I spent a night and a day with these men, and left them rather hysterical myself only a few hours ago. We parted company and still it seems to me like a bad dream from which It is hard to wake. This regiment is mad6 up almost entirely of Welshmen and has one of the finest records. It was visited and congratulated by Field Marshal French. It has been mentioned in official dispatches for bravery, and now it is paying the price. Cool Under Fire. The men did not begin to break until after the tenseness had passed. 60 long as they were under fire they Were, cool and in command of themselves. But the position they held was so exposed to fire that they had never a moment's rest, and after a month, when they were ordered back, they went to pieces. I had spent the night before within a mile of them. When I turned south from the Aisne after a night in the trenches I took refuge at a farm on a rich plateau that borders the river. It is a big establishment, employing doxens of men at ordinary times, and the house itself is built on a quadrangle 200 by 300 feet. It was almost big enough to shelter a regiment English Captain Appears. The owner and his son are in the army and the only persons there are two old women, an old man, and a fir!. They took me in, gave me a food dinner, and we were sitting . around an open fire when a bell on the great, door to the courtyard rang. We went out to find a tall English captain and six sergeants. The captain explained that he had been sent ahead to find billets for his regiment, which had been relieved by French troops. He spoke In a rapid, nervous way, and the six sergeants seemed strangely fidgety. I acted as Interpreter and assured them that the farm could shelter three companies and that a farm two kilometers farther on could take care of the rest. Leaving three sergeants, the captain and the other three and I went on to the other farm and arranged for billets. There two sergeants remained. One returned with us and . took the road back into the lines to show the approaching regiment the way. Places for 81 x Hundred. All this time I kept noticing how nervous all these men were; but it was not until I went into the comfortable hall of the farm again that I noticed how bad It was. I had arranged for them to go to bed, but I could not induce them to do so. The sergeants prepared places for 600 men, but all night they kept knocking about with lanterns. There were beds for all; they admitted they had not seen beds for six weeks, and they professed a desire to get into them, but did not The captain was the wont example I saw of a strong man going so completely to pieces. He stood 6 feet 8 inches and weighed about two hundred pounds in bones and sinew—one of the best types of Englishmen. I knew by his type that he by habit and training was reserved, but his tongue was loosened and he talked for hours. I was learning astonishing things, bat tried many times to get him to go to bed. But he would not even take off his shoes. He said he could sleep better in an armchair before the ArcV and in the and he never closed his eyes.- 8tory of Leader. I had not slept the night before, and about two o'clock In the morning fell Into a heavy sleep, waking at nearly 'four o'clock. He was sitting, wide eyed, staring at the fire, and smoking. A few minutes later others came In. The captain said: "Sleep? How could we sleep, sitting tense all night In the trenches, knowing that the Germans were less than one hundred yards away and wera watching every moment for an opportunity to overrun us? Even in ijse day wo had to tie Just behind our trenches, always alert steeping half * o hour at a time, waked by rifles on -either side, and knowing that' the country was filled with spies, telling Vrerything we did.

I tried to get them to go to bed, but by dawn there were not mors than fifty asleep. They talked about the big sleep they were going to have the next night and kept talking about it until noon, when a dispatch came ordering them to move on at nightfall. Then they agreed that it was too late to try to get any sleep. They seemed to welcome the night march.

"Some of the trenches are provided with overhead cover, which gives pro-^occupied by strong forces tection from the weather as well as from shrapnel balls and splinters of shells. Considerable ingenuity has been exercised by the men in naming these shelters. Among the favorite designations are the 'Hotel Cecil,' the 'Ritz hotel/ the 'Billet Doux hotel' and the 'Rue Dormir.* "On the road barricades also are to be found boards bearing this notice: This way to the Prussians.' "Obstacles of every kind abound and at night each side can hear the enemy driving pickets for en|anglements, digging trous-de-loup, or working forward by sapping. In some places, obstacles have been constructed by both sides so close together that some wag suggested that each side provide working parties to perform this fatiguing duty alternately, inasmuch as the work of the enemy is almost indistinguishable from ours and serves the same purpose. Quarries Make Spacious Halls. . "Quarries and caves, to which allusion already has been.made, provide ample accommodation for whole bat* talions and most comfortable are the shelters which have been constructed in them. The northern slopes of the Aisne valley fortunately are very steep and this to a great extent protects us from the enemy's shells, many of which pass harmlessly over our heads to burst in the meadows along the river bank. Bomb Dropped on Ammunition. "It already has been mentioned that, according to information obtained from the enemy, 15 Germans were killed by a bomb dropped upon the ammunition wagon of a cavalry column. It was thought at the time that this might have been the work of one of our airmen, who reported that he had dropped a hand grenade on this convoy and had fien got a birdseye view of the finest display of fireworks he had ever seen. "From corroborative evidence it appears that this was the case; that the grenade thrown by him probably was the cause of the' destruction of a 8mall convoy carrying field gun and howitzer ammunition, which now has been found a total wreck. Along the road lie 14 motor lorries, their iron skeletons twisted and broken. Every* thing Inflammable has been burned, as have the stripped trees—some with split trunks—on both sides of the road.

Another 'Berlin dispatch says that after violent fighting the Germans have entirely occupied the northern canal system, reaching from Arleux 66 miles south-southeast of Banal, for 49 kilometers in the direction of the River Oise. The canal is unused and is dry.

The net result of the day's fighting in this* region has been gains at considerable cost for the allies at points to the east of Armentieres. while about La Bassee the French and British have been forced to retreat at some places in the face of the desperate assaults directed by the Germans.

She perched herself on her little horsehair trunk, which she had packed to take to Blossy's. looking in her time-worn silk gown like a rusty blackbird, and. like a bird, she bent her head first to one side and then the other, surveying Abe in his "barrel clothee" with a critical but complimentary eye. "Wonder who made that necktie?" she questioned. "I'll bet yer 'twas Aunt Nancy; she's got a sharp tongue, but a lot Of silk pieces an' a tender spot in her heart fer yew, Abe.

Then the old wife was ashamed tc find herself shaking of a sudden, and grown, wretchedly afraid—afraid of nthe separation, afraid of the "hardening" process, afraid of she knew not 2¾¾. what. - • "I'm glad *tain't goin' ter be fer a!) winter thla time," she said simply; then arose to open the door in order that he might not see the rush of tears to-her "foolish old eyes.

Piece by piece the sisters put away all the clothing they had offered in vain to Abe. They said that the house was already dull without his presence. Miss Abigail began to plan what she should have for- dinner the day of his return. No one seemed to notice Angy. She felt that her own departure would create scarcely a. stir; for, without Abraham, she was only one of a group of poor old women in a semi-charity home. Slowly she started up the stairs for her bonnet and the old broche shawl. When she reached the landing, where lay the knitted mat of the three-star pattern, the matron called up to her in tragic tones: "Angy Ros,e, I jest thought of i t He never kissed yew good-by!" Angy turned, her small, slender feet sinking deep into one of the woolly stars, her slim figure encircled by the light from the upper hall window. She saw. a dozen faces uplifted to her, and she answered with quiet dignity: MAbe wouldn't think of kisetn* me afore folks." Then quickly she turned again, and went to her room—their room—where the seated herself at the.window, and pressed her hand against ber heart, which hurt with a new, strange, un famYllar pain, a pain that ane could not baveeehown "afore folio." -'•:•.?

Ladles' home Abe had never stopped chafing in secret over the fact that until he died, and no doubt received worthy obituary, he might never again "have his name in the paper." In former, days t h e successive editors of the local sheet had been willing, nay, eager, to chronicle his doings and Angy's, whether Abe's old enemy, rheumatism, won a new victory over him or Angy's second cousin Ruth came from Roverhead to spend the day, or—wonder Indeed to relate! —the old man mended his roof or painted the front fence. No matter what happened of consequence to Captain and Mrs. Rose, Mr. Editor had always been zealous to retail the news —before the auction sale of their household effects marked the death of the old couple, and of Abe especially, to the social world of Shoreville. What man would care to read his name between the lines of "such a news Item as this? B The Old Ladles' Home is making preparations for its annual auHtlne b^e. Donations of worsted, cotton batting, and linings will be gratefully received. Mr. Editor touched his cap to the two old men. He was a keen-faced, boyish little man with a laugh bigger than himself, but he always wore a worried air the day before his paper a weekly, went to pres, and he wore that worried look now. Touching his hand to his fur cap, he informed Samuel and Abe that news was "as scarce as hen's teeth;" then added: "What's doing?" "Oh, nawthin', nawthin*," hastily replied Samuel, who believed that hfe hated publicity, as he gave Abe's fool a sly kick. "We was jest a-gwine ter take a leetle scooter sail." He adjusted the skirt of his coat in an effort to hide Abe's carpetbag, his own canvas satchel, and a huge market basket of good things which Blossy had cooked for the life-savers. "Seen anythlnk of that air Eph Seaman?" Samuel added, shading his eyee- with his hand and peering out upon the gleaming surface of the bay, over which the white sails of scooters were darting like a flock of huge, singlewinged birds. "Eph's racing with Captain Bill Green," replied the newspaper man. "Captain Bill's got an extra set of new runners at the side of his scooter and wants to test them. Say, boys." looking from one to the other of the old fellows, "so you're going scootering, eh? Lively sport! Cold kind of sport for men of your age. Do you know, I've a good mind to run in tomorrow an article on 'Long Island and Longevity.' Taking headline, eh? Captain Rose," turning to Abe as Samuel would do no more than glower at him, "to„what do you attribute your good health at your time of life?" Abe grinned all over his face and cleared his throat importantly, but before he could answer, Samuel growled: "Ter me! His health an' his life both. I dragged him up out of a deathbed only a week ago." The editor took out his notebook and began scribbling. "What brought you so low, Captain Rose?" he inquired without glancing up. Aga.in, before Abe could answer. Samuel trod on his toe. "Thirty mollycoddling women-folks." Abe found his voice and slammed the fist of one hand against the palm of the otffer.

He could see the sisters fairly lighting for the possession of the Shoreville Herald tomorrow, evening, as they always scram bled, each for the first glance at the only copy taken at the borne, and he could hear one reading his name aloud —reading of the black- ingratitude of their brother member. "Jest eay," he added eagerly, "that the time fer old folks ter stick home under the cellar door has passed, an' nobody is tew old ter go a-gallivantin' nowadays. An' then yew might mention "—the old man's face was shining now as he imagined Angy's pleasure— "that Mis' Rose is gone deown ter Twin Coves ter vteit Mia' Samuel Darby fer a week, an' Cap'n Darby an' Cap'n Abraham Rose." his breast swelling out, "is a-goln* ter spend a week at Bleak-Hill.

But a moment later, whin the two were walking gingerly over the Ice to the spot where £ph hard drawn his scooter to a standstill.

I bet on making it in five minutes and fifty seconds." Seven minutes had been the record time for the five-mile sail over the ice to Bleak Hill, but Samuel and Abe, both vowing delightedly that the skipper couldn't go too fast for them, stepped into the body of the boat and squatted down on the hard boards. They grinned at each other as the scooter started and Eph jumped aboard—grinned and waved to the people on the shore, their proud old thoughts crying: "I guess folks will see now that we're as young as we ever was!" They continued to grin as the 'joat spun into full flight and went whizzing over the ice. whizzing and bumping and bouncing. Both their faces grew red, their two pairs of eyes began to water, their teeth began to chatter; but Samuel shouted at the top of his voice in defiance of the gale: "Abe, we've cut the apron strings!" "Hyguy!" Abe shouted in return, his heart flying as fast as the sail, back to youth -and manhood again, back to truant days and the vacation time of boyhood. "Hy-guy. Sam'l!

That the wind of projectiles causes the death of soldiers is a theory advanced by Professor Laurent of Brussels, who read a paper on this subject before the French Acadamy of Science. During the Balkan war. Professor Laurent said he had noticed soldiers who, seemingly, were troubled from cerebrospinal disturbances, although having escaped a bullet. 8ometimes the victims became cataleptic and in less serious cases there were symptoms of falr.iing, tingling sensations and par tial paralysis. In instances where this mysterious infliction caused death, autopsies were held and these invariably revealed no nervous lesions. Then It occurred to Professor Laurent that the variations of atmospheric pressure caused by the passing of the projectile had an effect upon the nerve cells, causing inhibition. Dr. Matigon. during the Russia-Japan war. reported similar cases, particularly after a severe bombardment. As projectiles gain no* only in size but in speed, as the years go on A just what the toll from wind will be in the next great conflict is hard to forecast. Order of the Bath by Law. The American doctor who is denouncing the bath as an evil influence on health would flird many supporters at Cardiff. For there the makers of patent fuel (briquettes), were given the Order of the Bath by law and resented it. Thus an official report to the home secretary expresses the sincere belief of these workers: "One man said that tbe taking of baths had aged the man ten years, and most of them declared that they suffered great agony every day they used these baths." Which prepares one somewhat for that remark of the old provost at a suggestion that baths should be provided at Oxford college: "Baths!1' he snorted, "why, the young men are up only eight weeks!"—London Chronicle. Expected a Real Boat Ride. A contest, for the enlargement of the Sunday school, entitled "A Trip to Palestine," had been plumed by the superintendent.

BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE Industrial Type of Horses Will Be In Demand at the Conclusion of the War. The American farmer who seeks to take advantage of the horse famine now being made by Krupp and Creusot guns should dismise all thought of supplying the armies now in the field. In all probability the war will be oyer before his first foals are weaned. What he should^o is breed industrial types of horses to fill the gaps made by the present war, with perhaps a small percentage of the type of horses actually preferred for military use. Wars may not ceaBe with the end of the present masterpiece of deviltry, but there is good reason to believe that martial glory will be at a die* count in Europe for many yeari to come.

(X) George A. Barnes. Political Advertising Political Advertising Willis L Lyons Candidate For Prosecuting Attorney Republican Ticket SECOND TERM In the past all Prosecuting Attorneys with a good record have been given a second term. We contend Willis Lyons has a good record. He gave up his office and moved to the court house, in other words he made the county business his main work, other business secondary. The stone yard provided by the Supervisors to get rid of the tramp expense has not been used. That was cared for in another way. The criminal expense of the county was reduced $4952.62 the first year over the previous year. Only five cases have been lost out of 150. The work has been carried on in a quiet careful and conservative manner and everyone given a square deal. Not a dollar has been paid by the county to another lawyer to assist. He has the good will of many but his friends should remember that votes count on election day. —Livingston Republican. John A.

Miner Democrat Candidate For County Clerk To the voters of the South part of the County, your attention is again called to the fact that election day is close at hand, when ypu by your vote will be called upon again to elect officers to fill the several offices of the County for the next two years. Clark H. Miner, the present County Clerk and Democratic nominee for reelection has made a record for himseli which entitles him to the confidence and respect of his constituants. And should the voters of the County desire to continue the same kind of service, no mistake will be made in re-electing Mr. Miner, to this important position for another term. The duties of the office have been carefully looked after and not one word of criticism has ever been heard against his ability. Thanking the voters for the past favors conferred upon him and soliciting their support in the coming election with a promise that if elected he will endeavor to give the office his personal attention and will try to improve the record heretofore made. County Clerk He is a young man that the Republican party elected for their candidate for that office, feeling that he v. as capable and worthy of such an honor at the hands of the voters of this county. Two years ago he made a sacrifice run against a man" who was seeking his* second term, that it might put him in line for the coming election, as the present occupant of that office only asked for support for two terms, and is now asking for a third. Therefore he feels justified in appealing to all parties for their support at the coming election, and if elected will endeavor to perform the duties of the office in such a manner that you will be pleased with the support given him.

'^•iC-* Ijrawi Alfalfa, one of the oldest and most widespread of crops, can be grown In tbls country as far as climate is concerned, in every state, but in the humid sections it Is very exacting in the. character of noil and treatment required The following Itst.of "don W published by the U. S. department of agriculture in Farmers' Bulletin No. 339 will, therefore, be of interest: Ten Don'ts for the Alfalfa Grower. Don't fail to provide for ample inoculation. Don't sow poor or weedy seed, Don't sow on a weedy soil. , Don't sow on any but a sweet welllimed soil. Don't sow on poorly drained soil. Don't sow on any but a finely-prepared, well-settled seed bed. Don't pasture the first or second year. Don't lose the leaves; they constitute the best part of the hay. Don't seed a large acreage to begin with. Experiment on a small area first. Don't, give up. Many prominent alfalfa growers finally succeeded only after many failures. The first essential, as these "don'ts" show, is proper soil. A deep, fertile. well-drained soil, rich in lime and reasonably free from weeds is indispensable, and It Is useless to attempt to grow alfalfa on any other kind of land. The lack of any one of these qualities is very apt to be the cause of failure especially in the East and Bouth, where at best alfalfa is produced with some difficulty. The plant 10 a deep-feeding one and usually sends Its roots down many feet to obtain food and moisture which are out of reach of the shallowrooted crops. . On soil that lacks depth alfalfa is unable to utilize Its deep-feeding roots and is, therefore. less able to withstand the attsck of surface-feeding weeds. An exception to this seems to be found1 In the case of soils that are underlaid by limestone at a depth of some eighteen inches or two feet. Weeds are, in fact, one of the greatest enemies of alfalfa. Tie young plants are very tender and are apt to be killed during their early stages of growth. Forjthis reason it is good practice to raise some cultivated crop on the ground for two or three seasons before alfalfa is .planted. If this is not practicable, some such crop as cowpeaj. which naturally prevent the growth of weeds, can be seeded. Alfalfa sown in the spring is especially susceptible to harm from weeds, and spring seeding, therefore, should be avoided wherever possible. It is, however, preferable in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas where any but spring or early summer stands are very apt to winterkill. In general, the principle underlying the time of seeding is to sow as far tn advance as possible of what promises to be the most trying season for the young plants. In the East and South a late summer seeding is usually best This enables an earlier COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER and gives alfalfa ample time to make a growth before the winter sets in; a fact which gives the plants a good start in the following spring, and aids them successfully to resist the inroad of weeds. The conditions that determine the time for seeding alfalfa indirectly determine also the crops which should precedf it. Where late summer seeding Is/ practiced a truck crop which matures early will enable one crop to be secured that season and still allow time for the preparation of the land for alfalfa. Under such circumstances the fertilizer demanded by the truck crop will probably be sufficient for the alfalfa. The_ efficiency of green manure cropsTn increasing the humus content of the soil makeo them especially valuable as a preliminary crop for alfalfa. If the soil is not fertilized in this way, or does not obtain the benefit of manure used for previous cash crops, well-rottec barnyard mtnure or J commercial fertilizers must be employed if the best results are hoped for. It must always be borne in mind that alfalfa requires rich soil. It cannot be grown on any kind of land that happens to lie handy for the farmer. On the other hand, with proper conditions and care Its yield will be sufficient to Justify the use of the rlchect and best drained land on the farm. In the East it is usually best to develop the fertility of some of the high, rolling land and seed that. Bottom lands should be avoided; not only is the danger from weeds on such soils greater, but alfalfa absolutely requires well-drained land. Overflows from streams are usually fatal to it during its growing period, In fact, it is unusual for It to survive more than 24 hours of complete submergence, although during Us dormant period in the winder it is less susceptible. Not the least difficulty that the alfalfa grower must face is the necessity for thorough inoculation of the soil In regions where the proper bacteria are lot supplied by nature. Throughout the western half of the United States inoculatio i In general does not appear to be necessary, but in the East the grower who neglects this precaution is practically certain to lose his time. There are two methods now in general use. The bacteria may be supplied either by scattering the soil from a successful alfalfa field, or by cultures. The artificial -cultures are supplied by the United States department of agricult u r e and their use explained n detail in thp printed matter which accompanies the bottle of culture. After being mixed with the clean water and certain chemicals these cultures are applied to the seed, which is then dried in a shaded place and sown as soon as possible. When this method is successful at all it appears to be fully as much so as the scattering of •oil. _ • i n . Do black hens make you think of crop to be removed from th.

AMrioh County ScbMl Commissionar Mvingst^i County Republican Candidate For SECOND TERM The great Horace Mann once said that education is oar only political safety, and he is not alone in this idea. From the begiaing of American History our forefathers believed* in public schools. Much sacrifice has been made and is bein^ made to provide schools for our children and colleges for the preparation of teachers who are given the vital task of training these young minds. At the present time the people demand that high standards in education be maintained, that our schools prog ret. 8 along with other lines of industry. They demand good teachers and good superintendents. At the coming election an important school office is to be filled by the voters, that ,af County Superintendent or Commissioner. This office stands at tut head of educational matters in the county. The duties of the office are many. In addition to the work of visiting the schools and advising with teachers and officers, the commissioner conducts examinations, audits directors reports, attends to the truancy work, conducts teachers institutes, etc. You can readily see what it means to make a change, in this office. It is the policy of village school boards to retain teachers and superintendents as lon# 'as they give proficient service.

On Saturday and Sunday a heroic effort was made to eave the city from the consequences of a fresh German visitation. The flfht around Melle on Saturday turned to the advantage of the defenders, as did that on Sunday. The combatants ware within 100 yards of one another's positions- Hundreds of wounded were lying unaided and uncared for la the immediate front of the two opposing armies. The Germans' rifle fire during the night had been continuous. They fired on every one approaching their lines, and did not discriminate between combatants and aoucombatante. Retreat Decided On. **It was a critical moment There was not mach time for reflection, and after a careful review of the situation a general retreat was decided upon. The Germane appeared to be in great strength, but the defending force was holding on undismayed by the fury of the German infantry assaults, supported by heavy artillery. "There were no trains from Ghent towards the coast towns, but vehicles of every description, from dogcarts to ramshackle horse wagons, were requisitioned, and the Inhabitants of *3hent fled with some show of confusion from the enemy approaching their gates. By midnight the last ejtlaen who could scrape together money to hire a vehicle of any kind, the last soldier, and a large proportion of the wounded had quitted the city, baking the road to Bruges and Osfcmd. T h e streets of the city were sitont and deserted, and the Hotel de Pocte, which had been used as a residence by the headquarters staff and the correspondents, was practically «u*Pty. , Red Croee Nurses Brave. There are It wounded In the hotel attended by two nurses of the Belgian Red Cross society, who bravely refused to quit their charges, even Whan the doctors and stretcher bearo n abandoned their posts and vanished from Ghent The wounded were tn a feverish state of excitement Somehow, the news of the evacuation peached their ears, and they implored the nurses to have thorn transported elsewhere, for not one of them relished the idea of falling wounded Into the hands' of the Germans. "It was in vain wo sought aid from the city authorities, who were more or less distracted at the prospect of a fresh German incursion.

This is his account of the bombardment aa told to the Daily Chronicle correspondent: "For days we heard the sound of heavy gunfire and were (old of tho fall, one after another, of the outer forts. It soon became apparent that nothing could avail against the great German cannon, and in conjunction with other neutrals we endeavored to mediate with the Germans, to spare, at any rate, some of the most valuable buildings of world-wide Interest But the negotiations failed to lead to a successful result MI had intended to remain In Antwerp throughout the bombardment which we saw was now inevitable, but I was told to clear out of the city, aa its destruction was inevitable. "I did not realise until almost too late the horror which was coming. At 11 o'clock at night we were going to bed, when we were roused by frightful noises tn the air, reminding us of previous visits of a Zeppelin. "Soon we realised that the bombard* meat had begun, and then I had tho most horrible experience of my life. "I went with my family to the basement and we crouched there all night. The shells, falling every few minutes, came with a dreadful whistling sound, followed by a thunder clap of explosion and collapse of buildings. "Opposite the consulate is tho Home for Old Polks. Its front waa torn out by a shell. Some .of the debris was scattered over my house, and then a shell came over us, and fell on a two-story building, crumpling it up entirely and setting it on fire. After this another shell blew out the facade of a house lower down on our street As tho dawn came wo were wearied out and the members of my family collapsed utterly from fright and the strain, "So wo decided to endeavor to leave the city. I succeeded in communicating with my chauffeur and got my car, but I did not know where to go, being left with nothing but what wo had on and exposed every moment to exploding shells. "With my wife and daughter and two servants and a refugee's child I crossed the pontoon bridge over tho Scheldt It took us four hours to do this, tho streets being filled with every kind of vehicle and a dense crowd of, fugitives. The scene waa indescribably dreadful, everybody being^ moved by the same desire to gat away from tha awful horror. "From Antwerp to Ghent tha roads are a mass of fleeing humanity. Aa wa left wa saw vast volumes of smoke arising from Antwerp from tho burning buildings aud biasing petroleum tanks. Instead of two hours to Ghent it took us three, owing to the traffic. One of the Gorman bis tuna situated near Vllvorde and a large number of comparatively smaller guns havo joined in the bombardment" Big Guno Not Used on City.

The Belgians, severely punished, but always in tho thick of the fighting, prevented the Germans from crossing the River Yser. The Germane are in great force, 400 guns, 40,000 infantry and some cavalry having been rushed from Ostend to tho Yser on Saturday. These troops had been drawn from all Quarters, from Lunevilie, Nancy and arussela, and were weary from lncee* saat -marching and fighting. While King Albert's army, with support from a new British army and from French marines and detachments from General Joffre's line in France, checked the German advance along the ieacoast, the loft wing of the Allien in northern France made notable progress, delivering a series of blows against von Boehm and von Kluck which forced tho Germans to surrender Armentierea and villages to the south. Gereral Joffre, according to official reports, has driven the German right wing about 19 miles to the northeast in the last four days. Severe Fighting at Belfert Fighting has boon renewed at Belfort, where the Germans once again are assailing the fortification with mortars and two violent night attacks by the Germans to the north and again to the eati of St Gie were repulsed by.the French with severe losses to the enemy.

ETC- icgry/rwwr/* mrcanv*YC& SYNOP8I8. Captain Abraham Rose and Angelina, m wife, have lost their little home through Abe's unlucky purchase of Tenany Gold mlninK stock. Their household foods sold, the $100 auction money, all they have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or An«y in the Old Lady's home. Roth are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, t>ils is the fust time r y e had a chance to take the wuat of it." The old couple bW good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" Mods them alonjr by-paths to the gate of the Old Ladles' Lome. Miss Abigail, mawon of the Old Ladies' home, hears of the 111 fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladles, and Blosay, who has pud a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken in with his wife, Abe awakens next morning to find that he is "Old Lady No. 31." The old lftdiea give him such -» warm welcome that he U made to feel at home at once. "Brother Ahe" expands under the warm reception oc the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in the Old Ladles' home. Abe Is the center of the community. The semi-annual visit of Blossy's aged lover, Capt. Samuel P*rhy, is du». Abe advises her to marry htei. For the first time the captain falls to appear. Bloasy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, tint old captain In ths Ufe-savlog service, that gossip begins to buss. Aunt Nancy takes Abe to tajak for flirting with Blossy. He is much concerned when he learns that Angy is Jealous. Blosay drives away with Darby to be married. Abe loses popularity. The change reacts on him and the doctor orders him to bed. Then he is at the mercy or the old ladles. Darby comes to see him. CHAPTER XI—Continued. Abraham flushed. He did not care to recall Samuel's wedding day. He hastened to ask the other what had decided him and Blossy to come to* day, and was informed that Miss Abigail had written to tell Blossy that If she ever expected to see her "Brother Abe" alive again she muet come over to Shoreville at the earliest possible moment. "Then I says ter Bloasy," concluded Captain Darby, "I says, says I, 'Jest letnme see that air old henpecked Abe Rose. I'll kill him er cure him!" I says. Here, yer pipe's out Light up agUnt" Abe struck the match with a trembling hand, unnerved once more by the speculation a* to what might hare happened had Samuel's treatment worked the other way.

"When?" naked Angy faintly, feel* Ing Abe's brow, but to her surprise finding it cool and healthy. "Termorrer!" proclaimed Samuel; whereupon Abe looked a little dubious and lifted up his two feet, wrapped as they were In the blanket, to determine the present strength of his legs. "Dont yer think yer'd better make it day after termorrer?" he ventured. "Or long erbout May er June?" Angy hastily amended. Samuel gave an exasperated grunt "See here, whose spree Is this?" Abe demanded of the little old wife.

Angy's secret hope that Aba would change his mind and abandon the projected trip to the beach remained unfulfilled, in spite of the fact that cold weather suddenly descended on the South side, and the bay became first "scummed" over with ice, and then frozen so, solid that all its usual craft disappeared, and the "scooters" took possession of the field. Abe and Samuel held stubbornly to their reckless intentions; and the sisters, sharing Angy's anxiety, grew so-; licltous almost to the point of active interference. They withheld nothing In the way of counsel, criticism, or admonition which could be offered. "Naow," said Mrs. Homan In her most commanding tones at the end of a final discussion in the big hall, on the evening before the date set for departure, "ef yew're bound, bent an* determined, Brother Abe, to run in the face of Providence, yew want tew mind one thing, an' wear yer best set of flannels termorrer." "Sho, thar hain't no danger of me ketchln' cold," decried Abe. "I didn't say yer thickest set of flannels; I said yer best When a man gits throwed out onto the ice kerflump, the thickness of his clo'es ain't gotn' to help him much. The fust thing* I alius taught my husbands was to have everything clean an' whole on, when thar was any likelihood of a sudden death." "Yew 'spect me tew go an' prink up fer a sudden death?".thundered Abraham. "I hain't never heard tell on a scooter a-killln' nobody yit; it's them plagued iceboats up state what—" "That's all very well," persisted Mrs. Homan, not to be diverted from her subject; "but when old Doctor Billings got run over by the train at Mastic Crossin' on Fourth o' July eight year ago, hie wife told me with her own lips that she never would git over It, cus he had his hull big toe stlckin' out o' the end of his stockln'. I tell yew, these days we've got tew prepare fer a violent end." The patient Angy somewhat tartly retorted, that during the last week she had spent even more time upon father's wardrobe than she had upon her own; while Abe inwardly rejoiced to think that for seven days to come— seven whole days—he and Angy would be free from the surveillance of the sisters. ': Mrs. Homan, in no way nonplussed, boomed on: "Thar, I most fast** ebout his necktie. 'Courea, they don't dxejg up manh. at the station; but jest the same that air tie o' yourn. Brother Aba, is a disgrace. I told yew yew'd spile it awearin' it tew bed. Naow, I got a red an' green plaid what belonged to my second stepson. Henry O. He never would 'a' died o' pneumony, either, ef he'd a-took my advice an' made himself a newepaper night cap last time he substituted with the 'savers. An' yew kin have that necktie jeet aa well as not Naow, dont say a word; I'm better able to part with It 'n yew be not to take it." No one aver attempted the fruitless task of stopping Mrs. Homan once fully launched; but when at last shs permitted her back to rest against her chair, folding her arms with the manner of one who makes a sacrifice In a worthy cause, Abe broke into aa explosive protest If any one fretted hia in his some* what fretful convalescence, it was this grenadier member of the household, who since Blossy's marriage had endeavored to fill the yacant post of "guardeen angel." "Mis' Holman," he sputtered, rising to his feet, "I wouldn't wear a red an' green plaid tie to a eel's funeral!" Then with a somewhat ungracious "good-night" to the company In general, he trudged across the hall and up the stairs, muttering something to himself about a "passel of meddlers." Well-meaning Miss Abigail, who had been nodding half asleep/roused herself to call after him, and he, paused unwillingly to heed. "Naow, don't yew lose no sleep ternight," she admonished, "a-worrytn' erbout the change in yer vlttleC I told Cap'n Sam'l that hardtack an' seen like wouldn't never do fer yer weak stummick, an' he promised me .faithful he'd send somebody tew the mainland every day fer milk." "Dew yew think I be a baby?" shouted Abraham, turning on his heaX "I know now what makes my teeth so sore lately," mumbling* to himself; "it'e from this here arrer-root an* all these puddin'y messes, They need hardenin', tew." X. CHAPTER XIII. The Prodigal's Departure. Abraham was up betimes In the morning to greet a day crisp and cold, quiet yet with sufficient breese stirring the evergreens in the yard butside to make him predict a speedy voyage. The old man was nervous and excited, and, In spite of his buoyant anticipations, somewhat oppressed, now that the day had actually come. with a sense of timidity and fear. Still, he put on a bold face while Angeline fastened his refractory collar and tied his cravat. This was neither Mrs. Homan's offering nor Abe's own old, frayed tie, but a new black one which_had mysteriously been thrust through the crack under the door during the night So, the last finishing touches having been put upon his toilet and Angy having made ready by lamplight for her own trip, even before the old man was awake, there seemed nothing left to be done until the breakfast bell should ring. Abe sat down, and looking hard at his open carpetbag wondered audibly if they had "everythln' In." The last time they two bad packed Abe's wardrobe far » visit to Bleak Hill bad been many yeejrAago, whea Samuel Barby, though some what Abe's junior, waa keeper of the life-saving stattsa, sad Abe was to be gone for a whole son's duty,. Then all of his sions had been stowed in a long, boleter- like canvas bag for the short voyage. Bo|b Aagy aa4 her husband recalled that time now—the occasion of their first and almost of their last real separation.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursflay, October 18, 1914 No. 42 LOOK THIS UP 'raternal Insurance Is Liable to *et a "Knockout" In November ' * . , • • • ' - ' . I At the general election on the third of November there is to be Toted upon an amendment to the $fcate constitution affecting frat- ^^•rnal eocieties and if by any ^i^Dhance it should receive a majority of the votes cast the Immediate ireanlt will be the exclusion of ipracticaUy every .society of that nature from the state. In their efforts to defeat the measure the "350,000 members of fraternal eocieties. in the state have joined hands and are appealing to their friends to aid them at the polls <by voting "no." In many counties organizations of Maccabees, Woodman, Yeomen, Gleaners, Loyal Guards, Foresters and others, is being perfected and a systematic campaign against the Amendment is to be made. State Insurance Commissioner Winshlp has already given it as his opinion that the adoption of the amendment will exclude the societies from the state and that no society in the future will be permited to pay anything except death losses—no sick benefits, on old age disability claims, no hospital benefits, etc. In->ddition to all the fraternal eocieties in the state which are fighting the proposed amendment other organizations, such as the Michigan Commerical Travellers' JUsool&tfon, the Federation of Labor; the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen have passed resolutions instructing all* their members to aid in defeating the amendment.

Greenwald, head of the Service Department of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, suggests the following precautions to auto owners: When you are through with your car for the season, jack it up, remove the tires from the rims, and wash them well with soap and water. Be sure to remove all traces of oil or grease. The rims too, should be sandpapered to remove all traces of rust accumula^ don, and painted with liquid graphite. Inner tubes should be deflated, and placodnn a box, or wrapped in a clean cloth or paper, and laid flat m a dark place with no weight resting on them. If they are left in the tubes, they should be partly inflated. . While the car is not in use is an opportune time to have necessary repairs made on tires. It is the repair shops slack season and-asyou are in no hurry for the return of the tires, they can devote all the time necessary for your job and do it right. Examine tires well and* have aJJL cuts in the tread extending through to the fabric, repaired. By following these suggestions, you can add many miles to the life of your ties.

Captain Abraham Rose and Angellne. hi« wife, have lost their little home through Abc-'n unlucky purchase of Tena- «y Gold mining stock. Their household foods sold, the )100 auction money, all hey have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or Angy in the Old Lady's home. Both are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, this Is the fust time I ve had a chance to take-the wust of it." The old couple bid good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" •ends them along by-paths to the gate of the Old Ladles' home. Miss Abigail, matron of the Old Ladles' home, hears/ of the ill .fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladies, and Blossy. who has paid a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken In with his wife. he la "Old Lady No. 31." The old ladies Abe awakens next morning to find that Eve him such a warm welcome that he made to feel at home at once. "Brother Abe" expands under the warm reception of the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in \he Old Ladies* home. Abe is the center of the community. The semi-annual visit of Blossy's aged lover, Capt. Samuel Darby, is due. Abe advises her to marry him. For the first time the captain fails to appear. Blossy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, his old captain in the life-saving service, that gossip beginB to buzz. Aunt Nancy takes Abe to task for flirting with Blossy. He is much concerned when he learns that Angy is Jealous. Blossy drives away with Darby to be married. CHAPTER X—Continued. "I told yer I never could stand it here amongst all these dratted womenfolks," Abe would declare. "It's all your fault that I didn't go to the poorhouse in peace." "I notice yew didn't raise no objections until yew'd lived here a year," Angy would retort; but ignoring this remark, he would go on: "It's 'Brother Abe' this an' 'Brother Abe' that, as ef I had thirty wives a-pesterln' me instid of one. I can't kill a fly but It's 'Brother Abe, lemme bury him fer yew.' Do yer all think I be a baby?" demanded the old gentleman with glaring eye. "I guest I'm able ter do somethln' fer myself onde In a while. I hain't so old as some folks might think," he continued with superb inconsistence. "I be a mere child compared with that sir plagued Nancy Smith." It took very little to exhaust Angy's ability for this style of repartee, and she would rejoin with tender but mistaken efforts to soothe and comfort him: "Thar, thar, father 1 Don't git excited now. Seems ter me ye 're a leetle bit feverish. Ef only yew'd take this here tansy tea." Abraham would give one exasperated glance at the tin cup and mutter into the depths of his beard: "Tansy tea an' old women! Old women an' tansy teat Tansy tea be darned!" Abe failed perceptibly during the summer, grew feebler as the autumn winds blew in, and by November he took to his bed and the physician of the home, a little whiffet of a pompous Idiot, was called to attend him. The doctor, determined at the start to make a severe case of the old man's affliction in order that he might have the greater glory in the end, be it good or bad, looked very grave over Abraham's tongue and pulse, prescribed medicine for every half hour, and laid ^ especial stress upon the necessity of keeping the patient in bed. "Humbug!" growled the secretly terrified invalid, and in an excess of Bravado took hie black silk necktie from where It hung on the bedpost and tied it in a bow-knot around the collar Of bit pink-striped nightshirt, so that ike would be in proper shape to receive any of the sisters. Then he lay very etlll, hii *yes closed, as they came tip. toeing in. and out Their tongues were SB gentle tiptoe too, although not so gentle but that he could hear then advising: One, a "good, stiff mustard " one, an "onion poultice;" an- "Spanish blister;" while Aunt Nancy stopped short of nothing leas than "old-fashioned bleeding.* Abe toy Tory still and wondered if they intent to kill him. He was probably going to die anyhow, so why torment Isk. Only when he was dead, be feoped that they would think more ktetfly of him. And so surrounded yet alone, the old man fougM his secret until mercifully he went to with them for the "great haven" over tnere; and the whisper reaching the sickroom, Abe's fever would rise, while he could never lift his lashes except to see the specter of helpless old age on one side of the bed and death upon the other. "What's the matter with me?" he demanded of the doctor, as one who would say: "Pooh! pooh! You're a humbug! What do you mean by keeping me in bed?" Yet the old man was trembling with that inner fear. The physician, a feminine kind of a bearded creature himself, took Abe's hand in his—an engaging trick he had with the old ladies. "Now, my friend, do not distress yourself. Of course, you are a very sick man; I cannot deceive you as to that; but during my professional career, I have seen some remarkable cases of recovery and—" "But what's the matter with me?" broke in Abe, by this time fairly white with fear. The doctor had assured him that all his organs were eound, so he could only conclude that he must have one of those unusual diseases such as Miss Abigail was reading about in the paper yesterday. Maybe, although his legs were so thin today, he was on the verge of an attack of elephantiasis! "What's the matter with me?" he repeated, his eyes growing wilder and wilder. What the doctor really replied would be difficult to tell; but out of the confusion of his technicalities Abe caught the words, "nerves" and "hysteria." "Mother, yew hear that?" he cried. "I got narvous hysterics. I told yer somethln' would happen ter me a-comin' to this here place. All them old woman's diseases is ketchin'. Why on 'arth didn't yer let me go to the poorhouse?" He fell back-on the pillow and drew the bedclothes up to his ears, while Angy followed the doctor out into the hall to receive, as Abe supposed, a more detailed description of his malady. He felt too weak, however, to question Angy when ehe returned, and stubbornly kept his eyes closed until he heard Mrs. Homan tiptoe into the room to announce in hushed tones that Blossy and Samuel Darby were below, and Samuel wanted to know if he don't yew know that I'm a .doomed man? I got the 'narcous hysterics.'" "Yew got the pip! "retorted Captain Darby contemptuously, and trotting quickly around to the Bide" of the bed, he seized Abe by the shoulders and began to drag him out upon the floor, crying again, "Git up!" The sick man could account for this remarkable behavior In no way except by concluding that his old captain had, gone into senile dementia—oh, cruel, cruel afflictions that life brings to old folks when life Is almost done! Well, thought Abe, he would rather be sick and die in bis right mind than go crazy. He began to whimper, whereupon Samuel threw him back upon His pillows in disgust. "Cryin'! Oh, I swan, he's cryin'!" Darby gave a short lairgh pregnant with scorn. "Abe Rose, dew yew know what alls yew?" he demanded, fixing his eyes fiercely upon the Invalid. "Dew yew'know what'U happen tew yew if yew don't git out o' this bed an' this here house? Either yer beard'll fall out an* yew'11 dwindle deown ter the size o' a baby or yew'll turn Into a downright old woman—Aunt Abraham!— won't that sound nice? Or 'Em." yew'll die or yew'll go crazy. Git out er bed I" The patient shook his head and sank back, closing his eyes, more exhausted than ever. And he himself had heard might see the invalid. i Angy warn this man in a whisper not Then Abe threw off the covers In a/ to "rile him went m. When he awoke there were the sistarn again; and day after day they epsnt their combined-efforts in keeping him on bis back and forcing him to take Ms medicine, the only appreciable resulting therefrom being the thai with his tax upon their devothe ntt ladies came once more to raajard Aba as the most precious poa- §eja>km of the Home. / ; "What ef he should dier they whiskered among thesnsehres, repentant enongb of their late oondemnation of htm end :aJready desohue at the t h * * ^ esrft k s n y ^ little hardh hurry and sat up. "Sam'l Darby?" he asked, the strength coming back Into his voice. "A man! Nary a woman ner a doctor! Yes—yes, show him up!" Angy nodded in responee to Mrs. Homan's glance of Inquiry; for had not the doctor told her that it would not hasten the end to humor the patient in any reasonable whim? And she also consented to withdraw when Abe informed her that he wished to be left alone with his visitor, as it was so long since he had been face to face with a man "an' no petticoat a-hangin' 'round the corner." "Naow, bev keerful. Cap'n Darby," the little mother-wife cautioned at the door, "be very keerful. Don't stay tew long an' don't rile him up, fer he's dretful excited. Abe is." CHAPTER XI. Mental Treatment Little Samuel Darby paused at the foot of the bed and stared At Abe without saying a word, while Abe fixed bis dim, distressed eyes on his visitor with a dumb appeal for assistance. Samuel looked a very different man from the oM bachelor who used, to come a-wooing every six months at the Homo. Either marriage had brought him a new growth of hair, or else Blossy bad selected a new wig for him—a modest cloee, Iron-gray which fitted his poll to perfection. Marriage or Blossy had also overcome in Samuel that tendency* to hang his hand "to starb/dj upl" Remorselessly on the rejuvenated Darby: "Hain't a-goln' ter git up, bah? Yew old mollycoddle! Yew babyl Old Lady 31! Kitty calf! But I hain't a-blamin' yew; ef I had lived In this here place a year an' a half, I'd he stark, starin' madl Leetle tootsiewootsiet Git up!" Abe had opened his eyes and was once more staring at the other, his mind slowly coming to the light of the realisation that Samuel might be more sane than himself. "That's what I told Angy all along," he ventured. "1 told her, I says, says | I, 'Humbug! Foolishness! Ye're amakin' a reg'lar baby of me. Why.' I says, 'what's the difference between me an' these here women-folks except that I wear a beard an' smoke a pipe?" "Then why don't yew git up*' demanded the inexorable Samuel. "Git up an' fool 'em; or, gosh all hemlock! they'll be measurln'yew fer yer coffin next week. When I come inter the hall, what dew yew think these here sisters o'yourn was a-discussln'? They was a-arguin' the p'int as to whether they'd bury yew in a shroud or yer Sunday suit." Abraham put one foot out of bed. Samuel took hold of his arm and with this assistance the old man managed to get up entirely and stand, though shaking as if with the palsy, upon the floor.

After some searching, Samuel found the pipe in Abe's hatbox underneath the old man's beaver, and produced from his own pocket a package of tobacco, whereupon the two sat down for a quiet smoke, Samuel chuckling to himself every now and again, Abe modestly seeking from time to time to cover his bare legs with the skirt of his pink-striped nlghtrobe, not daring to reach for a blanket lest Samuel should call him names again. With the very first puff of his pipe, the light had come back Into the Invalid's eyes; with the second, the ashen hue completely left his cheek; and when he had pulled the tenth time on the pipe, Abe was ready to laugh at the sisters, the whole world, and even himself? "Hy-guy, but it's splendid to feel like a man ag'ln!" The witch of Hawthorne's story never gazed more fondly at her "Feathertop" than Samuel now gazed at Abraham pulling away on his pipe; but he determined that Abraham's fate should not be as poor "Feathertop's." Abe must remain a man. "Naow look a-here, Abe," he began after a while, laying his hand on the other's , knee, "dew yew knaow that yew come put' nigh git tin' swamped in the big breakers?

A good yawn, the Belgian professor maintains, is excellent for all the breathing organs; but there Is an art in yawning Just the action and also to fill the vital organs with a current of fresh sir.

M " * * . •;•• - . . V ^ . Port Wayne, Indiana, October 12.— A matter of great interest to life insurance policyholders in Michigan is the fact that the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company of this city, one of the large companies with a great many Michigan policyholders, has taken the progressive step of electing five Michigan men to its board of directors. They are: r'V. * > . • * . - • • • • ' " • . Hon. Edwin Denby. Edwin Denby of the well-known law firm of Chamberlain, May, Denby & WebBter of Detroit, and also a director in the Denby Motor Truck company and National Bank of Commerce and the treasurer of the Hupp Motor Car company. "* Albert E. Sleeper, formerly treasurer of state and a banker at Bad Axe and other cities In the Thumb District He Is also a director in the Merchants National bank of Detroit. Henry E. Morton, president of the Morton Manufacturing company and president of the State Savings bank at Muskegon Heights, Michigan. Henry C. Loveridge, a prominent attorney at Coldwater. ^ Burt S. Stratton, a prominent life insurance agent and citizen at Lansing. There are five Michigan life insurance companies and at the end of last year their combined insurance in force in the, state amounted to less than 1 per cent of the life insurance carried by the sixty-seven companies from out of the state which wrote insurance in Michigan. So tar as we know, the Lincoln Life of Fort Wayne is the first outside company to elect Michigan directors to its board and thus lend the assurance to its 7,600 Michigan policyholders that their interests are being looked after on the board of directors by big business men of their pwn state. This move on the part of the Lincoln Life ought to assure Michigan people that their interests are receiving careful attention and that the company merits the entire confidence of Michigan people. The Lincoln Life has over twentyone millions of life Insurance in force and about eight millions of it Is on the lives of Michigan citizens; It Is writing new business in Michigan at the rate of two million dollars a year and has About 40 per cent of its entire assets invested in Michigan farm loans and municipal bonds. In other words the life insurance premiums that have been paid on these Michigan policies has been reinvested in the state to help build up the resources of the Michigan people. This is more than any other outside company does and it should result in a greatly increased Michigan business for this splendid company. The Lincoln Life is seeking to add to Its already splendid agency force in Michigan and should lil^e to receive applications from Michigan men or women'who seek employment or desire to better their present positions. There Is no line of work open to the person of average education and ability, without capital or influence, in which the opportunities for accomplishing immediate financial returns, building up a substantial income and attaining to a position of importance and prominence In the business affairs of a xommunity, are equal to the" opportunities offered by a life insurance agency. The only capital required is clean character, a clear head, honesty of purpose, tact, enthusiasm and a big surplus of indomitable energy and grim determination to succeed. Endowed with these prerequisites the man or woman who takes up life insurance, work need have no fear of failure, and if he or she will carefully study the business, making the best possible use of time and opportunities, there are no chances on profits, as success is certain. Adv. MOTHERS AND DAME FASHION Women Molds Her Daughter In Foundation of Style and Taste From Earliest Years. Take the average girl, carefully note the manner in which she is dressed and <then you have an advertisement —good or bad—for her mother. In some subtle manner a mother molds her daughter from babyhood in the style of her clothing, and it is a very important molding, too. For if clothes do not make the man they do go a long way i.n giving a true impression of a woman. Every new dress that a mother buys for her little girl is a small stone in the foundation of style and taste that will guide her daughter in future years. I was taking tea with a well-known public woman recently, and she called my attention to two young business girls who were sitting at another table in the restaurant. From the hat of one hung a t faded-looking rose, her low- 'necked blouse was Tiot Improved by her soiled coat collar, and above her cheap-looking patent shoes showed tawdry openwork stockings. The other wore a smart, perfectly plain hat, neat, well-fitting costume, and was tastefully booted. """ "Different mothers!" said my companion briefly. — Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Not for Him.

London—German troops are advancing swiftly toward Ostend, hoping to capture the city by a sudden attack and makes prisoners of King Albert and the Belgian government officials, according to a dispatch from The Hague. Belgian, British and French armies took positions Sunday on a new battle line southeast of Ostend for the defense of that city and a resumption of operations against the German lines of communicati6n in Belgium. Strong British reinforcements permitted" the Belgian army to pass Ghent intact to effect a consolidation with the French and British.. This new stand of the allies is intended to develop into a strong offensive, Paris dispatches say, with a view toward striking at Brussels, so menace the German communication" through Belgium as to make it necessary for the invaders to abandon France and once for all remove the danger of another advance toward Paris. Large numbers of troops are said to have been sent by General Joffre to reinforce the allies already before Ostend, and operations on a large scale are expected in that region soon. Battle Line Lengthened. Twenty thousand Germans marching westward met a temporary check at Quatrecht, near Wetteren, east of Ghent, at the hands of French and British troops. The French communication issued Sunday afternoon deals only with the battle, or series of battles, which has been in progress for four weeks from east to west in France with an ever extending line, which now reaches northward from the elbow at Noyon to and across the Belgian border at Armentieres. The statement says that the allies have held their positions everywhere and that German cavalry, which was attempting to envelop the allies' left wing and had seized certain points of passage on the river Lyst to the east of Aire, 20 miles from the coast, was defeated and retired to the northeast into the ArmentlereB district. Cavalry on Large Scale. At the same time, the Germans delivered a vigorous attack on the right bank of the Ancre river, between Arras and the Oise, without making any pro* greas. This indicates that the battle in Picardy, comprising the department of Somme and part of Oise, Pas-de-Calals and Aisne, in which the cavalry is participating on a scale not seen in previous modern wars, extends over a very considerable area. Here are many miles of open country where horsemen can maneuver with advantage. Between the River Oise and Rheims, and particularly in the region northwest of Soissons, where the British forces are entrenched, further progress has been made. It thus seems probable thai the Germans have abandoned some of their strongly entrenched positions In this neighbor* hoodv It is reported that sanitary reasons have compelled this, as the trenches in which the troops have been living for weeks have become breeding places for disease. The Germans have resumed their night attacks between Craonne and Rheims, which, according to French accounts, have been repulsed. From Rheims to the Meuse, nothing of importance has occurred .of late, but in the Apremont district of the Woevre, to the east of S t MihieL the Germans made violent attacks during the night of October 9 and the following day. Apremont was taken by the Germans, but was retaken by the French and remains in their hands. The Germans apparently are determined to maintain as far as possible their positions here, where they have pierced the line of fortifications between Verdun and Toui along the river Meuse. Should they be successful against the lilies elsewhere, this doubtless would be the route by which they would en* deevor to enter the heart of France." Sign Causes a Near Riot. A sign in the window of a grocery store at Forty-third and Butler streets that sugar was selling 25 poundd for $1.10 caused a rush of women. Men working at night or going to work in the early morning Lad read the sign and hastened to tell their wives of the sale. Three hundred women congregated, seeking opportunity to buy. The storekeeper found that a joker had been at work. 'Wednesday evening he had painted a sign, "Sugar. 25 pounds $1.90." Some one had erased the loop from the figure nine. —Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

Miner I )eniocrat Candidate Kor County CHerk To the voters of the South part of the County, your attention is again called to the fact that election d a y is close at hand, when you by your vote will be called upon again to elect officers to fill the several offices of the County for the next two years. Clark H. Miner, the present County Clerk and Democratic nominee for reelection h a s made a record for himself which entitles him to the confidence a n d respect of his constituants. And should t h e voters of t h e County desire to continue t h e same kind of service, no mistake will be made in re-electing M r . Miner, t o this important position for another term. T h e duties of the office have been carefully looked after and not one word of criticism has ever been heard against his ability. 'Jhanking t h e voters for the past favors conferred upon him and soliciting their support in the coming election with a promise that if elected he will endeavor to give t h e orifice his personal a t - tention a n d will t r y to improve the record heretofore made. , Taxpayers |of This County Will be Interested in Direct Information as Cost of trouble of Two* Years Ago Livingston county taxpayers are interested in the outcome of the election this fall as they have not been interested in m a n y years. All of them have felt t h e burden of recent unusual state taxes b u t it mav not be known to m a n v of them that t h e appropriations approved b y Govenor Ferris brought to Livingston county an increased tax of $14,132.87. T h e entire State t a x for t h e Ferris administration was $14,718- 748.89, almost three million dollars in excess of the state t a x permitted b y the Osborn administration. • If this was all t h e loss our county h a s been required to meet through t h e unfortunate election results of two years ago we would be very fortunate. B u t we have had to share in t h e loss t o every line of business that h a s come t o our state and to our country as a whole through t h e changing of t h e tariff and through t h e direct assaults on Michigan interests t h a t have been made a t Washington. T h e Republicans of this, county were divided t w o years ago a n d their division, of course, assisted in bringing the trouble for o u r state and nation. B u t they a r e united now a n d their votes for Governor Osborn a n d for our candidate for congress and the county candidates will indicate their protests against burdensome state taxes a n d against all t h e losses they have be#n compelled to endure through democratic direction and mismanagement. John A. Hagman C a n d i d a t e For County Clerk H e is a young m a n that the Re- * publican part\ elected for their candidate for that office, teeling t h a t he was capable and worthy of such a n honor a; the hands of the voters of this county. T w o years ago .he made a sacrifice run against «a man who was seeking his second term, t h a t it might p u t him in line for the coming election, as the present occupant of t h a t office t only asked for support for two terms, a n d is now asking for a third,. Therefore he feels justified in appealing to all parties for their support a t the coming election, and if elected will endeavor to - perform the duties 'of the office in such a maimer that you will be pleased with the support given him.

They come by millions, and the water takes on a slaty tint from their presence beneath the surface.

Every village along the coast hgs its cannery, and, as these are mostly individual enterprises, there is much competition.

It Is well known that under the Moslem religon divorce is made remarkably easy and that there is no need for any legal or religious formalities—a man being able, so to speak, to divorce his wife by word of mouth, This facility often gives rise to unpleasant re suits, as when a man in a burst of anger will divorce his wife and then bitterly repent of his rashness. One such incident happened recently in upper Egypt It is related that a fellah appealed to bis omdeh to help him to regain his wife, against whom be had pronounced the fatal words. The omdeh told him to traverse the streets of his village for two hours braying like an ass and to eat chopped straw as an ass does, when he would be absolved from his; divorce, without needing to go before the cadi. The fellah carried out the. order to the letter and then returned to his wife, fully convinced that he had done ample penance for his Impetuosity,—Boston Transcript Built Upon Cotton. When the Leasowe lighthouse, England, was built on the sandy Wlrral shore the builders were puzzled by the lack of a suitable foundation for the masonry tower. An ingenious way out of the difficulty was effected. In the vicinity an Incoming ship, laden with a cargo of cotton, had gone ashore and had become a total wreck. The cotton was useless for its intended purpose, so the bales were salvaged and dumped Into the sand at the point where the lighthouse was to be erected. The fleecy mass settled into the sand and under compression became as solid as a rock, while its permanency was assured by its complete submersion. The stability of this strange foundation may be gathered from the fact that the tower erected thereon stood and shed its welcome light regularly every night for about a century and a half, being extinguished only a few years ago, as it was no longer required,—Argonaut Corsica and Do Paoli. While the island of Corsica derives Its fame from being the birthplace of Napoleon, the name of Pasquale de Paoil Is more dear to the natives, for It was under the leadership of this patriot, in 1755, that they escaped from the yoke of the Genoese. For fourteen years he wisely administered the affairs of the Island. In 1769 France bought the island from Genoa and landed an army of 22,000, which Paoll met with n few thousand Corsicans and fought until his army was reduced to 537 men; yet he cut his way through and escaped to England, where he remained twenty years. At the outbreak of the revolution In France he returned to his native land and became military governor, but he could not get on With his old enemy, so he returned to England, where he died in 1S07. Many Uses For Old Leather. Old leather material, which finds its way into the waste pile, is extremely valuable and returns to our homes in many other shapes. It Is soaked in water to remove the dirt, all the nails and threads are picked out and the leather is reduced to a thick pulp, from which wall papers, screens, etc.. are made. The finer the original quality of leather the better it takes the bronze and old gold of the designs which make these hangings things of beauty. Bookbinders and framemakeri also know the value of this pulp, and carriage builders press it into sheets.

Some have asserted that it belongs to the beetles. of which it is an "aberrant type," others that it is connected with the grasshoppers. Even about its very name there has been endless discussion Some have thought the name earwig is the result of the creature's supposed habit of getting into the ears, while others are equally certain that it is derived from the original name, which they say was earwing, from the fact that the wing when spread resembles the human car. At all events, one thing Is certain—the earwig as we know it now is a survival of an early type of which almost every other member has become extinct SPECIALS ^ B S S S S S S S S S a a ^ ^ 3P O IES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 14 35c pkg.

International New* Service. Pari*.—The stream of wounded from the battlefields of the Marne and the Ourcq is being directed past Paris to hospitals In the rear, for the obvious reason that until it is quite certain that Paris will not have to defend herself against attack it would be unwise to fill the ample hospital accommodation of the capital. In the American hospital only 56 of those 500 beds are occupied. I came across a soldier of the Sixth dragoons, suffering from a bullet wound in the hip that he got at Complegne. The night before the battle his squadron was on outpost duty. Some firing had been heard, and he rode ahead of the squadron to see what was happening, believing that French cavalry were engaged with the Germans close at hand. He cantered along a moonlit road until suddenly in the shadow of some trees he found himself in the midst of a group of German horsemen. He had his carbine across the neck of his horse and fired point blank into the breast of a German trooper with whose horse his own came into collision. The German was as quick with his weapon, and both men fell to the ground, the German dead, the British with a bullet through his hip. An instants later the squadron came clattering up and cut the German detachment, about thirty strong, to pieces. Has 8trong Prejudice. The British dragoon has seen things which have given him a strong prejudice against the enemy. In a Belgian village he saw the yet warm corpse of peasant woman who had been struck down by a uhlan's lance. The uhlans were riding out of the village as the British rode In, and the man who killed the woman did so because she could not or would not give him some bread. Once on patrol duty he came across a stationary motor car. In It were three French officers and a lady, all dead, all sitting in the position in which they were when they died. A volley had been poured Into the car. The lady's hand hung carelessly over the side of the car, and the fingers showed marks of rings which had been roughly stripped off. Our cavalrymen were, he added, a good deal pestered by the enemy's aeroplanes during the retreat from Mons. .Whenever a German aeroplane appeared over a bivouac the order was given to change camp, and weary men and horses had to move further on. One man told in a voice from which the bitterness had not yet passed of a breakfast lost in this way. The meal almost assumed the proportions of a feast Two geese and three hens he and his mates had prepared for themselves, and just when they were ready to take them from the fire the enemy appeared in force, and the breakfast had not only to be abandoned, but to be abandoned to the Germans. Tureos Best Patients. Of all the patients the best, say the doctors, are the Tureos. There it no limit to the pain they can endure. Yesterday afternoon the parade of two standards captured from the enemy was accepted by Parisians as a good augury for the success of their arms. The number of French priests serving with the colors is a good deal larger than has been imagined, and it Is stated authoritatively today that as many at 19,000 priests are enrolled as combatants. The departure of the cardinal archbishop of Malines from the Gare St. Lazare gave rise last night to a picturesque scene. The archbishop was fully robed, and stood on the platform surrounded by a large crowd of priests and others who hare sympathised keenly with the Belgians in their struggle. As the train left the station be stood in the carriage bowing to those on the platform—an aseetio figure of the Richelieu type, a mail of dominant personality, with a charm of pose and expression that made one realize how keenly his work Is appreciated by his countrymen In Belgium. I Lest of Horses Appalling. The Wastage of horses during the present war has admittedly been appalling. At the St. Lasare terminus today I met a general with some 200 me* of the Ninth French dragoons. They, had no horses left and had come to pick up softs at present waiting in Hrla. They were then taking an coward-bound train as far as Chatoan Thierry. Their purpose was to harass the retreat of the Germans, who at this point in the firing line said to be> utterly exhausted. tared helpless after three sleepless nights. Even the sentries are asleep, ami every man capable of doing so IMS crept into a bars of other shelter to get some rest. * v The heroism displayed by the Britis* troops is the robject of admiring v noismsritt In the Frsnch taper*-The Liberte gives some striking examples. On one occasion the Germans in considerable force tried to enter a town occupied by British troops. One Scottish detachment was entrusted with the task of checking the advancing Germans till the English troops succeeded in retiring in good order. They took up a position in the first house in the town. The Germans directed a violent fire upon the houses, which soon threatened to bury the defenders under their ruins. The German attack slackened, and the Scots realized that the enemy was preparing to take up a still better position. During the lull a Scottish sergeant who occupied a grocery, discovered on the shelves several packets of chocolate, and turning to his men told them, "I'll give a bar of chocolate* to every man who kills a German." When the attack was resumed the sergeant gravely proceeded to distribute the promised rewards. Show Great Bravery. The day after the same * regiment was occupying a trench, swept by violent rifle and artillery fire, when two privates noticed that a Frenchman attached to the battalion as interpreter occupied the most exposed spot in the trench. One private said: "The Frenchman is badly placed, let'B widen his trench" and during a minute, paying no attention to, the hail or bullets and shrapnel, the privates deepened the trench, and with the same calm resumed their places. The correspondent adds that the bravery of the English is truly admirable. Although they had suffered heavily, the English never flinched an instant when informed that one of their best units had just been annihilated. They remained silent for a few Beconds and then answered, with wonderful determination: "Never mind. One day we will have the best of it" Every newspaper Is anxious to pay tribute to British bravery and prowess. After their trying retreat from Belgium the French are delighted that the British should participate in the more. congenial task of pursuing the Germans. "We are happy," says the Journal des Debats, "that, after having Nat one time occupied the thankless position at Mons and Cambral, our allies have the satisfaction of being with the advancing wing of our forces on the side where most trophleB have been won." Still They Came On. A Coldstream guardsman, writing of the fighting near the forest of Complegne, compares the sight of the Germans issuing from the trees to a cup-final crowd at the Crystal palace. "You couldn't miss them. Our bullets plowed into them, but still they came for us. I was well intrenched and my rifle got so hot I could hardly hold it. I was wondering if I should have enough bullets - when a pal shouted, 'Up, guards, and at 'em/ The next second he was rolled' over with a natty knock on the shoulder. He jumped up and hissed, 'Let me get at them.' His language was a bit stronger than that "When we really did get the order to get at them we made no mistake I can tell you. They cringed at the bayonet, but those on our left wing tried to get around us, and after racing as hard as we could for quite three hundred yards, we cut up nearly every man who did not run away." Referring to the cavalry he writes: "You have heard of the charge of the Light Brigade. It was nothing to our charge. 8lash snd Slash. '1 taw two of our fellows who were unhorsed stand back to back and slash away with their swords, bringing down nine or ten of the panicstricken devils. Then they got hold of the stjrrup straps of a horse with* out a rider and got out of the melee. This kind of thing was going on all day. "In the afternoon X thought we should all gat bowled over, at they came for us in their big numbers. Where they came from goodness knows; but as we could not stop them with bullets they had another taste of the bayonet My captain, a fine fellow, was near to me and as he fetched them down he shouted: 'Give them socks, my lads/ How many were Killed and wounded I don't know, but the field was covered with them/' • v Gives Boys Chance to Bnl 1st Bordeaux.—A decree Issued by the French government permits the mother or guardian of a youth under twenty years to act as a substitute for the absent father In authorising Whole sections of them are being cap-1 the young man to volunteer -for the war.

We consider the Agent oar fellow man, and seek to serve him in a great and wonderful business in which we have a common cause. We help the agent solve his problems by understanding and sympathizing with him. There la no gift equal to sympathy and no co-operation like the co-operation of the understanding heart.

Votes have beeu eoming in by the thousands almost every day, and now the days of the contest are very limited. Next week Friday is the last day * and soon after 3 p. m. of that day the winner of the pinno will be known. You shotfld realize this, and i£ ever you should intend to win a thing, uow is the time. Some contestants, have said they do not want the contest to close so soon. They have had several months in which to pile up votes for just this crisis. Procrastination in this contest may have lost the piano for some one, two or three contestants. This race may end like that of the hare and tortoise, perseverance often wins. You still have time yet to get lots and lots of votes. But remember, you will not have the chance again. Do you fnlly realize that a $400 piano is to be given to the contestant having the largest number of votes next week Friday? Why, you are letting them have it with just a little work! It would be fun to make them race for it anyway; but you are content to sit by peacefully and watch some one else get the prize while one of your very best friends could perhaps have won with your help. But yon cannot realize the beauty of the prize until you see some one else with it, it seems. Perhaps you believe the writer "is just trying*to scare you for his own profit, but that is not so, and next week Friday you are sure to see the soundness of advice that has been printed right here from time to time. Now you've come to the place where it is either pick up or get out. Are you going to win? If not, why'areyou trying? True, people are going tobe.satisfied with the merchants priies, because they are worth getting and any amount of work. If you would be first, then you must work for more votes. Be sure aud have your friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with / each dollar cash purchase. Have them ask for these coupons and save them for you. W. VV.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, October 8, 1914 No. 41 Dispatch Contest Closes Friday, October 23 Only a P e w Days In Which to Work forthe beautiful piano —bast Struggle for Capital P r i s e Now at Its Helght,- Many other valuable prizes There is now but a few more days in which the candidates engaged in the popular voting contest have to work for the several prizes offered. The voting comes to an end-Friday, October 23 at three o'clock,. and immediately thereafter the count will be commenced, to see who shall be declared the winner of the splendid Obermeyer piano and the other '•beautiful and useful articles offered to those who are makiug an effort to land the premiums. It is not believed by those who have given the matter careful thought tliafrany particular person has the grand prize cinched at the present time, but there are several in the race who have a good chance to land it if they will only hustle. If you have not yet seen the fine piano offered in this contest go to Nellie Gardner's Millinery store and take a look. Many of our citizens have examined the instrument as to its quality and appearance and there is yet the first one to say that it is not a fine one. It is of a plain rich mahogany, and a prettier piano was never unloaded at Pinckney. Musicians of this section have tested it as to its quality of tone and volume and every one of them says it is fine as silk. There are several young ladies who appear to have the best of the contest but none of them has a sure cinch on being the ultimate owner of the first prize. If one of these contestants who is way down the list should take it in to her head that she was going to win the big premium, she could do so. She would have to do some work to make it, but that was what was expected when the contest opened. Several bunches of seven new subscribers or renewals in groups of seven would put the lowest candidate in the race up among the leaders. For those who .wish to vote without any competitor seeing them, we desire to state that cash with your subscription, telling where the paper is to be sent and to whom the voteB shall be given, can be placed in an envelope and deposited.in the bank. The judges will open these envelopes at the Dispatch office and count the votes Miss Madeline Bowman was in the lead at the last count. Several others are well to the front and are putting forth every effort on the home stretch to win the ooveted prize. Either of these ladies can land* the prize, if they will Jake the time to get out and *olioifc new subscriptions and renewals* Be sore and have yonr friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with ^ach dollar cash purchase.

What Editors Know Many people think editors don't know much. The trouble is, they known a lot of stuff that they dare not tell. They know »who drinks and they known the ladies who deviate from the straight and narrow path of rectitude and the boys who smoke in alleys and dark places and the girls who are out auto riding till the roosters crow for daylight. They know the fellow who can't get trusted for a tobacco sack full of salt. They could ^guess why some fellows are as they are and they can closely guess what they do to make themselves so. They know enough to make one of the red-hottest, rip snorting, high geared, tripleaction chainlighting editions you ever read but they also know it is best for the community and them. selves to let the law take care of humanity's development and publish only such news as will do to read in the house* Editors generally pursue this policy and thereby live longer and get more enjoyment out of life. A gentleman is a man, a man who is clean inside and out side who neither looks up to the rich nor down to the poor; who can win withont bragging; who is considerate to women, and children and old people;who is too brave to He, too generous to cheat, and too sensible to loaf who takes his share of the world's good and lets other people have theirs.—Ex.

Their household goods sold, the $100 auction money, all they have left, will place Abe in the Old Man's home, or Anj?y In the Old Lady's home. Buth are self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear, this is the fust time I've had a chance to take the wust of it." The old couple bid good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will say" sends them along by-paUjs to the gate of the Old Ladies' home. Miss Abigail, matron of the Old Ladies' home, hears of th« ill fortune of the old couple. She tells the other old ladies, and Blossy, who has paid a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict that Abe must be taken in with his wife. Abe awakens next morning to find that he Is "Old Lady No. 31." The old ladles eve him such a warm welcome that he made to feel at home at once. "Brother Abe" expands under the warm reception of the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in the Old Ladles' hbme. Abe is the center of the community. The semi-annual visit of Bossy's aged lover, Capt. Samuel Darby, Is due. Abe advises her to marry him. For the first time the captain fails to appear. Blossy consults Abe so often regarding Darby, his old captain in the life-saving service, that gossip begins to buss. At the feast in celebration of the anniversary of the Roses' arrival at the home, Abe lauds Blossy in his speech, and Angle is sent from the room. CHAPTER IX. A.Winter Butterfly. "Cap'n Rose," began Aunt Nancy. Brother Abe pricked up his ears at the formal address. "Cap'n Rose," she . repeated, deliberately dwelling on the title. "I never believe ii/callin' a man tew account In front of his wife. It gives him somebody handy ter blame things on tew jest like ole Adam. Naow, look a-here! What I want is ter ask yew jest one question: Whar, whar on 'arth kin we look fer a decent behavin' ole man ef not in a Old Ladies' hum? Would yew—" she exhorted earnestly, pointing her crooked forefinger at him. "Would yew—" Abraham caught his breath. Beads of sweat had appeared on his brow. He broke in huskily: "Wait a minute, Aunt Nancy. Jest tall me what I've been an' done." The ladies glanced at one another, contemptuous, incredulous smllee on their faces, while Aunt Nancy almost wept at his deceltfulness. "Cap'n Rose," Bhe vowed mournfully, "I've lived in this house fer many, many years, an' all the while I been here I never heard tell o' a breath o' scandal ag'in' the place until yew come an' commenced ter kick up yer heels." Lazy Daisy, who had long been an Inmate, also nodded her unwieldy head In confirmation, while a row murmur of assent arose from the others. Abraham could only pass his hand over his brow, uneasily shuffle his maligned heels over the floor and await further developments; for he did not have the slightest conception as to "what they were driving at." ' "Cap'n Rose," the matriarch proceeded, as in the earnestness of her indignation ehe arose, trembling, In her seat and stood with her palsied and shaking hands on the board, "Cap'n Rose, yer conduct with this here Mis' Betsey Ann Blossom has been somethin' reediculousl It's been disgraceful IV Aunt Nancy sat down, Incongruously disreputable in appearance, her pink bow having slipped down over her right ear during the harangue. Over the culprit's countenance light had dawned, but. shame to tell! it was a light not wholly remorseful. Then silent laughter shook the old man's shoulders, and then-—could it be?— there crept about his lips and-eyes a . smile of superbly masculine conceit The sisters were fighting over him. Wouldn't mother be amused when he should tell her what all this fuss was about "Now, kindly, short-sighted Miss Abigail determined that it was time tor the matron's voice to be heard. "Of course, Brother Abe, we understand perfectly that yew never stopped ter take Inter consideration haow suaeeptible some folk* is made." , There being plain evidence from 4 Ape's blank expression that he did not eadcrstand the meaning of the word,, Baby Lee hastened to explain. "Bteeeptible is the same as flightyheaded. Blossy allers was a fool over anything that wore breeches." Abe pushed his chair back from the table and crossed his legs comfortably, for hint all the chill had gone out of the air. Suppose that, there was something in this? An old, old devil of vanity came back to the aged husbandw heart He-recalled that he had ^ been somewhat of a beau before he .- learned *he Jer of loving Angy. More than 'one- Long Island lassie had *"• thrown hereeK at-his head. Of course Blossy would "get over" this; and. knew that his heart was hers as a*4t hadiwen the day he purchased his wedding-beaver; but Abe could not refrain from a chuckle of complacent amusement as he stroked hie beard. His very evident hardness of heart so horrified the old ladies that they all began to attack him at once. "Seems ter me I'd have the decency ter, show some shame 1" grimly avowed Sarah Jane. Abe could not help it. He sputtered. Even Miss Abigail's, "Yew were a stranger an' we took yew in" did not sober him. "Ef any one o' my husbands had acted the way you've acted, Abe Rose," began Mrs, Homan. "Poor leetle Angy," broke In the gentle Mise Ellie pityingly. "She must 'a' lost six pounds." Abraham's mobile face clouded over. "Angy?" he faltered. "Yew don't mean that Angy—" Silence again fell on the group, while every glance was fastened on Abraham. "See here," he flashed his faded blue eye. "Angy's got more sense than that!" No one answered, but there was a significant shrugging of shoulders and lifting of eyebrows. Abraham was tsfi-/ (^^^ KI^U •v-'. No One Moved to See Them Off. distressed and concerned enough now. Rising from his place he besought the sisters: "Yew don't think Angy's feelin's have been hurt—dew yew, gals?" Their faces softened, their figures relaxed, the tide of feeling changed in Abraham's favor. Miss Ellie spoke very softly: "Yew know that even 'the Lord thy God Is a jealous God.' " Abraham grasped the back of hie chair for support, his figure growing limp with astonishment. "Mother, jealous of me?" he whispered to himself, the memory of all the years and all the great happenings of all the years coming back to him. "Mother jealous of me?" He remembered how he had once been tormented by jealousy in the long, the ever-so-long ago, and of a sudden he hastened into the hall and went half-running up the stairs, He took hold of the latch of his bedroom door. It did not open. The door was locked. "Angy!" he called, a fear of he knew not what gripping at hie heart "Angy!" he repeated as she did not answer. The little old wife had locked herself in out of very shame of the rare tears which had been brought to the surface by the sisters' cruel treatment of Abraham. When she heard his call she hastened to the blue wash-basin and began hurriedly to dab her eyes. He would be alarmed If he saw the. traces of her weeping. Whatever had happened to him, for his eake she must face it valiantly. He called again. Again she did not answer, knowing that her voice would be full of the telltale tears. Abe waited. He heard the tramp of feet passing out of the dining room into the halt He heard Blossy emerge from her room at the end of the passage and go tripping down the stairs. The time to Angy, guiltily bathing her face, was sfcort; the time to her anxious husband unaccountably long. The sound of wheels driving up to the front door came to Abe's ears. Still Angy made him no response. • ' * • "Angy!" he'raised his voice la piteous pleading. What mattered if the' slaters gathered in (he lower hall heard him? What mattered if the chance guest who had just arrived heard him also? He had bis peace to make with his wife and he would make it "Angy!" She flung the door open hastily. The signs of the tears had not been obliterated, and her face was drawn and old. Straightway she put her hand on his arm and searched, his face inquiringly. "What did the gale say ter yew?" she whispered. "Abe, yew made a mistake when yew picked out Bl—" "Poor leetle mother!" he interrupted. "Poor leetle mother t" a world of remorseful pity in bis tone. "So yew been jealous of yer ole man?" Angeline, astonished and Indignant withdrew her hand sharply, demanding to know if he had lost his senses; but the blinded old gentleman slipped his arm around her and, bending, brushed his lips against her cheek. "Thar, thar," he murmured soothingly, "I didn't mean no harm. I can't help it ef all the gals git stuck on me!" Before Angy could make any reply, Blossy called to the couple softly but insistently from the foot of the stairs; and Angy, wrenching herself free, hastened down the steps, for once In her life glad to get away from Abe. He lost no time in following. No matter where Angy went, he would follow until all was well between Jber and him again. But what was this? At the landing, Angy halted and so did Abe, for in the center of the sisters stood Blossy with her Sunday bonnet perched on her silver- gold hair and her white India shawl over her shoulders, and beside Blossy stood Capt. Samuel Darby with a countenance exceedingly radiant his hand clasped fast in that of the aged beauty. "Oh, hurry, Sister Angy and Brother Abe!" called Blossy. "We were waiting for you, and I've got some news for all my friends." She waited smilingly for them to join the others; then with a gesture which included every member of the household, she proceeded: "The pink tea, I want you all to know, had a double significance, and first, of course, it was to celebrate the anniversary of Brother Abe's sojourn with us; but next it wae my farewell to the Home." Here Blossy gurgled and §ave the man at her right so coy a glance that Samuel's face flamed red and he hung his head lower to one side than usual, like a little boy that had been caught stealing apples. "I left the tea a trifle early— you must forgive me, Brother Abe, but I heard the train-whistle." Abe stood beside Angeline, rooted In astonishment, while Blossy continued to addrees him directly. "You gave Samuel so many good recommendations, dear brother, that when the time approached for his June visit, I felt that I simply could not let him miss it as he did in December. Last year, on the day you entered, he was here through no desire of mine. Today he is here at my request My friends," again she Included the entire home in her glance, "we'll come back a little later to say good-by. Now, we're on the way to the minister's." The pair, Samuel tongue-tied and bewildered by the joy of his finally won success, moved toward the door. On the threshold of the home Blossy turned and waved farewell to the companions of her widowhood, while Samuel bowed In a dazed fashion, his face still red as it was blissful. Then quickly the two passed out upon the porch. No one moved to see them off. Abe looked everywhere yet nowhere at all. Not a word was spoken even when the carriage was heard rolling down the drive; but the sound of the wheels seemed to arouse Angy from her stupor of amazement; and presently Abraham became conscious of a touch—a touch sympathetic, tender and true—a touch all-understanding— the touch of Angy's hand within his own. ,w Disaster of a Century Ago. Several lives were lost and much property destroyed by an explosion of gunpowder which occurred at Woolwich 100 years ago. Woolwich la the most ancient military and naval arsenal in England. In its dockyard menof- war were built as long ago as the beginning of the sixteenth century. The royal arsenal contains a factory for the making of shells and ear* tridges and a mammoth foundry for casting armor and ordnance, In addition to vast magaslnee of great guns, powder and other warlike stores. The Royal Military academy, where officers are trained for the British army, also is a part of the institution. Dorinf- ehe centuries of its existence the arsenal has been the scene of many disastrous fires and fatal explosions. One of the most recent of the explosions occurred in 1908 and resulted In the death or serious injury of more than thirty persona.

"The late Cy Warman, novelist and author of the immortal 'Sweet Marie,' " said a Chicago editor, "always insisted that poetry ought to follow the tame rules aa prose. He wouldn't stand for poetical Inversions —the adjective after the noun, the object before the verb, and so forth. 'But what difference do these inversions make, Cy?' asked a reporter once. 'All the difference In the world,' Cy Warner answered. 'Did yon never hear of the minister's wife whose son eloped from college?

Passengers' on a steamer to Port land were surprised when about fifteen ntUes from the Maine port to hear voices and music coming apparently from the sir. When they got into the harbor they found that on a boat tied up at the wharf there was a wireless apparatus, to which, was attached a wtredesr telephone attachment on whioh the operator had been CHAPTER X. The Turn of thc Tide. From time Immemorial the history of the popular hero has ever been the same. To king and patriot, to the favorite girl at school and the small boy who Is leader of the "gang," to politician, to preacher, to actor and author, comes first worship then eclipse. The great Napoleon did not escape this common fate; and the public idol who wae kissed only yesterday for his gallant deeds is scorned today for having permitted the kissing. Oh, caprice of the human heart! Oh, cry of the race for the unaccustomed! From that first anniversary of his entrance into the home, Abraham felt his popularity decrease—in fact more than decrease. He saw the weathervane go square about, and where he had known for three hundred and sixty-five days the gentle, balmy feel of the southwest zephyr, he found himself standing of a sudden in a cold, bleak northeast wind. The change bewildered the old man, and reacted on his disposition. As he had blossomed in the sunshine, so noW he began to droop in the shade. Feeling that he was suspected and criticized, he began to grow suspicious and fault-finding himself. His old notion that he had no right-to take a woman's place in the institution came back to his brain, and he would brood over it for hours at a time, sitting out on the porph with his pipe and Angy. The old wife grieved to think that father was growing old and beginning to show his years. She made him some tansy tea, but neither her persuasions nor those of the whole household could induce him to take it. He had never liked "doctoring" anyway, although he had submitted to it more or lees during the past year in unconeclous subservience to his desire to increase his popularity; but now he fancied that where once he had been served as a king by all these female attendants, he was simply being "pestered" as a punishment for his past behavior with Blossy. Ah, with its surprising ending that had been a humiliating affair; and he felt too that he would be long In forgiving Mrs. Darby for not having confided to him her actual intentions. Now he was afraid to be decently courteous to one of the sisters for fear that they might accuse him of light dalliance again; and he scarcely ever addressed the new member who came to take BlosBy's little room, for he had been cut to the quick by her look of astonishment when she was told that he belonged there. In hie mental ferment the old man began to nag at Angy. Sad though it is to confess of a hero honestly loved, Abraham had nagged a little all his married life when things went wrong. And Angeline, fretted and nervous, herself worried almost sick over father's condition, was guilty once in a while out of the depths of her anxiety of nagging back again. So do we hurt those whom we love best as we would and could hurt no other.

Petrograd.—I had the good fortune to ride with a Cossack detachment throughout the Manchurlau war and one of my old Cossack friends who was brought back to Petrograd, wounded, from Lemberg, has given me some account of the engagements which took place near the Galician capital. The Cossacks were often three days In the saddle and were the first Russians to enter Lemberg. "Our turn came," said my Cossack friend, ''when the Austrlans began to give way to our infantry. Then we were let loose on the-enemy's broken rear and soon converted <he retreat into a rout. We heard them cry out in terror, 'Die Kozaken! Die Kozaken!' Swept Like Straw. "The Hungarian cavalry tried to stop us, but we swept them aside like straw. They had red breeches and beautiful Jackets, like those worn by our Cossack women. They also had fine horses and were good riders, but did not know in the least how to use their spears. When we, the Don Cossacks, Btick men with our spears we throw into the blow not only our own weight, but the whole weight of our horses. "The Austrlans fled in panic, throwing aw$y their rifles, abandoning their cannons and machine guns and transport wagons full of hay and provisions. The same morning the Cossacks rode into the conquered town. All the shops were closed and more than half the inhabitants had fled. Those who remained cheered the Russian vanguard. Welcomed by People. "Triumphal arches made from the boughs of trees were erected across the streets. Russian flags floated from the windows and many of the townspeople greeted us in good Russian. Nobody fired on us. We were received as friends and brothers and everybody waB very kind. "Before noon General Ruzsky rode down the principal street, preceded by a military band and a standard bearer carrying the Russian flag. We, Don Cossacks, had our trumpeters with us when we entered, a,nd it was as if we entered Kiev or Holy Moscow itself. The church bells rang and the Pravostavy popes came out of their churches in vestments and blessed us as we passed. Little girls dressed in white strewed flowers in the path of General Ruzsky, who rode, surrounded by his officers, and the wise men of the town met him in their robes of office and made him an address of welcome." Campaign Is Bloody. We have heard little of the prolonged and terrible struggle in Poland and Galicla. Nevertheless that campaign has been as bloody as that on the Meuse, and the Austrian, though beaten, has struggled gallantly. The Russians greet the Austrlans in a friendly way when prisoners arrive. It is not easy to arrive at a correct estimate of the number of Austrian prisoners now interned in various parts of Russia. The Bourse Gazette, one of the leading evening newspapers of Petrograd, sets the figure at 300,000. Among them is the former Austrian commandant of Lemberg. The prison' ers include^ an extraordinary number of-Slavs. Prisoners a Puzzle. "What shall we do with our Austrian prisoners V Is the cry of the moment. The best Austrian troops, those from the Tyrol, have no quarrel with the Slavs and know nothing about them, while the troops from eastern Austria are half Slav themselves, or else are easy-going and not serious. This want of seriousness constitutes a great moral defect in the Austro- Hungarian army. It explains the readiness of the Austrlans to retreat or surrender. The following communication, has been received from the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian forces In the field: Fortress Is Bombarded. "The enemy has approached Oasowets from the north and has begun the bombardment of the fortress. I n Galicla we hare occupied Debica, on the railway 65 miles east of Cracow, and between Bzessow and Tarnow. "At Coloujok w e defeated a detach* m«nt of the enemy and captured his artillery and many prisoners. Continuing the pursuit, we entered Hungary." * Meets B i * Obstacle*. The Russian army In Bast Prussia under General Rennenkampff has been meeting terrible obstacles for the last three weeks. One of the greatest of thate is the fortified camp in the socalled Masurian lake district of German Poland. There are innumerable small lakes and t h e marshy ground between them Is oorered with foreeta Checked fey. BIQ German Fore*. . The area is occupied by a German amy of from «»,«& to 100,000 man, which menaces toward the north any movement in the direction of Koenigaberg and toward the south all Russian -attempts to reach Thorn and Graudenz. For this reason General Rennenkampff 's army, after its flrBt unchecked advance, could not proceed and it even had to retire for safety until a largo force could be brought up to stop the activities from the Mazurian lake camp, by which the progress of the Russians in East Prussia was checked. Changed Times in Russia. The case of Bourteseff, the Russian revolutionist, is a sign of the changed times in Russia and his-return indicates the state of mind of many men like him. He told me that he had returned not to make peace with the internal reactionary opposition, because he could not forget the hundreds of thousands of people who are imprisoned or exiled, but to give an impulse to the national effort in the direction of a new era in the country's foreign policy. Until now the Russian government had supported Prussian militarism and had especially oppressed Russian Poland. Instead of protecting the Poles, who are the most civilized of the Slavs, it had persecuted them. Bourteseff and others hope to arouse such support and enthusiasm among the Poles that the government cannot withdrew later in its promise to form a united, self-governing Poland. AUSTRIANS IN PANIC AT FALL OF LEMBERG By CAMILLO CIANFARRA. Rome. — Returning after a two months' stop with the Austrian general staff, Arnoldo Fraccaroli, the Corrier de la Sera's correspondent, thus described Lemberg's fall: "Up to August 16 Lemberg lived In happy Ignorance of the events on the Galician frontier. The Austrlans still believed the Russian army sadly disorganized and led by drunken, epileptic generals. "The censor had taken all precaution against the truth leaking out. One thing only was overlooked, and that is what happened one afternoon while the population promenaded in the parks and thoroughfares. Lemberg was suddenly invaded by thousands of refugees arriving from every direction by foot, rail and on horseback. They related the wildest stories of the Cossacks' doingB. "The flood of refugees continued eight days, bringing along waves of despair, fear and misery until the population had swelled from 240,000 to 350,000. First Greet Panic "Simultaneously the wounded began arriving. Schools, churches, offices and theaters were transformed into hospitals. On August 26 the city was housing 40,000 wounded. "On the same day the Cossacks appeared three miles from the city, causing the first great panic. The railroad depots were besieged and a general exodus began. Now the truth was fully known, and news from the front increased the panic. "Simultaneously the city was being* treated to the weirdest spectacles. Pickets passed hourly, escorting to be hanged or sh& groups of men, women*, children and priests whom the Austrlans considered friendly to the Russians. "Between the 26th and 28th of August the Russian artillery succeeded in taking a position without being detected. Suddenly the Russian guns opened a tempest of fire on the Eleventh army corps, which had come within range, and with the help of the Russian Infantry and machine guns was annihilated. "The Third corps, dispatched to replace them, met with the same fate. Then the Twelfth was rushed out to be shot, sustaining enormous losses. "Of 4,000 men forming the Twentyseventh Trieste regiment Only 600 survived. Of the Seventeenth Lublan regiment only 800 survived; not an officer was left Many Die In Panic "On the morning of August 81 a train ef one hundred cars was made ready by the authorities to send out the first refugees, but as soon as the depot gates'were opened the panic* stricken crowd rushed to the train. Wild scenes followed. Children were crushed, women were trodden down. The train left with people strapped to every support "On the afternoon of August 81 a 86- hour armistice was arranged, and 00,- 000 Austrian and Russian dead were buried. Nearly double that number of wounded were removed. "On the morning' of September 8 a generar alarm was sounded. It was the end. Every Austrian soldier fled without taking his arms or ammunition/* '"; :" -7- Annual Crop of Oats. The world's annual crop of oatB, including the total of the 17 countries Which are the chief producers, is 3,- 426,000,000 bushels a year. The United States raised 1,123,000,000 bushels, which places her In a position to export large quantities without feeliug the loss. A very large part of the corn crop is raiBed In the United States. Of the total annual crop of 2,776,000,000 bushels raised by nine countries the United States raises 2,373,000,000 bushels. It Is surprising to find that Hungary produced upward of 200,000,001) bushels and Italy 100,000,000 bUHhels. The world's crop of barley grown in 17 countries was last year 1,225,000,000 bushels, of which only 173,000,000 was raiBed in America.

A Pinckney correspondent to the Howell Tidings says that village is one of the most healthful in the state as nearly everyone lives to more than three score years and ten. Well, we have always heard that the simple, quiet life was conducive^ to longevity, and at Pinckney the accent can be placed on the "quiet."—South Lyon Herald. The uncalled for comment on our little village by our brother editor, Pierce of South Lyon, reminds us of that old adage that "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." A new kind of farm activity has come into being. It bids fair to push the big times of threshing meetings into discard, It is the picnic of filling the silo. The silo cutter and its attendants takes several men and already we see how our neighborly farmers will in a few years be trading work in silo filling, while the farm wives will each conspire to build dinners that will last pleasantly in the memories of the silo men. Such filling is going to fit into that spell time of the farmer that comes after harvest and afore corn shuckin. When the Democrats of Livingston county nominated Ruth Johnson Lemen, daughter of E. £ . Johnson, druggist, of Howell, as their candidate for county school commissioner, they certainly knew what they were doing. Mrs. Lemen has had nine years of experience in teaching, first as principal of the rural normal schools of Wisconsin and then as a teacher in ^the grades of the Howell public schools. She perfectly understands every phase of teaching and would make a most excellent commissioner. Mrs. Lemen is a graduate of the Howell pnblio schools and also of the Normal at Ypsilanti. She has always proven herself to be a very faithful working woman and she would surely fill the position with best interests at heart for the patrons of the rural schools. 1?f !ff Wff F W W Wf?F !f f W W# !ff Wf WW WW W rTf W W W TTf^ • GROCERIES -at y L E S S THAN I WHOL-ESALE ££ ££ P R I C E S JUST A LITTLE LONGER T h e Wholesale Dealers Offer to T f k e My Entire ^ Stock at My Present Prices ^ | S t o r e Will Be Closed Por the Winter Soon | Smith's G r o c e r y % £ Lakeland, Mich. /I SAW We Sell All Kinds of Good Saws SAWS This Is a Real Store For Tools Only a picture can adequately dttciibe the dainty finery of the summer girl, Some special gown, worn on some special occaaiou.

Ave., Olney, Ill.~"When my trouble first began I noticed little pimples coming on my face. They Itched and burned so badly that I had to scratch them and that only made them worse. About a week latex my face was BO badly covered with pimples and blackheads that I was ashamed. My complexion was ruined. The pimples would sometimes bleed and fester. "I bought a box of complexion cream and used it but without effect. One day I heard of Guticura Soap and Ointment and I decided to give them a trial. So I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment washed my face with the Soap and applied the Ointment and in two weeks I wae completely ^ well." (Signed) Chas. E. McGinn, May 5, 1914.

LIGHT BOOZE. Do You brink Itf ; A minister's wife had quite a tus- «Ie with coffee and her experience is Interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while, on night duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a hot cup of coffee about that time. I could keep awake better. "After three of four years of coffee drinking, I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time 1 was subject to frequent bilious attacks, sometimes* so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that It had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit "I began taking Postum, and for a - few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lac# of the coffee drag, : but I liked the taste of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage an right "Finally I began to feel clearer- - headed and had steadier nerves.

The more recreation we have the less vice there will be in the country, and I regard the'football match on a Saturday afternoon as one of the best possible devices to keep men in the purity of the open air. I believe that the increase of sport is the biggest factor in the increase of temperance, and go so far as to say if you take the Church of England away from London you remove the greatest sporting Influence. Some people object to the professional footballer, but I see no reason why a man of that class who gives entertainment to the public should not be paid for bis services just in the same way'as a muelclan or a parson. If we waat the best we always have to pay for it.—Rev, A. J. Waidron, in T. P.'s Weekly, London. Helping the Lawyer. When a certain North Carolina jurist made his first appearance at the bar as a young lawyer he was given charge by the state solicitor of the prosecution of a man who was accused of some misdemeanor. Although there was practically no evidence against the man, the youthful attorney did his best, but wae astonished when the jury brought in a verdict of "guilty." After t\e trial one of the jurors tapped the young lawyer on the shoulder. "We didn't think the man was guilty," he explained, "but at the same time didn't like te discourage a young lawyer by acquitting him." Dolls Have Character. The dolls from France and Germany are large-headed, round-faced, vacanteyed creatures that have made "dolllike prettiness" the synonym for complete insipidity. The American dolls are In many cases not pretty at all. They are what dealers call "character dolls." They have expression. They remind one of the little girl In the story who teld an overcrltical grownup that ehe might not be p-r-e-t-t-y, but she could s-p-e-1-1. Few of them are beautiful, but all of them are interesting. And they are very American indeed. With the failure of French and German dollies to travel overseas these very American persons must take their places. Olden Punctuations. In the early days of their craft compositors had no need to worry about quotation marks. Punctuation was then of the simplest, consisting only of an oblique line and a full stop. The first book to Introduce the colon and notes of interrogation and exclamation appears to have been a "Lactantlus," printed at a monastery near Rome in 1465. Title pages were also unknown in those early days. The books started straight off with "Here beginneth" an author's or publisher's name being prefixed. This causes much difficulty in attributing early work to the proper sources. w PRESIDENT OF FRANCE VISITS BATTLE FRONT Allies Encouraged By Ruler Who is Permitted to Join Gen. J off re GREAT BATTLE ON AISNE IS STILL WITHOUT RESULT French Claim That Enveloping Move ment Continues and That Crown Prince Is Forced to Retreat. Ocean Is Holland's Defense. Holland's safety in time of war lies in her ability to flood great tracts of land. William .of Orange flooded the country in 1S74, and by so doing drove out the Spanish invaders. The same policy was adopted on the occasion of ths French invasion of 1675. The movement of a lever at Amsterdam i t sufficient to open every dyke and damin Holland simultaneously, it Is said, to put under water within the* space of a few hours the whole country from Naarden on the Zuyder Zee, by Utrecht, to Geertruidenbtrg, at the mouth of the Mouse. Possible Good In Accident A young man who, having run up a lot of bills which were considerably beyond his means to pay. was much pestered by collectors. He, however, had the disposition of a true lfioaw» ber and did not allow himself to be put out by their attentions. One day a collector oame to his house, and In mounting the4ey>froit steps slipped and broke his arm. The young spendthrift who was looking out of the window at the time, remarked calmly: *'Welt I hope tlut will se alesson to them to keep away from me for a while." HAD NO TIME FOR THE WAR London—The twenty-second day of fighting along the Aisne seems to have found little advantage for either side, although both claim to be satisfied with results. The allies resumed t h | movement to envelope von Kluck, stormed the German trenches north of Soissons and accelerated the retreat of Crown Prince Frederick William. Reserved, cautious and generalized, the government reports contain nevertheless, a new note of satisfaction. The thrust to destroy von Kluck's supply lines and rolL his army back on von Buelow's is again under headway north and east of Arras, where the fighting, tremendously violent is indecisive. There are reports that flying columns have circled toward the Belgian frontier. Fury Slackens In East Probably the most important success of the twenty-second day of the battle was gained near Soissons by breaking the west end of the Germans' long fortified and almost impregnable position reaching from the Aisne to the Sulppe. Hitherto, the German have frustrated all such attacks. . Eastward to the Argonne ridge the combatants, both behind unbreakable fortifications, did not risk frontal attacks. Battle fury slackened. There, allies and Germans await the decision at the west. But in the forts of the Argonne, misfortune runs at the heel of the German crown prince. His efforts to cooperate with the Bavarians and von Heerlgen in assaulting che barrier fortresses were defeated, he was energetically pursued as he^fled northward. His repulse necessarily weakens the whole German line. Guerrlla warfare continues in Lorraine and the Vosgee, where Germans and French, holding strong positions, thrust at each other in day and night raids, neither side' able to progress, despite small but most sanguinary engagements. Thus fighting, whleh would compel attention at another time, is lost sight of in the vast and dramatic combat at the west. President Visits Front The president of France and the cabinet council have been permitted to visit General Joffre's headquarters because the situation, for the first time, is favorable to the presence of the government near the battle front The Germans continue their persistent attack on the outer defenses of Antwerp, according to London dispatches. , Apparently they are engaged in a desperate attempt to capture the port and they are in a desperate hurry to do i t They are pounding away with Austrian mortars at the fogs of Waelhem and Wavre-St. Catherine and are flinging their infantry forward in frantic efforts to break through. So far they have accomplished little and have Buffered terrific losses. As far as can be learned, the only men they have available are marines and the Iandwehr, although it is reported that fresh troops pf the line are being brought inv Reports of the number killed vary considerably but the figure many times repeated is 8,000. Heretofore, fortresses have not stood long before the big German siege guns which have been brought up. But Antwerp is in a differentcategory, as, in addition to being stronger than any fortress yet attacked, there is a considerable space in which the field army can operate against the besieging forces. The Germans have also been active in two,widely separated parts of Belgium. They visited Toumai Saturday and announced that they were an advance guard of 1,000 men proceeding to Lille; while Sunday night and Monday morning fighting was going as far to the east near Lanaeken, northwest of Maastricht One report-said Lanae*4- ken was on lire, but another declared it was a nearby village that was burning. A number of fugitives have arrived at Maastricht as well at some Belgian soldiers, who had been interned. Good Reason Why Mr. Staokrlder Knew Nothing About the Conflict In Europe. "One of my hens laid an egg this morning with a big 'W' on it as plain aB could be!" stated Farmer Gapp. "Well, that don't hurt it for ma> ketin', does it?" returned neighbor Stackrider. "No, but that *W' is a sign of war. and what 1 don't understand is how the hen knew." "Knew what—the alphabet?" "No, about the war." "What warr "Good gracious, Bzry! Haven't you heard about the terrible war in Burope?"

This year taxes to be paid by the several counties, will amount to $6,129,228 However, the tax this year will be $676,919.96 higher than in 1912. The decrease this year is .dne, of course, to some extent, to the fact that there was no session of the legislature. With large appropriation measures, the state tax is always higher the year of a session of the legislature.

Pinckney, Livingston-County, Michigan, Thursday, October 1, 1914 No. 40 ONLY FEW DAYS LEFT OF CONTEST $&&': w- • * * : ' t<; <,. mt •A?-- -«•• s* •• Hustlera Por Piano Must Put In Best W o r k to t h e End.— Pinal Count W i l l Be Held Friday, October 2 3 r d . It is TJme to Get Busy. Now listen! There is absolutely QO truth in the statement that this is the closed season for hunting subscriptions to the Dispatch. The law, (made by the Dispatch,) permits live, active, aggressive contestants to hunt suhscriptious until the close of the contest and there is a bounty on them too. For every new subscription brought in, a bounty of 600 votes in the Dispatch Popular Voting Contest is paid. Some happy young lady is going to march away from the Dispatch office in just a short time wearing the smile that won't •come cff, because that young lady will have won the grand Obermeyer & Sons piano,. There are only a few more days left of this .contest That means that the race still belongs to anybody who has just a little initiative. The fact of the matter is that no one yet has such a start that it could not be easily overcome in a few days of consistent work. This is certainly the most glorious opportunity that the young ladies of this community have ever had. Every contestant now thoroughly understands the rules and methods of securing »subscriptions and the majority of them have settled down in earnest zealouB work that eliminates idle -dreaming and means working for some definite point. The aimless haphazard soliciting has been dropped and a systematic campaign for votes is now in progress. There is no question but what everyone in and around Pinckney has been solicited, or at least has heard about this contest. The better field for operation now lies in the country, as practically every one in town is now a subscriber to the paper—or never will be. The contest department wants to urge on evDry contestant the necessity for making the next three weeks count for all they are worth. The time is growing short and it is only the real hastier who will have much of a show after that time. That is why it will pay to get in the game with all the energy you can command from this f: time until the close. Be sure and have your friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with -each dollar dish purchase. Have them ask for these coupons and «ave them for you. W, W.

It leadeth me in the path of ridicule For its name-sake, Yea though I ride through the valley I am towed up the hill; For I fear much evil. Thy rods and thy engine, They discomfort me. I prepare for blow-outs In the presence of my enemies, I anoint thy tires with patches, My radiator runneth over. Surely, if this thing follows me All the days of my life, Then I shall dwell In the Bug-house forever.

At the Battle-Front, Sept. 27 (via Paris).—French and British troops, intermingled Turcos and Moors, not only held their own, but caused the strongly re-enforced German western wing to reel backward near St. Quentin and imperiled the German line of communication toward the frontier of Belgium. The German center has been weakened by the rush of troops from that position to meet the threatening movement of the allies and two strong forces were engaged at close quarters between St. Quentin and Tergnier. The following official statement was issued by the official press bureau in Paris: "On our left wing, in the region to the northwest of Noyon, our first lines, having come into collision with superior forces of the enemy, were obliged to yield a little ground. Reenforced by fresh troops, these detachments have vigorously resumed the offensive. The conflict in this region Is taking on a character of especial violence. "At the center there is nothing new. "On our right wing, before the attacks of our troops coming out from Nancy and Toul, the enemy has begun to give way in the southern part of the Woevre district, and is falling back towards Le Rupt-de-Mad. The action continues on the heights of the Meuse. The German forces have been able to penetrate to the vicinity of St. Mihiel, but they were not able to cross the Meuse." Fresh British troops have been landed in France and are being rushed to the firing line to support the exhausted Boldiers who have been under fire continuously for more than a month. The thirteenth day of this special conflict found the French'troops still pressing vigorously against the army of General von Kluck in their efforts to encircle the German right and crush it or force it back. To Shell Verdun With Huge Guns. Berlin, Sept. 27 (via wireless via London).—An official statement given out says: "The siege guns have been taken from Metz to bombard Verdun. The French are striving to prevent the arrival of these guns, but they are steadily approaching nearer. The reduction of Verdun cannot be averted when they reach a position where they can be operated with full effect. Our smaller guns continue their bombardment of the Verdun-Toul line with good effect. "The field engagements in France during the 24 hours ended at midnight have been minor affairs without any important developments. We hold our positions, there being no appreciable change in the lines. "The situation in Belgium and the eastern war theater is unchanged." Strike at General von Kluck. Paris, Sept. 26.—-The bloodiest fighting of the great battle of the Aisne is going on along the German right wing where the British and French are struggling furiously to surround and cut off the army of General von Kluck. The .French have swung round a gigantic circle and are now delivering a series of fierce""attacks upon the soldiers of General von Boehn who are ^defending the Mons route of German communications along a battle front through Combrai, Bouchain, Denain and St. Amand. An official statement announces that the French left wing is making steady progress and that Peronne has been occupied by the French. In an attempt to drive off the French troops who are threatening his line of communication General von Kluck is making a sharp attack upon the French forces at Peronne. Peronne is 17 miles northwest of St. Quentin and more than-70 miles northnortheast of Paris. In its turning movement, therefore, the left wing has advanced about 75 miles since it was driven across the Marne by the swift advance of the German right wing and there forced the Germans to turn to withdraw. The Germans are continuing their terrific attacks against the allies' center, in the vicinity of Reims, in an attempt to pierce it, but the French and the British, who were rushed to that point, are holding valiantly. A general of General von Kluck's staff, who was captured in the fighting around Amiens, has been brought to Paris, together with a number of other prisoners. Allies Make Advance. London, Sept. 25.—The great battle between the allies and the Germans continued today without decisive advantage to either side, and military experts here predicted that it may be several more days before the result is made definite. The official announcement made in Paris said that the allies had advanced on the western wing and had repulsed German attacks on the eastern wing. Messages which came in a roundabout way from Berlin asserted that the offensive Bpirit of the allies is weakening, tfnrt the center is retreating, and that the fortress of Verdun is being successfully bombarded. Germans Occupy Cracow. London, Sept. 27.—"That Cracow has been occupied by German troops, that the town has been put under a German military commandant and that the Austrian civil administration has been displaced Is the gist of the latest ad- HELIOGRAPHER OF THE CROWN PRINCE vices received here," says the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post.

The Germans have thrown three army corps into the Cracow district, according to this information, and are bringing more troops in preparation for the expected Russian attack.

The attack was made on Boulogne, just across from England at about the ""narrowest part of the channel.

Coming immediately after the loss to the British fleet in the North sea this report of Russian success in the Baltic was joyfully received here. One Shot Fired at Cathedral. The Marconi company of London has received the following wireless from Berlin: "The main army headquarters reports that one mortar shot only was fired by the Germans at the Reims cathedral because it was otherwise impossible to drive away the enemy's .observation post mounted on the structure."

Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sept. 29.—Edwin Denby of Detroit, Albert E. Sleeper of Bad Axe, Henry E. Morton of Muskegon, Henry C. Loveridge of Coldwater and Burt* S. Stratton of Lansing were today elected directors of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Co. of this city, which has over twenty million dollars of life insurance in force. Mr. Denby served three terms in Congress. He i« an attorney, a member of the well-known law firm of Chamberlain, May, Denby and Webster. He is also a Director of the Denby Motor Truck Co. of Detroit, a Director of the National Bank of Commerce and Treasurer of the Hupp Motor Car Co. Mr. Sleeper was formerly Treasurer of State. He is a banker and controls about a dozen banks in the Thumb District. He is also a director in the Merchants National Bank of Detroit. Mr. Morton is President of the Morton Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of large machinery, and President of the State Savings Bank at Muskegon Heights. ' Mr. Loveridge is one of the prominent attorneys of Southern Michigan and a ban*'director. Mr. Stratton is one of the leading life insurance men of the State and is General Agent at Lansing of the Lincoln Life. AH these gentlemen were formerly stockholders in the Michigan State Life Insurance Co. of Detroit, which was consolidated this last summer with the Lincoln Life. *toth companies were splendid life insurance organizations and the consolidation, which was made under the supervision and approval of the Insurance Commissioners of both Michigan and Indiana, has made the Lincoln Life one of the greatest companies in the middle West. It is interesting to read the comments of the leading insurance Journals of the country upon the success of the Lincoln Life: "The Lincoln National is one of the companies that has elicited the admiration of the insurance fraternity, owing ti the high character of its management. It has kept aloof from all schemes and pitfalls, desiring to develop along natural lines. Its team work at the home office and in the field has often been commented on, and is responsible for much of the results it has been able to achieve. UB directors comprise men of high standing and integrity, who are interested in the work of the company. Personnel of the Officers. "Arthur F. Hall, vice-president and general manager, is a man of keen ability, splendid character and extended experience. Franklin B. Mead, secretary and actuary of the Lincoln National, is one of the foremost actuaries in the country, and has done much original work in his line. "Walter T. Shepard, third vice-president and agency manager, Is one of the capable field generals of the West. He is in close touch with the agents, and he enjoys their respect. "The officers of the Lincoln National have been leaders in all movements looking toward reforms in life insurance. Their views on the responsibilities of life company officers have impressed policyholders with the fact that their interests are in safe hands. "The Lincoln National has been consistently progressive. It is one of the choice western companies that is built on bed rock and every piece of material in it is sound."—Western Underwriter, Chicago, May 14, 1914. "Among the companies of its-home state, the Lincoln National Life last year led in net gain in insurance, and of the fifty-one life companies now in business out of the sixty organized throughout the country during 1905, 1906 and 1907, the Lincoln National stood second in net increase in insurance in force during 1913. The company is truly a conspicuous success, and this is the more to its credit as it came into being at a time when the life insurance business was literally 'all she* to pieces.' "Offfnlied under the compulsory legal reserve law of Indiana, it more than complies therewith, its deposit with the Auditor of State always exceeding by a comfortable margin its policyholders' reserve liability. Its management la competent and efficient and deserving oLabsolute confidence.

Destined to Be a Giant "They have all been leaders in alt reform movements in life insurance and they are men whose first ceaceem Is the interests of policyholders. Wnder their management and with itsadded strength, the Lincoln National is destined to be one of the giante ef the West."—Indicator, Detroit, May 14, 1914. The addition of these five big men of Michigan to the already strong board of directors will doubly assure the 7,000 Michigan policyholders ef the company that their interests will be carefuly looked after. The financial statement ef this splendid company, with over twenty million dollars of insurance in force, will be found elsewhere in this issue. —Adv. An Immense Help.

His many friends extend hearty congratulations. Boys, when you speak of your father don't call him the 'old man.' Of course you are older now than when you were taught to call him "father." You are much smarter than you were then, you are much more manly looking, your, clothes fits you better, your hat has a modern shape and your hair is combed differently, in snort, you are 'flyer* than you were then. Your father has a last year's coat, a two-year old hat and a vest of still older pattern. He can't write such an elegant note as yon can and all that, but don't call him "old man." Call him father. For years he has been hustling aronnd to get things together, he has been held to the thorny path of uphill industry, and the brightest half of his life has gone from him forever. H e loves yon though he goes along without saying much about it, therefore be not so ungrateful—Ex. Edward VanHorn was a Howell visitor Monday. E. E. Hoyt and wife spent Tuesday in Jackson. Mrs. M. Monks spent one day last week in Howell. Esther Barton spent a few days the past week in Detroit. Every visitor to the Milford fair reports it as a "hummer."

A farmer tells us that he has practically rid his farm of gophers by the use of gasoline. He carries a bottle and a bunch of cotton and when he sees a gopher run into a hole he pours some gasoline upon a wad of cotton and places it at the month of the hole and covers the opening with dirt. The gas fumes are heavier than the air and it will go to the bottom of the hole In an attempt to get air, the gopher comes to the top of the hole and the gas does the rest. Remove cotton in about half an hour and Mr. Gogher will ba dead. The plan will apply to many other burrowing animals.

A pathologist of standing inveighs against the "self made man" in terms that will be surprising to many. "The self made man," he says, "la often in the process of degeneration, and the first evidence of degeneracy in a family is the selfishness and meanness or the cunning, avarice and moral guile by which the self made man succeeds in amassing a fortune for his still more degenerate children to spend In gratifying their selfish desires." There is another side to the matter, and Thoreau saw it when he said that the man who had acquired wealth would Insist on having bis sons educated, and thus he would become the real founder of a family.—Springfield Republican.

The Peruvians are a proud, Imperial race, living amid the grandest scenery of tbe western hemisphere and holding high Ideals of what is best in education* and the unbougbt grace of life. On the great country estates there is much of the fine tradltlonandchlvalrous sentiment that came from the best people of Castile and Aragon. The Indians of the high plateaus are a unique reminder of a civilization that bouts geoned centuries before tbe face of the white man had blossomed like a flower la; the western forests. The immemorial records of a civilization that vanished in the midst of man's earliest recollections are faintly suggested in splendid ruins among sublime scenes. The name and fame of the brilliant men who built the walls and temples of Guzco are lost, and all we know of the wonder and the charm of that forgotten culture in the Andes is found in the pathetic ruins of cities that are half as old as recorded time,—Peter MacQueen in National Magazine. Unwritten Law of the Sea. Here is one of the unwritten laws of the sea which we think could be repealed to advantage. It Is that which requires the captain of a ship to stay on the bridge during fog or very bad weather, no matter how long It continues. It is a fairly common thing to read in dispatches that the captain of this or that ship had been on the bridge for twenty-four or forty-eight or even sixty hours at a stretch because of storm or fog. Why should this be practiced? The most rugged man alive cannot be as alert, mentally and physically, after twenty-four hours of exposure as he was when he went on dnty. He cannot be as competent to render quick decisions—such, for instance, as an impending collision might call for—as a man who was un fatigued. The average transatlantic passenger, we fancy, would much pre fer to trust his life In an emergency to a fresh chief officer than to a jaded captain.—Marine News.

The Slovaks (Hungary) are a very peaceful, law abiding community, but there are probably black sheep among their number, and In front of a church at Postyen may be seen an ancient stone pillar, reminiscent of the days when punishment was meted out in much the same way as it was in England in those days. Fastened to this pillar in the center is a large iron clasp, and at the base two smaller ones close together. These clasps fitted around the waists and ankles of the offender, and when a man or woman had stolen something he or she was locked to this post on a Sunday and compelled to hold In the hands whatever had been stolen. Every Slovak attends church on Sundays, from which It may be gathered that this public-exposure was no small ordeal The post bears a terse Inscription, the translation of which is: "I do not ask you to come, but if you come I receive you.*—Wide World Magazine. Britain's Standing Army, The British standing army is a much more modern Institution than most people imagine. It dates from 1646, when the famous "new model" was established by act of the long parliament and maintained In existence notil the restoration. This army, which was organized by Cromwell, consisted of some 80,000 men and was probably the most effective army that England has ever possessed. But the cost was so great that on bis restoration Charles II. agreed to its abandonment, except a bodyguard: or household brigade of 5,000 sanctioned by parliament; which Included Monk's Coldstream regiment and two troops of cavalry raised by Charles himself, which formed the originals or the present Life guards.— London Standard.

Terror ol "what folks will n ^ y " sends them along hy-paths to the gate\of the Old Ladies' home. Miss Abigail, ink tron of t h e Old Ladies' home, hears 01 the ill fortune of the old couple. She tell* the other old ladles, and Blossy, who h a s \ paid a double fee for the only double bedchamber, voices the unanimous verdict t h a t Abe must be taken in with his wife Abe a w a k e n s next morning to find t h a t She is "Old Lady No. 31." T h e old ladles give him such a warm welcome t h a t he is made to feel a t home a t once. "Brother •Abe" expands under the w a r m reception !0f the sisters, and a reign of peace begins in the Old Ladies' home. Abe is the center of tlie community. T h e semi-annual visit of Blossy's aged lover. Capt. Samuel Darby, Is due. Abe advises h e r to m a r r y him. F o r the first time the captain fails to appear. CHAPTER VII—Continued. At night, however, she was obliged to admit that he could not be coming; iand then, quivering with honest anxl- ;ety for her old friend, Blossy dipped into her emergency fund, which she 'kept in the heart of a little pink china pig on a shelf in her room—a pink china pig with a lid made of stiff ;black h\?ir standing on edge in the middle of hifi hack—and sent a telegram to Captain Darby, asking if he were nick. < The answer came back slowly by mail, to find Blossy on the verge of a nervous collapse, under the care of all the women In the house. j That letter Blossy never showed to Brother Abe. nor to any one sfjfe. Neither did she treasure it in the sSnitimental trunk beneath the attic eaves. The letter ran: l>ar Betsy Ann: I never felt better In 'my life. Ain't been sick a minute. Just :made UD my mind I was a old fool, and {was going to quit. If you change your Indentions at any time. Just drop me a postal. As ever, SAM'L DARBY. ESQ. "This, Captain Darby, makes your rejection final," vowed Blossy to herself, as she tore the note into fragments and drowned them in the spirits of lavender with which the sisters Ibad been seeking to BOO the her distracted nerves. CHAPTER VIII. The Anniversary. About this time Blossy developed a tendency to draw Brother Abraham aside at every opportunity, convenient or inconvenient, in order to put such questions as these to him: 1 "Didn't you say it is fully thirty-five years since you and Captain Darby were on the beach together? Do you think he has grown much older? Had he lost his hair then? Did he care ifor the opposite sex? Was he very ibrave—or would you say more brave than stubborn and contrary? Isn't it a blessing that I never married him?/' Fearful of the ridicule-of the sisters, IBloesy was always careful to conduct 'these inquiries in whispers, or at least in undertones with a great observance of secrecy, sometimes stopping Abe on. the stairs, sometimes beckoning him to her side when she was busy about her household tasks on the pretense of requiring his assistance. On one occasion she even went so far as to inveigle him into holding a skein of wool about his clumsy hands, while she wound the violet worsted Into a ball, and delicately Inquired if he believed Samuel spoke the truth when ha protested that he had never paid court to any other woman. Alas, Blossy'* frequent tete-a-tete* with the amused but sometimes Impatient Abraham started an exceedingly foolish suspicion. When, asked the sisters of one another, did Abe ever help any one, save Blossy, shell dried beans or pick over prunes? When had he ever been known to hold wool for Angy's winding? Not once since wooing time, 1 warrant you. What could this continual ^hobnobbing and going off into corners mean, except— flirtation? Ruby Lee whispered K first into Aunt Nancy's good ear. Aunt Nancy indulged In four pinches 'of snuff in rapid succession, sneeted an amasing number of times, and then acridly informed Ruby Lee that she was a "Jeal- MS car* and always had been one. However, Aunt Nancy could not refrain from carrying the gossip to Miss Bnier adding that she herself had been of Abe's behavior from the "Qfr, no, no?' cried the shocked and Sfkrfaktog spinster. "And Angy so ' all the Urns? I dont believe But whisper, whisper, buzz, buzz, went the gossip, until finally it reached the pink little ears at the side of Miss Abigail e generously proportioned head. The pink ears turned crimson, likewise the adjoining cheeks, and Miss Abigail panted with righteous indignation. --— "It all comes of this plagued old winter time," she declared, sharply biting her thread, for she was mending a tablecloth. "Shet the winders on summer, an' yew ketch the tail of slander in the latch every time. Naow, hear one word about this 'tarnal hness comln' to Angy's ears, or er Abe's, or Blosey's either, fer !a,t matter, we'll afl have to eat off'n oil-cloth Sundays, the same as weekdays,, until I see a more Christian sperit In the house." She^ave the Sunday damask across her lap a pat which showed she was in earnest; and the rebuked sisters glanced at one another, as if to say: "Suppose the minister should walk in some Sabbath afternoon and find oil-cloth on the table, and ask the reason why?" They one and all determined to take Aunt Nancy's advice and "sew a button on their lips." Fortunately, too, the February thaws had already set in, and the remainder \ sianae '^fat n Was Careful to Conduct These Inquiries In Whispers. of the winter passed without any severe strain on the "buttonholes." And at length the welcome spring began to peep forth, calling to the old folks, "Come out, and grow young with the young year!" With the bursting forth of the new springtide the winter's talk seemed to drop as a withered and dead oak leaf falls from its winter-bound branches; and Abe stood once more alive to the blessings of renewed approval. Angy went out of doors with Miss Abigail, and puttered around among the flowers as it they were her own, thanking God for Abe'e increasing popularity in the same breath that she gave thanks for the new buds of the spring. The anniversary of the Roses' entrance into the Home drew nearer, and Blossy suggested that the best way to celebrate the event would he by means of a "pink tea." Neither Angy nor Abe, nor in fact half the sisters, had any clear conception of what a tinted function might he; but they one and all seised upon Blossy's idea as if it were a veritable inspiration, and for the time Jealousies were forgotten, misunderstandings erased. ^ Such preparations as were made for that teal The deaf-and-dumb gardener was sent with a detachment of small boys to fetch from the wayside and meadows armfuls of wild roses for the decorations. Miss Abigail made pink icing for the cake. Ruby Lee hung bleeding-hearts over the dining-room doe*. Aunt Nancy resurrected from the bottom of her trunk a white lace cap with a rakish-looking pink bow tor an adornment, and fastened it to her scant gray hairs in honor of the occasion. Blossy turned her pink china pig, bis lid left upstair*, into a sugar bowk Pink, pink, pink, everywhere; even in Angy's proud cheeks I Pink, and pink, and pink! Abe used to grow dizzy, afterward, trying to recall the various pink articles which graced that tea But most delightful surprise of all was his anniversary gift, which was slyly slipped to his place after the discuseion of the rose-colored strawberry gelatin, it was a square, five-pound parcel wrapped in pink tissue paper, tied with pink string, and found to contain so much Virginia tobacco, which Blossy had inveigled an old southern admirer into sending her for "charitable purposes." , * After the presentation of this valuable gift. Abraham felt that the time had come for him to make a speech— practically his maiden speech. He said at the beginning, more suavely at hie ease than he would have believed possible, secure of sympathy and approbation, with Angy's gtowing old eyes upon her prodigy, that all the while he had been at the Home, he had never before felt the power to express his gratitude for the welcome which had been accorded him—the welcome which seemed to wear and wear, as if it were all wool and a yard wide, and could never wear out. The old ladies nodded their heads In approval of this, every face beaming: but as the speech went on the others perceived that Abe had singled out Blossy for special mention—blind, blind Abraham—Blossy, who had firBt proposed admitting him into this paradise; Blossy, who had given up her sunny Bouth chamber to his comfort arid Angy's; Blossy, who had been as a "guardeen angel" to him; Blossy, who as a fitting climax to all her sisterly attentions had given him today this wonderful, wonderful pink tea. and "this five hull pound o' Virginny terbaccer." He held the parcel close to his bosom, and went on, still praising Blossy—this innocent old gentleman —heedless of Angy's gentle tug at his coat-tail; while Blossy buried her absurdly lovely face in the pink flush of a wild-rose spray, and the other old ladies stared from him to her, their faces growing hard and cold. When Abraham' sat down, aglow with pride over his oratorical triumphs, his chest expanded, his countenance wrinkled into a thousand guilelees, grateful smiles, there was absolute silence. Then Blossy, her head still bowed as if in shy. confusion, began to clap her hands daintily together, whereat a few of the others joined her half-heartedly. A sense of chill crept over Abraham. Accustomed as a rule to deferential attention, did he but say good morning, by no means aware that his throne had toppled during the winter, he was still forced to perceive that something had gone amis*. As always when aught troubled his mind, "father" turned to Angy; but Instead of his composed and resourceful little wife he found a scared-faced and trembling woman. Angy had suddenly become conscious of the shadow of the green-eyed monster. Angy's loyal heart was crying out to her mate: "Don't git the sisters daown on yer, Abe, 'cuz then, mebbe, yew'U lose your hum!" But poor Angeline'e lips were so stiff with terror over the prospect of the' county house for her husband, that she could not persuade them to speech. Abraham, completely at sea, turned next to her whom he had called his guardian angel; but Blossy was rising from ber seat, a baffling smile of expectancy on her face, the rose spray swinging in her delicate band as If to the measure of some music too far back in youth for anyone else to bear. Blossy had worn that expectant look all day. She might have been delightedly hugging to herself a secret which she had not shared even with the trusted Abraham. She was gowned in her yellow, lace, the beauty and grace of which had defied the changing fashions as Bloasy's remarkable elegance of appearance had defied the passing of the years. "Brother Abe,"—in her heedlessness of the mischief she had wrought, Blossy seemed almost to sing-—-"I never shall forget your speech as long as I live. Will you excuse me now?" She swept out of the door, her skirts rustling behind her. Abe collected himself so far ae to bow in the direction she had taken; then with lamblike eyes of inquiry met the exasperated glances cast upon him. Not ji sister moved or spoke. They all sat as if .glued to their chairs, in a silence that was fast growing appalling. Abe turned his head and looked behind his chair for an explanation; but nothing met his eye, save the familiar picture on the wall of two white kittens playing in the midst of a huge bunch of purple lilacs. Then there broke upon the stillness the quavering old voice of . Aunt Nancy, from her place opposite Abe's at the head of the board. The aged dame bad her two hands clasped before her on the edge of the table, vainly trying to steady their palsied shaking. Her eyes, bright, piercing, age-defying, she fixed upon the bewildered Abraham with a look of deep and sorrowful reproach. Her unsteady head bobbed backward and forward with many an accusing nod, arid the cap with its rakish pink bow bobbed backward and forward too. Abe watched her, fascinated, unconsciously wondering, even in the midst of his disquietude, why the cap did not slide off her bald scalp entirely. To his amazement, she addressed not himself, but Angy. "Sister Rose, yew kin leave the room." Implacable purpose spoke in Aunt Nancy's tone. Angy started, looked up, going first red and then white; but she did not move. 8he opened her lips to speak. "I don't want ter hear a word from yew, nor anybody else," sternly interposed Aunt Nancy. "I'm old enough ter be yer mother. Go upstairs!" Angy's glance sought Miss Abigail, but the matron's eyes avoided hers. The little wife sighed, rose reluctantly, dropped her hand doubtfully reassuring on Abe's shoulder, and then went obediently to the door. From the threshold she looked wistfully back; but an imperious wave from Aunt Nancy banished her altogether, and Abe found himself alone —not with the sisters whom he loved, but with 28 hard-visaged strangers.

In the year 1364 Boccaccio presentee to his friend Petrarch a copy of Saint Augustine's "Commentary on the Psalms." The poet thereupon sent to the author of the "Decameron," a letter written in Latin—part of which may be translated thus: "You have overwhelmed me with joy by a present magnificent and rare. Henceforth I shall swim more surely on the ssa of David. Into the midst of this troubled sea you have sent me a very sturdy ship and a clever pilot, Saint Augustine, whose genius is divine.

DAY OF THE SMALL INVESTOR Wiser Than the Speculator Is He Who Puts His Money Into Bonds That Work for Him. Of course, there are those who like to run the risk of speculation. Not infrequently some one writes me that be has a certain amount of, money with which he would like to speculate and that he will not complain if he loses. I don't encourage speculation,^ecause I am not a believer in it, yet I recognise that man is a horn speculator. One will speculate in real estate, another in cotton, corn, of! or cheese. The woman who goer to the bargain counter and, because something is cheap, buys it, though she does not need it, expects that she will need i t some day and she take* that chance. In other words, she speculates. In these days when $100 bonds of th* best kind are so-freely offered, and when a person can buy a single share of the most profitable railroad and industrial corporations just as readily as a big investor can buy 100 or 1,000 shares, it is not surprising that there are more small investors than ever before. They are scattered an over the country. Many a farmer, clerk or workman in the factory has quietly stowed away a few shares of stock* or a few ftlfc), $6*0 or $1,000 bonds.

V;iv* Paris—Desperate attempts made by the Germans on the western end of the long line of battle to break through the allies' forces which are engaged In a turning movement have resulted in the most furious fighting which has taken place since the beginning of the campaign.. After fighting without respite night and day, corps after corps bf Germans was hurled against the flower of the French and English armies, only to be thrown back. The infantry bore the brunt of the incessant fighting, but the artillery of both armies continued throughout 24 hours to bombard each other's positions. Hand-to-hand combats occurred at many points and bayonet were used freely. The French Colonial infantry, most of whose men were many medals for bravery displayed in colonial campaigns, was to the fore, and beside these men fought the black Sengalese troops, while further along the line the greatest determination. French 8how Great Courage. The French. troops showed more than their accustomed dash in attacks; everywhere acts of wonderful courage were performed. The cavalry also participated in the engagements at many points, the allies' horses having enjoyed a long rest which enabled this arm of the service to distinguish itself. The famous Scots Greys, finding that the color of their horses offered a prominent mark for the German riflemen, had dyed their mounts brown. * Another prominent French officer, General Marquet has met death on the field. At Nubecourt, home of the parents of President Poincare, the Germans broke open the Poincare family vault, it is reported, and buried a number of their dead there. The Germans placarded the town or Valenciennes, demanding from the mayors of neighboring communes lists of the available supplies of clothing and food. Big Battle On East Prussia. London—A dispatch from Petrograd says that a decisive battle is imminent on the border of East Prussia. The Germans are being heavily re* inforced. The armies are in close touch along the whole western line from near Meml, in the north, to the frontier of the government of Kalisch. Other dispatches from Petrograd report that fierce fighting still goes on in Gallcia, though Cracow, towards which the Russian hosts have been marching ever since Przemysl was invested and the communications cut, has not yet been attacked. To the north the German invasion is assuming vaster proportions, notwithstanding the Russian war office insists that the Germans are being repulsed at the frontier. It is estimated here that the German front extends from the Baltic coast to the southern boundary of Silesia, a distance of about 400 miles. What opposition the Germans have met is believed to have been little more than a cavalry screen. The fighting centered again along the river Niemen, from Drukenik% in SuwalU, Russian Poland, to Sopotxkin. The official statement issued at Petrograd said that the German artillery had been unable to assume the offensive at SopotzUn and that their retreat was more or Jess general. s, BRIEF NOTES OF WAR Durable Snow.

The man from the Soo was skeptical. "Well," he said, "maybe he might do that in Maine, but out here whure we have weather he never could have done it. Why, man, I've seen good sledding out here in August!" The Pine Tree man never blinked, but replied: "Nothing wonderful about that!

Bordeaux—The minister of the interior, Louis J, Malvy, announced Sunday that the famous cathedral of Rheims had been destroyed and all the other historic and public buildings either laid in ruins or seriously damaged during the bombardment of Rheims by the German artillery. The structures which the minister said had been destroyed or ruined included, in addition to the cathedral, the twelfth century church of St. Jacques, the fifteenth century archbishop's palace, and the city hall, dating from the seventeenth century. M. Malvy said that official reports revealed that the cathedral was in flames, the burning having begun Saturday as a result of ceaseless bombardment. If the reported destruction of the cathedral of Rheims is true, it is the greatest loss from an historical and artistic sense of the present war. Begun on the site of an earlier church erected by Robert McCourcy in 1212, and continued at intervals down to the fifteenth century, it has been described as "the most perfect example in grandeur and grace of Gothic style in existence." Reports of Fight Differ. Reports differ as -to the progress of the great battle in northern Prance between the allied British and French armies and the Germans. Some indicate that there 1B extremely heavy fighting, while others tell of the great masses of troops lying in flooded trenches, many of them at the stage of exhauston. At some points, at least, fierce engagements have been fought, with the tide flowing first in one direction and then in the other. The allies have won a position here, and the Germans have gained one there. But all reports official and otherwise, agree that there is much fighting yet to be done before any material advantage can be claimed by either side. The British in the trenches say: "We are slowly beating them back." The French official statement declares that though furiously c6unter attacked by superior forces and obliged to yield some ground, this was regained almost immediately. Berlin officially announces that the Franco-British forces have been obliged to take the defensive in entrenched positions and that therefore the result of the German attacks are slow. Information On Sea Fighting. Interesting information has been given out by the British admiralty regarding British successes and misfortunes in various waters. The British merchant cruiser Carmania has sunk a German merchant cruiser, supposed to be either the Cap Trafalgar or the Berlin, off the cost of South America, but the German cruiser Kienlgsberg has completely disabled the British cruiser Pegasus while the latter was overhauling her machinery in Zunihar harbor, killing 26 men and wounding more than three times that number; and the German cruiser has sunk six British merchant steamers in the Bay of Bengal. There has been a review off the island of Halkr by the sultan of the Turkish fleet, including the former German cruisers Breslau and Goeben, after which the warships proceeded to Constantinople for coal Italy, according to reports from Rome, has now more than a half million men under arms.

(Special Correspondence.) The four days' battle along the line from Noyon to the France-German frontier on the east was continued all day Saturday. The fighting became more furious than ever. During the combat along the River Aisne the adversaries in many instances came to hand to hand clashes and the Bayonet was used extensively. As a result of the terrific fighting the Germans were forced to retire about seven miles. % The bloody scenes of the battlefield have no retarding effect on either side. The carnage was horrifying, but the troops appear to have become hardened and fought with great coolness. . Silence Masked Guns? The allies' aviators apparently discovered the placements of some big German guns, notwithstanding the cleverness with which they are hidden beneath an earthen covering strewn with the branches of trees. The allies' artillery opened a concentrated fire on a certain portion of the line and the heavy German artillery shortly after lapsed into silence at that spot, although it is not known whether they were made impotent or merely were effecting a change of position owing to their position having become untenable. Germans Move Back. It is impossible to learn from any one portion of the line what is occurring at other places, but an inclination to recede slightly seemed evident on the German side, although they offered the most obstinate resistance and fought us if made of iron. The allies at the same time doggedly pursued the small advantage they able tenacity and intrepidity, but were unable to break through the firm line presented by the allies' infantry. The fight Just before daybreak was the most violent of all. The Germans appeared to throw into the charge all that remained of their energy, but were rolled back with enormous losses. Many Teutons Sacrificed. Before retiring behind their big guns they sacrificed many of their number, displaying resolution which- approached desperation. A vigorous counter attack from the allies ensued, during which a small extent of groand was gained. Behind the fighting line along the Acy-pulscux road still lie many of the dead who fell In the fighting of September 5. Laborers engaged in the task of interment declared that although- they had buried great numbers over a thousand bodies still awaited removal from the battlefield. In General Battle. The real fighting started on the morning of the fourteenth, when the battle became general along the range of heights to the north of the Aisne. The fighting was sustained with deadly earnestness during all of the next day, the Germans desperately connatlcs wno knew nothing of the tear of death. But they were rolled back again, and to their enormous losses of the night was added another long roll of dead and wounded. It was as If this was their one chance of salvation, and all the desperation and all the resolution at their command were thrown into it. Hardly had they recovered from this final grand sortie when the Utiles followed with a vigorous counter attack in an effort to catch the Germans off their balance. In this the allies were partly successful, for they gained ground slightly. On the morning of the seventeenth fighting again was resumed with the desperation that rivaled that of the big night attack. At the end of the day it appeared that the Germans had been forced to retire, about seven miles. During the fighting, which lasted all day and Into the night, the Germans lost 600 prisoners. Severe Russian Reverses. The extent of the Russian reverses In Bast Prussia Is not yet definitely known. Petrograd dispatches deny that the situation Is anything like as bad as the Berlin reports would indicate. The German version is set CHARGE OF THE KAISER'S INFANTRY. testing every foot of the way in a supreme endeavor to hold their positions until re-enforcements could arrive. On the night of the fifteenth they appeared to have been strengthened, and commenced their formidable movement against the French and British all along their front. A furious attack on the allies' extreme left, with the big guns of the rival artillerists lighting the line of the opposing fronts in fiery shilouette, was repulsed with great courage by the allies. Again and again the Germans returned to the attack with the tenacity that was the marvel of French troops, but each time they were repulsed.

Responding to Emperor Williams' protest against the France-British armies' alleged use of dumdum bulletB and to the Belgian commissioner's presentation of atrocity charges against the German troops. President Wilson made virtually identical replies. The keynoteB of his answer was: "It would be inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation, which, like this, has no part In the contest, to form or express a final judgment."

Germans Leaving Belgium. Except for two army corps with their supports of marines and old men, which the Belgian army is keeping busy around Antwerp, the Germans have almost entirely left the country. No Peace Proposals. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador at Washington, received a cable message from Sir Edward Grey, the British minister for foreign affairs, saying that Great Britain had received no proposal for peace, direct* ly or Indirectly, from either Germany or Austria, and therefore was not in a position to consider terms of peace.

One hundred years ago the little American force. pretentiously designated as the Army of the North re* tired from Plattsburg to the south bank of the Saranac river, in readiness to meet the British army, which waa now almost within striking distance. General Macomb, the American commander, had about 3,500 men in. his army, buj pernaps less than 2,000 were fit for active duty. The British force numbered between 12,000 and 14,000 men, the majority of whom were veterans in the service. Notwithstanding the seeming impossibility of defense, General Macomb.maneuvered his.little army and gathered such re-enforcements by earnest appeal aa to enable him to anticipate the meeting with the enemy with the utmost confidence.

YEAR*. EXPERIENCE Another Change For The Meat Market A short time ago nearly every issue of this paper had something to Kay about the changing proprietors of the Piuckney hotel. J imes have changed, probably the war has affected the situation, anyway we are now interested in the meat-market game. It becomes u puzzle to note not only the change in the location of the market but the shifting back and forth of the proprietors. First, L. E. Powell of Ann Arbor opened a meat market in the Murphy building and Pinckney for a short period possessed two butcher shops, Dave Smith being already on the field. Theu Powell pur-| chased Smith's business and moved into Smith's old stand. This transaction seemed to be progressing satisfactorily when last week a deal was closed by which Dave Smith again assumed control of the market in his own building and Powell will return with his family to Ann Arbor. Mr. and Mrs. Powell have made many friends while here who will be sorry to have them leave Pinckney. Mr. Smith extends a hearty welcome to all his former customers.

Citizens of Michigan are nrged to participate in the observance of this day. Importance and value may be given the day if the proper authorities will call public meetings at which the subject of fire prevention will be considered or will organize clean-up rallies at which time investigations will be made as to the possible existence of fire risks. The schools may aid by devoting a portion of the day to the study of the subject of how fires can be prevented. Each individual in every community in the state can do much to reduce the fii£ hazards by making it a point on this day to look into conditions on his own premises and applying a xemedy against possible fires where such a remedy is needed.

From Beautiful Wyoming The following letter received recently from C. L. Grimes, a former Pmckney boy, is enough to give anybody a desire to emigrate West. The Dispatch', Pinckney, Mich. Dear Friend:— Please change my address from Wayside, Neb., toRivertoo, Wyo,, wheie we are located for the school yeur. L^et year we were in the northern part of the fctate> thia year we are in the western part, 350 miles west of our South Dakota home. Eiverton is a new town, but eight years old, having a population of about 900. Situated in a beautiful valley, all under irrigation from the Wind River, which swings around the town, less than a mile away, th9 town is already nearly bidden by trees. Through the gutters of the street the water of the irrigation system flows, water from the mountains; as clear and pure as water can he, so that every yard and garden may enjoy the benefit. Riverton is a mite high, and I have never before found such ideal weather, at this time of the year, as we are enjoying here. It has been an interesting sight to us, while enjoying these late* summer days, with vegetation all about us as green as in the month of May, to look up at the lofty range of the Rocky Mountains to the south and west, with its snow covered peaks and valleys. We believe we shall like Riverton the best oi any place we have found. We made final proof on our homestead last month, so that now we have, to show for our* work in the pent four and a half yean, 160 acres of fine land, fenced and cross fenced, with considerable of it under cultivation and with good buildings. Lloyd completed his professional work last.month, at the State Normal, and this week he has entered opon bis first work as principal, at Reynolds, Neb., about 900 miles southeast of us. Tours sincerely, C. L. Grimes.

Their household pod* sold, the $100 auction money, all (they have left, will place Abe in the Old [Mans home, or Angy In the Old Ladies' nome. Both are self-sacriflctng but Abe decides: "My dear this is the fust time i ye had a chance to take the wust of it." iTfie old couple bid good-by to the little mouse. Terror of "what folks will say" r ? n f l £ , t n e m *long by-paths to the gate of ;tfle Old Ladies' home. Miss Abigail, ma- *ron of the Old Ladles' home, hears of th© ill fortune of the old couple. She tells p e other old ladies, and Blossy, who has paid a double fee for the only double bed- JJiamber. voices the unanimous verdict tnat Abe must be taken in with his wife. Abe awakens next morning to find that ha is "Old Lady No. SI." The old ladies Jftve hlrn such a warm welcome that he A*,01.. t 0 f e e l a t ^ome at once.

It "plagued" the others, however, to jjsee that none of them could get ahead jof Blossy in their noble endeavors to make Abraham feel himself a light and welcome burden. She it was who discovered that Abe's contentment could ot be absolute without griddlecakes 'or breakfast three hundred and slxtyve tinaes a year; she it was who first baked him little saucer cakes and pies because he was partial to edges; and Blossy it was who made out a list of "Don'ts" for the sisters to follow in Itheir treatment of this grown-up jyoung-old boy. 1 "Don't scold him when he leaves the doors open. Don't tell htm to wipe Shis feet. Don't ever mention gold minee or shiftless husbands," etc., etc. AH these triumphs of Blossy's intuition served naturally to spur the •others on to do even more for Brother iAbe than they had already done, until Jthe old man began to worry for fear Jthat he should "git sp'llt." When he lay down for his afternoon nap and jthe house was dull and quiet without )bis waking presence, the ladles would |gather In groups outside his door as if in a king'e antechamber, waiting for him to awaken, saying to one another iever and again, "Sh, sh!" He processed to scoff at the attentions he received, would grunt and growl ."Humbug!" yet nevertheless he [thrived In this latter-day sunlight. His bid bones took on' flesh. His aged kindly face, all seamed with care as It had been, filled ont, the wrinkles (turning Into twinkles. Abraham had wn young again. With the return ills youth came the spirit of youth the Old Ladles' home. Verily, very, as Blossy had avowed from the it, they had been In sore need of e masculine presence. The ancient .t and hat, which had hung in the hall so long, had perhaps served its purpose In keeping the burglars away, but this lifeless substitute had not prevented the crabbed gnomes of loneliness and discontent from stealing in. Spinster, wife and widow, they had every one been warped by the testy jest-so-nees of the old maid. Now, Instead of fretful discussions of health and food, recriminations and wrangling, there came to be laughter and good-humored chatter all the day long, each sister striving with all her strength to preserve the new-found [harmony of the home. There were musical evenings, when Miss Abigail opened the melodeon and played "Old Hundred," and Abraham was encouraged to pick out with one stiff foretaper "My Grandfathers Clock." payout tones" were suns in chorus; then, In. answer to Abe's appeal something livelier, there came 'tried ditties and old, old love {songs. And at last,'one night, after leaving the Instrument silent, mute in |the corner or the parlor for many {rears, Aunt .Nancy Smith dragged out fear harp, and, seating herself, reached out her knotted, trembling hands and (brought forth what seemed the Tory •die; so faint and faltering it was, of ^Douglas, Douglas, Tender and True." There was a long silence after she tied finished, her head bowed on her ibest, her bands dropped to her sides. Abraham spoke first, clearing his (:-' ghroat before be could make the words I t t t t oould git a husband fer ;**<*? one of yer," said be. - ad one was angry, and no one Jtaghed; lor they all knew that be & ^rl&ljm:**.- •*&*«> express-the mee- V- ^ ?

The picture betrayed that Captain Darby wore a wig designed for a large* man, and that the visage beneath was gnarled and weather-beaten, marked with the signs of a stubborn and unreasonable will. Even now the aged belle could bear him saying: "Here I be, come eround ter pop ag'in. Ready ter hitch?" Samuel's Inelegant English had always been a source of distress to Blossy; yet still Bhe stared long at the picture. Six months had passed since his last visit; tomorrow would be the date of his winter advent. Should she give the old unvarying answer to his tireless formula? She glanced around the tiny room. Ashamed though she was to admit it Abraham discovered he? (here, too engrossed in the perusal of one of the old letters to have heeded his creaking steps upon the stairs.

I Kneeling Before a Time-Worn Trunk. even to herself, she missed that ample and cozy chamber which she bad so freely surrendered to Abraham and his wife. She missed it, as she felt they must crave their very own fireside; and the thought that they missed the old homestead made her yearn for the home that she might have had— the home that she still might have. Again she brought her eyes back to the portrait; and now she saw, not the characteristics which had always made it seem Impossible for her and Samuel to jog tegether down life's road, but the great truth that the face was honest and wholesome while the eyes looked back into hers with the promise of an unswerving care and affection. The neit morning found Blossy kneeling before a plump little leatherbound, time-worn trunk which she kept under the eaves of the kitchen chamber. The trunk was packed hard with bundles of old \etters. Some her younger .fingers had tied with violet ribbon; tome they had bound with pink; others she had fastened together with white silk cord, and there were more and more bundles, both slim and stout, which Blossy had distinguished by some special hue of ribbon in the Ions *go, each tint marking adlfferent suitor's missives. To her still sentimental eye the colors remained unfaded, and each weald bring to her mind instantly the picture of the writer as he had been in the golden days. But save to Blossy's eye alone there were* no longer any rainbow tints in the little old trunk; for every ribbon and every oord had faded Into that musty* yellow brown which is dyed by the passing ot many edged, crackly billet-doux with a start, and dropped the envelope to the floor. For the moment, so deep in reminiscence was she, she thought Captain Darby himself had surprised her; then, recognizing Abe and recalling that Samuel's winter visits were invariably paid in the afternoon, she broke into a shamefaced laugh. "Oh, is that you, Brother Abe? Don* tell the others what you found me doing. These," with a wave of her delicate, blue-veined hands over the trunk and Its contents, "are all old love letters of mine. Do you think I'm a silly old goose to keep them cluttering around so long?" "Wa'al"—Abe with an equally deprecatory gesture indicated Angy's horsehair trunk in the far corner of the loft—"yew ain't no more foollsher, I guess, over yer old trash 'n me an' Angy be a-keepln' that air minln' stock of mine. One lot is wuth 'bout as much as t'other." Recovering the envelope that she had dropped, he equinted at the superscription. "Not meanln' ter be inquisitive or personal. Sister Blossy," a teasing twinkle appearing in his eye, "but this looks dretful familiarity, this here handwrltin' does. When I run the beach—yew'vs* heard me tell of the time I was on the life-savin* crew over ter Bleak Hill fer a spell—my cap'n he had a fist jest like that. Useter make out the spickest, spanneet reports. Lemme see," the twinkle deepening, "didn't the gals say yew was a 'spectln' somebody terday? Law, I ain't saw Cap'n Sam'l fer ten year or more. I guess on these here poppin' trips o' hls'n he hain't wastin' time on no men-folks. But, Blossy, yew better give me a chance ter talk to him this arternoon, an' mebbe I'll speak a good word fer yer." Blossy, not alwayB keen to eee a joke, and with htr vanity now in the ascendent, felt the color rise into her withered cheek. "Oh, you needn't take the trouble to speak a good word for me. Any man who could ever write a letter like this doesn't need to be coaxed. Just listen: The man you take for a mate Is the luckiest dog In the Whole round world. I'd rather be him than king of all the countries on earth. I'd rather be him than strike a gold mine reaching from here to China. I'd rather be him than master of the finest vessel that ever sailed blue water. That's what I would. Why, the man who couldn't be happy with you would spill tears all over heaven. Blossy's cheek was still flushed, but no longer with pique. Her voice quavered and broke; and finally there fell upon the faded page of the letter two sparkling tears. Abraham shuffled uncomfortably from one foot to the other; then, muttering something about the "pesky apple hook/' went scuffing across the floor In the direction of the chimney. Blossy, however, called him back. "I was crying, Brother Abe, because the man 1 did take for a mate once was not happy, and—and neither was I. I was utterly wretched; so that I've always felt I never cared to marry again. And—Samuel's wig is always slipping down over one eye, and I simply cannot endure that trick he has of carrying his head to one side, as If he had a left-handed spell of the mumps. It nearly drives me frantic. "Brother Abe, now tell me honestly: do you think he would make a good husbandr Abe cleared his throat Blossy was In earnest Blossy could not be laughed at She was his friend, and' Angy's friend; and she had come to him as to a brother for advice. He, too, had known Samuel as man to man, which was more than any of the sisters could say. Stroking his beard thoughtfully, therefore, he seated himself upon a. convenient wooden cheat, while Blossy slipped her old love letter in and out of the envelope, with that essentially feminine manner of weighing and considering. "Naow," began Abe at length, "this is somep'n that requires keerful debatin'. Fust off, haowsomever, yew must remember that wigs an' ways never made a man yit Ei I riccoiec' Sam'l, he-walT pooty good es men go. I should say he wouldn't be any more of a risk tew yew than I was tew Angy; mebbe less. He's got quite a leetle laid by, I understand, an' a tidy story-an'-a-half house, an' front stoop, an', by golly, can't he cook! He's a splendid housekeeper." "Housewifery," ^ remarked Blossy sagely, as she began to gather her missives together, "is an accomplishment to be scorned in a young husband, but not in an old one. They say there hasn't been a woman inside Samuel's house since he built it, but it's as clean ag soap and eand can make it" "I bet yer," agreed Abe. "Hain't never been no fly inside It, neither, 1 warrant yer. Fly can't light arter Sam'l's cleanln' up nohaow; he's got ter skate." "He says he built that little house for me," said the old lady, as Bhe closed down the lid of the trunk. There was a wistful note in Blossy's voice, which made Abraham declare with a burst of sympathy: " 'Tain't no disgrace ter git married at no time of life. Sam'l's a good pervider; why don't yew snap him up terday? We'll miss yew a lot; but—" "Here's the apple picker right over your head," interrupted Blossy tartly, and Abe felt himself peremptorily dismissed. * Scarcely had he left the attic, however than she, too, hastened down the steep, narrow stairs. She spent the remaining hours before train time In donning her beautiful lace gown, and in making the woman within it as young and ravishing as possible. And lovely, Indeed, Bloesy looked this day, with a natural flush of excitement on her cheek, a new sparkle in her bright, dark eyes, and with her white hair arranged in a fashion which might have excited a young girl's envy. The hour for the train came and went and, lo! for the first time in the history of twenty years Captain Darby did not appear. Blossy pretended to be relieved, protesting that she was delighted to find! that she would now have an extra! hour In which to ponder the question.] But the second train came and went, and still no Captain Darby. All the afternoon long Blossy wore! her lace gown, thinking although there were no more trains from the east* ward that day, that Samuel would still find his way to her. He might drive, as he usually did In June, or he might even walk from his home at Twin Coves, she said. (TO BE CONTINUED.) UNIFORM MEANT FOR SERVICE Oarb of the Bofctters of "Holy Russia" Is Said to Be the Simplest |n European Armies. It is said that the uniform of the Russian soldier is the simplest field uniform in Europe. In winter a sheepskin coat goes on beneath the gray one. In summer, or during campaigns in-hot climates, the Russians, like the Japanese, fight In white dress. The Russian campaigner marches somewhat heavily laden. He has-his kit-bag with clothing slung over one shoulder, his haversack with two days' rations of bread and salt slung over the other, bis greatcoat strapped under one arm. Including bis water bottle,, arms and ammunition, a section of tent and the uniform be wears, he carries something over 6t pounds. The advantage which offsets the burden is that at a pinch, the Rususian soldier la practically independent of a bag* gage train. He can transport his modest necessities upon his own back.

The main station can exchange signals directly with the large land stations of America or Europe during the whole of the transatlantic voyage, so that the delays involved by relaying messages from ship to ship are avoided. In midocean the ship is in communication with both the German station at Norddeich and the American station at Sayville. The emergency station, intended for use in case of a stoppage* of the ship's dynamo, 1B capable of operating for six hours. Hit Absence Noticed.

Teepie, Pinckney No Decision Reached By the M. E. Church At the meeting held by the members of the M- E. church Tuesday evening it was voted by the congregation to have the official board present the proposition to the quarterly conference regarding ihe union of the two protestant churches. It seems that any business regarding the Methodist church cau only be transacted through one of tae church boards or the quarterly conference. At the metting held by the members of the COD^'I church it was voted unanimously to unite. Grotesque Fashions. The futurist will find It hard to beat the masculine costumes of the later Plantagenet reigns, either in flare of color or in practical awkwardness. There were the peaked shoes, chained to the knees, and the enormous bagpipe shaped sleeves, reaching even to the feet. One practical use was found for these, however. They were called the devil's receptacles, from their convenience to the light fingered. A writer of the time describes the commoners as "besotted in excess of apparel. Some In wide surcoats reaching to their loins, some in a garment reaching to their heels, closed before and sticking out at the sides, so that at the back they make men seem like women." The particolored suits of the period were sprinkled freely with birds, baboons, squirrels, trees and mottoes.—London Spectator. Traps the Robbers. In a Copenhagen bank is an ingenious contrivance for capturing robbers that was devised by one of the clerks. An electric contact is placed behind the bank counter, and if the clerks tread on it the main door from the street to the entrance hall is closed and locked. If the clerks, again tread upon the contact the door between the entrance hall and the office is locked. Thus if the robbers should arrive and summon the clerks to hold up their hands the clerks obey, tread upon the contact and the main door Is locked. The robbers are allowed to take the money, but when they desire to leave they find that the main door is shut and locked, and when they try to return they find the second door also locked, and they are trapped until the police arrive. What 8he Expected. "Look at her/' said the ironmonger, Indicating a departing customer. "She sent her wringer here to be repaired. I promised It her for this week, provided that I could get a certain new part in time from the makers.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, September 17, 3914 No. 38 MADELINE BOWMAN Wins the Special Pri*eo? $10.00 In Gold Hard and persistant work will Win the riano The second count of votes in <the Dispatch piano voting contest was made last Saturday evening: -and after the votes being counted by the judges, Messrs. H. W. Crofoot, P. H. Swarthout and E. E. Hoyt, resulted in awarding the Bpecial prizi* of $10.00 in gold to Miss Madeline Bowman, she having made the greatest gain in votes since the last count. There are lots of people who •do not take the Dispatch and there are just lots of others who intend to take it soon, therefor it is to the advantage of the contestants to see them before the contest closes. You should realize this and if you intend to win, uow is the time. You still have time to get lots and lots of votes, but remember you will not have the chance again. Do you fully realize that .a $400 piano is to be given to the contestant having the largest number of votes? Why are you lettiug them have it with just a little work? It would be fun to make them race for it anyway. Perhaps you believe the writer is just trying to scare you for his >own profit, but that is not the 'Case, and when the contest closes you will surely see the soundness -of the advice which has beeu .printed in these columns from time to time. Be sure aud have your friends trade with the following merchants who give a 25 vote coupon with each dollar cash purchase. Have them ask for these coupons and -save them for you. W. W.

Jobw The Flower Fete Under the auspices of the M. E. Sunday School a Flower Fete was given at the Pinckney Opera House Friday evening in which nearly fifty characters took part. The curtains arose revealing a woodland bower in which the queen of the flowers, Miss Mary Beiman, sat enthroned. Soon Mother Earth, Sunshine, Rain and Dew-drops made their appearance and were commanded to bring forth the flowers of the kingdom. By the united efforts of these courtiers dear little for-get-tne-nots which bloom for happy lowers, dainty snow-drops, soldierly dandelions, scarlet poppies, blushing roses, shy violets with their grown up pansy sisters, yellow buttercups and fortune-telling daisies all came to bow obeisance to their queen. The crepe-paper dresses which were worn by the children, so fashioned as to represent perfectly each flower subject, made the spectacle resemble a huge garden in which the flowers, suddenly endowed with life, were dancing and singing in the bright moon-light. The last flower to enter the court of her queen was the Fiower of Liberty, our American flag, after which thejaudience joined in singing America. The play was put on under the superintendency of Mrs. E. C. Glenn. She was assisted by the teachers of the various classes of the Sunday School. Mrs, Glenn worked very hard for the success of the Fete and is indeed to be heartily congratulated upon its reception. The audience fully appreciated the unique production. The flowers made their appearance upon the stage to tae strains of tinkling music ably rendered by Miss Blanche Martin, pianist. She was assisted by H. W. Watts aud son and Chas. Martin. Following the Carnival, James White of Cincinatti, Ohio, entertained the audience with some very interesting, also humorous moving pictures. The entertainment was well-given and very much enjoyed.

Inset is a portrait of Prosper, a private, who nearly lost pis life in blowing up a railroad tunnel at Dolham. RUSSIA MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT OF TERMS OF PEACE Editorial in Leading St. Petersburg Newspaper Doubtless Inspired by the Czar. CONFIDENCE IN ULTIMATE VICTORY VERY APPARENT Pronouncement Significant If the Allies Should Be Victorious—-Berlin Officially Admit* Retirement of German Troops—British Army to Be Enormously Increased—Losses Have Been Heavy. The Rech, leading Petrograd (St. Petersburg) newspaper, anticipating negotiations for peace in the near future, editorially discusses the probable terms of final settlement as follows : v, "The war must be terminated in such a way that It shall leave no vengeful associations on either side. The changes in the map of Europe must be final, and no nationality must be opposed in the satisfaction of its legitimate ambition. "This ideal, however, is irreconcilable with the hegemony of P rue si a in Germany. Further, it is irreconcilable with the division of Poland and the treaty of Bucharest. "The unifications of Russia, Italy, Germany, Roumania and Senria must be completed. France must receive what has been taken from her, and Bulgaria also. "A hundred years' fight for the principle of nationality must finish with a decision free from all compromise, and therefore final." Exaggerate Damage Reports. That he demolition of Belgian towns has been greatly exaggerated is the statement contained in dispatches to the German embassy at Washington. England's casualties in the war to date are 18,729, composed of 689 officers and 18,140 men of other ranks, according to an official bureau statement, which added 134 officers and 8,464 men of other ranks to the list. Berlin Officially Admits Defeat An official message from the German war minister to General von Stein at Amsterdam states that the German army has been heavily attacked by the enemy between Paris, Meux and Montmirail. The fighting, the message states, lasted two days, and the enemy won the battle, obliging the German troops to retire. Fifty guns were taken, together with thousands of prisoners. The British army is to be raised as quickly as possible to 1,501,830 men At the beginning of the war all the ranks mustered but 186,400; since then 439,00« recruits have been received. The volunteers in the first fortnight of the war amounted to 8,000 dairy; these are now over thirty thousand daily. The 1,601,830 men will include the territorials. GENERAL VIEW OP THE W A R > Ths rapid advance of the enveloping movement by which the allies are turning ths German right flank is beginning to have a decisive Influence on ths German campaign. Ths reported/ retreat of ths Germans to Soiasons cuts them off from their natural lines of communication. . Indeed ths alttsd move Is so threatening to the entire rear of the Germans' right flank that they have to consider the alternative of getting quick results in their attacks on the French lines or else retiring in time to save their right wing from disaster. The mention of this turning force of the allies as a British and French army indicates that the British have been rushing forward their later expeditions via Havre and Dieppe and moving them to the front as a separate army. The retrogression of the German army of General von Kluck freed the garrison of Paris from its primary duty of manning the forts. Detachments from this service can well be spared, sufficient to form an additional corps to strengthen the allies' left flank. New Point of Attack. Dispatches develop a new point of attack which has been little mentioned. The fifth German army, after making the turning movement around Verdun, seems to have moved southeast up the valleys of the Aire and Aisne rivers. So great was the pressure of Its attacks that the French line was forced back to Souilly and the line of the Ornain river! The day's wireless report from Berlin of the capture of fortifications near Verdun refers to the operations of this army. This portion of the French line is in a dangerous position. In their efforts to hold the fortress of Verdun the French left a salient protruding line. This salient 1B now exposed to attack both on east and west. A success by the Germans on either side would take the other side in rear and would result in serious losses during the withdrawal. Chance for Germany. If the Germans succeeded in such a move they would isolate Verdun and have a chance to bring to bear upon it the same tactical use of heavy artillery that resulted in the capture of Liege, Namur and Longwy. The French armies would be forced back to the general line running from Vitry to Toul. Such a success on the part of the Germans would not have a decisive effect on the battle, but it would have important value in shortening their front of operations and in facilitating the supply of their troops. By throwing open a new line of operations, it would tend to counterbalance the contraction of such lines on the right flank due to the allies' turning movement. It is too soon to make any estimate as to the outcome of this bat- Operations Before Paris. The Germans were driven back 3f miles on their right flank as a result of five days of fighting since the allies defending Paris started their counter offensive. In the center of the Prussian Guard was routed by the French and chased to the north of St. Gond's marshes, while the situation remains In the main unchanged, with heavy fighting in progress near Vitry-le-Francois. Near Nancy the Germans gained slightly along the road to Chateau Saline, in German Lorraine, while the allies progressed in the forest of Champenoux, on the Franco-German border. All these announcements were contained in official dispatches of the French war office at Bordeaux. An Exchange teiegram from Ostend to London said it was reliably stated that the Belgians assumed a triumphant offensive movement, having driven the enemy back from the environs of Louvaln. A cut In the German line of communications in the east has been effected by the allies, according to a London correspondent in France. Other reports reaching London say the British troops raided the German lines of communication, and are now essaying a flank attack in force. It is persistently reported, also, that a large force of fresh troops is moving forward from the region Of Ostend, with a view of severing the invaders' line of retreat. The following official statement, claiming victory all along the allies' center in the battle of the Marne, as well as on the allies' left flank, was issued by the French war office September 12: "On the left wing our success becomes marked. Our progress continues north of the Marne In the direction of Soissons and Compiegne. "The Germans have abandoned a considerable quantity of munitions with wounded and prisoners. We have taken another flag. "The British army has captured 11 gunar with other Important war material, and has made from twelve to fifteen hundred prisoners. "At the center the enemy have given way along the whole front between Sezanne and Revigny. He has not yet recoiled in the Argonne. "In spite of the heroic fight of our troops throughout these five days of battle, they still have energy to follow the enemy." tie. While the allies have a greater total force, the Germans have drawn in their columns and massed their troops in a way that gives them a numerical superiority at the point of contact. Depends on Artillery. The outcome is going to depend largely on the French artillery. If the French gung can hold their positions and maintain their fire, the German losses In assault will be so great as to make success impossible. All signs indicate that the Germans have reached the limit of their available force for the French campaign. To gain sufficient strength for the last effort they have had to strip the country from Ghent, Belgium, to Muelhausen, Alsace. The latest news changes the situation in East Prussia. The German armies in this region have been^ greatly re-enforced and have again inflicted on the Russian army of invasion a blow that will seriously delay its advance.* During the last ten days the Germans have made use of their better rail system to push forward to East Prussia such great numbers of reserve organizations that they have overpowered the south wing of the Russian army and have forced it back into the lake region of Prussia The report from Berlin of the defeat of the Twenty-second Russian corps of Lyck, if confirmed, will indicate a disastrous defeat for the Russians.

In September, 1820, on hearing that his favorite dentist had died, Byron wrote to John Murray: "The death of Waite Is a shock to the teeth as well as to the feelings of all who knew him. I left him in the most robust health and little thought of the national loss In so short a time. He was much superior to Wellington in national greatness, as he who preserves the teeth la preferable to the warrior who gains a name by breaking heads and knocking out grind* ers. Who succeeds him?

Captain A b r a h a m Uos« and Angellne, ma wile, have lost their little liume through Abe's unlucky purchase of T e n a - ny Quid mining stock. Their household «ooda sold, the $100 auction money, all t h e y have left, will place Abe in the Old M a n ' s homy, or Angy In the Old Ladies' home. Both a r e self-sacrificing but Abe decides: "My dear this is the fust time I ye had a chance to take the wust of it." T h e old couple bid good-by to tho little house. Terror of " w h a t folks will Bay" • e n d s them along by-paths to tho gate of the Old Ladles' homr.

But what was this? Blooey, leading all the others in a resounding call of "Welcome!" and then Blosaj drawing her two hands from behind her back. One held a huge blue cup, the other the saucer to match. She placed the cup in the saucer and held it out to Abraham. He trudged down the few steps to receive it, unashamed now of •the tears that coursed down his cheeks. With a burst of delight he perceived that It was a mustache cup, such a6 the one he had always used at home until it had been set for safekeeping on the top pantry shelf to await the auction, where it had brought the price of eleven cents with half a paper of tacks thrown in. And now as the tears cleared away he saw, also, what Angy's eyes had already noted, the Inscription in warm crimson letters on the shining blue side of the cup, "To Our Beloved ^Brother." ' "Sisters," he mumbled, for he could do no more than mumble as he took his gift, "ef yew'd been gittin* ready fer me six months, yew couldn't have done no better." CHAPTER V. Tho Head of the Corner. Everybody wore their company manners to the breakfast table—the first time In the whole history of the home when company manners had graced the initial meal of the day. Being pleasant at supper was easy enough, Aunt Nancy used to say, for every one save the unreasonably cantankerous, and being agreeable at dinner was not especially difficult; but no one short of a paint could be expected to smile of mornings until sufficient time had been given to discover whether one "Brother Abe—That's What We've All Agreed to Call Yew." had stepped out on the wrong or the right side of the bed. This morning, however, no time was Deeded to demonstrate that everybody In tho place bad gotten .out on the happy side of bis conch. Even the deetand-dumb gardener bad untwisted fill enrly temper, and as Abraham entered the dining-room, looked In at the east window with a conciliatory grin and nod which said plainly a* words: M Tie a welcome fight Indeed to see one of my own kind around this estab- Hahmentr "Why dont he come in r questioned Abe, waving back a greeting as well as he could with the treasured cup in one of his hands and the saucer in the other; whereupon Sarah Jane, that ugly duckling, explained that the fellow, being a confirmed woman hater, cooked all his own meals in the smoke house, and Insisted upon all his orders being left on a slate outside the tool-house door. Abe sniffed disdainfully, contemplating her homely countenance, over which this morning's mood had cast a not unlovely transforming glow. "Why, the scalawag!" He frowned so at the face in the window that It immediately disappeared, "Yew don't m<?Min ter tell me he's cot ag'In yew gal?? He must be crazy! Sech a handScme, clever set o' women I never did see!" < Sarah Jane blushed to the roots of her thin, straight hair and sat down, suddenly disarmed of every porcupine quill that she had hidden under her wings; while there was an agreeable little stir among the sisters. "Set deown, all hands! Set deown!" enjoined Miss Abigail, fluttering about with the heaviness of a fat gooee. "Brother Abe—that's what we've all agreed to call yew, by unanimous vote—yew set right here at the foot of the table. Aunt Nancy always had the head an' me the foot; but I only kept the foot, partly becuz thar wa'n't no man fer the place, and partly becuz I was tew sizable ter squeeze in anywhar else. Seeln' as Sister Angy is sech a leetle mite, though, I guess she kin easy make room fer me t'other side o' her." Abe could only bow hie thanks as he put his gift down on the table and took the prominent place assigned to him. The others seated, there was a solemn moment of waiting with bowed heads. Aunt Nancy's trembling voice arose—the voice which had jealously guarded the right of saying grace at table In the Old Ladles' home for twenty years—not, however, In the customary words of thanksgiving, but in a peremptory "Brother Abe!" Abraham looked up. Could Bhe possibly mean that he was to establish himself as the head of the household by repeating grace? "Brother Abe!" she called upon him again. "Yew've askt a blessln' fer one woman fer many a year; supposin1 yew ask it fer thirty!" Amid the amazement of the other sisters, Abe mumbled, and muttered, and murmured—no one knew what words; but all understood the overwhelming gratitude behind his incoherency, and all joined heartily in the Amen. Then, while Mrs. Homan, the cook of the week, went buetllng out into the kitchen, Aunt Nancy felt that It devolved upon her to explain her action, It would never do, she thought, for her to gain a reputation for selfeffacement and sweetness of disposition at her time of life. "Son, I want yew to understand one thing naow at the start. Yew treat us right, an' we'll treat you right. That's all we ask o' yew. Miss Ellie, pass the radishes." "I'll do my best," Abe hastened to aesure her. "Hy-guy, that coffee smells some kind o* good, don't it? Between the smell o' the stuff an' the looks o' my cup, it'll be so temptin' that I'll wish I had the neck of a gi-raffe, an' could taste it all the way deown. Angy, I be afraid we'll git the gout a-Hvin' so high. Look at this here cream!" Smiling, joking, his lips insisting upon joking to cover the natural feeling of embarrassment incident to this first meal among the sisters, but with hie voice breaking now and again with emotion, while from time to time he had to steal his handkerchief to his old eyes, Abe passed successfully through the—to him—elaborate breakfast. And Angy sat In rapt silence, but with her face shining so that her quiet was the stillness of eloquence. Once Abe* startled them all by rising stealthily from the table and seizing the morning's newspaper, which lay upon the buffet "I knowed It!" caviled Laay Daisy sotto voce to no one in particular. "He couldn't wait for the news till he was through eatin'l" But Abe had folded the paper into a stout weapon, and, creeping toward the window, despatched by a quick, adroit movement a fly which had alighted upon the screen. "I hate the very sight o' them sir pesky critters," he explained half apologetically. "Thar, that's another one," and slaughtered that "My, but yew kin got 'em, cant yewr* spoke Mies Abigail admiringly. "Them tew be tho very ones.I tried tor ketch «11 day yiate'day; I Un see as a fly-keteher yew be a-goin* ter be wuth a farm ter me. Sot deown an' try some o' this hers strawberry preserve," But Abe- protested that he could not eat another bite unless he should get up and run around the house to "joggle deown" what he had already swallowed. He leaned back in his chair and surveyed the family: on his right, generous-hearted Blossy, who had been smiling approval and encouragement at him all through the repast; at hie left, and just beyond Angy, Miss Abigail indulging in what remained on the dishes now that she discovered the others to have finished; Aunt Nancy keenly watching him from the head of the board; and all the other sisters "betwixt an' between." He caught Mrs. Horaan's eye where she stood In the doorway leading Into the kitchen, and remarked pleasantly: "Ma'am, yew oughter set up a pancake shop in 'York. Yew could make a fortune at it. I hain't had Bech a meal o' vlttlee senoe I turned fifty year o' age." A flattered smlie overspread- Mrs. Homan's visage, ar/d the other sisters, noting it, wondered how long It would be before she showed her claws In Abraham's presence. "Hy-guy, Angy," >.b* went on, "yew cun't believe nothln' yew hear, kin yer? Why, folks have told me that yew ladies— What yew hlttin' my foot fer, mother? Folks have told me," a twinkle of amusement In his eye at the absurdity, "that yew fight among yerselvee like cats an' dogs, when, law! I never see sech a clever lot o' women gathered tergether in all my life. An' I believe—mother, I hain't a-sayin' nothin'! I jest want ter let 'era know what I think on 'em. I believe that thar must be three hunderd hearts in this here place 'stid o' thirty. But dew yew know, gals, folks outside even go so fur 's ter say that yew throw plates at one another!" There was a moment's silence; then* a little gasp first from one and then from another of the group. Every one, looked at Mrs. Homah, and from Mrs. Homan to Sarah Jane. Mrs. Homan tightened her grip on the pancake turner; Sarah Jane uneasily moved her long fingers within reach of a sturdy little red-and-white pepper pot. Another moment passed, in which the air seemed filled with the promise of an electric storm. Then Blossy spoke hurriedly—Blossy, the tactician— clasping her hands together and bringing Abe's attention to herself. "Really! You surprise me! You don't mean to say folks talk about us like that!" "Slander is a dretful long-legged critter," amended Miss Abigail, smiling and sighing in the same breath. "Sary Jane," inquired Mrs. Homan sweetly, "what's the matter with that pepper pot? Does it need flllin'?" And so began"the reign of peace in the Old Ladies' home. I CHAPTER VI, Indian Summer. Miss Abigail had not banked in vain on the "foresightedness of the Lord." At the end of eix months, Instead of there being a shortage in her accounts because of Abe's presence, she was able to show the directors such a balance sheet as excelled all her previous commendable records. "How do you explain it?" they asked her. "We cast our bread on^ the waters," she answered, "an' Providence jest kept a-eendin' out the loaves." Again she said. " 'Twas grinnin' that done it. Brother Abe he kept the gardener good-natured, an' the gardener he jest grinned at the garden sass until it was ashamed not ter flourish; an' Brother Abe kept the gals good-natured an' they wa'n't so niasy about what they eat; an' he kept the visitors a-laughln' jest ter see him here, an' when yew make folks laugh they want ter turn around an'-fiew somethin' fer yew. I tell yew, ef yew kin only keep grit ernough ter grin, yew kin drive away a drought." In truth, there had been no drought In the garden that summer, but almoet a double yield of corn and beans; no drought In the gifts sent to the home, but showers of plenty. Some of these came in the form of fresh fish and clams left at the back door; some In luscious fruits; some In barrels of clothing. And the barrels of clothing solved another problem; for no longer did their contents consist solely of articles of feminine attire. "Blled shirts" poured out of them; socks and breeches, derby hats, coats and negligees; until Aunt Nancy with a humorous twist to her thin lips inquired if there were thirty men in this establishment and one woman. "* "I never thought I'd come to wearin' a quilted silk basque with toaeels on it," Abe remarked one day on being urged to try on a handsome smoking jacket. "Dew I look like one of them sissy-boys, er jest a dude?" "It's dretful becoming," Insisted Angy, "bewtiful! Ain't it, gals?" Every old lady nodded her head with an air of proud proprietorship, as if to say, "Nothing could fall to become our brother." And Angy nodded her head, too, in delighted approval of their appreciation of "our brother" and "my husband." Beautiful, joy-steeped, pleasure-filled daye these were for the couple, who had been cramped for life's smallest necessities so many meager years. SHOULD BE AT THE FRONT "I Never 8ee 8uch a Clever Lot of Women." Angy felt that she had been made miraculously young by the birth of this new Abraham—almost as if at laet she had been given the son for whom in her youth she had prayed with impassioned appeal. Her old-wife love became rejuvenated into a curious mixture of proud mother-love and young-wife leaning, ae she saw Abe win every heart and become the center of the community. "Why, the sisters all think the sun rises an' sets in him," Angy would whisper to herself sometimes, awed by the glorious wonder of it all. The sisters fairly vied with one another to see how much each could do for the one man among them. Their own preferences and prejudices were magnanimously thrust aside. In a body they besought their guest to smoke as freely in the house as out of doors. Miss Abigail even traded some of her garden produce for tobacco, while Miss Ellie made the old gentleman a tobacco pouch of red flannel so generouB in its proportions that on a pinch it could be used as a chest protector. Then Ruby Lee, not to be outdone by anybody, produced, from no one ever discovered where, a mother-ofpearl manicure set for the delight and mystification of the hero; and even Lazy Daisy went so far as to cut some red and yellow tissue paper into squares under the delusion that some time, somehow, she would find the energy to roll these into spills for the lighting of Abe'e pipe. And each and every sister from time to time contributed Borne gift or suggestion to her •'brother's" comfort (TO BB CONTINUED.)

Newspaper Men With Warring Armies Would Accelerate the Course of History in Europe. A conscientious news editor of our acquaintance is much embarrassed and annoyed by the fact that the meager news from the seat of war in Europe supplies very unsatisfactory material for emphatic, clear-cut head lines. He boldly couples the dearth of decisive developments in the field with the rigid exclusion of newspaper correspondents from the immediate area of hostilities, and cites as precedent and authority the following anecdote related as happening in the office of a certain ewspaper in Berlin: A member of the staff had been directed by the chief to go to Dlnkelsbuhl and act as correspondent there. He objected stoutly to the assignment on the ground that nothing ever Happened in Dlnkelsbuhl. The chief rebuked htm sharply. "Are you not aware, my young friend," he said, "that nothing ever does happen anywhere unless there Is a newspaper man on the ground?" The editor urgently submits that the course of history in Europe would be greatly accelerated and the world notably advantaged if the ban on correi spondents at the front were lifted. Was Noted Catholic Prelate. James Roosevelt Bayley, the predecessor of Cardinal Gibbons as archbishop of Baltimore, was born 100 years ago in Rye, N. Y. He originally intended to make medicine his vocation, but abandoned the study at the end of one year, and in 1840 was ordained a priest of the Protestant Episcopal church. Assailed by religious doubts, he visited Rome in 1841 and was received Into the Roman Catholic church. Several .years after his return to America he became president of St. John's college, Fordham, N. Y. In 1853 he became first bishop of Newark, N. J. Here he founded Seton Hall college and translated to the archiepiscopal see of Baltimore, the highest honor the church had to offer in the United States. Great Salt Production. The marketed production of salt In the United States, including Hawaii and Porto Rico, in 1913 reached the record-breaking total of 34,399,298 barrels of 280 pounds each, or 4,815,902 short tons. The value of the product was $10,123,139. These figures are the greatest yet recorded by the United States geological survey for the salt Industry In the United States, and they represent an Increase of 3 per cent in quantity produced and of nearly 8 per cent in value compared with 1912.

When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, 111., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I re* ceived a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. "I got no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve remedies I tried, because I didn't know that coffee was daily putting me back more than the doctors could put me ahead. "Finally at the suggestion of a friend I left off coffee and began the use ol Postum, and against my expectations I gradually improved in health until fon, the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and! those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I had drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit eoffee and took up the use y of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many people marvel at the effects oft leaving off eoffee and drinking Postum. but there is nothing marvelous about It—only common scute.

Once there were two Home Boys Who sallied forth from a straggling Village in search of an irrational Female known as Dame Fortune. When they had covered enough Ground to he far away from the elderly Relations and no one could point out the Houses in which they were born they began to Deliver. It was a sad Jolt to the Walking Vegetables back in the Stockade when they heard, on Qood Authority, that Ezra and Bill were slamming It over the Plate and batting above .400. They simply wagged the oesifled Domes and hoped the Boys were getting It Honestly. Ezra and Bill, up among the inflammatory Posters and the nervous Electric Signs, kept on playing Tag with the Sherman Act until they had it in Oodles and Bundles and Bales and Stacks. Finally, when they became so prosperous that they had to wear Shoes specially made, with Holes in the top, they began to be troubled with Tender Recollections of Humble Birthplace. Through the Haze of Intervening Tears they saw the Game of Two-Old- Cat in the Vacant Lot back of the M. E. Church and forgot all about sleeping In the refrigerated Attic and going down In the morning to thaw out the Wooden Pump. They yearned to elbow out from the Congested Traffic of the cold and heartless City and renew Sweet Associations. They wanted to wander once more down the Avenues of Rhubarb and clasp hands with Old Friends whose simple Hearts averaged about 14 Throbs to the Minute. It is the regulation Dream of every Financial Yeggman to go back to hiB Old Town wearing a Laurel Wreath and have the School Children throw Moss Roees in his Pathway. So Ezra sent on a Proposition. He wanted to build a Library at the corner of Fifth and Main, thereby making it easy for his old Neighbors to read the Six Best Sellers without plugging the Author's Game. He offered to give 20,000 bucks if the Citizens would raise 6,000 more and maintain the Thing. Ezra had not been in the Habit of reading anything except the Tape and he cared about as much for George Bernard Shaw as George Bernard Shaw cared for him. Nevertheless, he wanted to be remembered 60 Years hence as the Man who built the Library and not ae the Guy who dealt from the Bottom of the Deck, utilizing the Sleeve Device and the Bosom Hold-Out By the use of Anaesthetics and Forceps the 6,000 was secured. Then the Building was erected and the only Criticism made was that the Location was poor and the dod-blasted Concern looked like a Barn and it was arranged wrong inside and nobody didn't want no Library nohow. When Ezra came down to the Dedication to face an outraged and taxburdened People he was just as popular as Toneolitis or Sciatica ever dared to be. Bill came back also. He floated into Town one day and appeared in Jimiaon'g General Store and called for a Good Cigar. He told Mr. Jimison to take one and called up the Boys around the Stove and even those who were chewing were told to put 'em in their Pockets and smoke 'em after while. When the Word got out that Bill was Buying over at the Bee Hive representative Citizens came on the Jump from the Harness Shop and the Undertaking Parlors and the Blie Bowling Alley. Every Man that showed got a Lottie Lee with a Band around it and -when Bill left on the 8:40 a Mob followed him to the Train. Ever after that the Word was freely passed around that Bill was a Prince. MORAL—In scattering Seeds of Kindness do it by Hand and not by Machinery. The New Fable of the Unruffled Wife and the Callus Husband. One day a Married Woman who was entitled to a long pew of Service Stripes on her Sleeve sat In the Motor and watched the remainder of the Sketch try out his new trick Monoplane.

With only one little Strand of Wire or perchance a Steering Knuckle standing between her and a lot of Insurance Money she retained both her Aplomb and the Lorgnette. "How can you bear to watch it?" asked a Lady Friend, who was heaving perceptibly. "Listen," replied the Good Woman. "For many Snows I have been sitting on the Side Lines watching the Dear Boy take Desperate Chances. To begin with, he married into Our Family. Once, at Asbury Park, he acted as Judge at a Baby Show. Later he put a lot of Money into a Bank, the President of which wore Throat Whiskers and was opposed to Sunday Base Ball. He has played Golf on Public Links, hunted Deer during the Open Season in the Adlrondacks and essayed the Role of Claude Melnotte in Amateur Theatricals.

It appears that the incredulity which was expressed with regard to the great Brazilian river said to have been discovered by Mr. Roosevelt was a monopoly of the large majority who know very little of the subject. No phrase could better describe what the ex-president actually has done in regard to this river than his own, which he used more than once at the meeting of the Royal Geographic coclety, "I have put it on the map." That is precisely what he has done. If it be not precise to Bay that he has "discovered" the river, seeing that its head and tail were known already, it is exactly true that he has put it on the map, for this could not be done before the finding and the correct placing of the body of the great stream.

Murine hiye Kutucdy Co., Caicago, London—The right and left wings of the Germans fell back, while the center held firm before the fortified position of Verdun, according to dispatches received Sunday night, giving official statements from the Paris war office. Meanwhile the Belgians, it is reported, have pushed to the southeast from Antwerp, forcing the depleted German forces in Belgium before them and threatening the German line of communication -between France and Germany, through Belgium. The significance of .the Belgian movement becomes greater with the rumor, as yet unconfirmed, that a second British expeditionary force has been landed at Ostend and is moving southeast to join the Belgians in the effort to cut off the German communication through Belgium and block the retreat of the invader's right wing. The importance of this line of communication has grown more manifest with the pointing out by military experts here that it is the only one available to the Germans in extricating themselves from France. A dispatch from Bordeaux contained an official French statement which declared that the German line of retreat to the eastward of the Argonne forest had been cut off, owing to the rapid advance of the allies. Germans Are Rushed Westward. That Berlin realizes the gravity of the situation in France is indicated in reports that troops which were sent into Russian Poland and Galcia to help the Austrians, are being withdrawn and rushed westward to the aid of the hard-pressed Germans in France. . This withdrawal is in the face of overwhelming defeat to the Austrians, reported in official dispatches from Petrograd. Practically all along the Austro-Russian firing line the Austrians are said to be In full flight and utterly demoralized. If the French official reports are correst, all the German armies, except that facing Verdun and a few miles southwest, are retreating. General von Kluck's army, which a week ago was a few miles to the southeast of Paris has retired more than 60 miles to the northeast, while on the extreme right the army of the Bavarian crown prince, which was attacking the French eastern line from Nancy to Epinal, has fallen back to the frontiers of Lorraine, permitting the French to reoccupy Luneville and several other towns. General Joffre, the French commander- in-chief, pictures the retreat as hurried, if not disorderly, with the Germans abandoning prisoners, wounded and supplies. * The battle' of the Marne, which was decided in a week, is regarded by military critics as the most marvelous reversal of roles of two armies known. In their view it appears to have decided the first phase of the war and to have made impossible the plan which the German staff is supposed to have had of smashing the French by one comprehensible stroke, and then turning the bulk of the German forces eastward to confront the Russians. Belgians March on Brussels. The military experts, however, are still cautious. While recognizing the possibility that the German armies may yet rally and draw a strong defensive line, they recognize also the possibility of the almost complete evacuation of France and Belgium. Paris announces that the Germans have exacuated Amiens. The whereabouts of German reinforcements of 60,000 reported to be marching south on three roads in that neighborhood from Belgium are unknown. The Belgian army is credited with the determination to reoccupy Brussels and claims to have cut the railroad between Liege and Brussels, thus severing an important German line of communication, and to be pushing the scattered German forces, composed for the most part of reservists, towards the southeast Thoroughly Soured.

There ure many curious betrothal customs In Germany that are found in no place„ else in the world. As soon as a German girl Is betrothed she is addressed as "bride'* by her fiance. The betrothal is a more serious affair than in England, and is not so easily broken. The girl is called "bride" until the wedding, Yghen she assumes the title of "wife." Immediately upon the betrothal the lovers exchange rings, which, if the course of true love runs smooth, are to be worn ever afterward. Tbe woman wears her betrothal ling on the third finger of her left hand until she is married, and then it is transferred to the third finger of her right hand. The man continues to wear his ring just as the wife wore hers when she was a bride Men and Fools. A man can be as big a fool at thirty as he can be at twenty or, for that matter, at sixty, with this difference. that at twenty he doesn't know that be is a fool. He thinks that be is a god and enjoys the experience. At sixty be knows well enough what he is and thanks his stars that he has yet another chance before going down tu the grave. But at thirty-five he has neither the illusions of youth nor the consolations of age. He is young enough to feel foolish and old enough to know better.—"Curing Christopher." - i ' Japanese Idols.

When the first glimpse of the fair grounds had been caught by the eye, everyone was impressed with the cleanliness of both build* ings and grounds. The grounds were spacious, but all buildings, especially the grandstand, would bear enlargiug to offer better accommodations for the large crowds. A grandstand on the ball ground* would also adi to the comfort of the base ball fane. The floral hall waB built in the form of n Greek cross. The exhibits placed therein were a pleasure to the eye owing to the tasteful way in which they had been arranged. The poultry and Holstein exhibits were equal in value to those shown at the Michigan State Fair. Every advertised feature of the fair was pnlled off successfully except thn daily flights of the stir ship which only went np on the last day. Trie races were excellent, as were also the ball games between Fowlerville and Webberville Wedru-sday, in which Fowlerville won,, between Gregory and Stockbridge Thursday in which Stockbridge won and the decisive game between the two previously winning teams on Friday ia which Stockbridge won out. The fair this year was Howell's first attempt at a county fair. The committees worked hard and are certainly to be congratulated on the results. A large number from this vicinity attended the fair.

London—With Paris practically in a itate of siege after the removal of the government to Bordeaux some hope was inspired among the allies by the report that the extreme right wing of the German advance had been forced back to a point seventy-five ' miles away. It is not thought that this means that the main attack of the enemy h£s been thereby checked to any great extent. What was considered as very significant was an official statement by the British press bureau, in which it was said a new German movement had developed to the eastward and southeastward. The war office, however, declined to give a definite geographical location for this movement, but military men took it that the Kaiser was trying to close in on Paris from the east and southeast, as well as continuing his efforts from the north of France. British, French and Belgian wounded are being transferred from Paris to other cities, and the great exodus of the populace of the French capital to the south continues. It was officially announced in Paris by the war office that the opposing armies "around Paris have not come in contact They continue their movements, taking positions." The statement added: "The Germans have been checked at Verdun. The French are successful in Lorraine and the Vosges. The situation has not changed." Despite the reports of the momentous developments of the fighting at the front, the officials in Paris,and London continued to maintain their contentions that nothing of importance had developed. From the British war press bureau came the following: "The situation in the French theatre of war has not undergone substantial cha'nge. The position of the allies is well maintained. "There are indications that a German movement Is developing in an eastward and southeastward direction." The Paris war office said: "The movements of the opposed armies outside Paris continued without any attempt having been made by the enemy against our various positions." Every able-bodied Briton of military age was called upon by Prime Minister Asquith to rally to the national standard. Recruiting in England has improved so that divisions totaling 120,000 men are practically fully organized. French Center Reported Broken. German advices from Berlin report that the German army is now pushing through the center and has cap- - tured Mezieres, in the department of Ardennes, where the French center hitherto has been able to hold back the German advance. According to the same advices, the left wing of the allies has now fallen back on its third line of defenses. Berlin newspapers gay that the battle raged between Rheims and Vere dun, beginning Monday and lasting well through Wednesday. The Germans claim a victory in the three days' fighting on the Use from Rheims and Verdun, saying that the French opposition was strongly maintained, but that eventually it was crushed. Russian Soldiers in France. New York—A Russian army of 72,- ; 000 men, transported from Archan- . geL Nussia, was landed at Aberdeen, ' on the east coast of Scotland, on An- ; gust 37, and conveyed on special - t r a i n s to Harwich, Grimsby arid , Dover, where transports were waiting - f v t* teke them to Ostend, in Belgium, ^ according to officers and passengers ' v of ~ the Cnnard liner Mauretania, wife* reached here Thursday night GERMANS LEAVE MOULAND IN RUINS '•••':"'4 H:" ,&» >,(^ from liyersooL Bvery precaution was taken by the * Sngttsh and Bsnstan military authorities, persons on the afanrotsnta said, to keep the fee* thai foreign soldiers 0S^^BIBV^B> , •JS^BSSSSSJBJ •_ * ^SSSSS^SSSSS'JB^^SWIBJ^BJSSF SB^ST", '^BSSBs^ps^eSjSns} J * * * from becoming known and the service on the east coast railway lines was suspended during the 17 hours the troop trains were on their Journey. The passengers said that the trip of the Russian troops from Archangel to Aberdeen occupied three days. It was generally believed by those on the Mauretania who made these statements that the Russians would be joined at Ostend by British marines waiting there to receive then and that the combined forces would co-operate with the Belgian army in Antwerp. Austrlans Are Badly Beaten, London—With Lemberb, the capital of Galicla and the objective of the Russian attack for the past week, captured ,togeJher with a vast amount of cannon and supplies and thousands of prisoners, the Russian invaders are sweeping forward further into Austrian- territory in pursuit of a whipped and terror-stricken army, according to dispatches received here from official and press sources in Petrograd (St. Petersburg). So thorough has become the victory of the Czar's troops, it Is stated at the war office at Petrograd, that the entire Austrian army is in danger of complete annihilation. A German corps has been sent to Galcia to aid the defenders, it is reported from Vienna, but it is believed that the Russians have so completely broken through the line of defense that the reinforcements will prove of little value at this late hour. From all along the line of battle in Galcia come reports of Austrian retreats after fierce fighting, to the dead upon the field of encounter testify. FRENCH CAPITAL IS MOVED Paris—The president and members of the government and all embassies of the allied nations left at 10:50 Wednesday night for Bordeaux, where they will remain during hostilities. A proclamation has been issued by the government announcing that the government departments will be transferred" temporarily to Bordeaux, The proclamation was issued by the minister of the interior, who said the decision had been taken solely on the demand of the military author* ties because * the fortified places of Paris, while not necessarily, likely to be attacked, would become the pivot of the field operations of the two armies. " The building of supplementary defense works Is proceeding vigorously. Several of the gates of Paris have been closed to traffic. Ambassador Herrlck, who has taken charge of the archives and embassies of all the belligerent powers, will remain in Paris with First Secretary Bliss and the second secretary. The United States will be represented in Bordeaux by John W. Garrett, United States ambassador to Argentine, who left with the government, accompanied by Third Secretary Sulzton. Ambassador Herrlck, remaining here, will be enabled to afford protection to Americans, as the ambassadorial residence is neutral territory where Americans may find refuge in case of need. His presence here will also make it possible for the American banking interests to continue operating with a view to relieving possible distress of Americans. The . United States hankers, Morgan, Harjes ft Co., will remain open in Paris, while a special representative with large funds in cash has been dispatched to Bordeaux. Bordeaux Is situated in the extreme southwestern part of the country. This city can be captured by the Germans only after a long march.

" • - \ . yr WILSON ASKS TAX ACT President Reads His Seventh * Message To Congress Deficit In Revenue Caused By War to Be Met By Internal Tax Legislation. Washington—President Wilson personally addressed congress in jojnt session Friday, urging legislation to raise $100,000,000 a year additional revenue through internal taxes to meet a treasury deficit threatened by the conflict in Europe, The president told congress that he discharged a duty which he wished with all his heart he might have been spared, but which he performed without hesitation or apology, because of the danger in present circumstances to create a "moment's doubt as to the strength and sufficiency of the treasury of the United States." While the treasury, he said, could get along for a considerable period, he pointed out the peril of the government's withdrawing from the national banks approximately $75,000,- 000 of the treasury balance deposited there; advised against the government borrowing money or selling bonds which make a "most untimely and unjustifiable demand upon the money market," and appealed to the "intelligent and profoundly patriotic public" to bear the burden of a special tax to meet the unforseen emergency. President Is Cheered. President Wilson was cheered for almost two minutes when he entered the house chamber, his reception being more demonstrative than that which was accorded him when he last appeared before a joint session of the two bodies to read his message on Mexico. While the greater applause came naturally from the Democratic side. Republicans and Progressives joined to an extent in the welcome. The galleries were crowded. This was his seventh appearance to read a message. Apparently there was undiminished interest m the event and admission tickets were at a premium. Secretaries McAdoo and Lane, Postmaster- General Burleson and Attorney-General Gregory occupied seats on the floor, and Secretary Bryan, as usual, sat in the executive gallery. Many Congressmen Absent. Owing to the absence of so many senators and representatives from Washington there was a Bmaller attendance at Friday's joint session than ever before when President Wilson addressed congress. Scores of seats were vacant, while a number of representatives were about to bring their children in to see the president. Another Innovation was the absence of any punctuating applause during the address. When the president first entered the chamber and when he concluded the applause was generous, but at no point during his delivery was there any demonstration what* ever. The president began reading his address promptly at 12:30 o'clock after loud cheers had subsided, and some members of the southern delegations gave him a "rebel yell." Congress listened attentively to' the address. Immediately noon its con- ) elusion the legislative machinery was set in motion to carry its recommendation Into effect. Chairman Underwood called * meeting of the ways and means committee to perfect an internal revenue measure tentatively drafted in preliminary conferences. ( * NEWS TOLD IN BRIEF.

From 700 to 1,000 cattle will be on exhibition, there being fully 000 of the distinctively dairy breeds. This is a greater showing by far than a Michigan Fair has ever aeen.^ In addition to the premiums which are given for each ciaas and which are 25 per ceuUgreater than last year, the State Fair management offers $100 prizes for each fifty heaTF of cattle shown by Michigan cattle breeders' societies. The Holstein breeders have been especially active in their acceptance of the offer, and tbe> Livingston County, Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan associations have each announced their in* tention ot exhibiting at least half a hundred head. Similar acceptances bare been received from Jersey and Guernsey breeders' associations, while Shorthorn breeders declare they are not to be counted oat. Two other deky features of Importance are announced. The Detroit milU show will be held in conjunction. with the Fair, and the September scoring contest of butter and cheese will be conducted by the state dairy and food | department at the Fair grounds.

A cup will be given for the best specimen of market milk, another for the best specimen of mar ket cream and a third for the best specimen of certified milk. The bau ner will go to the distributer having the highest score in the show. A representative of the United States department of agriculture will score the exhibits, and competition will be open to milk distributers and dairymen throughout Michigan. The scoring will be upon the basis of bacteria, flavor and odor, visible dirt, butter fat, solids not fat, acidity and appearance of package.

It wa* to instruct the farmers of f Miehigan, hi the growing of crops forf feeding dairy cattle, the handling of dairy hards for profitable production | and the breeding of pure bred dairy cattle. "Instead of teaching farmers to raisi crops of. wheat, rye, barley-and corn to be sold tar the elevator mau In tuv neighboring village the dairy depart ment officials at the college urged the farmers to grow such crops as could be fed to dairy cattle. Silage corn and alfalfa are the principal crops of this kind, and the result of feedlns them to a herd of dairy cows 1» one that comes very close to realising the inventor's dream—a perpetual motion machine. The fertility of the farm is increased instead of diminished, and the products of the dairy in the form of milk, butter fat and surplus stock always command a ready cash market at a profitable price. u In the fall of 1912 the present dairy building was completed as a home and headquarters for dairymen who attend the Fair. This year it will be mnoY more easily accessible by the construction of a wide cement walk from the rear of the cattle sheds t& the door of the demonstration barn.

Forfeiture of property was made the penalty for killing or ^disabling any kind of wild beast, while the slayer of a stag, buck or bear, if convicted, had his eyes put out These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and nobility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. In fact, the principal purpose of the pioneer "game law" was to provide sport for the few. The first par- i liamentary game law in England was passed in 1496. Game laws in America have become increasingly strict of late years, but they were adopted too late to save many species, notably the buffalo, from almost complete extinction.— New York World.

When that colony was projected it was established to the utmost detail on paper before the colonists set sail from England. The capital was laid out upon a surveyor's drawing board, and all that remained to do on landing was to find a fiat piece of ground on which to drive the stakes. Adelaide Is composed of four areas, a mile in each dimension, these areas being parted by two streets of noble width. Quite around the city extends a park land a mile in width, and this is maintained as a perpetual reserve upon which.the only encroachments are such wholly public establishments as government house, parliament house and botanic gardens on the nortb terrace, the remainder being maintained as park and recreation grounds.—New York Sun.

Their household 'goods sold, the 1100 auction money, all they have left, will place Abe In the Old Man's home, or Angy In the Old Ladies' home. Both are self-sacrlflctng but Abe decides: "My dear this is the fust time I've had a chanc« to take the wust of it." The old couple bid good-by to the little house. Terror of "what folks will pay" sends th*m alons by-paths to the gate of the Old Ladles* home. CHAPTER lit—Continued. Now the Amazonian Mrs. Homan, a widow for the third time, made sturdy retort: "That's jest like yew old maids—always a-blamin' the men. Yew kin Jest bet I never would have let one of my husbands go ter the poorhouse. It would have mortified me dretful. It must be a purty poor sort of a woman what can't take the care of one man and keep a roof over his head. Why, my second, Oliver 0., used ter eay—" "Oh!" Miss Bllie wrung her hands, "can't we do somethin'?" "I could do a-plenty," mourned Miss Abigail, "ef I only had been savin'. Here I git a salary o' four dollars a month, an' not one penny laid away." "Yew iergit," spoke some one gently, "that It takes consid'able ter dress a matron proper." Aunt Nancy, who had been sneezing furiously at her own impotence, now -found her speech again. "We're a nice set ter taHc erbout dewin' somethin'—a passel o' poor ole critters like us!" Her cackle of embittered laughter was interrupted by the low, cultivated voice of .the, belle of the home, "Butterfly Blossy." "We've got to do something," said Blossy firmly. .When Blossy spoke with such decision every one of the sisters pricked up her ears. Blossy might be "a shaller- pate;" she might arrange the golden-white hair of her head as befitted the crowning glory of a young girl, with puffs and rolls and little curls, and—more than one sister suspected— with the aid of "rats;" she might gown herself elaborately In the mended finery of the long ago, the better years; ehe might dress her lovely big room—the only double, bedohamber In the house, for which she had paid a double entrance fee—in all sorts of gewgaws, little ornaments, hand-painted plaques of her own producing, lace bedspreads, embroidered splashers and pillow-shams; she might even permit herself a suitor who came twice a year more punctually than the line-storms, to aek her withered little hand in marriage—but her heart was in the right place, and on occasion she had proved herself a master hand at "flxin' things." "Yes," said she, rising to her feet and flinging out her arms with an eloquent gesture, "we've got to do something, and there's just one thing to do, girls; take the captain right here— here"—she brought her hands to the lacee on her bosom—"to our hearts!" At first there was silence, with the ladies staring blankly at Blossy and then at one another. Had they heard aright? Then there came murmurs and exclamations/with Miss Abigail's voice gasping above the others: ] "What would the directors say?" "What do they always say when we ^ a favor?" demanded Blowy. M"How much will it cost?' It won't cost a cent" • "Won't, eh?" snapped Aunt Nancy. '"How on earth be yew goto' to vittle 90a? I. hain't had a second dish o' "peas this year." "Some men eat more an' some less," remarked Sarah Jane, as ill-favored a spinster as ever the sun shone on; "generally it means so much grub Ur so much weight" Miss Abigail glanced up at the celling, while Lasy Daisy, who had refused to tip the beam for ten years, surreptitiously hid an apple Into which she bad been biting. Tie's have 'em weighed," suggested a widow, Ruby Lee, with a pretty, well-preserved little face and figure, "an* e! tergether they don't come up to the heartiest one of us—" Miss Abigail made hasty interruption: •*Oels, hain't yew never noticed that the more yew need the more yew git?

Naow, haow many of yew is willln' ter try !t?" Every head nodded, "I am;" every eye was wet with the dew of merciful kindness; and Mrs. Homan and Sarah Jane, who had flung plates at each other only that morning, were observed to be holding hands. "But haow on arth be we a-goin' ter sleep him?" proceeded the matron uneasily. "Thar hain't a extry corner in the hull place. Puttln' tew people in No. 30 is out of the question—it'B jest erbout the size of a Cinderella shoe box, anyhow, an! the garret le§ks—" She paused, for Blossy was pulling at her sleeve, the real,Blossy, warmhearted, generous, self-deprecating. "I think No. 30 Is Just the coziest little place for one! Do let me take it, Miss Abigail, and give the couple my great big barn of a room." Aunt Nancy eyed her suspiciously. "Yew ain't a-gwine ter make a fool o' yerself, an' jump over the broomstick ag'in?" For Blossy's old suitor, Samuel Darby, had made one of his semiannual visits only that morning. The belle burst into hysterical and self-conscious laughter, ae she found every glance bent upon her. "Oh, no, no; not that. But I confess that I am tired to death of this perpetual dove-party. I just, simply can't live another jninute without a man in the house. "Now, Miss Abigail," she added imperiously, "you run across lots and fetch him home." "Thar, thar, father! Jest think haow dretful I'd feel a-goln' deown without yer." "So you would!" strangely comforted. "So you would, my dear!" For her sake he tried to brighten up. He joked clumsily as they stood on the threshold of the chamber, whispering, blinking his eyes to make up for the lack of their usually ready twinkle. "Hoi' on a minute; supposln' I ferglt whether I be a man er a woman?" Her love gave Inspiration to her answer: "I'll lean on yer, Abe." Juet then there came the loud, Imperative clanging of the breakfastbell; and she urged him to hurry, as "It wouldn't dew" for them to be late the first morning of all times. But he only answered by going back into the room to make an anxious survey of his reflection in the glass. He shook his head reprovingly at the bearded countenance, as if to say: "You need not pride yourself any longer on looking like Abraham Lincoln, for you have been turried into a miserable old woman." Picking up the hairbrush, he held it out at arm's length to Angy. "Won't yew slick up my hair a leetle bit, CHAPTER IV. One of Them. Ah! but Abraham had slept that night as if he had been drawn to rest under the compelling shelter of the wings of all that flock which in happier days he had dubbed contemptuously "them air old hens." Never afterward could the dazed old gentleman remember how he had been persuaded to come into the house and up the stairs with Angeline. He only knew that in the midst of that heartbreaking farewell at the gate, Miss Abigail, alt out of breath with running, red In the face, but exceedingly hearty of manner, had suddenly appeared. "Shoo, shoo, shoo!" this stout angel had gasped. "Naow, Cap'n Abe, yew needn't git narvou*. We're as harmless as doVes. Run right erlong. Yew won't see anybody ternight Don't say a word. It's all right. Sash! Shoo!" And then, lo! he was not in the county almshouse, but in a beautiful, bright bedchamber with a wreath of immortelles over the mantel, alone with Angy. Afterward, It all seemed the blur of a dream to him, a dream which ended when he had found his head upon a cool, white pillow, and had felt glad, glad—dear God, how glad!—to know that Angy was still within reach of his outstretched hand; and so he had fallen asleep. But when he awoke in the morning there stood Angeline in front of the glass taking her hair out of curl papers; and then he slowly began to realize the tremendous change that had come into their lives, when his wife committed the unprecedented act of taking her crimps out before breakfast He realized tha£ they were to eat among strangers. He had become the guest of thirty "women- folks." No doubt he should be called "Old Oal Thirty-one." He got up and dressed very, very slowly. The bewildered gratitude, the Incredulous thanksgiving of last night, were as far away ae yesterday's sunset. A great seriousness settled upon Abe's lean face. At last he burst forth: "One to thirty! Hy-guy, I'm In fer it!" How had it happened, he wondered. They had given him no time to think. They had swooped down upon him when his brain was dulled with anguish. Virtually, they had kidnaped him. Why had they brought him here to accept charity of a women's institution? Why need they thus intensify his sense of shame at his lift's failure, and, above all, at his failure to provide for Angeline? In the poor house he would have been only one more derelict; but here he stood alone to be stared at and pitied and thrown a sickly-satisfying crumb. With a sigh from the very cellar of his being, he muttered: "Aye, mother, why didnt yew let me go on tar the county house? That air's the place fer a worn-out eld hull like me. Hy-guy !M he ejaculated, beads of sweat standing oat on his forehead, *Td rather lay deown an' die th*n fane tham air women,** "That, thar!M soothingly spoke Angy, laying bar hand on hit ana. Why Had They Brought Him Here to Accept Charity of a Woman's institution? mother?" he aeked, somewhat shamefacedly. "I can't see extry well this mornin'." "Why, Abe! It's slicked ez slick ez it kin be naow." However, the old wife reached up as he bent his tall, angular form over her, and smoothed again his thin, wet locks. He laughed a little, self-mockingly, and she laughed back, then urged him into the hall, and, slipping ahead, ted the way downstairs. At the first landing, which brought them into, full view of the lower hall, he paused, possessed with the mad desire to run away and hide, for at the foot of the stairway stood the entire flock of old ladles. Twentynifle pairs of eyeB were lifted to him and Angy, twenty-nine pairs of lips were smilitfg at them. To the end of his days Abraham remembered those smiles. Reassuring, unselfish and tender, they made the old man's heart swell, his emotions go warring together. He wondered, was grateful, yet he grew more confused and afraid. He stared amazed at Angeline, who seemed the embodiment of self-possession, lifting her dainty, proud little gray head higher and higher. She turned to Abraham with a protecting, motherly little gestere of command for him to follow, and marched gallantly on down the stairs. Humbly, trembling at the knees, he came with gingerly steps after the little old wife. How unworthy he was of her now! How unworthy he had always been, yet never realized to the full until this moment. He knew what those smiles meant, he told himself, watching the uplifted faces; they were to soothe his sense of shame and humiliation, to touch with rose this dull gray color of the culmination of his failures. He passecLbls hand over his eyes, fiercely praying that the tears might not come to add to his disgrace. And all the while brave little Angy kept smiling, until with a truly glad leap of the heart she caught sight of a blue ribbon painted in gold shining on the breast of each one of the twenty-nine women. A pale blue ribbon painted in gold with—yes, peering her eyes she discovered that it was the word "Welcome!" The forced smile vanished from Angeline's face. Her eyes grew wet, her cheek white. Her proud figure shrank. She turned and looked back at her husband. Not for one instant did she appropriate the compliment to herself. "This is for you!" her spirit called out to him, while a new pride dawned in her working face. Forty years had she spent apologizing for Abraham, and now she understood how these twenty-nine generous old hearts had raised him to the pedestal of a hero, while she stood a heroine beside him. Angy it was who trembled now, and Abe, gaining a manly courage from that, took hold of her arm to steady her—they had paused on a step near the foot of th.e stairs—and, looking around with his whimsical smile, he demanded of the bedecked company in general, "Ladies, be yew 'spectin' the president?" Cackle went the crackefl old voices of the twenty-nine in a chorus of appreciative laughter, while the old heads bobbed at one another as if to eay, "Won't he be an acquisition?" And then, from among the group there came forward Blossy—Blossy, who had sacrificed most that this should come to pass; Blossy, who had sat till midnight painting the gold-and-blue ribbons; Blossy, the pride and beauty of the home, in a delicate, old, yellow, real lace gown. She held her two hands gracefully and mysteriously behind her back as she advanced to the foot of the Btairs. Looking steadily ; in Abraham's eyes, she kept a-smillng until he felt as if the warmth of a belated spring had beamed upon him. "The president!" Her mellow, wellmodulated voice shook, and she laughed with a mingling of generous joy and tender pity. "Are we expecting the president? You dear, modeet man! We are welcoming—you!" Abe looked to Angy as if to* say, "How shall I take it?" and behold! the miracle of his wife's bosom swelling and swelling with pride in him. He turned back, for Blossy was making a speech. His hand to his head, he bent his good ear to listen. In terms poetical and touching ehe described the loneliness of the life at the home as it had been with no man under the roof of the house and only a deafand- dumb gardener who hated her sex, In the barn. Then in contrast she painted life as it must be for the sisters now that the thirty tender vines had found a stanch old oak for their clinging. "Me?" queried Abraham of himself and, with another silent glance, of Angy. (TO BE CONTINUED.) GOODYEAR TIRES AT ANTE-BELLUM PRICES The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announce "No war prices on Goodyear TireB." Mr. F. A. Sleberling, president of the Company, thus explains their unique position. "We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from 55 cents per pound to much over a dollar. "The New York supply was too small to consider. We cabled our London people to buy up the pick of the rubber there. By acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,- 000 pounds of the finest rubber. "That big supply of rubber is now nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. "We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it as we always have used in these tires. "We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire weers at before-war prices to the limit of our capacity."

The effect of smoke on cattle was the subject of an inquiry addressed to farmers in the vicinity of Leeds, England, in connection with the investigation being carried out at Leeds university concerning the effects of atmospheric pollution on vegetation. It was learned that the effects of a smoky atmosphere on both cattle and horses are marked; young stock do not thrive, while older animals require more food and greater care than those living in a less contaminated atmosphere. The effects are partly due to the respiration of. the smoke-laden air, and party to the Inferior quality of the grass growing under such conditions. The raising of sheep is even more difficult, because of the depreciation in value of the wool due to the smoke, and is rarely attempted near Leeds. Short Hours.

A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which ha makes public. "It waa my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebullder and restorer of nerve and brain tisane, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion and sick patients gain very rapidly, Just as I did in strength and weight "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; In fact I was not quite aa wall aa when I left home, "My food did not sustain ma and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mils without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, ten- Ing up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as wall and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public,'' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

But the kidneys give early signals of distress that should not be mistaken. Backache, headaches, dizzy spells, ftaenmatic pains, too frequent, scanty or painful urinatlod. are all signs of kidney weakness and should not be mistaken. When these warnings appear, use Doan'n Kidney Pills, the reliable, successful, strongly recommended kidney remedy. Help the medicine by drinking water freely, hold to good habits and a serious Attack of kidney disease may be avoided. Public testimony is the best proof of merit. A Michigan Case. Mrs. ' Mary E.

Once there was a Girl with a gleaming New Hampshire Forehead who used to exchange helpful Books with a studious young Man who had an Intellect of high Voltage. It will not be necessary to name these Books, as you never heard of them. Laura and Edgar were Comrades, in a way. They met under the Student Lamp and talked about Schopenhauer and Walter Pater, but the Affair never got beyond that Point It was not even warm enough to be called Platonic. It carried about as much Romantic Suggestion as a cold Hot Water Bottle. There grew up between them merely a Fellowship of the Super-Mind, or what a Wimp wearing Tortoise-Shell Spectacles would call Cosmahogany. Having cleared away the Underbrush, we will now proceed with the Narrative. Like every other Member of the Tribe of Mansard Mentalities, they regarded with much Contempt the School of Popular Fiction. Do you think they would stand for any of that old-style Guff about Sir Ralph getting the Hammer-Lock on Dorothy just outside the Loggia? Not on your Thought Waves! They regarded the Article commonly called Love as a lingering Symptom of some primeval Longing for Parlor Entertainment. It was agreed that each Soul was free and independent and had a,right to run on its own private Time-Table. Laura said she was going to live her Life in her own Way and that no Wallopus in striped Trousers could leave her marooned in a Flat, working under Sealed Orders. Edgar did not choose to carry Overweight while working out his Career and grew faint at the very Thought of there was not a Voice to break the celestial Silence. He figured that Children must be an awful Worry. He brooded over the Kid Proposition so much that soon after he was 30 years of Age he used to go around and borrow his Nephews and Nieces and take them to the Circus and buy expensive Presents for them and upset the Household Rules. Occasionally he would take a new Book dealing with the Higher Things of Life up to his old friend Laura and he would find her feeding the Birds, with the Cat asleep in the Corner and an imported Dog with many Curls preempting the principal Chair. They would discuss Prison Reform and Kipling and other Subjects in no way related to the awakening of the Maternal Instinct. When he owned up to 40 and she had stopped talking about it, the Reading Habit was no longer a Novelty with him, so merely to kill Time, hff was acting on the Visiting Board of an Orphan Asylum and was a Director of the Fresh Air Fund and was putting the Office Boy through a Business College. About the same time Laura was made the victim of a Conspiracy. A designing Day Laborer and his Wife deliberately up and died, leaving a Chick of a Daughter, all helpless and alone. Laura simply had to go over and grab the Young One and play Mother to her, because it all happened hardly I a Mile from her own Door-Step. She had been dodging these commonplace and old-fashioned Responsibilities all her Life and now cruel Circumstances compelled her to spend Hours in servile Attentions to a stray Specimen. Of course, she had Expert Advice of her old friend, Edgar, who made out the Adoption Papers and sent a lot of Merchandise up to the House, out of They Scouted the Suggestion That It Was a Love Match. shouldering a lot of Domestic Responsibilities. Marriage was an institution devised for Strap-Hangers who wanted, to get their Names Into the Paper. It was a childish' Refuge for those who lacked Courage to forsake the beaten Paths and strike out for the High Spots. It will he seen that they were somewhat Advanced. As far back as 1890 they were living in the 21st Century. Laura went in for Club Work and Cold Baths and Card-Indexing. She felt sorry for the Married Women. They were always fussed up over getting a^Laundress or telling about new cases of Scarlet Rash or else 'phoning the Office to make sure that the Bread-Winner was at the Desk and behaving himself. When she let down her Hair at Night she did not have to do any checking up or put the bottle of Squills on the Radiator. She was Free and Happy. A little lonesome on Rainy Days, but the freest thing you ever saw and she had iter Books. Edgar looked about him and saw the Slaves of Matrimony watching the Clock and getting ready to duck at 1} p. m. and he rejoiced inwardly. He could land in at his little Indtf pendente Hall at 3 g. m. and turn on all the Lights and drape his Wardrobe over the Ruga and light Cigarettes and the promptings of a broad and general sentiment of Pity for the Unfortunate: Even when they stood up to be Married they were still stringing themselves. . He was bald and grizzled and she was a little droopy around the Shoulders and had not been able to massage away the more important Wrintles. They scouted.the Suggestion that It was a Love Match. It seemed that she needed a Night Watchman and he was "afraid to be alone In the Dark with the Memories of the Past.

Anthony, who, with 15 trunk louds of gowus of her own design, has gone ^o Europe to te*ach the European dressmakers a lesson, said in the restaurant of the steamer: "The American woman is the besi dressed woman in the world. And the American man is the best dressed man in the world—a fact so well recognized in Europe that he doesn't have to go over there with 15 trunks to establish his claim. "Yes, in dress as in morals, the American man leads. "And how splendid his morals are! "A girl sculptor from the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts was traveling in the wilds of the West alone. " 'But aren't you afraid to travel unprotected?' an English rancher asked her. "'No; oh, no,' she answered. 'Besides, I don't travel unprotected.

Workers Without Wages. Birds live to eat It is lucky for men they do. Some years ago a French scientist, told the world that 4f all the birds should suddenly die man would have only a year's life left to him and proved his point to the satisfaction of other scientists. How much does a bird eat? Take a robin as an example. It eats at certain seasons of the year about double its weight in insects and worms every day. The bird's dinner hour begins at sunrise and ends an hour after sunset Any legislation looking to the shortening of its hours or labor, which are coincident with its hours of eating, would bring famine. All the song birds and all the silent birds give their service to man, and they ask no pay for It except to be let alone.—Our Dumb Animals.

Between these two layers there is another layer that serves to throw out distinctly tbe beautiful qualities of the ornaments. The pieces of fishskin that form the ornaments are usually blue. Tbe front and back of tbe dress are adorned with these cutout pieces of .fishskin sewed with fishskin thread. Only Jar of Its Kind.

P h o n e 5 5 r 3 W A R N E W S y ^ Owing to the recent wars in Europe, it becomes necessary to advance the price on many drugs as the majority of crude drugs and chemicals are obtained from abroad. It is not my intention to advance the price only when necessary and then only sufficient to cover the wholesale advance. In event of the war continuing any length of time, many drugs will be eliminated entirely from the market owing to the exhaustion of supplies from the jobbers and drug depots, and their inability to replenish stocks aa commerce has been discontinued with all countries at war. The operation of a small store it usually done at a minimum of expense, and large stocks of drugs are not carried, making it necessary to go up and down with the market. I endeavor'to maintain a uniform price on all articles at all times regardless of the market, often times selling at a very small margin of profit. I assure my friends and patrons that prices on all advanced drugs will drop back as soon as the European countries will permit it. The following is a list of the more important drugs used in this vicinity ana the advance in retail price, also the advance from the former wholesale price.

It la understood that the fighting In progress at that time was along the Somme river, near Amiens. If this be true, it means that the vanguard of the German advance was within 70 miles of the French capital. Newspaper dispatches received Sunday help to confirm the fears of the Paris officials that a siege of Paris is Imminent The Times correspondent. In a dispatch said, "The first great German effort has succeeded," and that "England must face the fact that ber expeditionary force requires immediate and Immense reinforce* ments." He adds that the "investment of Paris cannot be banished from the field of possibilities/' It was admitted in Paris, according to reports received here, that the French officials are gravely considering sending all women and children from the capital. These reports are considered here to give strong color to the belief that the Paris officials expect a Blege. The prder of Saturday for homes within action of the city's forts to be evacuated and destroyed by September 3, shows, It is pointed out, how soon a siege is expected by the authorities, in the allies' defense to the north continues to give way. W. T. Massey, special correspondent of the Telegraph, wires that when the next great battle is fought the Germans will have one of the hardest tasks of the campaign. Assuming that the Germans continue to prosecute the offensive in the same region as battles of the past weak, there is good reason for stating that the line now held by allies is Infinitely stronger than any along which they have faced the foe so far; not only are the positions more favorable, but numbers will be less to their disadvantage. Whatever happens, tills fact can be stated with a certainty—the allies are awaiting attack with confidence, said the dispatches. The German hosts had a taste of their quality and unless the enemy alter their form of attack their losses will be enormous and the morale of the force will be .further shaken, the correspondent wires. Reports from various sources indicated that the fighting all along the lines of the allies and Germans was continued, with more intensity. The battle line of the allies now runs through Labercles, Leeateau and Cambrai. The Germans report that their forces have reached St Quentin are advancing from there toward of Latere.

The French, Paris dispatches say, nave received reinforcements on this northern line and are holding both flanks and have begun, with the English co-operating in the center, an offensive movement in an effort to drive the Germans back to the positions occupied before the disastrous engageamenta of the past week. The reports ^indicate that the allies are now in a position in which they are confident of success. According to a dispatch from Paris, a German aviator paased over that city in an aeroplane and dropped boom* which did only trifling damage. One contained a warning to the Parisians that the Germans were on the outskirts of the city and that the best thing to do wn* to surrender. Lord Kitchener, British secretary of war, Issued a long statement, covering ^he situation up to Sunday morning, in which he saya the English forces have -retired to their second v Ones of defease and that the French, ©n their right ant left have suoceed- • 4 in a^pin* tk^ Oerman a^vmnse* The statement says the Germans have not attacked the English, army since Thursday, when the four-day battle in the department of Nord ended. As to the situation in the VoBges region, the French official report says that along the line from the Somme river to the Vosges mountain range the defense is holding well. The report continues: "The fighting here has been notable for the great number of casualties. Two German regiments of 8,000 each were so depleted after three days that they were combined in a single organization of less than the German regimental strength." Germans Lose Four 8hips. London—At last the fleet has been heard from. Two German cruisers sunk and another fading into the mist wrapped In flames and in a sinking condition; two German destroyers sunk and others damaged, but to what extent is not known; but every vessel of the squadron afloat returning in good order is the message. Only the strategist expected the British squadron on guard to take the offensive; the amateurs long ago decided that the squadron would simply wait, content to keep the Germans bottled and prepared to attack them when they attempted a sortie; but apparently, the British got word that the time was favorable and delivered a blow, with the light cruisers and battle cruisers suppporting the destroyers, which were attended by submarines, and every one that went into this engagement came out under its own steam? Resr Admiral Beatty In Command. Rear Admiral Beatty, who conducted this brilliant and timely operation, is regarded as one of the ablest officers In the British navy and is one of its youngest admirals, having reached that rank a year ago. He was a great personal favorite of the late King Edward and a popular member of the Anglo-American society, having married a daughter of the late Marshall Field, of Chicago. Rear Admirals Moore and Christian, who are his immediate subordinates, both were recently promoted, and Commodore Goodenough has already had a distinguished career. Official Account of Fight Following is the text issued Friday night by the official press bureau: "Early this morning a concerted operation of some consequence WSB attempted against the Germans In Heligoland Bight. "A strong force of destroyers, supported by light cruisers and battle cruisers, and working in conjunction with the submarines, intercepted and attacked the German destroyers and cruisers guarding the approaches to the German coast. Two German destroyers werjs sunk and many damaged. Defenses of Paris Good. Washington—The fortifications of Paris and their ability to resist a siege are receiving the close attention of military observers, now that Paris is the announced objective point of the German forces and the French ministry of war has adopted urgent means of strengthening the city's defenses to the utmost. While the city's detailed defenses are surrounded with strict secrecy by French military authorities," yet their general character and formidable strength are well known to military experts, who recognize them as among the strongest fortifications in the world. These fortifications consist of three distinct circles sweeping around the city: First the solid wall of masonry IS feet high extend: ing for 22 miles around the old sections of Paris; second, the system of 17 detached forts arranged at intervals, two miles beyond the wail, and making a circuit of the city 24 milea ^...- . . ,. . long; and third, an outer girdle of Bwlogxw denies 5 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 1 ^ ^ 8 o n ^ hi*ht* *-i *. * — commanding^ thV valley' of Qflr Seine. Fortified Area 400 Miles. Each of these circles of masonry and steel is a complete defense in itself, the forts being linked together with redoubts, bastion and glacis which permit a cross-ire against approach from any direction. The magnitude of the system is shown by its area, which exceeds 400 square miles. Gejsjnany Attacks Belgian Congo.

The Belgian ambassador was handed his passports at the foreign office, all diplomatic relations were broken off and the way cleared for Austrian troops to join the Germans in the operations on Belgian soil. If necessary. Until this action Belgium was the only one of the allied powers at war only with Germany. France, England and Russia had heretofore made declarations against both Austria and Germany. The Austrian declaration of war was accompanied by the explanation that Austria was going to war because the Belgians were giving assistance to England and France. The American minister in Belgium will look after the interests of Austria, Italy Concentrating Forces. Rome—Large forces of Italian troops are being concentrated along the Adige river, north of Verona, less than 100 miles from Trient the Tyrolean town of Austria, where Austro- Hungarian forces are reported to be massing. Though government officials declare that nothing can alter Italy's determination to remain neutral, the situation is very grave. It is admitted that Austria's action in massing troops at Trient is uncalled for in view of the fact that both Switzerland and Italy have.declared their neutrality* but the Italians profess to believe that Austria will not bring another foe upon herself; Pjeturctqae Town i t Destroyed. ..

Under the pink rose a soft pink flush bloomed on either of the old lady's cheeks. Her eyes flashed with unconquerable pride, and her square, linn chin she held very high; tor now, indeed, she was filled with tenor of what "folks would aav" to thto ftwe»eftsJa** noc*% while* nelrftee* **» J * r 1» »W 4«y for a sunsnnde. Angy tucked the green-black affair whioh served them as both under her arm and swung Abe's figured old carpetbag in her hand with the manner ot one setting out on a pleasant journey. Abe, though resting heavily on his stout, crooked cane, dragged behind him Angy's little horsehair trunk upon a creaking, old, unusually large toy express wagon which he had bought at some forgotten auction long ago. The husband and wife passed into the garden between borders of boxwood, beyond which nodded the heads of Angy's carefully tended, outdoor "children"—her roses, her snowballs, her sweet-smelling syyingas, her waxlike bleeding-hearts and her shrub of bridal-wreath. "Jest a minute," she murmured* as Abe would have hastened on to the gate. She bent her proud head and kissed with furtive, half-ashamed passion a fluffy white spray of the bridalwreath. Now overtopping the husband's silk hat, the shrub had not oome so high as his knee when they two had planted it nearly a half-century ago. "You're mine!" Angy's heart cried out to the shrub and to every growing thing in the garden. "You're mine. I planted you, tended you, loved you into growing. You're all the children I ever had, and I'm leaving you." But : . " < Terror of What Folks Would lay to This Monie-Ceavlna* th« old wife did not pluck a single flower, for she could never bear to see a blosftdm wither in her hand, while all she said aloud was: I'm glad twas Mis' Holmes that bought fit the house.

Then as he stooped for her to arrange tha posy, she whispered; "I wouldn't care, 'cept for what folks must any. La's hurry before any one aaas us. I toM everybody that we wa'nt a-gwine tar4 still break up Ulf teraorrer mornln'." Fortunately, there waa a way across lots to tha Old Lamas' home, an unfrequented by-path over a field and through a bit of woodland, which would bring the couple almost tmobto a side gate. wirmnnitancas Ange* v husband's arm, and looking up Into hia face pleaded earnestly: "Father, lef* take the bunderd dollara far a fambly tombstun an' go tar the poorhouse tergetheri" He shook her off almost roughly and lifted the latch of the gate. "Folks 'd say we was crasy, mother." There waa no one in sight as he draggad in the express cart and laid down tha handle. Before him was a long, clean-swept path ending apparently in a mass of shrubbery; to the left was a field of sweet corn reaching to tha hedge; to the right a strong and sturdy growth of pole lima beans; and just within the entrance, beneath the sweeping plumes of a weeping willow tree, was a shabby but Inviting green bench. Abe's glance wandered from the bench to his wife's face. Angy could not lift her eyes to him; with bowed head she was latching and unlatching the gate through which he must pass. He looked at the eun and thoughtfully made reckon of the time. There were two hours before he could take tha train which— "LeT* go set deown a spell afore—" ha faltered—"afore we say good-by." She made no answer. She told herself over and over that she must— simply mustr-etop that "aU-pt^-tremble" feeling which was going on inside of her. She stepped from the gate to the beaoh blindly, with Abe's hand on jhar eray thoagsy ettt k a M ^ w l t h iaa>ag of tha trass kaatfie ho*. ' He laid dawn his eaaa, 400¾ oft hia high hat and wiped his brow. He looked at her anxiously. Still she could not lift her blurred eyes, nor oould she check her trembling. Seeing how she shook, he passed his arm around her shoulder. He murmured something'—what, neither be nor she knew—but the love of his youth spoke In the murmur, and again fell the silence. Angy's eyee cleared. She struggled to speak, aghaat at the thought that life itself might be done before ever they could have one hour together again; but no words came. So much— so much to say! She reached out her hand to where his rested upon bis knee. Their fingers gripped, and each felt a sense- of dreary cheer to know that the touch was speaking what the tongue could not utter. Time passed swiftly. The silent hour sped on. The young blades of corn gossiped gently along the field. Above, the. branches of the willow swished and swayed to the rhythm of the soft south wind. "How still, how still It Is!" whispered the breeae. "Rest, rest, rest!" was the lullaby swish of the willow. The old wife nestled closer to Abraham until her bead touched bis shoulder. He laid hie cheek against her hair and the, carefully preserved old bonnet' Involuntarily she raised her hand, trained by the years of pinching econom/, to lift the fragile rose into a safer position. Ha smiled at her action; then his arm closed about her spasmodically and he swallowed a lump in his throat The afternoon was waning. Gradually over the turmoil of their hearts stole the garden's June-time spirit of, drowsy repose. They leaned even closer to each other. The gray ot the old man's hair mingled with the gray beneath Angelina's little bonnet Slowly his eyes closed. Then even as Angy wondered who would watch over the slumbers of his worn old age in the poorhouse, she, too, fell asleep. ft and newfr p^aleajad shea* at her fragile, worn at* -aUft aad white petticoat to brambles. Moreover, the dragging of the loaded little wagon was more difficult here for Abraham. But they both preferred the narrower, rougher way to facing the curious eyes of all ShorevlUe now, the pitying windows of the village street As the couple came to the edge of the woodland, they turned with one accord and looked back for the last glimpse of the home. Biasing goldred" against the kitchen window flamed the afternoon sunlight. "Look a' that!" Angy cried eagerly, as one who beholds a promise in the skies. "Jest see, father, we couldn't 'a' made out that winder this fur at all ef the sun hadn't struck It Jest so. I declar' it seems almost as ef we could see the rocker, tew. It's tew bad, Abe, that we had ter let yer old rocker go. iy yew remember—f" she laid her hand on his arm, and lifted her gase, growing clouded and wistful, to his face. "When we bought the chair, we thought mebbe some day I'd be rocking a leetle baby in It Twas then, yew rlcolleo', we sorter got in the habit of callln' each other father* an' toother.' I wonder ef the young 'una had come—" "La's hurry/' interrupted Abe, almost gruffly. "Le's hurry." They stumbled forward with bowed heads In silence, until of a sudden they were startled by a surprised hall of recognition, and looked up to find themselves confronted by a hent and gray old man, a village character, a harmless, slightly demented public charge known as "IshmasT or "Captain Rover." "Whar yew goin', Cap'n Roeef The old couple had drawn back at the sight ot the gentle vagabond, and Angy clutched at her husband's arm, her heart contracting at tha thought that he, too, had become a pauper. "I'm a-takin' my wife ter line tha old ladles over ther ter tha hum," Aha answered, and would have paased on, shrinking from the sight of himself as reflected^ in poor Ishmaet But tha "innocent" placed himself to their path. 'Tew ain't a-goin' ter Jlne 'am tewT he bantered. Aba forced a laugh to bis lips In response. "No, no; I'm goto' oyer ter Yaphank ter board on the county."

HAVE LIVED WITHOUT BRAINS Casss on Record Seem to Sustain Contention That They Are Not Indlspenesble. French surgeons are striving to prove that the brain is not indispensable, and serves only to fill up the skull. Three recent cases tending to show this are reported by Dr. Btienne Destot, surgeon to the tribunal of the Seine, as having come under his personal observation. A twelve-year-old boy in care ot Dr. Daniel Molliere of Lyons was stated to hare lost a bowl of brains from falling over a stair rail and fracturing His skull on a gaa lamp, yet after ten daya of unconsciousness, he completely recovered his senses and all faculties. Doctor Destot has himself dressed for several months tha wound of a mason who had tha frontal bone and left frontal lobe of the brain torn away while mounting a large cornice atone. The patient waa unconsctoas $» 15 days, but regained bis -senses, and showed no impairment of faculties. The third case Is that of an Arab In care of Doctor Bruch of Algiers. Tha patient had coma to tha hospital with a wound on the left syelld and a depression of tha skull due to a severe hammer blow, but for two months ha showed no sign of brain trouble, whan he became suddenly unconscious and died.

If fountain pens have not attained perfection in the present day It is not because their youth warrants their indiscretions, for, according to a writer in the Pall Hall Gazette (London), this form of combined ink reserroh* and pen has been In use for o?#x 9Q0 years. E. S. Bates in his "Touring In 1W shows, he says, that trarelets wrote with them at that time. In the following century they appear to hare* been in common use, a dictionary published in 1764 defining "fountain pen" as "a pen made of silver, brass, etc., contrived to contain a considerable quantity of ink and let it flow out by degrees. To use the pen the cover must be taken off and the pen a little shaken to make the ink run more freely." British patents were obtained for fountain pens in 1809, one being granted to Joseph Brtmah of Bock fame and another to'F. and bushel crates for sale. 36t2 The readers of this paper will be pleasea *Ej..

In\vent of the war continuing any length of time, many drugs will be eliminated entirely from the market owing to the exhaustion of supplies from the. jobbers and drug depots, and their inability to replenish stocks as commerce has been discontinued with all countries at war. The operation of a small store is usually done at a minimum of expense, aud large stocks of drugs are not carried, making it necessary to go up and down with the market I endeavor to maintain a uniform price on all articles at all times regardless of the market, often times selling at a very small margin of profit.

Official news of the situation of the Japanese fleet and transports is lacking, bat because of the preparations which have been in progress since Japan sent her ultimatum to the Kaiser's government last Sunday, it is believed that everything was ready for the attack on Kiauchau when the time limit of the ultimatum expired Saturday night and that the attack already haB been begun. The Japanese expeditionary forces sent to Kiauchau are under the command of Vice-Admiral Kamimura. In official circles it is estimated that it will take three months to reduce Tsingchau, which is well garrisoned and provisioned for a siege. The area of hostilities extends over China eastward of the Yellow river. The Japanese will proceed to place all Germans under surveillance. Already they are ejecting Germans from Mukden, Chang-Chun and Dalny. Doubtless similar action will be taken at Tien-TBin. The proclamation of the emperor sent a thrill through the country. Japan's entrance on the fulfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled before the buildings occupied by the department of foreign affairs and the administration of the navy. Sunday evening there were lantern processions through the streets. The popular manifestations, however, do not approach the enthusiasm which preceded the war with Russia. Count von Rex, the German ambassador, has been handed his passports. He probably will leave for America, either on the Minnesota, sailing August 27, or the Manchuria, which will depart August 29. George W. Guthrie, the American ambassador, will represent Germany. The diet has been convoked in special session for September 3. The Austrian crusier Kaiaerin Elizabeth, which latterly was at Tsinchau, the seaport to have sailed. She perhaps will go to a neutral port and disarm. It Is believed this action will keep Austria out of the war in the Orient, although unforeseen circumstances -may force Japan to change this police. -v No action has been taken relative to Austria, and the foreign office has explained that Japan will remain friendly unless Austria should adopt an attitude which it would regard as offensive. gle In History. ^ . . _ - ^ - - • • ' • Was started In B e t ,,. .„„,. -»™-.'tne flr8t great bat- 'ot the war That has plunged the great powers of Europe into conflict Along 100 miles of lighting line at least 2,000,000 men are linked in a death grapple. Since Saturday, the straggle h a s been waged—from Mons, on the southern edge of Belgium, to the Luxemburg frontier. The English expedirationary force has at last emerged into ^ the open and is fighting at the side of ,- the French. One million Germans, - j flower of the kaiser's army, are face V t e face with the allied troops and with .vCavalry charge and cannonade and *;iMBad-to-<land encounter of the infantry, the destines of Europe are trembling in the balance. <( v No details of how the Issue of the strife goes are permitted to emerge *from behind the curtain that envelopes the scene. It will be days and maybe weeks before a decisive result has been Attained and the world i s perjaitted to know.

The pilot is above and the gunner below, with his gun" so mounted that it can be pointed in any direction. Gettysburg or Waterloo by comparison. At Mons, at Glvet, along both banks of the river Meuse, down at Neuf Chateau, and along toward Arlon, the embattled powers are struggling with varying success. At Luttere, in Hainesult, the province where Mons is also located, a bloody battle is in progress. One would say it was the left wing of the allies' army that is here engaged, since Luttre is but 10 miles from Mons to the northeast, and but five miles distant from Charleroi. Again between Charleroi and Namur, another great struggle is going forward. All the while a tremendous bombardment of the Namur forts is under way, and roar of the siege guns shaking the earth beneath the feet of millions battling for supremacy. From Namur to Charleroi is another 15 milegr. Along this line, the contest rages to halt the German advance toward Dlnant, but six miles from the French frontier. With Brussels captured, the Germans are apparently making no move toward Antwerp. Instead, the forces which occupied Brussels are passing through, the city and moving on down toward the French border. Russia Claims Victorious Advance. S t Petersburg.—It is claimed that Russia is moving fasCttr Austria and ea&WBi Prussia. An army o f l n v a - sion, numbering hundreds of thousands and comprising the picked forces of the Russian military forces, is penetrating the frontiers at a number of points, the .exact location of which is withheld.. The war office declare that the enemy, i s being slowly but surely pressed back. The Austrian opposition is admittedly not s o serious as is the German.- The official description of the fighting is "desperate." Among the killed and wounded are reported some of the best known nobles of the empire. The crack regiments from S t Petersburg and Moscow, officered by members of the royal family and scions of nobles houses, have been in action in Prussia. These regiments are reported to have covered themselves with glory, riding throagh the Prussian forces, and carrying fortified positions, at a fearfull cost to themselves. Only members of the families know of their loss, however, aa the government refuses to post aay lists of dead at this time. The Russian advance Into Prussia is following the line of the railway from Eydtkuhnen toward Konigsburg. It is already in the outskirts of raster* hart.

The Russian aerial corps, heretofore considered a negligible quantity, has covered itself with glory. It is announced that military aviators, carrying staff officers, have flown far Into the interior of both Germany and Austria. High explosives have been dropped on military storehouses and the general topography of the country, and the secret fortifications, have been accurately mapped. The main invasion of Austria is through the Styr riverjvalley. Sweeping successes are reported in this section. The army has penetrated 35 miles inland, in the general direction of Lemburg, capital of Galicia. Practically continuous fighting has occurred, with the war office claiming a sweeping victory at Krasne, only 35 miles from Lemburg. In this fighting it Is declared that an Austrian division was completely routed,- and that 17 guns and more than 1,500 prisoners were taken. The Russians are reported as following up their advance and to be pushing on toward Lemburg. Story of German Occupation. Rotterdam—Details of the German occupation Thursday of Brussels were received Friday. Burgomaster Max met the detachment of German cavalry which entered the city via the Louvain gate. He carried a white flag. The commander expressed friendliness and promlfted if the inhabitants of Brussels made no attempt at resistance, that no harm should come to the city or its people. In the afternoon German officers occupying an automobile crossed Grand place (the market place), going to the city hall, while detachments of Germans went through various parts of the city. The telegraph office and railway station were closed for the greater part of the day. Many of the inhabitants of Brussels are leaving for Ghent and Ostend. The general opinion i s that the Germans wtll only pasa through the city, or, at the most, make a very short stay there. 80 far only a cavalry detachment Is there. The only signs of animation in the place are caused by the arrival of peasants, -who are abandoning the surrounding villages. The German troopers have established themselves on the shooting ground. • ^ BRIEF NOTES OF WAR MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock, Grain and General Farm Produce. rf-iv sajBpae*aaape^s^B#"'. .s^^pSBMrajpst *• • 4 ajBBp^sBjBjpapejgsjsx * Wsw Valla, Belgium, cabled the state d*. aartaenC Satardajr s^saraaaea- af>iaw" safety of adMr^sflaB^M^BelsteBt ' - v Live Stock.

IN KITCHEN Proper Placlna of Electric F * n w , n Make Work Far Easier and Lesa Trying to Temper. For the woman who does her own cooking there is hardly any one thing that can give so much kitchen comfort as an electric fan. I have one placed on a shelf diagonally in line with the . top of the window. As everyone knows, heat, smoke and cooking odors rise to the ceiling, and, unless « l v e n an outlet, permeate all the rooms. Most apartment kitchens have one window, often on a court Unless there is a good breeze circulating out- Bide the hot air will not go out very quickly, even if the window is open at the top; at least, not quickly enough to prevent smoke and odors from escaping into the other rooms. An electric fan placed *s I have said will instantly drive the hot or smoky air out at the top of the window, and an incoming stream of cool air will be forced through the lower opening of the window. A 16-inch electric fan costs about fourteen dollars. If you already be*a an electric fan and don't know Just where to put it in order to make it do the greatest amount of good possible, try it in the kitchen, and cook in cool, smokeless, odorless comfort.— Kansas City Star. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Powdered starch applied instantly to fruit stains will remove them. . To loosen rusty screws apply a redhot poker to the head of the screw. If brass is rubbed with sweet oil after being polished it will not tarnish so quickly. For cleaning tin there is nothing better than dry flour rubbed on with a newspaper. Soak new potatoes in water that has a little soda dissolved in it, and you will find that they scrape and clean beautifully. A well-beaten white of an egg„ whipped into mashed potatoes before serving them will add greatly to the looks and to the taste of the dish. To prevent wet shoes becoming hard, clean them and rub vaseline over them before putting them away. This will keep them flexible and prevent the leather from cracking. Steamed Chocolate Pudding. Butter, three tablespoonfuls; sugar, two-thirds cupful; one egg; milk, one cupful; pastry flour, two and onefourth cupfuls; baking powder, four teaspoonfuls; unsweetened chocolate, two and one-half squares; salt, onefourth teaspoonful; vanilla, one teaspoonful. Cream the butter, add sugar gradually and egg well beaten. Mix and sift flour with baking powder and Bait and add alternately with the milk t o the first mixture, then add chocolate, melted. Turn into a buttered mold or individual cups; cover and steam two hours. fir >> ^ General Markets. Plums—$1.5002 per bu. Pears—¢1.2501.50 per bu. Huckleberries—-$3.5004 per bu.

The Tea Table. Angeline'e slender, wiry form and small, glossy gray head bent over the squat brown teapot as she shook out the last bit of leaf from the canister. The canister waB no longer hers, neither the teapot, nor even the battered old pewter spoon with whichv-she tapped the bottom of the tin to dislodge the last flicker of tea-leaf dust. The three had been sold at auction that day in response to the auctioneer's inquiry, "What am I bid for the lot?" Nothing in the familiar old kitchen •was hers, Angeline reflected, except Abraham, her aged husband, who was taking his last gentle ride in the old racking chair—the old armchair with painted roses blooming as brilliantly across its back as they had bloomed when the chair was first purchased forty years ago. Those roses had come to be a source of perpetual wonder to the old wife, an ever-present example. Neither time nor stress could wilt them a single leaf. When Abe took the first mortgage on the house in order to invest In an indefinitely located Mexican gold mine, the melodeon dropped one of its keys, but the roses nodded on with the same old sunny .hope; when Abe had to take the second mortgage and Tenafly Gold became a forbidden topic of conversation, the minute hand fell off the par- Jor clock, but the flowers on the back of the old chair blossomed on none the less serenely. The soil grew more and more bar- Ten as the years went by; but still the roses had kept fresh and young, so why, argued Angy, should not she? If old age and the pinch of poverty had •failed to conquer their valiant spirit, why should she listen to the croaktins tale? If they bloomed on with the same orimson flaunt of color, though (the rockers beneath them had grown warped and the body of the chair creaked and groaned every time one ventured to sit in it, why should ehe not ignore the stiffness which the years seemed to bring to her Joints, the complaints which her body threatened every now and again to utter, and fare on herself, a hardy perennial bravely facing life's winter-time? Even this dreaded day had not tak- ^ en one fraction of a shade from the glory of the roses, as Angeline could aee in the bud at one side of Abraham's head and the full-blown flower below hie right ear; so why should she droop because the sale of her household goods had been somewhat disappointing? Somewhat? When the childless old couple, still sailing under the banner of a charity-forbidding pride, became practically reduced to their last copper, just as Abe's Joints were "loosenin' up" after a five years' siege of rheumatism, and decided to sell all their worldly possessions, apart from their patched and threadbare wardrobes and a few meager keepsakes, they had depended upon raising at least two hundred dol- - lars, one-half of which was to secure Abe a berth "in the Old Men's home at Indian Village, and the other half to make Angeline comfortable for life, if s little lonely, in the Ola Ladies' home la- their own native hamlet of ShoreviUe, Both institution* had been generously endowed by the same estate, and were separated by a distance of but Ave miles/ "Might as waal be five hunderd, with my rheumatic1 an' yer weak heart," Abraham had growled when Angy first proposed the plan as the only digni- J e d solution to their problem of living ;^> *BnV! the little wife had rejoined, -¾ *ltll be a mite o' comfort a-knowin' a ;;^*v$vvpsy* so near, even of yer can't silt :-^&i^m^m - -. * • ^ - ¾ ¾ ^ be found v > ^ ; ; ^ r ^ j g tfc6 problem; for the auction, was MB/, and instead of two hundred dolm r O e y had succeeded, in raising but one Jtohftred dollars And two cents. :-.

He watched the color rising in her cheeks with a curious mixture of pride In her pride and regret at Us consequences. "It's no use a-talkin', mother, pride and poverty makes oneasy bedfellers." He leaned back In the old chair, creaking out a dismal echo to the auctioneer's "Going, going, gone!" while the flush deepened In Angy's cheek. Again she fastened her gaze upon the Indomitable red rose which hung a pendant earring on the right side of Abraham's head. "Yew wouldn't 'a' had folks a-comin' here ter bid jest out o* charity, would yew?" she demanded. "An' anyhow,' in a more gentle tone—the gently positive tone which she had acquired through forty years of living with Abraham—"we hain't so bad off with one hundred dollars an' tew cents, an' —beholden ter nobody! It's tew cents more'n yew need ter git yew inter the Old Men's, an' them extry tew cents '11 pervide for me jest bewtiful." Abraham stopped rocking to stare hard at his resourceful wife, an involuntary twinkle of amusement in his blue eyes. With increased firmness, she repeated, "Jest bewtiful!" whereupon Abe, scenting self-sacrifice on his wife's part, sat up straight and snapped, "Haow so, haow so. mother?" "It'll buy a postage stamp, won't it?'1—she was fairly aggressive now— "an' thar'e a envelop what wa'n't put up ter auction in the cupboard an' a paper bag I kin iron out—ketch me a-gwine ter the neighbors an' a-beggin' fer writing paper—an' I'll jest set daown an* write a line to MIBB' Halsey. Her house hain't a stun's throw from the Old Men's; an' I'll offer ter come an' take keer o' them air young 'uns o' her'n fer my board an' keep an'—ten cents a week. 1 was a-gwine ter say a quarter, but I don't want ter impose on nobody. Seeln' that they hain't over well-ter-do, I would go fer nothin', but I got ter have somethin' ter keep up appearances on, so yew won't have no call ter feel ashamed of me when I come a-vteitin' ter the hum." Involuntarily, as she spoke, Angy lifted her knotted old hand and smoothed back the hair from her brow; for through all the struggling years she had kept a certain, not onpleasing, girlish pride in her personal appearance. Abraham had risen with creaks of his rheumatic Joints, and was now walking up and down the room, his feet lifted slowly and painfully with every step, yet still Ms blue eyes flashing with the Are of indignant protest "Me a-bunkin' comfortable in the Old Men's, an' yew a-takin' keer o' them Halsey young 'uns fer ten cents a weekf I wouldn't take keer o' 'em fer ten cents a short breath. Thar be young 'una an' young 'una," he elucidated, "but they be tartars! "Yew'd be in yer grave afore the fast frost; an' who's gwine ter bury yer—the taown?" His tone became gentle and broken: "No, no, Angy. Yew be a good gal. an' dew just as we calclated on. Yew jine the Old Ladles'; yew've got friends over thar, yew'll git erlong splendid. An' 111 git erlong tew. Yer know"—throwing his shoulders back, he assumed the light, bantering tone so familiar to his wife—"the poor* house doors is always open. I'd Jest admire ter go thar. Thar's a rocking chair in every room, and they say the grub is A No. 1." He winked at her, smiling his broadest smile in his attempt to deceive. . Both wink and smile, however, were lost upon Angy, who was busy dividing the apple sauce In such a way that Abe would hftve^the larger share without suspecting it, hoping the while that he would not notice the absence of butter at this last home meal She herself had never believed in buttering bread when there was "teas" to eat with it; but Abe's extravagant tastes bad always carried him to the point of desiring both butter end sauce as a relish to his loot "Naow, fur's I'm concerned," pursued Abe, 1 hain't got nothin' agin the poorhoose fer neither men nor woman.

Above all,- she cared now for what they had said and what they still might say about her husband and this final ending to his downhill road. She rested her two hands on the table and looked hard at the apple sauce until it danced before her eyes. She could not think with any degree of clearness. Vaguely she wondered if their supper would dance out of sight before they could sit down to eat It So many of the good things of life had "vanished ere she and Abe could touch their lips to them.* Then she felt his shaking hand upon her shoulder and heard him mutter with husky tenderness: "My dear, this is the fust chance since we've been married that I've had to 'take the wust of it. Don't say a word agin It naow, mother, don't yer. I've brought yer ter this pass. Lemme bear the brunt o* it." Ah, the greatest good of all had not vanished, and that was the love they bore one to the other. The sunshine came flooding back into mother's heart. She lifted her face, beautiful, rosy, eternally young. This was the man for whom she had gladly risked She Wondered if Their Supper Would Dance Out of Sight. want and poverty, the displeasure of her own people, almost half a century ago. Now at last she could point him out to all her little world and say, "See, he gives me t h e red side of the apple!" She lifted her eyes, two bright sapphires swimming with the diamond dew of unshed, happy tears. I ' m a-thinkin', father," she twittered, "that naow me an' yew be a-gwine so fur apart, we be a-gittin' closer tergether in eperet than we've ever been afore." Abe bent down stiffly to brush her cheek with his rough beard, and then, awkward, as when a boy of sixteen he had first kissed her, shy, ashamed at this approach to a return of the oldtime love making, he seated himself at the small, bare table. This warped, hill-and-dale table of the drop-leaves, which had been brought from the attic only todav after resting there for ten years: had served « s their first dlning-^ftbl* when the 'honeymoon was youna> Abe thoughtfully drummed hi* hand on the board, and as Angy brought the teapot and sat down opposite him, he recalled: "We had bread an' tea. an' apple sass the day we set ijp housekeepin', dew yew remember, Angy?** "An' I bumed the apple Bass," she supplemented, whereupon Abe chuckled, and Angy went on with a thrill of genuine gladness oyer the fact thai he remembered the details of that long-ago honeymoon as well as she: "Yew don't mind havin' no butter tonight, dew yer, father?" He recalled how he had said to her at that first simple home meal: "Yew don't mind beln' poor with me, dew yer, Angy?" Now, with a silent shake of his head, he stared at her, wondering how it would seem to eat at table when her face no longer looked at him across the board, to sleep at night when her faithful hand no longer lay within reach of his own. She lifted her teacup, he lifted his, the two gasing at each other over the brims, both half-distressed, half-comforted by the fact that love still remained their toaetmaster after the passing of all the years. Of a sudden* Angy exclaimed, "We fergot ter say grace." Shocked and contrite, they covered their eyes with their trembling old hands and murmured together: "Dear Lord, we thank thee this day for oui daily bread." Angy opened her eyes to find the red roses cheerfully facing her from the back of the rocking chair. A robin had hopped upon the window sill jUBt outside the patched and ruety screen and Was joyfully caroling to her his views of life. Through the window vines in which the bird was almost meshed the sunlight sifted softly into the stripped, bare and lonely room Angy felt strangely encouraged and comforted. The roses became symbolical to her of the "lilies of the field which toil not, neither do they spin;" the robin was one of the "two sparrows sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;" while the sunlight seemed to call out to the little old lady who hoped and believed and loved much: "Fear ye not therefore Ye are of more value than man; sparrows!" CHAPTER II. MQood-by.H When the last look of parting had been given to the old kitchen and the couple passed out of doors, hushed and trembling, they presented an incongruously brave, gala-day appearance. Both were dressed in their best To be sure, Abraham's, Sunday suit had long since become his only, everyday suit as well, but he wore his Sabbath- day hat, a beaver of ancient design, with an air that cast its reflection over all his apparel.

Already suffering from bronchitis and a weak heart, the worry occasioned by the war involving all Europe brought on bronchial pneumonia, and he is a war victim aa truly aa If he had been struck down on the field of battle. He was ill four days. Death came shortly after 2 o'clock in the morning after a night spent in ^ ¾ .fruitless effort by his physician*, who •J^i^ >v had kept him alive for many hours with oxygen and hypodermic heart stimulants. His holiness had lain unconscious moat of the afternoon, but. rallied in the evening, became conscious for a time, and gave the physicians hope that he might recover. But his strength was gone, he soon relapsed into coma and gradually grew weaker until the end. He died while sleeping peacefully. Pope Suffers a Relapse. In the afternoon he suffered a relapse, and he received the last sacrament His sisters lighted the candles before the miraculous Images of St Joseph and remained prostrate, praying for hiB recovery. The ringing of the church bells notified the people of the exposition of the holy sacrament and called them to prayer. Cardinal Merry del Val, who was called in, left after a few minutes and issued a summons for the cardinals who have left the city for their vacations. N Before the relapse the pope addressed the whole world on the subject of the war. When he was told "that the roar of cannon in the Adriatic could be heard in Venice he exclaimed: "The bones of the doges must thrilli in their sepulchers at the familiar sound of battle, recalling the heroic days of-old!" Hat Reigned Eleven Years. The pontiff, for whom the world is. mourning, passed away in his seventyninth year, in the eleventh year of his reign. Although his rule was brief, his lovable personality made him one of th« most illustrious occupants of the throne of St. Peter, and even the followers of the Socialist Mayor Nathan of Rome, by their presence before the Vatican, showed their desire to pay homage to the Catholic pontiff Plus X. Wat Born June 2, 1835. Pope Pius X. was a native of the kittle village of Rtese, in the Venitian province of Trevisco, which in 1303, gave to the church a pontiff in Nlccola Boccasini, who assumed the triple crown under the name of Bene* diet. XI. Born June 2, 1835, to a poor and humble family of the name of Sarto, Pins X. was christened Giuseppe (Joseph) and known throughout life by the dialect equivalent of Giuseppe,' "Beppo." The early life of Pope Pius was filled with activity. The district of Treviso is one of poverty, only those who have seen it realizing the struggle for existence that ever prevails. From an early age Giuseppe, bred tc sturdy outdoor life, displayed a bent for the priesthood. The educational resources of his birthplace were soon exhausted, and the lad's studious learnings demanded a wider field tor their development He was sent to a college,.at Caatel, France, and from there was transferred to the Central 8emtnary at Padua, the world-renowned seat of Italian learning. On September 18» 1851, the young seminarist received his priest's orders In the Cathedral of Castel-Frince, That year was a memorable one for Italy. The question of; Italian liberatton had bees forced to the front by the attempt of Orsini to assassinate' NapoleotrQL, . r .. ?The diplomats of nations assembled, but the youngest priest was fiot oon- - Ceraed In' the movement He turned his back on the world and took up his dvtlea a# curate in the village of Tombelo. He soon was loved by bis pariahoners, to whom he endeared himself by his tntselnahnesa, his setf-tac- ^ 1 ¾ . ^ ¾ ¾ .

This promotion was supplemented by bestowal of the deanery on Father Sarto and his appointment as Episcopal chancellor. To him also waB confided tho delicate and important charge of spJ-C/.ual director of the Seminary of Treviso, in which college he was likewise 'given a professor's chair and an examlnership. Nor did his activities end here, for he was chosen as a Judge in the Capitular Ecclesiastical court, and finally was appointed vicar-general of the docese. After Buch an apprenticeship it was not surprising that when the important see of Mantuc became vacant, in 1884, Leo XIII chose Giuseppe Sarto to fill the place. It was no easy task to which he had been called, for his predecessor had allowed discipline to slack. His persuasive powers and administrative gifts were tested to the utmost, but he was fully equal to the ungrateful task. Two yoars later Pope Leo recognized Bishop Sarto's merits by raising him to the Sacred College, with the title of San Bernardo alle Temme, at a consistory held June 16, 1893. At the same time he was chosen out of all the Venetian prelates to fill the-patriarchate of Venice. Won Support of the Radicals. In his nine years' residence in the "seagirt" city the pope of the gondoliers was beloved and a familiar figure. to be the beau o r the Catholic church and the successor of St. Peter HP loved the simple life among hi* friends. There wats a great difference* of opinion as to the qualifications of Pope Pius X. for his office. HiB election, a compromise, was particularly pleating to Austria, Germany and France, and in these countries, with the exception of France in recent years, he was highly commended for wisdom and strength. Brought Church and State Together. As to Italy, he increased the cordiat understanding between church and state, which was not thought wise by Italian churchmen. However, his action resulted in an uplifting of the church in *taly. Before Pope Pius had been on the throne three years he evidenced that young men who dreamed of the career of a courtier in Rome were going to be disappointed. The pope wanted bishops for the different eees, and the way for young diplomats to promotion, it was soon apparent, was through the tiresome but wholesome office of governing bishop. Opposed to Woman's Suffrage. Compared with the policies of hie predecessors of recent times, the leaning of Pope Pius X. have been held to be ultra-orthodox in purely ecclesiastical principles and ultra-conservative in temporal relations. An instance of his well-known uncompromising attitude against advanced tendencies was afforded in his opposition to woman suffrage as voiced by the pope upon the occasion of his reception of a delegation of Italian Catholic ladieB. "Woman can never be man's equal," be told his fair visitors, "and cannot, therefore, enjoy equal .rights. Few women would ever desire to legislate, and those who did would be classed as eccentrics. Scripture, and especially the three Epistles of St. Paul, emphasize woman's dependence on man."

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES 4240 So. California Ave., Chicago, 111. —"About a year ago my face was full of pimples and red spota. To sleep one night without Itching was almost Impossible. Some of the -pimples would get big and red and if I touched them they would pain, while others would get white heads on them and when they broke open some matter came out. They would burn and itch and I scratched them so that sometimes they would break and bleed. That always caused them to be worse. "1 bought all kinds of salves and creams and I found out that they did me no good. 1 noticed the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertisement and t^Bent for a free sample.

As a student at*Harvard, Ralph Waldo Emerson did not give much promise of his future greatness. His dissertation was spoken of as "a very good one, but too long to give much pleasure to the hearers." He was class poet, but only after seven others had been successively elected, and had successively declined the honor. A story told by Mr. Arthur Stanwood Pier, in "The Story of Harvard," goes to show that Emerson's musical • efforts were even less appreciated. Singing in the yard was a popular diversion, and early in his freshman year, Emersen, wiBhing to have a share in the fun, wenl-to the singing master, who said to him, "Chord."
