STORSTAD COMES INTO THE HARBOR COLLIER T H A T COLLIDES W I T H EMPRESS OF IRELAND UNDER ARREST. CAPTAIN GIVES HIS STORY Deniea Charges Made By Commander of the Lost Ship—Tried to Locate Empress After Shock But Could Not Do So. Montreal—With her bow crumpled and twisted around at an ascute angle to port, and a gap showing on the port side only a foot or so above the water line, in mute evidence of the tragedy in which she figured, the Norwegian collier Storstad limped into the harbor early Sunday afternoon. A few minutes later a warrant of arrest, taken out by the Canadian Pacific railway, was nailed to her main mast by order of W. Simpson Walker, K. C, registrar of the Quebec admiralty. The officers and men bore traces of their harrowing experiences. When questioned on "the subject of the disaster, they were averse to entering into conversation. Capt. Anderson declined at first to discuss the disaster, declaring he would make a statement later in the evening. Subsequently, a statement based on Capt. Anderson's report, as •well as the reports of other officers, to Messrs. Lange and Griffin, was given out. According to the captain and officers, contrary to what has been stated by the captain of the Empress of Ireland, the Storstad did not back away after the collision, but steamed ahead in an effort to keep her bow In the hole she had dug into the side of the Empress. The Empress, however, according to the Storstad's officers, headed away and bent the Storstad's bow over at an acute angle to port. After that the Empress was hidden from the view of the Storstad and, despite the fact that the Storstad kept her whistle blowing, she could not locate the Empress until the cries of some of the victims in the water were heard. Capt. Anderson absolutely denied he moved a mile or so away from the liner. The Storstad had not moved. It was the Empress which had changed position, he declared. MEETING OF MAIL CARRIERS Officers Elected at Convention at . West Branch. West Branch, Mich.—The tenth annual convention of the Northeastern Rural Carriers' association closed a successful convention here Saturday. There were carriers present from Bay City north to the straits. Nearly three times the number of delegates present at any other convention in its history attended. Otto Hazenbuhier, of Detroit, ex-prosecutor; S. E. Hayes, of Standish, and Judge Sharpe, of West Branch, were speakers. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, A. D. Hammond, Turner; vice-president, Prank Carroll, Omer; secretarytreasurer, M. F. Parker, Standish. Delegates elected to state convention at Detroit: M. F. Parker, Standish; Charles Jones, Sterling and A. W. Colby, of Tawas City. Famous Old Indian Dead. Marshall, Mich.—With the death of old Chief Phineas Pamptopee, the remnant of the Pottawatomie Indians on the reservation in Athens loses one of its most picturesque figures. Tough 77 years old, to the last he retained his proud^erect bearing and the long hair and earrings of his earlier days. An aristocrat among his people, he had long acted as their chief counselor, and while he was friendly with his white neighbors he did not mingle with them, preferring the companion* ship of his own race.

It is sometimes Baid that if we could arrive at the secret of the firefly—or of the other organisms which produce physiologic light—we Bhould have reached a great economic discovery, because the light has such an extraordinary high efflciencv^-in other words, all the energy expended in producing it goes to make\light, and not heat. The efficiency has been estimated at 96 per cent by Ives and Coblentz, and even higher by Langley and Very. This is the more remarkable when it is considered that the best artificial llluminant has a luminous efficiency of only 4 per cent, and most of them reach only about l per cent, the remaining 99 per cent of the energy going to produce heat or other subordinate effects. But even if we should discover the means by which the firefly produces its light we should scarcely care to use it in our homes. Professor McDermott in a recent study of the subject observes that while the Insect has indeed reached the highest possible radiant efficiency it has only accomplished it at a sacrifice of color that makes the light much worse than the mercury vapor arc. Anything not within a very limited range of yellow and green tones would appear black. Much-Needed Invention. Mrs. Bacon — The old-fashioned feather duster and the vacuum cleaner have been combined by a Pennsylvania inventor for removing dust from small articles. Mrs. Egbert—I hope now some one. will get busy and invent something that will pick up the pieces and glue 'em together. Political Prudence. "You'll have some explaining to do when you get home, won't you?" "No," replied the member of congresB. "I'm not going to explain. I'm going to let my constituents argue matters out among themselves and then take the side that seems to have the most advocates." Belgian King a Great Smoker. King Albert of Belgium, who is an ardent lover of tobacco, is an honorary member of a Mozen different Belgian pipe smokers' club. Next month a great pipe-smoking tournament will open simultaneously in Brussels, at Antwerp, at Ghent and at Liege. Prizes, including a magnificent meerschaum pipe, offered by the king, will be competed for, the winners being those who smoke the greatest number of pipeB in a given time. Paticipation in the contest is subject to one condition—that the tobacco Bmoked shall be of purely Belgian origin. It must have been grown either in Belgium proper or in the Belgian Congo. Punishment Fit for the Crime. Styles—You say they hazed your boy at college? Myles—I should Bay so! Why, thdy got him in a poker game and skinned him alive! Tough on the Bears, Some time ago Walter Shaw, known as one of Gardiner's moBt persistent wags, wrote a letter to the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It was deplorable, he said, the way the government men in charge of the Yellowstone park treated the wild animals. Their cruelty was absolutely barbaric. JUst to cite one instance, he said, these scoundrels did not give the poor bears anything to eat during the entire winter, when the whole park is blanketed with snow. The society immediately started an Investigation, beginning at the office of the secretary of the interior. Such cruelty must be stopped. It pressed its investigation until some friendly naturalist told them that bears hibernate all winter. Wrong Guess. Bill—And so you proposed to her? Jill—Yes. "Was her answer in two or three letters?" "Three." "Good. Then it was 'yes.'" "You're wrong; it was 'nix.'" And most of our tragedies look like comedies to our neighbors. OF COURSE HE GOT AWAY Young Man Pulled Off Something Really New, and His Reward Was Adequate. "Please, Mr. Jones, can I get off Tuesday?" said the young male employe, only more rapidly. "Which of your relatives is dead?" inquired the boss. "Not any, sir," replied the lad with a politeness which exists only in fiction. "Which of your teeth are you going to have pulled?" "Not any, sir," replied the lad, etc. "Which of your sisters is getting married?" "Not any, Bir," etc. "The fact is," continued the youth, "I would like to go to the ball game, and, my desire being genuine, I would not hazard any chances by trying to pull a rotten old excuse on a foxy business man. Thank you, Bir." Earliest Arc Lights. A recent historical exhibit of arc lamps and electricity in Cleveland, 0., has brought out a bit of Interesting history in connection with the pioneer arc lamp system built by C. M. Brush. The first demonstration of these lamps was made in the public square Cleveland during the summer of 1876, and afterward in the fall of the same year the aparatus was set up at the centennial exposition at Philadelphia. The exhibit at Cleveland was extensively advertised in the newspapers, and on the evening the demonstration took place thousands of people assembled, most of whom carried pieces of smoked or colored glass to protect their eyes from the arc lamp's rays, which were expected to rival those of the sun.—Electrical World. Paying Him a Compliment. T heard a woman flattering you yesterday, dear." "Is that so? What did she say?" "She was telling another woman that I married you for your money." When a young man mixes rye with his wild oats he gets a crop! Terrible to Contemplate. A distinguished member of the English bar was once sojourning at a farm in the West of Scotland. One morning the farmer asked him to go out and have a shot or two at the rabbits, which were very plentiful. The learned lawyer went, and he blazed away for "a whole afternoon, but without singeing the hair of a rabbit. The farmer and the would-be sportsman returned home, the former silent and disappointed. At laBt an idea struck him. "54,. g 1" he exclaimed, clapping his companion on the back, "supposing ane o'thae rabbits had turned on ye, what wud ye hae dune?" * Rather Personal. One day two farm laborers were discussing the wlseness of the present generation. Said the first: "We are wiser than our fathers was, and they were wiser than their fathers was." The second one, after pondering a while and gazing at hiB companion, replied: "Well, Garge, what a fule thy grandfather must a' been." Little Danger. "Do you believe that money haa germs on it?" "It may have." "What in the world shall we do?" "Don't . worry; It would take a mighty active germ to hop from the money to you during the short time you keep what you get." Mistaken Raid. "They fooled some cops the other evening at a tango dance contest" "How did they fool 'em?" "Told 'em they had better raid the hall as a lot of dips were getting In their work." Perhaps King David revlBed hit statement that all men were liars after discovering a man who never went fishing. There's some room at the top of the greased pole.

Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. Terre Hill, Pa,—"Kindly penxiit me to give you my testimonial in favor of Lydia E. Pinkham's V e g e t a b l e Corapound. When I first began taking it I was.(offering from female troubles for some time and had almost all kinds of aches—pains in lower part of back and in sides, and pressing down pains. I could not sleep and Since I have taken Vegetable Comrofflwn r - * ' ? « had no appetite. l^ydia E. Pinkham'a pound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman. I cannot praise your medicine too highly.' '—Mrs. AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre HfH, Pa. It is true that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the r o o t s and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which baa proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever compounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound is r e c o g n i z e d from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seeking health—many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E.

One could hardly fancy an England without the Thames. It is the source, the Inspiration, the participant, in so much that distinguishes England's sylvan beauty. In the centuries that have lived upon Its banks it has been a potent factor in the civilization of this island kingdom. It cuts In twain and laves the burliest city in ail the world, a dark mass of human structure impenetrably profound. It rides a vast commerce from London to the sea, and along its jutting wharves nights are often made darker with Its tragedies. Years agone kings and princes and the fairest women in the land rode upon lta tide in functions of state or in the idle pose of pleasure. Those were the days of the garlanded barge or the hooded galley foist, which, gilding stealthily beneath the Tower portcullis, lost another noble to the world of politics and intrigue.— From "In Thamesland."

Just one poem was written by Clement Clarke Moore, whose grave is in Trinity churchyard, at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street Washington heights. '"Twas the Night Before Christmas" lives because it touches now and has always touched human hearts. It was put into an autograph album in 1822 and published a couple of years later without the consent of the author, who was professor of Greek and Hebrew at Columbia college and did not think it comported with his dignity to write children's verse. Dr'. Moore died In 1803 at the ripe age of eighty-four. His fame as a scholar is lost. His fame as the author of that one real poem will live while the English language is spoken and read anywhere on earth.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Rimouski, Que., May 30.—Nine hundred and thirty-four persons lost their Uvea when the great Canadian Pacific twin screw liner Empress of Ireland was rammed amidships in a thick fog Off Father Point In the St. Lawrence and sunk by the Norwegian collier Storatad. Four hundred and three survivors ware picked up from floating wreckage and two lifeboats. And only 18 of the saved are woman. Gathered piecemeal from survivors the horror of this wreck grows with the telling. The doomed ones had little time even to pray. They were engulfed by the onrushlng waters that swallowed the big ship inside of 19 minutes from the time she was struck. The wirelesB operators on the Empress, sticking to their posts to the last, had time only to send a few "S. O. 8." calls for help when the rising waters silence their instruments. That silence told the rescuers miles away more potently than a bugle that doom had overtaken the ship. Only six* hours before this fateful collision the passengers sang as a goodnight hymn "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," played by the Salvation army band on board. The members of that band and most of the 165 Salvationists wore among the loBt. 8urv!vora Tell of Fog. It waB foggy, according to survivors, when the Empress of Ireland, a steelhulled, steel-bulkheaded ship of more than 8,000 tons, left Montreal at 4:30 in the afternoon in command of H. G. Kendall of the Royal Naval reserve, one of the most skilled of transatlantic navigators. Forest fires also obscured the atmosphere and the big ship in charge of a pilot, proceeded slowly on her way to sea. At midnight the pilot aid left near Father Point, shouting a merry "Bon Voyage" as he went down their ladder to his waiting boat. The darkness at this time was intense and the ship under the slowest speed possible with steerageway held her course. Her decks were deserted. The passengers had all sought their berths with no thought of impending death. Out of the darkness, on the port side, soon after 2:30 in the morning there loomed the little Norwegian collier, not half the size of the Empress, but fated to be her destroyer. Not until the collier was almost abeam of the big liner was the danger known on either ship. The fog had blotted out the lights as well as the port and starboard lights of both ships. Quick orders trumpeted on both vessels were heard. But they came all too late. 8tHkee 8hlp Amldthlp. The steel-pointed prow of the Stor- •tad struck the liner amidships and then forged aft, ripping and tearing Its way through the Empress of Ireland. Clear to the stern of the Empress of Ireland was this great steel shaving cut from her side, from the top of the hull far below the water line. Into that rant the water poured with force of a Niagara. The bow of the Storatad smashed Its way through berths on that side of the ship, killing passengers sleeping in their berths and grinding bodies to pieces. Reaching the stern of the big liner, the Storatad staggered off In the darkness, her bow crumpled by the Impact Her commander was ready a few minutes later, when he found his ship would float, to aid the crippled and sinking Empress, but he was too late to save the majority of those on board. Carried to Bottom. The Empress of Ireland recoiled almost on her starboard beam ends from the blow, of the collier and passengers were flung from their berths against the wall! of their staterooms. Many were stunned and before they had time to recover were carried to the bottom with the ship. The rait torrents pouring into the great gash on the port side, aft, filled the corridors and flooded every stateroom abaft the midship section Inside ©{four minutes. There wat never a chance for the helpless one* In the after cabins and stateroom of *$k* ilner. With her port ..aide laid open far half Its length from ^sd'inldahto sejetton to the stern, a set** had mere*•*•*<*• to float than t i e Hn^neai nr Ireland, and the trapped passengers In that after seei ttssi were doesned from the moment tha storatad struck. - Jftoeiing from the blow the ship began to settle almoBt Immediately as the water rushed into the big rent. From the forward cabin, however, men and women in night attire stumbled along the corridors and up the companion way to the promenade deck—the deck below, the one on which the boats rested. S w i m to Deck. Up they swarmed on deck in their night clothing to find the ship heeling away to port and the deck slanting at a degree that made it almost impossible to stand even clinging to railings. Men and women, shrieking, praying, crying for aid that was fated to arrive too late, fell over one another in that last struggle for life on board the doomed Empress of Ireland. Frenzied mothers leaped overboard with their babies in their arms. Others knelt on deck and tried to pray in the few moments left to them. Some were flung overboard by the heeling of the sinking ship and some broke their legs or arms In trying to reach the lifeboats. Above the din of the struggle on the great promenade deck could be heard Captain Kendal] shouttng commands for the launching of the lifeboats. Several were launched in the 19 minutes that the ship floated. There was no time to observe the rule "Women first" in this disaster, for those nearest the boats scrambled to places in them. But even as they were being launched, while the wireless still was calling "S. O. S." there came a terriflo explosion that almost rent the ship In twain. Ship's Boilers Explode. It was the explosion of the boilers struck by the cold water. A geyser of water shot upward from the midship section, mingled with fragments of wreckage, that showered down upon the passengers still clinging to the rails forward and upon those struggling in the water. The explosion destroyed the last hope of tfle ship's floating until succor could arrive, for the shock had smashed the forward steel bulkhead walls that had up to then shut out the torrents invading the after part. The water rushed forward and the Empress of Ireland went swiftly to her doom, carrying down with her hundreds of passengers who stood on her slanting deck, their arms Btretched upward and their last cries choked In the engulfing waters. Intense darkness covered the waters when the Empress of Ireland made that final plunge, but the fog lifted a few minutes later and then came the first faint streaks of dawn. It lighted waters strewed with wreckage and struggling passengers, who strove to keep afloat The crippled Storstad, which had wrought this tragedy of the waters, had lifeboats out picking up as many survivors as possible. The gray dawn revealed the government steamers Lady Evelyn and Eureka near the scene of the disaster and hastening to aid. Some of those in the water trlde to swim to the Eureka as she neared the point where the Empress had gone down. One woman, wearing only an undervest, swam to the Lady Evelyn, and was helped on board, but died of exhaustion soon afterwards. The Work of Rescue. The work of rescue still was going on when the sun arose in a cloudless sky. Men and women were clinging to spars and bits of broken planks. Many of the survivors were injured. Some had broken legs, others fractured arms, and still others had been injured internally In that last mad rush to get away from the sinking liner. Women clinging with one hand to little ones, while with the other they tried to keep clutch* on pieces of wreckage, were picked up by the lifeboats and carried on board the rescuing vessels. Captain Kendall, dated and unable to give any coherent account of the loss of his ship, was found clinging to a broken spar. The Empress of Ireland was a twin screw steamer of 8,208 tons burden. She waa 458 fast long and equipp with modern apparatus not only for wireless work but for submarine signalling. The liner was built in 1906 and three years later set a record on a run from Quebec to Liverpool. The steamer was one of the most popular vessels in the servJoe of the Canadian Pacific railway and always carried a large number of passengers, She has plied for several years between S t John and Quebec and Liverpool.

AGRICULTURE TO BE TAUGHT Forty Michigan High Schools W i l l Have Courses by Specially Trained Teachers in Farming. f>. $ /? ti f. ft /,«• JllJlansVritti^ Everybodysj)mk East Lansing, Mich.--When the school year opens next September, about 40 high schools in Michigan will offer regular courses in agriculture, taught by specially trained teachers. This number includes 10 schools which will take up the new work for the first time. According to Prof. W. H. French, of M. A. C, progress in the agricultural work among the high schools has been most encouraging, considering the fact that it has been accomplished without state aid or state bonus of any kind. This extension, it is said, has been brought about solely through the interest of school superintendents, farmers and others. The introduction of agriculture as a subject of study into high school courses was begun in the fall of 1908, with one high school experimenting as to the development of the course of study, its scope, arrangement as related to other high school work and probable aims for future development. The result of the experiment was very satisfactory, and the development of agriculture In the public high schools has become a part of the extension service of the agricultural college. \7igorousIy good— and keenly delicious.

President WilBon is the first "barefaced" occupant of the White House since President McKinley. Indeed, these have been the only smoothfaced presidents since the Civil war. The faces of the most conspicuous members of the cabinet are whiskerlesB, as is the mobile countenance of the speaker of the house. The sensible fashion Is especially noticeable In the medical profession, owing to the fact that formerly its members regarded whiskers as an indispensable part of their equipment, on a par with the stethoscope and clinical thermometer and odor of carbolic acid. The idea then was, of course, to look old. Now they try to appear young. Other business and professional men are following the example of the doctors, much to the gratification of the barbers and razor manufacturers.

Daniel Blade suddenly advances from a Penniless miner to a millionaire and becomes a power in the political and business world. He has his eye on the fovernor's chair. Hia simple, home-loving wife falls to rise to the new conditions. Blade meets Katherlne, daughter of Senator Strickland, and seeB in her all that Mary is not. Wesley Merrltt, editor of a local f*aper. threatens to light Blade through he columns of his paper and Blade defies him. CHAPTER III—Continued. Suddenly Blade's eyes lighted with the fire of decision. His mouth became a firm, straight line of determination. There was something implacable and grim in his very attitude as the resolve to win Katherlne Strickland became fixed in his mind. He longed to hurry after her—to tell her of his decision to fight, if not with, then for her. He was eager to show her Just how much they two together could make out of life, a big, fine fight for position and power. Even the thought of being governor was left in the distance as plan after plan raced through his mind, of greater conquests and bigger achievements, possible only with a woman like Katherlne Strickland for his wife. So abeorbed and Intense were his thoughts of the future with her for the moment he forgot completely the woman who for 30 years had kept her place as his wife. In all his dealings he had never considered obstacles, except to sweep them from his path. Ae he remembered the present and Mary, he never hesitated or faltered from his newly made resolution. Mary could go it alone. He would see that she had everything that money could buy. He would make her comfortable and take care of her. That she should be further considered never entered his mind. Always ruthless in his methods, he was equally cruel even when the obstacle to his advancement was a fragile little woman who had given him the best of her love and years and who would gladly have laid down her life to save his. It was not as if a sudden flame of Intensive, overwhelming love for Katherlne Strickland had surged through his heart. It was nothing ae decent or as fine or as blameless as that His whole attitude toward the girl was one of cold-blooded acquisition. He had determined to have her Just as he had determined only last week to out- aevery other man at the rug auo- . He wanted her to take a place i s life because he knew what her e would be to him. He wanted her -fceiruty, her brain, her savoir falre, as so many stepping stones by which to mount higher and higher in the affairs of the state and the nation. In spite of the fact that he criticized his wife's lack of social graces, he was wise enough to know that he was far from a finished product himself. In spite of himself, traces of the parvenu occasionally showed through the veneer of bluff and arrogance. With a wife like Katherlne he would soon come to know all the fine points of the social game. A wife like Katherlne would cover up a multitude of his little sins of commission and omission. or his arms or any other very essential part of his being. It was at juet this point In Slade's pitiless reasoning that Mary, peering over the baluster and seeing him alone, hurried down the stairs. "Thank goodness, they've gone," she declared as she came into the room. Then seeing the numerous side lights burning she hastened to turn one after the other down to a glimmer. "I'm so glad you're not going out," she went on, cpmlng over to him and rubbing her cheek against his sleeve. The little movement was a pathetically mute appeal for some caress. "What'd they say?" she asked, suddenly, as she realized that her tender)yearning met with no response. But her husband was In no communicative frame of mind. "You're not mad with me, are yer?" she questioned, wistfully, very much like an eager child who has been repressed. "No," Slade replied, briefly and without much interest Mary breathed a quick sigh of relief. "Ah, then, we'll have a nice, quiet, pleasant evening," she declared, adding coaxingly: "Let's go upBtalrsand have a game of euchre. We haven't played for ever so long." Slade looked at her, his eyes drawn into a deep frown. It was true he wasn't angry with her, but he was " » c .'• CHAPTER IV. - Blade wanted Katherlne Strickland for his wife much the same as he would have desired a wealthy, clever, 'Influential man for a partner. It was to be a union of ambition. There was no tenderness in his thoughts of her. He was actuated purely and simply by the lust for power and the greed of glory. All the softer, better things in the man's nature were swamped by this torrent of craving for worldly success that was sweeping him on to commit the most dastardly act in his long career of trampling over the heads and hearts of adversaries and opponents. Even when hs was a boy Dan Slade had always set hia teeth at "You can't do it," or I t can't be done." The very difficulty of a thing strengthened his determination to do. All his life long his success had been punctuated by the ruin of other men. He -had not advanced so far without pushing other men back. Now that a woman instead of a man stood in the way, the result was the same. His methods might ha Quieter, mope merciful, hat the answer would be t^e same. Marys sterling worth, her long years of devotion and •Wsjsi tenderness counted for nothing onew be became convinced that Marys d^dineswrhst standpet notfoy a s * her arrested development were stop-gaps tin bis own opportunity for progression. He ignored the fact that the lit. tie browu<«yudr patient woman was as. ajao* * part o{ bin a* ware bit eyes "8uch Didoes; You Kiss Me." angry at the thwarting circumstances that were hemming him In. Her very manner Irritated him now—her quiet contentment her calm acceptance of her failure to meet hie guests and fill her place as mistress of his home maddened him. He was all the more determined to fight for something else— to begin his campaign for a governorship and another woman that moment. "You can amuse yourself after I'm gone," he answered over his shoulder. "Then you are going out?" Mary's voice echoed the disappointment she felt. "Yes." Slade continued to be monosyllabic. "But I want to have a talk with you. Mary—we've go^ to come to some understanding." "Why, what—T" Mary began, and then.stopped. For the first time she noticed, his changed manner and his averted eyes. She started to fumble with her workbasket "I can't put it off any longer. I—* er—" Slade stopped short He was finding this attempt at an "understanding" much more difficult than he ban anticipated. "What is it you're trying to say,' Dan?" Mary's voice was firmer than his. "What's In your mind? You keep hinting at something lately and you never finish i t What is it?" "You're a rich woman in your own name* Mary. Are you satisfied with what I've settled on yon?" "Why, yes," came the quick response, aa Mary's puuled eyes searched hia for a reason for the strange Question. Then she added: "You've been mighty good to me, Dan." "How would you like to go and live in the country* Mary?" Glad surprise tiled the woman's eyes. Her tain cheeks flushed aa aba clasped her bands excitedly. M "Oh, Dan, you know I'd like i t You're awfully good, father. I knew you'd back down and give In. This Is no place for us." "You leave me out of the Question. And to bis credit* shamefacad* "I can't leave you out of the question," she protested quickly, not an inkling or her husband's real meaning having entered her head. In her perfect love and loyalty she was impervious to aay hint of neglect or disloyalty from him. Had she known his thoughts her first care would have been to soothe him us one whose brain, overtaxed with affairs beyond her understanding, had suddenly clouded. For an Instant the man was silent. His face was turned from here and he was looking out the doorway through which the stately figure of Katherlne Strickland had just pasted and through which he hoped to walk some day— governor. "I—I—wouldn't go with you, Mary," he finally turned and looked her squarely in the eyes. "Why—where would you be? Where would you live? Where would you?" She stopped and then finished. "Pshaw. That's all foolishness, Dan." "Mary.'' Slade was firmer now. His voice hr.d a ring of finality, but Mary didn't understand. "I can't go on apol ogizing for you eternally! You can't have a.headache every night! I must either have a wife who can be the head of my household or none." Into the woman's heart there leaped a sharp fear, followed by the childish idea that perhaps, because she wouldn't go to the opera, she was to be punished— sent away alone—until she was forgiven. "You're tired of me," she suggested. "If that were true and you filled the bill, we could put up with each other," he returned brutally, "but it isn't so." "Don't you love me?" she half breathed the question timidly. For a brief instant something caught at Slade's heart and tugged and tugged. He turned with a look of infinite tenderness and said, simply: "Yes, Mary, I do." His tone was genuine and sincere. Mary laughed a little, happy laugh. At the sound Slade's mood changed like a flash. It grated on his already overwrought nerves. It seemed to dismiss the controversy, to end the argument, to ring the death-knell of the dream that had come to him. The careless way In which she apparently dropped the discussion of going away nettled him. Prompted by a Budden impulse, he snatched her workbasket from her lap and flung it the full length of the room. "D—n that basket!" he exclaimed. "Can't I ever see you without it?" "Dan!" Mary's gasp of amazement was the only sound in the room. It was the first time heuhad ever been harsh with her. She shrank back hurt and frightened. "Why, good Lord, Dan, you never did that before." Then, with quiet dignity, she began to pick up the basket, the hated darning cotton, the needles and scissors, and the little worn thimble. Slade, watching her slight, stooping figure, ought to have been ashamed, but hie anger was flaming hot and he didn't as much as offer to help. Mary's mood changed, too. "I believe you're doing it to get your own way," she sputtered, "but you ain't going to get it. I've got as much right to my life as you've got to yours." As she came up to him, he stood grim and silent, suddenly determined that If she wouldn't go he would. If she refused his offer of a home in the country, then she could have this great house to herself and he would live at the club. "There ain't anything you could ask of me I wouldn't do—except—" Mary's troubled face was looking Into his. "Except what I ask," he finished, sarcastically, and hurried from the room, curtly ordered his dressing bag packed and then, hat in hand, hie overcoat on his arm, came back into the room. "Did it ever occur to you, Mary, that you're a mule?" he asked. "You're sweet and good tempered and amiable but .you'd have given the mule that came out of Noah's ark points on how to be stubborn." "How often have I failed you in these years, Dan?" "You're failing me now. You won't look at things with my eyes." "We're not one person, we're two, Dan," she reminded him, quietly. "Well, that's the trouble, we ought to be one. That's Just what I'm getting at. We ought to be of one mind." "Whose? Yours?" and Mary's sweet mouth puckered Into a very little smile. "I'm done," Slade decided, hopelessly. "I can remember the time when you would have thought that was cunning," she reproached him. "I'm going to my club, Mary," he announced, disregarding her playful attempt to smooth things over. Mary gased at him, bewildered by his swift changes of mood, hurt by his attitude, almost angry because he was so unreasonable. Then love came rushing up into her heart After all be was her Dan. What did this crossness or bis nervousness matter? Me went up to h i a , pulled bis scarf a bit closer round bis throat and aa he turned _a way with a muttered word, waited patiently. Thau, laying bar hand on his arm—such a thin little band, with his wedding ring hanging loosely on it—asked: "flbaU I wait up tor y o u r sJtade's ~4nea worked convulsively. She didn't understand, poor little soul. lie was going away for good, for all 'Jme, and she was asking if she would wait up for him. More than once before she had asked that question of him, the question that from a wife's ilps, carrier with it unspoken, tender pleading. For a space he was torn with emotions he could not define, had hardly expected himself to feel. Something bade him turn back upon ambition and pride and clasp into his arms rhia little woman who had worked for him, with him, who had had faith in him when he was poor, and who had struggled and cooked and Blaved for him that he might rise to his present position. Cut he struggled against the feeling, fought it back and conquered. "No, don't wait up for me." "All right," Mary agreed. "I won't. If you don't want me to," and then, with a roguish smile, "but I will wait up for you all the same." Slade was touched, but he stiffened his shoulders. Wealth he had won, honors he meant to have—and Katherlne Stricklaud. "Good-night, Mary," he called, coldly, as he hurried out of the room. Left alone, Mary stood watching him, a forlorn little figure. "Why, he didn't kiss me." She hurried to the door. "Dan, you forgot something, Dan!" Slade, hastening to the door, halted, hesitated, turned back. "You come right back here and kiss me," Mary demanded, affectionately. "Such didoes; You kiss me." She raised her face for the kiss she thought was "good-night" and which he meant as "good-by." Slade stooped and laid his lips on hers, gently, reverently, then hurried out, almost as if he were afraid to stay a minute longer. "Such didoes," Mary laughed to herself. She looked around the great empty room. It suddenly struck her that she had never really been happy In this room. Rlchee had proved a burden rather than a pleasure. They had robbed her of Dan's devotion, his confidence, his gaiety. She hastened to turn out the lights, shuddering as she did so. She grabbed her workbasket from the table and suddenly overcome with fright in the great silent shadowy room, fled to the lighted hall, calling: "Susie, Susie—" (TO BE CONTINUED.) FROM DOCTRINE OF^GALEN Use of Term "Man of 8plrlt," Etc., May Be Traced Back to the Second Century. "Few persons even stop to consider when they speak of 'a man of spirit' that they are unwittingly employing the language of the days of Galen." says the Journal of the American Medical association. "Yet this is evidently the survival of the old doctrine of spirits. We may believe that Galen had a conception of the nerve trunks as conductors of something—he called it spirits—to and from the brain and spinal cord. "The natural spirits were that undefined property which gave to blood the capacity of nourishing the tissues of the body. The vital spirits were acquired in the heart, and when at last the blood with its vital spirits went to the brain apd experienced a sort of refinement for the last time, the animal spirits were separated from it and carried to tho body by the nerve trunks." Such was the idea of the vital functions in the second century. Today, after 1,800 years, we know that there are no "spirits" in our blood or nerves, but we still speak of being in "high spirits" or "low spirits," of being full of "animal spirits," of a "spirited answer" or a "spirited horse." Applied Advice. Some time ago an Alabama lady kindly undertook to advise one of her negro maids as to certain rules of propriety that always should be observed by young women to whom attentions are paid by gentlemen friends. One evening the lady, wondering whether her seeds of advice had fallen upon rocky ground, stationed herself In a rocker near the kitchen door, where she was entertained by the following dialogue: "Look here, don't you try to git fresh wif me! Mah name's Miss Smith—not Mary. Ah don't 'low mah best an' most pa'tie'lar friends to call me Mary." "Ah beg your pahdon, Miss Smith. But say. Miss Smith, would yo' jes's soon shift to de Oder knee?

Jerome S. McWade, the wealthy Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent dinner: "I Bpent the winter on the Riviera. The winter fashions were really Bhocking—shocking, that is to Cornstock minds. Nothing shocks me. "But in the evening at the Nice Country club dances young girls would wear sleeveless gowns that left „the back quite bare from the waist up. They could say truly—ha, ha, ha! —that they hadn't a stitch on their backs, eh? And in the afternoon at the dansaatB young girls would wear gowns that were either slashed to the knee, or else that were—a still subtler device—transparent to the knees, permitting the slim and silken limb to gleam through a panel of lace or tulle. "A western millionaire at the Negresco, in Nice, on seeing his three daughters in gowns of this radical type, gave a loud laugh one day last winter and said: "By jingo, girls, what will you leave off when the hot weather comes?"— New York Tribune.

A young woman out in la. found a wise, good friend in her mother-in-law, jokes notwithstanding. She writes: "I was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to He down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd Quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me It was easy to make good 'coffee' when you use Postum. "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully. "My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee. She then took tea but that was just as bad. "She-fmally was induced to try Postum which she has used for over a year.

The railroad was tbirty-nlx miles long, extending across the Allegheny mountains from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown. There were ten inclined planes, five on each side of the mountains. Engines ut the top of each plane pulled up four cars at a time. The ascent on the east side measured 1398 feet. Then there was a tunnel of 870 feet und a descent of 1,172 feet on the western side. Passengers on canal boats entered the cars at Hollidays burg and were carried over the mountains, embarking in other boats on the western side and thus continuing their Journey to Pittsburgh. Later boats were built so that they could be taken apart into three or four sections and placed on a car for the trip over the mountains. The construction of the Portage railroad cost $1,500,000.-Philadelphia Record. Sorting Bottles by Touch. One of London's queer trades Is that of empty bottle sorting at the London bottle exchange, off Black friars road. These bottles have been salvaged from dust bins, cellars, the holds of ships and wherever bottles go astray. Every year at least 2,000.000 bottles, after many wanderings, find their way to the bottle exchange. They are sorted and returned to their rightful owners, who pay an annual subscription as well as a few shillings a gross for returned bottles. Reared on the bottle, as It were, a sorter at the exchange must be a man of keen eye and delicate touch. AH that he has to guide him in thousands of cases is the embossed name on the glass* and swiftly. Unerringly and with almost uncanny deftness he picks out a bottle which has wandered from Glasgow and puts It in the case bound for the north.— New York Sun. ; Sixteenth Century Be if Pye.

English Greetings. Erasmus, coming to England in Henry Vila's time, was struck with the deep heartiness of our wishes—good, aye, and bad, too. but he most admired the good ones. Other nations ask in their greetings how a man carries hlnjself, or how doth he stand with the world, or bow doth he find himself. But the English greet with a pious wish that God may give one a good morning or a good evening, good day or "god'e'en," as the old writers have it, and when we part we wish that '•God may be with you," though we now clip it Into "Goodby."—Friswell.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michiganj Thursday, May 28, 1914 No. 22 FOR BETTER ROADS Big Road Bee on for June 4-5 Business M e n A g r e e t o Close S t o r e s a n d E v e r y b o d y G o . F a r m e r s A s k e d t o F u r - n i s h T e a m s The business men of Pinckney "have cajaght the good loads fever. The attack seems to be quite acute and is "taking" pretty generally throughout t h e village a n d towiuhip. Both days will of course be observed, but Highway Commissioner, James Smith, is making great preparations for Thursday," June 4th, and has already secured a number of teams and scren for that day. Mr. Smith will Wfo charge of the "Bee" and respectfully requests all those who can to be on hand with teams and shovels at these certified places where Mr. Smith has appointed the following gentlemen to have charge of the work in their vicinities: Wales Leland, R. G. Webb, Frank Eisle, Alfred Morgau, Geo. Gremer, Wirt Hendee, Frank Tiplady, Patsey Kennedy. Mr. Smith will have charge of the work on the Dexter road south of town. Those who now reside ou good rolf-ls, we know, will only be too glad to assist those living on the poor roads. m:: ...Sti> W State Highway Commissioner, Frank B\ Rogers, issues the^lollowing timely letter concerning "Road Bee Days." fWTS Don't try to do too much. Don't start more than you can finish. You canuot'build a macadam road, nor very long stretches of gravel road in tWQ days. Don't plow up long stretches of road and leave them impassible. Don't scrape sods unto the traveled roadway and leave them for passing vehicles to smooth down. • WHAT MAY BE DONE You can remove logs, rocks, •tumps and stones from the roadway; fill holes, preferably with good earth; cover stretches of sand with clay or gravel; drain wet places in the roadway; scrape off and outwards sod margins where they hold the water iu the traveled track. When drained and graded, clay may be covered with eaad or gravel, but the gravel should not contain any clay unless it is to be placed on sand. Culttrts may be repaired or new cul- ' "to put in. making a grand total of $6,758,710 which was. raised by direct taxation and expended on the ru*al highways. Added to this, many townships and counties raised money by bonding and many public spirited citizens gave freely in money and labor, so th^tis a low estimate to say that at les*t seven millions of dollars were expended on Michigan's roa,d during the past year. "While tbis has resulted in the building of more miles of excellent highways than were ever before built in a single year, there is still much to be desired. The people want more good roads and want all of the roads cared for better than they have been in the past. "Last year on June 9 the Huron Shore Road association observed the first 'Road Bee Day' ever held in this state. I t was a success, wet pieces of road were drained; logs, roots, stumps and stones were removed from the highways; bad stretches of clay were sanded; bad pieces of eand were clayed; gravel was haulnd; road drags were set to work and altogether so much enthusiasm was aroused that many farmers put in a full week instead of one day, By this concerted effort some 220 miles of highway in eastern Michigan, which in some places was very bad, was made into a very passable road. "At the request of the Michigan Good Roarls asaociation, the Huron Shore Roads association, and to the euil that this good work may extend over the state and all the people, receive the benefit, I Woodbridge N. Ferris, do ask that the people of the state of Michigan set apart Thursday and Friday, June 4 and 5, 1914, as 'Road Bee Day,' and as far as possible turn out and work under well planned and competent supervision on the highways of this state in such manner as shall make them more fit, safe and pleasant for public .travel." v 2& i&-. "Governor Ferris has issued the first "Road 3 e e Day" proclamation ever penned by a Michigan governor. Elated at the success ©f the land building day by the Huron Shore Road association last year, Gov. Ferris has determined to make it a state-wide proposition and in the following proclamation issued today he designates June 4 andfiaa^BoadBee Dayg^ - ., "In 1918 the townships of Michigan raised $4,386,029 for the improvement and repair of highways; 44 counties under the county road system levied county road texee a moaning to $l»ti&l»6Sl and the state appropriated $800,000 Stores Will Close - The undersigned business places of the village of Pinckney have agreed to close their stores from .eight o'clock a. m. until five o'clock p. m. on Thursday, June 4th, for the purpose of assisting, if possible, in observing "Road Bee Days" in Putnam township.

Not Just What Minister Meant. An English minister, who guarded his morning study hour very carefully, told the new maid tbat under no circumstances were callers to be admitted— except, of co/iree, he added, In case of life and death. Half an hour later the maid knocked at his door. "A gentleman to see you, sir.* *• 41 Why, 1 thought I told you—" "Yes, I told him," she replied, "but he says It is a question of life and death."

The bridge cars were jammed, but after a fierce struggle he managed to get seat* for hie charges, and as he stood swaying beside them in the aisle, he mopped the fast trickling perspiration from his brow.

Kali, or potash salts, in natural deposits, was discovered In Alsace in 1904, when deep borings were being made in the hope of striking oil. In 1909 the first kail mining shaft was completed in this district, and the following year 37,000 tons of kali salts were* extracted. Since then other mines have been developed and the work has grown rapidly. Twelve mines are now in operation in this district. Maw Knew a Few Things.

A story Is told on a young man who was married recently to the daughter of a wealthy merchant The bridegroom did not have a cent, but he made up for lack of wealth in honesty. He was so very honest that he would not even prevaricate in the marriage ceremony. He was repeating what the minister read: "With all my worldly goods I, thee endow." "With all thy worldly goods I me endow," repeated the young man. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, still it would be hard for honesty to go much further.—New York Times. DID T H E WORK Grew Strong on Right Food. You c a n t grow strong by merely exercising. You must have food—the kind you can digest and assimilate. Unless the food you eat is digested it adds to the burden the digestive organs have naturally to carry. This often means a nervous breakdown. "About a year ago," writes a Mass. lady, "I had Quite a serious nervous breakdown caused, as I believed, by overwork and worry. X also suffered untold misery from dyspepsia. "first I gave up my position, then I tried to find a remedy for my troubles, something that would make me well and strong, something to rest my tired stomach and build up my worn-out nerves and brain.

NOTE PLEASING TO WILSON >> Rebels Willing to Hear and Consider Peace Proposals Decided on at Conference in Session at Niagara Falls'. Washington — President Wilson learned from General Carranza Sunday that the constitutionalists have finally decided not to send any representative, formal or informal, to the Niagara Falls conferences, but will be willing to consider any solution of the Mexican problem that may be reached there. This message from Carranza was a reply to what amounted to an ultimatum sent to him after Saturday night's conference of the mediators and the American and Huerta_jdelegates in Niagara Falls, urging him to cease hostilities and to become a party to the peace negotiations. The fact that such a message was sent to Carranza became known here early Sunday. Although the full contents of Carranza's message were not made public, it is evident that he has agreed to some change of attitude that is most satisfactory to President Wilson.

They itcbed and burned terribly; I couldn't touch my face it burned so. It disfigured my face terribly and I couldn't be seen for everyone waB afraid of it. It looked like a disease of some kind; it was all red and a heavy white crust on it. Everybody kept out of my way, afraid It would spread.

TEN MILLIONS ARE NEEDED Street Railway Commission Announce Plant for System That Will Serve Two-Thirds of Population. Detroit—Three subways, one under Woodward avenue from Jefferson to Milwaukee avenue; one under Michigan avenue west to Junction avenue and the third under Gratiot avenue east to Chene street, coupled with the municipal operation of the Fort line, the workingmen's belt line and the Baker line on Chene street and Grandy avenue, comprises the plan for a •treet railway system owned and operated by the city. The plan was adopted Thursday by the street railway commission and a resolution was passed that plans for the subways be prepared at once. On completion of the Woodward avenue subway to Milwaukee avenue, the railway commissioners plan to take over the surface lines mentioned, By BO doing they would have a system serving about two-thirds of Detroit. Provision is also to be made for the location and purchase of a power house site. The commission plans to generate municipal power for the use of their tram system. The money fer the subway systems proposed would probably be raised by issue of bonds. U is believed that 110,000,000 will be necessary. It is said the Woodward subway could be constructed at a cost of about $1,000,006 per mile, or nractically $8,000,000 for the entire distance to be covered. TARJEFT IS FOUND GUILTY Jury Decides Cheboygan Man Polaorvned His Father. Cheboygan, Mlch.—"Guilty of murder in the first degree," was the verdict of the jury in the case of Joe Tarjeft, who was charged with poisoning his father, Julius Tarjeft, on March 4. The jury was out but three- Quarters of an hour. Insanity was the plea of Tarjeft's attorneys. Tarjeft took strychnine from his nephew's suit case, put it in three capsules, and placed them In a mail box at his father's home. The father swallowed the capsules thinking them a remedy for backache and died two hours later. Michigan People Petition Senate.

London—Following, the arrest of Mrs. Pankhurst Thursday during the fiercest riot in the history of the militant movement the city was kept in constant excitement for several days.

PA6EANT IS GREAT SUCCESS Seven Thousand Persons Witness "Jean of Arc" Given By University Students. Ann Arbor—Seven thousand persons witnessed the spectacular Joan of Arc pageant, presented Thursday night on Perry field by the Women's League of the University, and so great was the success of the production that hereafter some sort of a pageant will be an annual feature of Michigan activities. It was a wonderful blending of riotous color, quaint dances, quainter music, court and war scenes and the final trial and death at the stake of Joan, the maid of Orleans. Every scene was as nearly correct historically as it were possible to make it, and in the final scene Miss Marjory Nicolson of Detroit, who wrote the scenario, had taken from the records of the trial the exact words of the trial bishop and the seemingly inspired answers of the maid of Orleans. While all the characters were given careful interpretation, the title role, portrayed by Miriam Hubbard, stood out greater in its perfection than any other. BECKER IS FOUND GUILTY Second Trial ef Former Police Officer Results In Conviction. New York—Twelve men decided Friday for the second time that Chas. Becker was the arch conspirator responsible for the Rosenthal slaying which nearly two years ago awoke New York to a realization of corruption in the police department and opened a new era of police reform. Becker,, once a police lieutenant, was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Only a pardon or interference again by the court of appeals can save him from following to the electric chair the four gunmen who shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, early on the morning of July 16, 1912. The jury decided that the gunmen were Becker's agents. Organise For New Interurban.

DUDGEON. >»»oe»0»OO4 »oo » » M » » » 0 » » 0 0 » 0 > (Copyright. 1914, Wealera Newspaper Union.; WHY CO-OPERATION SOMETIMES FAILS Copenhagen, Denmark. — Co-operation la not foolproof, consequently it does not always succeed. Inexperience, incompetence, and dishonesty will wreck any private business and they will, of course, wreck any cooperative business. It is necessary therefore, for enthusiasts to remember that there is no mystic virtue in co-operation which enables it to triumph at all times. Those of us who are trying to record what we have seen of co-operative business at home and in Europe, would not be treating the public fairly if we left the Impression that there are no failures among co-operative enterprises. Both at home and abroad there have been many failures. Certainly those interested are entitled to know as much about its failures as about its successes. They are entitled to know also what causes have led to co-operative failure. Failures In America. Many co-operative stores organised with much promise have failed. Generally speaking gross Incompetence has wrecked them. They are like other mercantile establishments in that they demand, aa a condition precedent to success, skilled management, good business methods, good accounting, cautious extension of credit, as well as some special knowledge of the goods dealt in. If these qualities are absent failure is inevitable. As the average co-operative store in America is organised its members are seldom bound by any agreement to do all their trading at the co-operative concern. They patronize It when it is to their interest so to do. If the goods offered are poor, or if bad management advances the price unduly, or if frequent minor mistakes occur, the members abandon the venture like a sinking ship. As I have said, co-operative stores in order to succeed must have skilled management, good business methods, good accounting systems, and must extend credit cautiously, all In addition to the special knowledge essential in every such enterprise. Bo far as I can discover, however, the stores which have failed have not only lacked one or two of these essentials of success but they seem often to have lacked all of them. More than once it has happened that a co-operative store company is formed because some storekeeper has lost all his money In an unsuccessful mercantile venture and can secure capital for a new venture only in this way. Sometimes an ambitious farmer has organised a company in order that a son who has been away to business college and feels above farming may have a chance to earn a living without working upon the farm. It is characteristic also of co-operative American stores—-and of other co-operative concerns in America also—that they have seldom been willing to pay a salary sufficient to secure men of experience and skill as managers. When a co-operative store managed by a man who has a history of nothing but business failures behind him, or by a youthful and Inexperienced business college graduate, or by any other man of the low grade Implied in the low salaries paid, comes into competition with a competent, up-to-date, American storekeeper of the aggressive vigorous type often found in even the smaller towns, the mere word "cooperative" upon the sign in front of the store is not going to avert failure. It isn't fair to expect too much of cooperation. Co-operative Fruit Failures, Seldom, too, have so-called' American co-operative companies been cooperative- in the true Bense of the word. I have In mind one co-operative fruit marketing society which failed largely because it was organised on the joint stock basis and administered aa are other non-oo-operative corporations. A few of the larger shareholders controlled it. The interests of the minority were ignored. They became Jealous and suspicious and accused those in control of dishonesty. Finally they demanded that the officers give a fall report of all their flnaactaT transactions and tiat an auditing con* mittaa be appointed, Tha offioart fool* tahly and axbttwOy rafaaed 6) aba* cede even an andtt imWaa they thanv selves aeleeted tha comaljktaa. Than applied so that fof t*a fitara they J -Uioto^sjvjt > • • : * This also was denied them. The only course possible seemed to be a separation and the smaller stockholders withdrew, the larger stockholders buying out those who did not care to stay In the concern. While, this society did not fail from a financial standpoint, its record Is of course to be cited as that of a co-operative concern which did not succeed in the best sense of the term. The small shareholders of this society later formed another co-operative society, organizing and administering it, you may be sure, upon a purely co-operative basis, adopting the one man vote plan, and providing that no dividends be declared upon shares but that all the profits go to those who grew the fruit in proportion to the amount furnished to thhe company by each. Greed Causes Another Failure. The experience of a Minnesota cooperative warehouse elevator was sojaewhat different. As originally organized and managed by the farmers it was a success, all the profits were distributed back to the producers as an additional price upon the grain delivered and the farmers loyally supported it. Later, however, the shares of stock became centered in a few business men who were not grain growers. These men held a majority of the stock and were in full control. They began squeesing down the prices to the producer until they were paying him no more than the privately owned elevator companies paid. The trustful farmers continued to deliver their grain for a time and the business men in control received a Jorty per cent dividend. At the end of the year, however, the farmers realized that they were being imposed upon and the next year abandoned the project, and hauled their grain elsewhere. As a result this co-operative effort which had been at first an exceedingly profitable venture became so absolute a failure that it was with difficulty that the shareholders disposed of their building and equipment European Failures. There have been failures In European co-operation also. You cannot talk co-operation in Germany long with anyone familiar with the general situation without having your attention called to the fact that co-operation has received one black eye. Tears ago the government, anxious to aid in the marketing of grain, devoted a considerable amount of money to the erection of elevators or "corn houses," loaning the money to local co-operative concerns whose organization it fostered and supervising the erection in each, case of a rather imposing structure. It would seem that the government generously tempted the promoters to unreasoning extravagance. "How could.you expect our people to calculate closely when they had this heap of. unearned money forced upon them?" one man remarked. Everything was done on a costly scale. The storehouses were too big. They were not carefully located. Into these concerns crept, also a desire to speculate, to corner the grain supply, to do in Germany what Letter was reported to have done in America,—to capture the grain market Everyone persuaded himself, it is said, that he was going to grow rich by appropriating by degrees the wealth thus to be gained. They had heard that there were great corners in the United States, and by buying and storing grain men had made enormous fortunes. There was fo he gold for everyone who wanted it. A careful study df the situation has revealed the absurdity of the situation. Those who controlled the warehouses could not control to exceed one-twentieth of the •npply of grain grown in Germany alone. The general concensus of German opinion seems to hate been that two causes contributed to the failure; first, state aid, which seldom really helps a co-operative society/ ruined these projects by encouraging tba construction c* warehousas;which were,either. not naaded or which ware bigger thai needed; aeoond, the members sonant to make money ontof them instead of aaing them ajmply to_*rara* in aldpping.

They were loo anxiou* to get rich quick. By a promise of exceedingly high rates of Interest they attracted patrons from the most re* mote points until there was on deposit in this little village co-operative* bank almost $1,000,000. Such an amount of money was of course far in excess of any needs which the members themselves might have aa borrowers. Consequently the bank began to do bjtiiness with outsiders. Funds were so plentiful and the demands relatively so small thatlt granted to its debtors extensive credits. It became known that credit could easily be obtained at that village bank and speculators far and near flocked to it. It risked its money in financial schemes outside the limits of the vil- ~ lage. The cashier, who had no particular fitness for the position, also had charge of church funds and other public, funds. Besides this, he was conducting a large business in a hotel. There seems to have been no one on theboard of managers of any particular business judgment or ability. Even integrity was not present, for the cashier ended his year with forgery and was sent to.prison. It was not surprising, therefore, that in December, 1911, the Nieder Mabau Loans and Savings bank was declared insolvent, the natural results of undue greed, of the spirit of speculation, of incompetence, and of dishonesty. Co-operative Bank at Darmsted. More recently the co-operative agricultural bank at Darmsted, formed! in 1882, reached a point where it waa unable to meet its obligations. Its situation was almost the same aa that of the Nieder Mabau bank, although it operated upon a much larger scale. In connection with this bank there was also either gross incompetency or dishonesty. In one case, for example, over a million dollars waa invested in a mine that could not beworked. Other equally hazardous enterprises were financed by this concern contrary to all principles of cooperative credit and equally contrary to all ruleB of sound finance. "Cooperative banks are not foolproof,* and of course the co-operative bank at Darmsted failed. Co-operation .may fail even Jn Denmark, the country in all Europe most completely organized for rural business. There a brilliant public man got in the good graces of those Interested in co-operation and promoted a scheme for uniting many co-operative societies in one big concern. Hero there was not so much incompetence aa dishonesty, and the venture ended in financial failure for the members— and in * Imprisonment for the dishonest promoter. Causes of Failures in America. Co-operative failures so far as America is concerned are traceable largely to these causes: In the first place it has always been, difficult for the Amerioan to comprehend the fact that co-operative concerns are not money making, dividend declaring, profit producing concerns. They do not seem to realisa1 that the sole excuse for the existence* of the co-operative organisation as a middleman 1B in order that a middler man's, function may be performed without waste and without profit: , In the second place the spirit of the American farmer is not sufficient* ly unselfish. He has bean operating: for so long on the competitive baals> that it Is difficult for him to acquire a spirit of unselfish loyalty to tbw spirit of the organization to which hebelongs. If an opportunity presents itself under which he can net a profit by abandoning the cooperative society and dealing with a private dealer, he embraces ft at once, without realizing that in the end this will ruin his. co-operative concern and leave him in the hands of the privately owned dealer who has been for generations working him for large profits. In the third place, practically all the American concerns which have* failed have been organized on the joint stock plan. With the voting power distributed in proportion to the capital Invested It has often occurred that the interests of those who were in control of the majority of the stock were antagonistic to the interests of the smaller stockholders, who contributed to the success by bringing, in a large part of the produce handled by the concern. As a result the policy of the co-operative concern has often ignored the interests of the* producer it the concern was a marketing one, or tha interests' of the distributee if the concern was a distributing organiiatioh. . .

He got what be 'wanted, and nothing ever stood in his path. I just love the way he rode over poor old Josephine's heart, don't iyou?"—and she turned to Slade. "But he was right!" she continued, earnestly, as if she were making a tplea for something that lay very close to her own heart. "Why should we let anyone hold us back? I wouldn't. But mother didn't want to leave the West, so father stuck to his town and his friends and his state. Now he stands in the background and boosts other men politically. "He wants to boost you," she added, suddenly. "Letting out secrets," her father accused, playfully. But Katherlne was never more se- Irious. "You're his dark horse," she 'persisted.

"Wesley Merritt!" the senator was almost too surprised for speech. "After his abuse of you in the paper today—. And Hunt I How did you do it?" "This is the sort of thing I like." broke in Katherlne, eagerly. "Oh, it's so exciting," she declared, her eyes glowing with eagerness and animation. "Oh, Mr. Slade, how did you make them kow-tow?" Blade's reply was prevented by the brusque, excited entrance of Merritt and Hunt. The pair, angry and belligerent, strode into the room without a word. Merritt, small, wiry, energetic, was in the lead, followed closely by his, Bhadow and echo, Hunt "Is it true?" he demanded angrily, before be realized that Slade was not alone. "How do you do, senator— Miss Strickland!" he exclaimed, in surprise. "Lovely home you have, Mr. Slade," he added, trying to adjust himself to the ecene he had not expected. "An astonishing rumor has reached us, Mr. Slade," he finally declared, getting down to the business of his invasion. "It concerns you,, senator. It concerns every public-spirited man in the city. Is it true, Slade, that you have bought up our entire water front on which our residences—our old homes—the mansions of the city face, and that you intend building factories there?" "Why, yes," Slade admitted, with maddening calmness. "What?" Strickland almost shouted, completely astounded. "But—but it can't be done," Merritt was BO excited now that he stuttered hie words. "It can't be done," echoed Hunt. He was well paid for being an echo. "Our best people live there," protested Merritt, "I live there," Hunt added, with accumulated emphasis. "All of us," Merritt continued, "take pride in the view along the water front. It's damnable. Why, out of common decency, man— What do you want olfactories, anyway?" he demanded, completely angered and out of patience. Blade's voice was almost a drawl, it was so low-pitched and so provoklngly calm. "Why didn't you and your associate* protect your holdings?" he Inquired. "How'd we loJow a man with millions would come along and buy up the whole beach?" Merrltt's wrath was getting beyond the control that Katharine's presence demanded. "Slade, if you persist in this," he thundered, 'Tm going to take off my coat and hit back. My paper has an enormous outside circulation, and I'll baste you once every day. If you propose running for governor, you won't get one vote in your own town. And in one month, or less, you'll find San Francisco haa a gorgeous climate." Slade was unperturbed by Merrltt's threats or Merrltt's buUdosing. "All right, Merritt," he advised, good-naturedly, "go ahead with your paper, I'll take my chances." "You will, e h r Merrltt's tone was ominoui. "What sort of factories are you going to build?" "Well," drawled Slade, coolly, "I was thinking of putting up glue factories!" "Glue!" The one word Jumped from everyone's mouth at once. "Glue!" they all repeated, and looked at each other in consternation. "The h—l you say," then remembering himself. "I beg your pardon, Miss Strickland." "It can't be done," Merritt went on. "Yon can't build glue factories hare," and be emphasised every word with an angry shake of bis finger. "By God, you—" He broke off aa he saw Bob Hayes stride into the room. Hayes, as Blade's lawyer and almost a member of the family, had the entree to thehouee at ail times. "Berwa my lawyer." remarked Blade, dryly, -ask Mm," — "Or course It can be done." Hayes informed them, conrlantagiy. i r e per* feetly leeltimate." Then, <aa if to dismiss a perfectly obvfcua subject, he turned to the girl, who had been enjoying over* point that Slade had scored. Katherme'i eyes lighted with warm It waa the tret time, aba him with cordial friendship, but with none of the sweet tenderness he might have expected from her. Ouce ehe had looked up into his eyes and thought him a god. Now. her eyes blinded by the glare of ambition, she saw only a good looking chap, & struggling lawyer, a man who hadn't made any particular mark in the world. She returned Hayes' burning, penetrating gaze with cool, unruffled frankness. In another moment she had turned from him and was earnestly watching Slade, listening to his every word with eager intentness. "You eee, I'm a very simple sort of fellow," Slade was saying, "don't drink —don't smoke—don't keep yachts or horses, don't keep wo-—" he stopped in his oft-repeated formula as he remembered Katherlne's presence, "don't keep horses, so I must do something, ae I waa Baying to Mrs. Blade today. I don't want to bother my neighbors, so I'll build high chimneys, so the smoke won't trouble you much. I'm going Into the glue business. That is, of course," and he paused and surveyed the group about him with a complacent elevation of his eyebrows, "that is, unless you gentlemen can keep me busy In some other way. I'm a very active man." ^Katherlne leaned forward with tense expression to see how the man's op- ? "When she was twenty-one and I was twenty-four and six feet one inch of a western lawyer, just out of the woods. How does Mrs. Slade take to this governorship business?" he finished, abruptly. "She dogen'i take to it." Blade's voice was hard. "I was afraid she wouldn't." "Well, noboays going to stand in my way." A malignant light showed in his eyes. "My boy, I'm out to win." In spite of the fact that he was in full evening attire, he thrust his hands into his pockets and almost strutted about the room, "I outgeneraled that crowd here tonight. By God, I did! Do you know—?" He paused in his walk and looked down on Hayes' six feet sprawled over one of the brocaded chairs—"there's just a little drop of that fellow—Napoleon Bonaparte—in me!" "Napoleon Bonaparte got on by leaving a woman behind," Hayes returned, seriously, refusing to enter into Slade's epirlt of self-satisfied good humor. "You mind your own d—n business, Bob," Slade turned on him, suddenly. "All right—I'm off to the opera. I only meant that Napoleon was a bad boy for you to follow, because he treated his first wife like a dirty dishrag. That's why I'm glad that second little Austrian hussy paid him back. That's all. I love Mre. Slade. When I was sick with fever In your mining camp she was a mother to me." "Don't forget that I made you," Slade reminded him. "I," and he tapped hia chest. "I gave you your chance." "I don't. All the same I'd hate to see you elected, because of Mrs. Slade. It seems to be the regular thing, becoming universal, for a very successful man to leave home the minute he's on his feet. Good night." "One minute, Bob. You've given me a lot of good advice. I'll give you some. Are you in love with that girl?" "Yes," Hayes grunted; "good night. Is that all?" "No;" Slade paused, watching Hayes through narrowed eyelids. "That girl needs a large pie with every one of her fingers in it. Bob, I'm sorry for you. Your pie isn't big enough." "Well—it's my pie. Good night," and he was gone. After Hayes had gone, Slade sat, his arms resting on the table, staring into space. Every now and then the corners of his mouth came down and his eyes narrowed. He was thinking of Katherlne Strickland and Hayes. That woman for Hayes! Hayes must be a presumptuous pup to ever think of winning that queen. Such women were meant for the kings of the earth—not for their hirelings. (TO B E CONTINUED.)

The senator was smiling, Merritt tapping his foot restlessly. "Well, boys* iLJooks as though _he_ had us—strong?" Strickland broke the silence. "Glue! Whew!" "Are we going to be had?" demanded Merritt, testily, "are we going to stand for this holdup?" and he turned disgustedly toward the door. "Don't you think we'd better keep Mr. Slade busy in some other way," Strickland repeated. "I don't," Merritt flung back over his shoulder as he left the room, followed, as usual, by Hunt. Merrltt's hasty departure was the signal for Katharine to adjust her wraps and remark: "We must be late for Tristan." Hayes followed her. "I must see yon alone, Katherlne. You're still free— there's no foreigner on the scene, is there, Katherlne?" "Bob," Katherlne's voice was sweet but firm. "I don't think I shall ever marry now—" "Oh, nonsense," he protested. "No," even more positively. "The more I see of men—hut what'e the use? There never was but one man I could have got on with, and I didn't happen to live in his time." "Who was the boy?" Hayes asked, lightly. "Strange," Katherlne replied, pensively, "I've just been talking about him—Napoleon Bonaparte." "Oh, Lord—that fellow." Hayes was much relieved. "Can I have tomorrow evening?" "Yea—If yon—yea—tomorrow evening, Bob." Her voice lingered a bit on the Bob, and with quicks impulsiveness Hayea caught her hand and kissed i t In another minute she had turned to Blade.

S^SBBTW;™ NEW DISCOVERY ABOUT ANTS Scientist Asserts That the Insects Have s Regular Form of Salutation Among Themselves. Ants have long been known for their excessive industry, but from a curious communication" which has just appeared they seem to have surpassed all other insects by organising an elaborate system of signaling. Professor Bugnion, who has recently investigated the habits of the white ant. reports that the "soldiers" of that species give warnings or encouraging signals by knocking with their Jaws upon dry leaves, thereby emitting a crackling sound. Placing some of these ants on a big plate and covering it with paper, he found that the "soldiers" among the ants responded to his taps with a rustling, crackling sound. Moreover, apart from this audible signaling, there appears to be some inaudible form of signal, for the professor asserts that the "soldier" ants salute the worker ants. To do this, "the Insect stands firmly on its legs with the head raised and the body slightly oblique, and shakes itself for an instant with a convulsive shudder. This seems to mean some thing."

Canada Is Getting a Great Many Americans. , ' * -4 "Three young provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta," says a New York financial journal, "have already made Winnipeg one of the greatest primary wheat markets of the world. Iu 1904 they raised 58,000,000 bushels of wheat. Five years later they produced 150,000,000 bu.sb.elB. In 1913 the crop approximated 200,000,- 000 bushels. At the present rate of progress Canada must eoon pass France and India, and stand third in the line of wheat producers. Ultimately It will dispute with Russia and the United States for the first position. Wheat has been the pioneer of our development Undoubtedly it will prove the same with Canada. In the last calendar year our trade with Canada amounted to 497 million dollars. Only with two countries—the United Kingdom and Germany—is our trade greater. No vivid imagination is needed to see what the future development of Canada means to the people of the United States. The influx of American settlers to the Canadian prairies is now in full swing. Within the past few days over 80 of those arrived at Bassano carrying with them effectB and capital to the value of $100,000. Fifty settlers from Oregon arrived in Alberta a iew days ago; while 15 families of settlers from the state of Colorado arrived at Calgary on their journey northwards. The goods and personal effects of this party filled 20 box cars. Of live stock alone they had 175 horses, 15 cows and 2,000 head of poultry. Another class of settler has arrived at Peers, 110 miles west of Edmonton, where no fewer than 200 German farmers have taken up land. These are from good farming families and brought with them a large amount of capital. Then in South Wee tern Saskatchewan, there are large numbers settling, these from the United States predominating, while in the northern and central portions of all these provinces, the settlement of new people ie going on steadily. Early in April, Peter Goertz arrived in Cardiff after a sixday journey from McPherson, Kansas. Mr. Goertz. who had purchased land here was in charge of a party of 38 people from the same part of Kansas and they came through with a special train which included all their stock and implements. The equipment was all Rock Island cars, and was the first full immigrant train ever sent out by that railroad. The farrne purchased by the members of the party are amongst the best in the district. When the Panama exposition opens next year any of the three transcontinental lines in Canada will make convenient means of transport for those going to visit, and in doing so agricultural districts of Western Canada can be seen, and ocular demonstration given thoee who have heard but not before seen, of that which haa attracted BO many hundreds of thousands of American settlers.—Advertisement * Weight of Inch of Rainfall.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May 21, 1914 No. 21 Gommunication . ' May 15, 1914 To the Township Board of the Township of Putnam, Pinckney, Michigan. Gentlemen: I was today asked by Dr. H. F. Sigler to rea 1 the deed conveying the land which is commonly known as the public square in the village of Pinckuay to its present ownership. This I have just done, and in as much as this deed was conveyed into its present ownership some years ago and at a time, probabiy, before the present members of to* Towntjrip Board bad much to do witto tee Township affai re, X tail* at tbift time to go somewhat In derails. TMe public square now belongs to the Township of Putnam and not to the Village of Pinckney. It was deeded to the Township of Putnam, October 11, 1884, by Dr. Charles W. Hayes and others for a consideration named in the deed of $2047 which the Township voted to pay and paid at that time, that consideration being the costs and expenses that the partitis of the first part to the deed paid to maintain the title against one, James Pearson, who was then claiming to own the property as a private individual. :9G{iis deed is recorded in the office of Register of Deeds for this County, in Liber 77, page 348. This deed is in the usual form, and after describing the property accurately and carefully, contains this provision, to-wit: "Provided always and these presents are upon the absolute condition that the said two and one-half acres of laud above con* veyecf shall be by the said party of the second part forever hereafter occupied and used and apthe money and carried the burden I of the litigation at the time that thd property was attacked and sought to be put to private use did, ia my opinion, a worthy public service, and the public square Jjhat was at that time and in tha^manuer purchased by the Township has ever sine?, as before been a source of pride, beauty and I think profit, at lea*t in the way of satisfaction, to the people of the Township, and I think no use of the grounds that are susceptible of serious objection on the part of the citizens of the Township should be tolerated. I s e t a it the foregoing letter to yo* m the spirit of desiring to be of assktfmas in the matter, if possible, and for uo other purpose whatever. I have not the slightest doubt that each member of the Township Board has as great, or greater interest in the matter than I have, and that each and all of you will be only to glad to do your duty after you shall finally understand it. All of which I most respectfully submit W. P. VANWINKLE. THE SECRET IS OUT The open letter of attorney Van- Winkle to the Township Board of Putnam is a very clear exposition of the statute of the public park. The deed of the "syndicate" to the Township is an iron clad one and fully sets forth the wishes of Jos. Kirk land, the original donor. This deed was made about thirty years ago. All are now dead but one. Who can say how soon some of the heirs of these persons may see a possible chance for procuring gain and begin suit for ejectment on the grcunds of a violation of the terms of this deed? Tbe notice to the Township Board is a propri.a,te, u excl,us.ive,l y t, o pub, ,li.c ,m atter* ox>f puib lic rec.o-rd. .n The vil*- „_.: __i„ _•__! __i. *__ __.•__A. i *a*?e °* Pinckney with the consent uses only, and not for any private of the Township Board, can well ends and purposes." I am advised that my attention was called to this subject matter because the Village of Pinckney, through some of its officers, claimed the right and authority to allow shows or tent performances, or things of that kind, upon the public ground, and because such UBO of tbe ground was objected to by citizens of that vicinity. I desire to state that it appears to me there is no question but what the Township of Putnam has the absolute control of this piece of property and not the village of Pinckney. Therefore the Township Board of the Township represent the Township and are the officers in charge and control, and no use of the public grounds could be considered a lawful use except it was such use as is approved for public purposes by the said Township Board. afford to do a little every year to beautify the park for the benefit it is to the village. H. F. Miss Lulu Benham and Mr. Morrice Darrow Quietly Married Wedding bells tolled the knell of another maiden's name last Friday evening, May 15, at Howell, when at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Ely, her sister, Miss Lulu Benham became the bride of Mr. Morrice Darrow otthis place. Rev. B. Atcheson, pastor of the Howell Baptist church, officiated at tbe ceremony which made the happy young couple one. Miss Benham is one of Pinckney's popular school teachers, being at present preceptress of the Pinckney high school. Mr. Darrow is a member of the Junior class of tbe same school. For some time past it has been rumored that the young people were to be married, but when the time came they evidently decided to fool everyone. It is too bad tbat the "cat is- out of the bag", but such news was too good to keep any longer. Miss Benham is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Benham of North Hamburg, while Mr. Darrow is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Darrow of this place. This paper joins witm their, many friends in wishing them much happiness. What the bride's wedding gown was, we don't know, what her traveling gown was, we don't Know. If she wore a hat, if the house was tastefully decorated, we don't know. We don't know whether they sat down to a sumptuous repast or not after the ceremony. We don't know where they went on their honeymoon Fruit Jars Short Measure Deputy Dairy and Food Commissioner, Burr Lincoln, issued the following bulletin today: "During a recent trip to Cheboygan, A. J. Finn, city sealer, called my attention to the fact that the two quart 'Ball fruit jars,' Mason's patent, were one-half pint short, holding three and one-half-pints instead of four. There is stamped on the outside of the box that contains the jars these words 'One-half gallon, Complete.' When the average housewife wants one-half gallon, of vinegar, syrup, molasses, etc., and sends one of these cans to the grocer to be filled, she is short measured at the rate of one pint to a gallon. In many parts of Michigan storekeepers fcjaj% these soealled two quart jars filled with fruit, maple syrup, etc. The unsuspecting customers buy them and imagine that they are getting full measure when in reality they are being short-measured ouehalf- pint. The dairy and food department is issuing circulars to the sealers o f weights a n d measures and to inspectors of the department requesting them to stamp on all such cans offered for sale, the true contents, to-wit, three and one-half pints. It is suggested that housewives send to the grocer something besides a Ball two quart jar if they want full measure. Yesterday I instructed two of the girls in the department to buy two quarts of vinegar from two different Lansing stores. One sample obtained was full measure. The other was 2\ oz. short, both obtained in cane that held over two quarts. WTe then sent down a Ball fruit jar WANT COLUMN Rents, Real Estate, Found Lost, Wanted, Etc.

According to investigators In the department of agriculture the average Inet cost of raising a dairy heifer one year old on a Wisconsin farm Is $39.62 ma4 of a two. year heifer $61.41. These flfim at* aspUeaule to other dairy # * ^ - S U t e J * p r t i aa* Heat where [land and food Taluoi^tf* itailar to jthose in Wiscoaeta. Thoy ore "based l\y og8e.£ by the value of the manar*. on data obtained from raising 117 calves from birth to the time they enter the dairy herd. The details, with a complete summary of the in* jvestigatlon, have recently been published by the department of agriculture In- Bulletin No. 49, under the title of "The Cost of Raising a Dairy Cow." There are in the United StateB over 121,000,000 dairy cows. These figures [give some Idea of the importance of this economic problem to the country as a whole, for these cows must !be replaced every few years. The toost of the production of these heifers Is a large item In keeping down the profits of the dairymen. The new bulletin contains numerous [table* and several illustrations of the {Jersey calves from which the items of cost were obtained. The most Important item was the icoBt of the food, which was estimated at market value and amounted to nearly two-tlArds of the total net cost of the heifer, while labor formed 12½ Iper cent of the cost. Figures for the average net cost of the one-year-old heifer are as follows: (Feed $24.67 Labor 4.45 [Other costs 6.36 ing dependent almost entirely upon whole milk. The man labor required In raising a heifer is about 40 hours during the first year and 23 hours the second year. The total cost of man and horse labor for the two years is close to $8. The manure produced during the two years has been valued at $8; consequently, the cost of labor Is practical- Total $35.48 To this should be added the initial -value of the calf, which was estimated to he $7.04, making a total cost at the end of one year of $42.52. This charge is justified In view of the fact that dairy cows are credited with this item In determining the cost of milk production. By allowing $3 credit for imanure, it leaves a net cost of $39.52 at the end of the first year. Figures for the average net cost of the two-year-old heifer are as follows: Initial value $ 7.04 jFeed 40.83 Labor 7.811 Other costs .> 13.73 The item "Other coats" consist* of expenses usually overlooked Jfi e*& mating costs. These are interest, charge for the use of buildings and equipment, expense for bedding, miscellaneous expenses, a share of the general expenses for the entire farm business, and a charge to cover losses by death and discarding. The total for these forms nearly one-fifth of the total cost of the two-yearold heifer. > The foregoing figures show that it costs more to raise calves to maturity than is commonly supposed, and they support the advice which the department Is continually trying to impress upon dairy farmers, that it does not pay to raise any but the best heifers. Raising scrub heifers and selling them at $25 to $40 apiece, as many do, Is unprofitable except on cheap land or under other very favorable conditions. But it does pay to raise the best heifers, for in good dairy sections wellbred heifers are worth considerably more than $60 when two years of age. Furthermore, dairy farmers as a rule r~e obliged to raise their own stock as it is difficult to buy productive cows at a reasonable price. In some sections of the West where alfalfa is worth only $4 or $5 a ton, or in the Southwest where pastures furnish feed the greater part of the year, this cost may be greatly reduced. Even where it costs $60 to raise a heifer, twothirds of this amount is charged for feeds at market prices, a large part of vrhlch can be grown on the farm at a profit. Thus by raising the heifers the dairy farmer finds a home market for feeds grown on the farm at remunerative prices, and at the same time aids In maintaining the fertility of the farm. $69.41 Credit for manure 8.00 $61.41 One-half of the feed cost the first year and one-third for the full two ye^rs id" for whole and skim milk. By far the most expensive period in the life of the calf U the first four weeks, the cost being nearly double that for any other four-week period. This high cost is occasioned by its ber W V S A / W S A ^ W \ » I Two Sheep Pastures. Sheep owners should realize that having two or more feed lots is economy. As soon as one pasture Is picked bare a change should be made. In this way the pasture 'becomes freshened and the weeds will be kept down better. Sheep do much better on less ground when this system is used and many more sheep can be kept. Isolate Setting Hens.

Canada. The • crop conditions are the very best, and no one locality seems to have an advantage over another in this respect. The uniformity in growth is remarkable, and in all parts of the three provinces spring wheat at the time of writing, May 10th, is well above the ground from two to three inches. Considerable fall plowing was done last year, and this, with the summer fallow, is already seeded, so that practically wheat seeding is over by this date. Everywhere the farmers are* busy and the whole country presents one great scene of activity— three-horse, four-horse and five-horse teams are busy preparing land for barley, oats and flax. On some of the larger farms batteries of steam and gasoline outfits are at work, but in a great many districts where these haw* bee*, wex&ted in the past they act fcatet d»j1i«Bi fry to*** cwiag a* 4o*a* partial* to m «»calty * M m * * *«partaMt* • • • W-operate them. Anyway, there Ja batag pot into agriculture in Western Canada, greater effort with more promise than for some years past. The soil Is in the best possible condition; moisture has been sufficient, there have been no winds to dry out the soil, and if the farmers have had to lay up for a.day or so now and again, it was merely that the ground might have the advantage of the rain and an occasional snow, which promise so much for the growing crop. With some warm weather the grain will come along in a manner that will equal the best years Western Canada has ever had. It must not be thought from thiB that the farmers are full bent on securing a grain crop alone. In nearly every district there Is more and more the indication and inclination to go Into mixed farming. Herds of cattle now dot the plains that up to ^ttie present had been fully given up to grain growing, hogs and sheep are in evidence.. New buildings are to be seen on a great many places, these being pig houses and cow stables, although protection of cattle is not regularly required, excepting , for calves and such cows as it may be necessary to house from time to time. .The growing of alfalfa and other . fodder grasses is an industry that is being rapidly developed. During this spring a splendid class of new settlers have gone in, many of them from the eastern stateB. These have seen what success the western and central states man has achieved in- Western Canada, and are now going in In hundreds. The movement from Montana, Oregon and Washington to Canada continues without any abatement as to numbers and value of effects, while the central and eastern states are still sending an excellent class of farmers with means sufficient to begin farming on a scale that will .pay irom the start Those who contemplate visiting the Panama Exposition next year will find that one of the most interesting trips they can make will be via the Canadian West.

Here comes a judge in our own state, trying tbe case of a man who entered his neighbor's garden and pinched a head of cabbage. The judge decides that it was not larceny of personal property at all, and hence not a basis of criminal action; but the cabbage heads are real estate,, and that the neighbor's remedy is to bring a civil action contesting title. We have eaten garden truck—spinach and lettuce for instance—which tasted like real estate. But we never knew before that to steal it-was not theft. And after a cabbage head is eaten what good is the title? Now, if it had been a franchise or an election that was stolen, it would have been less surprising in the law to let the culprit go free; but who would ever have thought that the science of judicial hairsplitting would finally be successfully invoked to protect a plain, everyday cabbage thief?—Pittsburgh Press. »»»• • KAN DISEASES I I MICHIGAN AND IMPORTANCE OF SELECTION OF SEEDS Contrary Times.

Expert at State College Writes Article of Value to Producers of Important Crop of State. Practical Suggestions are Given J. H. Munsfe, Research Assistant in Plant Diseases, Michigan Agricultural College. Michigan ranks 41 rat among the states in the production of beans. The value of her bean crop for 1913 was approximately $10,000,000.00. It Is estimated by the bean dealers of the state that the crop would have been worth at least $2,000,000.00 more if it had not been damaged by the two diseases Onthracnose and Blight. When the shortage in yield, discolored beans, shrunken seed and cost of picking are considered this seems to be a conservative estimate. In many sections the average "pick" of 1913 beans ran as high as eight pounds, and in some cases twenty tcTthe bushel. One examination of many samples of cull beans from various sections of the state it was found that at least 50% of the pickings was made up of diseased seed. A further loss is due to the cost of "picking" and the reduction of price paid to the farmer on account of the discolored beans. At the present season when great areas are being prepared for the 1914 bean crop every effort should be made to prevent, as far as possible, a repetition of last year's loss. The only thing which can he done at this time of year is to secure seed free from even a slight discoloration. Every affected seed is a source of contamlna* well known that in areas where continued wet weather is prevalent, Anthracnose is more noticeable, especially upon the pods and seeds. Blight also is widespread under such conditions, and inflicts serious damage to the crop by Us attack upon the leaves, which causes a marked reduction of the yield and uneven ripening of the pods. A workable control measure Is known for Anthracnose but at present the control of Blight remains unsolved. Anthracnose can be absolutely avoided by securing seed from clean pods. The selected pods must have no diseased spots whatever upon them, and must be kept away from diseased pods. These clean pods may be dipped for ten minutes in corrosive sublimate solution (one part to one thousand parts of water), to make doubly sure of avoiding contamination. Dry in the sun away from the dust of the bean field. Shell so that the dust from the bean fields or from other beans will not get to the shelled seed. Seal this seed in air-tight fruit jars. This seed should be used to plant a seed plot which should be on clean ground. The crop from this seed should be free from Anthracnose and largely free from Blight and if kept from contamination, should give extramejirilaslrable seed for next year. /On a small plot of this kind, any diseased plants may be easily detected and pulled out tion to the fleids, and for this reason | a n d b u r n e d i T n i a l s a wholesome hand picking should be done at least j s a a l t a r y measure.

DUDGEON. >»»d+»»0»»» iCupyright, iaJ4, Wtmern Nuwipuper Union, J A CO-OPERATIVE BACON FACTORY ! &j.m* Frederickssund, Denmark.—We take off our hats to the Danish packing house and its product. Here a most efficient packing house takes a high grade pig and manufactures him into the beet bacon on earth. If Armour or Ocdaby or Morris were here he •would be compelled* to Join us In our salutation of the packing houses of Denmark. Here is the last word as Jto efficient scientific treatment of the dead porker. But in Denmark they demand something more than scientific treatment In the packing house. The Danish theory Is that to produce good bacon you must go back into the history of the pig. They want to know of what breed he was, that he was raised In a sanitary pen, on pure, wholesome food, that he was between five and seven months old, and weighed from 180 to 200 pounds when butchered. 'He may not be a. scrub, picked up by the buyers and rushed into the yards to be killed and cured, as may t>e the case In America. The Danish pig is an efficient scientific agency for transforming pure milk and grain And root crops and fodder into fine pig meat. And so when the best packing horse methods deal with the "best pig thfe result is sure to be the best bacon. And the farmers after they ha*ve raised the pig and cured the bacon In the bacon factory which they themselves own, insist that they get the profit from the sale. So these Danish fanners keep possession of the bacon until It is placed upon the counters of the retail dealers in England. In this way they get all the profits there are In the entire process. Organized Without Money. This Is the way in which it is done. The bacon factory here at Frederickssund Is owned by 3,000 farmers. There are big farmers and little farmers among them. Some of them have only five acres, and others have hundreds of acres. Some contribute only one or two hogs per year, while others send theirs in by the hundred. Strange to say, while the factory now represents a very large investment and while the farmers who own it have In the aggregate great wealth, the plant was established without the direct investment of one dollar. Thera was no capital paid in and there were no bonds Issued. A large number of farmers simply got together, organized, elected officers and directed that these officers should, in their behalf, borrow sufficient capital at the near- . by bank to erect the plant and start the business. And the bank stood foi? it, well knowing that the unlimited liability of hundreds of farmers who were interested in the bacon factory was the best security in the world; well knowing also that under proper management a bacon factory was Itself one of the most sound and profitable business ventures Into which these same farmers could go. The loan was obtained with the understanding that repayment should be In annual installments running over ten years and that these payments should be made out of the net earn* mgs of the concern. There is one annual meeting of the members each year, and although the financial Interests which the different members have In the concern vary largely, It lav one man one vote no matter who he may be, the owner of a small farm or of a large farm. The man who delivers one pig per year has the tame voting power as he whose annual product amounts to 1,000 pigs. The annual meeting elects a board of $1 directors. These directors hold four meetings per year. The direct o r employ the superintendent and •manager. ' -. High Grade Manager. This concern Is owned by 3,000 thrifty, close-fisted, money-making farmers, but they do not run this husiae|f on any narrow gauge plan. 1&eTt j b l ^ T t n f t t incompetence^ .does not pay. They want good results and fao1 employ the best superintendent ^'•-'.^jiad, manager* that monetary consld- .£>;>• ^^fjswtions' can secure.

He is familiar with the markets of the world and with the demands of each. Into his plant he has introduced all the latest efficiency devices. He is in tho broadest sense, a competent, efficient, high priced manager. Although for some twenty or thirty years co-operation has been in successful operation in Denmark, no cooperative society can count upon the absence of rivalry and competition from private dealers. Earlier in the game more than one co-operative society was sadly hindered in being outbid in its efforts to purchase the products of its members. It is hard indeed for the farmer to realize that he should accept $10 per hundred for his pigs from a co-operative society while the outside dealer is offering him $11 per hundred. The private dealers here played the game that they are playing in America. Whenever any co-operative concern started doing business the private dealer at once outbid It. Here as in America the farmers sometimes abandoned their co-operative society and sold to the highest bidder. Occasionally the co-operative concern was pushed to the wall and went out of business. Here as in America the private dealer immediately dropped his price and fljfhe farmer was where he was before getting whatever price the dealers agreed upon among themselves. No Selling to Rival Dealers. It did not take the organizers of the co-operative movement long to realize that this could not go on. Consequently, when a new organization is started now the matter is fully explained to the prospective members. They are told that unless they expect to give unlimited loyalty to the concern, unless they are willing to agree to bring all of their output to the society even when the society is outbid by private dealers, there is no use in starting a society at all. It is fully explained to them that the high prices which may be offered can only be temporary and that the permanent welfare of the community demands that the co-operative concern be organized and be loyally supported. The matter thus fully before them the Danish farmers do not hesitate to enter into a contract to deliver all their product to the local co-operative society. The members of this bacon factory here are under absolute agreement to deliver pigs to no other dealer, although any member may of course use such hogs as he needs for his own use. Here is the contract:, '•We, the undersigned ^hereby pledge ourselves to deliver to the co-operative bacon factory, which It Is proposed to establish, all the pigs of weight between 150 and 200 pounds, which we may produce for sale. Such pigs will be delivered on conditions decided by the shareholders of the society, and that we shall receive such amount In payment of such delivered swine as may be realized for them by the factory less preliminary expenses incurred In the organization of the society and the annual installments on loan for building and plant payable during a period of about ten years, together with current working expenses." Sixty Thousand Pigs Ptr Year. "We handle from sixty thousand to seventy thousand pigs each year," said the manager. "During parts of the year two thousand pigs per week will come in. These all are nearly of the same age and size, practically all being between twenty-four and twenty-eight weeks old and weighing from 180 to 200 pounds. They have been fed almost the same food and have been raised upon conditions that are absolutely uniform. Slight differences occur Is the individuals, some being a little fatter than their mates, others differing in the quality of meat, although it wduld take an expert to detect these differences. Our annual turn over of bacon amounts to about a million and a half dollars. We send out some fresh pork. Our leading article Is cored side bacon with ham and shoal der attacfied. We send out also lard, sausage, boneless ham and a number of by-products. Ton will not* as you t o through the fao> tor*, that every product which we sand out It marked with a government stamp with the number Sfc wnich i s the samba* of thia factory.

Some one has said that the only thing we have not been able to make money out of is the squeal. For example, we manufacture bone meal for chicken feed. We turn the blood into a special quality of fertilizer, moBt of which is shipped to Germany and Holland and used largely upon their famous tulip beds. We burn nothing. Most of the offal goes back to the farms of this region as manures. There Is no more profitable use for It The very water with which we flush out our slaughter rooms is used as a fertilizer. "Bach Friday we send out quotations of prices which will prevail during the coming week. About one-half of our output, however, Is sold in advance on standing orders from England. They direct us to send them so many hundred pounds at the ruling price. They understand, of coarse, that we will fix a fair market price upon what we send them. With these who want good bacon, however, it is not so much a question of price as a question of quality, and it is because of our, quality that we have these standing order*." Fixing Prices. "Each of the factories has a local price-fixing committee, consisting of the president of the local society, a well-known farmer who is not a director of the society, and the manager of the factory. The manager of course, produces the latest market reports, telegrams and all other Information obtainable as to the results of previous shipments, the state ot the market and Its trend whether up or down. After providing for a small profit which goes to the sinking fund and allowing a quarter of a ceni per pound for working expense the sommlttee decides upon the prices whteh should be paid and which it will recommend to the general district committee. "We are now paying a little over fifteen dollars per hundred weight. Other private dealers pay the same price, but with the private dealer the first return Is all the farmer will ever get for his pigs. Each year we lay aside something for our reserve fund, and something to pay off what we borrowed at the bank. After we have done this we declare an annual dividend, which amounts to from $1.25 to $1.50 on each hog that has been delivered to us. You see also that at the end of the ten years' period each farmer has a share in our establishment here, which may be termed an additional price for his pigs. ' Standing Together. "There are 43 co-operative bacon factories in Denmark. We have a central organization, which Is rather a voluntary association for the mutual benefit of the various co-operative bacon factories. The office is in Copenhagen. Weekly reports come in from each factory giving the amount killed and sold, the expense of the business and the market returns received. The heads of the various factories meet from time to time to talk over the best business methods and possible Improvements In our way of handling bacon. We give each other the benefit of our experience and think of every way possible to help each other. We do not feel that we are, in any antagonistic sense, rivals. We fully believe that every factory is helped by the success of the other factories. The success of each depends upon the fact that all of the factories are putting out a good product and are dealing In an honest business-like way with the foreign retailers who take our products. What hurts one of us hurts all of us. We are anxious, therefore, to help each other In every way, since In helping others we are helping ourselves. "You will find that there is the same spirit among our members that there Is between the heads of the factories. The members do not feel that they are competing with each other, but feel that they should help each other to Increase the quality of the pork produced. You will find them a very friendly lot of people. "Our agricultural schools and our government departments help us, particularly upon all scientific problems. They help us along*the technical side of all our work. They make experiments and give advice and cooperate with us generally In a thou* sand ways." Possibly the most striking thing about the factory is that a group of farmers should run a concern that rivals In efficiency and business methods the largest and best privately owned packing houses of the world. We expect farmers to farm well but we do hot expect them* to do business well. In America they take what is given them for the raw product and go no further. Here they go so far as to get all there is in I t The farmer who raises the pit holds to it and keeps it as^hts property until it lands In the retail shops of England.

His simple, home-loving wife fails to rise to the new conditions. CHAPTER I—Continued. "Dan," she Bald, "I'll tell you something. These expensive laundries ruin your shirts right off, and when I washed 'em they lasted a whole year. They ain't Ironed right, either." "Oh, my God!" groaned Slade, helplessly, pitying her lack of understanding rather than being angry with her. _ "I wish you'd forget, Mary, that I had to let you wash and scrub once. We're up now. Let us kick the ladder out from under us and stay up— forget how we got here." "But I don't want to forget," remonstrated the little wisp of a woman opposite him. "I was perfectly contented those days. I ain't now. I hate this house. I hate it. It's too big. The help scare me, so many of 'ejn, I'd like jest one hired girl and my old sitting-room set" She stopped meditatively, her thoughts wandering back to the early days when her husband took his pick and dinner pail and tramped off to the mines, and she sang as ehe bent over the washtub and busied herself at the kitchen stove. Her husband sat with face averted, his imagination carrying him far into the future—a vision of honor as chief executive of the state and power in keeping with the untold riches he had Accumulated. "That's it," he finally exclaimed, "I want to go ahead and you want to 'stick over your washtubs. I need the support of big people—got to mix with 'em, and he one of 'em. And you won't." "No, I don't have to," replied Mary. "I needn't." "You don't see the necessity of joining me?" he asked, testily. "I don't know how." 1 "Do you want to know how?" he persisted. "No," came the provokingly Indifferent answer. "You're putting the bars up In the middle of the road," he continued, "and I'm making up my mind to change things." Suddenly Mary's lips quivered and a hurt look showed in her eyes behind the misty tears as she realized that whatever she did irritated her husband She started to speak, but was interrupted by the entrance of a servant, who announced that Senator Strickland and his daughter had just phoned to say that he and his daughter would call on their way to the opera. Blade's face flushed and paled at the thought—flushed at the pleasurable surprise at this unlooked-for attention from the senator, and paled as he thought of the senator's stunningly gowned daughter arriving to find his wife in a cheap, ill-fitting dress that would have looked badly even for morning wear. • "Mary, you look like a steerage pas- ,senger,H he exclaimed suddenly, turning on the flustered little woman, who was aghast at the very thought of a caU from the senator and his daughter. "Go upstairs and dress. Ill make excuses and hold them till you come down." "1 can't," she gasped. "I ain't got time, /anyway, and 1 havent anything •to go to the open is." Blade leaned forward and struck the table with hit clenohed fist "Dont you understand? You mutt see these ipeople. Tonight's paper names me for .governor. Strickland's influence to more necessary to me than any other i nun's in the whole state. He controls [the party. He's bringing hit daughter to my house. You're meeting them socially.

"Tell them," she exclaimed breathlessly, "tell them I had a headache— that's a fashionable enough excuse, anyway." And, terrified, she fled out of the room as {Catherine Strickland and her father were announced. CHAPTER II. As Slade turned from the frightened, insignificant figure of his fleeing wife, he saw a woman of perfect poise and queenly carriage, a woman a trifle haughty and Insolent in her youth and beauty and assured command of all the intricacies of social grace and charm. Her wide, full eyes met his with an engaging, frank curiosity to see this new factor In the political world. Her gown was a triumph of soft, shimmering silk and alluring chiffon—a gown that emphasised the charm of her proud, statuesque figure. She was the sort of woman that makes a man glow with pride to present as his wife or daughter. She was all that Mary Slade was not. Slade stood looking at her, fascinated, forgetting for the moment the man she was with, remembering noth- 8he- Was All That Mary Slade Was Not ing but the magnetic personality of the woman whose reputation for doing big things in a big way was already known to him—a woman whose eyes meeting his gave back flash for flash and understanding for understanding. Almost mechanically Slade found himself acknowledging Senator Strickland's formal presentation of his daughter. Hesitatingly he offered bis hand, which the girl, perfectly at ease! grasped with a cordial, sympathetic pressure. Her eyes were looking critically into his, much as if she were trying to read him through and through and take his measure for future use. Her easy, graceful acceptance of the Situation, her thoughtful inquiry for Mrs. Slave's health, prompted by wellbred sympathy rather than any curious interest and the cultured modulation of her splendid voice, charmed hiss; as no woman had ever done before. ' There was nothing of the shy, retiring ingenue i* Katharine Strickland's makeup. She was a woman of splendid physique and wonderful mental do* velopment. Her appeal to a man was that of a dominant intellect as much 1 oaat Don* ahe *nB» [as of > lovely woman. She laUiedJlMPrsaasd^ Maflis lug eyes and his unusually affable, attentive manner. Suddenly he found himself comparing his own little old-fashioned wife with this handsome, self-possessed woman before him. What a wife Katherlne Strickland would be for the governor of a state! What a picture she would make presiding at the head of a millionaire's dinner tables! How wonderfully such a woman would adorn the richly furnished rooms of his newly built mansion! Instead of the work-worn fingers of his wife, continuously fumbling with darning threads, he saw, in a mental vision, this woman's lovely hands constantly engaged in unwinding the threads of problematic political tangles. Here was a woman who would be a man's wife and comrade—the very antithesis of the household drudge his own wife was content to be, with no interest outside of the four walls of her home and no desire for anything bigger in life than the daily routine of breakfast, dinner and supper, washing on Monday, ironing on Tuesday, and BO on to the end of the week—week after week in the same deadly rut. Here was a woman who would "go along with a man"—possibly a step ahead, blazing the way for new and greater glories and recognizing no limit. Slade brought his reflections to a sudden halt as he remembered the girl's father. "Why, what has happened to you, senator? Your face looks different than it did this afternoon." '"Her fault" replied the senator, with a smile of tolerant affection, indicating his daughter. "She made me cut my beard this way. It's French." {Catherine laughed a delightful, throaty little laugh. "Nonsense, father," she protested. "Of course, I like the West, but I don't believe in being absolutely typical. I was horrified when I got back and found you so blatantly the typical, much-cartooned Westerner." "Mr. Slade," resumed Strickland, "a few influential men from different parts of our state are having a meeting in town tomorrow, and I want you to meet them. I'm arranging a little impromptu dinner, and thought Katherine might be able to persuade Mrs. Slade and yourself to join us." "Oh, father, tell the trulh," Katherine interrupted. "These gentlemen want to meet you, Mr. Slade. I hear •"we're to expect great things of you. You see, I've been mixed up in polltics all my life, and I do love to have a hand in them." "She'd run for president If they'd let her," teased her father. "Indeed I would," the girl admitted, brazenly. "I've got politics in my blood, and home doesn't seem like home unless politics are being brewed in our dining-room. So you'll both come, w6n't you—you and Mrs, Slade." Slade was stammering his acceptance when Strickland Interrupted abruptly. * "How'd you like to be governor, Slade?" Slade threw back his head. with a laugh that was intended to denote complete unconcern. "Oh—that talk! Did the evening papers put that into your head or—" and he paused significantly, "did you put It into the evening papers?". Strickland's laugh was a practical admission. "It would mean a hard fight, Slade. The water-front crowd's against you, and you can't get on without their influence." ^gjMNot in this town, at least," amendetTKatherine. "You've got to have Wesley Merritt, his paper, his hlghfaluting editorials and his speechmaking—and his wife," Strickland explained. "He and hiscrowd run the town." "Oh, you mean my neighbors?" asked Slade. "They'll come around," he finished, meaningly. "But, man alive! Only today Merritt'a attack on you was scurrilous. 1 remonstrated with him myself. He's your out-and-out enemy. I've tried to get him—to—to come over and shake hands, but he swears hell never cross your threshold—" "1 guess they'll come when I want 'em to come," Slade Interrupted, with an assurance his auditors could not understand. "In fact, I'm looking for 'em any minute now," and he consulted his watch. "You're looking for them—hew—tonight?" gasped Strickland, showing plainly he thought Slade was making a Joke of the matter. "Yes, tonight," replied the would-be governor, quietly, and turned to Katharine. Strickland subsided, a question growing in his mind as to whether he had fully measured the man he expected to use for his own political and financial ends. There was In Blades method of fighting a direct and open quality that would make him hard to handle in the crooked and indirect ways of political life. {Catherine Strickland's eyes narrowed as she met Blade's gase. Her quick, calculating mind saw in this man the possibility of realising her highest hopes and ambitions. With tucn a man a woman could scale any hojgfrta roeon any goat He was hard Put A mast freed* to be bard if hots ever Ift"Wr fortile brain smoldered ambitions be great as his ambitions that uhe now realized would never be attained unless she made some great, radical change in her life. She had pushed her father as far as the man would—could go. She had outdistanced every girl in her circle. She had reached high, but she had triumphed. Now she was at the end of her tether. It was a matter of making some one huge stroke or sinking back into stupid obscurity, a situation all the more bitter because of her previous successes. The thought of settling down into the everyday life of the western city where she was born made her very soul squirm. Surely there was something more in life for her. Surely there were bigger goals to be gained. She had never realized how empty the gld home life was until now, when she suddenly found herself a part of it again after the brilliant European season and the stimulating, exciting life in diplomatic circles at the capital. The thought of remaining in the West a big frog in a little puddle, had grown positively hateful to her. Big or little herself, she wanted a big puddle. She was quite satisfied in her own mind that no puddle would be so big that she couldn't become a frog of considerable size in it. Now, as her restless brain and soul clamored for higher goals and a wider field, the thought of Slade's millions, Blade's dominating, forceful personality, Slade's reputation for sweeping everything before him, Slade's probable governorship, flashed through her mind like a burning streak of electric fire. With him, with his weapons, what a career lay before a woman! Just as suddenly she found herself wondering what sort of a woman had been a mate to this man for so many years. She was conscious of a poignant pang of envy—jealousy almost-^ against this woman who had the o p portunity which was denied her. "Well, what do you think of your own country, now you're back?" she heard Slade's voice saying. "Seem big to you?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) FROM BODY OF CATERPILLAR Australia Has Curious Plant Which Develops From Action of Parasite on Insect. Nature is a curious force. There is a caterpillar in Australia, It looks for food under leaves and twigs in the usual way. As It searches, a parasite, specially equipped by nature for the purpose, drops on its neck and fastens itself there, In a week or two thie little parasite seed begins to germinate, drawing its nourishment from the very life blood of the insect. The latter, feeling sick, buries itself about two IncheB into the ground. Eventually a pale green stalk, about twelve Inches high, at the summit of which is a most extraordinary flower, somewhat resembling the top of a bulrush when in seed, appears. The poor caterpillar's refuge in the ground is of no avail, for its whole interior has to make room for a mass of roots. Sucked as dry as a bone, it is actually converted into a stick of wood. French Temperance Society. An organization for the promotion of temperance in France has been founded by M. Schmidt, deputy for the department of the Vosges. A feature of the new body is its catholicity. It Includes every shade of political and religious belief, and all classes of society— politicians, professional men and workmen. A meeting, addressed by doctors, lawyers and a deputy, has just been held in Bordeaux. The new association, which is called "L'Alarme," justifies its name by calling attention to the rising flood of alcoholism in France. Remsmbered Instructions. She was a little girl and very polite. It was the first time she had been on a visit alone, and she had been carefully instructed how to behave. "If they ask you to dine with them." papa had said, "you must say, 'No, thank you; I have already dined.'" It turned out just as papa bad anticipated. "Come along, Marjorie," said her little friend's father, "you must have a bite with us." "No, thank you," said the little girl, with dignity; "I have already bitten." Not Down to Standard.

FACE ITCHED AND BURNED 383 No. Union St., Aurora, 111.—"My ailment started with a little pimple and it alwayB itched and burned terribly. I scratched it and in a few days my face was all covered with sores. It ran up to my eyes and the day after I could not see out of my right eye. I was unable to get any rest. I couldn't go to bed, being afraid of getting the clothing all soiled, although I bad my face all bandaged. "I was given two jars of salve but It kept getting worse. It was something like a running sore because every time I used some of the salve I had to wrap bandages around my neck to keep the water and pus from running down my body. I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in a few days I received these and washed my face with the Cuticura Soap and put on some Cuticura Ointment and the next morning my face felt cool and somewhat relieved. After using the sample I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drug store. I followed this treatment just twenty-six days and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was cured." (Signed) George Miller, Jan. 1, 1913.

T h e D u n n i n g Building and W a r e House of the Teeple Hardware Co. Fully Covered ' A Thursday night about 8:30 the citizens of Pluckney were startled by an alarm of "Fire*'. Wooden buildings owned by Will Donning, Barney Lynch and William Darrow were totally destroyed by fire, although the contents were saved. It took hard and persistent fighting on the part of the men to save the other buildings near there. Had it not been for the recent heavy rains and the low wind, the whole street would have been •wallowel up in flames. Fire is always a devastating menace to any town, but when the demon strikes a village like Pinckney which has ne fire protection whatsoever, it should be a lesson to its citizens to sit up ^and take notice. While weather conditions chanced to be favorable this time at Some other season of the year they might be quite the reverse. Pinckney* boasts of absolutely nothing, no bucket brigade, no chemical engine, not one thing to save the property which have taken the best years of a number of our citizens lives to build. The consequences would have been as bad had the fire started on Main street. In, but a short spice of time, Pinckney, like her sister village, Perry, would have been swept off the map. It was only by valiant work that the Pinckney Hotel and Teeple's brick store-room wera saved. The Teeple Hardware Co. had just purchased a car-load of cement *nd had the flames reached this bnildiug in which the cement was stored the loss would indeed have been great. Dunning's large barn just back of the site of the fire, was kept from tho flames by saturating the roof with* pail atfer pail of water right in the face of danger from "the flying sparks. Men worked when their faces and bands were fairly blistering from the intensity of the heat from the flames. It is to be hoped that some means will be taken by which adequate firti protection may be had in case of another conflagration like the one Thursday eight We do not know when soon a Are might recur and H would be well to be in readiness. It is up to our citizens to get busy. Perry learned her lesson from her fire end now poetesses ample fire protection. We sfeoujd learu tjjat lesson too, for experience i* always and ever wiU be a 4ear teeoaer. Both Mr. Dunning and the Teeple Hwd.

There is absence of the turmoil and the clash of claw with elifla That disturb the roaring city where the anxious millions mass; Every garden is an Eden that growB fairer day by day, There are no mad monsters crushing those who linger in the way; Happy children play, untroubled by a greedy master's frown, And there still is faith and friendship in the little country town.

Daniel Slade eat reading the evening newspaper in the handsomely appointed library of his spacious home. To all intents he was a man at peace with the world. He had money and power. He had advanced from a penniless miner to a millionaire figure In the business world. At fifty his were the fruits of a well-spent, energetic life. Handsome and Immaculate In his perfectly tailored evening clothes, he fitted Into the beautiful room with Its rich tapestries and oriental rugs with all the ease and naturalness of a man born to culture and wealth. Every now and then his eyes wandered from his newspaper to the figure of his wife sitting at the other side of the richly carved table. The tiny, unlmposing little woman In her badly cut, dun-colored gown was the one Ineongruoua detail in the room. She was like a shabby little prairie flower suddenly transplanted to a conservatory where brilliant orchids and lovely roses bloomed all about her, her faint little fragrance overpowered by their heavy sweetness—her delicate loveliness completely submerged by very contrast with the radiant beauty of her surroundings. To Blade's critical eyes, the dowdy little figure, with the work basket In her lap and her head bent over the stocking she was contentedly darning, was an actual eyesore. He had fitted up a magnificent home that would have made a perfect setting for a princess, and his wife's appearance had not changed a particle from the days when they lived in a tumble-down cottage and he worked In the mines in his shirtsleeves. With the getting of vast amounts of money he had acquired a veneer of manners and tastes that at times failed to conceal the rough and brutal Instincts of the real man. His social horizon was enlarging, but within It his wife seemed to find no as he had done? Why was she complacently sitting there satisfied to remain just as she had been twenty years ago, hopelessly behind the times? And if she wouldn't advance—why should he consent to be held back by her? If she wouldn't go on with him —he would leave her behind. The thought and the resultant decision had their birth suddenly but positively In thfr man's mind. He would make one more argument, one last appeal If Mary wouldn't meet him half way, Mary could stay behind with her everlasting darning and her eternal knitting. She could wash and cook and etew and sew, if she liked, but she couldn't do it In his mansion. But Daniel Slade was no more uncomfortable at having her there than Mary Slade was at being obliged to live in this great, elegant bouse, with Its crowds of servants and its routine, absolutely foreign and well-nigh hateful to her. She knew she didn't fit into her surroundings. She realized her own inharmony. Her attempts to look natural and feel comfortable were pathetic. She felt lost without the task of overseeing the Monday's washing. She was heart-broken because she couldn't personally superintend the making of Dan's coffee. Her life was Incomplete because a hired cook made the bread that was served on the table and because Dan never seemed to miss the evenly brown loaves that had been her especial pride In the old days. Mary Slade was as commonplace as a cup of boiled tea. She was a plain, ordinary, everyday woman, who loved a simple, unpretentious life, with the neighbors dropping in for a word or two, exchanging recipes for muffins and debating the proper way to season a stew. There was neither charm nor comfort for her In the vista of rooms opening out from the spacious library. The from her hands, leaned forward eagerly toward the light and frowned as be read: '•Should Daniel S. Blade, the exminer, ex-town marshal, ex-sheriff, ex- United States marshal, ex-land boomer and multimillionaire, arrive, it will be interesting to see the governor's lady dusting the gubernatorial chair—probably the only occupation congenial to this kind-hearted and plain little woman." "Dusting the gubernatorial chair," Slade repeated mockingly, cut to the quick by this public allusion to his wife's plainness and lack of social graces. That simple little phrase, stinging as it was brief, was as a match flame to dry timber. It was all that was necessary to bring the hot rage surging through him to the boiling point The sweetness of the little woman's expression, the tenderness of her eyes whenever they rested upon him, the plaintive softness of her voice meant nothing to him then. Through angry eyes he saw only the lack of smartness In her somber brown dress, only the note of absurdity she struck amid the exquUite surroundings of the room he had furnished for her. He thought of nothing but the sorry spectacle she would make at a brilliant dinner or smart function where beautiful women in fashionable chiffons chatted freely and easily of men and things in the progress of the nation. "This is some of Wesley Merrttt's tin-horn tooting writing," growled Slade. "D n his dirty work!" As her husband muttered to himself, Mary had calmly resumed her endless mending of socks, long years place. He wanted, beyond this and brocaded chairs were straight and everything, to climb the political tree | a W t rock. They were high-posted and pick the fruits thereof. His wife seemed not to know that there was such a thing as a political tree to climb. With herself, her husband and her work she was contented and happy. The wives of other men of his position were social queens noted for their beautiful gowns, their entertaining and their clever wit He alone ^ r * * X , ••'".•• ^ - . - / ^ - v ; • ; - ' • • Was a Shabby Little Pralrfe Ptewer Transplanted to a Conservator/. shackled to a woman ha would have b#sn ashamed to Introduce to his friends. Only he was tied to a wife he could not force either by pleading, or argument to enter into the Ufa which meant so much to him. Tonight as he rehearsed in his snind his many unsuccessful efforts to EasJcaJfary^sdvaate and take an interest to Ma life as H was now, rebellion and stilted compared to her own low seated little rocker in the cottage. When she Bat back In them, stiffly and awkwardly, her feet didn't even reach the floor, but. dangled restlessly above the priceless rug that was one of her husband's newest purchases. All big crises in life are the results of trifles. It took the merest incident to crystallize Slade's thought into action. Mary had picked up a portion of the paper after it had dropped from her husband's hands. She started to read the printed page with all the serious importance of a little child trying to do something very big and grown-up. Suddenly her eyes lighted with pleasure and a tender smile of pride and delight Illuminated her features. In turning the pages she had suddenly discovered a picture of her husband, under which she read a simple but significant line: "Daniel S. Slade, a Possible Governor." "Oh, Dan," she cried, happily. "Isn't this a fine picture of you. I could almost imagine it was going to speak to me." Then she paused a little wistfully and doubtfully before she asked: "But do you really want to be governor V* "Want to h e r Slade caught his breath as he repeated her question. Want^to be—when every aim and ambition the last few years had been made in the one direction, toward the one longed-for goal—political power! Want to be—when years before he had turned his eyes on the governor's chair and had been battling grimly, silently, persistently toward that end ever since 1 Want to be—when that was his one ambition, the one thing he had yet to achieve! He sighed wearily to himself. That Mary could ask that question was the beat proof of how irrevocably they had drifted apart Living in the same house with him, eating at the same table, day after day at his side, the little woman knew no mora of bis real self or his ambitions than the merest stranger. "It's a nice story about yer, Dan." Mary want oh, all unconscious of the struggle going on just a few feat away from her—the struggle between the heart of a man that caHs out to the companion of his yo*W, ih^-sharer dY his Joys and struggles and the brain husband to be happy and comfortable, but she wanted to make him happy and comfortable according to her own ideas of what ought to make a man satisfied. She had seen him rise gradually at first and then by leaps and bounds. Now that he had become wealthy and successful she wanted to decide for him that he ought to let well enough alone. To her it seemed foolish to bother about being governor, absurd for him to fret about the way she dressed and did things. So, for awhile they sat In silence and the fire dying down left the room chilly, so chilly that Mary started up to get a shawl. Halfway to the door, she was peremptorily called back by her husband, who, ringing for a maid, dispatched her for the wrap, while Mary, humiliated and with something of the air of a martyr, went sighing back to the big, uncomfortable chair to resume the mending that was such an Irritation to her husband. "Why can't you learn to be waited on, Mary?" her husband asked, not unkindly. "Other women do." "I'm slow—slow and old-fashioned/' the woman answered, quietly, but with an air which plainly showed that she was perfectly satisfied with herself and that she thought he ought to be. "I've never been with women who knew how to do these things. You didn't know any euch people until lately. I don't want to know them," she concluded with an engagingly confiding smile. "But I can't go everywhere always alone," Slade expostulated. "A man's wife ought to go with him and meet the right kind of people—otherwise he's an outsider. What do you think I built this house for? I don't work in the mines any longer with my hands. I've got to use my head. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't dissipate—keep yachts and horses—or women. A man's got to do something. I'm going into public life, and I want to entertain here. You'd have me sit back and take it easy and—rust!" "You deserve everything you've got, Dan," answered Mrs. Slade, inconsequentially, entirely losing the point of his tirade. "You struggled like a dog. Nobody knows, only you and me. We've been through It together." "Well," demanded Slade eagerly and hopefully, "why don't you march along with me then, Mary?" His wife turned to him earnestly. For a moment Dan Slade thought the woman he loved was about to rise to the occasion.

Slade found himself looking at the little woman who had been his wife for twenty years, through lean years and hard years, as faithful and patient then as later, when success first began to come his way, very much as he might have scrutinized an entire stranger. For a moment the tragedy of their present state caught at his soul, and he felt the infinite pathos of the woman's predicament A softer note came into his voice as he asked slowly: "Say, haven't you got any clothes, Mary? Haven't you any of the things other women wear at night—silk or lace or ruffles or—whatever they are?" "Yes, I've got 'em," Mary replied, indifferently, "but it's too cold to wear 'em, and those silk stockings you told me to buy—I can't wear them, either—they tickle my toes. Satin slippers made me uncomfortable, and—" she finished with a bubbling little laugh, "I guess I wasn't made for those things, Dan, dear. I'm too mcch of a home body." He/ very self-satisfied complacency nettled her questioner. The very sight of the darning needle in her fingers maddened him. "Good God, Mary," he exclaimed, "can't you ever stop this endless mending? Havent I begged ydu, day and night, not to mend my socks. 1 won't wear socks all over darns— they're uncomfortable." Just a suggestion of a smile played around Mary Slade's sweet mouth as she answered: "They're yours, Dan. It's the only thing left that I can do for you—now. I can't bear to see strangers touch your things—" and her voice trailed off in a wistful sigh, a sigh which might on any other occasion have made its appeal to the earnest-faced man now gating at her so grimly.

Office and workshlp management has, In some large businesses, been brought practically to the point of a science, London Answers remarks, and lots of curious little facts have been ascertained by those who have studied It Office staffs, for Instance, work best in windy weather, as do all brain workers, the reason being that In windy weather the ordinary more or less exhausted city atmosphere is driven out by volumes of fresh oxygen. There Is the same difference in the quantity and quality of work done in offices as there is between that done In unventllated and well ventilated workshops, and for the same reason. No brain worker works as keenly in a stuffy room.as in an airy one. Damp, dull weather has little or no effect on the output of work in offices, but it has In workshops. Manual labor is less efficient in damp than in dry air, the reason is that the moist air acts as a conductor of electricity and drains away the natural electricity of the body into the ground.

CAU8E AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food* Indigestion and the attendant discomforts of mind and body are certain to follow continued use of improper food. Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook, the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause iota of appetite and indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of cause and effect in their dally food. A N. 7. young woman writes her experience thus: "Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I waa unable to digest scarcely anything, and medidnet jseemed useleee.

SCENE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE President's Private Yacht, the Mayflower, Flying the Colors of the Secretary of the Navy, la In Proceasion. New York—The nation's dead—the 17 bluejackets and marines killed at the occupation of Vera Cruz, came home Sunday. No sun ever beamed brighter than that which struck on the colors of the funeral cruiser, the U. S. S. Montana, as she appeared through the haze of the Narrows, just before noon, at her anchorage off Sandy Hook, where she had arrived at 4:30 a. m. The first glimpse of the Montana and her convoy was most impressive. At the prescribed clip of 12 knots, the XJ. "S~. S. Wyoming led the way. The Montana came along 10 ship lengths away, at the same speed. The regulation distance also separated the president's private yacht, the Mayflower, which was flying the flag of the secretary of the navy. Just as the Wyoming nosed out .of the Narrows, the converted Portuguest yacht, Ideal, flying the Portuguese flags at half-mast, gave the first salute by dipping colors. Instantly the Wyoming responded, while the Ideal crossed the bow to \star^ board. Then the flag-saluting came from ships at anchor on all sides. The caskets were laid out in rows of four on the deck, just abaft the bridge on the port side. The blue-jacket guard of honor stood at attention during the passage through the lower bay. The flags at the quarantine Btation were the only flags that were not half-masted and did not salute while the funeral cruiser was passing. Sunday afternoon, memorial services for the dead were held by the naval branch of the Y. M. C. A. Bands from the Texas and Wyoming and a quartette from the Clinton Avenue Congregational church supplied the music and a n address -wa# delivered by Rev. J. F. Carson of the Central Presbyterian church. Huerta Wires a Protest. Washington—President Wilson received Sunday at the White House, Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil, the ranking member of the South American mediators who are trying to compose the Mexican trouble. Neither the White House nt>r the ambassador would make any statement as to the conference, but the. receipt later of a dispatch from Mexico City stating that Foreign Minister Ruiz had protested to the mediators that several United States torpedo boats wtih a transport and tender had landed a party on Lobos island, eight miles oc the coast, and taken the lighthouse, was believed to have been the purpose of the ambassador's unusual visit to the White House Sunday. Refuse American Hospitality. Vera Cruz—President Huerta's three peace commissioners, Emilio Rabasa, Augustin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero stopped here Sunday on their way to Niagara Falls, Ont, where the conference between the mediators and the representatives of the partis concerned for a settlement of the difficulties between the United States and Mexico will be held. The commissioners politely but firmly declined the offers of hospitality made by Brig.Gen.

SCORES KILLED AND MAIMED Disaster Due to Subterranean Infiltration of Sea Water Which m.T-1^, Caused Internal Exl J ^ ' plosions. ^ - ^ . - i j r * 1 ' - Catania, Sicily—A great earthquake Friday night brought death and destruction to many villages near Mount Etna. The number of dead and injured runs up into the hundreds. The effected zone extends from Zaffarana, the highest village on Mount Etna, to the sea between Acireale, on the south, and Giarre on the north. It includes Linera, the center of the dls- " turbance, Pisano and Santa Venerina. In Linera alone 110 persons were killed and 300 injured. In the village of Bongiardo 13 dead and 27 injured have been taken from the ruins. At Cosentinl 16 were killed and many injured. At Passopomo, 12 persons were killed; at Malati, 12; at Santa Venerir, 6; Santa Tecla, 2; Santa Maria Verglne, 8; Garbali, 4. These villages and many smaller places were practically leveled. For centuries this region has suffered from earthquakes, owing to the activity of Mount Etna. Yet it is relatively thickly populated, as the land is moat fertile, vineyards growing with little attention. Where Linera stood is a mass of ruins. These houses which did not collapse entirely were so broken as ) to emphasize the completeness of the disaster. The village consisted of about 800 Inhabitants. A majority of the people escaped because the shock occurred when the men and some of the women were still working in the fields. From the vineyards they saw their houses falling like a pack of cards, and when they arrived, breathless, at their homes, they found only wreckage with some of their people buried beneath It This accounts for the fact that most of the victims at Linera were women and children. The men, wild with terror and grief, attacked the debris with their bare / hands In an effort to save their wives or children. At Catania the strongest shock lasted six seconds. Electric lights were extinguished and the street railways ware put out of service. The people rushed from the houses, shops and eafts. Many of them jumped into •oats and others crowded into the squares. At the hospitals patients to the courtyards imploring help. Professor Annibale Ricco, director •-f: # the Etna observatory, believes the ^|||ia>ster due to a subterranean infiltration of sea water, which, on reach- *• lng the ignited zone, caused internal explosions. He says this is proved by the jets of boiling vapor which burst forth at several points where the earthquake had caused deep crevices. ILLINOIS MAN FOR EDITOR W. of M.

Tie deputy's sppiaiottt warearoaaed by the surly remark ot a Pftseoer, who had bean rearlaanila^ foe his part a ^ fLght ' In determining the size of a silo the first thing to be considered is the diameter, and this depends on the number of cattle to be fed. When the diameter of a silo is too great the silage is not fed off rapidly enough to keep it from spoiling. This is particularly true when silage Is fed in summer. Care should therefore be taken that the diameter of the silo be not too great for the number of cowa to be fed from it, says the department of agriculture. From thirty to forty pounds of silage per cow per day should be provided for average dairy cows during the time when no other green food is available. The amount varies according to the quantity and quality of dry forage used. After the diameter of the silo has been decided upon the next consideration is the number of tons of silage that will be needed, and this depends on the length of the silage-feeding season. A convenient height for a silo above the foundation is twice its diameter; but sometimes it Is necessary for a silo of small diameter to be higher than this. In such a case It should be well braced.. The silo should, If possible, be located so as to open into the feed room. If such an arrangement is impracticable, it should be located near the barn at some other point and connected with the barn or with the feed room by a covered passageway. The Foundation. To lay out the foundation, drive a stake in the ground at the center of the proposed silo. Saw off this stake at the height desired for the foundation wall, which should be at least one foot above the ground on the high side, if the ground is sloping. The thickness of the wall should vary from ten to eighteen inches, depending upon the sise of the silo, the material of the foundation, and the ground on which it is located. The Inside of the foundation wall should be at leant six inches nearer to the center of the silo than the inside of the staves. Materials and Construction. The material of the foundation may he of stone, brick or concrete. Concrete is preferable under most conditions. Where stone or brick is to be used the earth in the bottom of the silo, except where the center stake stands, may be dug out before the Roup Remedies. - Roup is a.moat contagious disease and any treatment should be «!••& a t the earliest appearance of the disease. It does not pay to treat fowls seriously sick- Kill them and burn the carcasses. In the first stages of the disease, any of the following treatments are recommended: Inject the solution Into the nostrils and on the roof* of the mouth: t Two per cent solution of creolin. 1. Two per cent solution of carbolic add. 1 Peroxide of hydrogen and war tar, ecjual parts. 4. One grain permanganate of pot* ash to an oanoe of w a t e r . ' 5. Kerosene, one drop in each nostril of an infected fowl wall is built thus giving additional silage space and allowing greater convenience in building the wall. The earth should not be dug out deeper than four inches above the bottom of the wall. With a concrete foundation this excavation must not be made until the wall is finished and.the position of the staves marked on the top* of the wall. 8tone. Stone may be conveniently UBed when the foundation will not extend more than one or two feet above the surface of the ground. It should be laid in cement mortar in such a manner that the inner surface will be Bmooth and the top level. Brick. Where bard-burned brick can be secured cheaply, as is often the case near brickyards, they can frequently be used to advantage for a foundation. They should.be laid In cement mortar. with the inner surface of the wall smooth and the top level. If the wait extends more than one foot above the surface, it should be reinforced by laying a No, 9 wire, or Its equivalent on: every second course of brick above the surface of the ground. Concrete. For a concrete foundation, a ditch must be dug before any of the earth in the center is removed. The earth between the two lines that mark the inside and outside of the foundation should be taken out until firm ground below frost line is reached, care being taken to cut the sides of the ditch down straight and to leave the bottom level. Preparing the Concrete. For mixing the concrete, a box about four feet wide, eight feet long; and one foot deep may be used, or a simple floor or platform six by ten feet will suffice. To measure the materials, an empty barrel (preferably a cement barrel) with both enda knocked out will be most convenient •..J-S Feede far Qrowtno Wga, Clover and atfatta are ton bulky to suit the needs of the growing pigs, unless they.are supplemented by nitrogenous fiiriitfsiitrayres - Cow peaa, heaaa. and nsfr aajaj are ail good feeds wawr* ySjpy ..SejS*- 'S^j«giM»^S». „<#Mf .^CjS^ISSS^^BHJr is Renovated Orchard.

Why is it that Denmark produces the feast butter, the best bacon, the best eggs, that have ever been placed upon the markets of Europe?

From fourteen to eighteen Is an age when Danish boys and girls are growing physically and working at practical things, for the young Dane cannot enter the folk high school until he is eighteen. Farm Apprenticeship. The prospective farmer, however, has not stopped his educative proc- Denmark has no rich mines, no great lorests, no water power. The soil, the one resource, is not naturally fertile. In fact, Denmark is a low-lying •expanse of wind-swept sand dunes, with here and there small stretches •of richer soil Much of Its more productive soil is the result of scientific erally he stays on one farm for one Denmark a recognized system of farm apprenticeship for the future farmer.

Chilling winds sweep over the country the year around, and these, with the prevailing fogs, render the climate, an Inhospitable one. Copenhagen has each year only fifty days of -sunshine, and there are only three months out of this twelve during which Danish cattle can be pastured. That l)enmark should be a leading agricultural nation does not seem the plan which nature originally had for these Islands and this peninsula. Man has been no kinder than nature to this little country. In the eighteenth century the nobility and the crown owned all the valuable lands, while the peasantry werVelther serfs or tenants under impossible conditions. Export duties made foreign commerce unprofitable. Early In the nineteenth century economic conditions had only begun to Improve when the Napoleonic wars again spread disaster and poverty over the country. Still a little later Denmark's Germanic neighbors to the south took from the already small nation the province of Sohleswlg-Holsteln. Then Oermany, In the early eighties, built up a high tariff wall which excluded Danish products. The commerce upon which the people depended for their revenues was gone, and the country was still again grievously stricken. Its Present Prosperity. Yet today, In spite of all these handicaps, Denmark is in proportion to its population the wealthiest country in Europe. Eighty-nine per cent of the agriculturists own their own land. Her farmers have been called the best fanners and the most skilled rural business men in the world. Rural Denmark produces the best bacon, butter and eggs ever produced; their pigs turn feed into perk more scientifically than the porkers of any other na* tien; tfielr hens lay more eggs, and their cows are more effective as milk and butter producing machines. These farmers have worked out a system of co-operative marketing so effective that it ts estimated that over ninety per cent of what the consumer "pays for Danish farm products actually reaches the pocket-book of the man who produces it—a rather significant figure compared with the generally accepted estimate that the American farmer gets only from thirty-five to forty-six par cent of what the city consumer pays for his product How has Denmark reached this poai> tlon agriculturally? Why it It that she can produce the best bacon; butter and irlaJM fficient tional system; second* because the government is giving aid which, while affective, is not unduly paternalistic; third, because of co-operation. Danish Farmer an Educated Man. It takes brain* to raise the most aristocratic sort of products that are produced in Denmark, No ignorant people could take the bleak, sandy plains of Denmark and make great gardens of them, gardens supporting a splendid aggressive, progressive, prosperous race. It requires native shrewdness to do these things, but It requires something more.

JAnd the Dana Is indeed in Tary truth in every eeneeof tna wordancducated Be has been trained to make year, moving on to a second and then a third in order that he may get different and broader points of view and may see agriculture specialized along different lines upon the different farms. On these farms he is given an opportunity to learn, but for the most part his time is spent In hard labor. He learns to farm by farming. Folk Schools and Patriotism. After his apprenticeship Is completed he goes for at least a few months to one of the folk high schools, which are in the broadest sense schoolB of patriotism. Inspiring lectures are used for Instruction more widely than are text books. The history and literature of the country Is the theme of many an hour. Every class is opened with a song, either patriotic or religious, and each day extensive readings upon patriotic and religious topics are given. Practical political economy and sociology are Included In the daily work* These schools are privately owned and not absolutely free. The cost of five months' Instruction and board for the men for the winter months is about $65, while the women, who generally attend these schools In summer, pay only about $30 for three months' instruction, including board and lodging. Small as these fees seem to be, the state has various ways of reducing the fees, especially for the sons and daughters of the small holders. The total number of students In these summer and winter schools the last few years has never been less than ten thousand. University Extension* These folk high schools have, too, an extension form of education somewhat similar to the university extension courses given by some of our American colleges. The high school professors frequently go out to the schoolhouses for popular lectures upon history and literature, and upon sociological subjects. Generally a little association Is formed for the course of from six to ten lectures. Possibly one crona (twenty-seven cents) for the year is charged, or- there may be a charge of twenty ora (four cents) for each lecture. Here at the high school building they also hold in the fall a special community meeting for three or Jour days during which three lectures per day on subjects similar to those taught in the school are given, and'in addition man of learning or renown from the outside are brought in. At this folk school the young farmeggs? The answer seemrtssbe: First, fTT,n o **?>*** ]J? ^ ^ 0 ° ^ 0 ° ° 1 because she has an efficient educa- fining, oecausa sne oas an emcienv «»«»» f e a U t i e s ^w itnhtB fa ll^ it s ^cohn0t ahcMt wii6tlht f ntehde in three years' apprenticeship how to farm, has an opportunity to learn how to be a citizen and a patriot But he has not yet completed his school work. Upon the farm he has learned how to do things. He has yet to learn why. So he goes to an agricultural college and learns the theoretical and scientific why which is back of the practical how. This is the story of Danmark's farther in the making, through common school, apprenticeship, folk high school and agricultural college. One has pat to travel through the rare! sections of Denmark to satisfy himself that the outcome^ of this process of education Is a finished product of extremely nigh amcieney. The Danish government is not chary l%the aid waden It extends to the farmer; The aidV however, is always extended open tne^fnne»mental theory that the best way to-help the terseer ^ bast nee o l ^ i m s o q ^ mm to *ef» MntNttf * n * ^renmaat - - -< T e W l*J* o*nt way e e s the govern. ests of agriculture ss In assisting id the acquisition by each farmer of the soil which he tills. Thanks to the Joint activities of the government and the co-operative credit societies. It is easy to buy a farm in Denmark. If the would-be buyer has forty per cent of the price to be paid for the farm and all its equipment he may apply to a credit society for a loan of sixty per cent of the value, the loan to run for from forty-five to seventynine years. Each year the farmer pays from four to six per cent of the principal amount borrowed. This, however, is not wholly Interest, but includes a small installment of principal, so that at the end of the period for which the money was borrowed not only has the interest been kept up, but the principal has been automatically discharged. There are, however, other forms of loans even more advantageous to the borrower, particularly if he be one of the poorer farm laborers. If such a laborer is anxious to become a landowner on a small scale he may under certain conditions, procure a loan for nine-tenths of the purchase price of the farm and equipment. The conditions which he must meet are; He must have been a farm laborer for five years (the law applies to women on the farm as well as men); the land must not exceed ten acres in extent, nor $2,140 In value; he must work the farm in a scientific manner, and must agree to follow a proper rotation of crops and, by the use of manures and otherwise, insure the continued productiveness of the land. For the first five years the laborer pays three per cent interest and nothing upon the principal. After that he begins to add a small percentage upon the principal in order to discharge his debt. At no time, however, does the total annual payment for principal and interest exceed four per cent of the amount borrowed. The government is back of these cooperative credit societies. By benevolent legislation It makes their organization and operation possible; it assists in supervision and inspection, and in some cases it advances to the co-operative society the funds out of which the loans are made. There are In Denmark about half a million families. Including those in cities and villages. Co-operative credit societies have a membership of over two hundred thousand— that is to say, two out of every five families in the entire country seem to be represented in these cooperative credit organisations. In fact, It is because it is so easy to buy land in Denmark that the tenant is disappearing and the small land owner is taking his place. Other Government Assistance. The government has also enacted much other legislation calculated to serve the Interests of the farmer. It has regulated carefully the manufacture and sale of margarine, so that it is impossible to Import or export or sell it under any false representation that it is butter. It has regulated the quality ^of butter and has forbidden the export of butter containing more than sixteen per cent water, of butter for the preservation of which anything other than common salt is used, of butter colored with any substance derived from coal tar. All butter must have been made from milk or cream which has been pasteurised; it must have been made in an Inspected dairy; it must have upon it the Danish label guaranteeing its quality. The sanitary condition in the creameries, the method of packing, snd the process of the sale of butter, are thoroughly controlled by government authority. If any dairy which has been authorised by the government to use a Danish label for Its product violates any regulation or law the minister of agriculture has the right to take away, either temporarily or permanently, the authorisation to use the national trade mark. Butter from foreign lands must not be marked in any way to imply that it has been made in Denmark, and those wishing to import butter must make-a declaration and be properly registered. Co-Operation Chief Factor. Those familiar with, the conditions in Denmark concede that the education of the farmer has contributed largely to the success of Danish agriculture. Every loyal Dane -4s proud of the government which has seen the great importance of furthering the interests of the farmer by every means within its power. But no one who knows, ever for a minute conceives that Denmark could have taken her present position as a produced of the world*! best farm products, without cooperative organisation. It is-because of cooperation that it pays to farm scientifically. The production of the highest gradee of farm, products is made Worth while because co-operation enables the farmer to take these high; grade products to the profitable, in exhanstible, and discriminating markets of the world. It is co-operation that has resulted in better farming, better buetnesa, better living.

Copenhagen, Denmark. — Did you know that the people In New York alone eat one hundred fifty million dozen of eggs every year and that •they cost something like forty-five million dollars? Did you know that an expert has estimated that each year America eats something like one thousand million dollars worth of eggs? How Egga Spoil. When tbefarmer*used to go to town his wife went along with a basket of egg* containing possibly four or six or ten dozen of them. These eggs were delivered to the general country store keeper and Instead of paying for them In cash the merchant gave trade in exchange. The price of eggs was low and when the price was further reduced by translation into sugar or coffee at a high price the results were of no great significance. Egg selling then was in fact a small business. As a small business it was not for a long time developed along scientific lines. The hen laid- only when the weather was good. She laid a fresh egg of course, but it was likely to lie around In dirty nest until time and a summer heat made it a very bad egg to look at and a worse egg to eat. Not all eggs spoiled but so many went bad that scattered through the lot sent in by the farmer they lowered the grade of all so that even the freshest went only as "eggs" because no one knew ,they were "Btrictly fresh." Strictly fresh egga were practically unobtainable as a matter of fact. After the farmer's wife delivered the eggs to the merchant he kept them around a few days or maybe weeks until he had a fairly large Bhlpment. They might be In the cellar and they might be in the back of the store where It was warmer, but at any rate they gained nothing in flavor or quality from his storage. Then he sent them to some merchant in the county teat nearby. This dealer kept them awhile until an accumulation made a shipment possible to the city commission merchant In Milwaukee, Boston 'or Kansas City. They then might be 'told by the commission agent to the retail trade or they might be put in «old storage or they might be shipped to some distant place. But you may Test assured that it was some time be* Ifore the egg laid on the farm found lits way to the breakfast table of the [city consumer. Much time had been consumed, unnecessary expense had jbeen Incurred in going through this alow, unbusinesslike, unscientific system of distribution. But worse than A Pew Danish Eggi. i* fthe delay and expense involved was jtae fact that the egg which started [down the line from the hen as "a strictly fresh" egg had little chance of reaching its destination aa anything t o t a had egg. A Wasteful, Expensive Process. • The whole process is wasteful. Last summer in Missouri literally hundreds 4 f wagon loads of eggs were driven off (into the woods and dumped simply Ibacantt. they had gone bad upon the hand*."ft. those who were not able to -them promptly. Then too the sad damage from breakage Is conand one authority haa estit the handling of eggs by v w l ^ f*ck and ship them is so inyear seventy-five mildollars worth are broken and lost jfj'transportation.

J- • A , • * • pays, kicks again when he finds that the high priced eggs are bad eggs. Contrast this method of handling with the way it is done by the co-operative organizations abroad. Denmark leads in egg marketing as in the marketing of almost every other farm produce. At Fredcrickssund in Denmark, for example, ten thousand farmers own an egg packing establishment. Every farmer gathers every egg from the nest every day. In hot weather he is required to gather the eggs twice a day. At least three times a week he sends in his eggs to one of the collecting points which are located conveniently. Thence they go to the central station. They are good, clean eggs too, for not only have they been promptly gathered and kept In a cool place, but the nests themselves are kept clean and fresh. As the egg Is delivered it is carefully tested; no egg which is bad either in appearance or in substance, passes muster. Every egg bears a stamp indicating who delivered the egg to the association. The farmer who sends in a bad egg is fined. These 10,000 farmers through their manager whom they hired and who Is a highly skilled man, ship most of these eggs directly to the retail dealers in England. The manager, as he himself told u«, absolutely refuses to sell through the London commission men because they demand a percentage which cuts down the profit of the farmer who produces the eggs and raises the price to the city man who eats them. At the moment of shipping he knows Just where there is a demand for eggs and consequently is sure that'the eggs will be promptly accepted and promptly resold. So efficient is this process that within six days after the egg is laid by the hen it may be on the table of the consumer in distant England. During every minute of that six dayB the egg has been so well cared for that It haa had no chance to deteriorate in quality in the slightest degree. Not only does the farmer receive a good price for this egg* but, because the process of distribution is so efficient and inexpensive, the final retail price Is reasonable and the consumer profits as much as the producer. Dutch Eggs. The organization of egg societies has also been taken up by the Dutch farmers, the system adopted being practically the same as that which prevails in Denmark. Local societies are formed and affiliated to a Central Provincial federation, which is responsible for grading, testing, packing, and shipping. The eggs are collected by the local societies and forwarded regularly to the Central Depot. Every member of a local society is furnished with a number, which must be stamped on the eggs before delivery. The eggs are carefully tested, and a member supplying stale eggs is subject to a penalty of one dollar for every egg rejected. • The Association of Co-operative Creameries in Limburg was the first to take up the co-operative export of eggs. The province of Priesland followed. There is a poultry association which works over the whole of Holland, and has eleven provincial branches, but this association does not trade, having been established to protect the interests and develop the industry of poultry farming generally. The Priesland Export Federation was established in 1903, and the total value of the shipments in 1909 was about $100,000. How Irish Eggs Are Sold. A recent activity of the Irish Agricultural Organization society has been the establishment of poultry products association*, patterned entirely after the Danish system already described. This is, of course, about the simplest and easiest form of a co-operative enterprise to establish, as the outlay of invested capital is small, the returns prompt and continuous and the product, at least the eggs, readily standardised. The eggs, in fact are not only stamped, sorted and packed as by the Danes, but the producers are paid for them almost entirely by weight Instead of by number. These co-operative egg companies hare succeeded beyond expectation and the value of the egg exports handled cc-operattrely is eaoot esjaal to 1he dairy exports, although the poultry produce Is of much lass value than dairy produce. . In Germany the eggs are marketed •, r .V • one province of Hanpver there are for example one hundred forty-two co-operative poultry societies. Some of these combine the breeding of poultry or the other forms of co-operation with the selling of eggs. Ninety-eight egg societies, however, are devoted entirely to egg selling and in the year 1910 disposed of 27,500.000 eggs realizing therefrom over $400,000.00 for distribution among their co-operative members. To belong to the society each farmer pays an entrance fee of twenty-five cents; shares in the society cost each $1.25 of which, h o o v e r , only twelve cents is paid down, tiw balance being gradually paid by a distribution of dividends upon the trading Rroflts. The co-operative society at Hanover owns a substantial brick egg house from which 440,000 eggs are sold each year. The collector who is paid 50c for every one thousand eggs collected calls once a week at the farm house of each member of the co-operative egg selling society. The woman who tests, sorts and packs the eggs is paid fifteen cents for every one thousand eggs passing through her hands. The customers are obtained in the first instance through the chamber of agriculture at Hanover, This is a sort of rural chamber of commerce which among other things keeps an up-todate list of customers who are good pay and who are honest dealers. Each week the society ships large consignments to the various cities of the German Empire seldom finding it necessary to export to foreign countries. Experience shows that under thiB German co-operative system of marketing the cash returns upon-each dozen of'' eggs are from three to six cents great- Danish Farm Yard. er than they were when they were sold to the ordinary buyer. On the other hand not a penny has been added to the cost to the consumers, who in the majority of instances get eggs cheaper than they got them before and of better quality. The more economio less wasteful system of marketing makes egg production more profitable to the farmer, leads him to produce more eggs, Increases the supply, and, by the soundest principles of practical business economics, lowers the price to the consumer. Americans Can Co-Operate In Eggs. Nor has the co-operative marketing of eggs been confined to Europe. We have in our own country some excellent institutions which demonstrate that the co-operative procedure which is good for the European hen upon the continent of Europe is good for the American hen upon American soil. One of these is at Dassel, Minn, These are the results in two years: During the first year, the egg selling society handled six thousand dozen eggs, receiving an average of _ five cents a dozen more for their product than was paid for the miscellaneous eggs on the same markets, thus making over $22 per member.v The second year, the association shipped 60,000 dozen eggs with the came success, while the Dassel Produce company (a private concern) shipped 120,000 dozen more in carton box lots. In all, 180,000 dozen eggs were sent from this little town during the year, for which these progressive farmers received nearly $50,000 in cash or $9,000 more than they could have received under the old system, whereas 6nly enough eggs were formerly taken in trade at the village grocery stores to supply the five hundred people living in Dassel. ' Other American Co-Operative Egg Societies. At Hickory, North Carolina, a cooperative egg marketing grew out of and became engrafted upon a cooperative 'creamery business. That the existing co-operative creameries can easily and naturally assume the functions of an egg marketing institution is evidenced by the success which several Minnesota creameries have attained in this line. The co-operative society need not necessarily be a large organisation. The Blue Mounds Egg association of Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, consists of only seven members. The home of one of the members constituted the headquarters of the oonoem. Modest as was this venture it netted the members a very considerable margin above the price which they otherwise would have been able to obtain, Aa the founder .said: I t requires almost no time, the association rums ltaeif.H In fact all that is needed today ft the eonvlation that what has been done elsewhere can ho done in any community. {PolariM r p i c n o N RfDUClNC MO TOP O i l 5,918,098 Gallons Polarine Sold Last Year 1,536,232 Gallons More Than in 1912 The constantly inc r e a s i n g - u s e of POLARINE by thousands of motorists is indisputable evidence of its lubricating; efficiency.

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED Greenwood, Ind.—"First my hair began to fall, then my scalp itched and burned when I became warm. I had plmplee on my scalp; my hair was falling out gradually until I had scarcely any hair on my head. I couldn't keep the dandruff off at all. My hair was dry and lifelees and I lost rest at night from the terrible itching sensation. I would pull my hat off and scratch my head any place I happened to be. "For several years I was bothered with pimples on my face. Some of them were hard red spots, some were full of matter, and many blackheads. I was always picking at them and caused them to be sore. They made my face look so badly I was ashamed to be seen. "I tried massage creams for my face and all kinds of hair tonic and homemade remedies, but they only made things worse. Nothing did the work until 1 used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I washed my face with the Cuticura Soap,, then put plenty of Cuticura Ointment on. Three months' use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment has made my face as smooth and clean as can be." (Signed) C. M. Hamilton, Sept. 24, 1912. . Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Smaller Hats Are Being Worn, But Style* 8how General Increase In Height—Sketches That Show the Latest Modes. In the new hats there Is always a marked tendency to carry up the trimming very high, either by means of a tuft of feathers, which soar straight up toward the sky like miniature spires and steeples, or else by ribbon or velvet drapery, which takes the form of a lofty wing at the side. Tall bows are cleverly draped and wired to give never a hint of wiring, Lofty Trimmings Season's Small Characterize the Hats In Nice. and these seem inordinately popular as trimimings for first-season hats. All hata still incline to smallness, though they tend to become higher in proportion to their narrowness. Take, for example, the two of the Bketch. No. 1 is of navy tagal, with a round crown closely hugged by an upstanding brim which "spreads" a little ftt the top and base. Ribbed satin in a smart shade of burnt orange is used for the huge bow. Two ends are draped over the outside of the brim, while the two loops, cunningly wired, rise above the central knot. No. 2 is a youthful and becoming model, known along the Riviera as the Casino hat. The shape is seen frequently with a crown of chiffon over malines drawn into the bandeau brim of velvet or satin. Several smart copies have been developed in flowered and plain taffetas, like the one represented. An Alice blue taffeta, delicately flowered with little clusters in dull colorings, is used here for the puffed crown. Taffeta is good for this purpose having sufficient body to stand without drooping. The- bandeau brim 1B of black velvet, narrower in back than In front, and there are long black shaved quills, topped with flat feather medallions, set directly in front as a trimming. It can be made extremely modish in an all-black development of taffeta, and for the evening the chiffon crowns will be found quaintly pretty. BLOSSOMS HAVE FIRM HOLD Alt Sorts of Artificial Flowers Hold Place on the Costume That Is 8trlet!y In Style. RIBBONS OF VJVID COLOR Gorgeous Hues Mark the Adornments Which Fashion Has Decreed to Be the Proper Thing. The new, ribbons are gorgeous in yellow, red, pink to deep mahogany, greenish blues and flesh tones. A teninch- wide satin ribbon with a groundwork of velvet flowers in many rich tones makes a beautiful eafih ribbon. Wide Roman striped ribbons in the gayest combination of colors are used for girdles, with a huge up-and-down bow on the left Bide of the front. Two strips of this ribbon are also stitched together, slightly gathered on one edge and worn ae a tunic. A white gown with girdle and tunic of Roman ribbon is smartly attractive. Gold and silver metal ribbons are used for vests and girdles on evening toilets. Tailored hats are trimmed with narrow belting ribbon of grosgrain and heavy rib designs. Hats are entirely covered with overlapping rowe of this ribbon, cleverly adjusted to the frame. Raised polka dots on satin ribbons are also used for hat bands. Persian rug and tapestry designs are of rich dark effects. Such flowers as tulips, poppies, cornflowers, daisies, asters and the open single Chinese rose give richness to brocaded ribbons. Odd Chinese designs of rich, subdued coloring are effective to give tone to a colorless hat or gown, and when touched up with a little gold or silver such ribbon becomes an oriental beauty. DICTATES OF FASHION. The gown that is shirt waisted in the back has gone out of fashion. Young girls are wearing white velvet hats, the edges bordered with a fluted ruffle of moire ribbon. The use of chiffon taffeta Is becoming more general; it forms the basis of stunning afternoon and evening frocks. Clear, fresh, flowery colors are said to be about to follow^the brillfant futurist effects. They are sweet pea shades. The new soft taffetas are being shown in all colors. They have the appearance of soft satin in the way they drape. & /Embroidery wiTh colored dots is one of the features of novelty underclothes. The colors are not delicate, but strong. Sashes and beltB are a feature of children's dresses. Sashes are quite wide. Belts are of suede and colored and patent leather. The tango nightgown is the newest, and resembleB a chemise and Turkish trousers combined. It is said to be comfortable. At the theater women are adorning their heads with wonderful Egyptian bandeaux, set with amber or Jade and very flexible. OF RED STRAW Artificial flowers have their place on dress as perhaps never before. But they represent a particular order of artificial flowers blossoms in satin* velvet and plush—in fact* something Quite new. * As to the velvet and satin and IWae, no dressmaksr could without them at the present, time.

An old law in Carmarthen county, lu Wales, required that every conveyance passing over the turnpike toll roads should be plaiuly marked with the name of the owner so that the perpetrator of any lawlessness could be easily detected. One young farmer known as Stammering Jim was summoned before a magistrate, who demanded why his name did not appear on his two wheeled cart "W-w-whose n-n-name am I to put on?" stammered the defendant "Your own, of course," said the magistrate. "B-b-but it isn't my cart, your worship," says Jim. "Who is the owner, then?" demanded the squire. "T-t-that's the t-t-trouble, sir," said Jim. "The old sh-shafts belong to D-D-David T-T-Thomas, the wh-whwheels b-b-belong to Hugh J-J-Jones, the old axle to W-W-Wllliam B-Bower, the t-t-tab belongs to Joshua M-M-Morgan, the t-t-tail board belongs t-to me.

One American experience recurs to me at the moment 1 had been appearing in "Faust," at Washington, and, getting into the train after the performance, rather tired, was not unnaturally annoyed at finding my stateroom unprepared. I called the colored attendant who kept me waiting a long time before he condescended to appear. "Why Is my berth not ready?" I began. He looked me up and down indifferently. "I saw you play Margaret (Margaerlte) this mornin'," he said defiantly, "»n* I thought you weren't a bit o' good. You'll hev to wait But Plankon (Plancon) was fine," he added as an afterthought. Two years afterward I received a letter from this same ebony critic. "I heard you last night as Manon Leacaut," it ran, "and it was real fine. You beat the band. I take it all back." -Mme.

U. S. SOLDIERS BRING PEACE Orders of Sec. Garrison for Surrender of Arms by Both Sides is Satisfactory to Operators and Strikers. Trinidad, Col.—The fire which burned to death or suffocated 14 women and children in the Ludlow tent colony of the coal mine strikers April 20 was started by the militia or mine guards, or both, according to the verdict brought in Saturday by the coroner's jury which sat in inquiry on the deaths of 26 persons killed in the fire and battle between strikerB and guards and militame". The men who fired the tents with torches, whether soldiers. mine guards or both, were acting under direct orders of Major Patrick J. Hamrook, or Lieutenant K. E. Linderfelt, or both, of the Colorado national guard, according to the verdict. t Some of the witnesses declared tfeat tne soldiers walked among woiB^fi and children who were crawling on the ground and screaming from terro'r, ajd ruthlessly applied torches to the tents. ; Three men Were burned to death early Saturday in a fire which destroyed a rooming house, a saloon and three other buildings at the Oak Creek mining camp in Routt county, on the outskirts of the "trouble zone." The sheriff reports that he was unable to discover any trace of incendiarism and said that, although the miners in the district were not worklag, there was no outbreak nor trouble of any kind. U. 8. Soldiers'Bring Peaee. Peace reigns throughout the territory affected by the strike, which has lasted since September 23. The presence of United States troops in the district has maintained a soothing effect on the hitherto ruffled atmosphere and there is no indication of further turbulence. Under authority of the president, Secretary of War Garrison, at Washington, Saturday issued a proclamation, calling upon all persons in the strike district to surrender all arms and ammunition to the United States army officers. The proclamation of Secretary Garrison elicited the following statement from J. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, at Denver: "The order of Secretary Garrison to disarm both' sides suits the operators perfectly. We told Major Holbrook the day he arrived that we were willing to turn over our arms the minute he said he could control the situation." When shown Secretary Garrison's proclamation, E. L. Doyle, district secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, said: Strikers Anxious to Co-operate. "We understand this order to mean that mine guards, detectives, militia and strikers are to be disarmed and peace maintained by United States troops. This being the case, trouble in the strike zone is at an end, but if the militiamen are to be allowed arms there is sure to be trouble. Secretary Garrison's proclamation it In the most sweeping terms and demands the disarming of not only strikers* but the mine guards. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that the proclamation called on all "not in military service of the United States" to surrender their arms.

MEDIATION WILL CONTINUE Belief in Mexico City Is That Qsnoral Huerta Is Roady to Resign. Cabinet Troubles Show Weakness. Washington—The South American envoys who are acting as mediators in the Mexican troubles let it be known Sunday that General Carranza, chief of the constitutionalists, has refused to suspend operations against President Huerta. It is understood that Carranza is planning to push his army to the south, with' Mexico as the final point of attack. The word from Carranza, it was said, would not stop the plans for mediation. Close associates of Carranza here, say that no mediation between them and Huerta is possible, and that any move on the part of the three mediators to include in their program a scheme for the general adjustment of Mexican affairs will be regarded as being outside the scope of tneir labors. Huerta Is Near End of Reign. Vera Cruz—It is declared in Mexican circles that the dictator's power is on the wane and he is planning to resign. It is rumored that he would have resigned some time ago if it had not been for cabinet troubles. The removal from the Mexican cabinet of Jose Lopes Portillo y Rojas, foreign minister, coupled with reports that there is a growing undercurrent of feeling in Mexico City against the Huerta government, is interpreted here as foreshadowing a change in the situation in the federal capital. Close observers here of the government's situation express the belief that Senor Portlllo's resignation may clear the way eventually for the appointment of a foreign minister, who under the Mexican constitution could succeed General Huerta as president. This would "let Huerta out gracefully" and open the way for Carranza, who has declined te treat with Huerta, to enter into negotiations with his successor and thus facilitate mediation. The effect of the continued rebel successes in the north and the outcome of the pending attack on Tampico may, according to well-informed opinion, bring about a rapid change in Mexico City. GEN.

The old man should be induced to improve his appearance. His sense of pride should be stimulated. Those around him should, without too great a departure from actual truth, tell him how young he looks. An effort should be mads to keep his mind pleasantly employed. The tonic effect of a local happening, which engages the attention of the community, on the aged who are roused to a stronger interest in current affairB is often quite salutary. They thus have something to think about, to talk about. They are taken away from the past and again are in the living present. The aged woman rarely becomes as gloomy and depressed as the old man. She has a place in the activities of the house* hold which can never be a part of a man's life. When through age a man'B occupation is gone, it is difficult for him to adjust himself to tho idleness that follows and to make that leisure a source of happiness rather than of unavailing regret. FORGOT THE BROTHER PART Active Disturbance Followed Elderly Man Effort to Give Help to One In Need. t Suddenly the man with the chin beard, who .was eating the luncheon in a restaurant, reached across the table, touched the button on the lapel of the coat worn by the man directly opposite him, and gave him the grip of the secret order to which they both belonged. "Brother," he said, "I see you're in need, and to live up to my sworn duty I am compelled to—" "In need?" interrupted the other in wide-eyed astonishment "In need of what?" "Of somebody to tell you that a knife is not the proper implement to use when you are eating minced veaL" By prompt action half a dozen wait* era quelled the disturbance that began immediately, but they were too late to prevent the destruction of about five dollars' worth of tableware.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his command In the navy at the outset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in theVaet of robbing a beautiful ?roun? lady. She thanks him for his server and gives her name as MIBS La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Garcia's command In the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader In the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. Holton Is seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from fall* ing into a Spanish ambush. He learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at San Juan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on Jul/ 8. Holton escapes and arrives in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away. After frantic signaling he is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the intentions of the Spanish fleet and witnesses the destruction and capture of the enemy's vessels. Holton learns that Shafter has received a message from President McKlnley declaring that the war was instituted for the sole purpose of freeing Cuba. He learns that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans Is to be held that night to plot against the American army. He gives Miss La Tossa the president's message. He spies on the meeting and hears Cesnola attempt to inflame the Cubans against the Americans. Miss La Tossa denounces Cesnola and reads McKlnley's message. Garcia and his soldiers place Cesnola under arrest. Later he is ordered executed. The Spanish forces surrender and Shafter enters Santiago. t,..;.;;.\ •'•''4 • # * - > ' • ' * • " * CHAPTER XVI. i A Frightful Revelation. Holton's ride back to the cliy was the most forlorn he had ever taken. In the flash of a hand he had been lowered from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair. A "beautiful dream had been lived out, and the bitter realities of waking had come. As he sat before his tent thinking,, a man paused in front of him, holding his broad sombrero in his hand. As Holton glanced at him curiously his face lighted with recognition. "Pierre!" he cried, rising. "What do you want?" The Cuban nodded to him gravely. "Can you come with me, Lieutenant Holton? It is very important" Holton, without replying, accompanied the Cuban. The two hurried along until at length the Cuban stopped in front of a long, rambling, one-story building, evidently used at one time as a barracks for the Spanish soldiers. He leaned down and took off his shoe*, motioning Holton to do likewise. Realizing that the situation was rife with importance, the American sat down and complied without a word. Then, rising in his stocking feet, Pierre took from his pocket a key, unlocked the door, and entered, motion- (ing Holton to follow. After they were 4x>th inside, the Cuban closed the door •and looked it, withdrawing the key And placing it In his pocket again. "She has not arrived yet," remarked Pierre. "I am happy. I feared it would be too late." "Too late for what? Who did you expect to And here?" whispered Hoiton, almost irritably. For answer Pierre squeezed his arm - ^md silently pointed out into the night Following the man's finger, Holton saw the form of a woman alighting from a pony. As his eyes strained fee recognised Miss La Tossa. fey her side Was a man and, as his face turned toward the building, Holton gasped and whispered hoarsely -to hit companion: "Oiveme that key I" -The Cuban's band tightened on hie aim like a vise. "No—come. X am certain now the -way Is dear. I feared ha was below. It is all right Come." Something 4ft the fallow's, m r w t r made Hottoaw obedfcsaoe Tmpttoit IWftheot a word he followed the num.

"I thought that fellow, Cesnola, was dead," he said tensely. For the man with the girl was none other than that of the omnipresent and apparently immortal waiter of the New Willard. Pierra laughed without mirth. "The man Is a devil!" he replied. "The firing party at his execution was selected by an officer friendly to him. They shot over his head. He pretended death. Thus he escaped. General Garcia was tricked by his own men." Holton nodded. "But what is the meaning of all these Instruments?' he asked. "And why have you brought me here?" The man faced Holton gravely. "This tunnel," he answered, "leads under the heart of Santiago. At short distances it is packed with dynamite. This key will release the spark that sets it off. It is the plan that the city and the American soldiers shall be blown to pieces, after which, the Cuban soldiers now gathered on the secret trail, leading into the town, will rush In and assume control." "And Miss La Tossa?" he asked quaveringly, "Senorita has been selected to press the button. I have brought you here to stop her. To save the city, to save the Americans, to save herself, for when that button is pressed she dies here." Pierre sank on his knees. "Oh, Mr. Holton, save her! She loves you. You love her! Save her. You can, and you alone can." Holton struck the man on the shoulder and his voice was stern. "I will Bave her," he paused. "So help me, Pierre, I will!" The candle was blown out and the two waited in the darkness. "But why," whispered Holton, "has Miss La Tosea volunteered for this work?" "Because," was the reply, "the person who presses that button will never leave this place. It Is intended that it shall be destroyed so that no trace of the mystery will ever be found." Holton's heart grew sick. Undoubtedly the girl, in her blind, patriotic fury, had come forward as a martyr to give her life for the country she loved. At the momenUsthere was the sound of a lock turning and then the door creaked. Holton and Pierre were lying behind some wine-casks. The next instant they knew the girl was in the apartment with them. They heard a match strike. Evidently she had lighted a lantern, for a As Hie Face Turned, Holton Gasped* soft yellow glow filled the place. And now Holton, peering through a crack between two casks, saw her. Holton arose silently and stole to a position directly in front of the switch key. When she returned she found him there with arms folded, 'standing as Immobile as a statue. . She did not s e m t * Bar lips parted and she stood^t&Letaris«at him with dilate* e y e * Se thaw stood fo* the spaoe o< a mine** Tt> «©ito*> it sterna* an eternity, n a n ah* apaha.

Before Holton's steady, compassionate gaze, the girl's eyes fell. It was as though some message from the American's heart had reached her. At any rate, her voice became more gentle. "You must leave me, Lieutenant Holton," she resumed. "I—I—'* She paused, realizing what it would mean to have Holton leave her to perform her deadly task of shattering the city and its American occupants. Thia thought caused her to reel. Then, as though with the flashing swiftness of lightning, she sprang toward the officer and threw one arm around his neck, the other reaching over and touching the electric button. "Now, Mr. Holton," she cried, "if you move I shall press—" Before Bhe could complete her sentence Holton raised his shoulder ever so slightly and her finger was thus removed at least an Inch out of reach of the little knob. She tried to spring away from him, but Holton held her. "Miss La Tossa," he began, "I came here because I love you—that is my only thought. I love you. I have loved you since I first saw you. I have spoken to you concerning the Americans as a man would speak to the woman he loves, with the whole truth in my heart I have valked, since I saw yon this morning, with scores of high officers, and I can tell you that what I have already said to you Is the whole truth. "Cstba Is certainly and surely to be left to the Cubans. England, France, Germany, Italy—all great countries have been officially assured by the state department that it Is to be. But first, order must be restored here and the wheels of government set going. To that end General Wood 1» to be appointed military governor, and in good time every single American soldier will leave this island. There is no doubt about that. Ah, Miss La Tossa, believe me! For, as God is my judge, I have spoken only the truth. "One moment," as she essayed to speak. "Losing you is a price too great for me to pay—even when it involves saving my countrymen. No, I cannot lose you—and live. I do not wish to live. And so—you have not believed me. Every look, every word of yours tells me you regard me -as a liar. So be it." He moved away from the push-button and folded his arms. "You are now at perfect liberty to press that button. I shall not interfere. I shall stay here and die with you. That is my wish. Life means nothing now for me." A cry of horror broke from the girl. She stood swaying, surveying the two with staring eyes. Her gaze at length fastened upon Holton, standing there, his arms folded, his broad shoulders heaving, his dark, handsome face turned to her with an expression of great tenderness. Something in his eyes, something magnetic, the power of his great love for her, the intensity of his emotions rlvited her gaze to his face. Slowly, in spite of herself, she crept toward him, fascinated. "Ranee! How my arms have ached for you. How my heart has bled for you! Ranee! Come." With a low cry the girl sprang to him. In his powerful arms he caught her. She looked up at him and kissed her. Her hands caressed his face. She drew his head down once more to her lips. And thus in the darkness, with potential death all about, love, the conqueror, triumphed. face was close te torn tread mau, aoo her .hand, reaching <*tf, came in contact with a knife. IVjli she withdrew, and, standing up, 6r«arbllng. she held it toward Holton. "You must get rU of this!" she cried. "Rid of it! Why?" "Because it is Pjerre'i knife." In a flash Holton saw K all. Pierre, coming out had seen the spy waiting for the explosion. Fi;ied with hatred for the man who had led his beloved Ranee Into this situation, he had promptly paid off the score. "Give me the knife." Holton wrapped the thing in his handkerchief, and in good season contrived to place it where it would never be found, which is getting a bit ahead of the story. In the meantime the two wended their way toward headquarters, Holton leading the horse, the girl walking very close to his side. The recent ordeal, coupled with the discovery of the body of Cesnola, had unnerved her, and occasionally a dry sob broke from her lips. Holton decided that, more than any* thing else, she needed lights, good CHAPTER XVI. The Day of Peace. Ten minutes, perhaps, had elapsed when Pierre, who had thoughtfully wandered away down the tunnel, reappeared with a warning "Ahem!" Holton, exalted to the seventh heaven of happiness, glanced at Pierre, and then striding to the Cuban, he seized him by the arm and led him forcibly into the tunnel again, "Now then, Pierre," he laughed, "yon stay here until I call, or I'll set yon down on some of this dynamite and press the button." - So saying, he returned to Miss La Tossa and gave such an account of himself as a young man very much in love with a beautiful young woman may be expected to gh#j. A little later they made their way out of the building. Her pony was still standing where she had hitched it, but Cesnola and his horse were gone. At least, Holton assumed that Cesnola had gone'from the fact that his horse nad departed. As they walked to the girl's pony, though, Holton, with a sudden exclamation, leaned forward. There, alonoet at his feet, lay the body of a man. The girl saw it almost at the same Instant. "Whet is I t r the asked tremulously, v "A aaaf" was the> solemn reply, Holton lighted a matqh and heat over the body. Then he straightened up as theagh he had been struck in 'thefnoe.

So they went to the Venus restaurant, and there, amid all the brilliancy of its military patrons, the blushes returned to the girl's cheeks and the laughter to her lips. After their meal Holton and the girl Bet out for the La Tossa estate, the girl on her pony and Holton on a horse he borrowed from one of the general's aides. When they reached the estate it was nearly midnight. Ranee was delighted to find awaiting her a message from her father in Havana, assuring her that he was well, and that through force of circumstances he would remain In that city until the result of the present campaign was determined, The girl wept over the letter as she handed it to Holton. "Poor, dear father!" she cried, "i trust he is happy—as happy as—as ." Holton crushed her to his breast. As to the war, but little remained. The fleet of Cervera had been wiped out, and thus shorn ef sea powei> there was really little use In resist* ance on land. So It came about that peace was agreed upon by commissioners of the two countries. It was on this day that Holton, with a long leave of absence, and many flattering official papers in his luggage, stood on the deck of a great transatlantic liner, looking down upon the crowd assembled on pier and bulkhead to wave farewell and Godspeed to friends and relatives who were hurrying to the continent to spend the last brilliant days of the waning summer away from the scenes of bloodshed and disease. Close by his side, with her arm tightly locked in his, was a girl so radiant that she attracted the attention of everyone who passed the little group. She had just kissed her father good-by and he was turning to leave the Bhip. "And you, Thomas," he said, "will not be selfish. You will let my daughter come to me on the estate frequently." "As frequently as she wishes," laughed Holton, "when I am doing my two years' sea service." The father laughed and waved goodby. But just before the ship sailed they made out his figure dashing to the end of the bulkhead. "Father!" cried the girl, "what is it?" Senor La Tossa held aloft an era* ning newspaper. "Peace!" he cried. "Peace has declared." "She turned to Holton. "Peace," she smiled. Holton pressed her arm.

Evidence was strong against him, but the young lawyer appointed by the judge to defend the prisoner put up a strong plea and Abraham was acquitted. A little later counsel and client met outside the court house. "I worked hard for you this morning, Abraham,** said the lawyer, "and the court pays me very little. There is a big wood pile out behind my house and you had better work on it two or three days and pay your part." "Yes, suh," replied Abraham, "but couldn't I pay you in money 'stead o' work?" "Money?

Washington.—Immediate investigation of the Pere Marquette railway, in accordance with a resolution introduced in the house by Representative L. C. Crampton of Lapeer, Mich., is promised by an order issued Saturday by the interstate commerce commission. With the assistance of Chairman Adamson, of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, Congressman Crampton had not only convinced the commission that there was need of haste, but also prevailed on tt to place the Pere Marquette first on the list of railroads to have their physical valuation determined.

Lansing, Mich,—One of the things which will be recommended to the next legislature by Governor Ferris will be the establishment of a reformatory for women. This announcement was made by the governor following a meeting of the state board of corrections and eharltles and the board of trustees of the Industrial School for Girls at Ladrlan. "The need for such an institution Hn Michigan is great," said the governor, "and I wonder it has not been established before this." It was also decided that a number of epileptics will be taken from the lapeer home to the new institution at ;WahJamega, and the room thus ere* iated used for some of the feebleminded girls now at Adrian. The teaching force at the Adrian school will also be reorganized and scientifically trained teachers added. Will Hunt for Geld. I Ishpemlng, Mich.—John A.

(Prepared by the UnlUd States Department ol Agriculture.) The department of agriculture as the result of a great demand for information relating to the construction of dairy buildings started a line of investigation through its dairy specialists for the purpose of developing the basic principles of .such construction. In order to make the work thoroughly practical, these studies were extended to the planning and actual supervision of construction of a number of dairy buildings in different sections of the country. Few localities will require or even permit of the same treatment so far as exposure, size, form, or building material are considered, but the problem of light, floors, ceilings, etc., are nearly alike in all cases. 8table for 24 Cows. The plan shown is designed for 24 cows, and allows ample room for calf pen and box stalls for bull and cows, also space for feed room, hay chute, wash room and silo. The amount of space allowed for the various purposes will meet the usual requirements. The arrangement of the space can be adapted to the needs of th_e particular location. 8peclal Features Common to All "Well- Planned Barns. The width of this barn is 31 feet 4 Inches outside. This allows ample room for the stalls and passageways. While the length here shown is 73 feet 6 inches, this depends on the number of cows to be handled. The side wills are built of brick or concrete up to. the window sills, the balance of the walls being frame. The end wails are constructed of brick or concrete up to the celling. A parti* tion extends across the barn so that the cow stable can be, entirely shut off from the rest of the barn. Windows. One of the faulty points In ordinary barn construction is the small amount of window space usually allowed. This plan provides approximately 6 square feet for each cow. It will be noted from the elevation that the windows are sliding Bash extending to the ceiling, making them nearly twice as high as they are wide. This arrangement will admit much more light than the same space if the windows were placed otherwise. Manger. The manger Is planned to be 2 feet wide and 6 inches deep, with slightly rounded corners, the front sloping at an angle of 45 degrees and the bottom being 2 inches higher than the floor of the stalls. «. 8talls. The width of Btalls is 8 feet 6 Inches, which is as narrow as should be allowed. The depth is Indicated as 4 feet 6 inches, but this may be varied according to the size of the cows in the herd. The manure gutter is 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep. Floor. The entire floor is concrete, 6 Inches-in depth when finished, laid over at least 6 inches of cinders or RAPE PASTURE FOR THE HOGS broken rock. Concrete is considered the best material for several reasons: (1) It is sanitary; (2) It is economical because of its durability; (3) when a reasonable amount of bedding is used It is comfortable to the animals and no bad effectB result. The floor is Intended to be raised about one foot above the level of the gorund to insure drainage. Alleys. The alleys behind the cows are 4 feet wide. Manure should be taken away from the barn daily and deposited in a manure shed or on the field, and the alleys are designed with this in view. It is undesirable, from the standpoint of construction and sanitation, to have a manure pit under the stable. Calf Pen. A comfortable calf pen should be provided, effectively separated from the milking herd. The one shown is 21 by 11 feet. Individual stanchions are provided for feeding calves grain and milk. Bull Pen and Box Stalls. These are approximately 10 by 10 feet. There is a full window in each stall, providing an abundance of light This is centrally located; two grain chutes from the upper floor. A hay chute from the loft above deposits the hay conveniently to the feeding alley. Watering. Watering devices may be put In the stable or provided for outside at the option of the builder. - 8torage of Feed. There is no objection to storage above the cow stable proper so long as the floor is similar In construction to the one In the drawing, so aa to be kept perfectly tight Ceiling. In colder climates it is deemed better to have a comparatively low cell-~ ing on account of temperature, and this construction admits of changes In this respect Ventilation. The plan adapts itself to any system of ventilation. The openings shown give suggestions as to where the fresh air may be taken in and the impure air discharged. Rearing Calves. The man who plans to rear his heifer calves should bear this point in mind: Vitality is one of the most important things to be developed, and It is obtained only through liberal feeding and proper care. And this is only partly true, for, unless the calf is well-born to start with, the best care and feeding will not produce a profitable cow. Very Rank Growth on One Acre May Supply Feed for Tweflty-Flve Head —Seed In 8prlng. (By DEAN MTJMFOim of the Missouri Experiment Station.) A good growth of rape will supply pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre. A very rank growth may supply feed for 26 head. Where the feeding is to extend from 10 to 14 weeks it U advisable to pasture rape at the rate of 10 to 13 head to tke acre. The favorable time for seeding rape is in the spring as soon as danger of hard freesing is past It will furnish pasture from the middle of May until the third week in August Hape will withstand ligfit frosts; but not. h*M~ froatlnf The beet remits ate obtained when oats and oiover are sown with it flow front it* to se-ren pounds of rape ahead of the *riB and then drill tn one-half baefcet of oats and. etc to ten.ponods of ekrrer seed to tkonere. The rape and oats will eerwe an * eovtr crop tor the ekrrer and wton&y a good stand of clever win be s Soil for Fruit Trees. As a rule it will be better to use land for some hoed crop the year previous to planting fruit trees, although a- clover sod could be plowed under the previous fall to even better advantage. obtained that may be pastured with hogs the following year. If rape is not grased too closely in June and July, so that the stalk of the plant is eaten off, it .may grow up and make fall pasture. It should never be pastured so closely as to destroy all leaves on the stalk; and stock should not be turned on untn the plants are from 14 to 18 inches high. Complarnt—is - sometimes made by feeders that scabs and cores form on the ears and backs of the hogs on rape. The remedy is to move the hogs to another pasture for a short time and then dip them or apply sulphur and lard to the sores. Rye Meaj for Cowe.

The Trlpotium—Milk Depot and Milk Wagons Owned by 100 Farmers. OO0»»»»O»POO' Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing How It Is Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW 8. DUDGEON. iCopyrtg&t. 1914. Western Newspaper Union. > » » » » » « « » » » » GETTING GOOD MILK INTO THE CITY. Copenhagen, Denmark.—Would It not be a relief to you if you knew where you could get absolutely good milk, and cream, and butter; If your milk and cream were guaranteed to be rich, and pure, and« fresh; if you could buy a brand of butter which was always up to standard, always had the same flavor, and the same amount of moisture in it, was never over salted or under salted, and was always absolutely free, from taint of age. Most of us in America get good butter and good milk at times. All of us get bad butter and milk at least occasionally. Over in Denmark there is an entire nation which Is united In a common purpose of producing good milk and butter. Its success Is due to team work; the, cow does her part, the farmer does his part, the creamery does its part, the delivery man does his, and the government itself takes a hand in the process. Not very long ago there was a complaint from England that the quality of Danish butter was falling off. It was treated In Denmark as IT the national honor had been attacked and every reasonable complaint was attended to at onoe by the united aotlon of all concerned. It was not a local question, but a national one. Primarily Danish butter and milk is good because the Danish farmer is scientific in his methods. But the milk after it leaves the farm is dealt with by the distributive agencies in a way no less efficient, and scientific and businesslike. This is where the Danes surpass the Americans, and with the result both consumer and producer in Denmark have occasion to be satisfied. Why American Milk Is High to the Consumer and Low to the Farmer. Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, now director of tbei government bureau of rural organization, who at one time made a thorough investigation of the prices of farm products, says m his book on the "Principles of Rural Economics" that the milk for which the dealer in Worcester receives 2%c per quart sold for eight cents in nearby (baton. Milkmen drove all over the ''isjsjfrtb. deliver a few gallons of milk. sss» ssss^it^aA '' eHsT. •SjPSSsttWrJSl M * * r a * tat could deliver on one street consecutively from hous* to house making It unneceasary for any other delivery man to follow him up or duplicate his delivery route, the work could probably be done for one-half cent per Quart certainly for one cent per quart Another reason for the high eight cent price was that the farmer sold the milk to a contractor, (the contractor seems to have been a speeula- -* tor), who took out a profit of 2%c per quart raising the price at least two cents higher than It otherwise would nave been. The account stands thus: AS It-IS 8h*tt\dB aflHrnnn't p,trioicne c!*o»s•t• »«•• s fe&MBt is. It-Is Cents. . . . J * ••••ja Is J - S t o l * t o « a ble to do the business in this way. There is nothing mysterious or secret about it. This co-operative association, is a simple, business-like organization of dairy farmers, backed by good business men operating on sound, scientific and business principles. There is delivered every morning to local private consumers in Copenhagen 85,000 bottles of the best milk in the world at a price less than six and a half cents per quart; some of this milk comes forty miles, but it is handled so well that three cents pays all expenses and profits between the farmer and the consumer. For the same service performed In a less sanitary way taking a longer period of time, involving more waste and more contamination the Boston consumer pays five and one-half cents. Here is a saving in cost Of distribution of two and one-fourth cents per quart. If this could be saved to the milk consumer in Boston it would amount to about $10,000 pay day of $3,650,000 in a year. How many lives would be saved by absolutely pure milk at the reduced price no one knows. In order to see the Trifollum milk depot at its busiest we planned our trip to reach the establishment at 10 p. m., about the hour when they begin to fill their 35,000 bottles of milk for the morning delivery of the succeeding, day. In the office we found Director I. G. Smith, a skilled, trained man who knows the scientific side of the operative as well as he understands the business methods necessary to make a big plant a success. With him was the association's bac-v terialogist, Dr. Carl LInd, a highly skilled specialist Originally edw cated in Copenhagen he Is a graduate of an English scientific school and has also studied dairy chemistry and dairy bacteriology In Switzerland, Germany and France. The moat striking characteristic is the immaculate cleanliness that everywhere prevails. The entire establishment is absolutely free from dust and dirt Not an odor can be detected. The association furnishes the employes "with working 0164214% and itself launders them and qus^SSJSBS^Br, w V W - *awS< IMMIBSJ SaSB^p... j^j tie* * * * * • * * • atsftjni .feLfrpk **» is of the grade known generally as certified milk. In addition to this they sell a special high grade called "infant's milk." The milk that goes into the bottles so labeled must have been produced during a certain part of the • ovine lactation period. The cows must have been excluded from fodders which are inclined to give taint or unpleasant flavor to the milk. The milk must have certain high percentages of butter fat The quality and purity of this grade of milk is most carefully guarded, and it goes out only in sealed bottles or cans to families and hospitals. Skimmed milk and butter are also sold. Three different grades of cream are placed upon the market—the rich whipping cream, the medium cream and half cream. In addition to this the finest of cream cheese and the highest grades of butter are made and Bold. A particular brand of butter milk which has proved popular and profitable is known as Bulgarian Yoghurt This Is similar to the product which is said to have made the Bulgarians a race of centenarians. Its valuable qualities are due to fermentation produced by the bacteria of the Bacillus Bulgaricus variety. It is said to be a digestive aid of great effectiveness. Altogether the company takes in annually for its products the considerable sum of $4,150,000. Profit* to the Farmer. At the time when the milk is delivered to the concern the farmer is paid a little over two cents a quart This is exactly the same price which others are paid for their milk by the distributing companies. In case of the man who delivers to one of the joint stock companies this is all that the farmer ever receives for his milk. The farmer who is a member of this cooperative concern, however, at the end of the half yearly period receives a dividend which amounts to about one cent per quart. At the end of the year there is generally a small additional surplus, so that the farmer has altogether received over three cents a quart for his milk, almost one cent more a quart than the person selling to the private distributors. But this Is not all. The farmer has invested absolutely no money in this co-operative concern. Yet at the end of the 20 years the 100 farmers are In possession of a plant which is probably worth $200,000 and which has been accumulated out of the profits of the establishment. This is the property ot, those who have delivered the milk to the concern. It belongs to them in proportion to the amount of milk which they have delivered, taking into account, in every case of course, the quality of the milk as well as the quantity. The average farmer has then from his milk, in addition to the price which he has already received, made a profit of $2,000 for the 20 years. Cheap to the Consumer. On the other hand, the priceB paid to the co-operative concern by the private taker is extremely moderate. For the ordinary quality of milk, which corresponds to our certified milk, he pays about six and one-third cents per quart. For the special milk, the infants' milk and the hospital milk, which is of a quality seldom found in American cities, the consumer pays seven cents per quart. Quality First It is to be noted that this co-operative milk company succeeds, not because it Is co-operative, but it succeeds because it stands, as do other co-operative concerns, for the highest possible quality in its product It strictly enforces rigid rules relative to quality and takes every precaution to Insure cleanliness and purity. Some of the requirements which it enforces upon those who furnish milk to it are as follows: First, there must be a monthly inspection of the cows by the veter- "ij U|i—ftlsai the distributing ensajntiy; #e»jsjip»f?*J»>unhealthy or de- And He Was a Lawyer Himself. The autobiography of Thomas Jefferson contains the following: "I served with General Washington in the legialature of Virginia before the Revolution," wrote Jefferson, "and, during it, with Dr. Fraukliu In congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great pointB, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, talk by the hour?" That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected." Last Resort. "Do you think women should propose?" asked the paBse lady. "I don't know," mused the young thing. "Have you tried everything else?" That Cynic Again. The cynic believes the bonds of matrimony would be more popular if they paid cash dividends. Housework Is a Burden It's hard enough-to keep house if in perfect health, but a woman who is weak, tired and suffering f rum an aching back has a heavy burden. Any woman in this condition has good cause to suspect kidney trouble, especially if the kidney action seems disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thousands of suffering women. It's the best recommended special kidney remedy. AN INDIANA C A S E "BvtvPtCtut* TtXUa tHary." Mra. Mary A.

It should never be brushed or combed long enough to irritate the scalp ; a good brushing once a day is sufficient. The roott* of the hair are very delicate, and too much brushing injure* the roots of the hair and may cause it to fall out. It is also very injurious to use a fine comb ; this is sometimes resorted to by the inexperienced to remove dandruff. We will later give direction for the removal of dandruff without injury. Comb the hair with a comb having large, blunt teeth, no matter how fine the hair is; if a brush is used, select one with close, pliable bristles. Part the hair in the center from the forehead to the nape of the ueck, take on* side at a time and brush downward the entire length. This brushing will keep the hair soft and glossy as well as keeping it in a perfectly healthy condition.

Tha Spaniard Boils Hia a Minute and Then Drink* Thfcm Down. How do you eat an egg? Ta a stranger the manner in which you eut this part of your breakfast may indicate your nationality. Nearly every nationality has some especial way of cooking und serving eggs for breakfast, aud, quite unconsciously. the average person's order of eggs will reveal his nationality. Americans are said to prefer poached eggs. The foreigner when traveling who sees a man order a couple of eggs poached on toast almost immediately jumps to the conclusion that only an American could have given the order. Hard boiled eggs, served whole, are another American dish, and "deviled eggs," where the yolk is mixed with various condiments, Is strictly Amert* can. Fried eggs, too, are more com> mon in America than elsewhere. Hard boiled eggs are eaten in Gejf many, too, but they are usually pre* pared in a glass, chopped with butter, salt and pepper. The German likes bis soft boiled eggs very soft, indeed, and breaks the contents into a china cup, eating them from the cup. The "egg cup" is an Invention of Germany, but the German cups are large enough to contain several eggs. "Sour eggs" are eaten in Germany too. The average Englishman likes his egg boiled for three and a half minutes, no more and no less. He is particular about the time. He prefers a small egg cup that holds one egg, the shell of which Is not removed. The Englishman then removes the top of the shell. Bread and butter, instead of the toast of the American, is eaten with the Englishman's eggs. The Frenchman removes the top of his egg, too. but then he stirs the contents vigorously and adds bits of bread and butter to the egg. Sometimes squares of bread are dipped into the egg. No Spaniard would dream of letting an egg boil three minutes—that is, if he prefers his eggs prepared strictly In the native fashion. The .egg is allowed to boil only one minute and is then broken-open and the contents poured into a glass, the real Spanish, epicure drinking it off as If It were water. IB Italy eggs, to be perfectly prepared are started on their boiling by being put into cold water. When the water comes to a boil the egg Is done. It Is eaten on a large plate with bread. —Chicago Tribune. •rSL; • • • . < • ' More Wholesome F o o d From Stott'ft Diamond Flour It is not the amount ci Bread you eat so much as the quality of the bread.

Vera Cruz, April 24.—The stars and etripes wave over Vera Cruz, but only after a heavy loss of life to the attacking force of American marines end bluejackets and to the Mexicans who defended the city. A dozen Americans were killed and from 250 to 500 Mexicans were shot down while persistently resisting the advance of the United States forces. More than two hundred Mexicans were taken prisoners and lodged on board the protected cruiser San Francisco. Acting under orders from Rear Admiral Badger, American sailors and marines started early Thursday to clean up the city and to capture or drive out the "snipers," or Mexican sharpshooters, who have kept up an fc~% '•P''-«. « l •*».' ; ' *r%f+\t , since landing forces first touched Mexican soil on Tuesday. Detachments of Americans made an organized search through all houses flanking the streets. In some instances the hidden Mexican irregulars gave battle and hand-to-hand fighting in the dirty, dark rooms of the adobe buildings followed. Throughout the night sentries drawn from the ranks of the sailors and marines paced through the streets, keeping a keen outlook for bands of prowlers. Most of the electric-lighting system had been destroyed by the bombardment of the Prairie and the Chester and bonfires were lighted in the parks and upon the water front 8entrlea Fire on Prowlers Moving Through 8hadows. At times the powerful searchlights of the American, men of war swept the sand dunes north and south of the city or lighted a brilliant path along the harbor front. On shore the stillness was punctuated by the crack of rifle fire. Sentinels who passed steadily to and fro at times fired upon forms which moved with suspicious stealth through the shadows. The fire occasionally was7 returned and from time to time the scattering shots seemed to resolve themselves Into mild volleys. Most of the 4,000 sailors 'and marines slept in the open, wrapped in ' thick service blankets, for the nights are chilly and a fog blew in from the harbor. The bivouac of the American army in the streets of the partially blasted city made a picturesque scene. The moonlight flickered down upon the Bleeping forms and the stacked arms. Army Reorganizing Ten Miles From Vera Cruz. Rear Admirals Badger and Fletcher received reports that General Gustavo Maas, federal commander at Vera Cruz, who fled afthe approach of the Americans, is trying to reorganize a Mexican army near Terjeria, about ten miles northwest of the city on the railway line leading to Mexico City. It was said that Maas had called upon the federal garrisons at Orizaza and Puebla Cordoba to send reinforcements and field guns. These reports did not cause the American naval authorities much anxiety, but they did have the effect of increasing the watchfulness of the Invading forces. Double lines of sentries were posted along the railway terminals in the western part of the city with orders to report at once to the military authorities at the United States consulate If they saw any large bodies of Mexicans. Marines on Polios Duty to Prevent More Disorder. American Consul W. W. Canada and Rear-Admiral Badger Thursday prepared a proclamation of martial law and sailors and marines will be used for police duty throughout the city to prevent disorder. The battleships Michigan, Louisiana and Minnesota, the latest to arrive, Anchored in the inner harbor so as to make the landing of additional sailors and marines easy. Sailors detailed to mortuary duty reported that the heaviest loee of life among the Mexicans occurred around the naval academy and arsenal, which rwer% vigorously shelled by the Arkan- «as late Wednesday. This bombardment was brought About by a fierce attack upon Americans by Mexicans who had taken refuge far tfeott buildings, •bout M0 Mtxicant barricaded themsorraa in the jmral academy and opened a brisk rifle Art upon the American sailors and mafia** maned in the market pilot.

Temporary Hospitals Are Established in the City. Temporary hospitals have been established throughout the city, the chief one being in the Plaza hotel, of which Dr. Elliott of the dreadnaught Florida is in charge. Members of the American Medical corps have been installed in San Sebastian hospital, where there are a number of wounded Mexicans. Early Thursday a number of machine guns were brought ashore from the newly arrived battleships, some of them being posted on the flat roofB of the adobe houses. Sunrise found the roQf of the Parochial church, the tallest building in the city, swarming with bluejackets ready to pick off anyM I Mexican "snipers^ that might show themselves. A machine gun was placed upon the roof of the Hotel Diligencia, which was in the line of flre, and was badly shot up. All the windows were broken by bullets. Other machine guns have been planted around the railway terminals, the custom house, the United States consulate, the post office, the cable office and other structures. British Tars Cheer U. S» Marines Hurrying to Attack. One incident occurred during the landing of American reinforcements which shows the spirit of friendship among the armed forces on the big international fleet A Mexican sharpshooter had been taking pot shots at British sailors on the cruiser Essex, and Albert Klmber, paymaster, had been wounded. When several whaleboats, carrying United States marines, swept close to the English warship on their way to the customs house wharf, the British tars gathered at the rail and* cheered with might and main. The Americans have behaved with the utmost gallantry since operations began, and there has been no complaint of any kind. Rear Admiral Fletcher Is proud of his "boys" and sent the following message addressed to the men of the fleet: "The division commander desires to express his admiration at the splendid and efficient work of the naval brigade which captured Vera Cruz and efficient support of the cruisers, which reflects great credit upon the accu* racy of the fire of the gunners. "During the night the Americans on the western side of the city captured a number of straggling Mexicans, most of whom were armed with rusty, old muskets. The freight sheds were turned Into detention pens and the prisoners were locked up until they could be transferred to the warships. "Many -of the Mexican dead were also buried during the night without any attempt at identification. Practically all were men of low caste, whose fighting had been without a single spark of patriotic animation." Work preliminary to the seizure of the railroad from Mexico City to the eastern seacoast already has been done. 8cldiers Ordered Not to Drink Vera Crux Water. The American on the firing line suffered greatly from lack of water* They were under orders not to drink the city water for fear it might eontain poison, and most of them had exhausted the contents of their canteens. A number of Mexicans, mostly women with babies in their arms, appealed to American sailors and marines for food.

WILL ATTEMPT TO SETTLE TROUBLE 80UTH AMERICAN REPUBLIC8 OFFER GOOD OFFICE8 FOR MEDIATION. UNITED STATES ACCEPTS Conditions Imposed By President Wilson Include Elimination of Huorta in Mexican Affaire. Washington.—Pan-American diplomacy Saturday night made its first attempt to solve the Mexican crisis by peaceful negotiation. The United States government accepted from Argentine, Brazil and Chile a formal offer to act as intermediaries in the present situation, but reservedly pointed out that an act of aggression by the military forces or - hostile demonstrations toward Americans might upset hopes of immediate peace. Coincidentally with the acceptance of the offer of mediation, administration officials announced there would be no cessation of preparations by the army and navy for future emergencies and no orders would be issued to the naval forces now: at Vera Cruz or the ships at sea changing original plans. No further steps, however, to obtain reparation for the indignities which gave rise to the present situation will be attempted, while the effort is being made to bring about a settlement through diplomacy. Although the offer made by the three South American countries did not reveal their plans, it was learned that they oontemplate a broad settlement of the Mexican problem through the elimination of Knerta on which the United States has insisted from the beginnings Notification of the offer of intermediation was sent met only to the diplomats representative* of Argentine, Braail and Chile in Mexico Olty, but,to Otn.

Friday say two Americans were killed by mobs in the streets before the train left. Rioting was going on at that hour. The American elub had been Set on fire three times and the windows in every American-owned store in the city had been broken, The American grocery store had been burned and looted. The German ambassador, Admiral Von Hlntze* at Mexico City, has refused point-blank to comply with a demand made on him by federal soldiers to surrender 200 rifles with which the embassy had been provided for its own protection. Von Hintze informed Huerta personally that "if you get the arms you will have to fight for/them." Villa and Carranza Differ. El Paso, Tex.—Surface indications Saturday were that Carranza and Villa are in disagreement over the attitude the constitutionalists should assume toward the United States. Carranza send out a message saying he prptests against the Ameican invasion and declaring the Mexican people will fight against the Invaders to the last breath. Over in Juarez Pancho Villa said: "My personal wishes are that the United States continue to blockade Vera Cruz and all the Huerta ports." That indicates a break between Car rania and Villa and raises the question which is the stronger. "I shall not be surprised if Villa places Carranza under arrest," said one man who had been campaigning, with Don Panoho. "Villa has Carranza where he can play with him as a cat does with a mouse," declares another intimate. "The cat sometimes seems to sleep, but let the mouse try to get away and how Quioxly the cat's paw crushes it" "Will the other constitutionalist generals stay with Vflla?" a friend of the brigand-general was asked. "They wilL" "How does Villa knewr x "Ho has been in telegraphic communication with all of them." The United Statos federal omccrs here hold this same view. They, regard Villa as the dominating figure and are negotiating with him as such to the exclusion of Garraasa. Villa's exact words, as reported by the friend to whom ha made tho statement, were: "My personal wishes art that the United States eoatmutee to blockade Vera Cms and all the Huerta porta. If the United States will do this, we art sure to hare tho tontUtutttonUat army m Mexico City Is a short time.

The interests of the Huerta govern* ment in the United States were taken; over by the Spanish embassy when. Charge Algara asked for his passports and left Washington for Canada. Ambassador Hiana received the offer of good offlcee from the three peace envoys Saturday night, after the offerhad been accepted on the part of the- United- States by President Wilson- It was cabled at once to the Spanish, minister at Mexico City and by himt presented to President Huerta. The South American diplomas areready to proceed with their plan, nointimation of the nature of which R& yet has been given*. It has been generally understood here, however, that, the peace envoys expect to deal directly with the situation created by tho resentment of the United States government against the Tampico incident and other offenses against its honor and dignity, hoping to bring abouc a* peaceful settlement. Wilson Hopes for Peace. Administration officials "here appeared to be much gratified at the prospect of having the proposals of the great South American republics listened to by Gen. Huerta. President Wilson, hopeful, though not confident that war may be" averted through the efforts of Argentina,. Brazil and Chile, conferred with Secretary Garrison, aproving orders for the Joint Jurisdiction of the army and navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity. Vera Crux Under Wartlal Law. Vera Cruz—Rear-Admiral Frank P. Fletcher Sunday placed the city of Vera Cruz under martial law, ending: the quibbling with Mexican officials over the form of government. Under this proclamation it is expected that more Mexican officials will agree to return to work. Robert Diaz, the mayor, has opened his office, and schools have been re-opened. The hope that General Huerta will permit the Americans now remaining In Mexico City and other interior places to leave Mexico has been given up. The train which was sent out at 6:80 o'clock Sunday night to meet a train expected from Merico City carrying refugees, returned late at night and Ensign Lowry, in command, •reported that there was no trainfrom Mexico City at the break in the railroad. Lowry also reported that the fed*- erals, who have been operating therailroad, had more than 1,000 peons at work, tearing up the rails and throwing them into the water and! burning the ties. The peons and Mexican federals are apparently working in the direction of Mexico-, City, destroying the railroad. Bulletins were posted at the consulate and in other conspicuous places.

While dinng at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful {roung lady. - She thanks him for his servce and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton ts ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton •he is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United fitates. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He eaves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He det& ese a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans i"n the Interests of- th- e - Spaniifa rds. Holton is seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling into a Spanish ambush. He learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at San Juan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army .and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on July 8. Holton escapes and arrives in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away. After frantic signaling he is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the intentions of the Spanish fleet and witnesses the destruction and capture of the enemy's vessels. Holton learns that Shafter has received a message from President McKlnley declaring that the war was instituted for the sole purpose of freeing Cuba. He learns that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans Is to be held that night to plot against the American army. He gives Miss La Tossa the president's message. He spies on the meeting And hears Cesnola attempt to inflame the Cubans against the Americans. Miss La Tossa denounces Cesnola and reads McKlnley*! message. CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. T am an American who was set to watch you, a Spanish spy, who, In disguise of a loyal Cuban leader, has been leading your country to the edge of destruction. "Wait, gentlemen, allow me to finish!" Holton cried, as the Cubans, pressing closer, began to mutter. "I can prove to you, and I can do it right now, that this man, Cesnola, was the man who led General Castillo into that ambush at Matamoras, a month ago. I can prove to you that it was this man who conducted Garcia into a trap at Marlel last year. Only be quiet and be patient, I received all you should wish to know concerning him from Washington by the last dispatch-boat. His dossier is very complete. He is a spyl I will prove it. The mercurial men in front of Holton turned from him to Cesnola with frowning faces. The rapid shuttling of events had bewildered them. They knew not what to do. Mlsa &A Tossa, who had Stood by Holtob throughout, clinging to his sleeve as though to protect him from her countrymen, now raised her head to speak when, suddenly, Cesnola lifted something to his lips, and a whistle resounded above the confusion. Silently more than one-half of those present disengaged themselves from the crowd of officers, and the next instant Holton, Miss La Tossa, and perhaps thirty of the Cubans, were surrunded by a ring of scowling men with revolvers leveled ominously. Not a word was spoken. Then from Cesnola there came laughter. "Men," he cried, "it was understood that a fusillade of shots here would be the signal for the attack on the Americans. la thirty second* that fusillade will be heard, and the bullets will go where yon are standing. Those who wish, to engage in the attack upon the Americans will step out of that Croup, join our circle, and present their revolvers as we now present them." ^ For a moment there was silence. Cesnola took out his watch. One Cuban left Holton's side and Joined the circle, two followed him, then three, then six. Finally Holton and the girr stood alone. Cesnola put his watch in hie feoeket and advanced to the conpJe. He beoa± oned to two men, "Take her away from tWe man, He must stand atone,* *e said ' - ,„..

Holton, pale but determined, sought to disengage the girl's hands, while the men dragged gently at her arms. At this juncture a stern voice arose above the confusion. "Men, put up your weapons. What is this?" General Garcia, accompanied by several of his staff, broke through the group of Cubans and stopped near the little knot about Holton and the girl. "Garcia 1" A cheer arose, but the general stilled it with his hand. "Men," he said, "I have been a witness of your deliberations. I can assure you that your fusillade will be unnecessary, because it will not be heeded. Tour plot, I beg to assure you, has failed, Senor Cesnola." He beckoned two of his staff, who advanced and placed their hands upon the spy's Bhoulders. He was trembling now, and words failed his parched tongue. The general waved his hand imperiously. "You gentlemen will return to your commands. Every one of you. Mr. Holton, you will go back to your camp—I am glad to have been of service to you. Miss La Tossa will return to her estate—and remain there. As for you"—he faced Cesnola—" I shall deal with you tomorrow. .Take him to my headquarters and let him be closely confined." Several soldiers stepped forward and hastily bound the spy's arms. Miss La Tossa ran up and kissed the general on the cheek. He patted her shoulder with paternal affection. Then, calling two of his men, he directed them to escort the girl through the secret trail to her father's estate. When Holton awoke Garcia had left the tent, but he soon returned, and with a smile asked his guest how he had slept. Holton thanked him, and assured him his slumber had been sound. As they talked thus an officer appeared, and, saluting, addressed Garcia formally. "The prisoner has no complaint to make of your decision, but asks your leniency in one respect." "In what respect?" asked the general. "He asks that he may be shot instead of hanged." Garcia reflected a moment Then he made a little gesture. "Very well," he decided at length. The officer saluted and walked hastily away. "Who was the prisoner?" asked Holton. "Jose Cesnola," was the reply. Hardly had he spoken when the whiplike report of several rifles broke the silence of this beautiful sunlit morning. Garcia' lowered his head. Holton looked vacantly into space. And so, he thought, has passed the waiter of the New Willard. Holton's return to the American trenches was signalized by an honor that brought adequate reward, with interest, for all that he had gone through. This was a dispatch for him from the secretary of tire navy announcing his advancement ten numbers for meritorious service at Tampa, and containing also Information that congress had voted him the congressional medal of honor for gallantry in notifying the North Atlantic squadron of the intentions of Cervera's squadron. An event of the next day was the return of Hobson from Santiago, in company with six sailors who had been captured with him. Holton pressed forward and Joined in the cheers, of the regulars as this quietfaced young man rode through their ranks on the way to Biboney after an imprisonment of more than five week*. He had performed a deed, of signal gallantry, a deed which will live as long as the annals of the American navy live, and as the years go will grow only the brighter. The days went otC. It now seemed assured that the surrender was but a matter of short time, _and .Helton spent the period m enjoying a wellearned rest." At length, on July U, General Torsi and ha* staff rode ©at to 0an Juan to where General Shafter and General Ham and their t * a r awaited him tm- 4e* the " marked the demeanor of all concerned. After a long discussion General Toral and his officers turned and rode toward the city, and the American generals returned to their lines. The surrender of Santiago was assured. The men were jubilant, but many were beginning to succumb to the physical effects of their life in the wet trenches. On the 17th of July, General Shafter, his staff, brigade commander, and a goodly body of troops left the trenches and, with bands playing and flags flying, marched up the trail leading into Santiago, where the surrender took place before the two armies. Then the march continued into the city. The Spanish soldiers, some twentytwo thousand men (Holton had underestimated their number), were to be shipped to Spain, and nothing remained to be done but to assume the reins of military government and set things in order. One of the first acts of the Americans was to release political prisoners from confinement, and then as evening fell the lightB were lighted, the bands played in the patio of the palace, the Venus restaurant overflowed with American officers, the streets were crowded with men, women and children. Meanwhile what were the Cubans doing? Many of them had their homes in Santiago and naturally they were anxious to return to them, and had fully expected to do so. Now by official mandate of the Americans they were barred from the gates. Holton knew enough of the fiery temper of these men to realize that Garcia and the other commanding officers must sway great authority over their soldiers if they were to hold them In leash under such a situation as this. He, of course, had no fears that Shafter would be unable to quell an outbreak, but at the same time if one occurred it would involve a complication not to be desired. That the Cubans in the camps of Garcia and Castillo were openly talking of an uprising was known to everyone, and not even Garcia's assurances that he could keep them in hand quieted the fears of the more thoughtful among the officers. Yet there was no inclination to allow them to enter the city, the fear that they would turn loose upon the unarmed Spaniards still being potent In the absence of direct orders, Holton hardly knew what to do. His anxiety as to the outcome of the present predicament he kept to himself, not wishing to fill Washington with vague and perhaps causeless alarms. Late on the morning of the day following the surrender he mounted a horse loaned him by a cavalry officer and set out once more along the Santa Ines highway for the La Tossa estate. Soon he reached the lodge and gate which he had entered some nights before. Up the road he cantered, and at length turned Into the driveway leading to the La Tossa demesne. Two horses were tied to posts in front of Pieced Their Hand* Upon the Spy's 8houldtrs, the veranda, but the house itself was not thrown open to the morning air, the shutters being closed. Something about the atmosphere of the building caused Holton to alight from his horse at a bend in the drive. Throwing the reins about the branch of a tjee, he made his way through the underbrush, until looking through the foliage he could see the front of the house. Here he waited. Why he knew not What had come over him? Something inside was dampening the ardor with which he had set out on this Important Journey* and placing his spirits under a pall-of utterly unreasonable fortboding. Ah Incubus of doubt, almost of dread, settled upon him, and try as he would he could not shake it oft And yet what nonsense! Here in the broad light of this beautiful, scintillating day to feel emotions which might be natural to a eejmolgtr! when alone Tn the dark? He could not understand It at a& But neither could he dissipate tfeospeH. At length, with seddem resolution, ed his horse and rooe boldly up th« driveway. He alighted at the doorstep, tethered his steed alongside the two other ponies, and mounting the steps, rang the bell, the eSiiaoell ed which he could hjar jangling «*»d eUttering throughout the house. Awaiting a reply to his Bummoas for some time, and receiving none, he pulled the bell again, now with irritable energy. Almost on the Instant the door was flung open and Miss La Tossa, still in her hunting suit, and accompanied by Pierre, stood before him. She looked at him with cold, inquiring eyes, and Holton with a gasp stopped short. "•\yhy- why—" His voice failed him. As the girl still regarded him with cold, vacuous eyes, Holton flushed angrily. He drew himself up very stiffly. "I—I beg pardon," he Bald. "I fear I—I came here under some sort of a misunderstanding." A gleam of an expression crossed the girl's face. "Pierre," she remarked to her attendant, who stood rigidly at her side, "this is the gentleman we met near Sevilla, is it not?" Pierre glanced at Holton, his face filled with an expression of savage hatred. "It is, senorita," he replied. "Yes, we met this gentleman at Sevilla, Pierre, and he said several things.. Did he not, Pierre?" "Yes, senorita." "And, Pierre, what did he sayT "He said that the Americans were to remain faithful to their promise, and that Cuba, after Santiago was captured, was to be placed in the control of the Cuban army." "Yes." The Cuban girl had not glanced at Holton, who stood listening, rigid and angry. "Yes, Pierre," she repeated; "and so Santiago was captured by the Americans—and the Cubans. And did -the Americans keep their promise, that sacred promise?" "No, they did not, senorita. They refused to permit the Cubans to enter the city, their own city, to attend the surrender." "Yes, and so, Pierre, when this American officer told us our rights would be observed, he did not say what was true. Did he?" "No, senorita. He lied." As Holton leaped forward with an exclamation, the girl raised her hand. "One moment please. I am now going to speak to you direct You are beneath my contempt. As a spy, I respect all that youjlid, save one thing. As a spy you did your duty. You visited the Spanish lines, you pried into the affairs of our army, and you won the love and the friendship of General Garcia. All these things were your duty. But all this did not satisfy you. No. In addition, you set out to win my love." She burled her face in her hands and a dry sob escaped her. "You tried to win my love—" She glanced up at him with fearless eyes. "And you did win my love. You won it unreservedly. It was yours to take. But now I know that it was all the part of mockery; that the love you pretended to offer was unreal; that it was but part and parcel of the game you were playing." Holton, who had been silent, thinking it better that he should hear all before replying, could stand no more. He raised his hand. "Stop!" he cried with a voice of thunder. "Do you know what you are saying?" "Yes, I do." She leaned on Pierre's arm. "Take me away, Pierre." "One minute, Pierre." Holton's voice was low and tense. "Before you go, Miss La Tossa, I wish to tell you something. Anything I have said to you In the past I stand by. The Americans are going to relinquish this country to the Cubans—but that Is a matter neither here nor there. Your manner Is insulting and unfair, Mist La Tossa. I came here today with gladness in my heart—" "With deceit—with more lies!" she interrupted dramatically. "As a spy, I bow to you. You are very clever." Holton straightened, his face white and drawn. He looked at her for a moment searching her every feature. Something in his expression quieted her, and she pointed her hand at him. "Listen," she said. "Last night my brother went Into Santiago with a letter to you from me. He arrived at your quarters. Then be was seized and thrown out of the city for violating the order of your general that Cubans remain at a distance. Perhaps you* can explain why." „ "I cannot I never received the letter." She shook her head. "All that is very little matter," she continued. "That letter contained what 1 have now said' to yon. And it said this besides: That the enemies of my country are my enemies, and that it Is clear that no greater to Cuba than the United Steles existed." She bowed and tamed away.' * Holton stood for a moment wattling her, and then, without a word, faced aemptry about and walked (e> ward his tSree. _ _ _ _ . flflO SA OOMTIMUBJJJ WOMAN COULD NOT SIT UP Now Doe* Her Own Work.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST Pterson, N. Dakota.—"The ecxema started on my scalp. It finally went on to the back of my neck, then on to my back, arms and chest. It broke out in pimples first and then seemed to run together in some places, making a sore about the size of a dime. At times the itching and burning were BO Intense that It seemed unbearable. The more I scratched it the worse It became, and there would be a slight discharge from it, especially on my scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My hair was falling BO terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding relief. My clothing irritated the eruption on my back. The affected parti were almost a solid scab. "I had been bothered with eczema for about a year and a half. Then I began using the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment.

DUDGEON. VOoyyrlj;ht. U14, Western Newspaper Linun. > WILL THE BANKERS REFORM? Copenhagen, Denmark.—The American banker must reform. If he does not he will be up against it as are others who refuse to mend their ways. The American farmer cannot get money of American bankers upon terms suited to his needs. He is going to* have the money from some source. If the banker will not give it to him he will organize a new kind of a bank, for you may rest assured that the American farmer is going to have an opportunity to borrow money upon some suitable basis. The Irish farmer can get money on favorable terms; the Belgian farmer cooperating with bis neighbors does his own banking; In Germany the cooperative banks do a bueiness that is astonishing in its volume; in Denmark it is easy to get money for buying a farm or for temporary investment in seeds, fertilizers or stock. The same is true of the farmer in Italy and France; even in benighted Russia farm credits are cared for by cooperative organizations. Do the bankers of America think that the American farmer is going to consent to continue to be the only civilized agriculturist who has no adequate borrowing facilities. That is not the American way. What, then, can possibly prevent the formation of co-operative credit associations all over America? Nothing, except the presence of some institution that will do for the American farmer what cooperative credit Is doing for the European farmer. If the American banker wishes to do the banking business of America so far as the farm is concerned, he and he a!on6 can give the fanner this sort of an institution and thus make co-operative credit societies unnecessary. It is up to the banker. Capital for Farming. \ Formerly when an American farm \:ould be acquired by living upon it, when horses and cows and Implements were cheap, and when fertilizers, blooded stock, and special high-grade seeds were unknown, a young man with comparatively little capital could begin farming. Now considerable capital is as necessary to success in agriculture as it is in the manufacturing industries. Every wise farmer knows that money judiciously expended in better stock, better buildings, laborsaving machinery, proper fertilisers, and good seed will net large returns. But it takes money to do theee things. Consequently there is a demand for loans. In America the farmer can seldom get a loan on terms that meet his needs. In Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Italy and felsewhere upon the continent the I banks have forced the fanners to ortjganize co-operative credit societies. In many instances the government also bag aided the co-operative banks in obtaining money for loans. These societies are taking a safe, profitable ess away from the bank. Now when it Is too late the banks realize their mistake. ' To buy a farm there are a number of different methods open to the Danijish farmer. It must be remembered that in Denmark a farm it considered • • having live stock and implements need in working the land 1» •Bearably attached to it, hence the purchase price to be paid includes all frcsjulfnant necessary to the operation With*farm and all mortgages are ssewred Jml% pledge of this personal inspcrtjras weU a* of the real estate. If the would-be buyer has forty per cent, of the purchase price he may apply to a credit society for a longtime loan amounting to sixty per cent, of the value of the farm and all equipment and stock upon it. The loan may run from forty-five years to seventynine years. The borrower has his prospective purchase surveyed and assessed. He makes out a mortgage and delivers It to the co-operative society. This mortgage and hundreds of others like it are delivered to a trustee with a trust deed which pledges them as security for a series of bonds. The co-operative society guarantees t h a bonds also. It is from the sale of these bonds that the co-operative society obtains its funds. These co-operative credit associations have in the beginning no capital whatsoever. Each is simply an agency whose functions are to see (1) that the real estate security offered Is assessed at its true value; (2) that the title Is clear; (3) that the mortgages are properly executed; (4) that they are grouped, pledged and deposited with the " trustee; (5) that the trustee issues bonds; (6) that the land, buildings and equipment are properly cared for and their value is not permitted to deteriorate; (?);that the payments of principal and interest are promptly met Easy Repayment of Loans. The farmer pays from four to six per cent, of the principal amount each year. This is not wholly interest, however, for it includes a small installment of principal, for the mortgages are all amortization mortgages. Payment of this fixed sum annually or semi-annually for the fixed period therefor automatically discharges the debt A. small amount out of each payment is also set aside for reserve for the co-operative society and for an expense account It has been the universal experience, however, that the expense runs very low. Still Easier for tha Farm Laborer. There are other forms of loans even more advantageous to the borrower, particularly if he is one of the poorer farm laborers. If such a laborer seeks to become a land owner on a small scale he may under certain conditions secure a Joan for nine-tenths of the value of the proposed purchase, being required to advance only one-tenth of the purchase price in cash. The government furnished the funds for these loans. The conditions are (1) the borrower must have been engaged In agricultural labor for five years (women may take advantage of this law as well ae men); (2) the land must not exceed ten acres in extent nor $2,144 in value; (3) the borrower, and prospective purchaser must agree to crop the farm in a certain manner, dividing it up into five or seven fields and following a certain rotation of crops, thus insuring continued productiveness and preventing deterioration of soil fertility. Under these mortgages the borrower pays three per cent interest with no Installment* upon-the principal for the first five years. Then he pays, in addition to the interest one per cent, upon two-fifths of the-loan as an installment upon principal, doing this until the two-fifths of the loan n entirely discharged. Thereafter he pays an annual installment of one per cent upon the three-fifths remaining of the principal, this being in- addition to his three per cant .interest as before. The bonds n w . bo Issued upon, unstamped p e p * anc&Hft t r m Does the Danish farmer take advantage of these opportunities T Are the tenants becoming land owners? The facts are these: Denmark has 2,600,000 population, somewhat less than that of Chicago. It has about 500,000 families, including those in cities and villages as well as those In the rural regions. These co-operative credit societies have a membership of over 200,000; that Is to say, two out of every five families in the entire country are represented in them. Largely as a result of this credit system ninety per cent, of the farmers of Denmark own their own land. How Character la Capitalized. Obtaining a loan on personal security has been euphoniously termed "capitalizing character." It is not an inept phrase Blnce any farmer who has a good character, who 1« a sober, honest, industrious, intelligent, productive worker, has a capital that is considered a proper basis for credit and he can in fact capitalize his. character. His character is in very truth under these conditions his capital. Here is the way it is done here in Denmark: By the law* enacted in 1898 the government is authorized to turn over to the credit association $1,250,000, for which the associations account to the government at the rate of three per cent, per annum^ This sum is placed at the disposal "of the farmers' credit association in order that these associations may be ready to give small loans to their members. When any farmer finds it urgently necessary to secure a loan in order to meet expenses such as the payment of wages, the price of better seeds, or of artificial manures, or of feed for cattle, he makes application to one of these associations. In determining the amount of the loan to be granted to each man it Is the theory that the earning capacity of the borrower should be taken into account. This is thought to be best Indicated by the number of dairy cows which he owns. A member may thus obtain a loan to about $13 per head of cattle fed and milked on the place. The loans must be repaid in from one to nine months. Interest must not, according to the original law exceed 4¼ per cent per annum to the borrower. Danish Bankers Have Reformed. The fact that there are in Denmark many banks which are organized for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of the farmers has awakened the Danish banker to the fact that the rural credit is a big bueiness which he cannot afford to ignore. Compared with the American banker the Danish banker most decidedly has reformed. He does meet the needs of the farmer in a manner which would surprise Americans. This is particularly true of the method in which he assists in financing co-operative associations. When the big Trifollum dairy association was formed, for example, it was done in this way: One hundred farmers, most of them owners of large farms, formed an organization for the manufacture of dairy products and for the further purpose of supplying milk to the city of Copenhagen. These one hundred farmers were the owners of something like 12,000 cows.. While they individually had property, real and personal, they had no money which they wished to Invest in a cooperative organization. They therefore sent their leaders to the bank to borrow the money. They simply asked the bank for a loan of $125^000 on the note signed by these leaders. The bank did not require the other members af the association to sign the note, although by the terms of the agreement into which all had entered in the formation of the co-operative association all were liable, jointly and severally, for the debt contracted at the bank. As a matter of course the bank made the loan to these farmers at a low rate of interest. Can Banks Supply Rural Credit? I have said it ie up to the banker to supply the American farmer with loans similar to those supplied to the European farmer. But there are those who say that the joint stock bank can never meet the farmers' needs as do co-operative credit societies and that co-operative credit will come in spite of all the bankers can do. Dr. Charles McCarthy Is of this number. He bases his conclusion on these grounds: First, no joint stock bank can afford to tie its money up for long-period-loans as do the credit banks. These deposits are all shorttime deposits. They have no way of hypothecating one series of loans In order to raise money for another series. Second: No money-making concern can possibly serve the farmers as do cooperative credit societies whose sole aim is to aid the borrower and to protect his interests. But in agriculture a system of rural credit cannot be a substitute for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Unless the farmer produces a good product and sells tt to advantage his farming will be a failure. Easy loans will only make it t> bigger failure. Cooperative credit is important hot with it must oome a better aystem of marketing either oo-operattve or otherwise, which, will give thaiarmer more than half what H paid torts* fajin-piwdnot An0 so tar as we can learn joo^paratlre mar- KEEP EFFECT IN MIND W A L L DECORATION J8 WORTHY OF MUCH THOUGHT. On the Proper Selection and Hanging of Pictures Depends Much of the Beauty of the Room—How Best to Display Them. Very few people know how to hang pictures. This may seem a sweeping statement, but one has only to notice the different walls round about—perhaps in one's own home—and the sweep will be verified. In some rooms in which I have been I could be almost sure the pictures had been hung by the participants in a donkey party, each picture being tacked at random by a sightless one, and by no means near the donkey!— here, there, everywhere, with no reference whatever to form, color, design, ornamentation, unity, but rather a proposition of no many pictures, so many bare walld, so many tacks, and up they go, with the result looking much so. Now, while In most cases a plea could be made for more regularity, too much regularity (the wrong kind) is just as bad, writes Ethel Davis Seal in the Philadelphia North American. I remember once noticing the peculiar effect produced by a large picture and a small one exaetly beneath it, repeated seven or eight times in one room, with no hope of a change in sight to relieve the monotony. It was ae trying on the nerves as a constant striking on one key on the piano. Besides, it cast reflection on the originality of the picture hanger. Even worse is the overworked diagonal placing of pictures. While this is occasionally good the occasion is only the exception which proves the rule, and I might almost say that you should never put one picture a little to one side beneath another picture. And this seems the favorite placing on the walls of most amateurs. If you "know that you don't know," do not be afraid to hang just one picture of fair slse In whatever space you have under consideration and condense all the little pictures you feel you must have on one wall. This brings me to one of the serious faults to be found sometimes with the pictures themselves: they are too small and insignificant This can, in some cases, be overcome by condensing them. With this idea In mind, glance at the arrangement of the pictures over the drawing of a davenport. Immediately one receives a pleasant impression caused by the harmony of design. The no£ all be figures, but In spirit they should not be incongruous. You will see exactly what I mean when I toil you that I once saw the picture of a little boy whom nobody loves and who is disconsolately considering going oat in the garden to eat worms hanging directly under Hoffman's head of Christ FINE THREE-PIECE COSTUMjE In Style and Material This Is One of the Most Serviceable That Has • Been Designed. At almost any tima-of the year It would be difficult for a semi-smart three-piece costume, as shown here, to fail of service. The two shaped flounces, or godets, as they are most* ly termed, surmounting the slim, plain skirt, are afforded an original touch by the introduction of a square emplecement In front, stitched with the same small braided buttons as are six or more small pictures are grouped formally enough to form one unit, and one is not annoyed by a spotty htt-ormlss effect, which a more careless disposition of these same pictures would surely give. The space above the davenport might be correctly filled in other ways. The three lower pictures might be dispensed with, in which case the three larger ones should be lowered. Or one large picture could fill this whole space. In gathering a number of -pictures into a group some attention should be given to the subjects, and ridiculous combinations avoided. They need not all be landscapes, and they need LETTING OUT BABY CLOTHES Matter That Should Be Kept in Mind When, the Garments Are First Planned and Made. In making frocks for the baby the 'letting out" that win inevitably be found necessary in the course of a few months should always be provided for. A double hem at the bottom is a great convenience to the busy mother who must do her own sewing. To make it, allow two or three inches more on the length of the garment than Is needed for tha ordinary wide hem. Make this tetter hem in, the usual way, finishing tt with a row of machine stitching; then turn tt up on the wider aide until the frock is of the required length for immediate wearing sad ham it on the) maebja* w«h a rather large and loose stitch.

As* shown, the coatee is very loose and vague of outline; the fronts a mere1 incident, whereas the back takes a long point And a fascinating finish would be imparted to the whole coa-i tume by«lining this coat, and also the* godets, with some bright contrasting silk, which could be accentuated in,1 the belt. Dainty but Durable Bamboo. Novelties in bamboo furniture are among the desirable articles which a woman can pick up to help furnish her rooms. Aside from their being prettily decorated, they are Btrong and firm, built to withstand a great deal-of hard usage. But their chief attraction lies in their remarkable lightness which enables the^nome-maker to move them from one end of a house to the other without any strained lifting. This is due largely to tho almost imperceptible weight of their hollow bamboo frames, which are covered with the finest straw matting. .' An extremely-heat desk for a Girl's boudoir shows large pink peonies scat* tared here and there over the surface of the matting. Book racks, bureaus, and all sorts of oddly shaped tables are also decorated to match. tucks run in them by hand, to be let! out as occasion may require. If placed about midway of either1 the upper or lower arm, these tueksi will be rather ornamental than other* wise, and their ultimate purpose will/ hardly be suspected. <* ;>• / ¾ ^w J, \ k I t o T V i i J . * . t> •-. if* Jili Trains on Dancing Frocks.

Many people take it for granted that when a person dies, the editor is familiar with every detail of the deceased and his activities, when a* a fact he knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with regard to marriages or other more or less important happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig np particulars or to satisfy himself and the readers of his paper with a meager and inacurate account. The average editor of a county paper has something like a million and a half of things to do and think about in a week and patrons can hardly over estimate how much ht appreciates any effect they make in furnishing him th* la*te for news items, bat they •Hftld bo furnished at once and aafcwsfc* week or two to see if he^rifl have i t Fr. <3oyle was a Jackson visitor Saturday.

Sir Wtfliam Hamilton was an authority on Kooiun and Grecian antiquities. His One collection of them and bis great book on the subject prove that ussertiou. He wrote to Wedgwood about that much admired work of ancient art (the Barberini vase) in thetie terms: "Except the Apollo Belvedere, the Nlobes and two or three others of the first class marbles, I do not believe that there are any monuments of antiquity existing that were executed by so great an artist." This is about the highest commendation that could be bestowed, and when we consider that such a work, so soaringly eminent, was successfully Imitated by one of our own artist potters it is Barely a ground for national gratification. The original vase came into the possession of the noble Italian family or Barberini, hence its name. It was acquired by Byres, the antiquary, and then by Sir William Hamilton, who brought it to England in the year 1784. He, in turn, sold it to the Duchess of Portland. Her descendant, the fourth duke, deposited It In the British museum, owing to which fact it is best known to Englishmen as the Portland vase. It was lent by the duke to Wedgwood to make his copy from. The body of it had been much disput ed, but he found that it was glass. He was not a glassblower, but had invented his wonderful Jasperware by that time and decided his copy should be made of that substance. It was a tremendous task and took some three years in the modeling by Hackwood and others. The cost was never recouped by the subscriptions. It is justly esteemed to have been Wedgwood's masterpiece. It has been reproduced by his successors and by other potters, but, of course, they have not the same market value as those made by the great Joslah himself.—W. Turner in Westminster Review.

For some time past the de facto government of Mexico has seemed to think mere apologies sufficient when the rights of American citizens or the dignity of the government of the United States were involved and has apparently made no attempt at either reparation or the effective correction of the serious derelictions of its civil and military officers. Orderly Placed In Jail. "Immediately after the Incident at Tamplco an orderly from one ot the ships of the United States in the harbor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent ashore to the post office for the ship's mail, and who was in uniform and who had the official mail bag on his back, was arrested and put into jail by the local authorities. He was subsequently released and a nominal punishment was inflicted upon the officer who arrested him, but it was significant that an orderly from the fleet of the United States was picked out from the many persons constantly going shore on various errands, from the various ships in the harbor, representing several nations. Official Dispatch Withheld. "Most serious of all, the officials in charge of the telegraph office at Mexico City presumed to withhold an official dispatch of the government of the United States to Its embassy at Mexico City, until It should have been sent to the censor and his permission received to deliver It, and gave the dispatch Into the hands of the charge d'affaires of the United States only upon his personal and emphatic demand, he having in the meantime learned through other channels that a dispatich had been sent him which he had not received. United States 8!ngle4 Out "It cannot but strike anyone who has watched the course of events in Mexico as significant that untoward incidents such ae these have not occurred in any case where representatives of other governments were concerned, but only In dealings with representatives of the United States, and that there has been no oocaslon for other governments to call attention to such matters or to a*k for apologies. "These repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States, offenses not duplicated with regard to the representatives of other government*, have necessarily made the Impression that tba gorernment of the United States was singled out for manifestations of 111 will and contempt/* THE INSULT FOR WHICH REPARATION IS DEMANDED Thursday morning, April 0, a boat's crew of United States marines, In command of Assistant Paymaster Charles C. Copp, left the gunboat Dolphin for Tamplco to get a fresh supply of gasoline. The United States flag was flying from the stern of the whaleboat when It approached the landing in Tamplco. For no assigned cause Assistant Paymaster Copp and his men were placed under arrest as they stepped ashore. Surrounded by a detail of Mexican Federal troops they were marched up and down the prlnoipal streets of the city, and finally taken to the police station, where they were locked up. One report of the affair says the United States flat; was snatohed from the stern of the whaleboat when the arrests were made and carried and subjected to the jeers and hisses of the anti-American populace. There Is no denial of the fact that the prisoners were made the subjects of an anti-American demonstration, though at the time of their arrest they had just stepped from a boat flying the United States flag, were wearing the uniform of the United States and were conducting themselves in an orderly manner. After the Americans had been detained several hours, word of their arrest was carried to Rear Admiral Mayo, who demanded their immediate release. The demand was complied with, but the only reparation mads was* a bri^f expression of regret tor t h s aflagsd mistake. • Tie Dtffarsfio0t l a these days, when a man thinks be has won his ladylor* It Is a east of hit or miss.'* •Bi the primitrvs ttass wh*a a maa knocked dow» the gM he fanolsl tt a ease of J* —* - * - > KUERTA DEFIES UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Mexican Dictator Refuses to Salutd Flag as Ordered by Pres. Wilson TROOPS WILL PROCEED TO OCCUPY MEXICAN CITIES Congress Authorizes President to Use Army and Navy for Forcible Occupation of Republio of Mexico. Washington—Gen. VIctoriano Huerta, provisional president of Mexico, flatly refused Sunday night to accede to the unconditional demands of the United States that he salute the American flag, and congress has authorized President Wilson to use armed forces to uphold the honor and dignity of the nation. Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute in reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tamplco on April 10, came to a close Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favorable response from the Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal to comply unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute would be returned. The crisis thus reached does not mean there will be a formal declaration of war,, because the United States could not declare war againBt a government which it does not recognize. President Wilson has authority, however, to send the armed forces into Mexico, to seize first the ports of Tamplco and Vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City. The president held a cabinet meeting Monday 10:30 o'clock, when the final arrangements for a pacific blockade of Mexican ports and other steps in the president's program were deliberated. The breach that 'finally has come with Mexico will make it impossible, It was declared on high authority, for the United States to further protect foreigners in that republic and foreign governments have been notified of the situation in this regard. WHI Occupy Mexico. MaJ.-Qen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, is under orders from the president to proceed to Galveston and Texas City to take command of the forces of occupation in the movement on Mexico. A very important distinction is drawn between an army for an invasion and an army for the occupation of Mexico. Mexico is not to be invaded. It is to be occupied and this movement is to be extended until Huerta comes to terms. The first step will be the bellger* ent blockade of all the Mexican ports. Then Tamplco and Vera Cruz, and it Was learned some of the other Mexican ports, are to be occupied by a force of marines from the fleet These ports will form advance bases for the army which, if the dictator does not come to terms, will follow. The army will also be. sent into Mexico if the dictator permits the people in Mexico to commit any outrage against American and foreign citizens. Gen. Wood Will Govern. Under the command of Gen. Wood, the army will, if necessary, penetrate Mexico to Mexico City and on arriving at Mexico City, Gen. Wood in all probability will become military governor of Mexico^ in addition to being the oommander of the army of occupation and the blockading fleet This will be the third time in the career of the former -colonel of the Rough Riders that he has assumed this role. He was governor-general of Cuba, and organised the existing government of the Island; later he was sent to the Philippines, where be became the military governor of the islands.

Lieutenant Holton Is detached from his command In the natfy at the outset of the Bpanish-Amerjcan war and assigned to Important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel tie detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, a Cuban patriot Later he meets her a t a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on tha Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton Bhe is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton ia ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is.sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. Holton is seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed aa a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling into a Spanish ambush. He learns from General Garcia that the spy Is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part in the battle at Ban Juan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy, commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on July 3. Holton escapes and arrives in sight of the American fleet In time to see the admiral's flagship sail away. After frantic signaling he Is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the Intentions of the Spanish fleet and witnesses the destruction and capture of the enemy's vessels.

He learns that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans is to be held that night to plot against the American army. He gives Miss La Tossa t h e president's message. CHAPTER X I V . Shifting Triumphs. Replying to Holtoh's warning that She must do nothing that would place her in a dangerous position, Miss La Tossa laughed. "It is nothing, I can assure you," she averred. "This Is really a small matter." "Well," grumbled Holton, "I hope so, but I shall go with you." "You shall not," she replied emphatically. "But—" "My dear Mr. Holton, there are no huts—you cannot, cannot, cannot come." "This much I shall do," returned Holton with decision. "I shall accompany you to Sevilla and will remain hidden in a place where I can hear you call if you want me." She laughed. "My bold cavalieF"—her voice was gentle—"so you shall. And If I want you I will call." "Good!" Holton moved to his horse. "Shall we be going?** At Sevilla, which consists of about three buildings, or rather did consist of three buildings in those warlike days of 1898, Ramon took the road to hie camp, while Miss La Tossa, Holton, and Pierre urged their horses In the direction of the building whose roof the young Cuban had pointed out earlier in the evening. Perhaps fifty yards from this structure rose a thick growth of bushes, and here Miss La Tossa halted. "You will remain here, Mr. Holton," ehe said, ."and Pierre will accompany me." "Ton will call me if you need met*' asked Holton. "Yes, truly. And in any event, I shall come to you here after I have spoken to my countrymen." "All right Good luck." Sue kissed her hand gayly to him, or at least Holton so Interpreted her gesture, bat dimly seen in the darkness. He was Quite certain that he kissed his hand to her. Fastening bis horse, he waited, listening; for perhaps ten minutes. But hearing nothing, his natural impatience asserted itself, and crawling out of the bushes he disobeyed the girl's injunction* by working his way nearer the building. He finally made quite certain that there was nothing on that side- of it, and crawling to the corner he peered in. And here he saw things. First ta*re was a fire, and aroond It were gathered, he Judged, about fifty Cuban officers and soldiers. Their faces were somber .and their msnosr oortentons. Nea?4he fare stood Miss I A Toes* tasking mtsnafrrtly to s o * As she spoke, however, a man in the uniform of a captain rose and clapped his hands. The men to whom the girl was speaking withdrew their attention from her, and as a matter of fact she, herself, appeared to make no effort to hold them. On the contrary, as soon as the officer clapped his hands, evidently preparatory to speaking, she walked away from the group and gave her entire attention to this man. "Countrymen," he said, "I think we all recognize that in the event of the success of the Americans, Cuba will receive no benefit whatever. It will be a case merely of changing masters. And as for me, between the Spaniards, from whose stock we sprang, and the Americans, the Yankees, who are utterly alien, give me the Spaniards. We have already felt their,heel; we know what their scorn is, and their contempt"—the man was lashing himself to a fury—"I, myself, was shouldered out of the trail by a young pig of an officer not five days ago, and when I drew my sword, a pig of a Yankee private knocked me down with his hand. Is this friendship? I ask you, brothers—Is this what we were led to expect from our friends of the north, our saviors, our deliverers?" <. \ "But, Juan," interrupted an elderly captain, "that is all personal. I/myself have felt the contempt which the Americans feel for us, but £ should be willing to suffer more than contempt for my country's freedom. I have already suffered, as you know, at the hands of our oppressors. Contempt is very mild and easily to be borne when our liberty is the reward for it. If you have nothing more than narratives of personal affronts to give us, I for one shall not be very much impressed." "Bah!" The voice of the first speaker rose almost to a shriek. "I— I put my personal feelings above my patriotism! So you say! That—that was merely my beginning. Wait until I have finished and then let me hear your sneers, if sneers you have left." "Well, well, go on, I am "waiting," answered the older man. "So," resumed the speaker, "we all know what this generous nation of Yankees, this nation so given to establishing freedom throughout the world, intends to do with the Philippine Islands. Their newspapers leave us no doubt as to that Imperialism! That is the cry in the United States. They have received their I j f Trtth bared hsnflsand frttirr Near the Fire 8tood Miss La Tossa. taste of aggrandizement—and the taste is good. Have you been deaf to the talk-about the American" camp? What is the word you hear oftenest among their officers? I'll tell you: 'World-power!' That is what they say: 'World-poweri' •• • A sort of low cry went the rounds of his bearers, and Holton could see that the speaker was bringing them one and all beneath his spell. He sat down, looking gloomily at the ground, paying no attention to the round of hand-clapping thai attended his peroxattosw" tot a moment no one, stirred. It apfeared as tbojagh afl^weso «*«»%f»s: digesting too elcquenos that bad been poured' mt*4b^e*j»s. Then aaojfe*? *ttt0ft leaned ssmvtf New Wlllard, o»me tonight to place the capstone utxra the spell he had been weaving among the officers of the Cuban army. "Brothers," he began, "I came here tonight to counsel prudence, and, in fact, I do so counsel yqu now." • Hoiton's face filled with amazement What was he getting at? In a few moments he found o u t "I do most earnestly counsel prudence," he continued. "There are things that must be borne. The soldiers of the United States have come here. Well, good. We brought them here. At least, so It would appear. "Of course, we believe that these men were sent here because of the great yearning of the United States to see us a free, unshackled country. And so they have come down here to set us free, and then, having done BO, to retire with a blessing, and to contemplate with pride the growth of the republic, free and untrammeled. "So much we know. The Spaniards will be driven from the island, and then will these Americans^turn to us and say, 'Behold, here is your country; take it and develop it, and make it great, and may God be with you.' So I say prudence. "But, on the other hand, there are some of us who may possess wellformed doubts as to the truth of the beautiful word picture I have painted for you. Yes, there are many who doubt damnably. Has the United States ever been known to talk one way and act another? To those who know the political history of that great nation, I need say no more. To those who do n o t I say that governmental policies in the United States are fickle jades, blown willy-nilly by the winds of public opinion—they are valueless as things to depend upon; they are trivial even to consider. And yet"—he raised his hand to still a rising growl of voices—"and yet, still I counsel prudence." "Why?" roared a hoarse voice from the darkness. "Why? I can answer you simply. Because we are weak. We have been in the field fighting for several years. But we are not soldiers. At least the Americans say so. You have heard them— One moment," as the murmur arose again. "Oh, no, we are not soldiers. But the Americans are. We know that. They are soldiers who have Bold cloth and beans and sugar, and perchance may have sold guns! And so they are Boldiers—soldiers that we do well to fear. So again I advise prudence, always prudence. "If they leave us our country, good; but If they elect to retain it as another of their possessions, whjr, good, also. For what can we do? They will be kind to us. They will feed us so that we do not starve, and they will put trolley-cars—" A fierce yell interrupted him, and, although he raised his hand, he could not again regain attention. Nor had he need to. He had done his work, and done It well. One man arose, holding aloft a sword. "My countrymen," he yelled, "if by tomorrow night I have not plunged this into the breast of five Americans, I shall plunge it into my own throat" A wild cheer greeted his words. Then came a lull suddenly, as though the men were Beeking outlet for their emotions. And Cesnola was there to give it to them. He held out his hand. All eyes were fastened on him. The^first word had fallen from his mouth when the voice of a woman, raised in thrilling cadence, wiped additional utterance from the spy's lips. As Holton looked the girl sprang to the speaker's side and held out her hand. And as she stood thus, the naval officer never forgot the picture. "My countrymen," she cried at length, "I have listened to all who have spoken, and I have observed you. I have wondered whether the fever has got into your brains, and whether you are children led hither and thither by the idle words 61 plotters." Cesnola sprang in front of her and pushed her roughly aside. "I resent this intrusion!" he shouted. "I resent the presence of this woman—" What more he would have said may only be surmised, for the girl, her eyes biasing, turned to the audience, and, with finger Quivering a t the spy, she said: "That, man pushed me, my country— men^ Is there no one to avenge me?" Her voice was quiet, almost unemotional, and she looked calmly around the circle. It was plain to see she was beloved of these men; but it was equally plain that the spell of the spy's words lay about their minds in serpent coils. She paused. _ "I seel Chivalry has departed from among us. I, must myself wipe out this gross Insult" So saying, and before anyone could move, her ridjng*whip flashed in her hand, and slro struck Cesnola a, blind* ing blow across the face. From the sneer shook he went down as though hit by an ex. But ho sprang to bis feet on the instant, his tsce livid with rage, bis hand upon a long busting* knife, • J * another second HoMoa would hove boon * t *&• girl's side; but becsoJeV ssoro, a balf-doson revolvers flashed In the hands of Cuban officers, and the deep voice of the elderly captain broke the stillness. "Stop, Senor Cesnola. Remembex who you are—and remember it well We have listened to you, and now we will listen to the beautiful and spirited penorita." Miss La Tossa Broiled radiantly. "Thank you," she replied. "I have no burst of eloquence to give you, men of Cuba. I say merely that you have been badly advised, misled, by those whose interest it is to mislead you. And, further, I do nothing more than this." She flashed aloft President McKinley's dispatch, and then handed it to the Cuban captain, who read it and then in silence passed it around the circle. At length, as it was about to go into Cesnola's hands, Miss La Tossa intercepted the paper and extended it to an officer whom she knew. "I do not wish this to pass into that man's hands," she said. "Will you read it to him, major?" The officer complied, and then returned the dispatch to the girl with a bow. "Gentlemen," cried the young woman, "can you ask more than that?* A cheer—not a general cheer—but still fairly satisfactory in its strength, greeted her words. As it died out Cesnola stood forth, raising his hand. He regarded the girl malignantly. "Let us know one thing," he snarled. "Where did you get that message? Are you—" Miss La Tossa stamped her foot "Silence!" she cried. "To you I "You Lie, You Hound." shall not speak another word. If any gentleman"—she emphasized the term —"if any true Cuban"—this word yshe also emphasized—"wishes to question me, I will gladly respond." "Well," replied an officer, "we ask you, then, to answer the statement just made by Senor Cesnola." "It is easily answered," she returned quickly. "I am not in General Srafter's confidence. He darns' not give to me his private messages—" "And you received this, then—" queried the officer. "From an officer who possesses the confidence of General Shafter not only, but of President McKlnley." "He Is a Cuban officer?" suggested the questioner- "He—" "Ah!" Cesnola sprang forward. "Allow me to tell you who he is." Then, without heeding the girl's remonstrating voice, he ran on like a wild man:, "He is an American naval officer who has been spying among us throughout this campaign and before. You know I was in Washington and In Tampa before the Americans declared war, and you know much that I saw and heard there has proved of value to us. "I declare to you that this man Holton was sent among us to disorganize us, and to prevent any effort on our part to throw off the American yoke once we saw it settling upon our necks. He was in Garcia's camp two days before the Americans landed, and he was there In the guise of a writer for an English newspaper. If he had not designs against us, why did he not appear in his true colors? Would not Garcia have received him? "After the battle of July 1st he was in Santiago. He was in this girl's house, unknown to her father, and he was assailing this girl with caresses— which she accepted until interrupted by her fathers friends—then he leaped through a window, followed by a bullet from her father's pistol." "You* lie!" \ The voice fairly drowned out Cesnola's wild tirade; and as be recoiled from the unexpected interruption, Holton appeared from out of the darkness and stood in the firelight pointing his finger at the spurious Cuban. "Ton lie, you hound! You were the one who was in the house of this glrL and with you"—be turned and faced the officers—"were General Toral and Admiral Cervera. Yon nave been telling these men who I am. Well, 111 tell them who I ant. " cio B * ootrntrDsifc) RECIPES WORTH WHILE DISHES T H A T SHOULD H A V E PLACE I N H 0 U 8 E H 0 L D . Roman Meat Pudding May Be Recommended aa One of the Most Satisfactory Substantial Dainties-— Gibiet Sauce. , Roman Meat Pudding.—Boil half a cup of broken vermicelli in salted water for ten minutes. Drain. Mince tine any cold cooked meate such aa chicken, veal, mutton or beef and add] a cup of cold soup, gravy or soup) stock. Season nicely, add one beaten* egg, three tablespoonfuls of tomato* sauce or thick tomato pulp and thet vermicelli. Season with a tablespoon-i ful each of minced onion and parsley, and more salt and pepper if necessary.; Have ready some macaroni, boiled tender in salted water. It should be broken in three-inch lengths and about a pint of it prepared. Grease a plainmold or bread tin and line with t h e macaroni. Put in the prepared mince„ cover closely with lid or tie in floured; cloth and steam half an hour. Serve hot, with an ordinary white or cream' sauce. Olblet Sause.—When the chicken is placed In oven to roast, prepare the giblets—heart, liver, gizzard, neck, tips of wings. The French, creole or Missouri cook also uses the bead and feet, carefully cleaned and skinned— for they have a great deal of "goodness" in them and give body to the broth and sauce on account of the gelatin they contain. Break the bones of feet, head and wings and take only the four tender fillets from the gizzard, and do not cut the gizzard open at all, thus avoiding the contact of the meaty part and contents of the gizzard, unless, perchance, you are one of the very thrifty and provident housekeepers and have learned from some old mammy or Tante Zoe to preserve the lining of chicken gizzards for use In making your Junkets. Be careful to remove the gall sack, without breaking, from the liver. Cover the glblete with cold water and cook them gently while the chicken roasts. When done, chop fine and return to the broth, in which they are cooked. Stir this Into the brown gravy made in the pan after the chicken is dished up. If you want an extra touch to the gravy, chop six button mushrooms and six parboiled oyetera and add to the gravy a few minutes before serving. Snow Padding—This Is a little troublesome, but is a very delicate and refreshing dessert, and especially suited for serving with a rich or heavy dinner. Soak a quarter of a box of gelatin In a quarter of a cup of cold water -until soft. Then dissolve in a pint of boiling water, with a cup of sugar, adding the juice of one large or two small lemons. When sugar and gelatin diesolve, strain into a basin and chill as quickly as possible, stirring frequently until it is cold enough to begin to congeal: then whip to a stiff froth with egg whip or beater and fold in the whites of three eggs whipped to a stiff white foam. Pour Into a pyramid-shaped mold or into custard cups, and set in a cold place until next day. This quantity will serve two meals for a small family. Turn-out and pour a cuetard around It. Chicken and Potato-Croquettes Mix two cupfuls of mashed potatoes with two beaten egg yolks, sea* son with salt and pepper and cook until mixture will leave the side of the pan, then set aside to cooL Mince a cupful of shredded chicken with half a cupful of blanched almonds, add seasoning and enough rich milk t o hold ingredients together. Spreadi the potato mixture in flat cakes, fill4 the centers with the chicken mixture and roll into/balls. Fry in deep fati after crumbling in the usual manner. Home-Made Sirup. J Put one cupful of granulated sugar; into a frying pan or iron skillet anot melt it without water, stirring constantly to keep from burning. When, melted have ready one pint of boiling water and add it at once. The sugar win form a hard cake, but the water will run under it and keep it from burning. Now add one and one-half cupful of sugar and boil until the melted sugar is dissolved. This makes a golden brown sirup with a delicious flavor and costs much less than any cheap brand one can buy.

IStS EUGSNS A. 8TOWE, POLLUTED WATER. Cheap and 8imple Method by Which It May Be Purified. The beat thing to do with polluted water la to keep it out of your mouth and wait until you can get some pure' water. Of course a man might starve to death in some places following that advice, so here is t h e next best thiny" to do. Disinfect the dangerous water. Here is the way to do It. Dissolve a teaspoonful of chloride of lime In a cupful of water, making sure that all lumps are thoroughly broken up, then add three more cupfuls of water. Stir the mixture well and allow to stand for a f e w seconds In order that any solid particles may s e t t l e This mixture, if kept ki a tightly stoppered bottle, may be used for four or five days, when a n ew solution should be prepared. Add one teaspoon ful of this milky looking solution to each t w o gallons of water to be purified and stir thoroughly in order that the weak chlorine solution will come iu contact with all _ t ^ bacteria which may be present Allow this to stand for ten minutes. This will give approximately one-half part of free chlorine to 1,000.000 parts of water and will effectually destroy all typhoid and colon bacilli or other disease germs in the water. The water will be without taste or odor, and the trace of !ree chlorine will rapidly disappear. This method is one which is now recommended in the health literature of the country. Water s o disinfected is not dangerous so far a s the chloride of lime is concerned if allowed to stand for ten or fifteen minutes after applying. The chief danger is that not enough disinfectant will be applied t o render t h e water safe i n all instances. Marks of Social Distinction.

The que&tion has been asked more than once since the ship sank two years ago. Nearly every time the subject has been broached some one has come forward with an array of figures that apparently placed the project in the realm of e impossible. Of late the idea has n revived, and now comes an entgineer with a scheme that can boast Ian element of the probable, |,rovld«d Ithe circumstances are quite aa invariable as he Imagined them to be. Paradoxically, the man that offers e present solution has his home pretnearly aa far away from the sea as It Is possible to get here in the United IStates. Charles A. Smith, the author of the plan, lives in Denver, says the [New York Sun. Briefly it Is his purpose to make use of a great many powerful electric lifting magnets, which when energized will cling to [the Bteel body of the Titanic like so (many monster leeches. When these magnets are firmly attached to the skin of the ship lines leading surfaceward will be secured to buoyant caissons, or camels, of steel built especially for the purpose, and then the inventor counts upon the cumulative lifting force of all these cylindrical tanks to raise the Titanic clear of the bottom so that the wreck and the floating camels can be towed to shallower water. Each time the Titanic Is halted by fine rising sea bed the connecting lines twill be shortened, the vessel raised a few feet, and with this clearance she will be towed nearer land. Thus step by step the foundered ship is to be raised and moved shoreward until the next to the last stage of the operations finds her in water of such moderate depth that the ordinary diver can be employed. This would Involve bringing the Titanic from her present supposed restling place, two miles down below the urface of the sea, and transporting er to some point near the Nova Scon coast, where a temporary resting lace could be found at a depth of not ore than 100 feet. But great physical obstacles lie in Ithe path of Mr. Smith's project. To bejgln with, it would take an Immense amount of hunting to locate the wreck. [Wrecks have a way of shifting even iafter they reach the ocean bed, and (this is one of the puzzling aspects of la submarine problem of this sort Take your atlas and trace the course of the Gulf Stream as it branches just about where the White 8tar liner collided with that deathdealing iceberg. You will find that this current of warm water sweeps at that point off to the southeast, and somewhere below the Gulf Stream the great volume of the Labrador Current flows to the south and west, bringing [with it an unceasing burden of sand. Sn this fashion both of these ocean rivers have carried sand* to the point [where they meet in conflict south of (Newfoundland, and thus out of this [battle has grown that steadily rising submarine mountain or plateau called jthe Grand Bank. It is possible that the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current have in the past two years substantially buried the wreck of the Tljtanic. If such be the case, the hulk may never be located. j Again, it is not certain that the Titanic lies on a sandy bottom. There U a reasonable probability that the ocean bed at that point may be rocky. This brings us to the question of her probable condition as a likely subject lor salvage, assuming that it be humanly possible to get down to her and jto attach lines or cables for her lifting. amr ort&M^vai&*x&2ri&& WZ2&A /Z&7 a^suerz^rjc/rttop^ at acnzzs square inch. If you multiply the 7,000,- 000 square inches by this pressure and divide by 2,240 — representing the pounds of a long ton—you will find that the superposed sea has laid its hand upon the body of the Titanic with weight of more than 14,000,000 tons. When afloat and fully laden the great liner represented a dead weight of 65,000 tons. If she be held in the grip of the ocean bed, with the sea further aiding that hold, the a salver would have to exert a lifting force of more than 215 times her service tonnage in order to free her from the bottom. In other words, Mr. Smith would have to provide salvage caissons or camels with an amassed buoyancy equivalent to an assembled fleet of floating Titanics more than 215 strong! From a financial and engineering point of view an undertaking of this sort would not be alluring. But it may be that the wreck of the ahip is not in this unpromising predicament How is the Denver inventor to satisfy himself upon this point? Mr. Smith "has planned as an auxiliary a type of submarine boat which Is to be strong enough to withstand the deepest submergence required for the reaching of the Titanic wreck. In this direction the inventor Is practically elaborating on the work of the noted Italian submarine engineer, Slgnor Pino. The latter designed a type of globular submarine, which, because of its particular form and the nature of its fabrication, would stand up under the crushing stresses of very deep submergence. In fact the boat—if such it could strictly be called—was so arranged that increasing pressure actually served to make the craft more watertight. According to Mr. Smith's plan, these submarine auxiliaries will be lowered from big wrecking steamers and will obtain their limited propulsive energy from the electric power plant of the surface craft. Their purpose will be two fold: That of locating and exploring externally the shattered wreck, and to assist in guiding and in pushing the powerful magnets into contact with the steel hull. It would be of the utmost importance to place these mechanical leeches where the Internal structure of the Titanic would be best able to support the lifting strains. Lifting magnets are extensively employed nowadays in big steel plants, and lately have been used also for the recovery or iron and steel scrap which has been lost overboard In harbors. A well Jtoowji English firm has built some of these with a diameter of five feet and with a magnetle grip strong enough to raise a solid mass of iron or Bteel weighing 12 tons. One of the main difficulties in the __: use of magnets is to avoid overheating The question Is, so far as the salver them by reason of the electrical curls concerned, Which of these ways was Ihe one in which the Titanio was finally halted at the bottom of the-Atlantic? If she lies upon a rocky bed* then, If Mr. Smith can secure his magnets to her and command sufficient lifting force, the chance of her ultimate recovery brightens considerably. On the other hand, if the ship has forced a goodly part of her body into jthe sea bed the situation is entirely .changed. There Is no reasonable hope cf dislodging her from that anchorage. * The Titanic, like her sister ship, the • Olympic measured upon her longest deck, 882 feet and her beam was »2 -feet A rectangle of these dimensions would have a total area of 81444 square feet .. Of course, a plan view of the Titanlo's body was ship shaped Slid not rectangular, and let us sup- Pthat a goodly pert of it la burled first in the sand, and that only $0 cent rises above the bottom. In case approximately 7,000,000 inches would be wpmsd to the thraet of the orertying two of tea water. At a depth of 10,100 feet there to a fcjgfoitatW pf seems tending to crash jg#;t» heU amounting to a force of jftjM l«u&4» to- every v- :.^--^-.- . sea would cut down the load to be lifted to approximately 39,000 tons, which would call for 3,250 electro magnets, representing a dead weight in themselves of fully 10,000 tons. That is to say, that the special pontoons, or camels, must be equal to providing a total buoyancy of a good deal more than 49,000 tons, because the magnets must be suspended by chains or wire ropes, and here again is an additional load. If you are fond of figures you can while away your time calculating the number and the size of the caissons which Mr. Smith would have to use under the most favorable circumstancee, and when that conclusion has been reached you will find some difficulty in getting anchorage space for the necessary fleet in New York harbor. If you are at all familiar with the practical difficulties of towing you will realize what it would mean to convoy these squadrons to the site of the wreck, and when you have got them there and have crowded them over the Titanic's hulk, imagine what would happen if a storm arose! It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Smith has many difficulties to overcome. Even If it were possible to recover the whole or any part of the hulk it Is hard to conceive bow the sajvers would have anything but an irreparably damaged mass. Remember that if any air pockets or chambers filled with air survived for a while during the vessel's sinking, they ultimately were burst In by the increasing hydrostatic pressure as the craft plunged deeper and deeper to her grave. Probably this happened in a large number of directions, and thus successively the ship's steel honeycomb was ruptured if not flattened into a veritable pancake. Of course, Mr. Smith may have an answer for every point raised; but even so the salvage of the Titanic would in no wise pay for the labor and the enormous expense involved. True, an achievement of this sort would be of the utmost engineering significance, inasmuch as it would herald the feasibility of dealing with treasure ships and other profitable wrecks that lie in shallower water. If Mr. Smith can do this latter work he will do something well worth while. DESTITUTE IN NEW YORK CITY rent turned into them. This element of temperature has hitherto placed limits upon their attractive powers, and especially upon prolonged continuous service, something that would be absolutely needful In dealing with such a project as the lifting of the Titanic and holding her during the towing into shallower water. However, news has come from Paris of late announcing an Important discovery in this matter of Increasing the strength of magnets without adding materially to their size. Unquestionably the temperature of the sea water where the Titanic now lies is very close to the freezing point, and it may he that the Denver engineer counts upon this condition to promote the efficiency of his magnets when first gripping the wreck and starting It surfaceward. Aa the matter stands, however, the present state of the art caHe for a magnet weighing /about sixty-eight hundredweight to h^elwreeaof l i t e m . tttheTHanio There Has Been a Big Increase During Recent Months In Demands for Charity. There is more poverty and destitution in New York now than in the last 40 years, according to reports received by the Charity Organization society, says the New York World. Never before in its history has the society been called upon to help so many families. A few days ago it had 2,781 families in its care, an increase of 548 over the same season last year. During February, 1914, it helped 3,313 families, an Increase of 642 over February, 1912. "Each month since last October," •aid W. Frank Persons, director of the society's general work, "we have cared for 25 to 30 per cent more families than the year before. The snowstorm has brought us families who ordinarily would not have to ask for help. They have been able to withstand hard times for weeks, but the pressure now has become too great "We expect to hare for the next month an increasing number of such families as apply for aid* Indications are that there will be much suffering from throat and lung diseases, as is always the case when the snow begins to melt This will affect day laborers, driven and- men in other outdoor oo» The Splendid Paupers.

Hlgh-Prlced Cuts, He Asserts, Are Not Necessarily the Best—More Nour* ithment In Many of the Cheaper Grades—About Chops. In the Woman's Home Companion a retail butcher writes an article entitled "Reducing the Meat Bill." in which he shows how people who buy the high-priced cuts don't get the beBt meat He says that some of the cheapest meats are the best. He takes an itemized weekly meat bill of $4.62 and shows, item by item, how that bill can be reduced to $3.21, just by using cheaper cuts, which he says are better cuts. After dealing with the various kinds of steaks—in which, by the way, he tells about the steak that the butcher eats himself—he goes on as follows about roasts and chops: "A roast of beef coBtlng 91 or $1.50 at the present time is not much; a hungry and healthy family will probably finish it in one meal. You can still enjoy good roast beef, and surely for less money, only buy the right cut From past observation the writer has found that nine out of ten customers ask for the first cut of the rib roast. Of course, they are the most expensive cuts. The fifth, sixth and shoulder ribs are hardly in demand, and the butcher has a hard job selling them. These end ribs or shoulder ribs of roast beef are not only considerably cheaper to buy, but are richer in nourishment and food value. When buying one of^ the three or four ribs of beef, say, for instance, weighing five pounds, you will find that you hardly have sufficient meat left after it is carefully trimmed and the bone taken out. The difference in price between the first cut on the rib and the last two cuts is at least six cents a pound, and when you ask for a shoulder rib roast ask the butcher to insert a piece of suet in the center of the roast, or, If he has time, to lard it with thin pieces of fat Another good piece of meat for roast beef Is the top sirloin, which Is not so cheap, but it is recommended because it has no waste. "The next important item on the meat bill is chops—either lamb, pork or veal chops. Lamb chops, however, are the kind mostly demanded, and. of course, the demand is for loin and rib chops, the most expensive. There is the same solution as with steaks—buy shoulder chops; they cost less and are sweeter. This same principle applied again to pork chops. The shoulder chops are very sweet and tender, and the butcher will sell them for less, but very few people know about them." To Make Okra Soup. Okra soup, or gumbo soup, can be made in a good many ways. For one kind make a rich stock from beef and veal bones strain and skim. Add to a quart of the stock a pint of okra cut In small pieces "and stewed with a pint of tomatoes and a pint of water until tender. Put in three or four teaspoonfuls of rice and simmer until it is tender. Then serve very hot This soup, of course, does not equal chicken gumbo soup, which is one of the most delicious soups made, but which ^takes four or five hours In the making and calls for chicken, beef, okra, potato, onion, rice, tomato, green pepper, bacon and several other ingredients. Linoleum Polish. Odds and ends of candles will make an inexpensive polish for linoleum. Use about equal parts of candle scraps and common turpentine. Place In a jar and stand where It is warm, until the grease is quite melted, then allow to cool, where it will be soft and creamy. Use with a soft cloth and polish with a second soft cloth. A little of the grease will go a long way. Cream of Com Soup. One can grated corn/ one pint boiling water. Cook gently 20 minutes, then rub through a sieve. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter.

One of the Handsomest of the Tourist Ceats, In Tweed, le Shown—Shepherd Checks and Plaids Also Popular. No department of woman's dresa is more complete than that of traveling l apparel, and most of the garments are, 'like the modeled sketch, suitable for general touring purposes, whether by motor, steamer or rail. Here the material is tan Scotch tweeds with a hair-line check in black. I Plain tan cloth Is used for the collar, cuffs and belt sections back and front, and plain covered buttons for further trimming. The coat Is comfortably large enough to get over a suit and its lines are exceedingly graceful. Like the majority few folds, lifted and draped up from the hem. Some scant fullness In the back 1B caught under another high belt section, buttoned to the coat at either end. Shepherd checks and plaids are quite as much to be considered as ever, for they, like navy serge, never actually go out of style; but this year they are entirely dependent on cut and graceful hanging from the shoulders for success. All coats, whether for separate wear or accompanying skirtB, are hung from the shoulder blades Instead of the top of the shoulder. It is an important note, since it at once Btamps the design as modern, and, moreover, is much more graceful than the latter. Three-quarter lengths are very much in order and are smart looking. All variations of the Norfolk are.popular. Most of them are quite high in the neck, with good-sized turnover collars and long and very moderate-sized sleeves that finish with turnback cuffs or bands; There are always pockets in these, but Instead of the patch variety, they are made Inside with the outside flap serving a purely decorative purpose.—Washington Star. RESTORATIVE FOR THE SKIN Tourist Coat of Seotch Tweed. of wraps, it is half lined. Very wide straight sleeves are set Into drop shoulders and are given deep turned back cuffs, scalloped and buttoned on the outside in a novel manner. The front edges above the belt are cut in square ends, which fall in a fold at either side. The right side is gathered into the short belt section, which buttons across the left side, and the material below the belt is laid in a HOPE FOR RAIN-SOAKED HAT Generally May Be Trimmed Freshly and Worn for Second Best, at the Least.

You will enjoy a wonderful Skin restorative if you bathe the face, neck and arms every night with hot milk and water, which is a wonderful skin restorative, dry gently, with a very soft and fine face towel, and then apply a very little good face cream, with circular and upward massage movement© of the finger tips. Smooth the eyebrows and lashes with a modicum of pure white vaseline. In the morning again bathe the face with hot milk and water, then rinse with cold distilled water to which a few drops of toilet vinegar or lait virginal have been added. Dry thoroughly, always using upward movements, apply a little toilet cream, wiping off any superfluity with a soft handkerchief, dust on some good powder and smooth with a fine waeh leather. This simple treatment has really astonishingly beneficial effects in a very few days if persevered with. Ailing ones must, of course, be very careful to build up the general health; not by "cosseting," but by common sense pre* cautione. A nourishing but digestible diet, including plenty of milk, eggs, fish, poultry and beef once a day, as much fresh air and sunshine as possible, judicious but not strenuous exercise and plenty of rest in between, provide an excellent restorative regime to those below par. A Few Large Hats. Some of the newest hat models are large and flat and very elaborately garnished with flowers, lace and ribbon. Maline is a very important factor in the construction of these models, black and the most delicate tones of pink and amber having the preference. Ostrich plumes of contrasting color are favored by this designer, who also achieves remarkably beautiful results by brightening up her black models by giving them exquisitely tinted tapestry or chiffon crowns. materials are employed for these chains* including wood, glass, etc. One of the foremost types is constructed entirely of extremely small beads, in braided or rope effects.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH TO REMEMBER WHEN IRONING Matters of Consequence If One Would Do Good Work and Preserve the Clothes Handled. First of all the irons must bo immaculately clean and suited to the article to be ironed. Irons come now in all sizes, for all purposes. Heat the irons slowly, but have them very hot before starting, even if they must be cooled later. Try them on a soft clean cloth. The ironing sheet also must be clean. For fine lingerie cover the ordinary ironing sheet with thin material; for embroidery and lace use a Turkish towel, pinned tightly around the board. To stiffen articles slightly without starch rub them on the wrong side with warm water and borax. To clean the irons if starch sticks rub them over fine emery paper, then with a little paraffin wrapped In muslin. If an iron becomes rusty scrub it with hot water and soap, then rub it very lightly with lard. Wipe it carefully with absorbent cotton to remove all traces of the lard. Never allow irons to get red hot, as it takes the temper out. Do not put a hot iron in water to cool it; stand it on one side for a few minutes. It is unwise to put irons directly over the gas flame, as it spoils the iron. In the absence of a special device for holding them use an asbestos mat. When possible colored goods should be ironed on the wrong side, then pressed on the right This brings out the coloring. All-wool underwear ought not to be ironed, as ironing causes it to shrink. HASH MADE WITH SALT FISH Something of a Novelty, and One of the Best of Dishes for a Light Lunch. Cover one-half pound of salt fish withhold water, bring to a boil and drain. Do this three times. Cover again with cold water and boil until very tender. Pare six good sized potatoes and boil until soft. Drain. Add to the fish and chop together, not too fine. While the fish and potatoes are cooking cut two or three slices of fat pork Put in a fry pan, cover the pork with cold water, bring to a scald and drain. Return to the pan and fry until a nice brown, This makes the pork crisp. Take the pork from the pan and put it where it will keep hot. Now put the chopped fish and potatoes into the pork fat and return to the fire. Cook until well .blended with the fat, stirring lightly. When well heated through set back to cook slowly, running a knife around the sides and under the cake, which must be patted out nice and smooth and size of the pan, but do not stir again. When it Is a nice rich brown on the under side fold it over, exactly like an omelet, and serve on a hot platter. Garnish with the fried pork cut in small strips. This is fine and is rich and hearty enough with a vegetable of some kind and a dessert for dinner. Braised Veal. Take a pleca-oi shoulder weighing five pounds. Have bone removed and tie up meat to make it firm. Put piece of butter size of half an egg, together with a few shavings of onion, into a kettle and let get hot. Salt and pepper the veal and put into kettle, cover tightly and put over a medium fire until meal is brown on both sides, turning it occasionally. Then set kettle on back of stove where it will simmer slowly for about two and onehalf hours. Before setting meat on back of stove see if the Juice of the meat, together with the butter, makes gravy enough, and it not, add a little hot water. When gravy Is cold it will be like jelly; Serve gravy hot with hot meat or cold with cold But a girl who is an expert at making angel cake may have a demon disposition. GO T O PIMPLES ALL OVER FACE WESTERN CANADA N O W 1413 E. Genessee Ave., Saginaw, Mich.—-"Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me of a very bad disease of the face without leaving a scar. Pimples broke out all over my face, red and large. They festered and came to a head. They itched and burned and caused me to scratch them and make sores. They said they were seed warts. At night I was restless from itching. When the barber would shave me my face would bleed terribly. Then scabs would form afterwards, then they would drop oft and the so-called seed warts would come back again. They were on my face for about nine months and the trouble caused disfigurement while it lasted. "One day I read in the paper of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I received a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and it was so much value to me that I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment at the drug store. I used both according to directions. In about ten days my face began to heal up. My face is now clear of the warts and not a scar is left." (Signed) LeRoy C. O'Brien, May 12, 1913.

IMPORTANT BASE BALL POINT Organized Base Ball Is Hard Hit By Ruling of United State* District Court of Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, Mich.—Judge Clarence W. Sessions, in the United States district court, denied the application of the Chicago Federal league club for an injunction enjoining Catcher William Killifer, Jr., from playing with the Philadelphia National league club. The judge denied the application upon the grounds that the Chicago Federal league club did not come into court "with clean hands." Killifer made a contract with the Federal league club on January 8th and on January 20th made another one with the Philadelphia club. Both contracts are in form valid and binding, but the court held that a wilful wrong was done the Philadelphia club owing to the fact that the reserve clause of their 1913 contract with Killifer would have been carried out if the Federals had not tempted him with a much greater salary. The reserve clause is, however, held to be invalid under the law. This is the important point ef the decision as organized base ball has regarded it as a bulwark against the invasion of new leagues. The release clause is that part of a ball player's contract that gives his team an option on his further services at the termination of the contract. On this point the decision reads: "The leading authorities, with possibly one exception, are agreed that executory contracts of this nature can neither be enforced in equity nor form the basis of an action at law to recover damages for their breach. The reasons for the decisions are that such contracts are lacking in the necessary qualities of definlteness, certainty and mutuality. The 1913 contract between these defendants, relative to the reservation of the defendant, Killifer, for the season of 1914, is lacking in all of these essential elements. It is wholly uncertain and indefinite with respect to salary and also with respect to terms and conditions of the proposed employment. It is nothing more than a contract to enter into a contract in the future, if the parties can then agree to contract. Although it is founded on sufficient consideration, it lacks mutuality, because the Philadelphia club may terminate it at any time on 10 days' notice while the other party has no such option and is bound during the entire contract period. A contract exists, but, if broken by either party, the other is remediless, because the courts are helpless either to enforce its performance or to award damages for its breach. Railway Improvements for Manistee. Cadillac^ Mich.—The Manistee East & West railway, formerly the Manistee & Grand Rapids, is planning ex* 'tensive improvements on its line from Manistee to Marion to give direct passenger service between these points. At present a local runs from Manistee to Pightin, 20 miles from Marion, the roadbed making it impossible for the train to proceed nearer the eastern terminal. Thirty-five thousand ties have been purchased for the purpose of improving the roadbed, and these will be placed in May and June. By July 1 Manager Morey promises that a motor or a passenger will be running daily between Marion and Manistee. The road purposes to put about $75,000 in improvements. Township to Own Railroad. Manistique, Mich.—Garden township, Delta county, voted $25,000 bonds for "highway purposes" to keep itself "on the map." The highway will not be the usual road of stone and gravel, but is of ties and steel and la 14 miles Hong. In other words, the proceeds of the bonds will be used to purchase a railroad and Garden will be the only township in Michigan owning a railway. MICHIGAN NEWS IN BRIEF John C.

It Is quite possible to go into many kitchens the first thing in the morning and find an alarming array of dirty pots and pans on which the remains of food cooked the night before has hardened and become encrusted on the inside. This means an enormous amount of really unnecessary work in the morning. Now, though it may not be possible for the cook, after a late dinner with guests attending, to set to work and to clean thoroughly all the utensils used, yet it is possible for her, as each is used, to fill it three parts full of boiling water, putting in with this a small lump of soda. Then after dinner is served all that it necessary is to empty the contents, rinse the pans well to remove all scraps of food left on the sides, dry them and hang tbem in the draft where the air can reach them. Next morning when the girl has more time, she can have some hot water and soda ready in a large dishpan. Then the pans may be dipped into this and rubbed off thoroughly with a cloth soaped and dipped in fine sand; then they should be well rinsed and dried and put back in their places. Should a pan have been allowed to burn and there are still some burnt fragments clinging to it, a little soda water should be boiled up in-it until all the fragments are loosened and then the pot should be scoured. RICE DUMPLINGS A DELICACY Cooked With Apples and Served With Cream or Other Sauce They Make Ideal Dessert. Pick and wash a half pound of rice and boll it gently in one quart of water till it becomes dry, keeping the pot well covered and not stirring it Then take it off the fire and spread It out to cool on the bottom of an inverted sieve, loosening the grains lightly with a fork, that all the moisture may evaporate. Pare half a dozen pippins or any other large, juicy apples, and take out the cores. Then fill each cavity with marmalade or with lemon and sugar. Cover every apple all over with a thick coating of the boiled rice. Tie up each in a separate cloth and put them into a pot of cold water. They will require about an hour and a quarter before they begin to boll, perhaps longer. Turn them out In a large dish, and be careful in doing so not to break the dumplings. Serve them with cream sauce, or with butter, sugar and nutmeg beaten together. 8WIM Lemon Pie. Even during warm weather this tidbit will be found palatable. Line a pie-dish with short pastry; slice one large lemon or two small ones very thin, removing skins, seeds and every vestige of white outside skin. Spread one-fourth of a pint of sugar over the pastry, then the lemons, evenly spread over sugar, sprinkle with dried currants and the grated rind of the lemon. Cover this with one-fourth pint of sugar, then lay strips of pastry in lattice form over this filling, baking about 15 minutes in moderately hot oven. When cold arrange a border on pie of seasoned cottage cheese moistened with thick, sweet cream. Mutton Roll. Pass one pound of lean cooked mutton and a small quantity of lean bacon through a fine mincer and place in a mixing bowl. Add half a teacupful of fine bread crumbs, a little finely minced onions, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whip one egg until light, mix together with the prepared meat, and roll into an oblong cake on a floured board. Tie this roll in a piece of buttered muslin and stew in thick brown sauoe for an hour.

While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter tn the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lady. She thanks him for his servv oe and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, '"A Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home In Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton ehe is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States-. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent td> investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans in the interests of the Spaniards. Holton la seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. H e learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle at San Suan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy commanders.

Two or three faint cheers drifted shoreward, hut for the most part there was silence. Boats manned by American aailorB were about all the Spanish Teasels, which, having left the harbor so proudly and so defiantly but a little while before, were now merely smoking, burning wrecks. "Well, it Was over. What would happen now? The harbor forts were still to be subdued, and it was out of the question that Sampson would attempt to rush them this day. No, Holton could see that the army still had Its part to play, and that, as a consequence, his work was far from completed. His duty was perfectly clear; and while he was able to drag one foot after another, its stern behests were to be obeyed. His place was at Garcia's headquarters—the sooner he took it the better. After a last, lingering look at the scene below he turned inland, but had not gone more than two hundred yards when he realized that his sore feet were not adapted to rapid progress. In short, he felt that, as compared to his normal condition, he was but half a man, and a very miserable and pitiful half at that Still, with frequent halts he made his way toward the American lines, and by dusk he was again among the rifle»plte of the army. A flag of truce was wandering over the hillside, and In answer to Holton's query an officer told him that General Shatter was sending in word to Toral that, now the fleet was destroyed, he had better surrender and have done with further bloodshed. So everyone waited until the truce party returned - vfrom its mission. e't- They had not made, it was learned, great progress with the Spanish oomtwnder. He was quite content with the situation, he said, and, moreover, he had good information that the men from the United States were not doing vary well "in this climate. In a word, he/thought It advisable to oppose to the utmost extremity the advance of the Americans. A reply similar in Its nature had been sent to Admiral Sampson, who, as though in spite, dropped a few shells into the city, and then desisted In order to give Toral time for the thlrteai-lnch messengers to sing home. The destruction of Cervera's fleet was regarded as having simplified the task that lay before the Americans, bat no one knew exactly what the developments would be. The general surmise was that Toral would event nally surrender, and If that was the ease there was disinclination on the part of the brtgaoVoojamandars to ahed nnneoessary blood. In the morning Holton was awakened by a bombardment which oca* tinned for half an hontv The men In the tranches got Into action with their Kraga and .the Spaniards renponded. The result wen a spirited which ended en abreatt* as H ejritalasvmiC of "' - - - the Spanish lines, borne by messengers from Shafter sent to Inquire of Toral if he had not yet changed his mind about holding out. As Holton could see no special reason why the Spaniard should have changed his mind, he was inclined to regard the truce business as a joke, a sentiment which most of the officers shared with him. Toward noon he made his way along the lines, and, eventually, he located the Cuban contingent. Garcia was seated in front of bis tent with General Castillo.. He remembered. Holton and greeted him pleasantly. Yet he appeared to have something on his mind, and after welcoming the navy man he turned to his brother general and continued a conversation which the officer's arrival had evidently interrupted. Holton, not wishing to appear as an intruder, moved to one side. The soldiers were sullen and regarded the new-comer with evident dislike. He tried to engage several of them In conversation, but with no success. To a sergeant, who had turned his shoulder upon him, he said with some impatience: "What's the matter with you, anyway?" "You will find out soon," was the reply. CHAPTER XIII. A Night Rendezvous. Before Holton could make answer, a young Cuban galloped by on horseback. So lithe was he, so cleanlimbed, his uniform so spick and span, his face so handsome, that Holton turned to glance after him. He, too, was turning to gase at Holton, and now brought his horse to a sharp halt. Noting this, the navy man walked toward the fellow, feeling that he had seen him somewhere before but pussled to know where* The young soldier, with head turned over shoulder, nodded to Holton, and then, with a sweep of the hand, beckoned him toward a group of small palms, whither he urged his horse at a slow walk. The naval officer followed and came to a standstill beside the beautiful animal. The boy—he was little more—bent down and looked at Holton a moment Then he smiled and held out his hand. "You have been pointed out to me as Lieutenant Holton," he said. "Are you he?" Holton looked at the other steadily without answering.- A thrill passed over him. "I could almost say," he replied finally, "that you are Miss La Tossa in disguise/? "Yon would be pretty nearly right," was the laughing response; "I am her brother." "Oh!" Holton reached up and seised the lad's hand. "I am very happy to see you. Where Is your sister?" "At home. I stole In to visit her last night She wished me to find you and to ask you to accompany me to a place beyond Seville at once. She will await us on the road and will have something of Importance to say to you. I do not know what It is." "But—" Holton hesitated. '1 have Just come in from Santiago at some peril I have work to do here." The hoy smiled at him. "There will be no peril In returning with me. We Cubans,'1 he grimaced, "have a secret route into the city which has always been kept open. It is open now. You must come with me; my sister has news of great importance you must hear." Holton > needed no great Incentive to accompany the ^ther. He still wore hie Spaniard's uniform, with the addition of an army hat bearing the Insignia of "the Fifth Geres, and he felt himself sartoriaUy well qualified onee more to penetrate the ranks of the enemy/ if that were necessary. With the young Cuban for a guide, he felt that danger waifreduoed to a fluA*fi9rQXee* 1 have a pony yon may ride," continned the boy, migrating Holton's sflsnrs der hosltattou "Oh,rn go, even If I watt," retarned Bolton, "bat r certainty shell appro* emu the hetne.'* renset was the hour and th* Caftan essnp the rendesvons egrssg upon hy the "twoy sneV after essdrinsj hr-Tr^* with the t* hti own Unee and made Ids BBaader-ln-chief was la wretched physical condition, and the able and energetic Lieutenant Miley war attending to many of the executive details. To this officer Holton made his way. "Did you receive any word from the President?" he asked. The naval officer some days previously had requested General Shafter to solicit a message from the President disclaiming any idea of holding and annexing Cuba after the close of hostilities. It was well understood by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why Holton proffered the request Now, in reply to his question, the aide dived into his tent and emerged bearing a cable dispatch sent from Washington via Key West and Guantanamo. It was addressed to General Shafter and read as follows: "The President Btates herewith that hostilities against the Kingdom of Spain were Instituted with the sole purpose of liberating Cuba from Spanish rule. It is our wish that, thus free, she shall take her proud place among the republics of America." "Good!" exclaimed Holton, after reading the message. "Nothing ambiguous about that, is there?" "Not a thing," laughed Miley. "I suppose you want this." "It would be invaluable," responded Holton eagerly. "May I take it?" For reply, the tall, weather-beaten army officer handed Holton the cablegram. At sunset he proceeded to the spot suggested by young La Tossa. and found him already mounted and holding another pony by the bridle. "You are on time," he said. "This is your horse, and I suggest we start at once." For an hour they rode In silence, and finally paused in a copse of woods outside the little settlement called Sevilla. Here the young Cuban dismounted, and Holton did likewise, looking inquiringly at the boy. The latter smiled half mockingly, and Holton, advancing to him, placed his hand upon his arm, while he regarded the youth with curious eyes. "You make me think very much of your sister," he said. "Do I?" The fellow laughed. "You care for my sister, then?" Holton flashed back a quick glance at the boy. "Care for her! Look here, youngster, I care for her so much that if she doesn't look out I'm going to be your brother some day." A laugh broke from La Tossa. "I have heard her say pretty much the same thing," he chuckled. Holton took both his shoulders in a mighty grip. "You have I" he cried. "Quick now, boy, are you Joking?" The other wriggled away and placed his hand ruefully upon his shoulder. "You needn't crush my bones in," he grumbled. "Of course it's true." Holton leaped upon the pony. "Come on. Let's go to her." His tone was as ardent as a cavalier's. "Not now," was the laughing reply. "We must stay here until it is dark." Young La Tossa pointed toward a crumbling building. "Do you notice the peculiar shape of that roof?" he asked. "Well, I have Hottert Took Beth His 8houlders In s Mighty Grasp. an idea you will be in this vicinity later. If you are, remember the shape of that roof. Inside that very building—" He paused. "But my sister will tell you," he added. The darkness grew rapidly denser, untfl at last It was sufficiently black to suit* the wishes of the young Cuban. Mounting their ponies, the two turned in the direction of Santiago, and had Just entered a trail leading through low hushes', covering an immense area, when a man, gun in hand* stepped out in front of them. Holton's revolver leaped from Its holster, but his companion pot out a restraining hand. "Wen, Pierre r he asked sharply. -Miss La Tossa,- responded the man, "is here." A thrill shot through Holton, and he was on the ground in an instant The brother followed suit, and the next tnetanl the form of the girl tronxea Butt, Putnam Fadeless Dyes will fast until the goods wear out.

Moodily he saw the girl regarding him with luminous, smiling eyes. "I am so happy to know you escaped," she began. "Yes, thanks to you," was Holton's warm reply. She walked close to htm, then turned to her brother and to the Cuban. "Will you pleaBe leave us for a few minutes?" she commanded. "I muat speak with Mr. Holton alone." Holton said nothing, but waited while the two, thus adjured, moved into the bushes out of earshot. "Mr. Holton," she said then, with a little catch in her voice, "I don't know why I am doing this, but it is because I believe in you and in your country." "You are Justified, I am sure, in believing in both me and my country," replied Holton. "I am sure of it. Tonight, Mr. Holton, at Sevilla, in the building which my brother pointed out to you—he did point it out, as I asked him to, did he not?1' "Yes," nodded Holton, "he pointed it out." "In that building," she continued, "tonight, there is to be a meeting of officers high in the Cuban army, at which an immediate outbreak against the soldiers of the United States will be discussed." Holton started. "Garcia—will he be there?" he asked. "Garcia will not be there, nor Rabi, nor Castillo." Holton laughed. "Then," he declared, "the meeting will not amount to much." "Do not be fooled," was the warm rejoinder. "It will amount to a great deal. You know—or do you?—the condition of your army. Sickness is beginning." "Yes, but a majority are well, and I myself know the straits of the Spanish army, for I have been in Santiago. I myself have Informed General Shafter that Toral can muster at most not more than twelve thousand men, If that" "Yes, yes," she responded, tapping her foot impatiently. "I do not come here to argue, Mr. Holton. I tell you only this: Toral has not surrendered, because he knows of the threatened revolt of the Cubans against your men. He is waiting for that to happen, and will take what advantage may be gained from the result This may be serious. There are six thousand Cubans immediately upon the field. Their attack upon the American flank, coupled with the attack of the Spaniards upon the front, will drive your countrymen to the sea." Holton shook his head. "Why, MIBS La Tossa, this deed is suicide for your country. It can mean but one thing—the wiping out of the Spaniards and the Cubans, and in the end the very colonization you dread. For if this happens I cannot see but the United States will have the best sort of object-lesson to show that the last thing of which you are capable Is self-government." "That is true," she agreed. "I have come to realize it I had been led astray in my views. But now, thanks to you—and to others—I sec more clearly." He looked at her face, dim m the darkness. "And that is why you wished to see me?" "Not altogether," she replied. "Well, you must hurry, because I wish to say something to you, too," he reminded her. The girl moved impatiently toward him. "To night—I wish to ask you what I should do about the meeting. I alone of those not in the conspiracy know of it. What shall I do? Shall I send word to General Garcia? Is It better that you should inform Shafter—" Holton interrupted, "No, no, not Shafter," he cried. "The Americans must take no action that might precipitate any sort of a fight with the Cubans." "Well, Garcia then?" "A fight with the Cuban ranks would be almost as bad." "That is true. What then?" Holton thought a moment Then he looked up. "I will go to the meeting," he announced. "You!

There are few subjects on whfrh sc much "scientific" nonsense is talked "and written as on heredity. Not very znuch is known of It as regards plants, Jess of animals and almost nothing na regards humanity. To read books on heredity, especially those of the Eugenic society, is to read a mass of sup positions and hazardous inductions "where most of the facts are negative and only the exceptions are positive. The very meaning of "hereditary" is not understood. If any quality is truly hereditary then it is always he red! tary. It never occurs except as the remit of heredity, and It is constantthat is to say. it invariably follows But there is no quality of which this can be said. That genius is not hereditary is known. Even talent is not Nor is any aptitude. A. lawyer's son more often wants to be u soldier or an artist than a lawyer, notwithstanding the environment, and it is so with most professions. The exceptions seem t>> be due to training and influence, not t<» hereditary transmission. A superficial likeness to parents seems hereditary, but that is all that we can assert, and that outward 11 Ue Bess by no means infers an inw:\nJ likeness. There is nothing so eas.\ and nothing so fatal as this tendency to attribute to heredity what is due to training or want of training. It ox cuses suplpeness in governments and professions.—H.

I'll bet there's 0,000 more people here than they expected. I guess that means I'll have to go in and prepare about 4,000 more ham sandwiches." "Well," remarked Cobb, "that will pretty nearly necessitate the cutting of another ham, won't it, Harry?"—Everybody's. Green Liquid Soap.

When the Carlisle Indians Outwitted Harvard's Highbrows. In football a full field run from kick off to touchdown is a rare play. Once it was made by a Carlisle Indian, wuv covered the long distance in a game against Harvard, Oct. 31, 1903, and did so by the craftiest, wiliest stratagem ever perpetrated by a redskin upon his pale faced brother. The first half had closed with the Indians in the lead five points to none Harvard opened the battle by sending a long kick to Johnson on Carlisle's Ave yard line. The Indians quickly ran back to meet Johnson and formed a compact mass around him. Within the recesses of this mass of players Johnson slipped the ball beneath the bacU of Dillon's Jersey, which had been especially made to receive and hold the ball. Then, the ball thus secretly transferred and hidden, Johnson uttered a whoop such as Cambridge had not heard since the%days of King Philip's war, and instantly the bunch of in dlans scattered In all directions. Sonuj ran to the right and some to the left, some obliquely and some straight up the center of the field, radiating in all directions like the spokes of a wheel. The crimson players, now upon them, looked in vain for the ball, dumfound ed, running from one opponent to an other. Meanwhile Dillon was running straight down the field so as to give his opponents the least opportunity for a side or rear view and conspicuously swinging his arms to show that they did not hold the ball. Thus, without being detected, he passed through the entire Harvard team, excepting the captain, Carl B. Marshall, who was covering the deep backfield. Obeying instructions, Dillon ran straight at Marshall. The latter, as suming that the Indian Intended to block him, agilely sidestepped the Car lisle player, and as he did so he caught sight of the enormous and unwonted bulge on the back of Dillon. Instantly divining that here was the lost ball, Marshall turned and sprang at Dillon, but the latter waja well oa his way and quickly crossed the line for a touchdown.—Parke H. Davis in S t Nicholas.

Here is one way: take the can of a lowpriced powder in your hand and Tead the ingredient clause upon die back label The law requires that if the powder contains alum that fact must be there stated. If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sul- ^ te of aluminum, you have found an alum ing ponder. There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders.

These include such things as eggs, cakes, flowers, presents and the Easter hare, to say nothing of other items obsolete in our times. Individual notlngs of one or another of the cere,- monies or observances have there been, hut it is by no means easy to lay one's hand on any assembling of them. They represent very ancient customs of devotion or superstition, which like the disaster of spilling salt or of sitting thirteen at table are persisting relics of a time when the world was filled with signs and omens. Authorities agree that the remote ancestor of Easter was a ceremony of pagan worship. Distant as are the origins of the old religious forms and intertwined as are the threads, connecting them with the present, it is not now easy to disentangle them, so that it may be said that Easter observances among the people include remnants of the ancient worship of the sun, the moon and fire and water. The keynote of the festival has been from the very beginning resurrection, the re-awakening of the vernal world. The name is that of a goddess of spring, and certain of the emblems have had a co-relation that is remarkable, and through thirty centuries they have come down to us together, preserving the early significance of resurrection, although the faith that originated the ideas had ages ago been forgotten. The idea of Easter sprang truly from a tomb; that tomb was, however, the tomb of winter. The strong-angel that rolled away the stone from the door of the Bepulcher was the April sun. Although Lent has the claim of Christian origin, there are antiquarians who assert that it is of far more ancient origin. It arose, as nearly as has yet been determined, in the fasting that was customary among the , Babylonians, whose worship formed the starting point of Easter. The fast was one of sympathy with the goddess of reproduction, who mourned her consort, and the period was marked by fasting and an abstinence from mirth and social festivals. Fasting has been a widespread custom, Humboldt noting fasts in Mexico, where, curiously enough, the invading Spaniards found the natives practicing baptism, witb an invocation to Cioacooatl that "the sin which was given before the beginning of the world might not visit the child, but that cleansed by these waters it might live and be born anew." Easter was at first a continuation of the Jewish Passover and came on the fourteenth of the month Nisan. When the revulsion of feeling in the church against the Jews occurred it was changed and deliberately fixed so that it could by no possibility fall on the same day as the Passover. This matter was settled in A. D. 325. Easter was set for the first Sunday following the full moon that comes after March 21. This relation to the vernal equinox brought it to the time of the pagan festival of the goddess of spring, dating back to the Astarte worship of Babylonia. The name, Easter, is comparatively modern, but the principle of the "story and the emblems and observances are of this ancient date. "EaBter fires continue even now in northern Europe," wrote Grimm a generation ago. On the Weser a tar barrel was tied to a fire tree and lighted In the evening and the men and the maidens sang and danced about i t ' There was a fire on every hilltop. There were processions to these fires and hymn singing and the bearing of white rods were features. The people liked to carry the fire home with them; it was a sacred fire and embodied elements of the old fire worship. It was produced by friction, a natural method, and to kindle it two boys were selected who knew nothing of the vanities of the world. Within a quarter of a century k in Hildesheim the Easter fire b f l i f been struck with the steeL Here Aft) •people take the fire home to rekJneUt their extinguished hearths. The' otC sacred fires were lighted by natural4 means, some of them by concentration of the sun's rays through mirrors. y ' There U something better than stepping to count ten when you are angry; ooont a hundred. \ X t .

Westbrook, Me. — ** I was pacing through the Change of Life and had pains in my back and side and was so weak I could hardly do my housework. I have taken Lydia E.

I will recommend your medicine to my friends and give you permission to publish my testimonial." —Mrs. LAWRENCE MAETIN, 12 King S t , Wostbrook, Maine.

Aunt Llndy had brought around her three grandchildren for her mistress to see. The three, little darkies, in calico smocks, stood squirming in line while LJndy proudly surveyed them. "What are their names, Lindy?" her mistress asked. "Dey's name' after flowers, ma'am. Ah name,'era. De bigges' one's name' Gladlola. be nei' one, she name' Heliotrope." "Those are very pretty," her mistress said. "What is the little one named?" "She name' Artuhflclal, ma'am." Bolstering Bad Bills. "How does Hamlet Fatt manage to keep in vaudeville?"

This law applies to the drivers of both new and old cars. Auto owners in this part of the state are rejoicing over the, fact that the new "Auto tax law" has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court.

How wonderfully tight the spring wander-lust for the countryside grips onel Spring fever, with all of its healtbfulnese, is the harbinger of fresh hopes and a buoyancy of Bpirit I noticed a passenger on a Detroit- Chicago train the other day who had started out on his trip with the evident intention of becoming deeply taken with one of the best sellers, that he might shorten the trip between the two cities. You have done the same thing yourself. But his book had been cast aside. He had read only a few pages. His interest in it had lagged. From the car windows he was counting the fields now bared of snow. The ditches were carrying away the water and the still less sluggish creeks were now streams bearing the overflow to the rivers. The farmer, in his shirt sleeves, was repairing the fences after the winter drifts; the cattle showing proof of a winter's stabling and how heading here and there toward the meadows, seeking the new-green _patcbes of grase; the farm help, ID field" and stubble, was putting—into repair this and that necessary feature, here looking after his plow and there his harrow, and on all sides were scenes which reminded the traveler that spring was here, at last! Ae the train sped onward and glimpses of the painter as he worked on the weather-beaten buildings were revealed, the interest of the tourist was aroused and, when I asked him the reason, he answered: "Spring is here and I feel its blood flowing!" The truth was, that like many others, he was planning the work he was to do the coming summer. He was going out to the farm—his farm In Western Canada. He had his wells to dig, his horses to get into shape, his grain implements to fix up, his seed grain to prepare, and other details for the land that was ready to receive it. Hie was what might be termed an "unrest"—to get to the farm! Thousands In Western Canada today are making the preparations that this interested man contemplated. Their summer fallows are ready for the wheat, their spring plowing is being attended to, fences are being rebuilt or being put into repair; indeed, the entire country is one great hive of industry. Railroads are in readiness to take care of a great rush of settlers, those charged with the reception of whom are prepared to extend every courtesy and thus meet the rush with judgment and without the least friction. Thus, the enjoyment of the opening of spring is fully met. At many of the stations throughout many of the middle western states, trains of settlers' effects are in readiness to move to Western Canada. Not only in these states are scenes of this kind to be witnessed, but, also, on either coast and throughout the eastern states there is the same activity among those going to Western Canada this spring. The crops have been heavy and all reports are that the winter was enjoyable; also, that the prospects for a satisfactory year were never better. There is plenty of land yet to be had by homsteadlng or otherwise. Adapted, as Western Canada is, to small grain farming, it is especially adapted to cattle raising and many of the farmers are placing small and large herds, aa their individual means will permit The illustrated literature sent out by the Canadian government agents tells the truth clearly and the inquirer should send for & copy and if you be one of those who has an ambitious Interest, you may be the gainer by a perusal of such information— straight, cold facts in themselves^- Advertisement. FRANCESCO VILLA TAKES TORREON REBEL GENERAL IS SUCCESSFUL AFTER LONG AND BLOODY FIGHT. CLIMAX OF FIRST CAMPAIGN Victors Will Now March On Toward Mexico City In Attempt, to Overthrow Victorian? Huerta. Catering to All. A Boston merchant tells of an old grocer in Massachusetts who was about as "slick" an article as one would care to meet "One day," says the Bostonlan, "I stopped before his shop and looked curiously at a long line of barrels of apples, some marked with an '•,' tome marked with a 'Z.' "'What Is the meaning of these markings?' I asked. 'The barrels seem to contain the same kind, of apples/ "'They are the same kind, son,' the old gentleman replied, 'but some customers want a barrel opened at the top and some at the bottom/ " A Leading Question. *Re-»i could tango forever. Sbe-^How long could yo* bring up #oa! and sift aaaaof Torreon, Mexico—Torreon, strewn with the dead and wounded of a sixday battle, was occupied by the rebels Thursday night on the heels of the fleeing federals. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The taking of Torreon, marks the climax of the first campaign of the revolution to oust Victorian© Huerta from Mexico City. It gives the Constitutionalists virtual control over the whole northern tier of Mexican states. Already the rebel nf>vement toward Monterey and Saltillo has begun. The next great battle between the forces of Carranza and Huerta will be fought in these two places. The-flghting began last Friday, and was almost continuous. At first, Villa attempted assaults on the strong Federal positions in daylight, but these proved costly, so the days were spent in cannonading and the night in assaults. Positions were taken and lost time and again. Several night attacks sent the Federals scurrying from strong positions, but at daybreak the captors would be the strength and accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire, much of which lsvsald to have been directed by French and German gunners. Losses have not been compiled, but Gen. Villa estimated his own losses at 660 killed and 1,500 wounded, and the Federal loss at 1,000 killed and 2,500 wounded, with an unknown number of prisoners.

REFERENDUM ON APRIL HTH Leaders Point Out That Non-Union Operators Would Like to See Strike in the Union Fields. Indianapolis, Ind.—Ratification of the action of the scale committee of the United Mine Workers of America at Chicago means "industrial peace; if rejected, a strike," according to a circular sent out from the international headquarters of the organization here and made public Friday. The circular calls for a referendum vote April 14 upon the decision of the miners' representatives at the conference to withdraw wage demands and recommending that such questions of working conditions which the miners feel are in need of adjustment should be taken up with the operators locally, the miners meantime to remain at work. Among the reasons given for ratification of this-plan are that "coal markets, together with industrial .and economic conditions, do not justify a strike at this time, if such can honorably be avoided." The circular further declares that non-union operators are anxious to see a strike in "the organized field," and charges that representatives of the former were at the Chicago conference and at the previous one in Philadelphia, "doing all in their power to bring about a disagreement and a strike." "We are unwilling to play into their hands," it continues, "by going on a strike, throwing the mines idle and thus allowing them to fill the markets with non-union coal." HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL Measure for Be/iefit of Widows of Soldiers of Recent Wars. Washington.—Pensions for widows and minor children of the officers and men who served in the Spanish war, the Philippine insurrection and the boxer uprising in China would be authorized by a bill which passed the house late Wednesday by a vote of 276 to 64. The bill would grant $12 monthly to the widow of an honorably discharged soldier or sailor and $2 monthly for each child under 16 years of age, provided that the widow shall have married the soldier prior to the passage of the bill. The pensions are to be limited, however, to widows without means of support other than their daily labor and an actual net income not exceeding $250 a year. TO APPRAISE P. M.

There is a New York woman who goes twice a year to Chicago with her husband, when the latter makeB periodical business trips. They always stay at the same hotel—a large though quiet house, which gets a good deal of Chicago and Illinois trade. The New Yorkers have come to be known to the woman housekeeper of the hotel. They have just returned from their latest journey to the city by Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs. New Yorker says: "I always used to think that the humorous paragraphs In the papers dealing with the frequency 6i Chicago divorces were jokes, but I know now they have a solid basis of fact The reason? Because when we were in Chicago this time the housekeeper of the hotel said to me: 'I'm so glad to se you back again, ma'am. And you know—if you'll excuse me saying it—you're the only lady that comes back here year after year with the same husband.'

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his «t>mmand in the navy at the outset of the panish-American war and assigned to important secret service duty.

He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil.

On the contrary, I must ask you to slip that revolver from your friend's belt" He (stopped, as though struck with a thought "But you need not mind.

"Out of the way," repeated the Spaniard, with a sort of hissing of the breath. "Out of the way, or, by God! I'll shoot through you." There was the crash of an opening door. "What's thiB—this noise and shoutr ing?" came a deep voice. Holton, watching his enemy like a hawk, saw the revolver-barrel deflected from him, the man's head turned in the direction whence the voice had come. Springing backward and sidewise like a deer, Holton shot across the room. There was a loud report—a bullet singed his hair. The next instant he had leaped through the window, glass and all, and was on the porch. Prom here, as two bullets sped after him, he leaped down upon the back of a horse that war-toeing held "by a soldierr Striking the animal with the butt of his revolver, he went careering off /through the darkness like a rocket Prom the men on the drive, from men on the porch, came a rain of bullets; and Holton, who had learned a trick or two in the way of horsemanship, slipped down along the animal's body, shielding himself almost completely. But the horse was exposed, and a whining bullet pierced the steed to the heart. He suddenly plunged forward, throwing Holton to the ground, then rolled over and was still. Holton landed on his knees, and, although jarred, was not stunned. He scrambled along desperately, regaining his feet, and struck out for the woods, about a^hundred feet away. He toiled oh for two hours, distancing all sounds of pursuit and then flung himself on the wet ground like a tired animal and fell at once into a iQeep sleep. When he awoke the sun was shining through the trees. But it was not this that had roused him. It was the roaring of field ordnance and the racketing of small arms. Evidently they were at it again. His one thought was that this was the 2nd of July, and that on the morrow the Spanish warships meant to dash out of the harbor and attempt an escape. His fleet must be warned. That was what he was there for, and this, from now on, must be the single aim of his life, the one thought in his mind, the supreme struggle of his body. By constant concentration upon the object of his mission, he brought his mental condition into a sort of hysteria. The heat, too, had got Into his brain. As he stumbled over a log he would Bob or. curse, and once, when he tripped and was thrown flat, he lay for a second, weeping like a child. So he went on until once, upon climbing a jtree to ascertain his position, he looked down upon the upper waters of the harbor. He was on the hills to the right, and another hour's Journey would bring him within signal of his fleet He struggled feebly, and then lay back with the realisation that great at was the exigency, he was not able to meet it A sort of stupor, partly hunger, partly fatigue, stole over him, and he closed hit eye*. It was night when he opened them again, starlit night At first he could not recall where he war Then he remembered, and with a start remembered why he was there. He tat up and with difficulty got on hit feet Then he walked. He did not know he was walking; he had no conscioutneea of moving, and no sense of direction; but hit subconscious powers were leading him right A breath of pure salt air blew on hit face. He turned toward a line of brush and parted it, and there, below him, lay the Spanish fleet, their lights, reflected in'the velvet water*, twinkling and winking. He heard the chug-chug of a steam launch, and several timet the murmur of a voice rote to hit ears. Farther down. In the moonlight, he could tee the marts and funnel of Hobson's Marrlxnac. 8hlps* bells struck at ha looked,^ and the sound floated sweetly to the hilltops.

Ha panted, and than stole noiselessly onward, until at latt patting through a growth of manlgvt, the wide expanse of the Caribbean lay before him. Hare ha flung himself, on the ground waited tor morning. Hit limbs pain. His eyea burned with fever, bis head throbbed. And yet all these things he regarded lightly, for the Caribbean was in front of him, and the American fleet would receive his warning as soon as God brought the dawn. CHAPTER XII: Destroying a Fleet. It was well past dawn when Holton awoke. He was In a panic of fear that he had permitted valuable time to elapse. He rose to his feet stiffly and broke through the bushes until the blue Bea lay beneath him. Hla eyes were strained to the left, where the stern of the flagship was swinging toward him. He noticed black smoke belching from the funnels. Evidently the New York was leaving her station when the ships of the enemy were preparing to come out of the harbor where they had been bottled up for so long. Cold sweat stood out upon Holton*B forehead, and, hastily throwing aside his coat and tearing off his shirt, he took from beneath it a white signal flag, which he had carried around his body for days against just this emergency. Breaking off a branch and knotting the corners of the flag to it, he sprang tensely into position. The flagship was leaving beyond peradventure. Her stern was still toward him, and it was growing smaller. The admiral going away, of all times! In desperation he raced along the hill, trying to catch an angle where his signaling would be seen. Pinally, seeing the futility of further running, Holton stopped, and began swinging the flag right left, right left, with frantic energy. For five, ten minutes he repeated the T. E, call, but without eliciting the slightest response, and so, ceasing his exertions he watched the New York move away with tears springing from his eyes. The Brooklyn had swung broadside to him, and the picturesque ram bow and the tall funnels were as cleanly cut against the sea at a cameo. Admiral Schley, he knew, was on board her, and must of necessity be the commander- in-chief pending Sampson's return. So it was to this rakish craft that he now turned his attention. Walking to a point as nearly abreast of her as he could get, he began snapping the flag right and left in the effort to attract her attention. If he could only get her now, and could deliver his message, there was no doubt that the New York could be recalled by a signal gun. So Blmple did this seem that he wondered why he had not thought of it before. He swung his flag with fresh ardor, but It was at though he were signaling to Mart, so far as any answer was concerned. Holton could see a launch leaving the Indiana for the Massachusetts, Everything was peaceful. From the city drifted the tweet notes of the matin bells and through the trees he could catch glimpses of the red roots and the blues and greens and browns of the houtet of Santiago. Holton redoubled hit efforts with the flag. It teamed at If he had moved hit arms to and fro for an hour without response. He had to rest He lowered the flag and was leaning on the staff when suddenly from tike bridge of the Brooklyn ha taw a flutter of banting. At he looked be read that vetweTs call letter. No doubt now they had teen hit signal and were making h> Quiriet. Quickly raking hit nag~ over hit head he .repeated bla B. B. call and then, at he caught the answering flashes of white from taw Brooklyn, he began hit message*. And this la how It read: "Meetage to admiral from Teeufsn ant Holton." "All right Ready." "Cervera* fleet win teas* the har- 'bor this morning." There was a pauea. Holton waved hit flag frantically. "Did you gat I t r There was atOl no answer. Finally it came. "Repeat" Holton scowled, "Carrara's fleet will leave the bar* bor this morning." There was another pause. "Who are yonf* "Lieutenant Holton, Unfted States navy." - After a abort wait the flag an Brooklyn flatbed again. "The admiral sends his complimentt —and his thanks." There followed several up and down movements of the flag, Indicating that Admiral Schley had received all he wanted to know and that his mind waa already turning to more important matters of the hour. As Holton threw his flag aside and turned shoreward he saw two tall columns of black smoke arising from the direction of the harbor. They were coming! He dashed for his flag, but even as he did so he saw the flash of a tier of guns from Morro and Socapa, and then suddenly, as he glanced down toward the mouth of the bay, he saw a leaden-colored cruiser, with yellow and red flag of Spain snapping defiantly from her jack-staff, appear from behind- ttte hills, and theny as a pantherdashes from a cave in the mouth of which hunters have kindled a fire, she turned to the right and dashed Into the open sea. It seemed an age, but it was not more than a few Beconds, when a terrific roar shook the waters, and a burst of flame and gases rolled from a turret of ova of the American ships. Holton marked the course of the great thirteen-inch shell, saw the great, dark shape dart with lightning speed toward the Vizcaya, saw it hurtle over the deck, ricochet on the water, and explode in the woods beyond. Then the earth shook with fearful noise. From all the American ships, and from those of the Spaniards, great guns vomited forth their messengers of death and destruction. The sky grew dark, and a yellowish pall settled upon the sea. „ As Holton stood tense, following the combat as in a trance, he heard a tremendous explosion, and saw the Marie Theresa list sharply, and then saw her turn in toward the land, where she soon grounded. He could see men clinging to her decks. It was clear that the American vessels were overhauling the enemy's ships, although Holton had understood that, as regards speed, our vessels were inferior. The discharge of guns was incessant. Almost directly beneath him he saw two Spanish destroyers disengage themselves from the larger vessels and swing about, evidently with the intention of returning to the harbor; but like a hawk, a Good An Round aids to good health—and to the strength, comfort and cheerfulness which depend on thecondi^ tion of health—are the famous, time-tested, safe and speedy BEECHAM'S PILLS 8old • • o r r w h e r e . la boss*, 1 0 » * 200» SPECIAL TO WOMEN The most economical, cleansing and germicidal of all antiseptics Is A soluble Antiseptic Powder to be dissolved in water as needed.

The Bishop of London has a great store of anecdotes connected with his work in the East end of Loudon. One of them relates to an examination that was being held in a school. The examiner had asked one child: "What are the chief products of our Indian empire?" And the unhappy infant nervously proceeded to reel off the list she had got up by heart. "Please, sir, India produces curries and pepper, and rice, and citron, and chillies, and chutney, and—and— and—" "Yes, yes," said the examiner Impatiently*. "What comes after all that?"

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 2, 1914 No. 1' To The Taxpayers Of Livingston County At the election to be held April (J, 1914 th»jre will be a proposition oome before the taxpayers to vote upon to raise money bo build an addition to the County Infirmary. There eeems to be a feeling among a great many taxpayers that this is an unnecessary expense and that this improvement is being made for the benefit of the keeper and bis family. While it is true that the new addition, if built, would be occupied by the keeper's family aud the hired help, yet by so doing, they will vacate some of the best rooms in the house to make room for the women inmates. As the building now stands there is only OLC vaeaut room in the ladie*s ward. If it should happ3n that two women should be sent there at the present time it would be impossible to take care of them and this is liable to happen at any time. Tne oew part for whica we %re asking far three thousand dol 1 ars($3,000.- 00)to build will consist of a kitchen, pantry, four bed rooms, and a dining room in the base men ti for the inmates. If the taiptgpefft see fit to vote to raise the money to make this improvement on the County Infirmary it will be built on the same lines as the old building and not an elaborate affair as some people seem to think. This building-proposition is not an idea that originated with the present Board of Superintendents of the Poor but came thru an order from the State Board of Corrections and Charities to make such improvements as would remove t h e congested c o n d i t i o n of the home aud make it more Binitary. If something - is not done the State will take, the matter in hand and if they do it will cost us much more than if we take care of it ourselves. The following table will show what it will cost each township in the county according to the assessed valuation. Valuable Coin Collection L. E. Richards of this town has in his possession one of the finest private collections of coins in the state of Michigan, the oldest dating back as far as 500 B. C. There are among them the penny, (denarius) of Bible times so called because in ancieat times it consisted, denis assibus, (of ten a3ses.) ft was a Roman silver coin equal to about 7| d. of our money. A coin used in the Spain conquered by Julius Caesar is also one which young Latin students would be interested in. There are coins of silver and copper belonging to the reigns of old Roman kin^s dating from 500 B. C. dowp to 1646'A. D. The collection has been sent to several exhibitions and has always merited much praise. The coins are mounted between glass in a unique 'manner so that both faces may be readily studied. An accurate description of each denomination is written below each piece of mooeji. Mr. Richards has been offered a large sum of money to part with the collection, hut is wise in still retaining them in his possession. wsihtps Assessed Valuation Township Tickets The Democrats met last Saturday Afternoon and with a big torn out nominated the following ticket; Supervisor, James M.

Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing How It Is Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW 8. DUDGEON. •o»oo»»o»»»o»o»o»»»»»»» lOop^rlnht, i a i 4 , VWutern N e w s p a p e r Union. > COOPERATIVE GERMANY. Berlin, Germany.—The German farmer calls upon co-operation to sell him his supplies. He asks it to market his eggs and his butter. It distils alcohol out of his potatoes and makes wine for him out of his fruit. Everywhere in Germany you will find cooperative elevators and warehouses for storing grain, co-operative societies for improving the breed of live stock, co-operative banks for furnishing loans to members, co-operative insurance companies for insuring against every imaginable damage. Cooperative societies are formed to meet the needs of agriculture at every turn —producing the raw material, converting the raw material into salable form, and placing the finished product upon the market "Agricultural, co-operative societies have become so numerous in Germany as almost to jostle one another. There are at the present time more than 26,- 000 of them." These are the words of Henry Wolff, the great authority upon agricultural co-operation, and we have found his statement true. These 26,- 000 societies have nearly two and a half million members. Over half of these societies are credit associations, •which have a working capital of over $400,000,000. Moreover, the number of societies and the number of mem* tors are constantly Increasing. How German Farmer Co-operates. Everything the German farmer does he does co-operatively. If he wishes to purchase a farm he gets a 50 or 60 year loan from a Landschaften bank. "When he finds it necessary to buy implements or live stock, or seeds, he uses money borrowed from a co-operative credit society, making short time loans. He gets MB equipment of a cooperative store which furnishes him a guaranteed article at the lowest possible price. For when co-operation sells to the farmer, everything from garden seeds to threshing machines is guaranteed. If he wishes to insure his property he goes to a co-operative insurance company, which will insure Bis crops against loss by hall or wind; another cooperative insurance agency Insures his house against fire, while another insures his live stock against aicknesB, accident, or legal destruction, following the discovery of tuberculosis or other contagious disease. His stock cattle come to him from a co-operative breeding farm. From cooperative associations he gets his sci- -entifle instructions at to the care of rfcls cattle, as to the best feeds, as to the cure of animal diseases, as to the valuation of crops, as to fertilizers. His milk and cream he takes to a cooperative creamery, from which it is •old cooperatively. His very hens lay co-operative eggs which within an hoar after they are laid may bear the •tamp of a cooperative organization. Water 8upply Companies. One form in which cooperation has t evinced its efficiency in Germany 1B \ a rather unique one, and is one which tat least in some parts of the United ftates is worthy of careful study by American farmers. Scattered through- * o«t Germany there are many cooperative societies for supplying water to its members. There are in the province of Hanover alone, for example, 35 pack companies. Whether the community has been large or small, these smppty companies have generally sue- The advantages of co-operation in attfj.irtTftt; the problem of water supply have been thus summarised: "By cooperation a sufficient sum of money can be raised to enable a source of water to be tapped, unquestionable as to purity, softness and fluality; 2, Cooperation ensures extreme economy in maintenance and management; 3. Cooperation enables the smallest community to provide itself with a really good water supply." It is not impossible that there Is in this German experience a suggestion for the irrigation companies in western America, where mismanagement and graft seem to have prevailed. Certainly a truly co-operative association ganized upon the one man one vote plan, freed from all motives of excessive or speculative profits, and managed with the efficiency that Is traditional in cooperative concerns could never have made shipwreck of so many fair prospects as have some of the irrigation companies in the western states. Plowing by Steam. The owners of the big wheat farms in the northwestern parts of the United States might sit up and take notice of some of the cooperative power plow companies which are, operating in Germany. At present there are 46 -such societies. The entire power equipment is owned by the society, and its members, even though they occupy comparatively small farms, are by this means enabled to have the benefit of the Improved and cheaper work of the power plow. Experience here shows that the power plowing plant, consisting of a set of plowsr tackle and steam or electric power, cannot be maintained economically unless it4 has something like 2,000 acres upon which to operate. The Concerns are most carefully managed. A good machinist Is always in charge of the outfit In addition to his salary he is allowed a commission upon every acre plowed. He has entire charge of the operations and requires all members to remove all obstructions before work is undertaken. The rates are carefully graded according to the soil, the depth and the accessibility. In some cases, also, a less charge is made for plowing during the slack periods, the price being raised as the demand for services of the equipment increases. Cooperative Societies Federated. The cooperative spirit has not ceased when it has led the farmer to cooperate with his neighbors to form a local co-operative concern. The German genius for organization has led to a most elaborate system of coordination between the various local cooperative associations. For example, all cooperative dairies within a province will be united together In a central association which unifies and harmonizes the work of all the local organisations. These central provincial societies are in turn in an empirewide federation with headquarters at Berlin. Ton will therefore in that city find several central concerns, each of which Is allied with hundreds of local societies. This centralization scheme has many advantages. It provides for supervision, Inspection, and audit which leads to good accounting systems and good business methods. The central office serves as a bureau of information and advice. In case of marketing the central society, by reason of Its size and financial resources, gets into markets which would be altogether inaccessible to the little local concern. Without centralisation German cooperation would be much less effective than It la Increased Quantity. Here in Germany, as elsewhere, cooperation has not only enabled the farmer to make the most out of what he produces, but has increased the quantity and improved the quality of the product itself. This haa been true in every line where cooperative organizations have become active. The results in dairying are fairly representative. In Bradenburg tests were made in 1908 which covered the production of over 1,000 cows. The average yield of milk per cow was found to be 2,661 kilograms, producing 95 kilograms of butter, and netting a profit of 108.06 marks per cow. In 1910 the average yield had increased to 2,885 kilograms of milk, producing 101 kilograms of butter, and netting 132.95 marks profit for each cow, an Increase of 24.59 marks per cow, a matter of (5,000 on the 1,000 cows. German Cooperation Democratic. German cooperation 1B, to paraphrase the recognized formula for democracy "of the members, by the members, and for the members." Nobody thinks of a German co-operative society as organized for the purpose of declaring dividends. The utmost returns that those who hold shares receive is a five or six per cent, profit. If a creamery, for example, finds itself with undivided profits it does not distribute them to the members in proportion to the shares they hold, but to the members who as patrons bring in the milk and cream, and they go to them in proportion to the quantity and quality furnished by each. These profits constitute as it were an additional price, which the patrons receive for their product. All, too, are managed upon the "one man one vote" plan. The member who holds only one share and brings in the milk of only one cow has the same voting power as the farmer with a thousand shares and a thousand cows. Co-operation is most emphatically democratic. German co-operators themselves ascribe the success of their societies largely to good quality and good business methods. The societies pride themselves upon the fact that their output is better than that of privately owned plants. Their goods are in demand, they say, not because they are cooperative goods, but because they are good goods. The societies almost without exception have required that managers shall be skilled men with both experience and training. These positions pay good salaries, and, candidates spend time and money quail" fying themselves to hold them. As a result these concerns are most businesslike in every particular. The plants are efficient, the employers competent, and most excellent accounting systems are in vogue. Cooperative Credit. It Is noticeable that in Germany there are more cooperative credit societies than marketing societies. Moreover, the average German enthusiast will tell you that co-operation naturally begins with co-operative credit, rather than with cooperative marketing. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in America cooperative German Cooperative Elevator. credit associations should precede cooperative marketing. -Conditions in Germany differ greatly from those in the United States. In the first place, the privately owned banking houses of Germany did not serve the German farmer even as adequately as the American banker is now serving the American fanner. In the second place, marketing In Germany presents practically none of the difficulties encountered in America. Germany has by high tariffs forced the consumer to depend upon domestic production. The local demand for almost every farm product exceeds the supply. As a result there are two buyers demanding butter, for example, when only enough butter for one is available. There are no long hauls, as in America, no long distance commission business. The producer more nearly meets the consumer face to face and gets his price. German marketing as compared to American is direct, simple, and tree trem complexities. We must take the counsel of the German who ranks oo-operetive credit ae more important than, cooperative marketing with caution, since he has dealt with reversed conditions. We are firmly convinced, after ft careful survey, that at least in America, the more prosperous scheme of cooperative marketing is more important than cooperative credit ••'.,•• Boston's Celebration. One hundred years ago March 18 Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth anniversary of the evacuation of the city by the British troops under General Wilkinson during the Revolution. The celebration naturally was accompanied by a great display of enthusiasm, for the second war with Great Britain was then in progress and the spirit of patriotism was running high. Flags were displayed la profusion by the citizens and salutes were fired by the ships of war in the harbor. A large military and civic parade was the spectacular feature of the day. In the evening there were fireworks and illuminations and a public banquet at which patriotic addresses were delivered by officials of the state and city and officers of the army and navy. DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD 2760 Tamm Ave., St Louis, Mo.— "My little daughter's head began with a dry harsh scale covering it. .First it got a white scale over the top and then It got a dirty brown scab with pus under it. Her hair came out in less than, a week and her head Itched and bled. She had no rest. I had her wear a scarf all the time, it looked so badly. She was so sore and had such big brown scabs on her head that the teacher would not let her attend school. "We took and had her treated for three months with no relief. She kept getting worse until I tried Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cutlcura Soap every third day and the Cuticura Ointment at night. In three weeks her head was well of sores. Two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment completely cured her." (Signed) Mrs. Walter Rogers, Nov. 28, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address postcard "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."—Adv. Largest Monolith. What Is said to be the largest stone ever cut by human hands lies in an abandoned quarry near the ruins of Baalbek, in Syria. This mammoth obelisk is about seventy-five feet wide. Its weight Is estimated at fifteen hundred tons. High up in the wall of an old castle at Baalbek are other stones nearly as large. No one knows when the massive blocks were quarried, or how they were moved from place to place and hoisted into position, for the race that hewed them into shape carved no inscriptions or memorials upon them.—Youth's Companion. Had Sense of Gratitude. An old man walked two miles through the snow in New York city in order to carry an egg to the headquarters of one of the charitable organizations. The Boclety had given him a vacation in the country and a farmer had given him two pullets on leaving, so he had promised the first egg to the people who had been kind to him. Mother's Forgetfulness. Asked at Clerkenwell (Eng.) county court why two of her children bore the same Christian name, a woman said that, In registering the second one, she forgot about the first having the same name.

It coanee la many odd Bhapea. though the same decoration holds throughout. It is cream colored, with garlands of large, brightly colored German flowers. Pitchers are from 25 cents to $1. Breakfast plates are 85 cents apiece; cops, 15 cents; egg trays, $1; platters, SI; bowls, 50 cents. An attractive breakfast table is shown in the illustration. It is odd In design and takes up little space, as the four chairs are low of back and quickly. Small as the amount of white seems to be at a glance In such a suit, it is really half of the whole Burface so it is hardly to be wondered at that it soon needs to be sent to the cleaner. BRIGHT STRIPES THE VOGUE Colors and Combinations for Spring May Almost Be Described as Glaring. The Roman stripes with their das* sling bright hues are to be worn this spring by women. From all indications the red and gold stripes are to be displayed In erery possible guise, say the merchants. In vests and saahea and even in more startling ways the bright stripes are to be worn. The most popular way of wearing the Roman colors will be In sashes.. They are being shown In the stores made with a bow in the back, built high and with draping tassels on the side. The stripes also will be seen on the hats. The ribbons will be draped about the hat and will allow a sort of tassel to hang from the side or back. Other styles will be striped vests. Vests have been worn all winter, but the brighter stripes are to be the spring style. These are to be made with long points and cut on the bias, allowing the stripes to slant away from the points. FASHION HINTS are made to exactly fill the four quarter- spaces of the table. It is also a fine card table,. The amazingly low price for table and chairs is $21. It Is In dull old oak. An oblong, three-shelved stand, with a handle stretching above the top shelf, was seen at $12. This was similar to a muffin Btand, but newer of design. A delightful dining room accessory Is a fern stand. It has a zinc lined flower box, and is about the height of an ordinary table. These fern stands are often very handsome. One of mahogany with cane insets was seen at $17. This had square ends. And one with rounded box ends cost $20. A dull oak stand was $11. A mahogany tea-wagon, which Is shown In the last drawing, costs $20, and another one In oak and cane, with a cretonne-filled tray, Is $25. Two little high-chairs for the babies were most delightful little things—of mahogany, both of them. One at $22 was a Chippendale, and the other was a Windsor at $12.—Philadelphia Record. The woman of limited income will be wise to adopt one color for her • wardrobe, with variations of tone and treatment. The turban shows no signs of waning. One of the fashionable colors Is stone gray. Both long and short sleeves are fashionable. Among the late skirts are those out with yokes. Hats of corduroy are fashionable for young girls. Fabrics show designs borrowed from the Chinese. Many new spring costumes show the rippling flounce. For morning wear the silk or satin skirt holds its own. Rich flower tones appear in the colors of the new fabrics. Checks the Vogue. Checks are used almost as liberally M stripes and plaids. Black-end-white checked street suits are shown in all the newest outs. They are always a good choice for the women who need not be very economical. For the woman who can have only one suit the checked one is hardly the right choice. It is much more noticeable- than one of plain color, and therefore the owner of one tires of it more quickly than She would tire of a plain colored suit. Moreover, black-and-white checked woolen goods does grow soiled rather USE FOR QLD LACE CURTAINS May Be Employed for Effective Designs In Decorative Needlework as Suggested. The bouse wife who is the owner of some really pretty old lace curtains has jjn them valuable materials for economical decorative needlework If the fairly good parts of the curtain display effective designs. If the design Is small and dainty and enough duplicates' of it are Intact, then they may.be appliqued successfully to net for yokes, cuffs and even panels for children's wash dresses. For the 1st- . tar purpose the pattern should be sharply cut out and arranged to the best advantage on a background of linen or washable materia] And basted firmly, taking care that all of it Is perfectly flat Either buttonhole the outline invisibly in white or use a thicker thread and bolder stitch. Let the applique stand out distinctly; if fancy, dictates, work In veinlngs and other markings to suit your taste. It Is a comparatively, easy matter to convert the larger undamaged pieces of old lace curtains Into a variety of table and cushion covers, etc. By combining: with linen or batiste very effective bureau or table coram can be made in many attractive palterns. . "~v . White Gowns for Spring. So many and various of type are the white gowns now being made up for spring service, that unquestionably a "white" season confronts us. The costumes likely to be first worn—at after Easter church weddings and the like—are those in taffeta made up into skirts with circular flounces and into bodies trimmed with narrow ruffles, and the embroidered voiles, veiling bengaline slips. Somewhat less elaborate are the ratine gowns made up with heavy filet lace and with girdle and pipings In colored voile, and the wool crepons with embroidered batiste yoke and sleeves. New Handkerchiefs. There Is quite a departure from customary handkerchief styles this season. Some are trimmed with footing; black and white handkerchiefs are quite the thing; colored handkerchiefs are very fashionable, the handkerchief proper being the color and the border of white.

Blight's disease 1B one of the final stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills la our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two—consumption and pneumonia. Bright'* disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney disease and uric poisoning. When urio acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by overindulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there ia headache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine. Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stone in the kidney, or crystallizes into Jagged bits in the muscles, joints or on the nerve tubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney colic. «4 I dortt know what ails nu.** It is but a further step to dropsy or Bright's disease.

CORN CAN BE GROWN ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES Manitoba is now commencing to produce considerable corn, chiefly for feeding purposes. In some cases, where the crop can be matured into the dough stage, silos could be used and would be a profitable investment According to the Farm and Ranch Review, a correspondent visited a field of corn in southern Manitoba on September 28. The corn then was untouched by frost and it stood on an average eight and nine feet in height. The corn had developed into the dough stage, and the crop would easily exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many experimental farms, the same favorable showing of the corn crop has manifested Itself. At the Brandon experimental farm this year several varieties, all very good ylelders, matured into good silo corn. Considering the success with which corn can be produced, and the advantages to be gained by so producing it, should not It receive the serious attention of the western agriculturist? Corn is successfully grown in the northern part of Minnesota In similar soil and under the same climatic condition, and there does not appear to be any reason why like results should not be secured in western Canada. It Is the opinion of many American farmers of experience that the corn belt is extending northward. The prairie provinces must gradually take up with mixed farming. More stock on the farms must be raised, and In consequence farming must to some extent be diverted from grain growing to other necessary crops. If crops suitable for wialf/ing^attle and especially dairy stock are to be grown, why should not corn be one of these crops? In Ontario and in the United States we find it forms the main bulky food for wintering beef and dairy cattle. They would not be without this profitable plant. In fact, since Its introduction almost twice as much stock can be retained on the same amount of land, besides considering Its great value for keeping Che land clean. Some may say that many crops that can be grown in Ontario and the States cannot be grown here, but not so with corn, even now we find scattered fields of corn in Alberta and Saskatchewan,—Advertisement Eloquence is ordinary gab with its Sunday garments on.

TITLE OF ACT NOT GERMANE TO BODY. 8tate Highway Department Will be Compelled to Abandon Twentyfive Pvr Cent of State Reward Roads. SAYS DEATH RATE AMONG It.DIANS IS GROWING Lansing, Mich.-—The automobile tax law passed by the 1913 session of the legislature was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court Thursday. It ig one of the most important decisions rendered by the court this year. The aecretary of state has already collected more than 1286,000 from automobile owners in the state at 50 cents a horsepower, and has a gigantic task in remitting back the difference of about 1190,000, between the usual $3 license and the amount paid. At least 11,000 checks and vounchers will have to be made out Owners of electric machines will have to pay again, as many of these cars were not taxed as much under the new law as under the old license system. The supreme court only passed on one question, the title of the act It holds that the act is a tax law and that the body of the act Is not germane to the title of the act. In its opinion the court says in part: "The clear purpose of the legislature in exacting so large an amount under the guise of regulation, makes it a tax measure, which clearly, is not covered by the title of the act "The obvious purpose of the new law, increasing the fees according to horsepower, was to increase the highway fund. There'can be no more labor or expense In registering a vehicle of high horsepower than in registering one of low horsepower, and the only reasonable purpose In the graduated fee it the increased revenue." Officials of the state highway department to which the funds derived from the tax was to ge say that the division will mean that at least 21 per seat of the state reward reads to have boon built this year will have to be given up, that the department will have to quit payment en state roads late la August or early In September. The trunk line fund is intact and will not be disturbed. The auto tax law was the outgrowth of the effort of the state legislature, to provide for a system of trunk line highways, forming a network throughout the state. CATO SELL8.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his Command In the navy at the .^jtfset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to Important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful J'oung- lady. She thanks him for hie servce and gives her name aa Mias La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Hoiton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They m*et on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she Is a Cuban a>y and expresses doubt regarding the ncerity of the Urrfted States. Holten Is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who Is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton Is ordered to • return to Tampa. He-saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Oarcia's command In the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots Against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. XaMton Is seised by friends of the spy and liter is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes find saves the American troops from fallng Into a Spanish ambush. He learns from Gen. Garcia that the spy Is Joss Cesnola, one of the moat trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle.at San Juan. CHAPTER X.—Continued. Presently he came to a street which presented a vista of a long line of fttreet lamps. Evidently It led into the heart of the city. Holton followed It past stores and houses, until at length he stood in the patio before the "palace." Here there were lights in all the windows. Evidently the official machinery was working overtime. The lights gave him a sense of comfort, the doubtful sort of comfort that a man out In the cold feels when he looks in at a company gathered about a genial fire, Holton's emotions were those of a pariah. He was an outcast, and more than that an outcast who would speedily feel a hempen rope about his neck If he were not extremely careful. Somehow the thought that he was a spy had slipped his mind for the time being. For more than an hour he stumbled along, leaving the city, crossing the tracks of the Sabanllla and Maroto railroad, until he came to a gate guarded by a thatched lodge. Upon the wails of the gate were emblasoned the Spanish coaterf-anns. It was thrown back, and a soldier stood In the opening. "Who comes there?" he asked, bringing his gun across his chest "Cardenas," cried Holton, giving the countersign as he had heard It several times that night He walked forward. 1 have a message from General Toral for Senor La Tessa. Doee be Mrs here?" be added. The sentinel threw bis gun into the hollow of his arm. "No," he replied. 'Ton must walk up this road two miles.. It is the first estate on your left" Holton politely thanked the soldier and proceeded on his way. His shoes were caked with mud and his clothing dragged heavily. And he was both tired and sleepy. He moved as though In a dream. He was really not more than half awake. And yet he was not aware of the passage of a great amount of time when he passed in front of another thatched lodge, with the dark outlines, ofa large house, lying back oa the top *of*a gent)e hill There wai no soldier at the gate here, and as he walked up the winding path he could not discover a single light in the great man* ejon. At least he could see nothing In the way of illumination until he got Quite close, and then through a crevice in the tightly drawn shades of what apparently was one of the larger rooms he made out a tiny gleam, At least the house was not deserted. He walked close to the window-and found that the front veranda passed under it 80 he mounted' the steps sad, stealing to the window, glued bis eye to the crevice. He could see a table, and around !t some men in uniform, drinking and smoking. The figures were, of course, Indistinct, and although Holton could eaten the sound of their voices, he could not make out what was being •aid. As he crouched thus under the window- ledge the front door opened, and a flfaie end of the long veranda. Here the man emitted a low whistle, which was not answered. With a muttered exclamation, the stranger retraced his steps, and, walking directly past Holton In the other direction, leaned over the railing and whistled again. Holton never afterward knew what possessed him, but he noticed that the man had left the front door slightly ajar. Acting upon quick thought, he suddenly leaned down, unlaced his shoes, and then, with a quick glance at the fellow still leaning over the railing and cursing under his breath, he stole from his position, made for the open door, and slipped hastily and noiselessly Into the halL A light with a deep red shade was burning here, and the shadows it cast were heavy. The door of the room into which he had been peering was half open, and across the hall, directly opposite, was a corresponding room, the interior of which was not lighted. Into this apartment, scarcely breathing, Holton stole, standing inside the jamb and listening with strained ears. Before he could adjust himself to the sense of what was being said, the man who had emerged from the door when Holton was on thesveranda returned into the hall, closed the door and entered the lighted room. He was attired in the uniform of a captain in the navy, and his entrance seemed to quiet somewhat the ardor of the argument. "It is agreed, then gentlemen, that the city cannot long endure a siege T" The voice was deep and authoritative. Hoiton, in an ecstasy of eagerness, craned his head forward. "I for one deny it," was the angry response. "But aside from you, general," was the rejoinder, "we seem unanimous Do we not?" There was a chorus of assent Then Hoilton heard a voice that he recognized; a voice that sent thrills down his spine and caused him to loosen his. revolver In Its holster. "Shatter's army alone would not suffice. But I know that General Miles with reinforcements will soon be here, and I know, also, that while General Shatter would prefer to abandon his present position, he will not do so. I can inform you, too, that the lines of our army will not be attacked by charge on the morrow, and that a long siege will be entered upon. The Americans are in excellent health, and they will starve us to submission/' It was the voice of the waiter of the New Willard. "But Senor Cesnola,M interposed the first speaker, "you have led us to believe that within a week, at least, your Cuban rebels will turn upon the Americans," "They will when I give the word.** Then why not give itf" « "Because the time is not ripe. They would be wiped out of existence. That time must come when the fever has He Qliied Hie l y e to the Crevice. begun its work and the army is beginning to be demoralised. T w o - three—five more days in the trenches on the hillsides under this hot sun, will do oar work for m " . "Gentlemen," went on the first speaker, "my mind Is made up. Tomorrow la the find of July. We shall make no more then. But I wan yon, if on the morning of Jury S the situation it still unchanged the fleet win leave Santiago harbor, Orders from Blanco are getting Imperative. If we survive the attempt and reach Havana we shall be safe; it cannot be taken, I believe, in a year's siege. Here the successful storming of our lines means the end of our navy and the unsuccessful close of this war." "So this is your decision?" inquired another *vo tee. "Those are my orders and they are final." Holton, trembling like a leaf, his mouth hanging open, drank In the words as a drowning man drinks In his last breath of air. He could hardly credit his senses. Here, after a night of aimless stumbling through the blackness and through the rain, he had chanced upon the very place of all places where information most valuable to his country's success was to be obtained. The voices had fallen to a hum and, strain his ears as he would, he could catch no more than fragmentary sentences. Some one went out at the door, and presently the sound of horses' hoofs was heard on the shell driveway. Three men departed, and then Holton heard the scraping of chairs and the rattle of glasses, as though those that remained were preparing to spend some further time In their present quarters. Holton having put on his shoes, was on the point of stealing into the hall and out by the door when he decided that this, exposing him as it would to detection, was not the wise course. So he turned back into the room, purposing to open a window. As his hand touched the catch he was startled by a sudden blase of light and a voice. "Well, sir, what are you doing herer He turned to confront the young woman he loved. CHAPTER XI. A Close Call. Holton's first Instinct was to utter the girl's name; but flashing second thought came to his rescue, and he broke into a volley of Spanish ejaculations. As he went on she stood regarding him fixedly, and finally, seeing a peculiar expression settle upon her wonderful face, he paused. "Mr. Holton 1" Her voice was low, almost guttural. Holton sprang toward her. "Miss La Tossa—Ranee!" His voice, too, was low, quivering with emotion. She stepped back, and, pointing her finger at him, repeated with blaring eyes her first question. "What are you doing here?" Then she stopped and looked at him. "Do you realize what you have doner She reached up hastily and extinguished the lamp she had lighted. "Mr. Holton," she continued, as the young officer stood silently regarding her, "have you truly no desire to liver* "I was captured in the battle," re- ^ ^ llBtefl. M 1 « La Tossa, I have plied Holton. "I escaped and—and—" "How—why did you come in here?" "Because a soldier on the road—I mean, a farmer—a planter—told me this was your home." "And you wish me to hide your* "No, I wish to leave," "But you cannot" "1 came in here; lam able to leave." *No, yon are not," she whispered. "General Torsi's and Admiral Cervera'e escort are outside now." She peered oat of the window. "I can see them." Holton looked for himself, and saw the front of the house lined with mounted men. He faced her irresolutely. . "But I mast get away at once," he remonstrated. 1 cannot stay here." Then why did yon come here? How did yon get in?" "I wanted to see yon," replied Holton. "The door was open, and I walked in." She looked at him a moment doubtfully. Then she shook her head. "That was not why yon came here. Ton did not come here to nee me," "But, nevertheless, 1 wanted to see of • Heavy tapestry by Che door, then looked out into the hall. "Yes, father. Here L am." "Oh, yes! I wish you would ash Maria to prepare a guest-room for Senor Cesnola. He decides to remain the night with us." "Yes, father," and with a warning "S-sh!" Miss La Tossa went out into the hall and disappeared. The two men stood near the door, chatting, "My daughter," complained La Tossa, "is still very restive. She escaped from us the day before the battle on horseback, and was gone the entire day." "It Is just as well," was the laughing reply. "8he will do no harm now, for, while your daughter counts on the mine exploding after they have vanquished us, I can assure you that the fuse wi|l be lighted a great while before that rather visionary event" ?You told me that young naval officer who was with Garcia had been, executed," went on La Tossa. "I am rather sorry for that. He was a likable young man apparently." "You need spare your grief," was the rejoinder. "When I so informed you I believed my orders had been carried out But,, as it appears, he escaped." "Your orders!" ejaculated La Tossa. "And when have you assumed the prerogatives of life and death?" "Spies must assume Buch prerogatives occasionally," was the quiet reply. "This young man Holton was in a position to undo my work. He was in my way. As a consequence, I forged Muller's name to a warrant for his execution. That fact may wound your sensibilities; but this is war, not child's play." Holton's eyes fairly glared through the darkness, and yet, despite his anger, he was pleased to know that the murderous order was the work of a 'Well, Sir, What Are Hsrer You Doing renegade and that it had not the sanction of authority. "Well, I must say I am glad he was not executed," remarked La Tossa. "My daughter"—his voice sank low— "is, I believe, very fond of him." "And you approve?" "Oh, it has not gone so far as that! But I do knew that in some way her little secret amour has exerted upon her a repressing Influence, has caused her to mope and to brood—in other words, to curb activities which formerly caused me much worry." Miss La Tossa appeared at the moment and the two men rejoined their comrades in the opposite room. "Are you herer she whispered. "Yes." Holton stepped before her. She went on as though he had not spoken. "It la quite clear new." She was about to conttnae, when steps were heard in the haH and a voice called her name: "Ranee! Ranee, my otasctter?" She panned Hptton into the folds something I wish to tell yon. When** met you before I was unable to reassure your fears as to your country. Now I am. I have spent seven days among the leaders of our army, and I know their Intentions. I wish to assure you as a man of honor that as soon as Santiago is taken, as soon as the city and the province "are utterly rid of the Spaniards, and as soon as order is restored here, our troops are going to withdraw." - "Is this truer she whispered tensely. "It is true, and more. I heard Admiral Sampson and several high army officers assure General Garcia that as soon as practicable the Americans would withdraw, leaving him, General Garcia, as governor of the province. Now, there is no doubt of this at all I have heard It with my own ears—" He paused and held out his hand. "Are we friends r he added. She met his hand impulsively. "Yes, a thousand times, and God bless you Americans!" * Holton drew her fingers to his lips and Kissed them. As he bent thus a figure darkened the doorway and a sneering voice broke the silence. "A very charming picture, mdeed!" Holton swung' around quickly, and before him, his face writhing with a saturnine grin, stood Cesnola. Hplton's hand flew to his revolver, but the t face and a significant flash of steel on a line with the man's waist gave hint passe. (TO ma coimimvui Titles snd TKIee. "Has he a title?"
