyes, used to inner visions, were playing him false. Grasping the table at hie side to steady his falling limbs, he pulled himself along by KB curving edge till he came almost abreaBt of the helpless figure which for so many years had been the embodiment of faithful and unwearied service. Then and then only did the truth of his great misfortune burst upon his bewildered soul; and with a cry which tore the ears of all hearers and was never forgotten by anyone there, he flung himself down beside the dead negro, and, turning him hastily over gazed in his face. "And where was I, when all this happened?" he demanded in a voice made low by awe and dread of its own sound. "You? You were seated here," murmured the little woman, pointing at the great chair. "You were not— quite—quite yourself," she softly explained, wondering at her own composure. Then quickly, as she saw his thoughts revert to the dead friend at his feet, "Bela was not hurt here. He was downtown when it happened; but he managed to struggle home and gain this place, which he tried to hold against the men who followed him. He thought you were dead, you Bat there so rigid and so white, and, before he quite gave up, he asked us all to promise not to let anyone enter this room till your son Oliver came." Understanding partly, but not yet quite clear in his mind, the judge sighed, and, stooping again, straightened the faithful negro's limbs. Then, with a sidelong look in her direction, he felt In one of the pockets of the dead negro's coat and, drawing out a small key, held it in one hand while he fumbled in his own for another, which found, he became on the instant his own man again. Miss Weeks, seeing the difference in him, and seeing, too, that the doorway was now clear of the wondering, awestruck group which had previously blocked it, bowed her slight body and proceeded to withdraw; but the judge, staying her by a gesture, she waited patiently near one of the bookracks against which she had stumbled, to hear what he had to say. "I must have had an attack of some kind," he calmly remarked. "Will you be good enough to explain exactly what occurred here that I may more fully comprehend my own misfortune and the death of this faithful friend." Then she saw that his faculties were now fully restored, and came a step forward. But before she could begin her story he added this searching question: "Was it he who let you in—-you and the others—I think you said others? Was it he who unlocked my gates?" Miss Weeks sighed and betrayed fluster. It was not easy to relate'her story; besides it was woefully incomplete. She knew nothing of what had happened downtown, she could only tell what had passed before her eyes. But there was one thing she could make clear to him, and that was how the seemingly impassable gates had been made ready for the woman's entrance and afterwards taken such advantage of by herself and others. A pebble had done it all—a pebble placed in the gateway by Bela's hands. As she described this and insisted upon the fact in face of the judge's almost frenzied disclaimer, she thought she saw. the hair move on his forehead. Bela a traitor, and in the interests of the woman who had fronted him from the other end of the room at the moment consciousness had left him! Evidently this intrusive little body did not know Bela or hit story, or— Why should Interruption come theh? Why was he stopped, when in the passion of the moment he might have let fall tome word of enlightenment which' would have eased the agitated curiosity of the whole town! Miss Weeks often asked herself this question and bewailed the sudden access of sounds in the rooms without, which proclaimed the entrance of the police anfl put a new strain upon the judge's faculty of self-control and attention to the one matter in hand. The commonplaces of an official inquiry were about to supersede the play of a startled spirit struggling with a problem of whose complexities he had received hut a glimpse. * • • • • * • The library again! but how changed! Evening light now instead of blazing sunshine; and evening light to shaded that the corners teemed far and the many articles of furniture, cumbering the spaces between, larger for the shadows in which they stood hidden. portion of the room where Bela had taken his stand and finally fallen; but from the place where he sat there was no getting any possible view of that part of the wall or of anything connected with it; and so, with every appearance of satisfaction at being allowed in the room at ail, Sergeant Doolittle from headquarters drank the judge's wine and listened for the judges commands. "Sergeant, I have lost a faithful servant under circumstances which have called an unfortunate attention to my house. I should like to have this place guarded—carefully guarded, you understand—from any and all intrusions till I can look about me and secure protection of my own. May I rely upon the police to do this, begining tonight at an early hour? There are loiterers already at the corner and in front of the two gates. I am not accustomed to these attentions, and ask to have my fence cleared." "Two men are already detailed for the job, your honqr. I heard the order given just as I left headquarters." The judge showed small satisfaction. "Two men! Couldn't I have three? One for each gate and one to patrol the fence separating these grounds from the adjoining lot?" "If two men are not enough to insure you a quiet sleep you shall have three or four or even more, Judge Ostrander. Do you want one of them to. stay inside? That might do the business better than a dozen out." "No. While Bela lies above ground, we want no third here.

Old, but Very Good, Are These Llttlfi Tit-Bits Which Most of Us Find a Pleasure in Between Real • Meals. Date cakes are novel and good Take one pound of dates, one-halt pound of English walnuts, the same quantity of figs and the white of one egg to make these. Seed the dates and chop them fine with the figs and nuts. Mix all together with the stiffly beaten white of the egg and bake in small drop-cakes. Peanut Crisps.—Peanut crisps are a fine substitute for the usual tea cakes. Shell a quart of peanuts and chop them fine. Add one cupful of powdered sugar, a tablespoonful of flour and the whites of two eggs. Beat up lightly and drop in spoonfuls on a buttered pan and brown in a moderate oven Lemon Wafers.—Lemon wafers and oranye wafers are made in the'same manner. Cream a cupful of butter with two cupfuls of sugar; work in two beaten eggs. Squeeze the juice from a large lemon and grate the rind. Add this to a small cupful of cold water and mix with the other ingredients. Then put in enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll very thin, cut in rounds or other shapes, and bake. Honey Candy.—To make honey candy, put half a pound of honey into a saucepan, add half a pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of cream and a dessertspoonful of cold water; then mix and stir well Allow to stand for one hour. Put over a moderate fire and cook, stirring gently until it is stiff enough to pull. Pour into buttered tins. When cool enough to handle pull and cut into small pieces. Caramels.—This recipe is very old and very good. Mix two cupfuls of chocolate, two cupfuls of milk, two cupfuls of molasses, two cupfuls of brown sugar and two-thirds of % cupful of butter together. Boil until it hardens ir water; but Just before it hardens flavor it with vanilla. "Who Is to Protect Me Against Your Men?" special to watch my room door. But it's of outside protection we're talking now. Only, who is to protect me against your men?" "What do you mean by that, your honor?" "They are human, are they not? They have instincts of curiosity like the rest of us. How can I be made sure that they won't yield to the temptation of their position and climb the fences they are detailed to guard?" "And would this be eo fatal to your peace, judge?" A smile tempered the suggestion. "It would be a breach of trust which would greatly disturb me. I want nobody on my grounds, nobody at all. Hat not my long life of solitude within these walls sufficiently proved this? I want to feel that these men of yours would no more climb my fence than they would burst into my house without a warrant." "Judge, I will be one of the men. Tou can trust me." "Thank you, sergeant i I appreciate the favor. I shall rtll % t i quietly as any man can who has met with a great loss. I shall always suffer from regret that I was not In a condition to receive Bela's last sigh. He wat a man In a thousand. One teldom sees hit like among white or black." . "He wat a very powerfully built man. It t,ook a slxty-horeepower racing machine, going at a high rate of speed, to kill him." A spasm of grief or unavailing regret grossed the judge's face at' his head sank back again against the high back of his Chair. "I should like to ask a question,** he finally observed. "Tou were not at the inquiry this afternoon, and may not know that jutt at Bela and the crowd about him turned this corner they ran into a woman leading a small child, who stopped the whole throng in order to address him. I taw that woman myself, earlier. She wat in this house. She wat in thit room. If you will content to look for her, and if the Is found and no stir made, I fill pay all that you think it right"! to demand." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Roatt Rabbit. Empty, skin and thoroughly wash the rabbit; wipe it dry, line the inside with sausage meat and forcemeat (the latter of bread crumbs, well seasoned and worked up). Sew the stuffing inside, skewer back the head between the shoulders, cut off the fore joints of the Bhoulders and legs, bring them close to the body and secure them by means of a skewer. Wrap the rabbit in buttered paper, keep it well basted, and a few minutes before it is done remove the-^aper, flour and froth it and let it acquire a nice brown color. It should be done in three-quarters of an hour. Take out the skewers and serve with brown gravy and red currant jelly. To bake the rabbit proceed in the same manner as above; in a good oven it will take about the same time as roasting. Most cooks garnish the rabbit with slices of lemon and serve up with currant jelly. Sometimes the head is cut off before sending to the table, but this is a matter of individual taste. Mushroom Stuffing. Add a small cupful of chopped mushrooms to a similar quantity ofxflne breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful ?f finely chopped ham, a teaspoonful of fine* ly chopped parsley, a dust of powdered thyme, a pinch of lemon rind and a small portion of onion. Mix all thoroughly, then fry in boiling fat, and use at a stuffing for marrow, tomatoes or large onions. To Preserve Cut Flowers. Cut flowers wither quickly from the heat In a room. If a small piece of camphor it placed in the water, it will keep them fresh much longer. The Cranberry Tart. We are all more or less familiar with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the tart shells are filled with plain sauce, while pie crust is latticed across the top. A cupful of seeded and chopped raisins may be added by way of variation. Whole berries cooked in sirup may be ueed at a meringue top. If the uncooked berries are used they thonld be mashed and well sweetened before being placed in the crust It requiret from forty-five minutes to an hour to thoroughly make the tarts in this case.

Saturday afternoon at the home of Dr. H, F. Sigler, a dramatization of the "Bird's Christmas Carol" was given under the auspices of Miss Kate Brown. Most people are probably familiar with the story in which an invalid child who is wealthy, conceives the idea of making Christmas day happy for a very poor family consisting of nine children. Both humor and pathos run throughout the Rook. Miss Brown dramatized the story in a very clever manner, arranging it in such a way that a caste, composed of the thirteen members of her Sunday] School Class in the M. E. Church, were able to act the play, in the presence of a delighted audience numbering nearly fifty people. Each and every one of the children performed bis or ber part well, especially little Lucy Glenn who took the part of the mother.

And It Had a Sobering Effect Upon "Hollering Jones." A. well known Illustrator who makes interesting western pictures once made the acquaintance of a noisy but good humored cowboy who rejoiced in the appellation of "Hollering Jones." In physical appearance this man was typical of bis kind, and the artist made several studies of him, both in repose and in his favorite dlversiou of "hollering." Some of the studies were sold by .theartist to an eastern magazine. They showed Jones in his most violent state, A year later the artist again visited tbe region. He was soon approached by Mr. .rones himself, bearing one of the pictures, which he had torn from the magazine in which it was printed. Pointing to It, be said: "-"Is that me?" '•Well," replied the artist evasively, MI got the general idea from, you, of course, but"— "Oh. I ain't takin* no offense," .lones made haste to say. "It's all right; only If it's me say so."

"I think you do." "In that case," said Hollering Jones, "all I've got to say is that Hollering Jones has hollered his last holler Hereafter, when I celebrates I does so with a tta horn.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Careful Investigation, has shown that the soil is always changing. Water and wind are always at work moving its particles from place to place, carrying them ultimately Into the sea. For the most part this Is a beneficial process. Were each particle of soil to remain forever in one place, the fertility of the land would be rapidly exhausted. As It is, new, unweathered and unexhausted fragments of the underlying rocks are continually adding to the fertility of the soil zont by taking the place of the wornout particles which nature removes. Under certain circumstances, however, it frequently happens that this process takes place too rapidly, that the particles of topsoil are removed before the underlying rock fragments have been sufficiently prepared to take their places. This 1s the case especially in the arid and semlarid regions and In sections where the soil is particularly sandy in character. Under such conditions "soil blowing:" may be the cause of serious damage. In the first place the soil itself may be so blown away that subsoil insufficiently weathered and filled with humus to be ready for crops, comes to the surface; and secondly, the crops themselves may bo lost through the blowing out of the seed or the uprooting, burial or cutting off of the young plants. Few General Expedients. The best remedy, according to the United States department of agriculture, for the farmer who finds himself confronted with difficulties of this sort is to adopt ft system of crops which will cover his land with vegetation at seasons when strong, dry winds are moet prevalent The exact system which the individual farmer should follow depends, of course, upon the climate, the available markets, and other local factors. There are, however, a few general expedients which It would be well for him to bear in mind. For example, if fall plowing is not necessary, the stubble of the last crop should be left on the soil as.late as possible in the spring, or oats or barley may be sown in the late summer or early fall. The plants will be killed *by the frost and will form a protective mat on the soil surface. Another expedient is to protect a slowgrowing crop from wind damage by a nurse crop which, planted at the same time, will grow more rapidly ana shield the former until it is sufficiently far advanced7 to take care of itself. A thin«seeding of rye and barley used in connection with alfalfa is a common instance of this method. On dry lands, however, where the scarcity of water must be considered, this plan is open to the objection that the nurse crop deprives the soil of a certain amount pf much-needed moisture. Many farmers, therefore, prefer to introduce alfalfa and similar Blow-starting crops by drilling in the seed in high-cut stubble of thinly sown millet or thickly seeded kafir corn. Summer Fallow Facilities. The Use of the summer fallow greatly facilitates excessive soil blowing in sections where dangerous winds are prevalent in the summer time, because the land is left fully exposed. This danger may be avoided to a considerable extent by seeding rows of coarse-growing crops at Intervals across the fallow fields at right angles to the direction of the prevailing winds. Where the wind danger is especially great it might even be desirable to abandon the summer fallow altogether, substituting for it a leguminous crop which may be plowed under in the fall. This practice has the great advantage of adding humus to the soil, thereby not only increasing its fertility but also its resistance to wind action. The presence of humus is indeed one of the best protections against blowing, the presence of organic bodies In the soil increasing its water-holding power and therefore aiding in keeping the surface moist. The sandy trucking soils of the East may nearly always be made naturally resistant to wind action by the addition of humus through the systematic planting of leguminous crops. Another Protect kin Method, Another method of protecting fields is to plant rows of trees or bushes or to build fences as windbreaks. This is effective but apt to be expensive not only because of the actual cost outlay involved but because of the amount of land which is left unproductive. For this reason the use of such artificial windbreaks can hardly be recommended for extensive agriculture, and is usually restricted to the. cultivation of fruits, garden vegetables, etc. Where windbreaks are erected, care should be taken to see that they are composed of trees or bushes whlen do not harbor insect pests and whose roots will not spread out Into the adjoining fields. Supply of Protein. Clover belongs to the same family as alfalfa, and can also be used to excellent advantage in connection with corn. Both hay plants supply the nutrient which is lacking in corn, namely, protein, to give a well-balanced ration, though alfalfa is somewhat richer than clover in this. Plant Trees. Plant trees. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a country home or, in fact, makes it look more like home than a house set in the midst of a beautiful lawn dotted with trees, shrubs and flowers. Success With Poultry. The successful poultryman has not stepped into that all at once. He has arrived at that by the Slow and arduous road of experience.'

WITH CHANTILLY LACE EXQUISITE MODEL FOR A FALL EVENING GOWN. y Every Detail of the Preaent Mode Contained in the Accompanying Design—FavoritexBlack and White Are the Colore. The model jUfifctrated today is typical of the flft^flvening gowns. Dainty and feminine looking, there is/a very obvious dignity about it that marks it for the new order of things and enhances its charm to a degree. Since black and black and white Black Lace la Back In Favor. affects are so modish this season, black lace has been brought Into favor once again, especially chantilly. Black laces have in general been out of the reckoning, but now it is just the thing for long transparent tunics, and there is a variety of ways of using it. The illustrated evening gown shows a chantilly tunic effectively bordered with white fur. The body part of the corsage and the short-pouched tunic are of black chiffon velour ornamented with circles of smoked pearl beads. The V decolletage allows a glimpse of white mallnes folded over the bust, and there Is a little flaring collar of the Bame at the back. Chantilly is again employed in the sleeves, and these, too, are bordered with a narrow white fur banding. The lace tunic veils a white taffeta skirt, which is completed below the length of the tunic with black chiffon velours, bordered, in turn, with the white fur. A recent twist of this idea of the lace tunic substitutes a net foundation built upon with flounces of lace, wide or narrow, or it may be that the net is crossed and recrossed with lace insertions, finished about Its lower edge with a wide self hem, or with a broad band of black velvet or taffeta. Velvet ribbon is playing an important part in tt^e decorative schemes of both day and evening dresses as a tunic border. MAKES DAINTY MENU CARD Design That May Be Colo.-ed at Home —Most Appropriate for Simple Formal Dinner. Those of our readers who are artistically inclined may like to try their hands at producing some dainty menu cards of the nature shown in oar sketch. Gilt-edged cards of various pale shades of .color can be purchased very inexpensively for this purpose and they should measure about three and a half Inches by four inches In size. To the back of the cards a support should be fitted made of a wedgeshaped piece of white card, hinted on at the top with a short piece of tape. Diagram A on the right at the top the support and the back of the card another short piece of tape should be fastened with a drop of glue, to prevent the Support opening too far. Diagram B Illustrates thlB, a cross again indicating the tape. On the front of the card running down the left hand side and along the top, some pretty little floral design, such as suggested in our sketch, can be painted in water colors, and the word "Menu" can be painted in the center in a color chosen possibly to match or harmonize with the color of the blossoms. Sets of, say, half a dozen of these cards with different pretty floral designs painted upon them would make a novel feature on a stall at a bazaar and be sure to sell well. RIBBONS IN GREAT VARIETY Ail Descriptions and Shades Called Into Use Both for Girdles and . ..Trimmings. Rich satin, faille and moire ribbons are used for girdles and hat trimmings. Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers outlined with velvet Velvet stripes appear in dark, rich roman ribbons Many rich ribbons are very dark, such shades as dark brown, navy, purple, mahogany, russian and stem greens, etc., and are blended with hair lines pf black, yellow, scarlet, pale blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of brocade have a rich effe# with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons are used for crush girdles. Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or silver scrolls or flowers are very handsome and are used for girdles or for collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply on the side. FOR KNITTING OR CROCHET Novel and Easily Made Bag, Which Requires Only Remnants for its Material. Our sketch shows a useful bag of a very novel nature that can be carried out with the aid of a remnant of almost=any strong material and that is convenient to use and easy to make. It can be prepared in any size to suit the requirements of the owner, i sffSv and consists of a broad band of ma* terial, lined with sateen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. The side pieces are made of soft satin gathered Into a little frill at the top and they are semicircular in shape and sewn on to the edges of the center piece. The handles are made of silk, cord attached to small key-rings fattened on to the sides of the bag with tabs of ribbon. To open it the handles have merely to be pulled apart, and the bag can then be laid almost flat upon the table so that the whole of the contents will be exposed and any article it may contain selected in a moment To make the tabs for fastening on the rings, cut a short piece of ribbon into points at both ends, then pass one end through the ring, fold-the ribbon and sew it together at the edges. It can afterward be sewn in place upon the side of the bag and the handle tied on in the manner shown in the sketch. / Good Plan.

HE good old custom of hanging inJfttietoe from the ceiling at the Christmas festivities is said to have its origin in the idea that since the plant did not have its roots in the ground no part of it should ever be permitted to touch the earth. Among the Saxons the fact that mistletoe was suspended from the roof of a dwelling intimated to the wayfarer that the hospitality of the house was at his disposal, and beneath its branches friend and stranger, vassal and lord, gathered in comradeship and good cheer. The religious aspect of the mistletoe tradition, which had its origin in the Druidical rites and the gathering of it by the archdruid with his golden sickle, merged later into a purely social symbol, and the idea of simple hospitality developed into one of merrymaking and a somewhat riotous entertainment. The kiss of the Scandinavian goddess expanded into the custom of a k)ss given for every berry that grew on the bough. Smalf wonder that, in spite of the mistletoe having originally existed In the odor of the sanctuary, the church came to regard it as an entirely pagan symbol and refused to allow it to participate with the lily and the evergreen in the Yuletide decorations. There is an ancient belief that the mistletoe was the tree from which the holy cross was hewn and that after this was made the plant withered and ever afterward became a mere parasitic growth, clinging for support to other and sturdier trees. Other stories, however, credit it with divine gifts in the healing of diseases and the expulsion of evil spirits. Ram, the high priest of the Celts, received in a dream the intimation that by means of the plant he would be enabled to save his people from the plague which was decimating them. To celebrate their delivery he instituted the feast of Noel (new health), a midwinter holiday, which has come to be considered coincident with the new year. In many partB of the United Kingdom the silver berries and the graygreen leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an emblem of good cheer; on the contrary, the plant is regarded with dread as being the bringer of ill luck and the sign of ill omen. This superstition exists both in Devonshire and in Ireland, and, strange to say, in neither of these places does the plant flourish, owing, report has it, to the fact that both lncurre*d the displeasure of the Druids and were in consequence cursed in such a way that their soil became incapable of nourishing the sacred growth. In (he sixth book of Aeneid a lengthy description of the mistletoe is given by Virgil, who makes the Sybil describe to his hero the exact spot in hades where he will find it growing. There is little doubt that the strange ethereal appearance of the little opaque berry is largely responsible for the mystic character it has enjoyed among the people of divers nations from the earliest historical times.

WAITING FOR YQ '" • > . I Yes, waiting for every farmer or farmer's son — any industrious American who i* fanxious to establish for himself a happy home and prosperity. Canada's hearty invitation this year is more attractive than ever. Wheat i s higher but, her farm land just as cheap and in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 160 Acre Homesteads are ActuaKy Free to Settlers and Other Land at From $15 to $20 per Acre * - The people of European countries as well as the American continent must be fed - t h u s an even greater demand for Canadian Wheat will keep up the price. Any farmer who can buy land at $15 00 to $30.00 per acre —get a dollar for wheat and raise 20 to 45 bushels to the acre U bound to make money—that's what you can expect in Western Canada. Wonderful yields also of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed Farming is fully as profitable an industry as grain raising. The excellent grasses, full of nutrition, are the only food required either for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools, markets convenient, climate excellent Military service is nut compulsory in Canada but there is an unusual demand for farm labor to replace the many young men who have volunteered for service in the war.

One morning Mrs. Wilmington's attention was attracted by a strange spectacle coming up the street At that distance she could not quite make it out. It appeared to be some sort of animal with n headlight fastened to its forehead. As it carao nearer it resolved itself into the shape of a human being—perhaps some sheik with a red fez. But in another moment Mrs. Wilmington recognized Martha Maria Sophrina Smith, the seventeen-year-old colored girl who came every Monday for the laundry. Martha Maria had u flaming red ribbon four incbes wide round her head. It was tied .in front into a huge bow, the' wings of which stood out four inches beyond her forehead. Mrs. Wilmington was surprised, for, although she bad noticed some of the signs of pride of dress in Martha Maria, the girl had more than tbe*ordinary amount of good taste. "Why. Martha." exclaimed Mrs. Wil-j ton Post, mln^ton. as the girl came round the porqjh. "what in the world are yoo wuuflng that bow for?" A slow grin widened the girl's mouth as she said: "To attract attention, missy." "to attract attention? Why do you want to attract attention?' «1 don't, mania." Then why art you wearing that •wftri bow on your foreheadr "So Xoikaee win look At man haid." •*Wby do. yon wast them to Took at yourheadr "So they wont look at man feet-I * o t inlet in mafa shoe*." — Youth's Companion. •i ' ' .

I was curious to know what clean up day meant, and he told me. "It appears that in the making of signs a great deal of gold leaf is used. and necessarily some of it is wasted. just as It is when gold letters are placed on show windows. I had never noticed that when the painter is at work putting the leaf on be is careful to conserve all the leavings. Just so in the shops. All refuse there is on refolly brushed into a pile and kept. In three months' time there will be a great deal of what appears to be rubbish around a sign painter's'shop, but the painter knows its value. This rubbish is cleaned up. stowed in bags and sent' to Philadelphia, where it is screened and tbe particles of gold leaf extracted. My friend Informed mt» that It is not unusual to get as high_as $90 out of one shipment of rubbish, all of which goes to the workmen in the shop arid not to the owner."—Washing , The Candle Wick. i W'hon the old fashioned dips were in 'common use groat annoyance was ! caused by the burnt wick standing up | right MS the fat disappeared, male inn it j smoky tin me. which necessitated a eon j stant use of the .snuffers.

Christionia is probably the most tastefully laid out capital of any state in Europe, Paris itself not excepted. It owes its foundattotwcntlrely to Sing Christian IV. of Denmark, from whom it takes its name, who in or about the year 1G23 decided to erect for himself a new capital on the opposite side of the river to Oslo. / The whole of the main streets of tho city run at right angles and are e s (tremety wide. Indeed, It would hardly be an exaggeration to call them squares rather than streets. For the most part the architecture is rather heavy in design, but the dear air that comes from the florda tends to give the whole place a tone of lightness that it would othe> wise lack. The river Aker contains a wonderful series of waterfalls in the upper courses somo little distance from the city, where practically the whole of the necessary power for the ever grow* ing manufacturing quarter of tbe Norwegian capital i s generated.

"Well, my boy, I don't know that i have any objection." said the president "There are plenty of them, 1 suppose, in the toy shops." "Oh, but I don't want a toy theater," protested the youngster. "I want a real one. There isn't any reason why we shouldn't have a theater in the White House." Mr. Lincolu was not at first disposed to take the suggestion favorably, but Tad, who was his favorite child and at that time eleven years old, was per sisteut, and at length the indulgent parent yielded, This was just before the Christmas of 18G3—too late to have the theater ready for the holidays, many preparations being required. But it is a matter of history, though known to few, that not long after the follow tng New Year's day the boy's ambition was realized, a room on the second floor of the executive mansion being' set aside for the purpose and a. stage erected, with gas footlights and.simple scenery.

Before railways coaches changed horses at Alexandria and at the capital, and loads of young belles and beaus went to the Christmas parties in Washington, carrying to the president and his family holly and trailing pine from their southern homes. President Buchanan, with Miss Lane, "the golden beauty of the White House," gave grand fetes to the young people of the capital in- 1858-9 on Christmas eve. The maidens wore em pire gowns and high combs. To each guest Miss Lane gave a sprig of holly berries a9 a souvenir. Perhaps the most attractive event of President Johnson's administration was the Christmas party for children given to please his nephews and niece* and'their friends. A platform stood in the center of the east room, on which sat the Marine band. Overhead were festooned silken flags, and flowers bloomed everywhere.

About ten clays before Christmas la the City of Mexico the puestos in the Calle do San Diego begin to grow festive with evergreens, flowers, bright berries and other greens brought in from the mountains by the paisanoa to delight the eye and tempt the purses of the promenaders. In the booths of the neighboring Calle de San Juan are displayed fruits, nuts aud candles, and still others offer angels, shepherds, sheep, mules, oxen and other objects suggestive of the Saviour's birth. Probably the greatest attraction for the Mexican children are the pinataa. Peddlers may be seen sauntering along the streets carrying long poles which are strung with varicolored plnatas of every description, draped with tinsel These represent flowers, fruits, animals and even men and women, and each contains a jar filled with goodies. They range in price from 25 centavos to several ^dollars, according to their degree of elaborateness. The pinata Is suspended from the celling or hung In the courtyard.

T IS a question whether the families helped or the workers helping them get most joy out of the Christmas distribution. A real settlement worker, one imbued with the right spirit, will tell you that only one who has visited the homes of the poor and the Buffering on Christmas eve can realise the pleasure of bringing happlneBs and .sunshine Into these homes. Many settlement visitors, who have given up the work for some reason or another, but who return to assist with the Christmas distributions, give generously from their own purses that the baskets may be larger and more families aided. Wealthy women, who have never d o n e settlement work, enter into the Santa Claus spirit and visit the alley and tenement districts of the large cities on the night b e f o r e Christmas, t h e i r autom6biles heavily laden with toys, turkeys and good things to . eat They employ investigators to canvass the section In which they are Interested a week before the holidays, and the distribution is made according to their reports. Oftcntime* •mall trees are sent to the hornet, with glass balls, trimmings and candy toys, and the donors, with the aid of their chauffeurs and the parents of the children, fix the tree while the little tots are asleep. Though little known, Santa Claus' work in the slums of the big cttlea Is carried on along systematic lines to overcome any overlapping of the multitude of good intentions. In dayi gone by, charitably inclined women would leave a large basket of provision in a house in ignorance Of another basket hidden in the closet And it was not unusual for two or three workers to meet in the same kitchen at the one time, each burdened with good things for the one family. This Is an error of the past; for now the Christmas giving has been systematized. Settlement workers of the various societies and representatives of the wealthy private givers compile a list of those they will assist, and all go over their lists carefully together. '_ Although the Christmas giving Is all cut and dried a few days before the time, Santa Claus' secret is not given away. Half of the pleasure would be gone if the families knew that the visitors were coming with food and toys in abundance. It Is true that those who are visited and quitted by the private workers have a Bhrewd suspicion, after they have told their tale of woe and received the sympathy of the visitor, that something substantial it to follow. The regular settlement workers know their ground pretty well; they know which famlllet have had a hard road' to travel and are putting up a good battle against the tide of misfortune. The settlement workers have little Investigating to do before the holidays; their entrance Into a home or tenement It always greeted with surprise, for they generally make It a point to go where they are least expected ' "The poor are always with us" it doubly true at Christmas time. Families who can barely exist, who do not know where the next day1* bread tt coming from, oaa certainly not afford any- axtrat for the holiday season. They consider themselves fortunate if they have a loaf or two of bread and a small piece of meat for the Christmas dinner and coal for the kitchen toe. No one appreciates this seamy tide of the bright Chrittmaa story more than the charity worker. She knows that tribulations exist at Christmas time at during any other part of the year. Tears of experience have shown her how to use tact and good Judgment on her travels and where the cannot leave good cheer, the can at least make the sorrows and trouble* easier to bear. The "Angel of the Settlement" knowt, more than any one else, that there are many catet whan the word "Merry Chrittmaa" would sound like a mockery; where the hand of death, far Instance, ha* been heavily felt rfjjnen ft take* away the chief provid- | | of a large faatty. <6he know*, alto, that the Chrittmaa spirit it cherished by thq poor a* wall a* the wealthy.

The hearts of many men who have been separated from their wives and families become softened at the holidays draw near, and it isn't uncommon for the settlement worker to find them together when the comet with the Chrlstma* basket Many prodigal tons return on Christmas eve. A striking case of this kind that occurred two yean ago was run across by a settlement worker In Philadelphia. She said that she had never witnessed a scene on any stage that could equal It It was a real case of where the Christmas prayer of a broken-hearted mother was answered by the return of her boy. ' The son ran away from home seven years earlier, when a youth of sixteen years. He had a good home and the family •consisted of his parents, an older brother and a tlster. His father was a hard-working man and used all hit earnings for his home.. The younger boy, being the baby of the family, was the pet of all; but he had a wild disposition, and he wanted to tee something of life. He decided to run away from home and go West When he reached the ranches of Arizona he found that the cowboy life watnt at bright at it was painted. •He longed for home many a time, but vowed that he would not return a failure. He persevered until he had made good, though it took seven year* tor him to do it Hit fearlessness and daring attracted the attention of the owner of the ranch, and he placed him In charge of another place. "When the young man had a goodly wad of bills) accumulated he decided to return In time for Christmas. He reached the old house to find that another family was living there, and he learned from neighbor* that hit father was dead; that hi* titter had grieved to over hit disappearance that the died shortly after he had left, and that hit brother had been killed In an accident The mother, doubly aged .with grief, had been left alone and was subsisting aa beat the could in a third-story room. The ton lost no time and arrived in the room just after the settlement worker bad reached there with her basket of provisions. The mother had just finished telling her etory to the sympathetic listener when this latest prodigal returned. "No one can really appreciate," said a settlement worker In another city, "how happy'one feels utter visiting the hornet of the poor on Chrittmaa eve. The gratitude of one woman alone last year was enough to recompense me for the work I did. This woman's husband was in the penitentiary tawing an 18-year term far murder. It appear* that he and a companion were working in the cranberry bog*. They quarreled, and in a scuffle this man atabbed hit opponent Ho made hit wife promise aha would never allow the family of ttx to be separated. She not only kept tuam together by taking in washing and working until all hour* of the night, but sne refused to accept outside aid la any shape or form. There would new* bean no Chrtstmaa in this home, and It was a delicate undertaking to bring a woman like this any provisions. But I explained to her that it was a present and her joy was only equaled by that of her children, who were more than delighted with their new toys. "I have been in homes where the children never had toys, and I have brought them their first playthings. In one case there weirs two children, a boy and a girl, Pepino and Mechaimo. Their father died, when they were babies, and the mother supported them. She had come to this country a bride and was not well versed with the American way of doing thingu. She did not even know how to make a rag doll for the 'children. We brought those children a small tree, decorated It, and gave them plenty of toys. Words couldn't tell the happiness of those little one*. "There i* more pleasure in the work then you would imagine We see many sad scenes, sorrow and joy mingled together, but we also and much to amuse us. Last year wa took a basket to an old colored woman. Her husband was a paralytic and she had two orphaned grandchildren to keep. Christmas to her was to be the same as any other day until we arrived with the provisions and toys. She glanced at us as we entered the room, and when we put, the basket on the table, she stared at it and pointed to herself, aa much as to say, 'For met I said, 'Yes, Lisa, that's for you.' You could see nothing but the whites of her eyes, and she raised both of her hands above her head, clasped them together and said, 'De Lord be praised.' That was all she said; but she repeated it time and again. One time her eyes would be aa large a* dollars and she would Joyously sing the 'De Lord be praised' and again she would be sad and mournful and moan 'De Lord be praised/ » "Finally her husband, who was unable to leave his chair, lost his patience and he shouted, 'Lisa, good Lord, woman, has you done lost your head altogether? Why don't you thank the ladies?' Then, aa a sort of apology to us, be said: 'You'll have to excuse her, ladies, fer she has surely done lost her head altogether/ As we left the room and glanced back, poor Liza was still standing there, looking at us with her hands clasped before her and slowly nodding her head saying: De Lord be praised/ We concluded Lisa knew better than her husband. She was thanking the right one* "I have witnessed many reooasiHations of familiet of foreigner* on Chrittmaa eve. The afternoon that I spent at the immigration station last year was one of the plotstntcst of my life.

There are Inspectors in the United States department of agriculture have found in the course of their work that ignorance or carelessness on the part of stock owners has frequently led to fresh outbreaks of infectious disease after it had been supposed that the previous ones had been completely stamped out Comparatively few farmert, It It said, realise the importance of the scientific disinfection of premises which have once harbored infected stock. When it Is remembered that the germ which causes' tuberculosis in cattle measures about one-thousandth of an inch in length, it is obvious that the "lick-and-promise" method of cleaning la no obstacle at all to the existence of the disease. The germ of glanders Is little larger. These two germs are thrown off by diseaaed animals in large quantities. In the average stable they have no difficulty in finding many lodging places whence any one of a hundred different thing* may cava* them to emerge, and start a fresh outbreak upon the farm. When a stable haa once harbored diseased animals, therefore, absolute disinfection with sufficiently powerful disinfectants is the only way to insure the stock from another visitation. In Farmers' Bulletin 480, "Practical Methods of Disinfecting Stables," some of the most easily obtainable disinfectants are named, .tnd the best methods of applying them discussed. In the first place it is imperative that the stable be thoroughly cleaned before any disinfectant at all Is applied. The various surfaces such at ceilings, walls, partitions, floors, etc., should be swept free from cobwebs and dust Where the filth hat been allowed to accumulate, this should be removed by thorough scrubbing. If the woodwork has become soft and porous so that it affords a good refuge for the disease germ, it should be torn down and burned and new wood substituted. All refuse of every description should be removed to a place inaccessible to live stock and there either burned or treated with a solution of chloride of lime in the proportion of six ounce* to one gallon of water. If the floor of the stable is of earth, the surface toil should be removed to a depth of four inches or more and new earth substituted. It it better, however, to take advantage of this opportunity to lay down a concrete floor, which in the end will be found more satisfactory as well aa more sanitary. The stable thus thoroughly cleansed and stripped of all it* odd* and end* and refuse is now ready for the application of the disinfectant A disinfectant is a drug which haa the power of destroying germ* merely by eom- TEACHING EWE TO OWN LAMB V Among Other Plane Advocated I* That of Taking Skin From Dead Animal and Placing on Another. (By BL M, NELSON. Oregon Experiment] Station.) Nearly every year one lamb or more diet, even out of the wmall flocks that run on the general farm. In such cases the ewes may be made stepmother*. But of course/it will be necessary to get the ewe to own the strange Iamb. Thia may be accomplished in either of the following wayt: The akin may be taken from the dead lamb and placed over the- lamb to be adopted. Bwe* recognise their lamb* by the scent, and the odor of the lambskin will make the ewe believe that the lamb 1* her own. The •km should he removed to about fortyeight hoars, or sooner if asdssnaty. The ewe nay he caught and held a number of these drugs, varying considerably in efficacy, and some of them dangerous to animal aa well as germ life. Bichloride of mercury is one of the moat powerful, but it haa the great disadvantage of being a violent poison and in consequence great care mutt be used when handling it to keep it away from all live stock. For ordinary purposes it is probable that cresol or the compound' solution of creaol, known as liquor creaolis composltua, is best adapted to general use. When the latter is used, it should he mixed with water in the proportion of four or five ounces to a gallon. Cresol is not as soluble at the oompound solution and should, therefore, be thoroughly stirred while mixing. If a grade of the drug guaranteed to be W per cent pure is secured, two or three ounce* to a gallon of water will be sufficient To apply the disinfectant on anything but a very limited surface, a strong spray pump is essential. The pump should be equipped with IS feet of none with a Are-foot" section of iron pipe, with a spraying nossle at one end, attached to i t The entire Interior of the stable should be saturated with the solution forced through this apparatus. Special attention should be given to feeding troughs and drains, as it is in these that the disease germs are moat likely to find their first resting places. After a thorough spraying with the disinfectant it ia. well to apply a lime wash containing four or five ounces' of chloride of lime to each gallon. In many cases, however, it will save trouble if this wash Is combined with the disinfectant This can he done In the following manner: for five gallons of disinfecting fluid, slake 7¼ pounds of lime, using hot water if necessary tor start action. Mix to a creamy consistency with .water. Stir in IS fluid ounces of cresol, at least 95 per cent pure, and make up to Ave gallons by adding water. In case compound solution of creaol is used, add 30 fluid ounces Instead of 15. 8tir the whole mixture thoroughly and, tf it is to be Applied through a spray nestle, strain through' a wire sieve. 8tir frequently when applying and keep covered when not in Inforce the Bird Law.

Nothing adds more to the homelike air of a house than prettily shaded, lighted candles, whether upon the dining room table, in the living rooms or the boudoir.

This is made from four circular doilies of sheer handkerchief linen edged with chmy lace one inch wide, each doilymeasuring six inches in diameter, for a small shade when finished, larger slsea up to lamp shades to be In proportion, of course. If only one shade is to be made, the best and cheapest way is to cut the four squares from a handkerchief, because then there will be no waste. Linen is so wide that even when the smallest quantity is bought more than half will be wasted. A woman's handkerchief is ample for a small shade. A man's will make the larger. Also doilies all ready stamped for working can be bought at ten cents each. However, one may be more individual if she can trace her own design, and as they are so simple this should not be difficult to do. For instance, if she traced the design of her dinner ware upon the linen and worked it out in the same coloring the light shining through the linen would give the shade all the impression of being porcelain, too.

Ten cents for embroidery silk will be ample, while the square wire shades come from ten cents upwards. In putting on the lace the outer edge must be perfectly fiat and without the slightest bit of fullness. For this reason it is better to use quite a narrow lace edging. The inner edge must be drawn up, of course. • Then it is basted neatly to the edge of the doily, and stitched by machine. A certain crispness in the linen is necessary to keep the shade firm. This is obtained by putting through warm water and then through a thin boiled starch. They can be ironed, needlework downward, on flannel, but there is no better way of pressing embroidered linens than to lay them dripping upon the sides of a> porcelain bathtub and leaving them there until bone dry. They will look like new, the embroidery will stand out clearly (embroidery upward this time), and there is no hot iron to fade the colors. Every scrap of air must be pressed out, and the edges of the lace be clearly defined when laying on the tub. This done, leave the article absolutely alone. The doilies are attached to the wires with a few stitches taken through the lace.—Washington Star. ing of thin wool wadding, which gives extra warmth and firmness, this again being covered with soft satin or thick silk.

By HENRY W. LONQFELLOW. !5hree kinys camo riding from far away- Melchior and Uaspar and Baltaaar. flforea wiee men out of the east were they. And they traveled by night and they alept by day, For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star. • 3Jhe star was BO beautiful, large and clear That all the other stara of the sky :ame a white mist In the atmosphere, id by this they knew that the comina was near Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy. Three caskets they bore on their saddle-, bows, .Tt>ree caskets of gold with colden key*. Their robes were of crlmion <«ilk with rows Of bells and pomegranates andvfurbelow*. Their turbans like blossoming almond trees. Azid.eo the three kings rode Into the west Through the dusk of night, over hill and dell, j&sd sometimes they nodded with beard on breast And sometimes talked as they paused to rest With the people they met at some wayside well. •^Of the child that is born," said Baltaaar, "Good people. I pray you tell us the news, ¾r we in the east have aeen his star d have ridden fast and have ridden far To And and worship the King of the Jews." And the people answered, "You ask In vain; We know of no king but Herod the Great." They thought the wise men were men Insane As they spurred their horses across the plain Like riders in haste who cannot wait And when they came to Jerusalem Herod the Great, who had heard this thing, Sent for the wise men and questioned them And said, "Go down unto Bethlehem Sknd bring tidings of this new King." SENT FOB THE WISE MEN AND QUi»- TIONED THEM. fio they rode away, and the star stood still, The only one In the gray of morn— ITes, it stopped—it stood still of Its own free will Slight over Bethlehem on the hill, The city of David, where Christ was born. And the three kings rode through the gate and the guard, t Through the silent street till their horses turned And neighed as they entered the great inn yard, Cut the windows were closed, and the doors were barred, And only a light In the stable burned. And cradled there in the scented hay, In the air made sweet by the breath of kine, The little child in the manger lay^ The child that would be King some day ' Of a kingdom not human, but divine. Bis mother, Mary of Nazareth, ~8at watching beside his plaee of rest, , Watching the even flow of his breath, Cor the 5oy of life and the terror of death Were mingled together in her breast Sphey laid their offerings at his feet The gold was their tribute to a king; <fhe frankincense, with its odor sweet !Was for the priest; the paraclete, The myrrh for the body's burying. And the mother wondered and bowed her head And sat a s still as a atatue of stone. Her heart was troubled, yet comforted, Bememberlng what the angel had said Of an endless reign and of David's throne. Then the kings rode out of the city gate With a olatter of hoofs, in proud array, But they wont not book tp Herod the Groftt. /--^^ X ~ For they kmtwAiiu m*tte* and feared hii hate.

While there have been many discussions as to the relative value of the different branches of an army, there Is uo doubt, according to a writer in the Scientific American, but that it 1H the infantry that wins battles. While it la probable the success of a battle will depend to a large extent on the support of the field artillery, it is certain that the principal and most Important arm is the Infantry, which in practically every case must decide the iinal Issue. The cavalry may be the first to be drawn into a battle and the artillery may destroy the enemy's artillery, but 41 battle is never won until the infantry baa driven back the enemy's lines. The usual mode of advancing for the infantry is to deploy them in a line with a long interval between each soldier. This naturally is for the purpose of offering a smaller target for the enemy. It makes It more difficult, however, for the leaders to keep as good control over the men. and for that reason one of the objects of field artillery is to make the enemy's troops deploy early. Rugs, Slippers, Bags, aad Suit Cases, Etc. Mens Suits, Overcoats and Haberdashery Old Turkish Custom As long ago as 1613 Coryate visited Constantinople and has left s minute account of its manners and customs. Among other matters he notes that "it Is the custom that whensoever any lire ariseth in the city to hang up him in whose bouse it beginneth, as now a cook in whose house St begun was banged up presently after the fire ceased." The Turks themselves, it appears, were models of good breeding. "The Turk doth never at the saluting of bis ( friend at any time of the day or when he drlnketh to him at dinner or supper put off his turban, as we Christians do our hats one to another, but bowetb his head and puttetb his right band upon his breast, so that he utterly dis liketh the fashion that is used? amonK us of putting off our hats. Therefore, when he wisheth any ill to his enemy he prayeth God to send him no more rest than a Christian's hat." , YOU CANNOT DO BETTER All Purchases Xmas Wrapped at Your Request. THAN TO VISIT W. J.

Those under ten grains are sold by the ounce, aoove that by the grain. Color has a deal to do with the value The white pearls go mostly to Europo and the yellow ones to India. In Australia an ounce of good white pearls will fetch up to $500, but sometimes realizes only a fifth of that amount The yellow pearls may be rated on an average at about half the value of the white ones. The seed pearls used for cheap jewelry can be had for $5 per ounce and discolored pearls for 7s. Gd., but if the discoloration is peculiar the value is sometimes enhanced. For the low class of seed pearls there is a constant demand among oriental physl- | dans and apothecaries, who grind them into a powder and administer it to patients as a cure for many ills. Virginia Wss Fifth Kingdom. Virginia is known as the Old Dominion because It was sometimes recognized as a Beparate dominion. Spenser, in 1590, dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Elizabeth, queen of England, France, Ireland and Virginia. When James VI. of Scotland came to the English throne Scotland was added and Virginia was called In com* pllment the fifth kingdom. And as Virginia stood firm for Charles II. after the execution of his father, Charles, in gratitude, caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Scotland and Ireland, as an Independent member of the kingdom. •*•&##»» Send home n e w s in the form of the Dispatch a s a welcome Christmas gift.

Attack of the Cossacks The Russian Cossacks have a form of attack which Is peculiarly their own it is known as the "lava." Cossack horses are specially trained to carry out the maneuver. The leading sotnia (squadron) spreads out to right and left, and the others, at full speed, form up on either side of it in a semicircle or half moon. Every man with a lance is attended by a man wearing a sword, and all the officers are in front of the men of each sotnia. The other squadrons do not wait for a special order, but at ones adopt the same formation, endeavoring to surround the enemy from another side. With loud shouts reminiscent of the red Indian warwhoop the Cossacks rash down on the foe. end even though the first sssault be repulsed another "lava" poors down on the shaken enemy. This system of attack takes its name, of coarse, from tlM ttanld products of volcanic activity. —London Mail.

'. | Not many people know bow the seal i of the far north gets air when the Arct' .tic ocean is entirely coveted with,many I feet of ice. ' The small spotted seal, whic^ is a i hail- seal and not a fur bearer, is the hardy dweller of the northern waters. ' Under bis tough, thick skin be has an incb or., more' of\blub"er.,,; When the ice closes up the open water in the Arctic the seal selects a spot and be gins to drill a hole to the surface by pressing his warm nose against the ice. Nobody knows how many hours It takes him to accomplish his task, but he manages i t and, although he Is obliged to work most of the time because the surface of the hole Is continually freezing, he keeps it open all winter and obtains air. Seals have been known to drill in this manner through fifty feet of solid ice. Whether or not they take tarns in the slow drilling is not positively known. It is at these "seal holes" that the polar bear seeks food in the winter and there the Eskimo waits, spear in hand, for his weekly supply of meat—Youth's Companion.

Glen H. Beurmann, Howell The Quality Furniture Store We Pay the Freight on all Furniture and Crockery to l>e Delivered in Pinokney Christmas Sermon In Words of One Syllable. An innovation in sermons was the one delivered by the Rev. A. Smythe Palmer, M. A., O. D., vicar of Holy Trinity church, Wanstead, England, on the birth of Christ. This sermon is entirely in words of one syllable. HE spt'JiKs tlie mind or God who tells us aud would have rms know what God thinks, for if it were not for biin we could not know at all. "God did so Jove the world that he gave his own, one Son, to be born at this time for us» to the end that all who trust in him should not die, but have the life which lasts for aye.'1 He came and ''dwelt with us" on earth that men might set* with their owu eyes at least ode pure life, lived free from sin. He was made "flesh of our tiesh" and "bone of our bone," "God with us" in truth, but man no less, true man ;ind true God—a child 'like one of our own. That is the strange thing, so rteop that no man. wise as he may be. can quite take it in. He was to be "God with us." but at the same time "a worm and no man"— less than u man in the grief and pain and scorn which he bore. The texts take our thoughts back to the birth of this day. It is a birthday for the whole world to keep. All men can sny: "To us this child is born: to ns God gave this son of his love. I have my share in it." Asd so we are all glad of heart and make our church gay with plants and flowers and sins our hymns of joy and keep the feast with gifts and good fare. It is the birth day of nil our hopes. Now, it was good news of great joy that the host from on high brought to the herds who kept watch on their sheep in the fields. And It is still so. For us, as much as for them, was born in that small town one strong to save. "Which It Christ the Lord." It Is old news now* and I fear it falls on our dull, cold hearts like some old tale of long past time which baa lost its charm. Oh, let us not shut our ears to It as some of those first men did! When be came to bis own bis .own would not take him in. They said. There Is ao room for Wm bere"-no rrmn ft tlm, im> wtom tr ramr tfl.lt- It wasTnot anTun. you must Know," MUH one of ours, but a mere bare court where those on the road might rest—a "khan" they call it in the east. Does It not seeuj to us a sad and a strange sight that a young babe should be shut out in the cold night—God in want of house room? A poor place, ar best, as nide and rough as we can well think, and, such as it was. quit** full with the crowd who had come first The host of the inn sends them off He tells them there is a cave :it tinback of the inn where the beasts n:v kept; they may find rest there, if they will. That cave, where the birth of all time took place, is still shown in the rock. A great church built there marks the spot. Then, poor, mean and cold, it was the best place he could find to lay his head. "The fox has his hole and the bird of the air her nest, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay bis head." So. in , that cave in the rock, the stall of the i ox and the ass. in the crib out of which they ate their hay. the newborn babe was laid. .lust tbink what all this i means—God made flesh, God born as I man in this world of ours, that he might find a way to bring back man to I God! He hid bis might and men hid ' their face from him. None but the j herds who kept their sheep saw or ; knew of it till they fell to the ground j in a great blaze of light, and a host of bright ones In the sky sang such a song as no choir on earth has snng. which gave praise to God on high*. "and on earth peace, good will to men." Those herds had faith to go and seek the child of whom tbey were told. They found him in the crib, and tbey saw more than their eyes could see They knew that In that weak child was the power of God to save. And so those good men. when tbey had bow'd down. went back to their flock, struck with awe. and "gave praise to God for all the/ had heard and seen." 8ball we do less? Shall we not, too. go home and gtrs thanks on our part with joy for what we hart heard? And In all our joy let us find room for the one guest who should not be left outroom In our hearts for him whose word la life. Walt Till You're Cosier.

The Christinas tree was rarely seen in England until made popular by the German husband of (^neen Victoria, and. while it is universal there at the present time, it is the Yule log and the mistletoe that hold the center of attraction. Long before England became a Christian country the Yule log was burned in honor of a pagan deity at the winter solstice, and the infectious spirit of cheer and good will which prevailed at that time survived when Christianity spread abroad. Tbe festivities in England begin with the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve. In many parts of the country tbe whole family, including serv ants, gather about tbe hearth and "beguile the long evening with rural games, legendary jokes and oft told Christmas tales." One of tbe oldest customs observed in England is the singing of Christmas carols from house to house by Christmas carolers. Some of the carols sunt: today are at least 400 years old. Christmas Balls. I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old, familiar carols play And, wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, rood will to men! -Longfellow. Resistance by Air. The effects of air resistance are well shown In the twelve and a half miles Simplon tunnel, where an exceptionally high amount of energy is required for running the electric trains. Tbe tunnel, which Is fifteen feet wide and eighteen feet high, with a sectional area of 250 square feet has a ventilating current of 3.530 feet cubic of air per second, maintained by two large blast fans at the Brigue end and two exhaust fans a t Iselle. Trains going with this current encounter less resistance than in open air up to fifteen and a half miles an hour, bat at higher speeds or in tbe opposite direction the resistance la much greater than outside, Meting by gravity down the seven per out thousand maximum gradient a train, even though going with the current cannot exceed thirty-five mlJes an hour on account of the braking by the air.

Assuan, where the circumference of the earth was first determined—a work which was said to have been done nt the bottom of the well. The chamber in which the astronomer's instruments were placed was ideally fitted for its purpose. Only a strip of s*ky was observable. On one of tbe stucco walls tbe astronomer has left a record of his calculations. • • • • • • • • • • < Mutt Have Soma Evidence.

About eight o'clock last Saturday eveuiug, Pinckney people wt-re notified by telephone that Robert Edwards of Audersou had been instantly killed by the Grand Trunk train going west. " Drs. C. L, and H. F. Sigler were summoned, but Edwards was past human aid. Mr. Edwards was about 53 years «|age aud formerly came from Punrt, Ontario, to act as mauager of the cheese factory at Anderson, Ho was well liked by all who becime acquainted with him. Saturday evening he went down to the west bound passenger traiu as usual to assist in removing empty milk cans from the car/ Whether be slipped on the ice before the arrival of the train, and was thus accidently thrown unconscious in the pathway of the oncoming locomotive or whether Iiuman hands placed his body on the track after* knocking him into insensibility, will ba brought out at the inquest to be held next Tuesday. It is reported that the engineer saw the body before the train quite reached the spot where it lay but oot in time to stop the engine. The body was earned about a hundred yards,' crushing nearly every b'one. A sister. Mrs. J. E. Roberts, came from Detroit Monday to make arrangements for the federal which wa? held in Duart, Ontario, Tuesday morning, December 14. Besides Mrs. Roberts, he is survived by ,four other sisters and one brother. The Hoe and lae DODI'Q The map with the hoe has been recognized by every age and nation as a fundamental source of prosperity, and while our literature abounds with encomiums in his behalf, the half has never been told. But the man with the dough is equally as impartant at this period of our growth and development as the man with the hoe. Attemps have been made to discredit him, but when it comes to building factories and railroads aud large industrial enterprises which are necessary to oar prosperity, we must face the man with the money and our destinies as a nation of influence aud power are largely in his hands. It takes the man with the hoe and the man with the dough combined to make civilization, and one is inter-dependent upon the other. , Fresh air is so cheap that we all ought to be able to get it. Course for Housekeepers There will be offered at Michigan Agricultural College beginning January 4th, an eight weeks course for women designated as the Housekeepers Course. This course was offered for the first time last winter and the attendance was very gratifying. The work is intensely practical and helpful and is given at the same time as the short course in agriculture for men. The work offered will include cooking, sewing, vegetable and landscape gardening, poultry and subjects bearing directly upon the home, such as home decoration, sanitation, aursing and reading. This course will be one of great value to the housekeepers of Michigan and will furnish those whose husbands decide to take one of courses in agriculture, an opportunity to attend college at the same tine. The minimum age limit is placed at 21 years, except in the case of married women. This has been uiatle necessary because of the fact that these women will be placed in the private homes of E. Lansing and it will be impossible for th6 college authorities to exercise the same supervision as that given to regular women students. Excellent laboratories for cooking and sewing have been fitted up in preparation for the course and with the facilities at hand the work will be most pleasant and profitable. Those contemplating taking the course should write the President, J. L. Snyder, East Lansing for circular giving outline of the course aud full description of the work offered. Application should be made as early as possible so that arrangements may be macle for the accomodation of all who deBire to attend. 1 —r*—>^aajpM«a^f^*HBja*j» • / ^^ Card of Thanks Our sincere gratitude is extended to all friends and neighbors and to the "Este Fideles" class of the M.

IN Conflicting Reports as to Condition of Kaiser Wilhelm, Who is Admitted Jo Be Indisposed—Reports as to Nature of Illness Vary—Latest News From the Front, East and West i .. < London, Dec. 12.—Berlin is ready to concede the loss of the Dresden, the sole remaining unit of the German squadron destroyed by .Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee off the Falkland islands in the South Atlantic Tuesday. The imperial press bureau, from which emanates all official information given for publication, in a statement Issued apparently before the destruction of the Nuernberg became known there, says, after recording the sinking of the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig and the escape of the Nuernberg and Dresden in the main engagement: "In view or the superiority of the enemy's fleet, which consists particularly of big, fast, well-armed ships, there seems little chance that our two cruisers can long evade pursuit. We must therefore alBo reckon with the loss of both these ships." Revised reports of the casualties on the British ships during the engagement showed seven men had been [killed and four wounded. No casualties were reported among the officers. The Buenos Aires dispatch quotes private German sources as admitting that the German losses would reach 3,000. Report Other German Losses. A dispatch from Coronel via Valparaiso says a merchant ship that arrived at Conception last night reported it had intercepted a wireless message stating that the German transport Fiinz Eltel Frledrich has been sunk by a Japanese warship. It Us reported she had 1,600 German marines aboard. The German armored cruiser Friedrich Karl Is reported to have been 'sunk in the Baltic sea by a mine and Jnosl of her crew drowned, accord- -inj^Jo an official statement Issued by the French ministry of marine today. The Frledrich Karl carried 557 officers and men. Nuernberg Also 8unk. London, Dec. 11.—Admiral Sturdee reports the sinking of the German cruiser Nuernberg, fourth to be accounted for of Admiral Graf von Spee's squadron, defeated off Falkland Islands. Another report Is that the cruiser Dresden, fifth of Von Spee's fleet has been Bent down. 8hlps In British Fleet Montevideo, Dec. 11.—The British fleet that attacked and sank four vessels of the German fleet commanded by Admiral Graf von Spee in an engagement off the Falkland islands Tuesday Is reported here to have numbered nine warships, two of which were dreadnaughts, thought to be the Lion and the Indefatigable. Von Spee's Misfortune. London, Dec. 10.—The British navy has squared the account with Admiral von Spee. In the most terrific naval engagement in point of guns and ton* nage yet fought In the war, Vice-Admlral Sir Frederick C. D. Sturdee's cruiser squadron engaged the German squadron of Von Spee, sunk Its flagship, the armored cruiser Scharnhorst of 11,240 tons, its sister ship, the Gneisenau, and the light cruiser Lelpslg of M00 tons. - The light cruisers Nuernberg and Dresden escaped and were pursued by the victorious British fleet Two colliers attached to the German fleet were captured. Believe Von Spee Sank, The official statement of the admiralty, issued by the press bureau, My some survivors of the Gneisenau and Leipsig were rescued, but no mention is made of any survivors of the ftsgsbip Scharnhorst and it is bc- 3l#y*d Admiral you Spee went down w*fc his ship* '--•wk* complements of the Scharn- JMJieVftttd the Gneisenau were 764 men * andtbetoftheLetpsig30S.

The nervous breakdown which the emperor has suffered is severe, and diplomatists here do not believe, as is stated in the official German bulletins, that the kaiser Is only slightly ill. Physicians here say it is likely that inflammation of the lungs has set in. Dispatches received via The Hague say the kaiser was permitted to sit up and confer with the imperial chancellor for a few hours today. Paris reports that the crown prince has been summoned to his imperial father's bedside from the battlefields of Belgium. Reports of the nature of the emperor's illness still vary, though all agree that it is of a bronchial nature. Berlin has denied officially that he is suffering from pneumonia, a dispatch received via Amsterdam today saying that ne has catarrh of the throat, which has somewhat subsided in severity. English experts profess to believe that the kaiser has been ill ever since the war started.

The Russians have since advanced, in some places pursuing the columns of the.enemy, which are in disorderly retreat "The Germans delivered various at* tacks on the Russians at Lowicz and were repulsed with enormous losses, the Russians gallantly turning back seven assaults. * "During a successful advance south of Cracow, in spite of stubborn resistance, the Russians captured several German heavy guns and maxims and took 2,000 prisoners." Statement From Berlin. Berlin, Dec. 11 (wireless via Sayville).— The latest report from the fighting around Lodz shows the Russian resistance there is by no means broken. The new Russian positions on the Miazga are only some twelve or thirteen miles eastward from Lodz, demonstrating that much is yet to be done before the Russians can be considered definitely defeated. In these circumstances the battles In the vicinity of Lowicz gain added significance. If the Germans succeed in breaking through here the positions of the Russians behind the Miazga will be untenable. Germans 8torm Prtizasnyer. A German column advancing on the right bank of the Vistula stormed Prsasnysz and captured 600 Russians and some machine guns. On the left bank of the river the attack is continuing.

If this is accurate it Is expected the German positions nearer the coast will prove untenable. The Germans are still working on their coast positions In the region of Zeebrugge, where they have mounted guns with which they hope to be able more effectively to reply to fire from the British ships, Germans Attack at Ypres, London, Dec 13.—Attacks of unprecedented ferocity were directed by the Germans against the allies' fines In the region of Ypres today.

Panama—Col. George W. Goethals, governor of the canal zone, was impelled to suggest to the government at Washington that two swift American torpedo boat destroyers be sta- 3oned at the Panama canal, one at each end, by the recent activity of belligerent warshipB and colliers In the vicinity of that Isthmian waterway.^ The action of the Australian collier 'Mallina, which left Balboa without clearance papers, and the fact that this and other colliers have shown a disposition to disregard the canal zone shipping laws actuated Col. Qoethals to take a decisive measure to preserve in every way the neutrality of the canal. Nearly all the colliers which have gathered in canal waters arrived without health certificates and in several instances the ships sailed without clearance papers. It is presumed that the steamers met and coaled the Austrians and English fleet which concentrated recently in the vicinity of the Pearl islands, which lis 60 miles southeast of Panama city. The United States torpedo boat destroyers requested by the governor are expected to do patrol duty and to promptly overhaul any belligerent craft attempting to disregard the canal regulations. Alleged violations of the canal shipping laws have, it is said, been the subject of complaint to Sir Claude C. Mallett, British minister to Panama, and also have resulted in causing orders to be given the fortifications to prevent unneutral colliers remaining in ports on the canal zone In disregard of the orders of the canal authorities.

CHAPTER I. The House of Mystery. A high md narrow gate of carefully Joined boards, standing ajar in a fence of the same construction! What is there in this to rouse a whole neighborhood and collect before it a croup of eager, anxious, hesitating people? This is Judge eetrender's place* and ^anyone who knows Shelby or the gossip of its suburbs knows that this bouse of his has not opened its doors to any outsider, man or woman, for over a dosen years; nor have his gates <been seen In all that time to gape at anyone's instance or to Stand unclosed to public intrusion. .The seclusion •ought was absolute." The sen and women who passed and repassed this corner many times a day were as ignorant as the townspeople in general of what lay behind the gray, monotonous exterior of the weatherbeatea boards they so frequently brushed against [The house was there, of course—they jail knew the house, or did once but (there were Tumors of another fence, a iaecond barrier, standing a few feet inmust have provoked response had the young man had any response to giro.

What has made him thus suddenly careless, he who has never been careless before? Honey? A bribe from the woman who had entered there? j What else was there to believe?

Judge Ostrander was a rocluse of the most uncompromising type; but he was such for only half his time. From ten in the morning till live In the afternoon, he came and went like any other cltlsen, fulfilling his judicial duties with the same scrupulous care as formerly and with more- affability. Indeed, he showed at times, and often when it was least expected, a mellowness of temper quite foreign to him in his early days. The admiration awakened by his fine appearance on the bench was never marred now by those quick and rasping tones of an easily disturbed temper which had given edge to his invective when he stood as pleader in the very court where he now presided as judge. But away from the bench, once quit of the courthouse and the town, the man who attempted to accost him on his way to his carriage or sought to waylay him at his own gate had need of all his courage to sustain the rebuff his presumption incurred. The son, a man of great ability who was making his way as a journalist m give of his father's peculiarities. Though he never came to Shelby—the rupture between the two, if rupture it were, seeming to be completethere were many who had visited him la his own place of business and pat such questions concerning the judge and his eccentric manner of living* ••} much further than a timid and heelwould not leave for court till his return— he had never, in all the eight years she had been sitting in that window making buttonholes, shown any hesitation in his methodical relocking of the gate and subsequent quick departure. But this morning he had lingered in the gateway peering to right and left in a way so unlike himself that the moment he was out of sight she could not help running down thev lane to see if hef suspicions were correct And they were. Not only had he left the gate unlocked, but he had done so purposely. She had about decided that It was only proper for her to enter and make sure that all was right with the judge when she saw a woman looking at her from the road—a woman all in purple even to the veil which hid her features. A little child was with her, and the two must have stepped into the road from behind some of the bushes, as neither of them were anywhere in sight when she herself came running down from the corner. It was enough to startle anyone, especially as the woman did not speak* but just stood silent and watching her through a veil the like of which was not to be found In Shelby, and which in itself was enough to rouse a decent woman's suspicions. She was so(amased at this that aha stepped back and attempted to address the stranger. But before she bad got They Buret Through the tsoond Qata. direction, bat left the saw of earV catty unsatisfied. And unsatisfied It had 'remained ap to this hour, when through aeddent— or was It treachery—the barrier to knowledge was down and the Question of years seemed at teat upon the point of being answered.

"And she''s in there still r "I haven't seen her come out" "Then what's the matter with you?" called a burly, high-strung woman, stepping hastily from the group and laying her hand upon the gate still standing temptingly ajar. 'It's no time for nonsense," she announced, as she pushed it open and stepped promptly in, followed by the motley group of men and women who, If they lacked courage to lead, certainly showed willingness to follow. One glance and they felt their courage rewarded. Rumor, which so often deceives, proved Itself correct in this case. A second gate confronted them exactly like the first, even to the point of being held open by a pebble placed against the post Aad a second fence, also! bunt upon the same pattern aa the one they bad just passed through; the two forming a double barrier aa mysterious to contemplate in fact as It had ever been In fancy.

"Look at this!" she whispered, pushing the curtain inward with a quick movement. Sunshine! A stream of it, dazzling them almost to blindness and sending them, one and all, pellmell back upon each other! However dismal the approach, here all was in brilliant light with every evidence, before them of busy life. The room was not only filled, but crammed, with furniture. This was the first thing they noticed; then, as their blinking eyes became accustomed to the glare and to the unexpected confusion of tables and chairs and screens and standing receptacles for books and pamphlets and boxes labeled and padlocked, they beheld something else. The judge was there, but In what a condition. From the end of the forty-foot room his seated figure confronted them, silent staring and unmoving. With clenched fingers gripping the arms of hie great chair and head held forward, he looked like one frosen at the moment of doom, such the expression of features usually so noble, and now almost unrecognisable were it not for the snow white of his locks and his unmistakable brow. Frosen! Not an eyelash quivered, nor was there any perceptible movement in his sturdy chest His eyes were on their eyes, but he saw no one; and down upon his head and over his whole form the sunshine poured from a large window let into the celling directly above him* lighting', up the strained and unnatural aspect of his remarkable countenance end bringing into sharp prominence the commonplace objects cluttering the table at his elbow. Inarticulate murmurs swelled and ebbed, now louder, now more faintly as the crowd surged forward or drew back, appalled by that moveless, breathless, awe-compelling figure. A breathless moment; then the horrified murmur rose here, there and everywhere: "He's dead! He's dead!" When quietly and convincingly a bluff masculine voice spoke from the doorway behind them: "You needn't be frightened. In an hour or a half-hour he will be the same as ever. My aunt has such attacks. They call it catalepsy." Imperceptibly the crowd dwindled; the most discreet among them quite content to leave the house; a few, and these the most thoughtful, devoted all their energies to a serious quest for the woman and child whom they continued to. believe to be in hiding somewhere inside the walls she had so audaciously entered. The small party decided to start their search by a hasty inspection of the front hall, when a shout and scramble in the passages beyond cut short their intent and held them panting and eager, each to bis place. Frightened, they drew their gasa from tho rigid figure in the chair, and, with bated breaths and rapidly paling cheeks, listened to the distant murmur on the far-off road. What was it? They could not guess, and It was with unbounded relief they pressed forward to greet the shadowy form of a youag girt hurrying toward them from the rear, with news In her face. She spoke quickly. "The woman Is gone. , Harry Donne saw her sliding out behind us just after we came in. She was 'hiding in some of the corners here and slipped out by the kitchen way when we were not looking. He has gone to see—" Breathlessly Miss Weeks cut the girl's story abort; breathlessly she rushed to the nearest window, and, helped by willing hands, succeeded in forcing It up and tearing a hole In the vines, through which they one and all looked out in eager excitement A motley throng of people were crowding in through the double gateway. Some one was in their grasp. It was Bela! Bela, the giant! Bela, the terror of the town, no longer a terror but a struggling, half-fainting figure, fighting to free himself and get In advance, despite some awful hurt whleh blanched his coal-black features and made his great limbs falter, while still keeping his own aad making his way, by shear force of will, up the path aad the two stops of entrance— his body alternately staking back of ptongiag forward aa those ia taw rear MANITOBA'S AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT PROVINCE DURING THE PA8T FEW YEARS. The past year has shown that the Province of Manitoba, the Premier Province of Western Canada, stands out prominently in point of wealth in her agricultural productions. Manitoba had an excellent yield of wheat in 1914. the oat crop was not so good, and with the high price received, every far aer was placed in a good financial position. For some years, as is probably the case in all. new countries, Manitoba went largely Into the growing of grain, and while this paid well for a time, it was found that having to purchase his meat, his milk and a number of other daily requisites, the farm did not pay as it should. Now, there is another side to it. Fodder crops are grown, cattle are being raised, cheese factories and creameries are established, and the result is that the financial position of the farmers of Manitoba is as strong as that of those in any other portion of the continent. Scarcely a farmer today but has realized that the growing of grains alone has a precarious side, and that positive security can only be assured by diversified farming, and securing the latest modern and most economic methods. Therefore timothy, clover, alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are universally grown. Most wonderful success meets the efforts of the farmers in the cultivation of these grasses, and the yields compare favorably with thoee of many older countries, while in many cases they exceed them. It is worth while recording the acreage of these crops this season as compared with last, because the figures reflect the remarkable progress that Is befng made in dairying and in the beef and pork industry. In 1913 brome grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on 118,712 acres, clover on 5,328 acres, alfalfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on 20,223 acres. In 1914 the respective acreage under those crops were 25,444 acres, 27,100 acres, 165,990 acres, 7,212 acres, and 10,250 acres and 30,430 acres. Alfalfa particularly is coming into its own, the acreage having been more than doubled last year. It Is simply the natural process of evolution from the purely grain farm* ing which Manitoba knew as the only method twenty years ago to the more diversified forms of agriculture that is responsible for the development along these other lines in this Province. Alberta is coming to it at an earlier stage than did Manitoba. Saskatchewan, too, is following rapidly in the same direction. Then, as her fodder crop and root crop acreage Indicate, there have been increases in the holdings of all kinds of live stock during the past twelve months, according to the correspondent for the Toronto Globe.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, December 10, 1914 • & > , .••••• BEST WAY TO PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE &^S&^&:i>^ ANAPP THE best and easiest way to put up a Christmas tree has never been patented or published—in fact, it is so simple that it could not be patented. Having failed one Christmas eve to provide a suitable foot or base for tbe family tree, necessity compelled me to invent one, because the two youngest members of the family would not hear of Christmas without a tree. - So I sawed the butt of the tree square, then trimmed off a few of the lowest branches and set the tree in a good sized stone Jar. The jar was then filled with stones, pebbles, pieces of brick and coal. All this material was packed down firmly and the position of the tree so adjusted that it stood per fectly straight. When the tree was in position little Gretel had a happy thought "Let us give the tree some water," she said, "just as if it were a big flower." And we filled the jar with water. Then we covered the stones with bits of silver tinsel and artificial snow, and now our tree looked as if it was actually growing in a big jar. From time to time, as the water was drawn up by the tree, we refilled the jar, and the result was that we kept our tree green and fresh for. a. month. Since that year our Christmas tree is always put up in that way, and we can keep it as long as we wish. A tin pail, a tub or any deep vessel can be used to take the place of the stone jar, and pieces of coal or coke can be used instead of stones to bold the tre<- in place. t|i4i>jnjiiti*}i»t»»t<'|'>l"'lH't"<,<"l"t'^>t"t>'>">,4',3H$t*^^ Because It's Chris'mus | »+>h <> <•» * i >X> * * * < • • ' > • >t"M"H«4"M"fr ES' because it's Chris'mus I go smilin' on my way, An* jes' because"tf s Chris'mus I am kindly-like an' gay.

Women fill plates with wheat, which are well watered and then put in the sunshine or in warm ashes to germinate. If S t Barbara's grain grows well or ill so will the coming harvest be. Later comes the cutting of the Yule log. Tho oldest man of the family cuts a fridt bearing tree—almond, apple, oak or pear. The grandfather uses the ax, and then the son finishes the work. The log is five feet long and is expected to burn, if covered all night, from Christmas eve to New Year's day. Before the eating of the great supper the youngest members of the family light the log. The little gayly painted "creche" and other small, inexpensive clay figures are found in every home. Before dark Christmas eve the children go out to look for the magi. They carry with them confectionery for the mngi, figs for the servants and hay for the tired camels. They also put up sheaves for tho birds, and the wealthy send out donkeys laden with bread, meat, figs and almonds, which arc sold for a few cents fo the poor. The nougat pie or pudding of almonds and honey is on the table for the great supper. G E T A L L T H E F U N Y O U C A N v O U T O F C H R I S T M A S .

And yon can make tee tor the home tree that will be •very whit aa good aa one bought A grocery box and a few box boards, •fine cloth oorering material, a hammer and * saw, are all tha:> required In making the tree base ahown in rig.L An oblong box 10 lnehea deep, 22 inches wide and 26 inches lonb' was u*3d for this base. Fig. 2 shows the first step in its construction—the forming of a pocket in the bottom of the box to receive the end of the tree. Thie is made with two pair of boards nailed together crosswise as in Fig. 3. Any boards of narrow widths will do. Cut pair A exactly as long as the inside width of tho box, and pair D exactly as long as the inside length of the box. For the end of a tree of medium size, the pocket Bhould measure two and one-half or three inches square. This means that the strips should be placed two and on>b :£ or three Inches apart. If the pocket proves to be a bit too large, the end of tha tree can be wrapped with a strip of cloth or paper to make it fit tight This pocket frame does not require fastening to the box if it is made to fit snugly. The bottom pocket holds the end of the tree in position. A similar pocket in the top of the box is necessary to keep the tree from toppling over, and this is made by fastening one pair of boards between the sides of the box even with the top edge (C, Fig. 4), then crossing them with a pair nailed to the top of the box (D, Fig. 5). The base can now be completed by oorering it neatly with cloth, but it win have a much more attractive appearance if you slant the sides as they i#«&&; ['A* *£•.:• ;>••••• < • : ' • *£.'. .#•:".

HOMK-MAOI TRIMMING* FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRIE. It ia lota of fun trimming tho Christ* mas tree with home-made ornaments, much more fun than with tho kind yon buy in stores, and planning and making tree ornaments that will bo both novel and attractive provides Interesting work for several days. In the illustrations below are shown several clever forma of ornaments that are easily made. The tip of the tree should be crowned with a single ornament, and a double five-pointed star made after the fashion of that shown in Fig. 1 is most appropriate. The double star U prepared in two pieces out from a cardboard box (Figs 2 and 8). Mark them out alike with ruler and pencil, making the distance between opposite points 5 inches. Cut them with a knife or scissors. Each star must be slashed so one will fit over the other. Slash one as shown in Fig. 2, from point A down to B, which is one-half of the distance from A to C; and slash the other as shown in Fig. a, from C up to B. You will see that by now crossing the pair of stars, and slipping the slash made in each over the uncut portion of the other, the star ornament will be put together to look like the one In Fig. t The cardboard must be covered with tinfoil to make it nice and shiny, but before putting this covering on, cut two slender sticks for a support, fasten TO SANTA CLAUS Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Are you truly true?

When fastening tho star to tho tree, run tho ends of the sticks far enough below the tree top to enable you to bind them securely in position. The four lower points of tho stars serve excellently for attaching tho tipper ends of tho ornamental chains to, that go to make up a largo portion of tho trimmings of a tree.

On the ends of the trot lines he fastens small bells. When they ring during his work hours or in the night he steps down to the river and pulls In the fish.

The deeply religious sentiment if the country makes the religious ob« flervance of the festival Its dominant feature. The humblest habitation wears an air of cheerfulness when decorated tflth holly and ivy, from which the red berries which grow on the holly Jieep out in great profusion. In the Catholic churches in the larger cities and iu many of the smaller Jjjaces as well masses are celebrated Itourly from midnight on Christmas eve, thousands flocking first to the midnight mass and later to those that follow. Even in the penal days, when It jfteant death for a clergyman to perform the holy sacrifice or for those $ h o assisted at it to be caught in attendance, the midnight mass was never abandoned. When the churches were destroyed by Cfoinwel! and Elizabeth the priest took refuge beneath some protecting rock, and with scouts among the flock ^jirown out to £uard against surprise by the soldiery the mass jvas offered 4jp as it had been in the earlier days "Si Ireland's religious glory. Today, happily, there is no such ban on the religious faith of the people, find the throngs who then flocked to the glen or the mountain side to assist Jn the holy sacrifice can attend their religious services in comfortable churches Everywhere throughout the land. On Christmas morning, especially in $be rural portions of Ireland, the peo- Z}}e flock to the morning masses, often traveling eight and ,ten miles from their homes in the remote hills and Tftileys of their respective parishes. S h e goose hangs high in Ireland on Christmas day, and no family Is too* feoor not to provide the delicious bird. On Christmas night the waxed bless- ¾candle is lighted in honor of Christ's tivity, and music and good cheer of «^ery kind are enjoyed everywhere. The day following* Christmas, S t §tepben's day, is also regarded as practically a holiday. It is mostly availed <fr by the young people, especially the >ys, for fun and frolic of every dejrlption.

Speare, Pinckney Grand Trunk Time Table Anna Katharine Green. for some years, was an actor in the company of Booth and other tragedians. The author made her first well-sustained literary reputation with "The Leavenworth Case/' which still stands pre-eminently among the world's big detective stories. It was staged and added new emphasis to the dramatic qualities of the author's rare storytelling ability. More than thirty publications followed, and now, after all these years of steady writing, comes "Dark Hollow," the new serial we are about to publish, every bit aa baffling and exciting as were the first fruits of her tireless pen. It is a capital and engrossing mystery tale, with a new depth and seriousness that carries with it a truth that only could, be felt by one whose keen observation had been measured by life valueB.

Today it U confined to Queen's college, Oxford, and one or two baronial houses. The reason for the custom surviving nt Queen's is. according to tradition, on account of a valorous deed performed centuries ago by a Queen's scholar. He was walking iti the tields study lug his Aristotle when a wild boar rushed at him open mouthed. With great presence of mind the student crammed the book down the animal's throat, and it was thus choked to death with philosophy; hence the survival of the boar's head at the college of which this bold scholar was a member. No titter setting for a ceremony that links up the twentieth century with the past could be provided than the cloisters and dining halt of Queen's college. Queen's, wuone foundation dates back to HMO. was the college of the Black Prince, Henry V., Cardinal Behufort, Addison, Wycherley and many other famous men. The procession of the boar's head is formed up at the buttery. At its head walks the soloist, a former scholar of tfie college. Next comes the boar's bend. This is borne on a silver salver upon the shoulders of two stalwart servitors. The great head presents a Quaint nnd handsome appearance, being surmounted by a glittering and bejeweled crown and decked with frills of gilded bay and rosemary. Between the tusks is placed a golden orange. Flags bearing the college arms and devices are fixed In the head* Immediately behind the great* dish comet the college organist wearing the brilliant robes of an Oxford doctor of mask* and followed by his surpUced choir of men aad toys. Ueaswhile the* provost of the colo_ f"tne TairTn the midsFof the"prfnci pal guests, says a Latin grace, after which the dinner call is sounded in the cloisters upon a trumpet. Then wHh stately pomp the procession slowly advances from the bntlery. through the cloisters nnd into the great dining hall, and the soloist sings the proclamation: The boar's head In hand bear 1, Bedecked with bays and rosemary. And I pray you, my masters, be merry Then the choir sings in harmonious chorus the curious old Latin carol: Quot *on<s In convlvio. Caput aprl defero, Reddens laudes Domino. By the time the carol Is finished tht> procession lias reached the dais, and the boar's head is deposited on the high table. Then the provost, or. in bis absence, the senior officlnl of the college who is present, removes the flags, which are used year after year and are of considerable antiquity, and presents to each of the principal guests n portion of the gilded evergreens. The remainder is eagerly scrambled for by the other guests. After this prelude the dinner is served as ordinarily .save that the most valuable and antique silver plate and pew ter are used, special sauces are served with the meats, and borne brewed ule and queen's own special beer, a liquor of greM;*potency, are served, in the valuable old tankards. ' A Bold Monarch. Charles IX. of France was bold enough to interfere, with the nttlre of the women of his realm. In 150! he forbade the ladies to use any "bunds of enibrolde.rj' stttchings or fixings of silk, excepting only a bordering the width of a finger or at the most two bordering* with chain stitobings." - X Keeps His Word.

Killing Cooking Odors. No odor of cooking should greet the guest in a private home or even an apar. nent which claims to be of the exclusive class. A simple and agreeable deodorizer may be made of a handful of cloves, allowed to scorch with bits of orn*nge peel on a tin plate in the oven, says the Kansas City Star. This mixture Imparts a fragrance not unlike that of carnations, and. scattered about the rooms. It wfll completely destroy the odor of cooking vegetables or roasting meats. In the country the wise housewife may gather sweet clover, nnd the sprigs, dried out. will impart a fresh and delicious fragrance to the house linens all next winter. lavender, that standby of oldtlme housekeepers, may be purchased In lltye bags at trifling coat and makes a delightful fragrance for the linen closet—Exchange. The Fourth Officer. "I've been on a bridge of a ship; since 1 was fourteen. I don't knowi how to breathe inside a bouse," nej said. One has to lead some kind of life, and as I sat there thinking it occurred to me that, even if it was poorly paid and a t times lonely, there was something very sane and useful and' good about the life of the fourth officer. In a little while he would look at his watch and exclaim a trifle dievidently, but with an unmistakable resumption of authority: "It's 10 o'clock. You must go now." Then he would almost instantly fall asleep, sleep for fonr hours, spend four more alone with the trackless waters and the southern stars, bathe, breakfast and begin another day with a fit body, clear brain, steady nerves and untroubled eyes,—Flandran's Essays. : : . . i The Pest of Danger.

And this wise William Constantinople. Constantinople was known as Lygos until 668 B. C. when it blossomed forth into Byzantium and bore that name for close on 800 years. Byzantium, like Rome, was built on seven hills, and this resemblance led Septimus Sere ras to rectiristen it Nova Roma. On making the cifcv the capital of the Roman empire Constantine the Great bestowed his own name upon it, and ever since It has been known as Constantinople in the western world. This name, however.

Christmas trees are furnished princl pally by two families of trees—the spruces and the firs. The spruces are the more bushy looking trees, with numerous small cones near tbe top. I All through northern New England. i northern Michigan. Wisconsin and Miuj nesota the spruces form vast forests fcest bargains fq OUR4HT PURSES The black spruce grows in swamps. ' where few other trees can live, while i the white spruce competes with the ; noble pines for higher and better soil. ', Every year millions of young spruces i are cut in the northern forests and i shipped to the cities and prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsmen can ! find a stand of young firs they take them also. The firs look more refined ! and less bushy, and their green leaves J often stand away from tbe slender : branches like the teeth of a comb. While the use of Christmas trees has come to us from Germany, the custom • of decorating our houses with holly and : mistletoe originated in England. Hotly. The home of our American holly is In the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains. In the north it Is a small evergreen shrub, but in the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty feet high. With its glossy green ; leaves and bright scarlet berries the holly is an object of beauty in its na- ! tive woods as well as in our fashion- I able flats and churches. The hand ot ; man has never cultivated this beauti- I ful shrub, at least not on a commer- ; cial scale, but the wild birds are attracted by its bright berries. They eat the scanty pulp and scatter the seeds I far and wide. While some species of holly grow as far south as Texas and 1 westward into Missouri and Arkansas. ! the great forests of Michigan, Wisconj sin and Minnesota contain not a sin- \ gle species of these beautiful p.hrubs. Mistletoe. A queer kind of plant is the inlstle I toe. If one saw it for the first time h<- • might mistake it for the common i witch's broom \\Miich is familiar to e\ I ery northert woodsiunn. In reality j the mistletoe is a parasite which grows J and lives on other trees, such as maple, poplar and tupelo. Its white fruit is eaten by birds, and the small seeds are accidentally dropped on the braIK tiles of trees. The seeds adhere to the I bark, and if they happen to have been I planted on the right kind of host they , germinate and send a kind of sucker ' like growth into the bark and wood ! of their host, and a new mistletoe i plant begins its life and grows nt the expense of its host, from which it de- ! rives nearly all Its nourishment. Our j Christmas mistletoe is restricted to the < middle and southern states! growing from New Jersey to Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas, but is not found in the northern states Several species of mistletoe, however, do occur in our .western forest*. Christmas Greens. The most humble plant of this happy season Is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground pines It is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. like these, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails and twines anions the roots of the stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, afv filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Pew of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts In winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take om> summer outins to the northern woods and to tbe mountains.

Whether you take advantage of it or not, it is one that merits your best consideration* for it not only offers you an opportunity to save a substantial sum of money, but provides- you with eleanv wholesome reading. And, this offer is of special interest at this time because of the long winter months that are now with us. This is the time of the year when, the days are short and the nights are long. They give our friends plenty of time to read, to gather about the fireside in the evening and discuss those topics which are of mutual interest in every household—the war, politics, women's interests, business conditions, winter sports and the thousand and one things that come up in the course of an evening at home. The offer will not last forever. In fact, it is limited to a short time only and urge you to take advantage of it at once.

Christmas trees are furnished principally by two families of trees—the spruces and the firs. The spruces are the more bushy looking trees, with , numerous small cones near the top. i All through northern New England. '. northern Michigan. Wisconsin and Mlnj neaota the spruces form vast forests The black spruce grows in swamps, where few other trees can live, while 1 the white spruce competes with the ; noble pines for higher and better soil. , Every year millions of young spruces ! are cut in the northern forests and ! shipped to the cities and prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsuien cat: ! find n stand of young firs they take , them also. The firs look more refined ! and less bushy, and their green leaves ; often stand away from the slender \ branches like the teeth of a comb. While the use of Christmas trees has come to us from Germany, the custom of decorating our houses with holly and mistletoe originated in England. Holly. The home of our American holly is in the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains. In the north it Is a small evergreen shrub, but In the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty feet high. With its glossy green leaves and bright scarlet berries the holly is an object of beauty in its na- ' tive woods as well as in our fashion- ; able flats and churches. The hand ot man has never cultivated this beauti- : ful shrub, a t least not on a commer- \ cial scale, but the wild birds are attracted by its bright berries. They eat the scanty pulp and scatter the seeds j far and wide. While some species of holly grow as far south as Texas and westward into Missouri and Arkansas, the great forests of Michigan, Wiscon- ; sin and Minnesota contain not a sin- \ gle species of these beautiful shrubs. Mistletoe. A queer kind of plant is the misUe I toe. If one saw it for the first time IK might mistake it for the common witch's broom which is familiar to e\ ! ery northern woodsman, In reality i the mistletoe is a parasite which grows • and lives on other trees, such as maple, poplar and tupeio. Its white fiuli lis eaten by birds, and the small seeds i are accidentally dropped on the branch- ! es of trees. The seeds adhere to the ! bark, and If they happen to have been 1 planted on tlio right kind of host they , germinate and send a kind of sucker like growth into the bark and wood 1 of their host, and a new mistletoe i plant begins Us life and grows at the • expense of its host, from which it de- ' rives nearly all its nourishment. Our • Christmas mistletoe is restricted to the middle and southern 'states* growing from New Jersey to Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas, but is not found in the northern states Several species of mistletoe, however. do occur in our .western forests. Christmas Greens. The most humble plant of this happy season is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground pines. It { is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. like these, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails and twines amon^ the roots of the stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, arV filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Few of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts in winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take our summer outing to the northern woods and to the mountains. best bargain? fq OLIDAff PURSES Iff ill Iff Jtt Iff Ul Iff * Ik Iff iff Iff iIlffl Iff Iff •Iff § Iff HI ill A Few Suggestions: W A T C H E S Ladies Open Face and Hunting from $6.00 up.

Paris, Dec. 5.—General Joffre has given the order for an offensive movement along the entire battle line in France and Belgium to drive the Germans from France, Flanders and Alsace. Re-enforced by 400,000 British and many French troops, his army now equals in numbers that of the Germans. Kaiser Returne to Berlin. London, Dec. 5.—The return of the kaiser to Berlin is regarded here as a sore indication that German expectations of an early success in Poland have been effectually blocked. The kaiser, who will make only a brief stop in the capital, has been on the eastern battle front for nearly a week, and it is assumed he would have remained to witness the victory of his troops had one been in near prospect The tremendous conflict in Poland continues to hold the Interest to the practical exclusion of the other arenas of war. In fact all the other military operations apparently are hinged on the outcome of the titanic struggle between the Russians and the Austro- Gertnan armies. Conflicting reports continue to come from Petrograd and Berlin regarding the fighting, but through them one fact looms. The battle of Lode has ended and with all the signs pointing to at least a tactical victory for Grand Duke Nicholas. Germans Lose 100,000. The Bourse Gazette of Petrograd has received a dispatch from a correspondent with the Russian army that the battle of Lodz has ended in victory for the Russians. He asserts that great numbers of German prisoners and many cannon and machine guns are being brought to Lodz. Petrograd newspapers publish the statement that the Germans lost 100,- 000 men in fighting their way out of the trap set for them at Lode and have been unable to renew the offensive on account of terrible losses and exhaustion. Lacking the confirmation of the Russian general staff, there is a disposition here to accept these reports with reserve, particularly since the latest Russian - official announcement admits that the Germans have been heavily re-enforced from Silesia and are forcing the fighting in some areas. Three Miles From Cracow. Without doubt the Russians have been vigorous in front of Cracow, and the news indicates that the five forts are being shelled. If the czar's troops are numerous enough Cracow can be masked as the Germans masked Mauibeuge and they can pass the fortress Into southeastern Silesia, ; Nine miles southwest of Cracow and 'three miles from the line of forts lies [the small town of Wlelcska, which is jbuilt over a fantastic underground city of salt mines. A short railway bears the produce of the mines to Cracow. The Russian soldiers of General Dimitrieffs conquering army have reached this town and are now preparing for a siege of the last Galiclan fortress. Germans Lose Heavily. The Russian official report indicates that there is little hope of a relief for Cracow from the south, since the Russians have passed through the Dukia pass into Hungary and the Austrians in Galicia have been scattered and driven back, through the mountains. Assert German Success^ . Berlin (wireless via Sayville), Dec 3—General headquarters reports the following facts about-the German sue- ' cesses near Cods: The Germans were serious]? threat* ened In the rear by stron^Raseian forces advancing from the-east and south. The German troops faced about and succeeded in cutting their way through the Russian ring. ^ In three days of fortius fighting, they captured 12,400 Russian prisoners and J9 guns, without losing a single gun ef their own. .. , Nearly rail' 'the German' wounded have been brought home.

All the German columns north of Lode are falling back toward the frontier. At midnight and in the early morning hours of today the Germans north of Lods in massed .columns made a succession of most furious onslautftts against the Russian position. This was their final attempt The military commentator of the Russkl invalid ascribes the failure of von Hindenburs/s effort in Poland, which was Intended to culminate In a determined outflanking of the Russian position, tc the fact that .ts preparation was too visible and Its execution too slow. Hence from the early stages of the fighting, the Germans had to use ill their energies to parrying counter-maneuvers by the Russians, who had seised the general initiative. Ruse Surround Besiegers. Writing of the campaign around Lodz, the Moscow correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "Lodz, the most important industrial town in Russian Poland, has been closely besieged, the Germans inclosing it from the north, east and south. The Russian army was as in a sack, but rallied with great power, resolution and heroisnr in order merely'not to escape from the difficult position, but to rout the enemy. ""*"" "At the moment when one portion of the Russian army was resisting most violent attacks of the Germans upon the city, other troops were turning their right flank, while a third portion, after a circular march, struck a blow at the rear of the enemy. Thus the Germans, who had endeavored to surround the Russians, found themselves surrounded. "Nevertheless the German army outflanked and pushed to the rear, made supreme efforts to pass by Lods from the east and south. A fight with the bayorfet began. There were skirmishes even in the outskirts of Lods, where barricades had been constructed during lulls in the fighting. Stake All on Lods. Petrograd, Dec. 2.-The Germans, apparently for the time being, have staked the whole fortune of the eastern campaign on the Lodz venture Siberian regiments thrice charged the Rzgoff positions before the Germans evacuated them. In some of the trenches the dead were piled many deep. Shrapnel and machine guns played a comparatively small part in the fighting, which mostly was handto- hand with bayonets and butt end of rifles. In the fighting Siberian Cossacks acquired further glory. No obstacle stops tbem. Where other troops hesitate, the Cossacks burl themselves forward and sweep all before them. The Russians owe the victory at Lodz to the Siberian Cossacks. Engagements In France. London, Dec. 3.—The right wing of the French army defeated the Germans all along its front in several violent engagements along the Moselle river, in the Vosges and In Alsace on Wednesday, according to delayed reports which reached the war office today. The midnight communique from Bordeaux states that this is the only official news the war office has to relate, but unofficial reports, coupled with the afternoon official statement, convey details of furious engagements being fought by vast numbers in Flanders, where the battle of the Yser has been resumed with increased vigor, and north of Arras, where the Germans are making desperate efforts once more to make good their vow to break through to Calais by December 10. The Germans anticipated a concert* ed forward movement by the allies in northern France by making spirited attacks themselves, which so far have met with no success. The attack extended more or less along the whole line, but was concentrated principally to the north of Tpres and on toward Dixmude. In the dark hours before dawn yesterday a large force of the Germans crossed the flooded waters of the Yser by means of big broad rafts. The venture wei a desperate one, but not a man who set out could have been ignorant of the fact that death almost certain was awaiting him. The rafts were punted through the shallow waters in almost dead silence and in utter darkness.' Each carried fifty to .sixty men and some of them were equipped with rapid flrers. In preparation for dawn, a further fleet of rafts drawn by motor boats was watting on the German side of the muddy waters, but the plot was discovered and when daylight arrived the artillery, of the alBes met the advancing Germans with devastating effect Yet, in spite of tbek Jossce, these Germans, brave even to madness, sun assayed the crossing. They ware partly covered by a- heavy cannonading from their field artillery and nntti midday the Germane persisted ts tba LODZ IS TAKEN BY GERMANS IS BERLIN CWM Important Town in Russian Poland Occupied By Kaiser's Troops FOLLOWS THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF ALL HISTORY! Victory Is Considered Important Part ef Campaign to Capture^Warsaw Which Is Thought to Be Next Move. London—Lodz was occupied by the Germans Sunday, after several days of the most terrific and sanguiary fighting of the war, according to an official statement given out in Berlin Sunday. This is considered to give the Germans a great advantage in their third attempt to march on Warsaw, which is about 75 miles east-northeast of the captured city, and is regarded as a part of the German plan to break up the Russian center, which has rested on Lodz, by a forward drive and enveloping movements on both flanks. That these enveloping attempts are being made is indicated in reports of fighting about Piotrkow and How, to the north and south of Lodz, respectively, although the official reports from Berlin and Petrograd have been meager, the former, prior to the announcement of the occupation of Lodz, simply saying that "the battle about Lodz is taking its course as expected/' while Petrograd early Sunday morning stated only that the battle was still in progress. Lodz Is Important City. Lods, a city of 416,604 population, is the chief manufacturing center of Russian Poland. It has numerous textile mills, the majority of them for the manufacture of cotton goods. In addition, it has flour mills, dyeing establishments, brickyards, machinery plants and breweries. On the operations of the next few weeks depend not merely whether or nor Russia is to seize Silesia and go forward to Berlin, but whether or not the Allies in the west are to maintain the offensive. By exertions which dwarf any previous efforts, Germany has repaired her terrible losses between the Warthe and the Vistula, has withdrawn battered armies from the very jaws of the Russian trap, has hurried vast numbers from East Prussia, Posen, Silesia and evens from Belgium and France; has solidified a battle line which stretches from Mlawa on the frontier of Bast Prussia and Poland to Gracow, and is obviously ready and determined to brave the terrors of winter and the superior numbers of the Russians, in a third endeavor to seise Warsaw and the whole Vistula line southward to Sandomlera. From a battle front of 300 miles, in which there are few gaps that are not amply protected by nature, the Germans are poised for the new attack which will certainly produce the most sanguinary and ferocious battles the world has ever known. Rumania May Enter War. Geneva, via London—The Journal de Geneve publishers a dispatch from Bucharest which says that Rumania has definitely decided to entert&e war on the side of the allies. This decision, according to the dispatch, is In accordance with the wish of the entire country including King Ferdinand and all the Rumanian statesmen with the exception of the minister of finance, M. Marghiloman.. The question of when Rumania will make her entry into the conflict Is still being discussed, however, one side desiring to avoid a winter campaign, but the military authorities express the fear that Servia may be defeated before the spring. The attitude of Bulgaria still remains doubtful. Greece, Servia and Rumania have proffered certain con' cessions, which, however, Sofia seems not to consider a sufficient inducement MARKET QOOTATKWS Live Stock, Grain and General Farm Produce.

"pa, sir." The tone was politely •agjftiiiiiilttal. :;•* ,^pw^o you know what a stepmotb at. m, Thomas r - ^ I t o , sir." *-^jbe head master looked surprised. Before he came to Rushington pre* mrthtrr school his world had consisted of cook, James and the housemaids, with rare glimpses of a delightful individual called father. "Well—er—your stepmother is your—er~your father's second wife" "Tea, sir." Again the tone was polite, but. uncomprehending. "That will do, then, Thomas. That was all I wished to say to you. You may go." "Yes, sir." The blue eyes lit up wl(h sudden Interest "Please, sir/' eagerly, "are they nice, sir?" The head master again regarded the youngest boarder over his spectacles. "What, Thomas?" . "Stepmothers, sir." "Er—some are and some are not. Yours probably will be." He thought of the handsome, perfectly mannered gentleman who was Thomas' father, and corrected himself. "Sure to be," he ended. "Yes, sir." Thomas shut the study door after him and wandered off toward the scbfolroom. He had a new possession—a stepmother, but 'he was not quite sure whether it was a creditable one or not In the schoolroom was William with a crowd of boon companions. William was a boy of prestige. He was the tyrant of his form—It was Thomas', too—and he had a fa* ther who had shot a lion. Thomas approached him. . "I've got a stepmother," he announced. The reception of his'news was flattering. William's mouth opened to its fullest extent "What!" he roared. "A stepmother? I ear, you chaps, Thomas gorra stepmother." Thomas was Immediately the center of an admiring crowd of small boys, to whom he solemnly confided his ignorance on the article In question. There was a babble of voices. "Why, they're big, ugly black worn* en." "They beat yon." "They starve you." They lock you up in dark rooms." Thomas received the information stolidly. In the same way he received all subsequent glances of envy or sympathy. 9or Thomas life suddenly changed. All the rest of the term he, was the central figure, the observed of all observers,* William regretfully, but of his own accord, relinquished his position. The head master had patted each Individual head, and shaken each individual hand, and .hoped that each in* dividual pupil would be a good boy during the holidays, and there they were on the platform, waiting for their trains. There were, many parting presents Thomas from pitying, sympathetic boys who were going borne to kind mothers and nurses, instead cruel stepmothers.

"Well, 1 think she's on the lawn. Go and say bow do you do to her." Thomas went out and gaced round. No, there was no stepmother there— only a princess with goldybrown hair, and a soft white dress. "Are you a princes*?" he asked. She turned end looked at him, from hie tousled head down to his little brown knees, and smiled wistfully. "No, I'm not" she said. "Oh!" Thomas seemed to lose all further Interest in her, but he looked anxiously round the lawn. "Where is she?" be asked at last in an eager whisper. -Who?" smiled the lady. "The stepmother." "I'm the stepmother," said the lafly. Thomas turned and surveyed her speechlessly. He gated at her masses of soft rippling hair, her tender, hasel eyes, her delicate oval face. "You!" he,said, incredulously. His disappointment was obvious. The stepmother flushed. "Then—then—you won't beat me, or lock me up, or starve me?" said Thomas in tones of heartfelt regret She laughed tremulously. "No, no—of course not." "They said you would," he said, reproachfully. "How silly of them," she laughed. - "But what 'zactly is a stepmother? They never really told me. I had a real mother once," he said with pride, "but she went to heaven. PYaps," with a sudden inspiration, "you're her come back." "No, no^" she said. y _ She knelt down as near him as she dared, and put oneliand timidly on his little brown knees. "I'm just a stepmother, and we'll be great friends, you and I. We'll have grand times together. And—and welt play here in the garden, and I'll put you to bed and kiss you and—" "But," broke in Thomas, solemnly, "we can't do that if you aren't a real one. William says he'd like'to see any woman kiss him 'cept his mother— and you are'nt a real mother, are you?" The stepmother answered oagerly: "Not a real one, dear, but—" "We can't do it if you aren't a real one," said Thomas, decidedly. There were some new puppies In the stable, and a new horse that James said belonged to the stepmother, and he had tea with James and James' wife in their little- cottage, and every* thing seemed as new and exciting as it always does the first day of holidays. — It was half past seven when he wan* dered into the drawing room. His father was there with the stepmother. "Well, young man," said his father, "this is a fine hour for little boys to be up. High time you were asleep. Gome and say good night" He bent down, and Thomas stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. s "Now go over and say good night to your stepmother." Thomas walked over to her and held out bis hand, politely. "Good night," he said, in his quaint serious way. The man frowned. "Aren't you going to kiss her, Thomas?" he asked. . Thomas turned to him. "I don't think so," be said. T o n see, she's not a real one." Thomas put himself to bed. He always performed the operation alone,, although one or other of the house* maids generally volunteered their services. There was a dull pais at his heart He wanted tome one. Be* wanted some one with soft, fluffy hair and dark eyes, like the stepmother, some one to say good night to and kiss. The stepmother was sitting alone In the drawing room. Thomas' father had just gone into the library to look for a book she wanted. But she was not thinking of Thomas' father—she was thinking of Thomas. She was thinking of his bine eyes, his untidy mop of hair, his little serfone mouth. She would so love to hold him on her knee, to Use hit little bTOwn toget- She wanted to go and look at aim in bed, if only she were sure he was asleep. She, dared not go unless she were certain.

Work May Easily Be Dene at Heme by Anyone Who le at All Handy in Use of the Needle. The evening, drees hanger Is a very dainty affair, and is a bit of work that can be made entirely at borne by anyone who is handy with the needle. The frame is a strong piece of wire bent into a heart shape, ending with a hook at the top, but before bending It Into shape It must be covered. From the book to the point of the heart should be about twelve inches. Four feet of wire will make the heart, exclusive of the hook, which should be of the.wire twisted, seeing a thin wire is used. The covering is of inch-wide pink satin ribbon, two lengths being placed back to back and sewed through twice its entire length to make a casing through which the wire is run. Five yards of ribbon will be necessary, as It Is fulled over the wire, which creates llttl frills on either edge. If wider frills are desired use a wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted with the ribbon and a bow of wider ribbon Is sewed at its base, from which depend strands of pink baby ribbon supporting tiny scent sachets, writes Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The advantage of this improved holder compared with the wooden frame is its lightness. The shoulders do not slip from the hanger; sleeves can be pinned to the ribbon cover should they be of heavy beads; also the dress can be pinned at the belt to the point of the heart should it be necessary. Sometimes a heavy sash or ornament will drag a gown when hung upon the ordinary holder. Speaking of the ordinary holder, I see changes there, too, and, in my opinion, for the better. Tapestry is used for the covering after padding, instead of the daintier ribbons, which quickly soil and look badly. A banger, covered in rich, deep tones of tapestry, will be a Joy forever. The craze for the French gilt has reached the prosaic hangers, and after the tapestry is shirred over the padded wooden frame a border of tiny roses in French gilt Is set all around as a decoration. I see no sense In this. I fancy, too, the gilt might rub the lining of the Holder for Evening Gowns. garment resting upon the hanger and make It wear badly. Of course, the trimming adds much to the beauty of the article, but it does not seem practical. Another change is in the per* fuming and in the way It Is added. Only such odors as lavender, pine, clover and lavender-cedar are used, and these are put Into the wadding covering the frames, not as separate sachets (except in the case of the evening gown holders), which is well, for the little bags were often in the way when the garments were constantly in use, dangling and catching here and there as they will. • • * . • - • •-.-j*- Varied Neck Finishes. There are indications that tall, closefitting stock collars will be part of the winter sartorial scheme, though as yet these tall collars swathe only the back and sides of the throat the front being slashed .down In a V that makes for comfort at least a little while longer. Sometimes a plaited frill stands up from the tall collar at the back, Increasing the effect of height but the decollete bodice and blouse are going out of fashion and rarely does the V at the front—in the newest modelsextend below the throat line. Smart little cravats attached to snap fasteners are made of various materials and m various colors and with several of these little cravats and two smart blouses a number of neck finishes may be effected. WINTER SUIT* Distinctively smart Is this suit of black and white checked wool. Coat fastens with steel buttons st front. Note the graceful lines of the newly draped skirt. COSTUME FOR THE WINTER Of as Much Importance to the Woman of Fashion as Are Those of Summer. For winter sports the girl must be just as smartly equipped as during the summer, days, when she was so Immaculate In white linen and buckskin. The winter girl is a trim figure in her sporting clothes. She wears a short, heavy skirt, preferably of some dark woolen material; a heavy jersey, of white angora, trimmed with huge fur collar, and on her head is a jaunty little hat Some of the newest of these winter sporting hats are made of chamois, a warm and durable material; also adjustable to many different shapes. Often the cap Is in the natural chamois shade, a light yellow, a color particularly becoming to brunettes. Sometimes it Is dyed to match the skirt of the costume, or again, it Js in some brilliant shade, supplying a brilliant touch of color to the whole outfit A new thing in sporting equipment is the fur trimmed jersey. This Is a Parisian idea, which originated in the summer and has been carried on into the winter outfits. Bands of skunk, fox, mink or even sable trim the newest sweaters and often a.huge collar and cuffs of the fur are used instead of bands. 10HETHIM USEFUL FOR X M U Hold M the best Atoms mort mi er j where.

"Right away, there!" shouted the conductor, preparing to wave his green flag. "'Ere, get in, there—get In!" he urged to a passenger who was struggling with a door in the midle of the train.

Blsck Linings Used. It is interesting to note that black satin linings are being Introduced on many of the new tailored models—on almost all the smart coats made of navy cloth or serge, and also on coats in light colors. There Is something very attractive about a black satin lining in a serge suit of the classic order. Such a lining supplies the little mannish touch which makes the suit original and a thing apart from the ready-made costumes which are to be found in the stores. A little while ago everyone, wanted white satin linings; then it became the fashion to have fancy brocade or shot taffeta.

"**r GOWN FOR THE YOUNG LADY Diagram Showing the Insulation of sn Ice House for Storing Ice Without Sawdust or Shavings, In harvesting Ice, very different methods are.required for that which is not over four inches thick and ice torn six to fifteen inches in thickless. The tflln Ice generally will be >roken Into fairly regular cakes, rhlch will be loaded aa best they may nto sleds or wagons and hauled to he storehouse.

It is mora difficult to store and keep loo of this character than that harvested in regular cakes. ( Thin ice is characteristic of the southern Umits of the storage of natural ice. The supply is more or less uncertain and the storage period is long. The irregular form of the cakes makes it difficult to pack the ice so las to prevent air spaces, which may Worm air passages and cause rapid loam. Irregular blocks and cakes are less easily insulated than cakes of uniform sice and thickness. If the mass is stored in a building without packing material about it, insulation must be provided in the construction of the house. The walls must be thick, well packed with mill •havings or dry sawdust, and tightly boarded on both sides of the packing material A space of IS inches between the walls, tightly Pacini *;Ui good in* suiatlng material, is none too much. jAn added safeguard would be to 'double both the outside and Inside [walla, harvesting Ice from six to fifteen In thickness permits the use tools and implements that find no In harvesting thin toe.

In order to obtain cakes square or rectangular In form, a square made from light strips of boards with straight edges may be used. A square with sides twelve to sixteen feet long will serve the purpose nicely.

The shaped outside piece is slightly larger around than the back piece, ^Blowing the pocket part to bulge slightly. The broom bag ir not a broom cover itself, but a pretty holder for such covers and holds six of these made in canton flannel. The case is Floe Ice. Under certain conditions the only practicable way of obtaining a supply of natural ice is to catch it aa it is going out in the spring. When the snow melts and the spring rains come, the ice at the headwaters of streams breaks up and is carried down in large masses, which can be caught at considerable distances from the localities where it was formed. In this way ice can be obtained at small cost. In the early days many plantations along the Potomac harvested an annual supply of ice of this character and stored it for the most part in pits. Those fortunate enough to live near large streams may often obtain their ice supply in this way. Velvet Dresses Considered Most Appropriate— Changes in the Color • of Neckwear. Velvet dresses for young girls are the smart thing of the afternoon wear. They are made with a long waist and a short skirt, made of^two circular flounces; between these is a satin belt or sash. A collar of pique or lace, cut sailor or rounding, is the usual neck finish. The sleeveless over blouses of velvet that are seen on the grown-up dresses are also a feature of those worn by girls'oTifourteen. They are rather like s^middy blouse in shape, but not so tocg, and the arm-hole is very much enlarged, so that the foundation dress of serge shows. Different shaped buttons not only come in plain colors in dark modish shades, brown, plum, blue and fawns, but are also decorated by odd stripes of a contrasting color. Sometimes there is only one stripe across the center, sometimes it is the button edge that has pendllike lines of s deeper or lighter color. The Suit coats are made both in the long and in the short lengths. Some of the smart models are of the redingote type, the coat reaching the three-quar ter length. Some of the lace guimpes are of em broidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finiBh at the top with a round neck that does not come quite up to the base of the throat. Last summer the lovely touch OL white neckwear was In organdie and lawn; now it is of cream net and lace. In the finer costumes, and of pique In those dresses that smack of the tailor made.

Probably never before have artificial flowers had sneh a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower, is one of the best means of giving color to a dark street frock or suit There are bunches of tiny flowers In brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two of green that are good. Then there are zinnias, nasturtiumsv popples and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring.

Simple Routine Will Enable Thin Girl to Secure Results in Three or Four Weeks. The thin girl is coming into her own these days, but there is such a thln& as being too thin. The words of Joseph Cawthorne, "I like 'em plump," set the standard. This plumpness can be obtained by careful effort The first step towards this is to avoid nerves, fretting and irritability, Retire early and remain in bed as long as possible. / Drink no tea or coffee, rather milk, cocoa or chocolate. Take mashed potatoes, with butter or cream, oatmeal, fresh bread, honey, eggs, tapioca; in short, all sugary and oily foods.

Curfew memories are revived by these new official orders for "lights out" in London. There are places where the new decrees will seem less drastic, because the old law of early Norman times is still observed, so far, at least as the ringing of the curfew bell. ' The little surrey village of Chertsey, for instance, still re-echoes to the ringing of curfew at sundown from September 29 to March 25. Londoners, though few of them seem to know it, may hear curfew tolled every nfght at nine o'clock in Lincoln's inn. And Canterbury bells still ring out the curfew as they did centuries ago.— London Chronicle. ,__ Important to Mothers) Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and sec that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 80 Children Cry for Fletcher's Castorin The Remedy.

London, Nov. 27.—The British battleship Bulwark was blown up and, sunk in the estuary of the Medway rirer on Thursday. Between 700 and £00 men were lost, including Capt Guy Belater, her commander, and all her officers. Only 12 of her crew were saved. It is announced officially that the explosion was interior and originated in the ship's magazine. The disaster is the most appalling, with the exception of the loss of the Audacious, the British navy has suffered in the war. The men aboard her had not a fighting chaace for their lives. The vessel was at the bottom in three minutes. Churchill Tells ef Disaster. Announcement of tbe loss of the Bulwark ia {Sheerness harbor was made in the house of commons by Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. Mr. Churchill's official statement follows: 'The battleship Bulwark was lying in the harbor at Sheerness when she was blown up. The disaster occurred at 7:68 o'clock in the morning. The ship was torn absolutely asunder and had entirely disappeared* when the smoke cleared away. It Is the opinion of the admirals at Sheerness that the ship was destroyed by an explosion of the magazine. Only 14 members of the crew were saved. The destruction of the Bulwark will not sensibly affect our military or naval position." , May Have Been Torpedoed. The Bulwark was built in 1899. 8he was 400 feet long and 75 feet in the beam. She was heavily constructed with Krupp armor and carried the following armament: Four 12-inch guns, 12 six-inch guns, 16 three-inch guns and six three-pounders. In addition she carried two machine guns and four 12-inch torpedo tubes. The loss of the Bulwark in a harbor of England caused much depression* Although the official announcement gave no indication of a German submarine attack, it is known submarines are active all along the southern coast of England. British Vessels Sunk. German submarines nave sunk two more British steamships and a German mine has sent to the bottom a British naval collier, according to admission of the British admiralty. The submarine victims were the merchantmen Malachite and Prlmo. They were destroyed In the English channel. Coming on the heels of the appalling disaster which befell the British battleship Bulwark, when it was blown up with the loss of more than 750 officers and men, these new evidences of hostile naval menace at the very gates of London has served to spread con* aternation over England. Churchill Seeks to Allay Pear.

TELL8 OF RU881AN VICTORY, By Granville Forteecue. (Formerly Military Aid to President Roosevelt) Petrograd, Nov. 27.—Disaster once more has overtaken the Germans in Poland. Their second army of invar sion is smashed. Not only has their flank been cuj, but the Russians are, well in the rear of the German army. The battle of Kolusskl Is the crowning victory of the campaign in Poland. What is left of the German army is still being pursued, surrounded by a wall of Russians and in terror of the steel of the Cossacks. The enemy is fighting with the* desperation of despair to regain his own frontier. When the final cost is counted, Kolusskl will be found a greater blow to German hopes than either Lemberg or the San. Cossscks Hound Germans^ The battle of Koluszki is still raging. Straggling Prussian regiments are fighting their way out of swamps and over foothills. Cossacks surround -them like wolves. The weather has turned extremely cold. The Germans are burdened with wounded. The feature of the battle was a charge of Cossacks, like hounds in leash. During the earlier part of tbe campaign they often dashed against the decimating fire of unshaken infantry; at Koluszki they charged like stampeded cattle. Over the Infantry they went, up to the mounts of the heavy guns, cutting down the gunners. Some rode off with these prises, while the rest continued the' pursuit These fierce riders were satisfying the grudge against a certain German general who is said to have made it a rule to hang every Cossack. Fighting In Flanders. London, Nov. 26.—The German guns in Belgium have been silenced, for the moment at least Important gains were made by the allies in the Flanders theater yesterday. So important were they to the allies' new offensive movement to destroy the invading army or drive It from Belgium that the French war office deemed It best, in its official announcement, of this afternoon, to withhold, the location of their advances. The official statement simply stated that "in the north the cannonading diminished in intensity and no 'entry attack was directed against tea, which made slight advances at certain points." Berlin Official Statement Berlin, NOT. 27.—The following official statement was issued here today from army headquarters: "The situation is unchanged In the western theater.

A new theory to explain the tails of comets Is advanced by the French physicist, M. Houllevigue, in the Revue Scientlfioue. It is natural to suppose, he says, that the incandescent nucleus of a comet Is throwing out electrons into the extremely rarefied atmosphere that surrounds it The observations of George EUety Hale, the American astronomer, prove that the sun behaves like a negatively electrified body. Therefore he repels electrons, which are negatively electrified bodies. These particles so repelled would be driven to that side of the comet which Is farthest from the sun, and by contact with the molecules of the gaseous and rarefied atmosphere would produce just the luminous appearance that we can a comet's tall. ' Every cqmet's tail always extends away from the sun. Arrhenlus, the Swedish astronomer, believed that the particles of the tall were repelled by the light of the sun.

TERS KING COTTON'S | 1 FLEECY 8TAPLE MU8T PAY RAN- 80M INTO THE C0FFER8 OF WAR. Nation Ringa With Cries of Stricken Industry. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union. King Cotton has suffered more from the European war than any other agricultural product on the American continent. The shells of the belligerents have bursted over his throne, frightening his subjects and shattering his markets, and, panic-stricken, the nation cries out "God save the king!" People from every walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain" only cotton goods; the press has plead with the public to "buy a bale"; bankers have been formulating holding plans; congress and legislative bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers have grown eloquent expounding the inalienable rights of "His Majesty" and presenting schemes for preserving the financial integrity of the stricken staple, but the sword of Europe has proved mightier than the pen of America in fixing value upon this product of t,he sunny south. Prices have been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until the American farmer has suffered a war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a European port must pay a ransom of half its value or go to prison until'the war is over. Hope of the Future Lies in Co-opera- Won. The Farmers' Union, through the columns of the press, wants to thank the American people for the friendship, sympathy and assistance given the cotton farmers in the hour of distress and to direct attention to cooperative methods necessary to permanently assist the marketing of all farm products. The present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to Justify extraordinary relief measures, even to the point of bending the constitution and straining business rules in order to lift a portion of the burden off the backs of the farmer, for unless something is done to check the In-vaslon of the war forces upon the cotton fields, the pathway of the European pestilence on this continent will be strewn with mortgaged homes and-famine and poverty will stalk over the southland, filling the highways of industry with refugees and the bankruptcy court with prisoners. All calamities teach us lessons and the present crisis serves to illuminate the frailties of our marketing methods and the weakness of our credit system, and out of the financial anguish and travail of the cotton farmer will come a volume of discussion and a mass of suggestions and finally a solution of this, the biggest problem In the economic life of America, if, indeed, we have not already laid the foundation for at least temporary relief. More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture. Farm products have no credit and perhaps can never have on a permanent and satisfactory basis unless WJ build warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc., for without storage and credit facilities, the south is compelled to dump Jts crop on the market at harvest time. The Farmers' Unions in the cotton producing states have for the past ten years persistently advocated the construction of storage facilities. We have built during this period 2,000 warehouses with a capacity of approximately 4,000,000 bales and looking backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward, we are able to house less than one-third of the crop and warehouses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness. The problem Is a gigantic one—too great for the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the banker, the merchant and the government In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the world's history, but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of history we find agriculture plowing with a forked stick but with a system of warehouses under governmental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel or\ civilization, for who has not admired the vision oi Joseph and applauded the wisdom or Pharaoh for storing the surplus until demanded by the consumer, but in this age we have too many Josephs who dream and not enough Pharaohs who build.

Wake Dr. Miles' LaxaUv* Tuttsts Thty will h«lf ftev Congress has levied a war tax of $103,000,000 to offset a similar amount of loss on import revenue due to the European disturbances and of this amount beer is the heaviest contributor, having been assessed approximately $50,000,000; a stamp tax on negotiable instruments, it is estimated, will yield $31,000,000; a tax on the capital stock of banks of $4,300,000 and a tax on tobacco, perfumes, theater tickets, etc.. makes the remainder. Congress has decreed that the brewer, the banker and the investor mdst shoulder the musket and march to the front; that milady who would add to her beauty must first tip Uncle Sam, and a dollar that seeks pleasure must first salute the flag; that Pleasure and Profit—the . twin heroes of many wars—shall fight the nation's battles and by an ingeniously arranged schedule of taxation congress has shifted the war budget from the shoulders of Necessity to those of Choice and Gain, touching in its various ramifications almost every line of business. All hail the dollar that bleeds for Its country; that bares Its breast to the fortunes of war and risks its life to preserve the stability and integrity of the nation's credit. The market place has always been a favorite stand for war revenue collectors. The trader Is a great financial patriot. His dollar is the first to rally around the star-spangled banner and the last to hear the coo of the dove of freace. He is called upon to buy cannon; to feed and clothe the boys in blue and each month cheer their hearts with the coin of the realm. Men can neither be free nor brave without food and ammunition, and money is as important a factor in war as blood. Many monuments have been erected in honor of heroes Rlain in battles, poems have been written eulogizing their noble deeds and the nation honors its soldiers while they live and places a monument upon their graves when they die, but very little has been said of the dollar that bears the burdens of war. Honor to the Dollar that Bear* the Burdens of War, All honor to the dollar that answers the call to arms and, when the battle is over, bandages the wounds of stricken soldiers, lays a wreath upon the graves of fallen heroes and cares for the widows and orphans. All honor to the. Industries that bend their backs under the burdens of war; lift the weight from the shoulders of the poor and build a bulwark around the nation's credit. All honor to those who contribute to the necessities and administer to the comforts of the boys who are marching; cool the fever of afflicted soldiers and kneel with the cross beside dying heroes. A dollar may fight Its competitor in business, industries may struggle for supremacy in trade and occupations may view each other with envy or suspicion, but when the bugle calls they bury strife and rally around the flag, companions and friends, mess mates and chums, all fighting for one flag, one cause and one country. The luxuries in life have always been the great burden-bearers In government. We will mention a few of them giving the annual contributions to the nation's treasury: Liquor,$250,- 000,000; tobacco, $103,000,000; sugar, $54,000,000; silks, $15,500,000; diamonds, $3,837,000; millinery, $2,479,- 000; furs, $2,024,000 and automobiles, $870,000. We collect $665,000,000 of internal and custom revenue annually and $450,000,000 of this amount classifies as luxuries, and to this amount we should add the $100,000,000 war tax now levied. The war tax is Immediately effective. Tramp! .Tramp! Tramp! the industries are marching $100,000,000 Btrong and beneath the starry -flag they will fill the treasury again while they about, "Hurrah for Uncle 8am!" k In every field of human activity the demand for more competent men and women It growing every day.

The economic distribution of farm products is today the world's greatest problem and the war, while it has brought its hardships, has clearly emphasised the importance of distribution as a factor in American agriculture and promises to give the farmers the co-operation of the government and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will, in a measure, compensate us for our war losses, for the business interests and government have been in the main assisting almost exclusively on the production side of agriculture. While the department of agriculture has been dumping tons of literature on the farmer telling him how to produce, the farmer has been dumping tons of products in the nations garbage can for want of a market. The World Will Never Starve. At no time since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden have the inhabitants of this world suffered from lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation to this good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Slight variations in production have forced a change in diet and one locality has felt the pinch of want, while another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been a land of plenty. We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not only have this surplus area to draw on but it is safe to estimate that in case of dire necessity one-half the earth's population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the foreBt, gather it from wild vines and draw it from streams. No one should become3 alarmed; the world will never starve. The consumer haa always feared that the producer would not supply him and his fright has found expression on the statute books of our states and nations and the farmer has been urged to produce recklessly and without reference to a market, and regardless of the demands of the consumer. Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging each other to move back to the farm, but very few of them have moved. We welcome our city cousins back to the soil and this earth's surface contains 16,092,160,000 idle acres of tillable land where they can make a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far as increasing production is concerned; we now have all the producers we can use. The city man has very erroneous ideas of agricultural conditions. The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production is all wrong. Our annual Increase in production far exceeds that of our increase in population. The World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land in cultivation. Of this amount there is approximately 750,000,000 acres on the western and 1,260,000.000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, in. cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not in* elude grazing lands, forests, etc., where large quantities of meat are produced. The world's annual crop approximates fifteen billion bushels of cereals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre and sixty-five million tons of meat. The average annual world crop for the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Half Previous Half Crops— Decade. Decade, i Corn (Bu.) 3,934,174,000 3,403,655,000 Wheat(Bu.) 3,522,769,000 Oats (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 Cotton (Bales) 19,863,800 The world shows an crease in cereal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the world's population shows an increase of only three per cent. The gain in production far exceeds that of our increase in population, and it la safe to estimate that the farmer can easily increase production 25 per WA\VA\WA'JVA>&A\WA^St-lV*i\W/f\WA' f f^r^WA\^nsWAWA\WA^W H 3,257,526,000 3.508,315,000 17,541,200 average Ini PETTYSVILLE STORE mmammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmum On Saturday, December 5th Will Pay 32 cents Pep Pound For Buffer and 3 2 c P e r Dozen For One-half in Ca^h and Balance in Trade H.

WILL MAINTAIN QUARANTINE Dr. Halladay Says That Only Town ah (pa Where Epedemic Waa Severest Will Be Kept Under The Ban. Bast Lansing.—The last of the cattle, sheep and hogs smitten by the hoof and mouth disease, which a few weeks ago swept over the state, have been slaughtered and buried, according to Dr. H. H. Halladay, president of the state livestock and sanitary commission. This announcement from Dr. Halladay indicates that the big end of the fight against the epidemic Is over with, but during the coming three or four months, unless new outbreaks should occur, the campaign will be confined simply to maintaining the quarantine. It probably will require this much time for the eradication of the hoof and mouth germs. The quarantine will but little effect the state's meat supply, for an order has already been issued, permitting the sale of Michigan cattle in Detroit Only those township in which the epidemic was severest will be kept under the ban. In no case during the battle waged to check the spread of the epidemic was any attempt made to cure the sick animals. Every one of those afflicted with the disease was killed, despite the fact that most of the animals could have been saved. The slaughter method of wiping out the epidemic waa employed because of the fact that while one animal was being cured the disease would have spread to others.

DUTCH WANT NO HELP IN CARING FOR REFUGEES Holland Declines Aid Offered Unofficially By American Charity GATHERIN6 UNFORTUNATE ONES IN SPECIAL CAMPS Huge Expense of Supporting Penniless Belgians and Soldiers Wilt he Paid Eventually by Belgian Government. The Hague, via London—The Dutch government has categorically declined all offers of financial aid for Belgian refugees In Holland, which were recently unofficially, offered by an American charity. While deeply appreciative of the generous proposal, the government says it feels that it would be incompatible with the country's honor to tallow another nation or individual association to assist in this mercy work, and that Holland desires to provide herself for all those different neighbors who are afflicted by the war. Of the 1,000,000 Belgian refugees who fled into Holland at the beginning of the war. 300,000 penniless ones remain. One-half of these are living In the two southern provinces of Brabant and Zeeland. The remainder are divided among 800 communities. Winter Is approaching and these refugees are now being gathered together in specially constructed camps situated in dunes of heath and at other healthy spots. For this purpose, a special budget of about $1,- 600,000 has been passed to cover the expenses until January. After that a further credit of $3,000,000 will be given. The gravest task in store for the authorities 4s the rounding up and concentrating "of former inmates of Belgian prisoners, who were liberated wholesale by the Belgian authorities before the arrival of the Germans and now are considered a public menace. In addition to the refugees, there are 45,000 Belgian soldiers who crossed the border Into Holland and were interned. These men are also being supported In special camps. The expense for the maintenance eventually will be paid by the Belgian government, according to International law. President Visits Firing Line.

Washington—A new aspirant for presidential honors in Mexico waa added to the list Sunday with the receipt here of advices that General Pablo Gonzales, one of Carranza's divisional chiefs, has proclaimed himself provisional president of Mexico and has named a cabinet. This report, received officially, comes from Queretaro, where General Gutierres, the AgueecaUentee, convention's choice for president* has established himself. According to this information, General Gonaa* les is at Pachuca with his forces, said to number about 8,000 man. Pachuca is north of Mexico City, about 50 miles distant GoaseJes recently withdrew from Queretaro in the face of the advance of Villa and his troops, and his whereabouts tor some time has been more or less of a mystery. The mystery is now solved, i t la believed* with the announcement that he has proclaimed himself provisional president While it is doubted if he" win attempt to take Mexico City at present it is admitted that General Gonsalea with his present fores? can make himself a most disturbing factor in the situation and perhaps frustrate an the plans of either Villa, Zapata, or Carran**, so Jong as he holds bis present strong posittoa. According to other state depart* meat advioea, negotiations are under way between the convention leaders and Zapata for a Joint entry into Mexico City. / MARKET WOTATIONS Live Stock, Grain end General Farm Produce.

With the European wheat field* desolated, and the farming population more than decimated, there will be for a number of years a demand for food products that has not been ex* perienced in the memory of the present generation. B very one regrets the horrible, war that has Drought thi* about Its effects are felt not only in Europe, but in every' part of the American continent Many lines of business have been hurt but only temporarily it is hoped. Financial stringency is being talked of. There. Is a way of overcoming these things; and Western Canada offers the solution in its immense agricultural area, when the possibility of retrieving losses, making assured gains, and at the same time becoming a factor in providing the world with the one great requisite—wheat—is so pronounced that it cannot be overlooked. There are several ways in which excellent farming lands can be secured in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and also British Columbia. j In the first place the offer of the Dominion Government of 160 acres of land free to the settler Is something not given by any other country. Conditions of settlement are easy. Live upon the land six months in each year, for a perio^ of three years, cultivate about thirty acres, and erect a habitable house. Instead of cultivation, the keeping of a certain number of head of cattle will carry with it the same value. * Many of these homesteads may be had in the open prairie area, where every acre can be put under cultivation, but to the man with limited means, in the park area, lying north of the central portion of three of the provinces named, the/e is afforded the best chance. In this park country are beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, and sufficient open area to enable one to go into immediate cultivation for crops of wheat oats, barley and flax, any one of which does wonderfully well, giving prolific yields. In due time when more land is required for cultivation, these groves may be cut down at small cost In the meantime, however, they have been valuable in providing fuel and shelter for cattle, which thrive wonderfully on the wild grasses that grow in abundance. Another plan is to purchase from some of the railway companies who hold large tracts^or from some responsible land company. The prices asked are exceedingly low and the terms easy. Whether one may decide to locate in the open prairie area or in the park country the land will be found to be of the same general texture, a rich black or chocolate colored loam on a clay subsoil. r AgalzLattention is drawn to the fact o'f the great opportunities for farming that are offered in Western Canada. Already a number of holders of tracts of land there, who are residents of the United States—business men, merchants, lawyers, bankers—men of foresight and keen knowledge of business, have decided to cultivate the lands they have been holding for speculation and wait no longer for a buyer to turn up. They are acting wisely. Canadian laws are aa fair and just as can be found in the civilised world. Military service is not compulsory, nor la there one ounce of coercion used. Anything that is given to Great Britain whether in money or men is entirely voluntary. There is no drafting nor conscription of any kind. Already over sixty 'thousand of the young men of Canada have volunteered for service, and thirty-five thousand have gone forward, many of these having left their farms in their love for Great Britain and a desire to fight for their country. As a consequence, many farms may be left untilled. Therefore Canada Invites others to come in and take their places. This then is the opportunity for the American who wishes to better hie own condition.—Advertisement • * - • ! -•v.jjrv( :v. .-* - • • • * ' „:/i.\ X~- "The Red Cross Girleena/' That the Red Cross nurses are an and more than has been claimed for them when it comes to genuine pluck Is borne out by an Irish soldier, Sergt T.

It was as a boy, long-legged, lanky and just into my teens that 1 made my application for a "job" with one of the merchandise concerns that was -making an effort to secure trade ;from the people in the towns and country adjacent to one of our big western cities. I had arrived In the city, having quit any Job in a smaller metropolis many ^miles away after serving an arduous •term as office boy and all-around "kid" fin a small store. My self-confidence was small and my diffidence abnormal I suppose I stood outside the store entrance for fully an hour before I mustered up courage enough to go in. "I want to see the DOBS," was my .statement to a rather flashy appearing man who asked me what I wanted. "Whatforr ul want a Job." He sized me up quizzically and then /pointed to a door leading into a dingy -little office in the corner. There was a long counter, behind which a sleepylooking bookkeeper was engaged in adding up figures and within the office X could see a tall, angular man readting letters. Timidly I knocked at the •door. ''Gome in," said the angular man, in a deep, bass voice. Tremblingly I approached him. He looked at me with a keen glance and asked me what I wanted. "I want a Job." "What can you dd? "Work around a store." Then followed a series of questions, which I answered freely as I became more at ease. "I need a good, hard-working boy." He said, "one that Is honest and reliable. Have you any references?" "No, sir." I explained that I had l>een refused a reference from my last •employer because he did not wish me to quit and he had taken this petty Tevehge. Then he asked me a lot more questions about my work, etc., ant finally he said: "A reference doesn't amount to anything, anyhow. Men will give a reference to get rid of a fellow, lots of times. I've done it myself. You show me that you are all right, and we'll have no bother about the reference. I'll give you a Job. Where are your things?" "What things?" "Why, your trunk or your valise or your bundle." It was with humiliation that I confessed that I did not have anything •except the clothes 1 had on. I did not confess to the possession of a pair of neatly darned socks, which X had in one Jacket pocket As for linen, why, I had the shirt I was wearing and my celluloid collar had been, no tar, all sufficient, as I could launder it In a minute with a basin of water. He laughed and said. "All right sonny; start right in and see that yon dont take away from my store any more than you fetched into it" I barely existed on the three dollars a week he paid me, but managed to make shift by sleeping on a cot in the Tear of the store. T o n can go out in the store and straighten up stock," he said, "and -fix everything up in good sty4a^ Every -morning yon will take the broom and eweep out and if you find anything on the floor, bring it to me.

As a buyer I have since visited the biggest markets in air of the principal citieaxend N I have never seen anything like*the •atnjt he had piled on his shelves. There was a long table with clothing, made from material known as "shod? ~dy." when yon wore It out in the .rain it became a pulp and lost any -semblance of shape. There were canoes, made of the cheapest leather, with insoles of paper; there were barrels of hrown sugar, "coffee A," eta, * n d a > « « canister of "white" sugar. "There was eofta* which 1 mixed with /roasted beans and oojn^and gjouad a* hand in the *4mffi" aerewed to the flirty nine counter, There were prunes, raisins, jhirrents, apples, altdrted. . the dry gnofejtould now be considV cred absolutely worthless.

There se > - • • . . . . . * • # • ,.v- The store made pretensions tobelng quite an establishment but I will state honestly that as I remember that awful stock of merchandise I would not offer' $100 for the whole outfit were I to appraise it today. So I swept out the store mornings, tied up bundles and waited on customers during the day and at night X crawled under the counter, too tired to dream, and slept amidst the odors from the barreled and boxed groceries. He showed me bow to manipulate the old-fashioned scales so that I could cheat an old woman out of a pound or two of sugar or flour. Our pint quart and gallon measures bad false bottoms. Our peck and bushel measures were fixed for false measure, and then) was ample material for adulteration of all commodities. He instructed me in their use, and one day he trounced me without mercy because he observed that I did not sufficiently adulterate the purchase of an old Irishwoman who* did my other' shirt up tfor I now had two) and who mended my socks for a few pennies a week. "You'll never learn the business," he said, rather sadly, "unless you watch every chance to make a penny. It's the pennies that count In this business." "Get their money/' he used to say with great unction, "get all you can out of them for as little as you can give. If they come back and holler it is plenty of time enough to make it right. Then, of course, it was a mistake, but be careful and don't give too much, even then." He made It a point to wait on little children who came into the store, and I realize now that his purpose was to short-change them out of a few pennies. It came about that I filled all the orders sent in by mail or that were left to be filled for. farmers who brought in an order made out by the wife. Many and many a wigging was Shad by innocent farmers who were blamed by their wives for "forgetting" to order certain articles. Of course the things were never put into the package, although paid for. I knew it was wrong. I knew I was cheating these customers, but here was this old sinner who went to church regularly and was a deacon in the leading house of worship. His argument when I made a weak objection to this method was that he was in business to make money and that the thefts were so small that nobody missed the money. Besides, he was my "boss," and he was responsible. That Is what he told me in so many words. One day I told him I was going to quit Here I was a half-starved and wholly overworked boy, ignorant of the world and without a penny saved, and absolutely dependent upon my daily wage for food, but desiring strongly to escape from this old scoundrel. When I told him I wanted to quit he dragged me into the office and beat me with a strap. After that 1 planned. I planned to murder him. I planned to burn down the store. I planned to do anything and everything that might offer me a chance to get away from the hateful place. And one day the chance came. Back behind the counter one after* noon I found a pocketbook. It belonged to him. I knew it as I knew my JWA rift* hanl for jt waj &8B this selfsame pdeketbook thai he fate me grudgingly every Saturday night so slowly and grouchlly (hat X feared each time that he would change his mind and withhold H, my three dollars. In the pocketbook were bills to the amount of $80. v Fear assailed me at this discovery, but conscience never spoke. I burled it in the prune barrel and continued my work. He searched for It everywhere. He gave me a brutal questioning and tortured me by twisting my arm until I screamed with pain, tint wild horses would not have dragged my secret away. In the pocketbook were some notes and other papers Identifying it I took out the currency and hid it again in the prune barrel after a few days. Then, one night I slipped out and left the pocketbook, with the papers in it on the wooden sidewalk, because he had made his loss known by word of mouth and had announced that he would give $5 for Its return. The next day the pocketbook was brought into the store by a man who said he had found it and who demanded the reward. The boss opened i t found that the MO was missing and accused the finder of heing a thiet He refused to pay any reward. They fought all over the store. The boss was soundly trounced, and X, pitiful object of humanity, a scrawny, haJf-starvefi hoy and the author of his misfortune, sneaked behind the counter and choked my month with a shoddy coat sleeve fe> hasp from shrieking with unholy Joy. Seme days later I rosufioolod the $10 from the prune barrel and with tale modest fortune left m the night Jew-yen unknown. . vaunt ef Mueyejllf 1 1 datjemY %%%»%e>»s>»»j»»»ejeeee%»»w>(tee^%e%%»4 GERONIMO'S REDSKINS By 08CAR W. EDLINQ. "Yea." said the station agent, "1 did have an adventure with Geronimo's warriors the summer they broke loose from their reservation, which, perhaps, is worth telling about "The previous winter I had been employed away up north in Canada, within sight of the glaciers glinting on the Banff mountains, and I got the iced air so incorporated in my system that I felt like a cold-storage plant. "As soon as the snow blockade was raised in the spring I turned southward. I was not particular where I went so long as it was near the tropics. I accepted a place in southern Arizona, a stand which can give Sahara hints on the tropic business. "It's a great place for acquiring a thirst or even adding to one already acquired. I was sitting in the shade of the water tank one day, the contents of which 1 had been absorbing at brief intervals. I wondered if I would ever have enough animation In me to go north again. "I found it too much work to think with the expanding mercury almost lifting the glass tube of the thermometer out of its socket and so I fell into a dose. How long I nodded I do not know, but a swarm of Insects settling on me as If I were made of fly-paper awoke me. "As I stirred, my little dog also came out of his usual comatose condition, for the beat had made us both excessively weary, and dragging himself over to a post he leaned against it for support and barked feebly. I heard a noise behind the house. Before 1 could get up to Investigate, I found the cause standing before me in the shape of several painted Indians. "I was familiar with the sight of Indians, but I could see that this bunch were not friendly visitors, although they grinned at me. Their grin said plainly, 'You are ours.' " 'How do you do?' 1 asked, as soon as I could swallow a sudden inflammation in my throat " 'How do?' one of them grunted in reply. 'Whisk! Bottle whisk! Mouth dry; want drink!' " 'Whisky? Certainly/ and I brought out a quart "bottle which I kept for snake bites. Immediately it was passing from mouth to mouth; and it was all gone when a second crowd of painted faces galloped up alongside. There was a full score more of them and I felt awfully lonesome. "The empty bottle was circulated among the last arrivals; each rider gravely taking a smell. 'More, bring more whisky!' some of them shouted, and when I explained that I had no more, they looked crushed. The first six who had merged the contents appeared happy over the discomfiture of their comrades, and one of them pointed to the big, dripping water-tank and said, 'plenty water, take heap, all you want' "This did not seem to comfort them any, and I saw that they reproached me for being a temperance man. I knew that I would have to suffer for their loss, and the sight of some scalps dangling from their pelts did m r*e*faw m* "After some conrusion in rummaging through the place I was put alongside my desk. There was a brief confab in Apache between the leaders, one of whom was Geronimo himself, and then one. of them, dresed like a white man, sat down and wrote a message on one of my blanks. Turning to me when it was finished he said in good English: M took here, young fellow, we want you to send this dispatch to the captain at Fort Bowie, and, mind you, no monkeying on the wire. Send Just that no more'and no less. Obey us and your life will be spared; but if you send any warning beside this, we will comb your hair for you. I picked up soma telegraphy at the Indian school/ "And with that he laid the blank before me and at the same time pointed a pistol toward my head. "There was nothing for me to do but obey and I read the telegram. 0 T e Captain —, Fort Bowls: "Geronimo, with a targe fores, has fust pessiHl south on the way to surprise the mining settlement ia Crystal Gulch. Some ranchmen brought me the news, and they ssk you for God's sake order your troops there to the rescue at once. Please aft- * "AGENT." "1 had direct wire connection with the fort and I soon Talsed the operator there and began transmitting the dispatch, wondering, as I did so, what its object was. I concluded that it was to put the troops on a false chase, and I privately resolved to notify the fort tf I could. "Was the y u m Indian really an operator and could he detect me if I should add a warning to the message? He was now standing over me aad I looked up at htm. His eyes met mine as t did so, and a smile yen s|| r|mU Tom are at that word} and he pointed to the exact place where I had paused in my sending. Geronimo uttered an approving grunt "I resumed my wiring and was nearly done, when the fort operator broke me, having missed a word. I repeated it and was going ahead with the close when the Indian operator Interrupted me with an oath: '"You are sending wrong; you are posting the fort!' " 'No, I am not/ I answered him. "'You lie! What did you say Just then?' And he shoved his gun under my nose. " The operator at the fort asked me to repeat that word and 1 did so; that is alL Didn't you hear itr "He looked hard at me for a few seconds, but as I had spoken the truth I did not flinch and returned the gaze quite steadily.7 " 'Oh, 1 was only trying to frighten you,' he said with a laugh. 'Where are you BOW?* '"Here/ I said, pointing to the place where I had left off, with the key open. '"That's right! Finish it!' said be; and I did so, getting O. K. from the fort "Within ten minutes thereafter the fort called me. The reply was abort expressing thanks for the information and saying that the troops would leave for Crystal Gulch at once. Whea I had O. K/d it the fort man asked me for more information regarding the Indians. "The Indian ordered me to write down every word, and he would not permit me to answer it until he had written the reply. Then he would follow the copy closely with his eyes, and at the same time listen intently to my sending. "When the wiring was onded, the fellow explained the business to the others, who grunted their approval aad Immediately all went out of doors except my operator friend, their places being taken by three others. "1 heard the gang outside ride off, but in which direction they went I was unable to tell as ray guard would not allow me to look out. They were not sociable fellows, speaking seldom to each other, and puffing in silence on their pipes like factory chimneys. "What were they keeping me tor? I wondered. Had they some other use for me that they did not kill me at once? "Three long oppressive hours passed thus, the figures of the Indians dimly visible through the dense tobacco smoke enveloping us. Then they arose and, seizing me, bound me to my chair and left the room. "I heard the clatter of their horses' feet and I realised with surprise and great relief that they had gone and I was yet alive. Waiting a few minutes to make sure they would not return, I wriggled loose from my bonds, which had been carelessly tied, and cautiously peeped out of the window. A half mile to the north I could see the four Indians riding away. "They remained in sight for ten minutes more at least, when they dropped from view down in a valley. I was glad I had seen the direction of their going, so that I could report it to the fort "For wnile the troops were speeding south to Crystal Gulch, the Indians were riding north and very likely woull attack the ranches along Chico creek, which were not far above the fort and could not be attacked with immunity while the troops were there. ~ I was at the telegraph key in an tlltant and called the fort ftrionj'-, The operaiSF there replied in a iew minutes and I was not long in explaining what had happened. The information astonished him. Excusing himself he ran and informed the commander. "At length he returned and told me that the captain had sent only a little more than half of the company stationed there to Crystal Gulch and had retained the remainder, who would start directly for Chico creek, "The next day some soldiers arrived by train and stopped at my station to guard the railroad property until all danger had passed. I learned from them-the conclusion of the affair and the narration surprised me. Geronimo's telegram had told the truth! "The four fellows who ha/, guarded nn had purposely gone north so long as they were within sight Of my station, and my life was spared so that I could observe them and report it to the fort "The main 'jody of Indians had gone southward three hours before, but had concealed themselves on the way so as to avoid the returning soldiers, whom they expected to be recalled, and then attacked Crystal Gulch early in the evening. "They would have succeeded bad not who fort commander decided to take no chances. Tor/ as he had remarked to his sergeant at the tide of my warning, the devil alone knows where his imps will turn up; and half a company of my hoys can handle a whole company of Apaches!' "So he did not send for the return of his men from Crystal Gulch. When Geronimo and his men dashed into what they supposed a defenseless set- Uement they met a volley that left half the ponies riderless and sent the) root of the head scattering to the few wines of heaven." SHED THE BEST WASHROOM Its Advantages Are Many, Where 8uch mn Apartment Is at the Command of Housewife. In case a woodBbed is available, with an old stove that can be used there, these should be pressed into service for washing during the winter months. The woodshed as a washroom would necessitate a washday which 1B mild and sunshiny, but there is usually more than one such day in each week; and when the health of the family is at stake, the washing can well be done on some other day than Monday. At best, the woodshed would be cold, hence the worker would need a piece of old carpet or linoleum and warm bricks or a soapstone to protect her feet while standing at the tubs. A small bench on rollers, made the same height as the wash bench, will enable the housewife to wove the filled tubs about without any lifting. Such preparations on the day previous are necessary in order to shorten the processes on washday and hasten the drying of clotheB, for the earlier in the day that some of the clothes can be put on the line, the less need there will be for the remainder to lie wet in the house or to be dried there. In case a shed is too cold for use in all processes of washing, it should be used for those which send off much steam, such as running clothes through the washing machine. Wringer, wash bench, boiler, basket and hamper should be kept in this shed rather than carried from the cellar and back, or rather than keep doors open while carrying them from the smokehouse to washroom, as is sometimes done. • USING THE SEWING MACHINE One Who Does Much Sawing Should See That It Is Always In Perfect Condition. When much machine work has to be done, filling the shuttle ic a constant annoyance. This can be partly obviated by threading the shuttle with finer cotton than that used on the needle. The sewing will be quite as strong, and the shuttle will not need refilling half BO cften as it would If threaded with the same number of cotton as the needle, because the spool will hold a great deal more of the finer cotton. If you want your sewing machine to do satisfactory work, remember that it needs to be kept clean. After every ten hours' work it needs oil, but all surplus oil must be carefully wiped off afterwards* Always work It Bteadily, and never start or stop with ar Jerk. One dressmaker, whose machines are noted amongst her sewing girls for their smooth and easy running, oils them once In every three times with paraffin instead of the usual oil. Of course she is careful that the machines are kept scrupulously clean. A dirty machine can't be expected to do good work. When your machine is not in use, see that the wheels are left «o that the oil holes are at the top of the hub. This will saVe clearing away the superfluous oil, which trickles out and causes the hub to catch the dust Before you begin to sew take an odd piece on material and stitch backwards and forwards before commeuo- »• crJ^r? wori. :: ttiy oil ratt tip* With the nee^S, ~ ~ freonentW happen/ after oiling or cleaning, it will not spoil your material. Treat a machine as a delicate in* strument and keep It away from draughts and damp. Egflo a la Shelburne.

During these months "there is little pressing work in rural communities and the attend- 4LQce is consequently the largest. The dates are fixed by the Superintendent of Public Inetrnction ^and the calls are sent out by the •comity school commissioners. \It sometimes happens that because of railroads and train •connections school officers are put ~to considerable inconvenience and •expense to attend the meeting in -their own county where the meeting~ p)aoe of au adjoining county is easily ajcessible. In such cases it might be well to note that these officers maj attend the meeting in ?the adjoining county, receiving the same credit and compensation. However school officers attending meetings outside their own counties should take two certificates of attendance aud file one with their echool commissioner in order that be may check up and give credit to all districts. In the past years the attendance of school officers has come to be uniformly large. Relatively few boards are not represented. Townsbip clerks,too are are finding the discussions at these meetings helpful to them in their work in connection, with the school: Ae school officers are now pretty well veraed in school law more attention is being directed to lines of school policy, administration, instruction, community work, and the vitalizing factors and agencies ot the school. This year a cordial invitation- is extended to patrons. The meetings should be utilized in the largest possible 'way to bring together, state, county and district in the building up of -strong loyal school sentiment that shall increase the support and the efficiency of the school.

WATER, THE Thrte of* Crew Fatally Scalded by Bollar Explosion—Battle of Flandera Goes On, Allies Claiming to Be Successful In Holding Positions— German Cruiser Emden Destroyed —Russians Occupy Gaiictan Towns. London, Nov. 14.—The British dreadaaught Audacious, one of the great sea fighters launched In 1918, has struck a German mine off the coast Of Ireland. Only the presence near by of the White Star liner Olympic saved the vessel's 1,000 officers and men from death by drowning. The Olympic towed the Audacious into Lough Swilly, a small harbor on the North Irish coast. The warship then sank in shallow water. One hundred and forty-seven of the 'Audacious' crew were scalded, three of them fatally. The dreadnaught's boilers were Jurat by the explosion, blowing a gapins hole in her upper works, but not causing sufficient damage to sink her immediately. The Audacious, was completed in 1918, with her sister ship, the AJax, and was a dreadnaught of the King George class. Her displacement was 25,000 tons, her length over all 696 feet She was equipped with ten 18%-lnch guns, SO four-inch guns and three 21-inch torpedo tubes. Allies Hold Positlone. London, Nov. 14.—From the Lye to the sea the battle of Flanders waa carried to the Germans, the French* British and Belgians having resumed the offensive at several points as soon as the energy of the German effort gave signs of being spent. Ypres was the center of the most ferocious fighting. Where on Wednesday the Germans, by force of superior numbers, had been able during a night attack to force their way into Ypres, from which they were expelled with enormous losses on Thursday morning, and where on Thursday night the allies had only been able to hold their own against the rapidly waning German attack, during the day tho allies 'took the offensive* and hurled the enemy back to the east, north end south. Germane Stilt In Dlxmude. An aggregate gain of nearly four miles was made by the allies' attack. To the east a hamlet from which the allies were driven on Wednesday was retaken. In Dlxmude the German detachments still are anchored* The key position—Ypres—is still '.eld by the British troops, who have withstood attacks of unexampled violence with unwavering courage for nearly four weeks. South of Ypres is Armentieres, around which the battle has been continuing with undiminished energy for a fortnight The allies occupy positions east of the town, and between their line and those of the Germans in artillery duel of violent character Is being fought The battle of the Aisne has been revived, and is being refought though with obviously diminishing numbers. v Allies' Progress Slight In the official report of the opera* ttons before Tracy-Ie-Val, which the French have gained after enormous losses on both sides, there is a qualification from which a bit of humor might be extracted in less gruesome circumstances. The statement says: "We have taken possession of Tracy, with the exception of the cemetery northeast of the village," Reports from the battlefield declare the town itself has been converted into a graveyard by the fury of the German night attacks and the connter- assamlts by whioh the allies finally dislodged the invaders, A violent artillery duel, is proceeding In the Arganne.

London, Nov. 12.—The cruiser Emden of Germany, which has sunk more than 20 merchantmen, chiefly English vessels, and two warships, since the war began, has been destroyed in the Bay of Bengal by the Australian cruiser Sydney, it was officially announced by the admiralty. The Emden was driven ashore on Coco island and burned. Her fire-blackened hull was blown up by the Sydney. It is announced that only about twenty of the crew of the German cruiser escaped out of a complement of 861. Captain von Muller of the German Cruiser Emden and Prince Francis Joseph of Hohenzollern, one of his officers, are both prisoners of war and neither is wounded, according to an announcement by the admiralty. Cruiser Koenlgsberg Bottled Up. The German cruiser Koenigsherg has been imprisoned by British ships off the coast of British East Africa and cannot escape because of obstructions placed in the channel, tt is officially announced by the government press bureau. Russians Oocupy Gailclan Towns. Vienna, Ndv. 14.—It was officially admitted by the war office here that the Russians have occupied Tarnow, Jaslo and Krosno, In Gallcla. London, Nov. 14.—News was received In Petrograd that the Russians in Essex, is abont seventy miles northeast of London. The news caused considerable excitement In London and had a depressing effect on the public mind, already distressed by the announcement that British casualties had reached the figure of 57,000 up to October 3L Call a Million More Men. London, Nov. 14.—The Gritlsh government will caU for. 1,000,000,more men to fight the Germans. This number Is in excess of the number of men already voted for 1914 and 1916* tt does not affect the territorial force. The additional 1,000,000 men will bring the British forces up to 8,188,- 400. On August 5 there was a supplementary estimate of 500,000 followed on September 9 by 500,000 more. The number of men now called out by the government answers the requirements of the year ending March 81, 1915. Turks In Revolt. Bucharest Nov. 14.—The newspapers state that the revolt in the Turkish army against its German officers is increasing}. Two of these officers at Constantinople and three at Adralnople have been killed. On the night qf October 28 a great explosion occurred at the' palace of Bnver Pasha, who escaped. London,: Nov. 18.-—A wireless dispatch from/^Berlin says an official statement from Constantinople reports that the Russians are retreating on the entire Transcaqcasian frontier, and that the Turks are pursuing on all sides. "The Turkish armies have succeeded in completing the attack which GREAT BRITAIN'S AVIATION STRATEGISTS Grahame White (center), In charge of the aviation forces of Great Britain, and Lieutenant Porte (right), who was to have attempted the transatlantic flight in the America, in consultation. have defeated General von Hlndenburg's army west of Kaltscz and have driven it beyond the frontier of Silesia* The Germans are reported to have suffered a severe reverse, losing 20 heavy guns and leaving many dead upon the field. The report is unofficial, but is published by Russian newspapers with the consent of the censor. Correspondents at the front for Petrograd newspapers telegraph that the Germans made a desperate effort to defend a line of entrenchments- from Kaliscs to Csenstoehowa, but could not stand against the bayonet attacks of the Russian infantry. The victory is said to have been gained largely as the result of the rapidity of the Russians in sending a,large cavalry force around the left wing of General von Hlndenburg's army. Austria for Peace, Bankers Believe. New *>rk, Nov. 15.—In some banking circles credit is given to the report that within the last two or tbree days Austria has asked a powerful state to ascertain from the allies what terms they would be* willing to grant to- that country in the event that tt entered into negotiations for peace Independently of Germany* It is tupposed that it may have been on account of knowledge of such overtures that Premier Asquith in the house of oommons the other, day intimated that the war might ead sooner, than' ex* Gorman AireMpe Over England.

LORD ROBERTS DIES AT BRITISH HEADQUARTERS England's Greatest General Passes Away Near Battle Front EIGHTY-TWO YEARS OF AGE Frenoh War Office Claims That German Troops Have Been Forced Back of the Yaer Canal* All United States Not to Interfere. Washington* Nov. 14.«—Tha United States will not interfere With Great Britain and Prance if they determine to settle with Colombia and Ecuador for alleged violations of neutrality in allowing German steamers to coal or permitting wireless stations to give news to German warships. That violations of neutrality exist was denied to the s^U department by the Colombian and Ecuadorean legations. Chile has already proved to Great Britain that she had not violated neutrality, either by the use of wireless or favoritism to merchant ships of any of the belligerents.

Paris Claims Germans Are Repulsed. Paris—The left bank of the Tser has been cleared entirely of the Germans and a telling defeat was administered by the allies in contact with Invaders on the right bank during the fighting Sunday claim the French. Complete evacuation of the western bank of the canal whioh the Germans have held for so long was announced In the official communique from Bordeaux. The official statement lays the greatest strett, however, on the fighting on the right bank. Here the Germans held strongly advantageous positions at Nieuport and at Dlxmude. The fury of the allies' offensive was directed against the tatter position, which the communique admits is still held by the Germans. •' Unofficial accounts of the fighting described a terrific battle for this position.- The Germans, who had mounted machine guns in the few remaining towers, left the ruined village and cannon had been trained down the thoroughfares leading to the westward and commanding the trenches held by heavily reinforced allies, while from the western edge of the town new and heavily protected trenches had been dug by the Germans. The allies bombarded the Germans In the town from the western bank and under cover of the heavy cannonading, made repeated attempts to cross and take the town on the other side of the canal by storm. The vigor of the artillery and small arms fusilade made the crossing such a perilous effort that the frontal attack finally was abandoned. Russians Active In East. I n the eastern theatre, on the Russian right wing, two armies are advancing toward the East Prussian defense line of Dantzlg-Thorn, with the obvious purpose of holding the River Vistula from the Baltic to Thorn and making any turning movement by the Germans in the north impossible when the central Russian armies now advancing in west Poland against Breslau, are^ ready to strike with full force. The First army holds Stalluponen and the railway line to Gumbinnen and Xnaterburg, and is believed to have occupied probably 25 oV 80 miles of German territory. The Second army, cooperating with great aneray, is advancing in an entirely new line, toward the northwest and has gained a foothold at Soldau, Johannesburg and the region of AHenstein. There are reports that the Germans are attempting an offensive movement from Thorn, where they have concentrated new troops. * . - bLPomnd, there Russian armies are attacking the frontier of Posen and Silesia, concerned for the moment with driving every Gemnah detachment from Polish soil, A force of Russians has broken through the German defense at the Warthc ami-hae pushed an advance guard late the ptovioo of Posen, holding a peslttoa Reduction in Living Costs Made Pce> eible by Perfect Product The sudden and hffrhly alarming toerease In cost of food .necessities, such' as sugar and flour, demand laereaaea domestic economy.

C. Committee. Surprising ^results were obtained Tuesday in Chicago, when, in a distance test on the boulevards, h 1915 big six went 28.7 miles on a gallon of Red Crown gasoline. The test'was made to demonstrate the fuel economy of high test gasoline, by the technical committee of the Chicago Automobile Club. Red Crown gasoline, 58 test was decided upon by the judges and drivers as the best gasoline to be used. All through the trip the dutch was not slipped, except when traffic congestion made it necessary. The dash adjustment on the carburetor waa disconnected, and in order that the test be a fair one, the fan was in operation throughout the run. Next came the acceleration test With the carburetor adjustment the - same as during the economy run, fhe car was driven from standing start to thirty miles an hour in 12 4-6 eeeonds. The flexibility test saw the car run at four miles an hour, fthen speeded up to forty-four. The test proves that the Six is not an excessive fuel consumer, where the best gasoline is used. The Bachelor's Marriage. George Ade (that incurable and brilliant bachelor) said at a dinner In Chicago: "I met a friend of mine the other day—a. bachelor friend who had recently got married. Giving him a vigorous thump on the back, I cried Jovially: " 'Well, old man, no more sock darning now, eh?' " 'No, indeed/ he answered.

My wages ^finally were transformed into a salary, and the salary was increased, gradually at first, and then with in* crease* and additions from percentages of profit from the business until,— well I have, never had any complaint to make. The-man who can make good m the snail order game practically can name Ills own salary. Who pays the salary? Why, you "do. of course.

The confessions that I am about to make here, unreservedly and without evasion, are prompted only by my desire to show to the people in the smaller cities and towns of America the absolute' folly and unwisdom of the policy of supporting big mall order establishments) at the expense and absolute loss of the hard-working local business men. who are doing their best to, build up their own communities; all of which work benefits and adds to the prosperity of every resident of the home town; at the, same time adding most materially to the value of every foot of real estate In the community. Of the ninety-odd millions of eouls and bodies that inhabit these United States of America a very large pro-' portion live in the country and in small towns and villages. These people are the producers. They raise the grains and foodstuffs and the wool and the* meat, bides, etc Those who live In the big cities are practically all dependent upon the efforts of Ifeose who live in the country, and in the small towns. They do not produce anything in comparison with the work of those who wrest from the soil the bountiful offerings of Nature. It is the work of those who lives in the cities to figure out how they can obtain that which is produced by the country people—*ow they can juggle the values of this product—how much money they can make out of it, eta They do not produce anything. They are the parasites. Without the country people there would be no cities. There would-be no occasion for cities because there would be nothing to support them. So it Is the plan of the universe, as laid down by our rules and laws, that a certain big proportion of the people shall toil and spin while the smaller proportion shall exact the greater part of that which Is produced by the toilers and make a profit sufficient to enable them to live in luxury while fhe toilers toll on, continuously. It is not the toilers and spinners who take the trips to Europe. It it not the toilers and spinners who get up In the morning at due o'clock and who spend their evenings at the theaters, cafes and cabarets, drinking wine end playing cards. The tollers and spinners get out of bed when the family alarm clock out in the hen-house tells them day Is breaking. They have no time for the theater or the cafe or the cabaret. It's a case of "hustle** all the time. It Is vital that every working hour In the day shall be utilized in order to "produce" that which the scheme of our life in the present day provides1 must be produced to keep the whole machinery of civilisation in motion. What would happen to the people In the cities if this whole scheme should become disarranged—if there did not arrive la the cities, oa schedule time vtwf day, the train loans of cattle, grain, milk and all sorts of country produce. And the mall bags, filled with orders for the mail order houses. What' would happen? There would aot loag remain any citizens because they would starve, these parasites, If the source of supplies should be cut off. And all of these supplies come from the oounutry, from the people in this community. Tou do your full share toward supplying the cities. Especially do you send your share of the orderB for the mail order houses, with the cash. There 1B a strange partnership between the people of the country and the people of the city, a partnership which, carefully analyzed, shows the following working agreement: The country people shall delve,and dig and toil and thea hasten to ship their product to the city partner, who takes possession and disposes of the same to the best possible advantage (to himself). He then hands out to the country partner, begrudgingly and frequently only la case of a suit M law, a small part of the proceeds. Then you, the country partner, scad this pittance back to the city, to the mail order house with an order. : Such is the result of a bald and tmvern^ed j»aalysts of the partnership batwaea farm and city, after applying* the> add test Individual exceptions do aot change jar alter the general rule.

Many of the newest tailored suits and frocks are undeniably martial in appearance, and, let it be added, undeniably smart on that account Here, for example, is one In black velvet with collar and cuffs of white fox and buttons and braid—well, no, they aren't brass—for silver is so fashionable, you see, and goes well with black.

Some ordinary morning blouses are a combination of taffeta and pique, the taffeta making the body of the blouse, the pique the collar and the cuffs.

Taking one year with another, the efficiency of Its lands to produce has been well proved. It has not been said of It that year in and year out there were bumper and bounteous crops. If such a condition existed It would be phenomenal In the history of any country- With an extensive territory producing grain, hogs, cattle and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, It is easy to conceive of a wide variation in temperature and climate; there is variation in rainfall and snowfall; every section is not the beat in the district—some are better than others and some worse, but as a general thing, the great percentage is "better." This past year has shown that some portions are not altogether immune from periods of drought. The same may be said of adjoining states to the south. But this year has also shdwn that in the greater portion of Western Canada drought does not appear, but even in the drought-stricken area of this year, past years have shown that the soil produces wonderfully well and even this year, with modern methods, known as "dry-farming," good-crops were harvested. The large number of Americans who during the past sixteen years have been attracted to Canada have not gone simply because of the advertising of that country, but because their friends and their oldtime neighbors have done well there, and with careful and judicious farming almost everyone has done well. As a result of the great influx of immigration the open or prairie homesteading area is being rapidly taken up. The fact that this is so is evidence that Western Canada lands are productive, and on these open plains today are to be seen the hemes of successful farmers from almost every state in the Union. They have earned their patents and now own outright their 160 acrea of land, together probably with an adjoining 160 acres, which they have purchased or pre* empted, ail of which Is worth from $25 to $30 per acre. They originally started by growing grains, altogether, but they found that they could secure a better price for much of their grata by feeding it to hogs and cattle, and the most successful ones are those who have followed this course. But to meet the wants oJ the newcomer a new homestead area has been opened up, known as the "park country/' In this park country are to bo found beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and streams, with sufficient open area to enable one to go Into immediate cultivation of crop, and in due time when they wish more land to be put under cultivation, they may at small cost cut down some of the groves, which in the meantime have been valuable in providing fuel and In giving shelter, to cattle. Notwithstanding the high character of the open prairie lands aad the fact that farmers there have realized in a splendid way, there is v the opinion backed up' by a lot of experience that this parklike country contains soil even better than that of the open area referred to. The opportunities, therefore, for money making are as great today as they ever were. The opportunities for carrying on farming successfully artfully as great as they ever were. 'Of this park area we have an immense quantity of land yet to be settloft It Is true that the railroads have not yet penetrated these districts to the extent that they have the open area, but this will come and as settlements advance, so will railroads build. For the present there is a temporary loll la railroad building, but it is always the case that where there is a demand there will come a supply, and it will not be long before the park country will be penetrated by railroads that will give sufficient accommodation for all needs, but to those who prefer it there are lots of opportunities for purchasing land nearer towns and villages and at low prices aad oa easy terms. Whether one cares to purchase or. homestead it can better be does by paying a visit to the country aad It will repay yoa to spend soma ttttfe time visiting the different distrteta— Advertisement >K Now York selasmau tells of a Non-^iwactrva. stay made by atm ag a westeta toast where ha observed an oJe>fti*iea*d: roller towel. . - *. -l.

"Ah, yew young raacal!" cried 8amaeL "Yew're the feller that eat up all my winter cabbages." At this uncanny reading of hla mind Mr. Cottontail darted off into the woods again to seek out his mate and Inform her that their guilt had been discovered. Finally, Samuel came to the break In the woodland, an open field of rye, green as springtime grass, and his own exquisitely neat /abode beckoning across the gray rail fence to him. How pretty Blossy's geraniums looked in the sitting-room windows! Bven at this distance, too, he could see that she had not forgotten to water his pet abutllon and begonias. How welcome in the midst of this flurry of •now—how welcome to his eye was that smoke coming out of the chimneys 1 All the distress of his trip away from home seemed worth while now for the joy of coming back. Before he had taken down the fencemil and turned into the path which led jto his back door, he was straining his {•ars for the sound of Blossy's voice gossiping with. Angy. Not hearing it, fie hurried the faster. The kitchen door was locked. The ty was not under the mat; it was not the safe on the porch, behind the •tone pickle-pot He tried the door •sjain, and then peered in at the window. Not even the cat could be discerned. The kitchen was set in order, the breakfast dishes pat away, and there [was no sign of any baking or preparations for dinner. He knocked, knocked loudly. No answer. He went to a side door, to the front entrance*, and found the •whole house locked, and no key to be discovered. It was still early In the \ morning, earlier than Blossy would have been likely to set out upon an errand or to spend the day; and then, too, she was not one to risk her health In such chilly, damp weather, with every sign of a heavy storm. ; Samuel became alarmed. He called "Blossy i" No answer. "Mis' >r No answer. "Bsra!" And jetm no sound In reply. Bis alarm tnereased. He went to barn; that was locked and Bsra rhere in sight By standing on tip* jtoe, however, and peeping through a sk tn the boards, he found that his and the two seated surrey were if. "Waal.

Blossy was not there, Angy was not there, nor anyone belonging to the household. But sitting on that very bundle of canvas, stretching his'lean hands over the etove, with Samuel's cat on his lap, was the "Old Hoss"—Abraham Rose! {here, yew an* Angy both, an' spend yer week oat Tea, yes," as Abe would have thanked him.

They're fine; try 'em." With one of those freakish turns of the weather that takes the conceit cut of all weather-prophets, the snow- bad now ceased to fall, the sun was struggling out of the clouds, and the wind was swinging around to the west Neither of the old men could longer fret-about their wives being caught In a heavy snow; but, nevertheless, their anxiety concerning the whereabouts of the women did not cease, and the homesickness which Abe felt for Angy, •The mtoitt* stock!" he mattered; and than low to himself, in an awed whisper: "Tonally Gold! The min*' stock!" - After a while he recovered himself sufficiently to explain that he had not received the telephone message, and therefore knew nothing, "Did I git a offer, mother r "A offer of fifteen dollars a share.

The cat jumped off Abe's lap, run* ning to Samuel with a mew of recognition. Abe turned his head, and made a startled ejaculation. "Sam'l Darby," he said stubbornly, "ef yew've come tew drag me back to that air beach, yew're wastln' time, I won't go!" Samuel closed the door and hung his damp coat and cap over a suit of old oilskins. He came to the fire, Using off his mittens and blowing on his fingers, the suspicious and condemnatory tall of his eye on Abraham. "HaoWd yew git herer he burst forth. "What yew bin an' done with my wife, an' my horse, an' my man, an' my kerridge? Haow'd yew git here? what'd yew come fer? When'd yew git here?" "What'd yew come ferr retorted Abe with some spirit. "Haow'd yew git herer' "None o* yer durn* business." A glimmer of the-old twinkle came back Into Abe's eye, and he began to chuckle. "I guess we might as waal tell the truth, Saml. We both tried to .be so all-fired young yesterday that we got played out, an' concluded unanermoas that the best place fer a A No. 1 spree was ter hum." Samuel gave a weak smile, and drawing up a stool took the oat upon his knee. "Yet," he confessed grudgingly, "I found out fer one that I haini no spring lamb." "Ner me, nuther," Abe's old Ups trembled. "I had eyester-stew an' drunk coffee In the middle o' the ntght; then the four-o'clock patrol wakes me up agin. 'Here, be a sport,'they says, an' sticks a piece o' hot mince pie under my nose. Then I was so oneasy I couldn't sleep. Daybreak I got up, an' went tor a walk ter limber up my belt, an' I sorter wandered over ter the bay side, an1 not a mile oat I see tew men with one o' them big fishin'scooters a-haulln' in their net An' I walked a ways out on the ice, a-signailn' with my bandana han'kercher; an' arter a time they seen me..

T "Waal, I says tew 'em, I says: 'Want ter drop a passenger at Twin Coves' 'Yes, yen,' they says. 'Jump In.' An' so, Saml, t gradooated from yer school o' bardenln' on top a ton o* squlrmln' fish, more or less. I thought rd come an' git Angy," he ended with a sigh, "an' yer hired man'd drive us back ter Shorevllle; but thar wa'n't nobody hum but a mewin' cat, an' the only place I oonld git inter was this here shop. Wonder whar the gals has gone?" No mention of the alarm that he must by this time have caused at the station, No consciousness of having committed any .breach against the laws of hospitality. But there was that in the old man's face, in his worn and wistful look, which curbed Samuel's tongue and made him understand that as a little child misses his mother so Abe had missed Angy, an<J as a little homesick child comes running hack to the place he knows heat so Aha wag hastening hack to the shelter he had scorned. So, with an effort, Samuel held his peace, merely resolving that as soon yew, 'cus mebbe 't was a joke, an' to wait till mornin' an' go see SamTs lawyer down ter Injun Head. That's whar we've jest come from, an' we telephoned ter Quogue station from thar.

Toward noontime they heard the welcome sound of wheels, and on rushing to the door saw Ezra driving alone to the barn. He did not note their appearance in the doorway of the shop; but they could see from the look on his face that nothing had gone amiss. Samuel heard the shutting of the kitchen door, and knew that Blossy was at home, and a strange shyness submerged of a sudden his eagerness to see her. . What would she say to this unexpected return T Would she laugh at ? him, or be disappointed? "Yew go fust," he urged Abe, "an* tell my wife that I've got the chilblains an' lumbago so bad I can't hardly git tew the house, an' I had ter come hum fer my 'St. Jerushy lie' an' her receipt fer frosted feet" CHAPTER XX. The Fatted Calf. Abe had no such qualms as Samuel. He wanted to see Angy that minute, and he did not care if she did know why he had returned. He fairly ran to the back door under the grape arbor, so that Samuel, observing his gait was seised with a fear that he might be that young Abe of the Beach, during his visit after all. Abraham rushed into the kitchen without stopping to knock. "I'm back, mother," he cried, as if that were all the joyful explanation needed. She was struggling with the strings of her bonnet before the looking-glass which adorned Blossy's parlor-kitchen. She turned to him with a little cry, and he saw that her face had changed marvelously—grown young, grown glad, grown soft and fresh with a new excited spirit of jubilant thanksgiving. "Oh, father! Were a t yew s'prised tew git the telephone? X knowed yew'd come a-flyin' back." Blossy appeared from the room beyond, and slipped past them, knowing intuitively where she would find her lord and master; but neither of them observed her entrance or her exit Angy clung to Abe, and Aba held her close. What had happened to her, the undemonstrative old wife? What made her so happy, and yet tremble so? Why did she cry. wetting; his cheek with her tears, when she was so palpably glad? Why had she telephoned for him, unless she, too, had missed tym as he had missed her? Recalling his memories of last night the memories of that long-ago honeymoon- time, he murmured into his gray beard, "Dearest!" She did net seem to think he was growing childish. She was not even surprised. At last she said, half between sobbing and laughing: "Oh, Abe, ain't God been good to us? Ain't it jlst bewtlful to be rich? Rich!" she cried. "RichI" Abe sat down suddenly, and covered his face with his hands.' In a flash he understood, and he could not let even Angy see him In the light of the revelation. 'pear tew think very much of it; but Blossy, she got him ter call up some broker feller In 'York, an' 'Gee whims!' he says, turnin' 'round all excited from the phone. Ten ally Gold is sellin' fer twenty dollars on the curb right this minute!' An* he says, says he: Tew git yer husband, an' bring that air/ stock over this srternoon; an'/ saya he, '111 realise on It fer yer termorrer morninV" . . Abe stared at his wife, sAter shining silk dress with its- darns and careful patches, at her rough, worn hands, and at the much mended lace over her slender wrists. "That mine was closed down 18 years ago; they must 'a' opened it up ag'in;" he spoke dully, as one stunned. Then with a sudden burst of energy, his eyes still oh his wife's figure: "Mother, that dress o' yourn is a disgrace fer the wife of a ftnancierer. Yew better git a new silk fer yerself an' Miss Abigail, tew, fust thing. Her Sunday one hain't nothin* extry." "But yer old beaver,'Abel" Angy protested. "It looks as ef it come out o'the ark!" "Last Sunday yew said it looked splendid;" his tone was absent-minded again. He aeemed almost to ramble br his speech. "We must see that Ishmael gits fixed up comfortable in the Old Men's home; yew remember haow he offered us all his pennies that day we .broke up housexeepln'. An' we must do Bomethtn' handsome fer the Darbys, tew. Ef it hadn't been fer Sam'l, I might be dead naow, an' never know nothin' erbout this here streak o' luck.

Addie Potter- "^ toninTwK^lilig^when her daughter Ruth, became the bride of Myrou W. Dunning, on Wednesday afternoon, November 11 at •one o'clock. Rev. L. W. Oatrander performed the wedding -ceremony in the presence of the immediate .relative* of the bride and groom, after which a simple buffet luncheon waa served to the gaests. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Dunning of this place. He is one of Pinek. ney's hustling young business men -and is well and favorably known in this community. The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. Addie Potterton, also of this village. ,She is one of Pinckney's fairest yoang ladies and has a host of friends. Both young people are gradnates of the Pinckney high school. In fact the romance which culminated in their marriage Wednesday, -began daring school days. After a snort wedding trip Mr* iind, Mrs. Dunning will be at home in mis village after December 1st. They have a bright outlook upon life and their many friends wish them happiness in the journey. State Is Quarantined "the discovery of foot aud mouth disease among some of the fine herds of cattle in Southern Michigan has oftused the Department of Agriculture at Washington to places quarantine on^ Michigan until the mcourge has been lulled off. Just as the quarantine became efiective a movement had been started to send some fine cattle from Livingston county to the Ohio Land and Livestock Exposition to be held in Toledo, Ohio, in the near futare, the quarantine however has made this impossible. Reed and Knowles have a consignment of cattle in the pavillion at Chicago which have been placed under quarantine. They were to have been shown at the coming live stock Exposition in that city. They were well at last reports and had just completed a tour of the fairs. Herb Ackley has a bunoh of cattle in the stock yards at Detroit that IB qlow of sale as a result of the quarantine. In some of the southern counties; the farmers have suffered heavy losses as a result of the disease but everything is being done to stamp out the malady.^-Tidings.. Back to the Smoke House Farmers \o *U psfrts of the c o u n t r ^ j ^ ^ interest an etjttfiatsit wjfak is being made in ^fc»al» county, Georgia. The Georgia farmers objected to the commercial system under which they were receiving but seven and eight cents a pound for the pork which they raised, while they saw ham and bacon of commerce retailing in their own markets for 25 cents a pound. They resolved to re-establish the antebellum smokehouses on their farms and immediately carried the resolution into effect. Through cooperation they commenced marketing their products in the finished form. They find that the profits which they make from curing their own meats are relatively larger, considering the time and expense involved, than ' those which they were receiving from marketing hogs on the hoof. The remarkable thing about this profitable experiment is that it has not been worked out in any of the grain centers or near any of the country's great markets, but in a remote county in the extreme southerti part of Georgia, in a "one crop" section, aud that crop cotton. e^sE Card of Thanks I wish to thank the patrons of the poatoffioe. and all those with whom-my work has been done, for the seventeen years and wore that I have been connected with the Department, for yenr untfoVm kindest-and consideTetion, yonr patience with my mistakes, and Apptffoiatioii of "my honest efforts/ W* jhanka to the neighbors and Henry M.

Nearly all his life was spent in the township of Mtlford ustil Ins. marriago to Christiana Gamble on January 3, 1866. The following spring they settled on a farm in Marijn wher3 they resided until the death of his wife in '03. To this union two children were born, Mrs. Ohas, Teeple of Pinckney and W. H. Padley of Reardon, Washington. For the past eleven years, Mr. Padley had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Cbas* Teeple in this village. Besides the son and daughter, there remains a large .circle of friends to mourn the loss of a man who was a friend to many, an enemy to none. The funeral was held from bis late residence last Thursday, Rev, Camburn, officiating. Interment was made in the Pinckney cemetery.

CHAPTER XVI—Continuod. The keeper went into the office with * somewhat hurried "Good-night," and •con Abe found himself alone again, the light In the kttohen beyond, no sound in the room save that of the "Dooming of the surf, the rattling of jthe windows, and now and again the Call of a clinker in the stove. The old man was surprised to find [that he could not fall back into that blissful slumber again. Not sleeping, Ihe had to think. He thought and; (thought—sober night thoughts—while the oysters "laid like a log in his atummick" and the coffee seemed to stir his brain to greater activity. "Suppose," said the intoxicated brain, "another big storm should swoop down upon you and the bay should break up, and you and Samuel should be imprisoned on the beach for two or three Inoaths with a handful of men-folks!" "Moo! Moo!" roared the breakers ton the shore.- "Serve you right for Loading fault with the sisters!" Come to think of it, if he had not jbeen so ungracious of Miss Abigail's {concern for him, he would now be in {possession of a hop pillow to lull him pack to sleep. Well, he had made hie [bed, and he would have to lie on it, Although it was a hard old carpet-covered lounge. Having no bop pillow, jhe would count sheep- One sheep going over the fence, two Isheep, three— How tired he was! ;How his bones ached! It's no use [talking,'you can't make an old dog do ithe tricks of his puppy days. What lan idiot he had been to climb that practise*mast! If he had fallen and broken his leg? Four sheep. Maybe he was too old for gallivanting, after all. Maybe he was too old for anything except Just to be "mollycoddled" by thoughtful old ladies. Now, be honest with yourself, Abe. Did you enjoy yourself today— no, yesterday? Did you? Well, yes and—no! Now, if Angy had been along! Angy!' That was why he^could not go to sleep! He had forgotten to kiss her good-by! Wonder if she bad noticed it? Wonder if she had missed him more on account of that neglect? Pshaw! what nonsense! Angy knew he wa'n't no hand at kissin', and' It was apt to give him rheumatism to bend down so far as her sweet, old mouth. He turned to the wall at the side of the narrow lounge, to the emptiness where her pillow should be. "Goodnight, mother," he muttered huskily. Mother did not answer for the first time in nights beyond the counting. Mother would not be there to answer for at least six nights to come. A iweek, thought this old man, as the other nf. man had reflected a few ho die uefore, is a long time when one has passed his threescore years and ten, and with each day sees the shadows growing longer. Abraham put out his hard timeshrunken hand and touched in thought his wife's pillow, as if to persuade himself that she was really there In her place beside him. He remembered when first he had actually touched her pillow to convince himself that she was really there, too awed and too (happy to believe that his youth's bad come true; and he rexnemnow how his gentle, strong had crept along the linen until It capped itself around her cheek; and the had felt the cheek grow hot with blushes In the darkness. She had not ibeen "mother" then; she had been "dearest!" Would she think that he Iwas growing childish If he should call jher "dearest" now. Smiling to himself, he concluded {that he would try the effect of the ten- Ida? term when he reached home again. jHe drew his hand back, whispering lOAce more, "Good-night, mother." JThen he fancied he could hear her say (In her soft, reassuring tone, "Goodmight father." Father turned his (hack on the empty wall, praying with la- sadden rash of passionate love that -¾^ ,« Xr''"'"TflsheB the last call should come for ; ^ : ^ - > * ^ . ' ^ ' v f c l « , It would be attar he had said He shivered as he drew close to the fire, and asked in one breath for a prescription for chilblains and where might Abe be. Abe's lounge was empty and his blankets neatly folded upon it. The sunrise patrol from the east, who had just returned, made reply that he had met Captain Abe walking along the surf to get up an appetite for his grlddlecakai and salt park. Samuel sat down suddenly on the lounge and opened his month. "Didn't he have enough exercise ylst'day, for mercy's sake! Pot' nigh killed me. I was that tired ms' night I couldn't sleep a wink. I declar\ ef 'twan't fer that fool newspaper acomln' out ternight I'd go home terday. Yer a-gwlne acrost hain't yer, Havens?" Havens laughed in response. Samuel glowered at him. "I want home comforts back," he vowed sullenly. "The beach hain't what it used ter be. Goin' on a picnic with Abe Rose is like settin' yer teeth into a cast-iron stove lid covered with a thin layer o' puddln'. I'm a-goln' home." Th,e keeper assured him that no one steel against the ice over the shining surface of the bay. "Law, yes," Samuel eased his conscience; "of course they will They couldn't hurt him, anyhow. I -never seen anybody take so kindly ter hardenin' as that air Abe." CHAPTER XVIII. Samuel's Welcome. The shore at Twin Coves was a somewhat lonely spot, owing to stretches of marshland and s sweep of pine wood that reached almost to the edge of the water. Samuel, however, having Indicated Jbat he wished to be landed at the foot of a path through "the pines, found himself on the home shore scarcely ten minutes after he had left Bleak Hill—Havens already speeding toward his home some miles to the eastward, the bay seemingly deserted except for his sail, a high wind blowing, and the enow beginning to fall in scattered flakes. Samuel picked up bis grip, trudged through the heavy sand of the narrow beach, and entered the sweetsmelling pine wood. He was stiff with cold after the rough, swift voyage; his feet alone were hot—burning hot with chilblains. Away down in his heart he was uneasy lest some harm should come to Abe and the old man be caught In the approaching storm on the beach. But, oh, wasn't he glad to be home! His house was still half a mile away; but he was once more on good, solid, dry land. "Ill tell Blossy haow that air Abe Rose behaved," he reassured himself, when he pictured his wife's astonished and perhaps reproachful greeting, "an'* then she won't wonder that I had ter quit him an' come back." He recollected that Angy would be there, and hoped fervently that she might not prove so strenuous a charge as Abraham. Moreover, he hoped that she would not so absorb Blossy's attention as to preclude a wifely ministering to his aching feet and the application of "St. Jerushy lie" to his lame and sore back. The torture of the feet and back made walking harder, too, than he had believed possible with' the prospect of relief eo near. As he limped along he was forced to pauBe every now and again and set down the carpetbag, sometimes to rub his back, sometimes to seat himself on a stump and nurse for a few moments one of those demon- possessed feet Could he have made any progress at all if he had not known that at home, no matter if there wae -company, there would at least be no Abe* Rose to keep him going, to spur him on to unwelcome action, to force him to prove himself out of sheer self-respect the equal, if not the superior, in masculine strength ? Abe had led him that chase over, at the station, Samuel was convinced, "a-purpose" to punish him for having so soundly berated him when he lay abed. That was all the thanks you ever got for doing things for "some folks." Samuel hobbled onward, his brow knit with angry resentment Did ever a half-mile seem so long, and had he actually been only twenty-three hours from home and Blossy? Oh, oh! his back and his feet! Oh, the weight of JUkt bag! How much he needed sleep! How good it would be to have Blossy tuck aim under the covers, and give him a hot lemonade with a stick of ginger in ttt .^-.- HQood-night, mother," to Angy tad felts* she bad said -Good-night fate him,* and that they might its** somewhere, somehow, together • ™ * God, saying.

This one and sight with Abe had been equal the revelations of a dosen The next time Samuel tried to do good to anybody more than sixty-five, he'd know i t The next time he was per* snaded into leaving his wife for over night, he'd "know that, too. Various manuals for the young husband, which he had consulted, to the contrary notwithstanding, the place for a married man was at home. Samuel sat down on a fallen tree which marked the half-way point between his place and the bay. The last half of the Journey would seem shorter, and, at the end, there would be Blossy smiling a welcome, for he never doubted but that Blossy would be glad to see him. She thought a good deal of him, nor had she been especially anxious for that week of separation. His face smoothed its troubled frowps into a look of shining anticipation— the look that Samuel's face had worn when first he ushered Blossy into his tidy little home and murmured huskily: . "Mis' Darby, you're master o' the vessel naow; I'm jest fo'castle hand." Forgetting all his aches, his pains, his resentments, Samuel took a peppermint losenge out of his pocket rolled It under his tongue, and walked on. Presently, as he saw the light of the clearing through the trees, he broke into a run—an old man's trot— thus proving conclusively that hie worry of lumbago and chilblains had in the same way. One of two conclu* been merely a wrongly diagnosed csaej, sions must be drawn from these inciof homesickness. He grinned as he pictured Abe's dismay on returning to the station to find him gone. Still, he reflected, maybe Abe would have a better time alone with the young fellows; he had grown so plagued young himself all of a sudden. Samuel surely need not worry* about him. More and more good-natured grew Samuel's face, until a sociable rabbit peeping at him from behind a bush, • decided to run a race with the old 1 gentleman, and hopped fearlessly out into the open. * (TO BE .CONTINUED.)

"It's good ter hear that he'll be left anyhow for comp'ny with this storm acomln' up." Samuel rushed to the window, for upstairs the panes had been too frosty for him .to see out A storm coming up? The beach did look gray and desolate, dun-colored in the dull light of the early day, with the winter-killed grass and the stunted green growth of cedar and holly and pine only making splotcheB of darkness under a gray sky which was filled with scurrying clouds. The wind, too, had risen during the night, and the increased roar of the surf was telling of foul weather at sea. A storm threatening!

In 181«, after the fall of Napoleon, the allied powers of Europe gave orders that the art treasures carried off by the conqueror should be restored to - their original owners. Fifteen states sent commissioners to Paris to claim their property, and more than 2,000 pictures were taken from the Louvre, together with almost innumerable statues, ornaments, knickkhacks, and so forth. The gallery was left with only 270 piotures and had to be closed for, a while until the vacant spaces could; be filled by gift or purchase. dentsi either that a great many persons do not read the newspapers, or that they are willing to jeopardise their lives for a savory dish. All the probabilities are that the explanation <of the second occurrence is not recklessness, but failure to keep up with current events. People who read newspapers regularly not only get information* about the state of the world in general and of their own /community in particular, but they get many valuable pointers as to what to avoid and what not to do. The newspaper acts, in fact, as a sort of life preserver if it is read carefully. That is, for people of average Intelligence.

Reinforced by thousands of fresh troops, who for three days had been pouring into the region about Ypres, the great German armies hurled them* selves at the British and French forces! strongly entrenched both east and west of Ypres, and fought with a ferocity that showed plainly the desperation of their attack. As to the outcome of the day's fighting, Berlin is silent, the only news from the German capital during the day referring to Saturday's developments. Paris, 'however, in Its night communique, declares the German attack to have been without result. Paris Claimed Important Gains. The Paris official reports of the fighting indicate that the Allies are driving tide Germans from the fortified crests along the Aisne, the bulwark of the invaders' extended line in northern France. ElBewhere, from Ypres to the Croonne region, the Allies made slight advances of firmly held theif* ground, but the important feature of the government's latest statement is the successful attask by the Allies northeast of Soissons. Sunday they claim they drove the Germans from the plateau of Vregny, the most notable advance in that region which has been attained since the siege operations began seven weeks ago. Previously, for a month, the French, had been slowly and at painful efforts winning the advanced trenches of the Germans above the Aisne, and had seized half of the plateau north of Soissons. The capture of the crest Of Vregyn means that they now have a foothold in the highlands which will enable the heavy French guns to combat the German artillery on equal terms. Italy Prepares to Fight Rome—Italy is sending troops to Tripoli to defend her settlements and territorial possession, for Turkey has disregarded the promise made to Italy by Germany that the Porte would not threaten Italian colonies and that Turkey had no designs on Tripoli. Events are tending more and more to force Italy into the war on the side of the Allies. The newest, most* momentous, crisis has developed in Cyrenaica, due to the aggressions of Bedouins stirred by the preachments of Turkish and German agents. News' received here Sunday lndif cates Turkeys intention to drive the Italians out of Tripoli and to regain the provinces lost In the war between Italy and Turkey. For a week Bedouins in the Interior have waylaid small detachments of troops sad have fired* upon and wounded Italian soldiers, Bedottins appeared In force at Deraa, on the eastern extremity of Hat Cyrejuhlem promoter?, and made a savage effort to destroy t t o encampment* there.

Looking at it in this way a pain is a useful alarm. Now, kidney weakness is a dangerous thing—a condition not to be neglected—and it is wise to know aad pay attention to the early alarm signals of sick kidneys. Backache is a common warning of congestion or inflammation in the kidneys. It may be dull, nagging pain, or a sharp twinge when stooping or lifting. There are likely to be disorders of urination, dizziness, headaches, and drowsy, despondent, tired feelings. It Is yery hard to strengthen weak kidneys at first, but neglect invites rheumatic or neuralgic attacks, gravel, dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease. As a special medicine for weak kidneys Doan'8 Kidney Pills have been used for years all over the civilized world, and surely are considered reliable. The patient can always help the medicine immensely, however, by dieting lightly, using little or no liquor, tea or coffee, keeping regular hours and drinking lots of pure water.

The lucretloni from my kidney* contained a thick, white sediment and the passage* WAT* accompanied by terrible pain. The flow w a s scanty and the passages too frequent. My back and limbs were stiff and lame and tar arms were all crippled up. Tim Joints in my fingers were swollen. I could hardly move my fingers or limbs. I got so bad Z couldn't do any work and was laid up. I doctored, but physicians gave me only temporary relief. I didn't think I would ever get better and was discouraged. One day a druggist told me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I used half a box. I soon felt better and by the time I had used two boxes I was abla to go back to work. I kept on taking them and enjoyed the best of health. I have been feeling in good shape ever since and a short time ago when 1 was examined for an Increase in pension the physician said my kidneys were in the best of shape.

Prop Cure For Nosebleed. 1 sometimes read in the daily papers of death caused by bleeding at the nose. Here is a cure discovered by me and not known or practiced by any physician. 1 am an old shipmaster, have tried it in a number of cases and uever knew it to fall. It is very simple. Any one can perform the operation. Place the patient in a sitting position or propped up in bed. and with the forefinger press gently iu the hollow of the throat just above the breast boue. and the bleeding will gradually cease. To avoid bleeding at the nose, espe* daily in the case of children, get a large bead the size of a large marble, put it on a silk or woolen string and tie it around the neck so that the bead hangs in the hollow of the throat and wear it night and day—New York Sua. A Remarkable 8tork. The whale billed stork is found on a lake south of the White Nile. The lake has never l>een mapped and is bordered by extensive swamps. It is hard to tell where swamp ends and lake begins, for most of the water surface is covered with a dense mat of tangled vegetation. Ou this mat the whale billed stork builds its nest. It is a very rare bird and is known to the Arabs as the Father of the Shoe, because of its huge shoe shaped bill. It is of solitary habits, blackish gray in color, with wide spreading long toed feet adapted for standing on the quaking surface of a Moating field of vegetation. Its habits are sluggish, and it lives mainly on tish. Colonel Roosevelt describes it as "limiting sedately in muddy shallows or standing motionless for hours, surrounded by reed beds or by long reaches of treacherous ooze." Downfall of an Astronomer. M.

Bravery of the Belgians. When Caesar tn his "Commentaries" prououueed the Belgue the bravest of all the Gauls he was merely recording the reputation that they had earned on many a battlefield and which they maintained even iu defeat. Caesar overwhelmed more thnn a quarter of a million of them in the year 57 B. C. on the banks of the Aisne. After the crushing defeat on tli .• Alsne Severn I I tribes, headed*by the Nervil, made a i last stand on the Sam ore, taking the offensive against the Roman legion.-; and very nearly defeating them by the "intensity of their onslaught. But the training and discipline of Rome saved Caesar, and the final result of the heroic resistance of the Nervil was their practical annihilation. Their peace emissaries said, "Of <*A) senators we have lost all but three; of 60,000 fighting men but 500 remain." It is from this stock that the Belgians of today are descended.—F. J.

Naval Battle Reported In Progress Off Chilean Coast—Two Thousand British 8a I lore Drowned When Germans Sink Enemy's Warshl pa—Turkey Declares "Holy War"—Russians Report Victories in Poland, East Prussia and Galicia. Tokyo, Nov. 7.—It was officially announced here today that the German fortress of Tslng Tao has surrendered to the Japanese and British forces. The announcement states that the first step in bringing about the surrender of the fortress occurred at midnight, when the Infantry charged and occupied the middle fort of the line of defense. In this operation they took 200 prisoners. The greatest advantage which will come to the allies by the fall of Tslng Tao will be the release of the fleets now before that stronghold. They will be freed to take part in naval activity in other seas. It has been announced that the release of these vessels will be followed by an active campaign to drive the German cruisers which have been raiding shipping in all parts of the world from the high seas. It 1B not known whether the first action will be against the Germans now off the west coast of South America or the Karlsruhe and other raiders In the Indian ocean. Japs Lose 1,078 In Battle.

Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 6.—Officers of the German cruiser Scharnborst expressed the belief that nearly two thousand British officers and sailors had been killed in the naval engagement off Coronet The British cruiser Monmouth, which was sunk, carried a complement of 678 officers and men, and the cruiser Good Hope, the flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, carried 900 officers and men. In addition the British cruiser Glasgow and the transport Otranto were struck by shells from the German ships and damaged. The German cruisers Scharnborst, Gneisenau and the Nurnberg, which came Into this harbor on Sunday night after the engagement, showed but little effect of the fight and Admiral Graf von Spee, commander of the German fleet in the Pacific, reported that only two men had been wounded on the Gneisenau. . German Warship 8unk; 268 Die. London, Nov. 6.—The German cruiser Torek struck a mine and was sunk in Jahde bay, near the mouth of the Weser, and of her crew of 266 officers and men are lost, according to a dispatch received here from Am; sterdam. The scene of the disaster Is near Wilhelmshaven, a German naval base of Importance. The Torek, classed as an armored cruiser, had four 8.2-lnch and ten six-inch guns, 14 24-pounders and four maxims, besides four submerged torpedo tubes. The displacement was 9,050 tons and the length 403 feet. This is the-largest German vessel sunk In this war "Holy War" Is Called. Berlin, Nov. 7.—The Shelk-ul-lBlam, ecclesiastical head of the 220.000,000 Mohammedans in the world, has proclaimed a holy war of Islam against the enemies of Turkey. The significance of this action becomes evident when it is recalled that more than 100,000,000 Mohammedans, or nearly half the total number in the world, are now under English rule. These "Great Victory" for Allies, London, Nov. 7.—"The greatest success gained on the side of the allies since the beginning of the war has been the complete victory oi the Russian army against the Germans in Poland, East Prussia and Galicia," This was the word conveyed to General Joffre and Lord Kitchener in telegrams by Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, commander of the czar's army. "Following our successes upon the Vistula," 'Said the telegramr-*** complete victory has just been gained by our troops along the whole of the front In Galicia. I am most confident of the Bpeedy and entire accomplishment of our common task, persuaded as I am that decisive victory will be gained by the allied armies." This stirring news was followed by dispatches from Petrograd telling of the recapture by the Russians of the Galiclan town of Jaroslav with 5,000 Austrian prisoners. Armies Fail to End Deadlock. Paris, Nov. 7.—The bloody battle between the Germans and the allies in Ihe region between Dixmude and the River Lys is still undecided, according to an official announcement Issued here. Neither of the contestants have been able to break the mighty deadlock. Lille Is In Flames. Fired by the shells of the allies' artillery, Lille is burning in several places. Several villages surrounding that city have been burned to the ground. The fighting in that region of northern France continues night and day, but thus far the Germans have balked the efforts of the allies to drive them from Lille. 1,750,000 Germans Lost. London, Nov. 6.—Hilaire Belloc, war expert in Land and Water, estimates that the German losses up to date amount to about 1,750,000 men. He says that he arrived at these figures by scientific calculations. "I know," he writes, "that the figure looks Btartlingly large, but It would be easy, by a little manipulation to make out much larger totals.

San Francisco, Nov. 7.-That the naval battle off the coast of Chile, the first engagement of which last Sunday V proved so disastrous to the British, has been renewed is indicated in private advices today to prominent British shipping agents here from their correspondents in Valparaiso.

No serious demonstrations of the Mohammedan population are {eared in India. Many Loyal to Britain. The great majority of the followers of Islam there are said to be loyal to Great Britain. This statement Is borne out by the proclamation issued by the Nlsam of Hyderabad, who is perhaps the most Important Moslem potentate In India, calling upon all Moslems in that country to remain loyal to Great Britain. His proclamation reads: "K U the bounden duty of the Mohammedans of India to adhere to their old and tried loyalty to the British government in which power they eajoy the highest personal and religions liberty, such as they would under no Moslem or noa^Mosiem pewor."

(245) STANDARD OIL COMPANY ( & & $ & ) Chicago, DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES Speaker Says Newspapers 8hould Investigate Merits of Medicines Before Barring Advertisements. That an organized attempt has been made to blacken the reputation of the popular family remedies of this country, and to mislead the newspaper publishers Into rejecting the advertising of such medicines, was the charge made by Carl J. Balliett, of Buffalo, N. T., at the convention of the Advertising Affiliation at Detroit Mr. Balliett is a director of the Proprietary Association of America, which includes In its membership two hundred firms which make the popular prepared medicineB of America. Mr. Balliett pointed out that It is the duty of the newspaper publisher to refuse the advertising of any fake or fraudulent medicine, Just as It is his duty to refuse any fake or fraudulent advertising, but it is not right to shut down on all medical advertising becausg, there have been some fakers, any more than it would be right to refuse to publish all department store advertising because certain stores have made^a practice of lying abou^t bargain sales. Disease and death are mysteries. People who are perfectly well are skeptical. They laugh at the timeworn patent medicine Joke, just as they laugh again and again over the many variations of the operation joke 'The operation was a success but the patient died." This so-called httmor has perhaps hurt the medicine business with well people, but when the hitherto healthy man feels a severe pain or illness, he immediately wants medicine, and will bless the cure whether it be at the hands of a regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteopath, a Christian Scientist or patent medicine. There is nothing more deadly than afsease; nothing more honorable than to cure U. Mr. Balliett refuted the idea sought to be spread about that patent medicines are unpopular by showing that from 1900 to 1912 the amount of prepared medicines consumed In America Increased from 1100,000,000 to $160,- 000,000 annually. He showed that, although the American Medical'Association is trying as an organization to exterminate so-called patent medicines, the family doctor, individually, Is not fighting them but prescribing them. He estimated that 40% of the prescriptions written by doctors today include proprietary medicines. The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, he said, have also aimed to destroy confidence in proprietary medicines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are not Infallible is shown by cases where his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr. Balliett mentioned a case where, with all the power of the Government, he fought a preparation as being dangerous to health, and was ingloriously walloped. There has been spread the idea that a clever faker can mix a few useless ingredients and, by smart advertising* sell tons of it and win sudtfen wealth; whereas, as a matter of fact, the medicine business is notoriously difficult and, where there has been one success at it, there have been a hundred failures. Any medicine, which has no merit cannot live, because persons who are duped into buying it once will not buy it again* and the profit from advertising a medicine can only come from repeat sales to the same, satisfled people. Therefore, any medicine which has been on the market for a number of years, and is still advertised, must have mejit behind it to account for its success. In conclusion Mr. Balliett declared that no newspaper is doing justice to Its readers in the matter of medical or other advertising, unless it investigates, not only the wording of the advertisement ottered for publication, but the merits of the article advertised. He pointed out that the few newspapers who have been deluded Into the policy of barring out medical advertising have adopted this general policy, rather than to form an Investigation bureau of this kind which could, In a constructive and useful effort investigate and decide what is a good product and what is a fraud* in not only the medicine business, but In every other business which advertises its wares to the public. The audience seemed to agree with Mr. Balliett's ideas on the subject and the chairman decided the question at issue in his favor. Suburbanite's Woes.

Astrology finds this a day in which tile planetary conditions are comparatively unimportant. Neptune, Mercury Y>, and Uranus are all mildly adverse, while the sun is slightly beneflc in aspect There is a sinister omen tor shipping, which may be Imperiled even more than in the past. Bad weather i s prognosticated and loss through a t o m s as well as in the fortunes of war is foretold. In this connection it Will be recalled that the prognostications of wholesale drownings made In the spring haVe been strangely ful- \ filled. It is not a fortunate time for contracts and agreements of sort, for unexpected events will make difficult the carrying out of plans of commercial importance. It is prophesied, however, that merchants and bankers will reap large rewards after many anxieties, but they will have to cope with the unexpected. Uranus is in a place held to indicate a temporary cessation of research and study in abstract science and In abstruse philosophies-. The stars presage better times for France. Neptune has entered the ruling sign of the country and "protection and gradual access of power" are foreshadowed. There is a sinister sign for an Ameri- -can, who has held exalted positions. He will surrender prestige and become unpopular because of ill-advised and impetuous acts and utterances. This month will be exceedingly unlucky for aim and he will suffer severely from mental and physical conditions. Again a great national feminist movement is presaged by the stars. This is not political, the seers declare. Persons whose birthdate it is have the prognostication of change that will bring success, and prosperity. Children born on this day will enjoy life. They may be high-spirited and headstrong, but they will be able to dominate circumstances and to command success. ' FRIDAY, NOVEMBER-M, 1914. vu - * - * « «•.', f "<• -vU- - • S *r He who works early will best succeed today according to the prognostications of the astrologers. Although Saturn exercises an evil influence before daybreak, Mars, Uranus, Mercury and Venus are in beneflc aspect in the morning hours of work. In the afternoon the sun is adverse. It is held that the planets presage a winter of great trial to the peopto of all nations, who will suffer poverty and^ illness. The seers agree on general predictions of distress, but a London astrologer sees that again Daniel's prophecy Is to be fulfilled and that a certain king shall see his kingdom "broken and divided to the four winds and not to his posterity nor acording to his dominion which he ruled for his kingdom." .There is an encouraging sign for women today. In business and professional affairs they should benefit They will organize in new enterprises and will accomplish much for the benefit of humanity in the next year. Romance is subject to most encouraging conditions. The stars Indicate a - growth of sentiment and return to less mercenary standards of marriage than have prevailed recently. Advertising is governed favorably during this configuration. Publicity should be profitable to promoters of world interests, , The afternoon is not a fortunate time.for diplomacy or for seeking aid *or advice from persons In high place. Dealers in hardware, hunters, fishermen and woodsmen are subject to kicky guidance today. Among those on whom Mars smiles are arcUUects, stonemasons, carpenters, launderers and tobacconists. Conquerors and tyrants should be aided by the stars as. they are posited ^ daring this day, which is not lortunata to* those who have -;isi their SySidte). ^ _q»eeee fr**nftf agamtt sinister u* : ' ; # « a S e j | s ; , ^ J » ^ i J | ^ ^ t h e a a . ^ e i T u l a ':. >:-::.'"'- • :" ;;>'••' ";•''£'.••— •'.; ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ W ^ i k ^ f*l T eompUcatkm that can be i * m ^ * ^ *** diplomats. of Mars when In malefic sway. Much competition In all vocations is foretold, but out of great exigencies will grow large achievements. Actors, singers, painters and sculptors should benefit in the morning. They have the prognostication of prosperous days after the new year is becoming old. There 1B a prophecy that the United States will become the new center of artistic life and that music will claim serious attention from the nation. Theaters are under a government of the stars, which presages many changes In the personnel of managers and players. The outlook Is not good for American actors this month or next, but there is promise of ultimate gain in the development of new forces now artwork. Under this sign preparers of medicine are believed to prosper. There is a prediction that American chemists are to win fame and fortune. Fame for a woman who will dictate the fashions is prophesied, but whether she will succeed as a designer or merely as a demonstrator of modes is not made plain by the seers. Astrologers who read the signs for South America find little forecast of rapidly Increasing trade with the United States, which will be slow to utilize opportunity, it Is declared. Bankers are subject to planetary sway which is said to indicate obstacles and problems of grave character. Socialism Is, well, a specter. It will gather astonishing power, the seers declare,- owing to a still-unwritten page of history, which is to change public opinion. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of rather a prosperous year. There is a warning agalnBt possible indiscretion in dealings w*th persons of opposite sex. Children born on this day are likely to enjoy life. Boys should be successful in whatever vocations they choose. Girls probably will be great belles... 8UNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1914. This Is a day of contradictory influences, according to astrology. While Neptune, Saturn and Uranus are all adverse, Venus and the sun are in ben efio aspect. Mars changes from evil to good. The best aspect of the day is for earnest, enthusiastic minds that seek to solve big —problems. The sun gives domination, power, vigor and foresight. Rulers and all who have the destinies of nations in their keeping should benefit. It is a fairly good day for women, who should be fortunate In their love affairs. Marriages and engagements are subject to a good ruling. Neptune presages danger from schemers. Fraud and misrepresentation are believed to flourish under this rule. It is predicted that crimes that have to do with money will multiply during the winter. Uranus is in place held to be most ^unfortunate for those who should use good judgment. Important decisions should be delayed until a more auspicious time. The planets do not give any assurance of speedy ending of war. There is prophecy of a winter campaign more terrible than any that has ever been endured. The seers declare that the crossing of the Alps by Napoleon's army produced less suffering than will be endured during the coming winter. Persons whose birthdate It is are advised to avoid too much diversion. have a prosperous yetr. Those who are employed will 'benefit The young will become engaged or will marry. Children born on this day may have dispositions that are mercurial and difficult to deal with, but they will have bright minds and should succeed In life.

According to the reading of the stars, this is rather an unimportant day. Jupiter is In beneflc aspect, but Saturn is adverse, and it is wise to exercise caution. The rule is fairly good for bankers, merchants, and lawyers, who should find the day's activities important chiefly because they lead taJ>roadened fields of industry. The Panama canal Is subject to a role that will cause added anxiety, it i s said, for new problems will be presented by conditions that follow the war.

Persons whose blithdate It Is have the augury of a successful year. Both men and women will prosper financially. Young persons will have romances. Children born on this day should prosper all through life. They will enjoy work as well as play. Boys should like outdoor sports and have great physical strength. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1914. This is rather an unfortunate day, for while in the early hours. Mercury and Saturn are in beneflc aspect, the sun and Venus are strongly adverse later. It is a most unlucky time for seeking positions or for attempting any enterprise depending upon the assistance of men in power, financially or commercially. Women are warned to be cautious. The planets indicate that the next few months will not be favorable to feminist movements or to agitation along reform lines. Astrologers hold that, owing to the great loss of men in the European war, women will be forced into prominence in many lines of work, but they foresee danger in any tendency to force great issues. The death of a woman prominent in society and philanthropic activities is foretold. She has attained world-wide fame, it Is said, and her loss will be mourned in other countries. Saturn today gives encouragement to agriculturists, florists, miners and all who find wealth in the ground. The new year will bring prosperity to all who sell land, or till It, the seers declare. It le an exceedingly unlucky day for love affairs. Domestic conditions are likely to be disturbed while this rule prevails. Vanity, Indulgence in useless luxuries, and selfishness are believed to be produced in persons susceptible to the influence of Venus, when the star is unfriendly. Self-control Bhould be practiced while the government prevails. Jupiter is believed to presage the passing of laws favorable to labor and industry, but strikes are foretold. Persons whose birthdate it is may have worries in the family circle. Men should be wise in conducting their affairs. Children born on this day have rather a menacing omen. They may often need money, and they will demand much of life. These subjects of Sagittarius should be honorable, persevering, and not easily discouraged •A* WEDNE8DAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1914» Good and evil balance in the scales today, according to the reading of the stars. While Mercury is in a place strongly beneflc in its influence, Mars rules stubbornly for evil. Neptune is slightly adverse and Jupiter rather favorable. Editors, publishers and advertisers should benefit while this configuration lasts.

Again the rise of a new poet is prognosticated, and the beginning of a great epoch in American letters. / Young persons are believed to be especially fortunate when Mercury rules. Astrologers declare that the future will give them greater opportunities than have been enjoyed by any gen* eration. The year in the colleges will be most extraordinary in good, influences, it Is prognosticated. This should be a fortunate day for the presentation of any musical or artistic entertainment. The planetary influences are believed to produce a receptive, responsive frame of mind on the part of audiences. Soldiers are under a malign rale today. Suffering from weather conditions, disease and famine, as well as peril from shot and shell,- are indicated for this week- Mexico's stars are still threatening, and there Is little; promise of lasting peace tor many months.

"My husband is missing," declared the stern-faced woman, marching into the police station.- "Indeed!" "Yes, indeed. He's been missing since yesterday. Don't stand staring; make a note of it. Since yesterday, I say!" "I'm sorry, ma'am." "When I want your sympathy I'll ask for it. Till then be good enough to keep your mouth shut. Now, where is my husband?" "How should I know?" "You ought to know. What are you paid for? Where is he? Have you no clues?" "Well, ma'am, I have—" "Have you any clues—yes or no, quickly?" "Yes, ma'am; I think I have one." "Out with it. What is it? Come, don't keep me waiting." "Well, ma'am, I think I—I think I know why your husband left home." CLERK DESERVED THE ROSE His Process of Clever Reasoning Was Certainly Well Worth the Decoration. When a telegram arrived at the Waldorf addressed to Mrs. S. Harkins, Edward Glasheen, the information clerk, looked through his .big book and found no person by the name of Harkins was stopping in the hotel. It is a part of his duties, according to the New York Times, to deliver telegrams that at first look undeliverable, and as he studied the address on the telegram, knowing something about the Morse alphabet, he remembered that "h" is four dots and a "p" is five. Whereupon he looked into his big book again and found that Mrs. S. Parkins was stopping in the hotel. When Mrs. Parkins came t o the desk he handed her the telegram and asked if it was for her. She handed it back. "I am sure it is t o t for me," she said. "Would you mind opening and making sure," asked Glasheen. Mrs. Parkins tore open the envelope and glanced at the signature. "Why, It is for me!" she exclaimed. Then Glasheen picked up the rose somebody had just presented to John Woelfle, his assistant, and stuck it In his buttonhole. Many a man walks around and runs a risk at-the same time. You may whitewash a man's character without washing it white.

Impressions at the end are those of some great industrial undertaking, with powerful machinery in full operation and endless supply tra'ins bringing up the raw materials for fabrication rather than of war as pictured. Sees Battle From Hillside. From a point of observation on a hillside above St. Mlhlel, the great battlefield on which a German army Is endeavoring to break through the line of barrier forts between Verdun and Toul, and the opposing French forces could be surveyed In its entirety." In the foreground lay the level valley of the Mouse with the towns, of St. Mihiel and Bannoncour nestling upon the green landscape. Beyond and behind the valley rose a tier of hills, on which the French obstinately hold an intrenched position, checking the point of the German wedge, while French forces from north and south beat upon the sides of the triangle trying to force it back across the Meiise and out from the vitals of the French fortress line. Bursting shells threw up their columns of white or black fog around the edge of the panorama. Cloudlets of white smoke here and there showed where a position was being brought under shrapnel fire. An occasional aeroplane could be picked out, hovering over the lines, but the infantry and the field battery positions could not be discerned, even with a highpower field glass, so cleverly had the armies taken cover. Reaches Zone of Ruin. A few miles beyond Gorze the French frontier was passed and from this point on the countryside, with its deserted farms, rotting shocks of wheat, and uncut fields of grain, trampled down by infantry and scarred with trenches, excavations for batteries, and its pits caused by exploding shells, showed war's devastating heel prints. At St. Benolt a party of some three hundred French prisoners was encountered, waiting outside headquarters. They were all fine young fellows, in striking contrast to the elderly reservist type which predominates In the German prison camps. They were evidently elite troops of the line and were treated almost with deference by their guards, a detachment of bearded landwehr men from South Germany. They were the survivors of the garrison of the Roman camp fort who had put up such a desperate and spirited defense as to win the whole-hearted admiration and respect of the German officers and men. f Held Out to Bitter End. Their guns had been silenced and trenches were pushed up by an overwhelming force of pioneers and infantry to within five yards of their works before they retreated from the advanced intrenchments to the casements of the fort Here they maintained a stout resistance and refused every summons to surrender. Hand grenades were brought up, bound to a backing of boards, and exploded against the openings of the casements, filling these with showers of steel splinters. Volunteers, creeping up to the dead angle of the casements where the fire of the defenders 'could not reach them, directed smoke tubes and stinkpots against apertures In the citadel, filling the rooms with suffocating smoke and gases. "Have you had enough?" they were asked, after the first smoke treatment "No," was the defiant answer. The treatment was repeated a second and third time, the response to the demand for surrender each time growing weaker until finally the defenders were no longer able to raise their rifles and the fort was taken. Saluted by Foes. When the survivors of the plucky garrison were able to march out revived by the fresh air, they found their late opponents presenting arms before them In recognition of their gallant ftand. They were .granted the most 7 honorable terms of surrender, their eAoers were allowed to retain their *rwor4s and on their march toward an honorable captivity they were everywketv greeted with expressions of re- «peet and admiration. -. Beyond Bt Benolt and Cote Lorj* atne * range of wooded hills running ftorth; and south along the east bank J <0f the Mease rises m steeply terraced French line of fortresses beyond the Mouse. The French had fortified these slopes with successive rows of trenches, permitting line above line of Infantry to fire against an advancing enemy. For days a desperate struggle was waged for the possession of the heights, which was imperative for the German campaign against the line of fortresses. The correspondent had no opportunity to inspect at close range the 16%• inch guns, the "growlers" of Liege, Namur, and other fortresses, which Krupp and the German army uncovered as the surprise of this war. Sees Battery lq* Action. Their smaller sisters >w$e less coy. A dismounted battery 'of the intermediate caliber, details of which are not for publication, was encountered by the roadside awaiting repairs to the heavy traction engine in whose train it travels in sections along the country roads, while the German 8¼-inch (21 centimeter) and the Austrian 12« inch (30.5 centimeter) batteries were seen in action. The heavy German battery lay snug* ly hid in a wood on the rolling heights of the Cote Lorraine. Better off than the French, whose aviators had for four days repeatedly scrutinized every acre of land in the vicinity looking for these guns, we had fairly accurate directions how to find the battery, but even then it required some search and doubling back and forth before a languid cannoneer, lounging by the roadside, pointed with thumb over shoulder toward the hidden guns. These and the artiUerymen were enjoing their midday rest, a pause which sets in every day with the regularity of the luncheon hour in a factory. The guns, two in this particular position, stood beneath a screen of thickly branching trees, the muzzles pointing toward round openings in this leafy roof. Fires Two Exhibition 8hots. It was the noon pause, but the lieutenant in charge of the guns, anxious to show them off to advantage, volunteered to telephone the battery commander, in his observation post four miles nearer the enemy, for permission to fire a shot or two against a village in which French troops were gathering for the attack. This bat* tery just had finished with Les Paroc hes, a French barrier fort across the Meuse, and was not devoting its attention to such minor tasks. Soon the orderly reported that the battery commander authorized two shots against the village in question. At command the gun crew sprang to their posts about the mortar, which was already adjusted for its target, a little less than six miles away, the gun muzzle pointing skyward at an angle of about sixty degrees. As the gun was fired the projectile could be seen and followed in Its course for several hundred feet . Before the report died away the crew were busy as bees about the gun. One man with the hand elevating gear rapidly cranked the barrels down to a level position ready for loading. A second threw open the breech and ex* tracted the brass cartridge case, carefully wiping it out before depositing it among the empties; four more seized the heavy shell and lifted it to cradle opposite the breech, a seventh rammed it home; number eight gingerly Inserted the brass cartridge, half filled with a vaselinelike explosive, the breech was closed, and the gun pointer rapidly cranked the gun again into position. In less than thirty seconds the men sprang back from the gun, again loaded and aimed. 8eeond Shot Fires Village. A short wait and the observer from his post near the village ordered "next shot, 60 meters nearer." The gun pointer made the slight correction > necessary, the mortar again sent its shell purring through the air against the village, wtoich this time, It was learned, broke Into flames, and while the men went back to their noonday rest the lieutenant explained the fine point* of his beloved guns. One man, as has been seen, could manipulate the elevation gear with one hand easily and quickly; ten of his horses could take the mortar, weighing eight tons, anywhere; it could fire up to 500 shots per day. He was proud of the skillful concealment of his guns, which Bad been firing for four days from the same position without being discovered; although French aviators had located all the sister batteries, all of which had suffered Ion from shrapnel Are. Along the roadside through the Cote Lorraine were here and there graves with rude crosses and penciled inscriptions. At the western edge of the forest the battle panorama of the Meuse vstttey suddenly opened-out, the hflls tailing away again steeply to the level valley bed.

RELICS TO BE PRESERVED Mexican Authorities Make Discoveries of Parts of Bodies of Maximilianand His Generals. The heart of Gen. Tomas Mejia and fragments of the bodieB of Emperor Maximilian and General Miramon. all of whom were executed together on the Cerro de las -Campas, just outside the city of Queretaro, when Maximilian surrendered there to the forces of President Juarez, were found recently in a search which was made by the constitutionalist authorities of the library of the house of Luis Garcia Pimentel, in Call© de Donceles, No. 68. The house of Garcia Pimentel is at present occupied by General Davlla Sanchez. When the constitutionalist authorities were going through the library of this residence, taking an inventory of what they found there, they came upon the grewsome relics, which were carefully preserved. The heart of Mejia and the portions of the body of the emperor and his other trusted general had been kept, it is said, by Doctor Liceoga, who performed the autopsy upon the bodies after their execution, and acquired from him by Garcia Pimentel as relies. They probably will be donated to a museum, it is said, by the authorities.— Mexican Herald. ITCHING BURNING ECZEMA R. F. D.

In this age of co-operation, in which manufacturing and commercial interests hav3 attained wonderful. development and success by merging their resources, it is not to be wondered at that co-operation has slowly but inevitably wended its way into rural life. The old method of individualism is gradually giving way to the cooperative spirit and the resuit is a greatly reduced cost of living and expense of farming. Michigan farmers are leading the co-cperative-< movement and it i s gradually being extended into every feature of community life. Egypt'* Flood Tim*. June 15 Is In Egypt nn anxious time, for then It la thatfthere cornea the first Indication of the annual flood. Tbe amount of the rise has been accurately recorded every yfear from 3000 B. C. to the present time, for there Is only a foot or two between starvation and plenty, and between plenty and devastation. The rise is recorded by the nilometer constructed by the Caliph Mutawakhul more than ten centuries ago, on the Island of Rhoda, opposite Cairo. A square well, from the water of which rises a marble column, is connected with the river by a canal. As the water rises more of the pillar Is hidden.

It is about time for someone to start an investigation to learn the reason why so many silos are falling down. Anyone who has occasion to read the various country weekly newspapers is astonished at the number of wood and concrete silos that are reported falling over. It would be found perhaps that the reason in most cases embraced the old causes, oheap labor and cheqp materials. The farmer should know that he can not get j o o d work and good goods unless he-pays for them. If he intends to invest in a silo let him get the best that money can boy and let it be erected by the most responsible man i s the business. In such a ease the farmer will never be sorry.

The stout lady struggled with dim culty into the railway carriage. "Ah," she gasped, "that door might ha' been made by Old Sam." She paused for breath, and then, says the Manchester Guardian, proceeded to explain herself. "You see, Old Sam was one of them chaps 'oo'd getten on. Went from a three an' six cottage to a big 'onse. But 'is missis wasn't used to a big 'ouse and spent all 'er.time in kitchen wf V servants. Old Sam didn't like this, but 'e never argued wi' wimmen. Now, she was stout, like me. So he takes her away to Blackpool, and while they was away he'd the kitchen door built up narrer, so 't' servants could get in and out, but not f misses. That did »er, that did."

In ancient days it was too general belief that ravens lived longer than any species of birds, and It was said that their age frequently exceeded a century. Recent studies of the subject indicate that no authentic Instance of a raven surpassing seventy years of age Is on record. But parrots have been known to live one hundred years. There is also a record of a golden eagle which died at Scbonbrunn at the age of 118] another was keplln {Tie Vower of London for ninety years, while a third died at Vienna aged 104 years.

It Is difficult nowadays, with oar modern serviceable rifle before us, to believe {hat as recently as 1572 the sling figured as a weapon of the battlefield. In 1702 a ftatch was shot at Pacton Green between an archer and a musketeer, in which the archer succeeded in sending sixteen out, of twenty shots into the target to,the musketeer's dozen. The dragon was the name of the firearm with which the original dragoon regiments were armed. It had a barrel only sixteen inches in length, and the muzsle was like "a gaping serpent's mouth." The carabineers^ derived their name from a short firearm originally used by the Irregular cavalry of the Moors. The arquebus of Charles I.'s time had a barrel only sixteen inches long and weighed about fifteen pounds in alL In the trial of the first percussion muskets against the flintlock 6,000 rounds were fired from each. The official record was 022 misfires against the flintlock; percussion musket, thirty-two misfires,— London Answers. What the Robin Eats. In the northern aud southern parts of the west the robin is among the most cherished of native birds. It is an omnivorous feeder, and its food includes many orders of Insects as well as earth worms, but 58 per cent of its food is derived from vegetable matter, the principal item being fruit The general usefulness of the bird Is such, however, that protecting orchards and fruit should be tried before the policy of killing them is determined on.

RUSSIAN AEROPLANE CAPTURED BY .THE GERMANS London—Turkey has ignored Great Britain's note of last Friday pertaining to hostilities in the Black sea, which means that the Ottoman empire is at war with the Allies. The Ambassadors of England, France and Russia demanded their passports Saturday night and left Constantinople Sunday. A dispatch from .Rome states that Italy is aflame with war clamor and the populace is demanding action. Counting Portugal, but not Italy, there are now eleven powers at war. That three more will be drawn in, and shortly, is the general opinion. These are Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania. The note which Great Britain presented to Turkey on Friday was really an ultimatum to which Turkey was required to make a reply by Saturday evening. Turkish troops, which had been on the Egyptian border for some time, already are reported to have crossed the frontier, while the Turkish fleet continues to menace Russian towns and shipping in the Black sea. Reedy to Oppose Invasion. Neither Russia nor Great Britain was unprepared for this move by Turkey, which, government officials say, was known to have been under the influence of Germany, and the allied powers have forcee on hand ready to oppose a Turkish invasion When the regular forces were drawn from Egypt to take part in the war in Europe, they were immediately replaced by troops from home, The problem both for England and Russia, however, is the attitude of their Moslem subjects who, under ordinary circumstances, would prefer not to fight against Turkey. In this war, however, they have rallied to their flag as have all other races under British or Russian rules and care is being taken to explain to them that In this case Turkey, under the direction of Germany, has been the aggressor. Another problem relates to the attitude of Roumanla, Bulgaria and Greece. Bulgaria, owing her existence to Russia, and being under obligations to Great Britain, besides being desirous of obtaining Thrace as far east as the Enos-Mldia line, which she was awarded by the London conferences after, the first Balkan war, but which Turkey retook when Bulgaria was attacked by Greece and Servia, would naturally side with the Entente powers. It objects, however, political observers point out, to fighting side by side with Greece and Servia, j Russia, however, is expected to ask Bulgaria definitely on what side she is ranged, as her mere neutrality under the circumstances appears insufficient Should she join the Austrians and Germans, Rumania is almost certain to declare for the Allies, and Greece even before this-may decide to take her revenge on Turkey. Says Russia Was Aggressor. Berlin—An official Turkish report forwarded from Constantinople by the correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung says that the Russians opened hostilities October 28 by firing upon a portion of the Turkish fleet after having for some time interfered with the evolutions of the warships. Describing the naval action in the Black sea, which was said to be continuing at the time of the announcement, the report says: "The Turkish fleet sank the Russian mine layer Prat, which was carrying several hundred mines, the torpedo boat destroyer Kubanets, captured a collier and severely damaged * coast defens* ship.** f/ wSiwtf.'iiffl »> w^St.^twf tN&mli/Ki+f&'t' German transport removing a Russian aeroplane captured oy General von Hlndenburg at Lotzen.

Sf Sultan Can Put . Large Army, Commanded by Germane, Into the Field —Belgians Open Dykee and Drive Germane From Trenchee—Russians Win In Poland—Cruiser Emden 8lnke Two of Enemy's Warships. London, Oct 31.—Two Russian cities weje bombarded by ships under the Turkish flag. The Breslau, late of the German navy, shelled Theodosla, in the Crimea, an unfortified port The Hamidieh of the Turkish navy bombarded Novotosysk, further east than Theodosla, east of the entrance to the Sea of Azov. This makes the tenth nation in the war! Six hundred German officers have arrived in Turkey since the war began. They brought siege guns, field guns and ammunition with them. A German colonel, Weber Pasha, took command of the Dardanelles forts, and big German guns were mounted in them. All the fortifications of the Bosphorus have been overhauled, a large number of mines laid down along the coasts of Asia Minor, especially in and around Smyrna, which is fortified, and to the north of Smyrna intrenchments have been dug to repel any possible attack by land. It is computed that Turkey has from 600,009 to 700,000 men ready to take the field. The German officers put the number at 900,000. The action of Turkey marks the long-expected entry of that nation Into the war, her animus being particularly directed against Russia. The longsustained neutrality of the Ottoman empire finally was broken under German pressure. Russian and French 8hlps 8unk. London, Nov. 1^-Turkey has followed its initial hostile acts in bombarding two Russian cities by attacking Russian and French ships without loss of time. Following is a summary of events which have succeeded each other rapidly as a result of the decision of the ports to enter the war. Turkish gunboats raided the port of Odessa, bombarded the suburbs of the town, sank the Russian gunboat Don* ets, killing all her crew, and damaged the Russian steamers Lasareff, Witias and Whampoa and the. French liner Portugal. Cruiser Goeben torpedoed and sank the Russian steamers Yalta and Kas» bek in the Black sea, drowning 78 passengers and crew. The Russian am- Jtassador to Constantinople has been withdrawn. The British envoy, Ambassador Mallet, has Informed the grand vizier on behalf of his government that if the Turks cross the frontier of Egypt it will mean war with the powers. Russian troops have been mobilized on the Turkish frontier. Turkey is mobilizing cavalry divisions on the Red sea. Italy's hand is expected soon to be forced. France has looked to Italy to dominate the Balkans, and in the present crisis with Turkey's army, numbering between 700,000 and 900,- 000, thrown into the conflict, she cannot do so by continuing her neutral position. Greece is also likely to enter the war at once. She will, of course, oppose her ancient enemy, the Turks. Roumanla probably will do likewise. Water Drives Germans From Trenches. London, Nov. 1.—The German forces in the lower Yser valley in Belgium have been compelled to retreat according to an official announcement issued here. The Belgians opened the dykes in the valley and the Germans were compelled to withdraw from the flood of water that ' poured forth against them. As the Germans retreated they were shelled by the Belgians. Lille is reported to have been recaptured by the allies. Ostend is said-to have been evacuated by the Germans. Thousands of dead and wounded were left on the field when the Germans finally were driven back, and the trenches of the troops commanded by Field Marshal Sir John French held both German and French dead, for they had been taken and retaken repeatedly during the two days' encounter. Soldiers from southern Flanders and 11,000 marines from the garrison hear Heyst are being rushed to Zeebrugge. The only explanation suggested is that the British are landing or attempting to land troops on the Bet gian coast back of the German lines. The Germans have reoccupied Tournhout, Belgium. . Fall Back Before Russians. Berlin, Oct. 29 (by wireless via London.)— In Poland, after several days of fighting, during which all Russian \ attacks were successfully repulsed, the German-Austrian forces were obliged to retreat before new Russian advances from Warsaw, Ivangorod and Novoe Goergiecsk. The Russians have for the time being abandoned the pursuit Germans Sink Three Wsrshlps. Paris, Oct. 30.—The German cruiser Emden, the terror of the Pacific ocean, has made another successful raid, according to advices received from the British embassy at Tokyo. Flying the Japanese flag and disguised by the addition of a fourth smokestack, she audaciously stole under the guns of the fort and entered Georgetown, the harbor of the island of Penang, the British possession in the Straits Settlements, fired torpedo* which destroyed the Russian cruiser Jemptchug and a French torpedo destroyer and escaped through the Straits of Malacca. More than two hundred members of the crews of the warships were killed. De Wet Heads Revolt. London, Oct. M.—Gen. Christian De Wet, the last of the Boer generals to surrender during the Boer war of 1900, and Gen. Christian Frederick Beyers, who resigned as commander of the British defense forces of the Union of South Africa last month, are leading an army of Boer burghers in revolt against the British in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, according to an announcement by the official press bureau of the war office. Botha Punishes Rebels. London, Oct. 31.—The following official statement was issued tonight regarding the rebillion in the Union of South Africa. "General Botha reports that he left Rustenberg (a district in the west part of the Transvaal colony) on Tuesday morning and proceeded in the direction in which Gen.. Christian Beyers with his commando, was supposed to be. "He came in touch with General Beyers' men in the forenoon and drove them, in headlong rout, the whole of the day and captured 80 of them fully armed."

Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. "My mother/ since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and (complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavour of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning i t He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was oyer, I bought a package to carry borne with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's con* ditlon, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and-had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This* continued until she was well and hearty. T know Postum has benefited m y - self and the other members-of the family, hut not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."

The keeper was working over hie report in the office. The other members of the crew were upstairs asleep, and Abe and Samuel were bearing each other company In the messroom. Abe lay asleep on the carpet-covered sofa which had been dragged but of the captain's room for him, so that the old man need not spend the night in the cold sleeping-loft above.. He was fully dressed except for bis boots; for he was determined to con* form to the rules of the service, and sleep with his clothes on ready for instant duty. ' 'Talk erbout him a-dyln'!M growled Samuel to himself, lounging wearily in a chair beside the stove. "He's jest startin' bis life. He's a regular boss. I didn't think he had it in him/ i Samuel's tone was resentful.. He was a little jealous of the distinction which had been made between him and Abe; and drawing closer to the lire, he shivered in growing distaste for the cot assigned to him with the crew upstairs, where the white frost lay on the window latches. What uncomfortable chairs they had In' this station! Samuel listened to the mooing of the breakers, to the wind rattling at the- caeements—and wondered if Blossy had missed him. About this time she must he sitting in her chintz-covered rocker, combing out the ringlets of her golden-white hair in the cheery firelight Now, thai would be a sight worth seeing! Abe opened his mouth and began to snore. What disgusting, hideous creatures men were, reflected Samuel. Six months' living with an unusually high-bred woman had raaeneibly raised his standards. Why should he spend a week of his ever-shortening life with such Inferior beings, just for Abraham's sake—for Abraham's sake, and to bear out a theory of his own, which he had already concluded a mistake? Abe gave a snort, opened his eyes, and muttered sleepily: "This is what I call a A No. 1 spree. Naow, termor* rer—" But. mumbling Incoherently he relapsed into slumber, puffing bis lips out into a whistling sound.

Interval, two" on hie left {oren&ger, "three" on the middle digit, and so on, giving fame tar thought to each number, <nntil he had exhausted the fingers of his left hand and was ready to start on the right Count, count, went on Samuel, unto thrift* five was nagged, an* he began • v A 'StsaV ^•AAfsBBBBAff* ~ Onoe more Abe awoke, and iaenlred t i k e ether wet* trtfn* to jroofcon the number of new wigwags and signals which the service had acquired since they had worked for the government; but on being sharply told to "Shot up!" went to sleep again. What the projector of the trip was really trying to recall was how many times that day he had regretted saving Abe from the devastating clutches of the old ladles. "Him need hardenln'7" muttered Samuel blackly. "Why, he's harder now 'n nails an' hardtack!" Again he ran over on bis fingers the list of high crimes and misdemeanors of which vAbfl had been guilty. First—thumb; left hand—Abe had insisted on extending their scooter sail until he, Samuel, had felt his toes freezing in his boots. Second—forefinger, left hand—on being welcomed by the entire force at Bleak Hill and asked how long they expected to stay, Abe had blurted out, "A hull week," explaining that Samuel's rule requiring at least seven days of exile from his wife every eix months barred them from returning in teas time. The keeper was a widower, all the other men were bachelors. How could they be expected to understand T They burst into a guffaw of laughter, and Abe, not even conscious that he had betrayed a sacred confidence, sputtered and laughed with the res{. Samuel had half a mind to return tomorrow, "jest to spite 'em." Let's see, how many days of this plagued week were left? Six. Six whole twenty-four hours away from Blossy and his snug, warm, comfortable nest She wasn't used to keepln' house by herself, neither. Would she remember to wind .the clock on Thursday, and feed the' canary, and water the abutllon and begonias reg'lar? Grimly Samuel took up offense No. 8. Abraham had further told the men that he had been brought over here for a hardening process; but he was willing to bet that if Samuel could keep up with him, he could keep up with Samuel. Then followed offense on offense. Was Samuel to be outdone on his own one-time field of action by an old Jadiee* darling? No! When Abe sat for a half-hour in the lookout, up in the freezing, cold cupola, and did duty "jest to be smart," Samuel sat there on top of his own, feet, too. When Abe helped drag out the apparatus cart over the heavy sands for the drill, Samuel helped, too. And how tugging at that rope brought back his lumbago! When Abe rode In the breecheebuoy, Samuel insisted on playing the sole survivor of a shipwreck, too, and went climbing stiffly and hunberingly up the practise mast Abraham refused to take a nap after dinner; so did SamueL Abe went down to the outdoor carpenter shop in the grove and planed a board just for the love of exertion. Samuel planed two boards and drove a nail. "We've got two schoolboys with us," said the keeper and the crew. "Bt I'd a-knowed that yew had more lives *n my Maltese eat," Samuel was muttering over Abe by this time, 'I'd—" Count, count went Captain Darby's fingers. He heard the keeper rattling papers in the office just across the threshold, heard him say he was about to turn in, and guessed Samuel had better do likewise; but Samuel kept on counting. Count, count went the arraigning fingers. Gradually he grew drowsy, but still he went over and over poor Abe's offenses, counting on until of a sudden he realised that he waa no longer numbering the sins of his companion; he was measuring in minutes the time he must spend away from Blossy and Twin Coves, and the begonias and the canary and'the eat What would Blossy say if she could feel the temperature of the room in which he was supposed' to sleep? What would,Blossy say if she knew how his back ached? Whatever would Blossy do to Abe Rose if she could suspect how he had tuckered out her "old man?" "He's a regTar boat," brooded, SamueL "Oh, my feet!" grabbing at his right boot T H bet yer all I got it's them air chilblains. That's what," he added, unconsciously speaking aloud. Abe's lids slowly lifted* He rubbed bis eyes and yawned. He turned his head on bis hard, Moo ginghanveoTered pillow, and stared sleepily at the other. "Tew been soddtaf, Baml? Aint gittin' sleepy already, are ysrr He glanced at the dock. "Why, it's only •pSswst sjPejpSSw sBj»SBja^e , SB^BB\S*S ^erssiesfs* ssv sje^Sw oevests>Sj^psJ with me an' yew goto' west ter No. 6? Leetle breath «' fresh alrll make us sleep splendid." He started up from the couch, but dropped back, too heavy with weakness to carry off his bravado. Samuel, however, not noticing the discrepancy between speech and action, was already at the door leading upstairs. "Yew don't drag me out o' this station ternlght, Abe Rose. Tew're a reg'lar hoss; that's what yew be. A reg'lar hoss! A reg'lar—a reg'lar—" He flung open the door and went trudging as fast as his smarting feet could carry him up the steep and narrow steps, wherein the passing of other feet for many years had worn little hollows on either Bide. Abraham limped from the couch to the door himself, and called after him: "Sam'I, don't yew want tew sleep by the fire? Tew seem a leetle softer than I be. Let me come upstairs." There was no answer beyond the vicious slamming of Samuel's boots upon the floor above. Abe raised his voice strain, and now came in answer a roar of wroth from the cot next \o Samuel's. "Go to bed!" shouted No. 6, a burly, red-headed Irishman. "Go,to bed wid ye! Th' young folks do be nadin' a little schlape!" the table, the empty dishes, the two members of the crew sleeSJiy jocular, with their blue flannel elbows spread over the board, the old man's rumpled bed, and his brilliant cheeks and bright eyes. "Boys, you shouldn't have woke up Cap'n Rose," he said reprovingly. "I'm afraid, sir," turning to Abraham, "that you find our manners pretty rough after your life among the old ladies." Abe dropped his eyes In confusion. Was he never to be rid of thoBe apron strlngB?" "Well, there's worse things than good women," proceeded the captain. "I wish we had a few over here." He i CHAPTER XVI. "A Reg'lar Hoss." Abe flung himself back on his hard couch, drew the thick, gray blanket over him, and straightway fell Into a deep, childlike slumber from which he was aroused by the rough but hearty inquiry: "Say, Cap, like to have some Oyster stew and a cup of coffee?" Abe sat up, rubbing his eyes, wondering since when they had begun to serve oyster stew for breakfast on the beach; then he realized that he he bad not overslept and that it was not morning. The clock was striking twelve, the midnight patrol was just going out and the returning "runners" were bidding him partake of the food they had just prepared to cheer them after their cold tramp along the surf. The old man whiffed the smell of the coffee, tempted, yet withheld by the thought of Angy's horror, and the horror of the twenty-nine sisters. "Cap'n Abe"—Clarence Havens, No. 5, with a big Iron spoon In his hand and a blue gingham apron tied around his bronzed neck, put him on his mettle, however—"Cap'n Abe, I tell yew, we wouldn't have waked no other fellow of your age out of a Bound sleep. Cap'n Darby, he .could snooze till doomsday r but we kriowed you wouldn't want to miss no fun agoing." "Cap'n Sam'I does show his years," Abe admitted. "Much obliged fer yew a-wakin' me up, boys," as be drew on his boots. "I was dreamln' I was hungry. Law, I wish I had a dollar apiece for all the eyester stews I've et on this here table 'twlxt sunset an' sunrise." Under the stimulus of the unaccustomed repast Abe expanded and began to tell yarnB of the old days on the beach—the good old days. His cheeks grew red, his eyes sparkled. He smoked and leaned back from the table, and ate and drank, smoked and ate again. "A week amongst yew boys," he asserted gaily, "is a-goin' tew be the makin' of me. Haow Saml kin waste so much time in sleep I can't understand." "I dont think he is asleep," said No. 3. "When I was upstairs jest now fer my slippers, I heard, him kind o' sniffln' inter his piller.

"Since they made the rule that the men must eat and Bleep in the station it's been pretty lonely. That's why there's so many young fellows in the service nowadays; married men with families wori't take the job." "Them empty cottages out thar," admitted Abe, pointing to the window, "does look kind o' lonesome a-goin' ter rack an' ruin. Why, the winter 1 was over here every man had his wife an' young 'una on the beach, ^'cept me an' Sam'U' Again the keeper sighed, and drew his coverlid closer. "Now, it's just men, men, nothing but men. Not a petticoat in five miles; and I tell you, sometimes we get mad looking at one another, don't we, boys?" The two young men had ^obered, and their faces also had taken on that look engendered by a life of dull routine among sand hills at the edge of a lonely sea, with seldom the sound of a woman's voice in their ears or the prattle of Httle children. "For two months last winter nobody came near us," said Havens, "and we couldn't get off ourselves, either, halt the time.

Personalities In Court Counsel used to insult one another pretty freely in court Mr. J, A Foots, K.

One hundred sears ago a big celebration in honor of the emancipation of Holland was held In Albany, NT 7. Word that the Hollanders had succeeded in throwing off the French yoke and had proclaimed the prince of Orange sovereign prince of the United Netherlands, had just reached America, though the events' had taken place two months previously. Albany, which was originally called Fort Orange, had been settled by the Dutch in the early part of the seventeenth century. Many of the descendants of these original settlers still lived in the city and its vicinity. By these people the news of the emancipation of the mother country was received with great rejoicing. Celebrations similar to that In Albany were held about the same time in New York city, in Philadelphia and in other places wnere large colonies of Hollanders were <a> eluded in the population, A Question.

The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial ol strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.

For teayen'1 sake hold hard or that camel yon are riding will be the death of some of my hounds!" cried the choleric master of one of the southeastern counties' packs of foxhounds to a lady who was riding rather too close to hounds. Without deigning to turn her bead she steered her mount a little to the left and clear of the hounds rode her own line like a centaur, led the van through a long and very fast run and was the first of tue field to see the fox rolled over in the open. Having recovered from his temporary fit of churlishness and delighted with the manner in which the lady had ridden, the master approached her, somewhat sheepishly it must be confessed, with the "brush" and an apology. "Pray, don't apologize, sir," was the smiling reply. "You simply mistook my favorite hunter for a camel, and 1 your foxhounds for fox terriers, it seems we were both mistaken.
