PRESENT SUPPLY WILL BE EXHAUSTED BY NEXT CROP. Michigan Stands Second in Production and Government Appeals for an Increased Crop thhi Year. Washington.—Michigan will be called upon to produce from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 more bushels of potatoes in 1914 than the yield of this Important food article during the last year. The United States department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the Importation of potatoes from all ports, so during the next few months the new tariff bill cannot affect prices. This country imported about 17,- 000,000 bushels of potatoes during the past 12 months and with the close of the season, before the new crop comes into the market, the supply in this country will be practically exhausted, according to the figures of the government experts. So the crop and marketing officials in Washington are appealing to the potato states to come to the aid of the consuming public and plant a- big crop. As the second potato state in the union, a special appeal is being made to the state of Michigan in this matter. GOV. ANNOUNCES DELEGATES Ferris Names Michigan Men te Attend Conferences in Chicago.

TO RESIST BEAN BLIGHT M. A. C. Profeesor, Has Produced a Plant thst Thrives in Spite of Attacks ef Plsease. East Lansing, Mich.—Hope for the ultimate cure of the bean blight, which is costing Michigan farmers something like $2,000,000 annually, has been awakened by a new plant which has been developed by Prof. Spragg, blant breeder at M. A. C. This bean plant has shown ability to thrive despite the blight. Prof. Spragg has been attempting for a number of years to discover a plant capable or resisting the blight. Two years ago he found one which seemed to have that quality. This plant a year ago produced a yield averaging 35 bushels to the acre. So far the plant breeding department has not harvested enough seed for distribution, but within another year or two it is expected that farmers will be given an opportunity to try out the disease-resistant variety. The M. A. C. bean is not immune to the blight, but It has proved ability to yield well despite the attacks of the disease. Seven Killed In Philadelphia.

SUNDAY IN ULSTER rSjtCj^Sj^^KS5WttS]<S/.Sj<a MARKET QUOTATIONS i DREADED DAY BRINQ8 NO DISORDER IN REBELLIOUS PROVINCE. PR08PECT FOR TLEMENT PEACEFUL BRIGHTER. 8ETKing George Makes Personal Appeal to Officers of Army and Cancels 8ocial Engagements. London—The dreaded Sunday passed without the slightest disturbance of order In Belfast or in Ulster, where the home rule policy has brought a condition of impending civil war. But the gravity of the crisis is fully Indicated by the fact the king cancelled his intended week-end visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Liverpool. The king and queen also cancelled their proposed visits to the races on Thursday and to the grand national raoe on Friday. The king has thrown his Influence earnestly on the side of conciliation, and seems to have made a personal appeal to the- officers who had resolved to resign rather than face the possibility of being called on to fight in Ulster, and it may be taken for granted the king is equally exerting his influence with his ministers in the same conciliatory direction. Proofs are not wanting of the desire on both sides that everything possible should be done to avoid any chance of conflicts. The nationalists have abandoned their proposed parade at Londonderry, and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unionist leader, continues to voice his desire to do his utmost to avoid provocative acts. The government announces that all Intended movements of troops in Ireland have now been completed, but this may be a decision necessitated by the threatened resignations of the officers.

Lieutenant Holtoiv 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 the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lad*-. She thanks him for his serves 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. 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 meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she la 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 receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At aea 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 Oarcla's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the. American troops and to learn t M plea* of the Spanish navy. He de- * H l » t«»sted Cuban leader ta the work ^ | € tenanting trouble among the Cubans 111 the iMorests of the Spaniards. Holton i s Sstnei by friends of the spy and later Is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. CHAPTER IX—Continued. Holton's present Idea was to wait for the army to move, purposing to follow their advance, and under cover of the battle to enter Santiago. But as day after day passed it seemed to him as though the order to advance would be given. He went up to the Cuban camp several times, and on one of these occasions had a long conference with Garcia, to whom still maintaining his role as an English newspaper correspondent, he related the details of his mis- Adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's face clouded as Holton proceeded, and at the conclusion of his narrative he regarded the young officer sadly. "I do not doubt what you say, Mr. .Ogilve," he sighed gloomily, "but It is a hard blow. Jose Cesnola Is—was— one of our most trusted leaders. Now that I know, I can attribute many misfortunes to him, for ha was very much in our confidence. Very well! Friends, have deserted us, have traitorous before this—I shall In mind." Ml *nye in all elapsed before any Indication that the army was to move came to the surface. On the sixth day, June 30, however, orderly and aides began galloping down the roadway and the word came that the advance was to begin at four o'clock that afternoon. Holton wondered if the entire army was to move at once or whether each command was to take up the march at an appointed hour. At four promptly his question was answered when the entire force brok\ camp and crowded into the narrow jungle trail at practically the same minute. Holton followed along the trail with an infantry regiment The army was now marching into the wooded valley which bordered the high grass leading to and up San Juan hill, with the •mailer rise, Kettle Hill, on one side. As the day waned the men- who knew that on the morrow would come the supreme test, settled down for the night with grim facet. Midnight passed. Men stirred restlessly in their blankets. And in the rifle-pits that ribbed San Joan darkfaced men in blue drill uniforms called on the Virgin—and waited. Morning broke, eilent and fog laden. An orderly galloped up to General 8umner,%head*of the cavalry division, and presenting General Shatter's compliments, told him to move his division to the edge of the woods. "What shall 1 do when I get there r asked Sumner. "Await farther orders," was the rsply. , Holton strolled us to El Paso and found' the regulars and the Rough Riders resting on their arms. Grimes' men were training their guns on San Juan, and impatiently awaiting the word to open. flrsT It seemed ages to Holton before the order came, but come ft did at last The men of the,battcries sprang tensely into position, and a* a sharp order broke" the silence, a lean-faced^ man jerked mis arm sidewise. A line of thick, rod name leaped out of the long, thin musale, a bellying cloud o{ y*l» lowtshiwhite smofcs rolled aad tunv e r ~ W belche* forttTrls projectile, and soon all the guns were thundering with well-ordered precision. The men were all crouched now, waiting for orders. Over their heads the terrible hum of the Mauser balls was incessant Showers of leaves and branches fell among them. Every few seconds, it seemed, someone would tumble to the ground and lie motionless or else writhe in silent pain. Captain Mills was close by Holton's side when a ball struck that officer in the side of the head, back of the eyes, and passed clean through. Holton could even hear the sound the bullet made as It struck the skull, a dull impact, a thud like the clack ef two sticks. V, Holton bent over him and then left him for dead. Crouching close to the ground he made his way along the lines, determined to find a place where he could see something. He had viewed as much of this visitation of sightless death in these dense woods as, he could stand. Half-crawling, he suddenly came upon the Rough Riders in a fever of rage. Sumner had been ordered by Shafter to await orders here at the edge of the woods, but where were the orders? How long were they to be delayed 7 An hour from now there would be no Americans to receive orders. To Holton it appeared as though the army had been deserted, left to its fate when suddenly word came from Lieutenant Miley, representing General Shafter, who was 111, for Sumner's division to move at once on Kettle Hill, lying to the east of San Juan and somewhat nearer the trails from which the soldiers were to enter upon/ their attack. - Instantly from out of that fringe of woods and into the open, roofed with a torrent of lead, sprang the negro regulars and the Rough Riders, bawling their famous "yip yip" at the top of their lungs, while from a clump of trees near the San Juan ford Parker's little battery of gatling guns rattled incessantly. To the left, out of the woods, flowed regiment after regiment of white regulars, with that gallant soldier, Gen. Hamilton Hawkins, at their head, making for the blockhouse on San Juan hilL Holton, drawn irresistibly by the spirit of the conflict had seized a carbine from a dead soldier, and in his excitement he cut across from the. did, joined a heavy force of Spaniards lying there and turned their fire upon the hill they had so recently left. Thus a hall of lead flew upon and over the heights which the soldiers had taken, compelling the regulars, Rough Riders, and the white and negro cavalrymen, who had rushed over from Kettle Hill, to flatten themselves in the pits which had been prepared by the enemy. To Holton, as he lay huddled in a trench with a Rough Rider on one side of him and a dead Spaniard on the other, it seemed as though the immolation of the entire army must follow an attempt upon the entrenchments before the objective point of the campaign was attained, and yet such an attack was what he bad counted upon, as it would have enabled him, had he escaped the leaden storm, to make his way into Santiago. Cervera had threatened, in event of the success of the American land campaign, to turn his guns upon the city, and as long as his vessels were in their present position, they constituted a menace to the army that certainly presented prospects of the latter's ultimate success in rather a doubtful light And until the forts guarding the harbor were invested from the land side, a naval attack would prove too hasardous to undertake. Over toward El Caney the thunder of cannon and the racketing of small arms showed that Lawton and Chaffee were not having the easy time in taking the place that had been expected. Indeed Holton could see that it must be determined whether San Juan itself was to be held. All the men were now In the pits on the hill, discharging their weapons from cover, and keeping as close to mother earth as they could nestle. The situation, as it appeared to the navy man, was a curious one. The men had taken the hill, but what were they going to do with it? They could not go back and they could not go forward. Their position was surely an anomalous one. A fine lot of siege artillery, as Holton saw It, would solve the situation, and, indeed, as he thought this, a battery, red guidons flying and men cheering, came rolling and swaying up the hill. Quickly unlimbering, the men aimed hastily, and Bent a volley of projectiles Then came darkness. ^ For an hour Holton lay, wondering, doubting. How soon would it be before the army would move farther on toward Santiago? That it would be considerably delayed, Holton had reason to fear. He arose from his place of retreat with sudden resolution. Slowly he turned until he faced the lights of Santiago, and then with a half wave of his hand toward the brave men who had been his comrades, he stepped along the hilltop. Half-way down the hill he turned and made another gesture toward the American lines. It was a sort of farewell, a dramatic little act born of his state of mind. Being Interpreted, it might have read: "I, who am about to die, salute you." foot of Kettle Hill and found himself first on the edge of the small lake lying between Kettle Hill and San Juan bill, and then, as though the transition had been affected by magic, he was among Hawkins' infantrymen on the slope of San Juan—lying down and firing, then going forward in a crouching rush, just as he saw the men around him doing. Once, lying down, he looked behind and on either side and marveled that the long, thin blue line of charging men was not wiped out utterly. There seemed so few of them Here and there he saw advancing groups, and then again one man, yelling and firing all by himself. The bullets poured upon them pitilessly. Men were falling on all sides. As he veered along the slops of the hill a young regular officer passed him unconcernedly snapping pictures of the charge and yelling for his men to come on. He smiled at Holton, and Holton smiled back. Then with a yell the onrushing soldiers came to their first rifle-pit A few'dead 8panish soldiers lay in it but otherwise it was unoccupied. Into the long trench poured the men, firing a few volleys at the trenches above and then leaping out and piling on up the hill. Half-way up Holton saw a man with the shoulder-straps of a colonel, a nae*pp*armg fellow* with side whiskers. Hehad tamed to speak to Shelter's aids, Lieutenant Miley, who had just come up with the men of the Third cavalry. "How are you, colonel r smiled Miley. "How—H Cotonel Hamilton said no mora, for a bullet entered his open mouth and bads him kold his peace for evermore. And now the men began pouring up to the top of the hill, lying behind the crest and discharging bullets at the Spaniards who wort flsetng down the other side, staking helter^keher for their eniTSniliiiissei towsr* Santiago, sad not all He Cut Across From the Foot of Kettle Hlft flying into Santiago. But the huge yeHow clouds had no sooner arisen and the reports had not died away, than it seemed as if the fire of the entire Spanish force was concentrated on that row of guns on the hilltop. Shells screamed, bullets whined, artillerymen fell one after the other. Thus many minutes did not elapse before the gunners wont rattling away doVn the hill much faster than they had come up. The effect of this oa the minds of the men, hanging on the hW as though by their tooth, was not at all reassuring. Late in the afternoon Lawton and Chaffee stormed through from 10 Caney, where they sad their men had fought a magnificent battle, and printing reinforcements of four odd thousand, materially Increased the hopefulness Of the situation. At tno same time Gen. Jos Wheeler and bis staff came out to the trenches with determination not to yield aa lash of tks posftfto* pasted. Twttight fell aad alienee settled over the hilL CHAPTER X. Getting Into Santiago. The night was black, the Bkles had clouded over, and it was raining. Halfway down the slope of the hill Holton stumbled over something. He stopped and looked down and saw a group of four regulars contorted in death. _ Holton bowed his head in silent salute and passed on. The glory of war, he felt, must come after the war ia over. He had felt none of it all through the battle. The least offensive word be could apply to this day's business was that it had been sordid—a glut of blood. The wound in his head was hurting, and for the first time thoughts of blood poisoning assailed him. He had not had it dressed in two days. Still it was slight, and it might as well be poisoning as something else. For he had abandoned any hope of escaping his present venture with his life. All he asked, all he prayed was that he might be spared until he had accomplished something. Over his arm he carried a uniform and hat which he had taken from a dead Spanish soldier, and now sitting on the ground he divested himself of his clothing and put on that of the Spaniard. The fit was fairly good, and Holton decided that with his unkempt black hair, his beard which had not seen a rasor for several days, and his sunbrowned face he might very readily pass for a Spanish regular, at night at least Retaining his carbine and his web bullet-belt, he proceeded on his way, finally turning at right angles and making straight toward the hill* that flanked the city on the left He was now" at the first line ef entrenchments. They were well made and filled with men, most of them, apparently, sleeping. He saw some soldiers at work with spades, and walking up to one man who did not appew to be manifesting any great enthusiasm in his task, Holton seised the spade and throwing it over his shoulder, handed the man his carbine in ex change. He had decided it was time to rid himself of his gun. He did not expect to miss it as he still had his revolver and was very expert In its use. A number of soldiers armed wltl spade and pick-axes were moving about and for the first time Holtot began to see a clear way of gettlm Into the city. In fact, he joined « gang returning In that direction am walked along with them, imitating a* closely as possible their slouch!nt gait and their manner of carrying thelj implements. One of them finally addressed hint "Well, brother," he said, "the Amer leans will receive tomorrow as much as they expect" "They have fought well," muttered Holton, assuming a sort of husklnesf to hide any defects In accent "Like devils," wss the reply. "Yes, like devils," added another. "Where are you going V Holton asked. "To the barracks," said some one. "And I," rejoined Holton with a trace of pride, "am going into the city to present a letter from my colonel to 8enor La Tossa, who has, I have heard, s very handsome estate, near Cuabitas." "Ah, La Tossa!" said his companion. "Yes, do yoa know where he lives?" "Over that way," replied the man with s sweep of bis arm to the left "You must take the Santa Ines road, going northeast Inquire than of others you msy meet" "Well I shall first go to the city tor a drop of aguardiente, and then—" Holton shrugged, "pleasure first and duty afterward," The soldiers turned off into the out* skirts of the town. The rain was pattering dismally. It beat into Holton's face and ran in rivulets down the road. The lights ahead showed with a watery blur; it was in all s night that man or beast might wish himself indoors. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Detit Worry.

"BOUND FOR WESTERN CANADA" A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN, THAT STARTED -FROM NEBRASKA. Four horses abreast attached to a red painted prairie schooner, with windows and a protruding stovepipe, with the words, "Bound for Canada," on the schooner's side, was the object of considerable interest as It passed on the way northward from Nebraska a short time ago through the towns in Nebraska, South and North Dakota. After some weeks of strenuous traveling in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made the overland trip from Jameson, Nebraska, and with his little family made the regular customs entry at North Portal, in the province of Saskatchewan. Their destination was Willow Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen had selected as one in which it was possible for him to work out his fortune. He located on a good half sec* tlon of land, and intended putting on it some cattle that would fatten on the wild prairie grass that grows so luxuriously in that district. In addition to this his purpose was to cultivate a portion of it and raise wheat, oats, barley or flax. In short a life devoted to mixed farming was what he had in view and it is easy to understand that he will make a success of it and in a year or so will attach some more land holdings. Although his beginning may be small, it may safely be said that Mr. Jensen, like thousands of others who have begun life in western Canada on no more and with probably much less, will prosper. He will not be far from a line of railway. Schools will be close at hand and other social conditions so necessary in a new country are avail* able.—Advertisement. Mesothorium and Radium. Mesothorium differs from radium only in price and in a more rapid loss of power. Whereas it has been calculated that it would need 1,800 years before the energy of a gramme of radium is reduced by one-half, mesothorium retains its full energy only for the first few years. After this the force is gradually dissipated, until after 20 years only about onehalf of its original energy remains. Its great advantage over radium is Its comparative cheapness, although even for mesothorium the enormous sum of $50,000 per gramme is being asked.

"One of the most annoying and troublesome things to be met each winter in farm life, is the question of frozen water pipes," writes a contributor to the Country Gentleman. "Each winter for several years I was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the temperature dropped to the freezing point* or lower. After much experimenting [ finally hit upon the easiest, most inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. Melt equal quantities of vaseline and parafin wax together and, after wiping th« pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An oil lump or torch will easily k-ep it in a. liquid ctatc. Yon will find that no matter how cold the weather may net the frost cafinot penetrate this coat of grease.

W t i i « i n .\« wnyapwr Lniua.j '»»«»»»»»•» AMERICAN BANKER HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN Berlin, Germany.—"Some of us rubes are laughing a little at the bankers*' said a successful farmer to ua before we left the states. "We have actually farmed successfully for y0ars, have' studied farming in agricultural colleges. We think we know our business fairly well. It's certainly funny to read speeches by bankers telling us how to farm. I have come to the conclusion that the bankers know BO little about farm loans that they would do better to study and discuss their own business than to try to teach v us ours." And we have concluded that there is some force In what the farmer says. .The American Bankers' association and thirty state bank associations are actively promoting agricultural advancement The work undertaken by them includes soil surveys, experiments with fertilizers, hiring experts to make practical demonstration upon the farm, education in road matten, and so on indefinitely. The bankera are duplicating what the federal agricultural department Is doing, what every agricultural college is doing, and what every farmer's institute la doing. They are going into the field of production which is important but which after all is one In which the farmer remarked, "one is led to think that the bankers of the country have unanimously concluded that thay know their own business so thoroughly that their elevating educational instincts can get opportunity for expression only by doing missionary work among us lowly farmers and elevating this ignorant class to their own high plane of intelligence." Worst Banking for Wtrmen. We have been going through Europe accompanied by agricultural experts. We have talked with leaders in agriculture in several countries. We have read bulletins and books, galore on agricultural methods abroad. We consulted government specialists. We have seen and heard and studied about all the most scientific up-todate farming methods. But neither the experts with us nor we ourselves have been able to recall a single idea on agricultural production that is not being more or less widely worked out in America by these lowly farmers whom the bankers are so benevolently and condescendingly instructing. On the other hand so far as we can discover the United States is the only country in the civilised world where banking methods have not been in any degree adjusted to the needs of tike farmer. Sometimes over here in Europe the joint stock bank does the work. More often it Is a co-operative, credit bank that loans to farmers. But some bank stands ready to meet the. ^farmers' needs everywhere, except in* the United States. In America, as nowhere else, the banker takes the terms calculated to accommodate the city merchant and financiers and inflicts them upon the protesting farmer. Sixty and ninety day loans are Just what are needed in the •city, but they are of no possible use to the farmer. A merchant or commission mas gets his returns promptly and can'meet ninety day paper at maturity. But the fanner cannot buy calves or pigs and fatten them, mar ket them, and get returns short of a much longer period. The rural borrower who invests the borrowed -money in seeds or fertilisers cannot *nope to realise upon his investment short Of six or eight months. It Is and be his financial hacker. -not to much a question of Interest n* ot terms and methods. In many loealitWe intereU rates are fair. In swine places Interest on farm loans Is too high. But It is true everywhere la America that the hankers stubbornly refuse to the farmer the sort of loans which he needs.' And the hanker who sits behind the cashier's <fosk writing speeches about better turning d**ps his facile pea long • enough to crowd down the throat of some farmer patron who should have %n sight months loan, a three months San, which Is as apt to cripple as aj help him. ' Bow the man on the farm can borrow money advantageously and sco- BOtnically is an important question. It may not be so important as good aasxtwrting^but it is important enough. Ws-'lsan^^houhi be on terms which his occupation and his financial If he cannot got those tpsvjs from his banker he will htm to Beek loans elsewhere, or will he meet the needs of the farmer. There is little doubt that the banker could give' longer time on safe personal paper. There Is little doubt that he could arrange for long time real estate mortgages. When a farmer borrows to buy a farm and gives a mortgage for the loan there is no reason why It should not be a long time amortization mortgage permitting repayment In annual or semi-annual payments extending over ten, twelve or twenty years. Gilt Edge Security. A good first mortgage on real estate running for a considerable period of time is recognized the world over as a gilt edged loan. Financiers are accustomed to advise it as the safest investment for trustees, widows and others who are not able to pass upon the character of miscellaneous investments. The president of one of the great life insurance companies makes the statement that his company in its history of forty-six years has loaned $lS3,8ft8,&49.44 to TS.10J farmers, secured by mortgage on 11,462,86$ acres, the average loan being $1,782. The net lose after paying all costs, fees, assessments and penalty interest rates was fourteen-hundredth* of one per oent This is substantially the history of all properly organised farm land mortgage business. Some $600,- 000,000 in farm mortgages are carried by our life insurance companies—an amount equal to 35 per cent, of the total farm mortgages shown by the census. If a farm loan for three years is a good loan, one for ten or fifteen or twenty years is good, too, but no American bank makes these long loans. Why? We have never been able to get any adequate answer to this question. The general response is an unsatisfactory one, "It isn't good banking to make such long farm loans," which Is another way of saying what we have said before, that the city banker will not meet the needs of the farmer borrower. There seems to be therefore no reaeon why this fact that a long time farm loan is a gilt edged loan should not be taken into account in fixing the Interest. It is not possible that the Interest on these loans should be near (he rate which Is received upon bonds, either municipal or Industrial. The city banker will investigate fully the integrity and earning capacity of every factory that wants a loan. Is there any reason why the American banker should not put himself in a position to investigate the honesty and earning capacity of the farmer who needs money, thus permitting him to capitalise his character as do bankers abroad? On the whole after looking over the situation at home and abroad it is not surprising that the farmer sometimes suggests that bankers might well study their own activities rather than to be butting in upon the farmer's business. Over here in Germany the bankers were formerly as slow as those of America are now to meet this demand for rural credit So cooperative credit came and It came to stay. It does the work and it does it well. The question that is upJn America is simply a question as to whether or not the American banker is going to insist that the American farmer solve his own difficulties or whether be, the banker is going to solve' It for him Morloaoe Leone in Germany, A co-operative loan on long mortgages is no new experiment One hundred and forty years ago the were organised in Prus- A war Uke period culminating in the Seven Tears' War had reduced the greater part of Prussia to a pitiable state of doyastaUon, The owners of large estates, which had borne the brunt of the war charges were poverty stricken. Hence in 17W Frederick II issued a royal decree en-, abilng these owners of large landed estates to secure capital necessary to revive their agricultural interests by joining together in securing a co-operative loan. While at met these loans were granted to only the owners of the largo estate this system was afterwards adapted so that the, smaller land owner could profit by I t The owner who wishes to secure a loan gives a mortgage to the association. He fr,r«no£*dr to pay interest at the rttVfiny try to get them elsewhere. tats of from three sad a half Tfeo fueetion is will the banker fosse | to four par sent and nay borrow op to two-thirds of the value of his farm. This valuation Is arrived at by capitalizing the income which he can get off from it. It is characteristic of European finance that the farm values are fixed largely by consideration of the actual earning capacity of each farm. Apparently the price which a neighboring farm may bring has little to do with the value which is placed upon any particular farm. The theory is and It seems to be sound, that the value of the farm is not so much where it lies as it is what will it earn. When the association has a group of those mortgages It pledges them by a trust deed, and issues a series of bonds secured by the pledge ot the mortgages. These bonds are then sold and usually bear an interest of from three to three and one-half per cent. The association not only pledges the association Itself so that in a sense every member of the association is back of the bonds. These bonds have alwayB brought a good price even in the most difficult times financially. The mortgage given by the land owner is not due at the end of a certain number of years, at which time the entire principal must be paid as are American farm mortgages. Instead they run for from twenty to sixty years with an agreement incorporated into the mortgage that each year the farmer shall pay a certain sum of money which shall Include interest and a small installment upon the principal. In this way the mortgagor gradually pays off his mortgage paying little more than the amount which would, in America be required as Interest alone. The chief advantage to the farmer is in this fact that he is allowed to pay off the loan by making small annual or semi-annual payments. Other, advantages are that he will never have to renew the mortgage which will continue to run until the payments have cleared the farm of the debt; he will never be compelled to pay any renewal commission, and will never have to go to the expense of bringing down his title or having it examined every two years, as is done under our American system. Retffeoon and 8ohuJz*-DeJltzsch. The Reiffeson and Schulze-Delitzsch banks are smaller community institutions, organized upon the co-operative 'plan, and are not operated for profit to the investor. Reiffeson banks operate more particularly in the country while the Schulze-Delitzsch banks operate largely in urban communities. The Reiffeson Is the most purely cooperative. While the Reiffeson banks loan money for a long period of time they do not generally loan for so long a period of time as do the Landschaften. They receive deposits from their members, paying them interest as do savings banks. The one at Cassel, Germany, which can be taken as a fair representative of Its type charges 6½ per cent, on short time loans. They pay 4% per cent, on deposits, which are left with them for an agreed long period of time, and 4 per cent, on deposits left for a shorter time. It is found, however, that the rate of interest varies in different places. Since these banks must meet the competition of the joint stock and savings banks In each community. They generally are able to compete successfully for the reason their expenses are very light their officers usually serving without salary and since they do not wish to make any large profits to pay off any investors as do the other banks. Go 8fow. The best rural credit system in the world, if actually in operation would not prove a cure-all for our present rural ailments. It would not get you anywhere. The farmer who has negotiated a loan upon the most favorable terms has made no actual advance. He. is just whereflne was before. If I am running a le/ing business the more money I borrow the worse off I am. If I am not producing a good product which I can market readily and profitably, the less I put into my business the better. Rural credit without good farming and good marketing is a delusion and a snare. Bssfly obtained loans are no substitutes for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Rural credit can do just one thing. It can enable a man to get possession of a farm and the equipment with which to farm. If the farming business into which the loan launches him Is not a paying business the loan has simply injured him by getting him into a losing venture. I said a Joan win enable him to get possession of a farm and equipment This possession is temporary and will be of.no permanent advantage unless he makes the land and equipment his own by repaying the loan and of his honest and hard won earning. After all it is rural earnings which spell success and good marketing conditions whether co-operative or otherwise are * n absolute SHORTEST WAY HOME By KATHERINE HQP80N. Women Make Good, .

It's a good chance—better than we can offer you here, perhaps for years." Mr. Denham, managing editor of the Recorder, shook hands with Dick Stewart cordially. The younger man, after thanking him, passed out of the office with a little glow of pride and happiness. "Old Denham's a mighty good sort and he's right I'm a lucky chap to get the place," he mused as 'he left the private office. The outer office, which had been well occupied when Stewart passed for his interview with Mr. Denham, was now practically deserted. The men had gone to fill their assignments—except Fred Davis. He was clicking away at his typewriter. "Good luck to you," he said, looking up with his keen, peculiar smile. Stewart left the office to fill his last assignment before taking his new position. He was sebt to cover the suburban territory of Rockbridge, and departed with more than usual alacrity. Margaret Wheaton's path lay in the same direction today. When she came six months ago to fill the position of society reporter for the office, he had fallen in love with her big brown eyes, her kindliness, her spontaneous gayety, and the general deamess of her. But he recognized the fact that Fred Davis also had fallen victim to her charms. "No wonder he congratulated me so heartily on my new job; for it leaves the way clear for him," SUwart thought with a cynicism foreign to him. "Well, at last I have a man-slse job, and I am justified in speaking to Margaret." He quickened his steps toward the interurban station, and was so occupied that he failed to notice a tall, slender, keen-eyed man dodge into the waiting room, anti then watch to see which car he—Stewart—entered before getting on himself and entering the smoker. Nor did he see him repeat the same watchful performance before they both alighted at Rockbridge. Stewart hastily covered his own territory, then hastened to the church where the Patton-Whltney wedding had just taken place, the reporting of which was Margaret's object In coming to Rockbridge. She had come down on an earlier car, and Stewart had timed himself so that he might arrive on the scene when she was finished with her work. Then he could return to town with her. He found reporters from other papers there and stood a few moments in the fragrant flower decorated church In which strains of the wedding music seemed still to linger. Margaret was not there and he made inquiries. Some one told him she had just gone; but whether to the station or to the Whitney home where the reception was to be, he couldn't say., Stewart looked at his watch. "There won't be another car for three-quarters of an hour yet I guess she's gone to the house." Accordingly he made his way to the place in question. It was one of the largest, most pretentious homes in the suburb. Many persons in wedding attire were streaming to the reception when he reached the house, and he made his way through the guests and onlookers with which the walk was lined. From one of the caretakers he learned that Margaret had been there. By announcing himself as a representative of the Recorder he gained entrance. Everybody . except the girl he was looking for seemed to be there, and the most careful search failed to reveal her. "Say, how many people does your paper send out to write up these so> cial affairs?4 asked one of the guests whom he .knew. "One—usually. Whyr "Well, you're the third this afternoon who has presented himself in that capacity. I believe the first one was a her/' laughed the man. "Miss Wheaton, of course, our ragular society reporter. But I don't know any other from our office who would bo hero." "Oh, ha was a tall, slim chap, with shifty dark eyes." "The description fits Davis, but he was* sitting in the office when X left" Stewart rapidly retraced his steps to the station, and found to his chagrin that la his search he had not allowed himself enough margin to catch the next car, and missed it by about three minutes. He oould see It disappearing in the distance. "Yes, Miss Wheaton got on the drawled the station agent s* to the question. "Was any one with h e r n T e s , that tall chap who lbs sporting news." dow. eluded grimly* "Bat how It the world did he get here?" Then sober reason told him that the only way was on the same car as himself. Cut across back way and got on the smoker." He sat down and wrote out in full the notes of the legal transfers he was sent to cover. "I can slap them off on the typewriter when I get back," he told himself. His sense of resentment was growing. He had-received the letters from New York that morning giving final acceptance of his application for a position, had strongly advised him to take morning train. "They don't leave you much to pack your trunk and make farewell calls on these New York jobs. There are too many others waiting around to snap up the place," the managing editor had said. Stewart had decided to take his advice^ till planning how he might have a chance to talk with Margaret She knew he had applied for the position, but as she was away all morning on an assignment, she didn't know of his acceptance. "Every minute is precious, "for I have a thousand things to do," fumed the young fellow, as he paced restlessly up and down the platform. "It was a low trick of Davis to beat me to it here, when he knew I was going away so soon." At last the next car came and bore him back to town. When he reached the office it was just as he expected. Margaret had gone home to dinner.' He called up her boarding place. She was there, but when he asked to come down that evening she replied that she was going to report another wedding which was going to occur in that vicinity that evening. "But you may come and go with me if you like. It won't take me long." When he told her of departure next day, her invitation: more insistent With good-by handshake* to members of the staff, Stewart left the office. On the way to hiB room he stopped and got lunch at a restaurant, then he went off home and began hastily to pack his trunk. As he-worked he glanced around the bare little room where he. had passed many lonely, homesick, discouraging moments. "I've hated the place, but it seems quite like home when I go to leave it" He thought of his old, pleasant home In the little town of Carbon which he had left to take hjs first newspaper position here, and his sense of homesickness increased. "It will all be to do over again when I reach New York, only it will be much harder to gain a foothold there." He found Margaret waiting for him when he reached her boarding place. She had on her wraps, and her brown eyes were shining under the smart little toque. On the way he told her more about his new position, and his hopes and plans for making good. She was all kindness and attention, yet, withal, he had the sensation that she was trying to steer the conversation away from personalities. It seemed to tftm that she dragged out the work ily long at the house; and were at last free to go, he took ters into his own hands, and Insisted that the longest way round was the shortest way home. "Has Davis asked you to marry himT he asked. At first she looked offended, then she said archly, "What if he has?" "I want to know if you accepted him." v "I probably shouldn't be walking here with you If I had," she laughed. "What difference does it make?" "Merely, that I'm going to ask yon the same thing." And. he poured out the love and longing of the last months. "Instead of the waste of boarding houses It would mean home—and that's as near heaven as we ever ant on this earth, I reckon," he ended hum* kily. For a few moments there was silence, add they walked on-beneath the trees which rustled their dry leaves in the soft autumn night He, In alternate hope and despair; she, with her eyes turned away, gased up at the hasy harvest moon. But by the light of it, when her glance met his, he could see they were full of "X, too, am tired of reflected joy," she answered slowly, nodding toward her reporter's note-book ho was. ear* rylng. "Instead, of writing up other people's engagements and weddings— I—I want one of my own." <Ooprrtsht 1*14. bsyy nthdeic aMtee.)O lurs •tops Rattling Windows.

Yawning is said to have an exceedingly healthful function besides having s salutory effect in complaints of the pharnyx and the eustachian tubes. According to investigations yawning is the most natural form of respiratory muscles of the neck and chest It is recommended that every person should have a good yawn with the stretching of the limbs morning and evening for the purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonlfying the respiratory muscles. An eminent authority asserts that this form of gymnastics has a remarkable effect in relieving throat and ear troubles, and says that patients suffering from disorders of the throat lave esylved great benefit from it. j|$jLiail he makes his patients yawn, ay smafestion or imitation, or by a series of deep breaths with the lips partly closed. The yawning is repeated six or seven times, and should be followed by swallowing. By this process the air and mucus in the eustachian tubes are aspirated. PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS 411 Howard S t , Dayton, Ohio.— "About a year ago my face, neck, arms and back were beginning to become afflicted with pimples and blackheads. My pimples would get very large and appear to come to a head. If I tried to open them the pain would be terrible, but nothing could be taken from them. They Itched very badly; I suffered terribly from Itching. After scratching, the pimples would swell and after the swelling was gone my face would become very red and remain so for some time.

The Noisy Noyes Again. Exra Pound, the Philadelphia poet whose work has thrilled London, said the other day of Alfred Noyes, his British rival: "Noyes declares that my torch of diluted Browninglsm, after a feeble splutter, has gone out. Now, in revenge, let me tell you a story about Noyes and Swinburne. "Some time after Rossettl's death Noyes wrote a long memorial poem. He was so proud of this poem that he waylaid Swinburne one morning on Putney common and insisted on reading it to him. "Swinburne tired to escape, but Noyes bawled the whole 30 stanzas into his poor deaf ear. Then, at the end, he said, with a complacent smile: " There, sir, is my poem on Rossettl. What do you think of it?' " 'It would be better/ Swinburne answered, i f foii had died and Rossettt had written the poem.'" Like and Like. William Dean Howells said the other day of a certain type of "best seller" hovel: "The men who write these books are intellectually debased, and the public they~wrlte for is intellectually debased also. The thing reminds me of an anecdote. "'What are you doing, dear?' a mother said to her little four-year-old daughter. " tm writing a letter to Alice/ the youngster replied. "'But, dear/ said the mother, 'you don't know how to write/ "The Httle girl, however, as she calmly continued her pencil scrawl, answered: "'Well, mother, Alice doesn't know how to read/ " Roman Stitch. Roman stitch is used only in conventional work and is used for covering leaves or the petals of a flower with a mid-rib.

Each stitch is fastened before the next one is taken and the tiny cross stitches in the center, form the vein of the leaf.—Christian Science Monitor. Exactly.

In Imitation of a Pond Lily le an ExeeUent Method of Serving—With Veal and Peas—Recipe for Proper Dressing. Pond Lily Salad—Six hard-boiled eggs, cool, remove shell with a sharp knife (pointed), cut around see-saw fashion in middle of eggs, then break egg apart gently; with a fork «crape the yellow part to make it mealy or soft and out a slice off end of egg to make it stand pat; spread on lettuce leaves (small ones for cups) and drop a little mayonnaise into lettuce. Then peel six or eight radishes in points, turn back half-way and you have very pretty pond lily buds, and if you have followed out cutting directions the eggs make a good imitation of pond lilies, a delight to the eye, and an egg reilah to the stomach. If serve on a looking glass platter mounted on four brass or silver pegs the salad reflects In the glass like water. Salmon and Egg Salad—Have ready on plates nice, crisp lettuce and one can of salmon, with hard-boiled egg sliced and arranged on platter, and serve with dressing. Salad of Veal and Peas—One-half pound of eold veal cut in tiny dice and one pint of small green peas (canned may be used); mix with French dressing and chill; when ready to serve, put by spoonfuls into cups of crisp lettuce leaves; pour over It more French dressing, to which has been added a little green mint, mustard and a dash of celery salt. Tailor-Made Salad—To one cup of cooked and strained tomato add one and one-half teaspoons of pink gelatin. Season with salt; cool in individual moldB; set on ice to harden. Mash a ten-cent cream cheese with half a cup of English walnuts blanched by pouring hot water over them and rubbing, off the brown skin, the nuts to be chopped with the celery; roll Into balls the size of a walnut; arrange the molded tomatoes and cheese balls on a glasB dish; with a good cutter grind some pistachio nut meats, sprinkle them over the tomato and cheese, arrange sprigs of parsley around the edge of the dish and sprinkle over this the finely crumbled yolk of an egg to give a goldenrod effect; put on the top of each piece of tomato and on- the cheese balls one* half teaspoon of salad dressing. Salad Dressing—Yolks of three eggB, well beaten, one tablespoon mustard, a bit of pepper, one-half cup of vinegar, one tablespoon butter, small teaspoon of flour; stir all well together, put in a double boiler, set on the gas to thicken; when cool add the whites of three eggs, beaten stiff, and one cup of milk.

Pour in a sheet in a shallow, buttered tin, and bake for three-quarters of an hour in a very slow oven. Take from the oven and when the cake is nearly cool cut it in long, inch-wide strips. fitesk Croquettes. The leftover bits of the tender steak can be put through a meat chopper, and, if the steak Is cooked rare, formed into little balls and browned quickly in bacon fat or butter and served for lunch. If the steak is not rare the chopped bits can be mixed with an equal quantity of rice, a little white sauce and plenty of seasoning and then formed into smaircroquettes, dipped in egg and crumbs and browned.

Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing Hotv // Jj Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW S. DUDGEON. i *W<JJJ> i l y h L. U 1 4 . \ \ rMU-rti N e w s p a p e r Uiuo:i.j CO-OPERATIVE LESSONS LEARNED IN IRELAND * o Dublin, Ireland.—There ia no magic In co-operation. It is not a cure-all for economic ilia. Cooperative concerns succeed because they employ good business methods. In fact cooperative marketing ia good business and good sense and intelligence applied to farm marketing. This is the biggest and most important lesson to be learned in Ireland. As Rev. Father Finley, a great believer in co-* operation, says in an article in the Constructive Quarterly, "That it has been productive of much material good to those who employed its methods with intelligence and energy, is beyond question; that it has been barren of useful results where those qualities were wanting is equally undeniable." Co-operative marketing succeeds in Ireland because it stands for three things: (1) Good business methods and intelligent management; (2) A uniformly high quality of product; (3) justice, equality and loyalty among members. Without these characteristics co-operation -fails in Ire* land and fails everywhere. These are the lessons that Ireland has to teach America. No group which does not insist upon running its co operative concern along these lines can succeed. To tolerate poor business methods, laxity as to quality, or disloyalty and injustice to each other is to fail. These are some things Americans will not be required to experiment upon, because the Irish have already tried them out. Simply Good Business. Irish co-operation makes money for farmer and city consumer alike. It has succeeded in bringing the producer and consumer nearer together. The farm products go directly to the city consumer. The product arrives in good shape. It brings only a reasonable price. The result is that city man and farmer profit by the more economical method of distribution. But co-operative marketing after all is simply good, common *ense and efficient business. There i s \ o t h i n g mysterious about it. As we have said, there is in it no magic. The good co-operative marketing concerns over here succeed because they are well organized, well managed, intelligently governed, carefully supervised; because they are simply efficient business organizations in which 100 or 1,000 men with a common occupation and a common interest get together for a united, harmonious effort In which every man does his full share. Must Be Purely Democratic. Over here it ia always "one man one vote." One lesson that Ireland has for America is that no man and no small group of men can be permitted to control any co-operative organization. The principal of one man one vote must prevail. The man who has invested $1,000 must have no more voting power than the man who has St vested only $5. "Men, not property vote," is another expression vised here. Under this system no man een use the co-operative society for his own selfish ends. The poorest farmers attend the meetings, and If they show ability, go upon committees and become officers. The organization is most essentially democratic. AM Profits to the Producer. The purpose back of co-operative organization differs from that back of a commercial enterprise. It seeks not to make dividends for the man Who invests his moqey, but to provide that the producer shall receive the largest possible percentage of the price paid by the consumer. Ireland has found by experience that where large profits are paid to the investors t£*Vreal purposes of co-operation are net served. One ease is recorded American fruit growers organa so-called co-operative concern the joint stock plan. They inligled into the venture a large number of smaller growers who had little money to invest, but in the aggregate a very considerable amount of fruit to market The ones who Invested largely were In control and proceeded to make large profits for themselves as investors, and Ignored the interests of the fruit growers themselves. As a result the small growers were forced out of business.and out of .the country. . Here in Ireland so wen established p this principle that It is a definite rsie that no co-operative society can p a y mote than 5 per cent per ansnup upon the stock held by the shareholders. Bvery time that any group of Amer- •V • • * » f" i ican farmers have organized a cooperative marketing concern they have met Bharp and often unfair competition. The other established buyers have offered prices which were higher than the co-operative society could offer without taking a loss. Often they succeed in coaxing the members of the co-operative society from its support. It is hard for a farmer who is receiving only 35 cents per bushel for his potatoes at a co-operative warehouse to refuse 45 cents offered by some independent buyer. But the unvarying subsequent history is, of course, that as soon as the co-operative concern is put out of business by this sort of competition prices drop, and the farmer is where he was before, and helpless in the hands of the independent buyers, To obviate this difficulty in Ireland, it has been found necessary to explain the situation fully to the prospective members of the co-operative organization; to state to them that unless they are willing to agree to market all their product through the cooperative society it is useless to begin. They are warned that they will be approached by independent dealers and offered higher prices. But thus warned and informed upon the subject, the organizers of Irish co operative societies have had little difficulty in obtaining from the prospective members an agreement to market all of their produce through the concern. Importance of Quality, As we have said, there is no magic in co-operation. Co-operative marketing simply means that the farm produce is to be marketed in a businesslike way without undue waste during the process. Pioneers in Irish cooperation soon found that after they had discovered the best market and after they had organized the co-operative society, and after the members had agreed to bring all their produce to the company, cooperation was still an absolute failure whenever the members of the society delivered even occasionally, inferior goods and mingled them with the better goods. A creamery puts out 100 pounds of good butter; if the next pound is bad butter the market for the butter of that creamery is rained. Without high uniform quality co-operation cannot succeed. It becomes necessary therefore for the members all tq, co-operate in producing cream that is of the highest possible quality and reaches the creamery in the best condition. But Irish experience demonstrates that no private concern can compete in quality with a cooperative concern, for no private concern can control the product from its original source. "Control" Is Requisite. Quality c<*n be produced by the cooperative society, because these concerns reach out to the farm itself. It is not enough that a creamery has the best and latest methods of making butter and marketing it. If the cream comes in from the farm in bad condition, the butter is bad. To make good butter you must control the cow, and her feed, and her care, and the stables, and the milk pail, and even the milk can used In delivery. Certain rigid rules and conditions are laid down by the creameries themselves, and approved by a central committee. Each creamery participating ia the scheme is required to give free access during the working hours to the officers of the I. A. O. S. that they may inspect the premises and bookB, check the records, examine any butter in stock, and take for analysis samples of cream and butter. Each creamery is bound to maintain the most immaculate cleanliness, accept only milk that is clean, fresh and untainted, pasteurize all milk and cream, churn the cream at a temperature not to exceed 48 degrees F„ and affix the control label to no butter that exceeds the-16 per cent limit of moisture. The enforcement of such rules as this tending to result in high grade products is what is meant by "control." It is another of the big lessons that Ireland has to impart to prospective co-operators. And remember this: No stock company or private creamery ever yet was able to control the quality of butter by controlling every step back to the feed before the cow eats i t Consequently^ no privately owned creamery can make such butter as co-operative butter. Brands Must Be Used. It Is not enough that the inherent quality i s high. The quality must fle evidenced m some way readily recognizable by the public. Consequently a system of brands and labels has been devised for all products. By an educational process covering years the public as well as dealers have been taught that the brand of co-operation stands for quality. Consumers are taught to demand this brand as an evidence of quality. Retailers find that the brand sells the product without advertising. It is therefore the policy of Irish co-operation to have a brand. The affixing of the brand certifies quality and makes the article transferable at a fixed figure, just as the impress which the gold disk receives in the mint makes it a sovereign which passes current from hand to hand. An attorney, whose business has been largely rb investigate American bankrupt concerns makes the statement that he never knew a bad commercial failure where there was not either dishonesty or lack of bookkeeping methods. Bad failures comq only where no one iB fully informed as to the exact condition of the business. The Irish co-operators fully recognize this principle. Certain standard forms of bookkeeping have been worked out and largely adopted; the best methods of keeping the books, and of making summaries and reports for audit, have been also established, so that the exact condition may be brought to the attention of the members of the concern at any time. As a result we find everywhere throughout the co-operative enterprises of Ireland surprisingly efficient methods of accounting. The I. A. O. S. and its supervisory Byster are largely responsible for this situation. One of the greatest difficulties encountered was that of obtaining skilled managers for the various co-operative concerns. But skilled and intelligent they must be in order to insure success. For example, it is necessary that the man at the head of a creamery must not only be a n » 9 9 2 T«kjrr*f«v "0fl6ANi»t OUW-IK. •»Mn i_*au is. ii*uie »Y TM» l A U i ccnTKOl- COfiniTTi* Co-operative Butter Label. good butter maker, but he must be as well a bookkeeper, a business man, and a student of the markets. He must understand something of transportation and of packing for transportation. He must be what we in America would call a good mixer in order to establish the proper point of contact with customers and members as well. Combination of Concerns. It has also been determined by experience that the separate little concerns, some of which are necessarily managed by men of limited opportunity, cannot succeed unless they are federated and supervised and helped by a central organization. They need assistance in organization, in finding the best markets. The I. A. O. S. has not only assisted in organizing the co-operative societies, but receives periodical reports from the, visits and inspects them frequently, audits their "accounts, sees that their affairs are properly conducted, makes suggestions as to markets and other business problems, and gives council and advice generally. Some such supervision must come in America if co-operative success is to be general and lasting. Our Conclusion. Co-operation has undoubtedly succeeded in Ireland. It deserves to sue* ceed because it stands for a uniformly high quality of farm products, for fair dealing, for just returns to those furnishing the product, for justice'to the consumer, as well as producer, for good, clean business methods, for skilled management, for community loyalty and solidarity. Co-operation will succeed in the United States whenever it stands for these things. If it does not, it will fail. The sooner the co-operative enthusiast learnt that co-operation, like every other enterprise, must succeed on its merits, not on some mysterious inherent virtue, the better. Nothing could be more unwise at this time than to preach the doctrine that co-operation in Itself should be introduced anywhere and everywhere. If it is introduced before prospective members are ready to co-operate in a proper spirit fdr its success, it will inevitably fail Making Your Own Glue.

GAY FRILLS IN THE BOUDOIR Painty and Feminine Are the Ruffles Just Now'Being 8o Generously Made Use Of. As ruffles become more and more fashionable on feminine garb they begin to make a reappearance in feminine boudoirs. Ruffled window curtains, bed-spreads and pillow covers are replacing the straight bordered effects of the last few years and milady's sroom promises to become as gayly frilled a sanctum as it was a half century ago. Ruffled pillow cases are especially dainry and feminine and they give the final touch of luxury to the bed. If one does not desire to sleep on the beruffled pillows they may be exchanged at night for smaller pillows in plain linen slips, or the ruffled slips may be removed and put rn again next morning. This takes but a moment if the slip covers are roomy enough to go over the pillow without tugging. Two or three snap buttons sewed along the opening under the ruffles will hold the dainty covers smoothly in place and may be unfastened in a twinkling at night. Rather narrow ruffles give the best effect—two and a half inches should be the limit of width—and the hems should be very narrow also. Make the ruffle full enough to be fluted by the laundress and the effect will be very crisp and smart. Such pillow covers should be square, rather than oblong, and the pillow may be stuffed into the square, the snap buttons holding it in place. Of course the ruffles must go around all four sides of each cover, and the bed thus dressed will need no pillow shams, bolster roll or other device to hide the sleeping pillows from view. TO CLEAN COLORED FABRICS Liquid Resulting From Grated Raw Potatoes Mixed With Water Will Produce Gratifying Results. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp in clear water, and pass the liquid through a coarse sieve into another vessel of water. Let the mixture stand until the fine white particles of the potatoes are precipitated, then pour the water off and preserve for use. This liquid will clean all sorts of si'k, cotton or woolen goods without hurting them or spoiling the color. Two good-sized potatoes are sufficient for a pint of water. The article to be cleaned should be laid upon a linen cloth on a table, and, having provided a clean sponge, dip it into the potato water and apply it to the article to be cleaned until the dirt is entirely separated; then wash in clean water several times. The coarse pulp, wnich does not pass through the sieve, if of great use in cleaning wool draperies, carpets and other coarse goods. Easy Sunday Dinner.. Fresh beef tongue makes an economical and toothsome dinner for Sunday. It costs about half as much as the smoked variety and goes farther. Buy on Friday and soak over night in strong salt water. Cook the next morning in plenty of water, well salted. Add one-half cupful of cooked rice to the water and you will have an excellent broth for luncheon or dinner on Saturday. On Sunday slice the tongue cold and serve with it a Jelly or sauce. One can also cut out enough meat from around^the root of tongue for a few sandwiches or to use In croquettes or hash for Monday's luncheon. Fruit Souffle. Line a dish with fruit cut in small pieces, pour over a souffle mixture made as follows: Melt three tablespoons butter, add one-fourth cup flour and pour gradually one cup scalded milk. Beat the yolks of four eggs till stiff and lemon colored. Add gradually one-fourth cup sugar. Combine mixtures and fold in whites of four eggs beaten until stiff and dry* Indian Matting. Having discovered an excellent way to clean matting, I pass it on to others. B.eat the matting first to remove all dust, then take it out of doors and scrub it well with bran water or with water to which a small quantity of salt has been added. Soap has a tendency to turn matting yellow, and should not be used. After the matting has been put through this process, it should be rinsed with cold water, rubbed as dry as possible with a clean cloth and hung on a line to complete the drying. Box In Bathroom. A shirtwaist box in the bathroom will fill a want that is often felt. Very often the room is too email for both a chair and a hamper for soiled clothes. A shirtwaist or utility bos will answer both purposes and look better; If not needed for soiled clothes it will do for clean towels. Cream Pumpkin Pudding. Prepare pumpkin as for pies. Place pumpkin between two slices of bread, with whipped cream on top. This to am excellent dish. MAKES HARD WORK HARDER A bad back makes a day's work twice a| hard.

When they appear on the face, neck, or hands, they may be removed, but if ou other parts of the body it is best wA to bother them. To remove ihem, take a toothpick, wrap the end with a little cotton, moisten with acetic acid and touch the top of the wart or mole, taking care not to touch the surrounding tissue. In a few days a scab will form over the top of the wart or mole, but coutinue the treatment every night, allowing the scab to fall off of its own accord. In a short time the wart or mole will disappear and will not return. The treatment may came some pain, but they can not be removed with out pain. After the wart or mole is removed, it would be well to use a little cold cream to aid in restoring a condition of the skin.

Abraham Lowenstern, secretary of the Poultry Dealers' Protective association, said of a poultry fraud: "New York buys 300,000 pounds of sand weekly that it pays for at the chicken rate. Unscrupulous chicken raisers, you see, feed balls of sand and gravel to their poultry before it is shipped here. It's no uncommon thing to find a half pound of sand in the craw of a pound pullet. "Defenses? Oh, yes, I've heard a. defense from the chicken raisers— and it's abouj as good as Uncle Cal's. "General Carroll, you know, heard suspicious noises in his chicken house in the night. So he banged on the door and shouted: "•Who's in there?' " 'Hain't nobody in 'ere 'ceptin' us chickens,' Uncle Cal's voice softly an* swered." NOT .A MIRACLE Just Plain Cause and Effect.

Lieutenant Holton lg detached from his Icommand in the navy at the outset of the iSpanish-American war and assigned to 'Important Becret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss I^a Tossa, a Cuban patriot. L«ater he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton 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 meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the *incorJty of the United States. Holton 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 Cubeu soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which tukes 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 Garcla's command In the guise o< a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn J D e s n i t e the fiiiir*PiiHnn* nt thA nrnx the plans of the Spanish, navy. . He de-1 , J i „ P " f " ® „ ™ ? „ ° " „ _ v ! _ P tects 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 Is ordered executed a s a spy. He escapes. CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. The shouts had grown more distant, -and Holton knew that no one else had stumbled upon the trail, or at least that was his belief until heheard behind him the sound of footateps^pattering down the clearing. He paused, curious to see if it were not one of the scouts who had located his hidden alleyway and found his suspicions true. As the big negro dashed to the end of the lane, Holton worked hie way to the opening through which he "had just come and waited, tense for the encounter. The man located the bent branches and with a little grunt started afresh on Holton's trail. It was the last sound he made for some time, for, as he burst through, the American's fist, launched with bone-shattering force, landed just two inches above his chin and down he went, like a stricken animal. Holton, with a prayer of thanksgiving, leaned over the huddled figure and was rejoiced to find that the fellow had a revolver and a belt filled with bullets, in addition to a hunting-knife. All these things Holton appropriated, and then leaving the negro where he lay, pursued his way into the forest. He had marked his direction before starting upon his flight, his intention being to make the hills over Santiago bay, ascertain the location of Cervera's fleet, watch for any signs that might give hint as to the intentions of the Spanish admiral, and then make for a point where be might signal Sampson's flagship. He had no thought of getting clear away until he had made a strong efat last he fell into a heap, dead asleep. When he awoke he was shivering. He realized his weakness but could not understand it, being usually a man of undeviating health, until it occurred to Uira that he had not eaten anything for nearly twenty-four hourB. But he had nothing with him to eat, and he did not dare discharge his pistol at the birds flying all about for fear of calling attention to his position in the jungle. So he arose, tightened Ws belt as he had read Indians used to do when pressed by hunger, and worked his way on, still holding to the left Continuing thus he stumbled suddenly upon a clearing, which apparently a large number of soldiers had left not many hours before. There were remains of a fire and, better still, scattered upon the ground were bits of hardtack, a whole pineapple and an abandoned kettle with some boiled rice remaining in it. He Went Down LHce • Stricken An I ma U tort to perform the mission upon which he had been dispatched. After walking all day with infrequent halts in the torrid heat, making perhaps ten or twelve miles, he came near sunset to a tall grove of palms. One of these he climbed and at length was able to locate his position in a general way. ** It may hate been fever working in his blood, although he felt well, but through his mind ran something, not a voice, more an impulse, which kept raggesting to him to tarn to the left Finally, staggering and stumbling, half asleep, he obeyed the inward injunc ^ tiosv and la this way proceeded antft 1 thsagh both nature sad man had imity of the Spaniards, Holton sat down and ate the most satisfactory meal of his life. Having eaten, he retired a little distance and lay back In the shadows. The sun warmed him, and the stiffness caused by the damp of the night left him. If, as he had feared, Sever had been in his blood, it had gone now and this Inspired him wonderfully. He was about to descend when the flash of something below caught his eye almost beneath his feet. He looked closely and caught the flash again, followed by another flash, then by several. A flash in this jungle meant polished metal of some sort, and metal of any sort here meant only one thing— soldiers. He strained his eyes downward and then caught glimpses of a trail, partially hidden from his view by bushes. On the side of the trail nearest to the eastward the land fell sharply away into a wide valley, the opposite sides of which were bush and tree-covered hills just as on his side. And now as he looked, the situation dawned clear upon him. For he could see men moving, falling back along the trail, and eventually debouching into bushes on either side. Holton's heart beat quickly. He remembered what the Spaniards had said of Americans marching from the direction of Siboney, and he knew that right before his eyes the Spaniards were arranging an ambush for them. But what could he do? Almost any moment a detachment of Spanish soldiers might come upon him. His slightest movement would tend to attract the attention of some of them. What was happening? Suddenly from the distance there came what sounded to Holton like the clatter of steel on steel. He at once recognised it as the sound a scabbard makes when it strikes against a spur. Hastily he looked down at the Spanish position, but not a sign of a soldier could he see. The trail was deserted, the surroundings were as quiet, as peaceful as the heart of a jungle.' It was too quiet, Holton thought. Suddenly the situation dawned clear —his countrymen were walking into a deadly trap! And he was powerless to help them. Then, as though a voice had whispered In his ear, he started up. Was he helpless? Tes, if he was considering himself. If fear of consequences to him personally were to be weighed, he was perfectly helpless. But not otherwise. Providence could not have smiled more benignly upon the Americans than In placing him just where he was—provided he justified the providential processes with the nerve of a hero. He rolled half on his side, loosened his revolver in its holster, and then drew it out No more sounds come from the trail, and yet, somehow, there was the impression of movement down there, a subconscious feeling of the approach of men. Holton, his eyes strained ahead, his ears alert for the slightest sound, started convulsively as a campaign hat appeared for an instant through a lift In the high grasses on the valley stda] of the trail. Then, flattening himself rigidly upon the ground, he.pointed his pistol in the direction of the Spaniards beneath him, and pulled" the trigger. The sharp report of the forty-four tore through the dead stillness with nerve-racking violence. It clattered across the valley in a hundred echoes. And then, as shocked into inanition, there followed a few seconds of pulseless silence. Again Holton's pistol rang out. This time, from the direction of the hidden advancing forces, there came several short, sharp commands. As Holton lay hidden, thankful'that the Spaniards had evidently attributed the shots to some overanxious soldier on their own side, he saw two Cubans steal along the trail and behind them a gigantic young sergeant in the uniform of a Rough Rider. Close behind him were four men. They were picking their way stealthily. There was no question that Holton's shots had the desired effect. Then, as he looked, several long, lancelike lines of flame darted out of the bushes in which the Spaniards lay. The valley resounded with a racketing uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider sergeant stop short with a look of surprise upon his face, saw his jaws set grimly, saw him advance a step, and then heave forward on his face, blocking the trail with his body. The bushes beneath Holton were now darting sheets of flame and the gases from the smokeless powder drifted upward and into his nostrils. From the American side he heard a crashing as the main body rushed up into action or deployed into the grass to the eastward of the trail and then suddenly out of the thicket came the roar of the Krags. Holton thrilled with pride as he noticed that the aim of the Americans was low and that the shooting discipline was excellent. The firing was incessant and Holton, whose activities wtth his revolver had brought a volley or two in his direction, now ceased firing and began to work his way into the valley toward the American position. He had not gone far when the advancing lines swept upon him. "Hello, Bud," cried a tall, swarthyfaced sergeant from a New Mexican ranch, "what're you doin' way 'out here?" Holton smiled and was about to reply when a red light suddenly flashed before his eyes and he clapped his hand to his forehead, for it seemed as though a red-hot brand had suddenly been clamped upon it. Then mercifully came darkness. -And as he lay thus in the tall grass, his eyes closed, blood streaming down his cheeks and coagulating in the hot sun, the Rough Riders met the regulars from across the valley, while four companies revolved around the left end of the hidden enemy and then, as the Spaniards later put it, "they started to catch us with their hands." For a mile and a half these men, who had marched into what approximated a deadly surprise, chased the Spaniards, sent them flying hastily from three successive barricades until finally, in utter route, they abandoned all thought of further interference with the American movement and fell back on the trenches before Santiago. But Holton did not witness this triumph of Ouaslmas. Long after the thin blue line had swept on up the valley he lay as he had fallen, vultures flying over him and terrible land-crabs rattling about, seeking for that food which death alone makes palatable to them. CHAPTER IX. Before San Juan. Ages seemed to have passed when Holton was aroused by a pleasant voice and the sensation that some revivifying fluid had been forced down his throat Some very sympathetic hand was touching his head and a genial voice was addressing him. "Come, old man, you're all right The bullet just clipped your very thick head and glanced off." Holton opened his eyes and saw a tall, broad-shouldered surgeon bending over him. "How do you feel now?" he asked, -Bully," smiled Holton. "I think I'll get up, If I may." "Oh, wm can get up just ss soon as you thins you feel sufficiently strong," replied the surgeon. He looked at Holton closely. "You're not of oar outfit Correspondent aren't youf' Holton smiled and shook his head. "No, my name is Holton, a lieutenant in the navy." "The navy! dad! You must has* been spoiling'for a landlubbers' scrap, then." " "I cams In from behind Santiago," volunteered Holton, "and ran Into this fight by accident. I have important information for Admiral Sampson, 11 you think I can get to the coast." "You certainly can. I am Bending a couple of wounded men down to Siboney now on horesback. I have another pony which you may borrow—remember, borrow," laughed the surgeon. "Be careful to keep that first-aid bandage on your head and by tonight you'U be all right. Not even a headache." "Thanks." Kolton, aided by the surgeon, got upon his feet, swayed weakly a moment with the other's arm around him, and then, getting his swimming head to rights, he walked slowly toward the trail. A hospital attendant stood there holding two horses, and one of these the surgeon took and assisted Holton into the saddle. "You can leave the nag at our camp in Siboney and I'll get him," he said. "By the way, my name is Church." "Bob Church, of Princeton?" exclaimed Holton, recalling now that he had seen that broad-shouldered young doctor on many a hard-fought gridiron. "The same," was the smiling reply. "Well, Bob Church, I owe you one," A Red Light Suddenly Flashed Before His Eyes. rejoined Holton. "I used to try to emulate your deeds on the eleven at Annapolis, but I don't think 1 ever succeeded." "Oh, yes, you did!" exclaimed the surgeon. "Holton—Holton—Tommy Holton—I place you now. I think they put something like All-America end after your name, a degree they never conferred upon me." Holton blushed; and then, thanking his benefactor, once more he passed on down the trail, in company with two privates, wounded in the "legs. As Holton wandered down a line of tents, he ran into Aldridge, Buxton and Fisher, all of the flagship New York. He fairly flung himself into their arms, and, overjoyed at seeing them for themselves not only, but because of the opportunity it gave him of getting the information he had obtained through to Admiral Sampson. After lunching with his friends as guests of the junior officers of the Third cavalry, Holton made his way to General Shatter's headquarters. The general was sleeping and could not be awakened, but Holton retailed his information concerning the spy to Lieutenant Miley, who received It with great politeness and apparent gratitude, but obviously with little faith either in the fealty or the efficacy of the Cubans—a state of mind that Holton found prevalent among most of the officers of the army. The army had been ordered to move to El Paso, or rather in the direction of El PUo, and there was much to engage Holton's Interest The trail leading into the jungle was congested with light artillery, ambu> lance wagons and marching men.

CANADA WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE The Latest Is Winning Championship for Oats a Third Time. Recently was published the fact of remarkable winnings by Canadian farmers in several events during the past three or four years. The latest Is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, who won in a hard contest for the oat championship over Montana. At the National Corn Exposition at Dallas during February, Montana oats were awarded the championship for the United States. Waiting for the winner of thlB to be announced was a peck of oats belonging to the Canadian growers above mentioned, and alongside of these was a like quantity belonging to a Minnesota grower, who was barred from the regular competition because he was at one time the winner of the trophy—the prize. The three entries were side by side on the judge's bench. It would not be possible to bring together three more likely samples. The Montana and Saskatchewan entries were of equal weight—50 pounds to the bushel. The Minnesota sample was some three pounds lighter. The award was unanimous In favor of the Saskatchewan oats. A remarkable feature and one greatly to the credit of the Canadian product was that the oats, grown in 1913, were grown and shown by those who had competed during the past two years, winning otf each occasion. This, the third winning, gave them for the third time the world's championship and full possession of the splendid 11,500 silver trophy contributed by the state of Colorado. The oats which have thus given to Western Canada another splendid advertising card, were grown 300 miles north of the international boundary line, proving that In this latitude, all the smaller grains can be grown with greater perfection and with more abundant yield than further south. In all this country are to be found farmers who produce oats running from 42 to 48 pounds to the bushel, and with yields of from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. Wheat also does well, grades high, and yields from 30 to 40 bushels per acre. The same may be said of any portion of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed over the world not only as a country where championship grains are grown, but where cattle and horses are raised that also carry off championships and where wild grasses are abundant yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa are grown, thus giving plenty of feed, and with a good climate, sufficient shelter and plenty of water, bring about results such as western Canada has been able to record. Thousands of farmers from the United States who have their homes in Canada bear ample testimony to the benefits they have derived from farming in western Canada.—Advertisement. "SICKED" WIND ON HIS RIVAL Fervent Supplication May Hsve Had No Effect, but It 8urely Came From the Heart. When the minstrel show reached town, in Alabama, there was barely time for the usual street parade. Awaiting the company at the depot was a large reception committee of darkies. Every dark in the crowd was anxious to get the job carrying one of the show banners, not alone for the sake of the free pass paid in exchange for the duty, but for the added glory of taking part in the procession. This was a small and struggling troupe, however, which boasted only one banner—a large ornate square of imitation red silk. A big negro grabbed it as the property man passed It off the car, and clung to it, fighting off all opposition. As he started proudly up the street, with the flagpole resting proudly in the pit of his stomach, a stiff breeze caught the banner and It bellied-like a sail, almost dragging the color-bearer Off his feet, and forcing him to tack and jibe to keep from being capsised bodily. Observing his plight, a disappointed candidate for the job raised JWS voles in invocation from the side* walk: "Sick him, wind;" be yetted. "Sick him!" New Reading.

But over the richer rural parts of Ireland has come Intelligent organized industry and enthusiastic energy which make it as rich and prosperous as the richest portions of the great middle west In America. Rural Ireland is unquestionably a regenerate Ireland. The process of regeneration is progressing. Prosperity is crowding out poverty and invading even those regions which have heretofore been considered the natural strongholds of poverty. How Prosperity Came to Ireland. There are several contributing causes for this changed condition. The land tenure laws have done wonders. •Tinder old conditions the slightest indication of prosperity upon the part )of the tenant, if it were only a new cap •or the wife a clean apron, meant a raise in rent. It was to the advantage of the tenant farmer to seem more miserable than he was. The system iput a premium on squalor and raggedness and slovenly farming. No one «ould safely whitewash his cottage or iplant a tree or cultivate a flower. Now All Is changed. Three hundred thousand farmer tenants are now purchasing their holdings under a beneficent law, which permits the purchase of the land without the advance payment of a cent. The only obligation upon the ipurchaser is that he pay annually 2¾ iper cent, upon the value of the little 'farm as interest and less than one-half per cent as an installment upon the principal. Plunkett Teaches Co-operation. There can be no doubt that rural [Ireland is making a business success of farming. But it is not doing its business in.a business-like way because of any spontaneous impulse on the part of the Irish farmer. It is rather be- •cause business-like Irishmen went about organizing the business procedure of rural enterprises in a most [business-like way. The leader of these 'business-like Irishmen is Sir Horace Plunkett. To him Ireland owes more than it will ever realize. From the (first his propaganda, was educational. iHis proposition was that the IriSh (farmer must be taught the efficacy of •combination in industries. He did not believe in subsidies or subventions. iNor did he believe that relief would icome through legislation or through state aid in any form. As Father Fintay, professor of econimics in the National University of Dublin, says: "The (farmers' best resources he held to be themselves, and In their own Intelligence, self-reliance and mutual trust, wind these resources it was his purtpose to develop." He Encounters Difficulties. There seemed to be most excellent (reasons why he could not succeed. The ilrish people were dispirited and discouraged. They were suspicious and 'afraid of all new movements. Sir 'Horace Plunkett himself belonged to ithe despised landlord class, with which the people had been long in constant (conflict. As Father Finlay says: "In religion he was a Protestant and his appeal would be to a people predominantly Catholic in a country where religious lantagonisms prevade every sphere of social life. In politics—so far as he rwas a politician—he was a Unionist, iand those whom he proposed to influence were Nationalists by a vast majority, keenly suspicious of any policy Which threatened to divert the mind wf the nation from the political alms on which it was passionately bent." It is not surprising, therefore, that it (was only after more than a year of ptrenuous efforts and after more than •fifty public meetings had been held, thai in 18S9 a body of Limerick farmers'finally consented to establish a cooperative creamery. It was again over a year before a second one followed (•art By the end o! 1891, however, Iwventeen creameries were at work, and at the end of 1893 thirty had been Organized. Thereafter the cooperative [societies were organised more rapidly. Now op-operation and good business (method / prevail throughout Ireland. rThere ' are 980 cooperative eottStttes upon the island. With an agigregaU paid up share capital of about « million dollars their annual turn-over jti twelve million dollars. , The I. A. 0. 8. • B„i& imrt*» co-operaUre movement jkt* become so great that there was *jg*»d of * central society to carry on the work which had theretofore been done by volunteer propagandists, There was needed an organization which should help rural communities organize their marketing and business processes, be a central federation of all existing societies, and become a supervisor and auditor of their business methods. Such a society is the Irish Agricultural society. At its head has been and is Sir Horace Plunkett, who has been the John the Baptist of the gospel of co-operation in Ireland. He is ably assisted by the secretary, Mr. R. A. Anderson, a man of rare executive ability and of eminent common sense. Associated in the movement also is Mr. George W. Russell, brilliant journalist and editor of the Irish Homestead, a man who is* practical as well as a poet and painter. The vice-president of the organization is Rev. Father Thomas A. Finlay, professor of economics in the National University at Dublin, a Catholic priest who has a most rare and kindly knowledge of human nature, combined with a splendid head for the details of the business of the co-operative organization. Seldom has so well balanced a quartet of men been associated together in any economic movement. They are in very fact a power for the business regeneration of rural Ireland. Practically all of the co-operative societies in Ireland have been organized by the I. A. O. S. Its organizers meet with the promoters of a news society and give them the benefit of the experiences of the older societies. They furnish a set of rules, advise as to equipment, install a system of bookkeeping and good business methods. The society has a staff of skilled, experienced men who are organizers, editors and inspectors. To it co-operative societies make certain definite reports. To it they constantly go for advice and council and over them it maintains a most complete power of audit., The function of the society is to unify and coordinate, to inspect, to audit, to advise. It has been its achievement to pilot all co-operative organizations through the struggles and difficulties inherent in the Initiation of the movement to ultimate success. During the parliamentary recess of 1895, through the efforts of this same statesman, Sir Horace Plunkett, there was brought together a committee of representative men of various parties and creeds, who later presented a petition to the government praying for the Institution of a state department which would fulfil the functions of a ministry of agriculture for Ireland. These proposals were embodies in a law enacted in 1899 and immediately thereafter the department of agriculture, with Sir Horace Plunkett at its head, began its career of education. The present head of "the department of agriculture and technical instruction," as it is now termed, is the Hon. Thomas W. Russell. Agricultural Wholesale Society. As was but natural, the co-operative organizations, after they had established themselves and began furnishing a product of high quality, found that the individual managers of the separate societies had not facilities for obtaining a knowledge of the market. To understand fully the conditions in all markets to which Irish products might reasonably be expected to have access was too large a task for each scattered organization to undertake for itself. Consequently the Irish Agricultural Wholesale society, limited, began business. At first it confined itself to the marketing of IriBh products. Later, when local co-operative societies found trouble in getting goods of high quality at reasonable prices, the organization took up the jobbing business as a side issue. Now it maintains two branches, one-seventh of its business is performed as a jobber, six-sevenths of its business is marketing Irish goods. About one-third of the Irish products handled go across the channel to England and Scotland. The healthful growth that has occurred In the business of the concern from 1906 to 1912 is indicated by the following figures: J.9U0 . . « < • > > . < • • • » « . . , • • • • • • • B Z ( 0 , 4 v 0 lifU i • > . • . . . • • » • • • • « • • • • « « » . . 3*8»lo5 ltfUB « « . . . « • » . » • « , • • » • • « , • • » • 3 V 5 , 7 D O 1909 521,630 1910 .*....... 617,5*0 ltfll >••...•..••,..•,•..«,.,, 664,645 1912 884,509 The Irish Homestead. The great co-operative movement Is not without its press a r m . Too Irish Homestead announces itself as "the organ of Irish agricultural and industrial development." Such it undoubtedly it. It does not, however, confine itself to teaching the doctrine of cooperation, but contains departments dealing with ail phases of agricultural development. The number before me has articles or comments upon the following subjects: "The Plea for the Middleman," "Seed Germination and Growth," "Live Stock Notes," "Tuberculosis," "Poultry," "Creamery Management," "Pages for Irish Countrymen." It also contains a column devoted to to the interests of "The United Irishwomen." The Irish Homestead is edited by George W. Russell, a brilliant writer, the clarity and force of whose editorial comments extend the subscription list to many who are not of those directly interested In the agricultural subjects which are the maintops discussed in the journal. The United Irishwomen. In all his efforts for Improving the conditions of rural Ireland, Sir Horace Plunkett makes constant use of the formula, "Better farming, better business, and better living." It is true that "better living" is placed within the reach of many an Irish family because of the returns guaranteed from the better farming and better business which come through co-operation, but as Father Finiay says in the article hertofore referred to, " At an early stage of the movement a scheme of what was called "home-brightening" was put into operation in certain selected centers where successful co-operative societies had been established. Educated ladies who had experience in peasant life in the more advanced rural communities of the continent were settled in model cottages. They received the women and 9 girls of the locality and taught them such elements of housekeeping as would enable them to turn the resources of house, garden and farmyard into best account. Later they became more intimate in their advice and assistance and became instrumental in the preparation of the family meals, suggested reforms In the matter of cleanliness and order, brought about the larger use of garden fruit and vegetables and taugh methods of preserving them. Soon the men of the family, becoming interested, co-operated In the process of home brightening. Simple Improvements were made, whitewash liberally applied, a kitchen garden cultivated, trees and flowers were planted, and shrubs and roses trained to grow against the walk. The cost of this home brightening scheme was at first defrayed by Sir Horace Plunkett, who devoted to it the salary attached to his office of vice-president of the department of agriculture. He realized, however, that it was essentially a women's work and should be in their hands. This led to the organization of "The United Irishwomen." As Miss Pilkington, one of their leaders, says: "The work which the United Irishwomen propose to do in rural Ireland may be considered under three heads—agriculture and industries, domestic economy, social and intellectual development.

SplenoNd Social Center. • member of the Kilkee branch of the United Irishwomen writing to an American interested in the movement says: "Our neighboring branch at Doonaha (about five miles from this) has combined with the farmers and others to purchase a disused creamery and make it into a parish hall, where we will hold classes under the various instructresses supplied by the congested districts board, the department and others, and where we will also have dances, plays, concerts and all the other things which make life happy for the country side. "Our branch here had an entertainment on November eve, which is an old Irish festival, as perhaps you know. We had games of various kinds, and dancing, including Irish jigs. We now have a teacher of plain needlework sent by the congested districts board, In Doonaha, and hope to get her for Kilkee later on. "Tomorrow we open our Girl club for winter evenings here in Kilkee, and in the same rooms we provide hot breakfast for the farmers and drovers who come in with cattle, on fair days, at cheap rates. We also serve hot cocoa to the school children who need It, every day at luncheon hour." And so the salvation of Ireland is after all being worked out by a big co-operative scheme in which local socities, the wholesale society, the agricultural department of the government, the I. A.

P R E S I D E N T READS MESSAGE Chief Executive Asks Congress to Repeal Adamson Act Containing Objectionable Clause—Powers Hold It Violation of Treaty. Washington, March 5.—President Wilson appeared personally before congress again this afternoon, this time to read a special message urging the repeal of the provision in the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise vessels from payment of tolls. This message was written and delivered In accordance* with the request of Representative Underwood. The Democratic floor leader felt that the president should assume the responsibility for action that will be directly contrary to one of the resolutions adopted by the last Democratic convention, and that he should give his reasons for favoring the repeal so that members who voted for the exemption clause would have an excuse for changing their attitude. President's Message. The address follows:-• "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I have come to you upon an errand which can be very briefly performed, but I beg that you will not measure its importance by the number of sentences in which I state it. No communication I have addressed to the congress carried with it graver or more far-reaching implications to the interest of the country and I now come to speak upon a matter with regard to which I am charged in a peculiar degree by the constitution Itself with personal responsibility. "I have come to ask for the repeal of that provision of the Panama canal act of August 24, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coast trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom, and the large policy of such a repeal with .the utmost earnestness of which I am capable. Exemption a Mistake. "In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes a mistaken economic policy from every point of view, and is, moreover, hi plain contravention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal concluded on November 18, 1901. But 1 have not come to you to urge my personal views. I have come to state to you a fact and a situation. "Whatever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this muchdebated measure, its meaning is not debated outside the United States. Everywhere else the language of tne treaty is given but one interpretation, and that Interpretation precludes the exemption I am asking you to repeal. Consented to Treaty. "We consented to the treaty; its language we accepted, if we did not originate it; and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respecting a nation to interpret with too strained or refined a reading the words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do is the only thing we can afford to do, a voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunderstood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. "I ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to deal with other meetings of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure."

Permission Granted Several Days Ago Prevents Danger of International Complications From Action. Laredo, Ter.—Texas rangers, who secretly crossed into Mexico Saturday qight, Sunday brought to the American eids the mutilated body of Clemente Vergara, Texas ranchman, and established the fact of his execution after he was seized by Mexican federals. The rangers were not opposed, accomplishing their search without the slightest violence, taking the body from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery, almost within sight of the Texas border. The seizure was divested of possibly grave aspects in international complications, by reason of the fact th?t the rangers were virtually making use of permission granted officially by Mexican federal authorities several days ago for recovery of the body. This permission had been given to United States Conseul Alonzo Garrett at Nuevo Laredo, but he did not get the body because of what he reported as dangers attending search for it in the immediate vicinity of Hidalgo. Vergara was- shot twice through the head and once through the neck, his skull was crushed as by a blow from a rifle butt, and the charred fingers of the left hand indicated he had been tortured before being put to death.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE Smithvllle, Ind.~"Six months ago our baby girl, one year old, had a few red pimples come on her face which gradually spread causing her face to become very irritated and a fiery red color. The pimples on the child's face were at first small watery blisters, just a small blotch on the skin. She kept scratching at this until in a few days her whole cheekB were fiery red color and instead of the little .blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very, much. "We UBed a number of remedies which seemed to give re.lief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti* cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Qint* ment. I washed the child's face with very warm water and Cuticura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointment very lightly. After doing this about three times a day the Itching and burning seemed entirely gone in two days' time. Inside of two weeks' time her face seemed well. That was eight months ago and there has been no return of the trouble." (Signed) Mrs. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.

"There's a Rev * £ $ • .'•4if war*" A MW PINCKNEY DISPATCH SYNOPSIS. » Lieutenant Holton is detached from his •qpimand )n the navy at the outset of the Wpanlsh-AnM'rk'an war and assigned to Important secret service duty. While din- Ipg at a Washington hotel he 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 TosBa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl Is a spy Senor La Tosaa chides his daughter for her failure to secure' Important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Ouba. 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 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 4it 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. CHAPTER VII.—Continued. "Nevertheless," persisted his inquisitor. "I aek you what you would do. Come, come,"—Holton recognized by his manner a personage of some authority in the Cuban cause—"it 'would be so easy for you to say that until Cuba is absolutely free no drop of blood in your body is your own." "It would be easy to say that," was the ead response, "but I have shed my /blood. I am old. I have struggled and suffered for my country. In the intervention of the United States I see the answer to all my struggles and to all my prayers. I am like a man who has come to the end of a long journey. 3 see the brightness ahead, the load is eased from the back. God's hand is mow at work in this island. And as this hand moves, so will I abide. He lhas Bent the Americans here and he will send them away in good season after their work is done. If not, then 00 be It" For a moment there was silence. Then Garcia spoke again. "You have nothing to fear. It is my thought that unless our American tfrlendSv make a speedy ending of this campaign they will be routed by disease, and if they do not fly they will die, surely and certainly. And thus •even if I agreed with you in your contentions, I should Btill advocate leaving the matter to God." "Time will tell. And now you must »leep, general. Who was that American/' he added, "who remains with syouf "An Englishman, a newspaper writer," was the reply. "He is not English; he, is American." "Admiral Sampson vouched for him. But at any rate, suppose he is an [American? He might be that and still fbe a writer for the English press." General Garcia arose decisively. "As you suggest," he said, "I most teieep. There Is yet much before me." "There Is much yet before us all," grumbled the officer. "Good night, {general." As Garcia turned to his tent the man walked to the fire; he leaned down, tseized an ember and lighted a cigarette. The flames shone full upon his Iface. With a half gasp Holton arose in Oils blanket, and then, as the fellow straightened up, he sank back upon fthe boughs. But his eyes never left [the man's face. At length, with quick motion, the Cuban turned toward Holton, who had jjust time to close his eyes. Thus he lay tense, listening for the sounds that [would have caused him to spring to his [feet—the sounds of the man's foot* steps approaching him. Bat the sounds did not come. As (Holton at length opened his eyes he saw the man writing by the light of the Are upon a small pad lying on his [knee. "Ton are indeed a good waiter, my Ifrlend," muttered Holton to himself, iand rising from his blanket he walked noiselessly toward the fellow he had first seen, in the dining-room at the New Willard. So deeply was the man engrossed in U s writing that Holton'a, movement £u unnoticed by him. And for this oKon thanked him sincerely before fbe had gone two steps. v H e acted upon Impulse in rising (from his blanket, and without any deflmlte intention save that of accosting fthe man. But now the futility of doing ftnjs ia ,tti4 'campV w*it Oarcia not yet asleep, and without any well-informed plans for dealing with him appealed to him forcibly. He stopped suddenly In his tracks and then stole back to his bed of boughs. ( Holton's mind waB in sore quandary as to what to do. Unquestionably this man held a high place in the esteem of Garcia, who just as certainly had no idea that he was a Spanish spy. As to the conversation, Holton believed he had the key to that; the spy was engaged in the process of poisoning the minds of Cuban leaders against the Americans, a plot which, if carried forward successfully and rapidly, might seriously affect the present campaign, and at the same time have a decided tendency to give point to certain relations already strained with several powerful foreign nations. One thing was sure, the moves of this man must be checkmated, and sharply. Just how was the question. Holton lay there deliberating what he ought to do for more than an hour, and still undecided when the spy settled things for him by slipping his pad in his pocket and walking toward his horse. He stood for a moment there, his head turned toward Garcia's little hut of leaves and grasses, and then mounting he rode off down the trail. Holton now lost no time in deciding on his course. Obviously it was to the interests of his government that this man be watched, and so waiting for a minute until the bushes had closed behind the spy, he stealthily started in pursuit. After leaving the lines, Holton quickened his steps, keeping well within the shadow of the bushes until he was within fifty feet of the rider. Presently the bottom of the mountain was reached, and the spy continued on through the manigua Jungle. As he broke through into the open, Holton made a little detour and came out on the beach, crawling now, about seventy- five feet from where the man was standing, holding his horse by the bridle and gazing out over the bay, where could be made out the light of a dispatch boat. As the officer watched him, the spy raised his hand, and a low but penetrating whistle broke the stillness of the night A lantern waved from a craft in the bay, and in a few minutes the rattle of oars in their locks sounded. As the boat came shoreward, Holton, now breathlessly interested, wriggled his way nearer the spy and flattened against the sand and shielded by small growths of chaparral, he awaited the arrival of the boat. As it grated on the beach, a tall of* fleer sprang out, and Holton had no difficulty in recognizing him as one of General Shatter's aids. "Well, Montez," said the latter, 'I thought you were never coming." "I thought so, too," was the reply. "There was difficulty in getting out of the camp, but now I am here and I have information the general wishes." "All right. What is it?" "Calixto Garcia Is not your friend. He is one of the leaders in a plan to attack you once you have rid Santiago province of the Spaniards. I can give you proof." The spy drew from his pocket the pad upon which he had been writing and, tearing off a sheet, handed it to the officer, who read it by lighting a match and holding it in front of the paper. "That is a copy of a letter which General Garcia wrote tonight to General Castillo and General Rabi." "Are you* sure of this?" "Absolutely. But I will say this much: The message, as I have it, is not word for word. I read it after he wrote i t for he showed It to me; after he fell asleep' I wrote it from memory." "Very well. Have yon anything else to teli me? Will Garcia carry out die arrangements made with General Shatter this afternoon?" "Oh, yes; he will. You will understand that nothing which will hinder American success against the Spanlards will be done; Garcia and the other Cuban generals are looking to the futare." "Very well; HI report to the com* mande-Mn-chiel What are your futare Intentions r "I should like to accompany you to the Sefaranca. General Shatter may have some questions, and, in any event, I shaH feel safer *t asm just at "You see," the spy added, "my role as one of the leaders of the Cuban Junta, coupled with my supposed belief in the absolute integrity and disinterestedness of the United States as regards Cuba, sometimes lead me into danger. Garcia, who is my friend, believes in me, but Castillo, I have reason to think, iB suspicious. Garcia meets Castillo tomorrow, and so—" he shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands. "All right," grunted the American; "jump Into the boat." Before the spy obeyed, he turned for a moment and repeated his whistle. Then, in a very mild voice, he said: "It is time, senor, for your salad— with dressing." Holton, knowing the words were addressed to him, was oi\the point of scrambling to his feet when a powerful arm was thrown across his throat, throttling him, while, at the same time, his handB and feet were seized and bound in a twinkling. A gag was then slipped into his mouth, and he lay there helplessly, regarding the four figures who stood over him. "What is it?" .he heard the officer say. "Merely," was the reply, "an inquisitive soldier from Garcia's camp. They bother me so—you have no idea." "Well," was the laughing reply, "you certainly seem to know how to deal with them. Now, come on, if you are coming." "Thank you; yes." He delivered a volley of commands in Spanish, speaking so rapidly that Holton could not understand a word. The men replied in kind, and then the officer and^ the spy stepped into the boat and were rowed offshore. CHAPTER VIM. A Grim Announcement. The men, who proved to be three gigantic negroes and a white man, attired in the blue drill uniform of a Spanish officer, with a little cockade in his felt hat, Jerked Holton to, his feet, cut the lashings about his ankles and hurried him toward the trail. Finally, as hints of dawn appeared overhead, the party arrived at a small clearing where were picketed some score of horses, with their riders, evidently a contingent of Spanish cavalry. There was a short conference, and then the gag was taken from Holton's mouth and he was lifted upon a pony. The cavalcade took up the trail Which ran alongside the mountain, below the camp of Garcia, in the direction of Santiago. As the sun rose, a halt was called in a little valley, and preparations were made for what Holton believed would be a stay of considerable duration. It was then that for the first time a word was spoken directly to Holton. A Powerful Arm Was Thrown Across His Throat An officer—not the one who had figured in his capture, but the man in charge of the detachment—confronted the Ajnerican as he sat on the ground, and, releasing his hands, placed a guard over him. "You will have apportunity for two hours' rest," he said, bowing. "Then we shall proceed at once to Santiago." "But why have I been captured?" Ipfttested Holton. "I am a non-combatv. • He produced Ms credentials as correspondent of the London Standard. The officer examined them carefully. Then he placed them in his pocket. "I am convinced you are lying," he replied simply. "Our information concerning you is exceedingly accurate. For your sake I trust the papers may be found correct. For otherwise"—he shrugged hlB BhoulderB—"you are a spy." A chill passed over Holton. He had not thought of that before. A spy! And in war time they had a summary way of dealing with such. After a very meager breakfast, the men threw themselves upon the ground, chatting and smoking, and Holton did likewise. He felt in its fullness the relief of having his hands free, and, in large measure, despite the guard standing over him and the men all about, he became possessed of greater confidence in his ability to meet this situation, the most dangerous that had ever confronted him. Fearing, no doubt, the proximity of Garcia's men, the soldiers did not move until late afternoon, and then with great stealth, all talking in the ranks being rigidly silenced. Holton had had opportunity for several hours' sleep. He was thereby greatly refreshed, and, under reaction, his fears for himself were considerably lessened. Dusk fell, and still the march continued. On through the night went the men, and without a stop until dawn, when camp was made in a clearing which had been cut where two of the mountain trails met and crossed. Here, as the heavens grew bright, fires were lighted, and a meal prepared, after which sentries were posted. Then the camp settled down for sleep. Holton had no idea how many miles had been covered since his capture, but felt it must be a great many. Standing up he could now see far away over the hills the twinkling lights of Santiago, and these he could not help viewing with dread. At nightfall the march was again taken up, and at dawn the force was within a few miles of the city. A squad was sent on ahead to report to General Linares, but came flying back in a few hours with messages to the effect that the soldiers were leaving for El Paso, and that the troops of the United States would shortly advance from Siboney. There were other matters, too, in the papers brought by the messenger, and one of them seemed to concern Holton, for the officer, while reading it, glanced at him with a troubled face. At length he came up to Holton and drew him to one side. "I am sorry to inform you," he said, "that I have orders here to hang you at once." Holton stepped hack as though he had been struck in the face. "Hang me at once!" he cried. "Those are my orders, signed by the commander-in-chief of this province. "But there must be some mistake," Holton went on, "I am not a spy; but even if I were I certainly have done nothing to justify an act so unfair, inhuman and outrageous." "I do not see how any mistake could have been made," came back the answer. "Here you see the warrant signed by Muller, the general's aide." "Then General Linares did not sign that warrant?" "No. It reads General Linares 'orders,' and is then signed by Muller." "But surely—" Holton began. "There is no time for argument, my brother. We are ordered to Guaismas and have no time to waste with you. I am sorry, but—" the fellow shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the order. Holton's mind worked like lightning. The men were engaged in breaking camp and the one who had been guarding Holton had turned aside at the officer's approach, and now, with his back toward the two, was extracting a clip of bullets from his Mauser. Behind Holton was an apparently impenetrable jungle of manigua. The muscles^of his body grew tense, and then with all the skill and all the sureness of direction of the champion middleweight boxer at Annapolis, he sent his fist swiftly and silently into the officer's Jaw. Without a sound the man crumpled to the ground. Holton stepped back into the thicket was blocked a few feet from the trail, but exerting all his power, forced his way Into the depths of the jungle. During a fall minute silencej-elgned in the camp. It was all of that period before the prostrate officer, hidden by the long grass, was discovered by Holton's guard. Then his outcry sounded through the clearing, and in another instant loud commands were being uttered and bullets were cutting branches of manigua on all sides of the fugitive American. Then followed the crashing of bodies through the maze of underbrush. As he worked his way along a little lane, apparently formed by nature or by the deer that used to inhabit that .section/opened before him, continuing for a clear quarter of a mile. This he took with the speed of one of the former denizens of the Jungle, never letting, up until he had traversed its length and had broken onot more into the bushes. (TO BE COKTINUBD.) • .

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, March 5, 1914 No. 10 ^ An Excellent Program The program rendered by the members of the Pinckney school under the auspices of the Glee Glub last Friday afteruoon in xxmmenoratiou of the lives of Washington, Lincoln and Longtellow W88 one which reflected £f#|t cjedit on both the work of the-pupils and that of the teachers who trained them. The etercises consisted of singing, select readings and drills. Each and every one did their part unusually well.

He is an advertising grocer, who writes his own advertisements, and some of them are unique. Here is a recent one; "Some of you people give me a pain about the high cost of living. .You dou't know any more about it than my kid, nine months old.

The Old System The following was taken from an exchange and we suppose they looked up the law in the matter before publishing it and found it to be correct: A law passed by the last legislature gives the farmers of any township an opportunity to go back to the old method of "working out" their road tax, if a majority of them so desire, instead of paying the tax in cash. It provides that the matter can be voted upon at the regular township meeting and if a majority of the freeholders in the township express a desire to return to the old system, their wish must be respected. The only action required to bring the matter to a vote is a petition signed by at least twelve of the taxpayers interested. This petition must be presented to the township board a sufficient length of time previous to the election and it then becomes the dnty of the township officials to prepare the necessary ballots and submit the question at the regular township meeting. No person not a taxpayer can vote on the question, nor can any person who is a resident of any corporate village within the township.

They are all what the. Wall Kreet clerk would call "robes;" they are "hay-seeds/' They are farmers— who, as you know, must not be confused with agriculturists. When we think of American banks and bankers we' think of the buildings which have the finest fronts in town and of the men who also put up the finest fronts. We think of shrewd tellers who never tell anything; of cashiers who are constantly upos^he point of refusing cash to those who need it most; of boards of directors who oft In softly carpeted rooms on upholstered chairs, around polished-.. Circassian walnut tables. The IriBh bankers we nave Just seen wore mud-bespattered clothtes. They t sat In a nine? floored room, on rough chairs, around* a'rough * table upon which a smoking, smelling kerosene lamp cast a dim light that was almost a shadow. Business Before History. In our search for all that is good In rural organization, we landed last night in Limerick. Limerick is a mighty interesting city, founded by the Danes a thousand years ago; a city which Cromwell's forces could not enter until the plague and starvation had conquered the defenders who couM not be conquered by the sword; a city which in 1690 withstood a siege by King William, who was baffled because the women of the city fought with the men; a city whence came the wild geese who flew from Ireland to Spain and other southern lands so they might indulge their warlike tastes which could no longer be exercised in Ireland. But Just now more important than historic Limerick is the modern village of Foynes with its egg marketing society and its farm credit association. So to Foynes we came this afternoon, through a driving rain over 30 miles of the fine Irish roadways which a day's heavy rainfall can only soften into slight slipperiness. Wo are under the guidance of A. M. Riddle, an organizer and inspector of cooperative societies, employed by the Irish Agricultural Organization society; a bright, eager, energetic, tactful Irishman who, after long Btudy and years of hard work in cooperative societies throughout Europe, knows co-operation from A to Z. Farmers Who Are Bankers, At seven o'clock on this rainy night we found six of the seven members of the loan committee assembled in the village clubhouse. Here are six shrewd but kindly Irish gentlemen who know .their business thoroughly. Some of them have driven miles through rain and wind. All are serving without pay. One is the manager of a little sawmill, previously, a school teacher; another ts an intelligent ex* member of the Royal Irish constabulary; one operates successfully a large rented farm; one is a raiser of blooded horses; one Is a sharp-tongued but, at heart, good nstured farmer, who Is evidently a believer In discreet kindliness concealed under apparent harshness; one Is a clerk in a mercantile establishment. The secretary is a retired school teacher with a good working knowledge of accounting and business methods. How They Work. The inspector had previously looked over all the books and accounts and had made memoranda of transactions which needed explanation and of -delinquencies calling for comment Some of the cases called will serve as illustrations of the character of the loans made as well as of the method of inspection employed. They are Illustrative also of the attitude of the committee toward the borrower. John O'Brien had taken four years in which to repay a loan of 12 pounds. The books showed that immediately upon the repayment of this first loan another loan had been made to him. To the inspector the second loanseemed a loan to enable the borrower to repay th*e previous loan, and consequently unwise and contrary to the rules. The committee showed, however, that the man's slowness in repaying the first loan was due to sickness and hard luck. Then the interesting fact appeared that the second loan was given to enable the borrower to send a bright, fouiteen-yesMtd'Mfi to~ss*o**> fss> the purpose, of Np^sr qus^fylaf^hlm as a wage-earner. The plan had succeeded. The boy had been at*sdhoot eight months, had done #etl,*titift secured a position, and was now so situated that he could assist, and was assisting, In the repayment of the loan. The inspector, on understanding the purpose, of the second loan, Indorsed it as a perfectly legitimate one, and sanctioned the action of the committee. As to another case, one of the members said: "He's all right; he is going to be married, and it's a fine girl he gets and a bit of money, about 75 pounds she'll bring him, too, and that will help to pull him through and make the payments." Of another delinquent a member •aid: "A sister ws* a long time ailing, and after a long sickness she died, poor child. He's a fine boy, honest as the day Is long. He's a decent fellow. We can't crowd him. He's bad a .herd time. He'SHJoing all he can, atid will pay as Bare as the sun rises." f I Buying Pig*.. ! Of another case the inspector sai^i: "Here'B a guard on the train who borrowed money from us for the purchase" of p'filV^e hasn7! ttmftlo tend hogs, has he?" Back came the reply: "Sure, any of us that has a wife and a home can keep pigs if he wants to. It's as easy to keep pigs as it is to keep a home at all." It appeared, however, that no pigs had been bought by the train guard; that a relative had bought pigs, presumably with the money borrowed. There was no danger at all as to the repayment of the loan, the sureties being good. Fraud had been practiced, however, and the committee were not at all complacent about their part in the matter, feeling they had been too easy in making the loan. This particular brakeman would have a poor chance If he ever asked for another loan. And so the committee proceeded sympathetically considering each individual case, deciding each upon its own merits, irrespective of what are considered in America to be general banking rules. It must be borne in mind that the cases referred to were a few delinquents among a very large number which were promptly settled. What Money Is Used For. Many of the loans had been for the purchase of seeds and manures in the previous spring. Some of the members had purchased pigs; sometimes a cow was secured. One had bought a horse, one had built a cow shed. On the whole the rule that loans could be made only tor productive and economic use was well observed. "It's hard to crowd the boys," laid one of the-members. "Ah, that's'the trouble with us Irish," replied the inspector. "But good business means good business, although it is hard to be harsh at all." South of Ireland temperaments were not altogether convinced that harshness was wisdom, and the answer came back: "Did you ever know of harshness to be any good at all?" Some Harshness Necessary. The inspector, who, in our previous conversation with him, had seemed the most easy tempered young man, developed a considerable severity when appearing before the committee. He kept insisting that the delinquent debtors must be dealt with more harshly and in a more business-like way. In several cases he advised Immediate legal proceedings unless something was done. He told them that unless good business methods prevailed a new committee must be appointed or thgt the society would get Into trouble and would be closed out. The attitude was more or less for effect upon the committee. The man raised in this section of Ireland is so soft-hearted-that he cannot be harsh in his own matters, and it is indeed difficult for him to be businesslike when business-like methods involve harshness. The committee took the situation seriously to heart, however, and the words of the inspector had their effect for they promised that more business-like methods would prevail in the. future. Good Business Methods. The inspector had not only full knowledge of co-operative concerns, but was evidently in addition a skilled accountant, and pointed out why the books must be kept according to the uniform system of accounts recommended by the Irish Agricultural OrgaalaatiOB^ soeieiy.r A must searching annual audit of accounts is also required performed by either an offifclsl'pubTlc auditor appointed under the* friendly Societies* act -ST by persons selected by the joNMabers at the annual meeting.' ,Jpverywhere *as herej and accounting methods are. employ dtTano^hat «WefuT= audita sue insisted upon and considered necessary to the success of these societies. If there is any lack of these qualifications in the farmers who are the bankers, the lack te~sup»UesV by the I. A. O. S. through their inspectors and auditors. Farmers Can -Be Good^ Bankers. We came somewhat doubting whether a farmer could be a banker. We Ko away convinced that the farmer, if assisted by good supervision and inspection, can be at once a good business man and a kindly neighbor. Here in this Foynes society is a committee of business men who" are willing to come together to consider loans of the most trivial amounts and to meet periodically and discuss methods of bringing more money into the little community tp be loaned out to those needing it. They are ready to go over all the petty troubles and trials and misfortunes of the unfortunate borrower, to discuss ways and means of helping the weaker brother pay his debt. These men are In fact bearing the burdens of an entire community so far as the small business difficulties are concerned. All are most anxious to see every farmer able to buy good seed, good manures, good stock and to improve the position of himself and family, yet equally anxious to protect the funds of the bank. It is a question whethter the board of directors of any big financial house who sit in richly upholstered chairs around Circassian wfclnut tablee ever more efficiently discharged the duties of bank directors than have this group of mud-bespattered farmers sitting in cheap wooden chairs around this pine table. One Man One Vote. This co-operative banking association at Foynes is under the absolute control of the farmers hereabouts. This control is not centered in a few rich members who have furnished the capital. Each member has one vote, irrespective of his investment. There Is no massing of votes in the hands of those who have the most money In the concern. Here men carry the voting power, not money. The co-operative Idea is essentially democratic. Experience shows that no other system succeeds. For one man to possess twice as much power as his neighbor renders an association no longer truly co-operative. Before this principle was recognized, when one I or two members might out-vote 100 members, more than one co-operative ; effort went to pieces. The average farmer member is poor. He has never handled money. He may never have made a loan. He knows nothing of banking forms, of bank bookkeeping, of the legal rights of borrowers Or of lenders. He is an easy-going, good-hearted Irishman. Men of this type control and make up the loan committee, which must pass on loans, enforce collections and decide on all minor'questions relating to the policy of the organization. How can such members be good hankers? In America it takes shrewd, welltrained business men to make a bank succeed. They., know more of bank accounting than do accountants. They know aa much of banking law as do lawyers. They have by long study of their subject become familiar with every phase of it. How then can these happy-go-lucky Irish farmers become successful financiers? The answer, or the biggest part of the answer, is that the Irish Agricultural Organization society has a beneficent supervision over them snd furnishes them with the qualifications which they lack. Interview With Doctor McCarthy. Notwithstanding all that co-operative credit has done for Ireland, it still has a lack, says Doctor McCarthy. The small tenant farmer has had ample provisions made for him by the government for the purchase of his home. Small farmers, through credit' assocations, have ample opportunities of obtaining small loans for productive purposes. What Ireland most needs now, however, is a system of loans by which the owners of the larger, estates may secure finds with which to make their estate productive and profitable. The owners of the big estates are all in need of money. They are as poor, in a sense, as the poorest tenant farmers. The worst farming in all Ireland is sometimes found upon the largest estates. These farmers find it difficult to obtain a large loan, at a low rate of interest, on long time, with privileges of amortisation payments, such as will enable them to use money for the gradual upbuilding of the productiveness of the farm. If it were possible here to borrow money upon mortgages of this description as It is In Germany, in France, in Italy and even in Russia, th«<rursi*porttons of Ireland would advance much more rapidly. America can safely adopt the Irish system of short time personal loans, but we should Shelve in addition something like the OSrman Landschaften banks for larger lonsrtlm* loans.

I PINCKNEY DISPATCH i ^ U1 ' r± I PERE MARQUETTE RAILROAD NEED8 MONEY FOR NEW EQUIPMENT. W A N T S TO ISSUE BONDS REFUNDING $12,614,894. Judge Tuttle Gives Receivers Sixty Days to Arrange Plan for New Financing,—Alio Default of Interest Due March 1. SOLICITOR Of STATE DEPARTMENT TO CHANGE Detroit.—Urgency of the Pere Marquette Railroad company's need for money to purchase new equipment and to meet various obligations and indebtedness other than those resulting from bond. issues is emphasized in two developments. which came to light. Authoritative announcement was made that, Receivers Frank A. Blair, Dudley # Waters and ,S, .M.. Feltpn are preparing to submit to the United States court a petition asking authorization, to. issue receivers' refunding certificates to an amount which will include, sufficient funds to care for obligations aggregating $12,614,- 894.24. The second development is an order issued by Judge A. J. Tuttle in the United States court directing the receivers to omit payment of interest due March 1 on $260,000 of outstanding first mortgage 5 per cent bonds of the Grand Rapids, Beldrag & Saginaw railroad, one of the constituent properties of the Pere Marquette. As all mortgages securing obligations, of the Pere Marquette embody a stipulation that 60 days shall be alkrwed in which to pay interest on which default is made, that period at least is given the receivers in which to arrange for new financing, plains for which are understood to be now under consideration. "tt any unscrambling of the Pere Marquette system is to be done, the initiative,, will be taken by holders of the mortgages on the original railroads which make up the component parti of the system," said Judge Tuttle when asked regarding a rumor that his order might lead to dissolution of the troubled railway organisation. "My action in ordering that interest on bonds be withheld was intended to keep the road as an integral whole. I have been insisting that the interest on the 832,000,- 000 original mortgages be paid first, so that these creditors may be satisfled, but if the road is unable to meet these obligations, it is possible that the holders will attempt to obtain a dissolution. It remains for them to decide whether they prefer their individual'line as it existed prior to 1910, or as part of the Pere Marquette system. BELIEVE MAN WAS MURDERED. Evidence Found That Botsfield Wat Not Killed In Fire. South Branch, Mich.—That Charles Botsfield, 61, the farmer who waa reported to have been burned to death Wednesday when flre destroyed his barn was murdered is the belief of Sheriff A. O. Guilford and Prosecuting Attorney O. A. Bennett, who visited the Botsfield home Friday. The body lay face downward in the ashes of the hay in the barn while the bodies of several cattle were still smoking beside him. Botsfleld's arms were extended, his legs drawn back and the top'of his skull was missing. His .lantern lay about two feet in front of him and a pocketbook and knife near by. The path to the house was sprinkled with blood patches and on the back steps were marks that lead to the belief that he waa dragged from his house to the barn, where the murderer, in order to destroy the evidence of his guilt set lire to the structure, hoping that his victim would be consumed. In Botsfleld's bedroom were many evidences of a crime. Everything is smeared witb blood. Fine gunshot was found imbedded in the wall and two bloody gun wads behind the bed. Blood had been partially wiped from the floor, but-tracks of it were seen in the cracks. Outside, tracks led from the house in many directions.

Nearly half of the time there were running sores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a-time before ^hey were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the,great suffering. The sores were deep running ones and BO sore that I could hot bear for anything—to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, It was Jalways so sensitive to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it. The. skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white felt, blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape. This I wore night and day. "I tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect. Last summer I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The very.first time I used Cuticura Soap and bint* ment I gained relief;.they relieved the pain right the,n.

At two o'clock the Gnat was just making a wide turn at the end of the •tip, preparatory to proceeding up the Use, when Holton saw against the blackness a deeper black—something that seemed to move. J It was out in the bay, perhaps two* hundred yards. As he lowered his head, straining his eyes Into the sable curtain, he found he had lost whatever he had seen. Perhaps his Imagination had played* him false. But no, that could not be. for In his first glance he remembered' that some stars on the horizon had been blotted out by the object. That certainly waa suggestive of Its tangibility. Holton went to the little bridge, and, pointing out the spot where he had last seen the moving blot on the night, ordered the On at to head in that direction at half-speed. For five minutes the little craft proceeded out into the bay, and then aud> denly Holton made out clearly the outlines of a small tugboat, with a skiff in tow. "Heave to, or HI fire!" cried Holton. • Still no reply, but the propeller of the tug could be heard churning the water In excess speed. Without further word, Holton snatched the rifle from the sailor's hand, took quick aim. and let dive. A* a response, there came five shots in rapid succession from the tug, the bullets rattling' through the Gnat's funnel and ventilators. Fall >P««4 ahead!" cried Holton, in full exaltation at hearing for the first time the whistle of bullets discharged in anger. "Right into her," ha added, forgetful of hit boat's "tin bow"—"run her down!" When within a hundred feet the Onat sheered off, made a detour, and rounded to In front of the tug's bow. "Stop!" yelled Holton. leveling the rifle. "Stand by that machine gun," he added in a low tone to the man at his side. The tug stopped abruptly, but not a sound came from her. "What boat Is thatr called Holton. No reply, As the bow of the torpedo boat rasped against the fenders of the stranger, Holton, his pistol in hand, leaped over her guards to the deck. Three of his men followed. Then, as though by magic, shadowy forms arose. A dark figure moved swiftly at Holton's side, and as his revolver biased in the man's face, he felt the sharp Impact of a weighted club upon his shoulder. Another man seised him from behind, and in an instant the deck was the scene of a wild hand-to-hand fight Holton felled his foe with a revolver end then turned to the ssslatsnoe of one of hia semmen, beset by two men. Revolvers were banging on all sides, wildly, as it appeared to Holton, for he caught fleeting glimpses of his three sen fighting as American sailormen In a flash of light Holton saw a man bending at the stern. In his hand was the match whence the flash had cose. The officer darted swiftly toward hlsn. He saw a sputter of sparks. Quick as thought he turned. "Men of the Onat, overboard!" he roared.' ''Dynamite. Suiting action to his words, he dived swiftly into the dark waters, and the next instant the Port of Tampa was startled by en exploefo* which shattered the windows of the hotel and brought thousands rushing out into! the •*is r, «* Eton's first thought: as soon kk hia. head emerged above the water, ws)f ft* of hianoaiUon, which fss> innately was not ten yard* from-that occupied by toe Goat. He ttade her in several strokes, and waa fished over the side by a sailor. The man at the wheel had lighted a red flare, and by thia means the other three men In the water were guided to their vessel. Beyond a few bruises, all were uninjured. In the meantime Holton waa not too busy to notice that the explosion had thrown the harbor into wild confusion. Rowboats were everywhere, having sprung on the water aa though by magic, and the decks of the transports were alive with figures. Search-lights were flashing in every direction; and men's voices arose in a babel of confusion. As soon as practicable Holton changed his water-soaked clothing and went ashore, leaving the Gnat to continue her patrol. There was little doubt In his mind that the men in the vessel were bent on the destruction of the transports; that the explosives aboard her were to be placed under the sterns of a dozen or more of the steamships, and then set off by a single electric spark. Holton believed that the tug had gone as near to the slip aa she intended to go when he discovered her, and that further operations were to have been conducted from the row boat towing astern. Dawn was approaching as Holton waited for the Onat to make her inshore turn, and ai the light was now filtering across the heavens he followed his usual custom of putting out of the bay for a look at things on the open water. The air of the morning, fresh and cool, blew against his face and filled him with Inspiration. Today the transports would leave for Cuba, his period of nightly grind would end, and be, too, would start for the battle-ground; for in his pocket were orders to report to Admiral Sampson for further instructions the moment the transports were safely off the Cuban coast And then—? No such furor as attended their previous sallies from port marked their departure this time. The ardent public had grown a bit weary of successive good-bys, and remained away from the water-front, so that the only eclat that marked the occasion waa furnished by the soldiers themselves. Holton, trailing along In the little Inat, viewed with Joyous eyes the scene spread before him, and truly it was one remarkable la many ways. Over seven miles of water stretched the fleet, the transports steaming In long, stately line, flanked by grim, leadenhued torpedo boats . and gunboats, which flew here and there, megaphoning orders to the transport. On the third day, Romano Key and the blue mountains were raised to starboard. On June to the fleet was off the Cuban coast, twenty miles from Santiago. Here the Seguranca, the headquarters ship, steamed away from the other transports, and went up toward Aserraderoa, Holton, Jkardly knowing; what was up, following- his instructions not to lose this vessel, steamed after her and eventually made out the mouse-colored bulk of the New York, flagship of Sampson's squadron. Mindful of his orders to report to the commander-tn-chitf as soon as the transports were off the coast, Holton put the Onat under full headway, and soon lay alongside the war-ship's gangway. He knew most of the company aboard her, and was warmly welcomed as he went up thi ladder. Presently an orderly returned with a summons for Holton. Sampson was standing by a table aa Holton entered and saluted. The young officer had never seen him before, and he viewed with great and kindling interest this grave man with his thoughtful fore* head, his steady, scholarly blue* eyas, his white beard and mustache. The admiral looked at Holton for a moment, and then hs said: "Mr. Holton, I fear I am about to aak you to undertake a dangerous mission." CHAPTER VII. I rt the tylght Hours. Holton smiled! gamely. "I am ready, sir." The admiral Bedded and paced thoughtfully up down his cabin few 4 moment "In a few moments,* be said at length, ^ , am. going over to dor *'-.'•.' i- ' • * * - i > i . Seguranea to meat Genera! Shatter. From there we saaR land at Aserraderos to meet General Garcia and discuss several matters, including a landing- place for the army. You will accompany me and meet the Cubans." He paused. "Very good, sir." replied Holton, "When we return you will not return with us. You will remain with the Cubans. You will be introduced, not as a naval officer, hut as the correspondent of an English newspaper. Of course you must change your uniform" "Yes, sir." "While you are with the Cubans It is particularly desirable that you further the investigations you have made already along the lines of Cuban plots against our troops, but, above all, I should consider your service most valuable If you could work your way Into Santiago and determine by whatever means the plans of the Spanish fleet. "If any information comes to you and you are unable to reach the flagship, I shall expect you to signal from any height within sight of my vessel. I shall have a man detailed, beginning tomorrow, to watch for any signals of the sort from you. Do you quite understand everything I have said?" "Yes, sir." "Very well. If you have time to change your clothing aboard, the Gnat and join our landing party at the Segurahca, we'll take you ashore with us. Otherwise you can go ashore In your dingey and meet us there." Holton saluted, paused a moment as the admiral seemed about to speak, and then as the commander, with hie half-weary air, turned to. a sheaf of correspondence, Holton left the cabin and was soon on his way to the Gnat. Here he changed his white uniform coat for a canvas shooting-jacket, his white trousers for a pair of khaki breeches and leggins, and, throwing his cap into a corner, took In Its place a felt campaign hat of the Marine Corps. Around his waist he strapped a Colt Ailed the belt with bullets, and then went up on deck. He saw the admiral's gig bounding toward the headquarters transport, and was on the point of proceeding to her himself when upon second thought he ordered the seaman at the oars to take him ashore. The tide wss low, and the landing waa made without difficulty in a beautiful bay. Holton took a pipe from his pocket and dismissing the dingey, sat down to wait The time waa not long, for within half an hour the officer saw several four-oarded gigs rounding the stern of the transport and making shore- He Wved Bwfftly. ward. As he arose a low whistle sound* ed In the manlgua behind him, and as though by magic two lines of Cuban soldiers appeared, the officers quite smartly attired, but the men ragged and unkempt All stood rigid as the white longboat, with Admiral Sampson la his spotless duck uniform and Shatter with his garb of blue and gold, approached the shorn. As soon ss the landing was made the officers were placed on animals brought to carry them, and the trip through the manlgua jungle, and Whence up the monataln trail to Garde's camp began. It was a hot, b> neadejaarters of tne Cuban which consisted of a hut of grass. The conference began at once< white the men passed among the visitors-refreshing cups of coconut ml^k* together, with mangoes and pineapples. Decision as to the places moat suitable for landing having been made, the Americans prepared to return to their vessels. Bugles sounded, the' half-starved soldiers lined the trail once more, and the procession started upon its descent. As Admiral Sampson was about to leave he turned to Garcia as though Ktruck by sudden thought and placed his hand on Holton's shoulder. "Mr. Ogilve, of the London Standard, who has been with me, wishes to view a part at least of this campaign from the Cuban standpoint, and I promised him I should speak to you. Can you take him for-awhile?" Garcia regarded Holton with penetrating black eyes and then bowed slightly. "I should be most happy to have him With ue," he smiled. "I am afraid our fare will be most humble and our life without even the little comforts one expect* in war." "Oh. I'm sure Mr. Ogilve will ndt object.? r',? '""•-• ' "Thank you, not at all," Holtonmterjected. He produced a batch of credentials which had been handed him by the admlrel'alafte en hour, or l^;1>ef*rf,,,and gave them tcOetteral Gareli*. - '• The Cuban, however, declines} to examine them, returning than! with an air of winning politeness. That night In,a Cuban camp, with the stars overhead, Holton sat with General Garcia and his officers and listened with quick sympathy while Garcia told of his imprisonment by the Spaniards ten years before, and of the sufferings and cruelties which eventually led him to shoot himself in the head in an effort to end it all. His release and the long fight for the freedom of his country sounded like a romance. And now, after all the discouragements and all the travail he had thia day entertained high officers of a nation greater than Spain, who had come here to assist in the cause so dear to him. "Mr. Ogilve," he Said, "I feel tonight that I have not lived in vain. The end is now near. I have prayed I might some day see this. Now my prayers have been answered." Holton nodded with great sympathy, and thereafter his attitude towards this war underwent a change. Formerly his spirit, like that of many of his brother officers, had been one of aloofness, so far as Cuba was immediately concerned. It was the war Itself, the chances of glory, the prospects for quick promotion, the opportunities for putting into practice that which they had learned, which had carried the great appeal, the cause of Cuba remaining very much in the abstract. Now Holton saw the situation in a different light He could feel intimately that he was engaged in a work for humanity; that he waa to be one of those who were to be concerned in actively bringing into the world a new nation. Then, filled with the heaviness of the climate, he spread his blanket upon a bed of boughs, and lulled by the sighing of the leaves, he closed his eyes and was soon asleep. He must hsve slumbered an hour, when he awoke suddenly. Ordinarily he was a sound sleeper, and he knew that his awakening waa due to some outward cause. He lay for a moment wondering, and then the sound of low voices gave him the cause of his rousing. A glance toward General Garcla's quarters revealed to him the figure of that soldier, gating thoughtfully into a small fire. A second glance showed that the old soldier waa conversing with an officer whom he had not noticed before. Holton wound himself snugly in his blanket and was about to fall asleep when a sentence arrested his mind and brought him wide awake. "X do not ask you, general, what your convictions as to the United States are. I tell you merely what circumstances may arise and ask you what you would do in that event" Garcia shook his head slowly. 1 decline to discuss improbabilities, or rather impossibilities," he answered. T h e United States has acted nobly, and will so continue to act" (TO B« CONTINUED.) ' * m : ggg Breakage.

Lewis formerly lived near Dayton, Ohio, He went to Saskatchewan seven yearB ago with $1,800 in money, a carload of household effects and farm implements, including four horses and three cows. Of course, the first year he only got feed from the cropB, but the second year had 100 acres in wheat which made over 2,800 bushels. He has not had a failure in crop, and at present has 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs, and owns 1,120 acres of land, all under cultivation. He has been offered $35 an acre for his land, and should he care to dispose of his holdings he could pay all his debts and have $30,- 000 to the good; but, as he says, "Where could I go to Invest my money and get as good returns." He continues in his letter to the Immigration department, August 1912: "We have equally as good if not better prospects for crops this year as we had three years ago, when our wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax and run three binders with four men to do the stooking. We certainly like this country and the winters, although the winters are cold at times, but we do not suffer as one would think.

Stanley, the explorer, landed In New Oreans, he was a barefooted boy. He applied at one of the newspaper offices for a job ai errand-boy, according to the Star Monthly. The manager, Impressed by his alertness, engaged him for night duty; then, observing his barefeet said; "Run home and put on ybur1 vhoes and stockings." "I haven't got any," said Stanley. "Well, can't you get aoine?" "I'll try," said the boy. "Come back with shoes and stockings or I c,an't take you," said the manager; and Stanley went out to face a harder problem than was the search for Livingston. After thinking it out, he slipped back into the business office, and buttonholed the day-boy. "Have you got another pair of shoes and stockings?" he asked. "No," said the other. "Well, you go off duty at 6 o'clock don't you? I'll give you fifty cents when I get paid if yu'll lend me your shoes and stockings for a week. I'll leave 'em under the desk every morning for you." I'll do it," said the other boy; _ and so young Stanley made his entry InTandtnat'thechairman b e a l l o w e d t h e J i n t o J o u r n a l i s m .

Not so long ago a well-known canon of Westminster was marrying two of his servants, one of whom was his footman. As had been his custom, whenever he answered a question the footman saluted. The canon whispered to him to dispense with the salute and simply repeat—after him. It was an unfortunate Instruction, for when the question came, ''Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" etc., the footman J was obedient to the very letter and said, "After you, sir."—The Tatler * Remember* In poking fun Don't ever blurt A single word it to burt 4 < • « • \ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The ghastly legend of the Minotaur preying upon the bodies of the tribute youths and maidens in his impenetrable labyrinth has been proved to bare had a solid foundation of historical fact. The Labyrinth has been brought to light, an extraordinary complex of nails, stairways, chambers, cells, and corridors, which thoroughly explains t o w the unfortunates who entered it as -captives came to believe that no .stranger could escape. Strange and terrible must the labyrinthine palace j the of Knossos have appeared to foreign feeh,6hters, and grim and barbarous indeed— though hiding their cruelty beneath a veneer of culture—must the great palace—probably slaves. Rut all as yet await interpretation. Crete has so far yielded no representative of the Rosetta Stone. The stages by which the picturepeople that built and inhabited it have t writing of early Crete developed into eeen, unless all the evidence has been grossly misread and misinterpreted. It Is to be feared that the tribute of youlhe and girls from subject states -was a fact. To Knossos they were "brought, and there, confined in deep, emoothwalled pitlike enclosures, they dragged out their lives until the day •when they were brought forth, unaraaea and defenseless, to face the charge of bulls In the arena. Their one faint hope, as we may see by the frescoed pictures, was to catch the beasts' horns and vault over them. £n nine cases out of ten, as we may ne only too sure, the fate of the haplest «aptlve was to be gored to death t o make a Minoan holiday. I*i many ways, however, Minoan ctvttiaattou was of a very high type. The towns were well planned and well built, with commodious and comfortable houses, provided—wonder of wonders— with a proper drainage system. In art and architecture the achievements of the Minoan* were noteworthy. Most remarkable of all, they possessed a well-developed system of writing, thus exploding the old theories of Greek and pre-Greek illiteracy. So secure they seemed behind the .guard of their ships that they dwelled 1 fearlessly in unfortified cities, not, as the lords of Mycenae and Tiryns,- beaiad gigantic wall-rings. Yet a time came when the erstwhile ever-victorious mavy failed In its task, and a catastrophe occurred whereof some Teeerd lingered long In Hellenic traditioi*^ The foes—were they Achaeans? —ran their galleys ashore on the beaches of Crete, and the end came. 'Imperial Knossos vanished In sack *&tf conflagration; her people were dealt such measure as they had often meted out. But the memories of Mints lingered long, and at last, after the lapse of more than thirty centuries, Sir Arthur Evans wrung from the soil of Crete convincing evidence -of the might of the Minoans if sot, •as yet, of an actual being named IMiaes. Fiom the ruins ef the Minoan cities hare been disinterred thousands of in- «er4eed tablets, very largely, as it -would seem, dealing with administrative and financial matters—like the -vast hoards of clay documents found among the remains of the cities of Mesopotamia. A regular system of numeration has been detected, and It ils thought that certain tablets relate ito chariot wheels, arrows, and other warlike stores. Others appear to be lists of men and women belonging to an elaborate system of hieroglyphs and thence into the linear script, with which the Knossian tablets are for tbe most part covered, are fairly well marked. With a keen and practical people the necessity of simplifying a cumbrous hieroglyphic system for everyday needs would be apparent. Certainly the Minoan script appears to be much simpler than the cuneiform writing of Mesopotamia. Nevertheless, the old system and the new appear to have flourished side by side, and perhaps to some extent in conjunction, until Minoan culture was destroyed or displaced by the new Inhabitants of Crete. Perhaps the most famous of the Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions is that of the "Phaestos disc." The disc is a roughly circular clay plate about *6.67 inches in diameter, covered on both faces with a hieroglyphic inscription which in each case colls round from the center outwards. It is by far the largest hieroglyphic inscription yet discovered in Crete. It contains some 241 signs and 61 sign groups, and it exhibits the remarkable peculiarity that tvery sign has been separately impressed on the clay while in a soft state by a stamp or punch. It is, in fact, a printed inscription. So much appears certain, that the Phaestos disc was not Inscribed by Minoans. The signs differ greatly from those of the Knossian deposits. Four-fifths of them are quite different and the remaining part do not always closely resemble those of Crete. There is no trace in the human figures of the wasp waist we have already learned to seek in the portraitures of the men and women who moved about the palace of Minos. The male figures all seem to have shaven heads. Those of females aro broad, squat, and ugly, very different from the slim Minoan damsels with their dainty "Parisian" dresses. There is a ship unlike those depicted at Knossos and a building astonishingly like the Lycian tombs, whereof specimens are preserved in the British museum. Sir Arthur Evans came to the 'conclusion that the inscription probably had some religious significance. He also thinks that it was the work not of Cretans but of some parallel and closely-allied culture, and suggests that this culture was that of Lycia in southwestern Asia Minor. As to its religious bearing, he considered that it is probably a hymn to a naturegoddess. A sign apparently intended l SOME OF THE HEIROQLYPHS OF THE PHAE8T0S DISC.

Pair tf weaving wttgatt ' to represent a female breast 1B a prominent one, and it is a reasonable inference that it refers to some such deity as Kybetfe, the Great Mother, or the Diana of Ephesus with her multitude of breasts. Such a divinity was worshiped in Minoan Crete and may have been the same as Ephesian Diana. Two attempts have been made to interpret the disc inscription, one by Pofessor Hempl of Stanford university, California, the other by Miss Stawell of Newham college, England. Professor Hempl makes it to be a record of the restoration of plunder to a shrine. Miss Stawell, on the other hand, interprets it as an archaic hymn. Certainly on the face of it this interpretation seems the more probable, and agrees with Sir Arthur Evans' view. The shape of the disc appears to indicate that the inscription Is not an ordinary one, and it may very well have been a written prayer or psalm. Miss Stawell's interpretation Is based on the assumption that the language of the inscription is Greek— necessarily Greek of a primitive type. Having decided the identity of a pictured object she attaches to it its name In Greek, and then takes the first syllable as the sound value. For example, the human head with the curious crown-like covering is taken to signify "man." The Greek words for man are aner and anthropos, and therefrom the sound value is given as an. A face marked on the cheek is interpreted as "branded man/' therefore "criminal." From this the meaning is deduced as kakos (bad) and the sound value as ka, and so on. Of course it [ is evident that independent observers might interpret many of the signs differently. One does not see. for example, why sign 20, an obvious jug, is not to be interpreted as one, instead of, according to Miss Stawell, "mead" (in a jug). To conclude, It would seem that interpreters hitherto have assumed much; and the results of their labors, though highly interesting and creditable to them, are not altogether convincing. They assume that the language of the inscription is Greek, and 4 there is no evidence that the tongue of the Minoan Cretans was Greek at all. So far as can be Been the Minoans were a totally different race from the Greeks, and it seems rather early days to assume" that they spoke their tongue, much less that the goddess of the disc is Athene. Further, it is probable that the Phaestos disc is Anatolian, and not Cretan. Chinese Are Thrifty Farmers. "In the utilization of every square foot of soil and every leaf or root that is grown thereon, the patient, working farmers of China could give points even to the thrifty rural population of France." says the Philadelphia Public Record. "Land is never wasted. There are no such pasture and meadow lands as we know here. If a traveler wants to pitch* a tent anywhere in the settled provinces of China he must drive the stakes in a bean patch or a rice field or amid potato hllla. The native would receive with scornful amassment a suggestion of a public pleasure ground. The only 'parks' art the groves about the tern* pies. T o the topi of the hffls the terraces climb, holding their tiny plots of wheat and corn* sometimes at a house roof angle of 45 degrees. Inhabitants of draay huts and cave dwellers, barely making room for themselves to sloop and cook at the intersections of the vast checkerboard, climb out of their holes and hovels at dawn Uka prairie dogs or rabbits to * warresv and fight the soil till dark for a I gar Imag."

It is a fact that many cases of pimples and eruptions of the skin are caused by bad blood, and the utmost care of the skin will not rid one of these unsigEtly and painful blotches; the only way theae can be gotten rid of is by taking a good blood purifier such as Ny&Ts Spring Sarsaparilia and carrying out the following suggestions: - Begin the treatment by steaming the face at least one-half hour, after which massage with a GOOD face cream, or better, a massage cream; this frees the face cells of all impurities, enabling them to breath more freely as theae cells *re the lungs of the skin and when they become closed by impurities the poUon of the body sets up an irritation an i these pimples or eruptions are the result. This treatment shouto" be continued for about a week. If they do not then disappear you may rest assured ir is a condition of the blood and it fc would be well to consult a doctor. f MEYER'S DRUG STORE §= T h e N y a l S t o r e % Mnckney, Mich.

The present demand for foodstuffs in all parts of the world, and the expense of producing it on hlgferpriced lauds, would make it seem that west* ern Canada came into evidence ai? the4 crucial period. There is to be found the opportunity that will be a |JJ8* factor in meeting this demand. 'With its millions of acres of land, easily cultivatable, highly productive^ accessible to railways, and with unexcelled climatic conditions, the opportunities that are offered and afforded are too great to be overlooked. There have been booms in almost every civilized country and they were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and was burst. But in no country has the development been as great aer as rapid, whether in city or in cetintry, as in western Canada. The provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have She largest area of desirable lands en the North American continent, and their cultivation has just begun. Even with a two hundred mlHloa bushel wheat crop, less them eight per cent, of the land is trader' the ploughs, four per cent, being ta wheat. Less than fire yearB ago the Wheat crop was only 71,000,000 buafcets. It is a simple calculation to ensimAta that if four per cent, of the avartablo cultivatable area produces something over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent; produce? And then lack at the Immigration that is coadag into the country. In 1901 it was 49,*49, 17,000 being from the United States; in 1906 it was 189,064, of which 5?<60O were Americans, and in 1918 it was about 400,000, of which about 140,000 were Americans. But why have they gone to Canada ? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100" to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age upon lands as rich and fertile as those he left, and producing indeed several bushels to the acre In excess of anything he has ever known, it will take mere than an ordinary effort to prevent him from making the change. And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the industrious farmer with which it has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience fs no small matter in the building up of a country. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but tittle has been touched. No country in the world's featory has attracted to its borders a larger number of settlers in so short a time, or has attracted so muoh wealth In a period of equal length, as have the Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished nnder conditions so favorable as those that exist in western Canada today.—Ad* vertisement HAD PROOF OF ASSERTION Mean Spirit.

The dan.ce he was waiting for at length arrived, and Holton sallied forth•,to seek his partner before the opening strains of the waltz -measure had died'away. He found her standing alone near the musicians, and as ht; advanced with a smile of greeting she looked at him with a strange expression. "No, Mr. Holton," she said, "we mustn't; it is best not." "Best not what?" Holton stopped short and regarded her with a look of Amazement. "Best not dance, really," she said. Holton almost glared at her. "And why not, please?" he asked stiffly. The girl stepped impulsively forward and placed her hand on his arm. "Ah, don't," she said. "It is for the •beet, I tell you. Now, please excuse me/' "Don't you care to dance with me?" Holton looked at her curiously. The girl's lip drooped just a bit, *nd with that sign of weakness she was lost, for Holton's strong arm stole about her waist and the next Instant •be was out on the floor with him. "Oh/' she gasped, "why did you?" "Because I wanted to," replied Holton simply. "Oh, I knew you thought 1 was a bad dancer and were trying to wriggle out, but I'll show you I am not at all bad." She had already discovered that fact, and, abandoning herself to the sheer joy of the dance, relaxing slightly in his arms, she suffered herself to be guided about the floor. After the dance Holton led her to a secluded corner and sat down beside her. "That waa great," he exclaimed. "Permit me to say you dance wonder* fully well." "And you, too," she said. "But why—" She interrupted him by tapping him with her fan. "Don't, please!" she pleaded. 1 'Holton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he said. He took her card. 'The next dance is ours," he added. "Why did you come here tonight?" •be asked. "Why—why—because I wanted to dance," he answered. "1 thought," she began slowly, "I thought that perhaps there might be another reason for your coming." Holton started back In bis chair. Surely there was another reason, but this girl had driven that "other reason" completely out of his mind. The thought occurred to him that he was not out out to be a mervelous detect s * ' "What are you smiling at?" she asked. "You live near Santiago?" he asked. She threw a swift glance at him. i "Yes," she answered. "I have never been there, but it must be a wonderful country." "The most beautiful in the world.** -She threw her head back proudly. "Tell me about it," went on Holton. "Ite yen Hve inthe cityr "No, father has an estate In the hills on the way to Cuabltas. Oh, it la wonderful t The beautiful birds, the flowers, the moonlight, the fruits! I am-never nappy save when I there." "You are quite a patriot, Holton with a laugh.

"Mr. Holton," she said, "believe me sincerely when I say to you that I must go now. I promised father I would leave at one o'clock, and you see now that it is after one." Holton got up with a gesture of deprecation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish it, nor did she attempt to draw it way. "If you ever hear anything concerning me—now or In the future, will you withhold judgment until—until you ask me about it and have me explain?" "I promise," replied Holton. There was a faint pressure on his fingers, a bright smile, and the next instant he was standing alone. As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about, Holton was confronted by a thick-set man in evening dress. "A very charming girl, Mr. Holton," observed the stranger. Holton flushed angrily. "And who are you?" he asked bluntly. "My name is Harper," was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way, do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?" "Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh, yes." But Holton suddenly realized how little he did know. "How well do you know Miss La Tossa?" the other asked suddenly. "Oh, a mere acquaintance; recent," answered Holton. "Did you know that that young woman has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?" "Rest of what?" demanded Holton eagerly. "Rest of the spies, of course." Holton thought a moment and then there recurred to him the girl's parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future, will you withhold Judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain?" And he had promised. Well, he would make good his word. He would have her explain. He turned to the Secret Service man beside him. "What you have said is very interesting," he said. "In good time I may have supplementary information." "Don't tell me you didn't know this all the while?" smiled the detective. "I'm telling nothing," and Holton turned away. CHAPTER III. A Broken Promise. While Holton was making up his mind to ask Miss La Tossa several questions, her father began to do that very thing without, apparently, wait* Ing to make up his mind, as soon aB the two were within the little anteroom of their hotel suite. "Carita!" he expostulated. "You did not attend this dance to flirt?" She laughed. "Father, and how could I help it? He was such—such a corker." The senor raised his hands heavenward and looked at his daughter in mock dismay. "Agreed, then, he was a corker. I am glad to know that. It is really valuable information. But now tell me was he such a corker that you forgot to ascertain that for which you attended this ball? Was he in reality Lieutenant Holton?" "Oh, yes, he was." "Well, then, what about the Scorpion?" "Why, I—I did not recall that you—" The candor which was naturally a part of the girl's nature asserted itself, "Father, ho was so fascinating that I forgot all about the Scorpion." "So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his shoulders.. "There was very small doubt that he really was Lieutenant Holton," he wont on. "Several of my man recognised him. But what was really important was why ho loft the torpedo boat, and having dono so, what became of the boat. That was what I really wished to know, and what you easily could hare learned. I am sorry you have failed me." ? "I am sorry I disappointed you, but, father, I hate the Spaniards—I am Cuban born, and I hate thorn because they have boos so cruel" Her eyes flashed. T have disowned Satin," "Mr ozonator I" oioisimed the fattor siiarnty. ^. "l onnaot bolp it, tabs*. Have ws net soon wosaoa ttarvtac with their babies at their dry breasts? Have we not seen men fighting for the bones we have thrown from our baskets? Have we not eeen murder after murder in cold blood?" "That i-> why I have been aiming to obtain the governorship," said the father, "and how are you helping me? Not by such language. That Is what you have to consider." Another thing, my daughter, I have heard that you are becoming too closely affiliated with certain groups of Cuban plotters— you know who I mean. I forbid that absolutely." The girl blazed at him with dilated eyes. "You have heard what?"-she asked. "I have heard enough to make it seem my duty to have you sent back to Santiago—to the estate. You are a girl—you are young, and I am sorry to .have to say that you are also a trifle foolteh. You will therefore sail on the Ward liner Saturday with your aunt." "Very well, father; it shall be as you wish. There will be war, you think?" "There is no doubt as to that. The drift of this government is easily read." "And then—" "Cuba will never be taken. We shall plan no war of aggression. We shall wait to be taken—but that never shall come to pass." "You say that!" The girl regarded him closely. "The United States is a great nation." "Yes, but not a warlike one. Our soldiers uphold the traditions of the Cld; the blood of war flows in their veins. It is inconceivable that the arms of a nation so rich in military history, so filled with annals of achievement and of conquest both on land and sea, should succumb to a nation whose shrines are dollar-marks and whose gods are profit and loss. Remember, until my return to Santiago, you are to remain at the estate." He paused and took a paper from his pocket. "And between now and Saturday," he added, adjusting his glasses, "you will avoid Senores Perez. Pedrajas, Montez, Cassajara, and Castro." The daughter cast a swift glance at her father, and then let her eyeB fall to the floor. "You see," he continued, "I am tolerably familiar with what has been going on. My position here, Ranee, is one of dignity. I am not a spy, I am not a diplomatic emissary. When "Father, I Hats the Spaniards." relations of diplomacy are broken I shall have no further business hero. But you—you are different You have been played upon by a group of seat ots whoso cause is not only against the country of my birth, but also against the United States. Than ho kissed nor good night and went into his room to enjoy, a muchneeded rest For some time she sat tn her apart ment, thinking; finally she sat down and wrote the following letter: "Father Dear: "Forgive me, hut I cannot keep that promise. I cannot. Before you awake I shall have gone to Key West, perhaps. From, there I shall go to Son* t&sjpo as you wished, whero, if you havo not disowned mo I shall await you at our home." Sho, smiled as she wrote tfcftn, know* lac that however angry how father might be, love for her, his spoiled darling, would utterly prevail. "In the meantime you will receive daily messages from me, telling you I am well. Adios. "Your loving RANEE." Enclosing fhe note in an envelope, she addressed it, placed it on a desk in the anteroom, put on a coat, concealed her face with a heavy veil, and went out of the hotel. Early next morning Holton set out for his audience with the assistant secretary. "Well, what did you learn?" was the smiling greeting he received from his superior. Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as Holton told his story, but when he had concluded he leaned forward. "Well, how do you like detective work?" "I fear I am not a detective, Mr. Secretary. I think I have demonstrated that." "Ahem, I don't know, Mr. Holton. I tell you, it was more or less of a whim of mine, sending you to the ball. I had hoped you might meet a Miss La Tos€a. In fact I had requested a Secret Service man to bring you two together." Holton started. "Oh," he said, "I did meet her." Holton proceeded to recount his experiences with the girl, beginning with the incident of th« waiter and the gold-mesh bag and ending with his dance and his Interview with the detective. "Well,'' responded Mr. Roosevelt, "you have done exactly as I might have wished you to do, and, having done this, It is my desire that you cultivate her acquaintance assiduously and report to me whenever you learn anything that may appear valuable." He noticed the blank face of the officer. "What is the matter?" he asked. "But, Mr. Secretary, I cannot spy upon her—she is my friend. Why," he cried warmly, "she's the finest girl you ever met!" "Why, my dear Holton, cannot you see? She was spying upon you." "I cannot see how she was doing that," protested Holton. "She made no attempt—" "Well, see here, Mr. Holton, you have established your acquaintance. Now, then, I ask you this: If you discover in the course of your friendship with her that she is working to injure our country, will you take steps to prevent her doing so and to ajpprise me as to the facts?" "I am under oath to the United States, sir." "Well, then, that Is all I ask. You are ordered hereby to pursue your acquaintance with this young woman to that end." "Yes, sir," replied Holton. "I suppose then that I shall remain in Washington some time." "No, Mr. Holton, you'll not be in Washington long. Miss La Tossa left for Tampa this morning." Holton started to his feet. "And I'm to follow her?" "Yes, at once, please. You had better arrange about transportation and the like immediately." "Thank you, sir." Holton did not hear the laughter that followed his outburst of gratitude, or at least he paid no attention to it For the one thought that filled his mind was that he was going to some heavenly place where his dance part* ner of the night before was to be.

The "Marseillaise" is the only production of Rouget de Lisle which has survived, and "The Wearing of the Green" was the work of an anonymous purveyor of ballads for the street hawkers of Dublin, M M Bchneckon* burger, an obscure Swabian merchant who never published anything also, composed in 1840 some verses of which the burden was thus translated: F"Diremar s tFaantdh etrhlyan sdo,n sn oto d wanagtcehr tthhien eR. hine."

One hundred years ago Napoleon met the army of the allies at Brlenne, a village in northeastern Franco, and was victorious after a keenly-contested battle. The emperor had left Paris ouly two days before, prepared to make a last desperate effort to halt the advance of the enemy on the French capital and thereby save his tottering throne. The allied Hssolan and Prussian armies were in command of Marshal Blucher. Napoleon's torses were in a deplorable condition. At Brlenne, it is true, his old sokfters displayed prodigies of courage, In his name and under his orders, but the raw conscripts were discontented and many of them deserted <• their colors. Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to the fact that he came up to Bmeher when the latter was separated from a part of his forces. Prince Schwartzenberg, in command of the Austrian forces, Immediately set out for the purpose of supporting the Priismtena, and the combined armies of the allies recommenced their advance 0* Paris.

A Rowdy Bunch A crowd of _ rowdies from A n n Arbor recently came down to Chilson o n a fishing expedition. While plying the hook and line they also imbibed too freely of "Oh be joyful" and by the time they were ready to return t o their homes they were r At her "under the weather."

A few years ago some members of the Austrian Speleological society discovered in the Dachsteln mountains some caverns which are among the largest in Europe. One of these grottoes, the longitudinal axis of which is fully 6,500 feet long, moreover turned out to offer additional interest by its truly enormous ice masses and was found to be the largest known Icecnve in the world Though a scorching sun may be burning outside on the bare mountain rock, there is always an icy wind blowing through this underworld, freezing everything within Its reecte Only sometimes, when the outside temperature ranges between 82 and 41 degrees-CX and a comparatively warm rain penetrates through the fis sores of the rock, entering right into the cavern, will there be a temporary calm and distinct meltmg of the ice. The Dachsteln ice cave comprise* several domes filled with ice, which communicate.with one another throuph a number of frozen galleries. An ice crevice 89 feet deep and 116 feet In width traverses the floor of the cavern 165 feet from the entrance. Gigantic Ice pillars were found to tower on both edges of this chasm, in the depth of which there unfolds a fairy-llke ice scenery. Beyond the abyss the cavern * widens out into a mighty dome fTM* tan dome, as it is called), where o plain ice sheet reaches from ode wall to tbe other, carrying Ice stalagmite* of the most fantastic shapes.—Scien tlfic American.

We say/'one night last week", a$ the council are iu the habit of lUeeting in the rear of some store, op the street and some months npt at all. Heretofore, meetings were held in the town hall the drst Monday of every month, but )f late, a search warrant would iiave to be issued in order to rind their place of meeting. After deliberating over the lighting question for several weeks the council at last presented th* following proposition to the company which was* readily accepted. That the lights be turned ou 18 nights a month from sun-set until 11:30 standard time; the lamps to be 60 candle power and the company to furnifih the lamps, 45 in aumber; the rate to be $15.00 a light per mouth, lines, etc., to be i&ept in good conditions and the contract to be for a period of one yepr only. *We consider the contract a good one and the company with their new power plant is in excellent condition to furnish the best of service of which we have had a good sample during the past several mouths.

The uiau who conducts his business ou the theory that it doesu't pay and he can't afford to advertise, sets up bis judgment in opposition to that of all the best business men in the world. Says an experienced advertising agency: "With a few years' experience in conducting a small business on a few thousands of capital he assumes to know more than thousands whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a year, aud who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says doesu't pay." If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants of every town, large or small, are the heaviest advertisers? If advertising doesn't pay who does the most business? If it does not pay, business firms in the world spend millions in that way. Is it because they want to donate those millions to the newspaper and magazine publishers or because they don't know as much as much about business as the six-for a-dollar merchant who says money spent in advertising is thrown away or donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such talk is simply ridiculous and it requires more than the average patience to discuss the proposition of whether advertising pays or not with that kind of a man. His complacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the whole world i» laughable and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn't revolve by placing a pumpkin on a ntump and watching it all night.--Oxford Leader.

Here is one w a y : take the can of a lowpriced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label. The law requires that it the powder contains alum, that fact must be there stated. K you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sulphate of aluminum, you have found an alum baling powder.

A Manitoba Steer Carries Off Similar Honors to Those Won by a Half- Brother in 1912. "When CWeneamock 1., the Aberdeen- Angus steer, owned' by Mr. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, carried, off the sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock Shov in 1912, it was considered to be a great victory for barley, outs and graBB versus corn, So that there might be no doubt of the superiority of barley feeding, Manitoba climate. and judgment in selecting the animal, Mr. McGregor placed in competition in 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a half-brother to the animal that won last year, and secured a second victory in the second year. In other classes he had excellent winnings, but the big victory was the sweepstakes for the best steer. This victory proved that Manitoba-grown barley and oats, and prairie hay, had properties better than any contained in corn, which in the pa^t has been looked upon as being superior to oilier grains in fattening i'!:d linishing qualities. Not only this, bit Giencarnock's victory proves that, the climate oi the prairie provinces of western Canada, in combination with- rich foods that are possessed by that country, tends to make cattle raising a success at little cost. Other winning* at the live stock Bhow which placed western Canada in the class of big victories were: Three firsts, seven seconds, and five other prizes in Clydesdales. The winners, Bryce, Taber, Sutherland, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, llaggerty, Leckie and the University of Saskatchewan are like family names in Saskatchewan. Each one had "the goods" that won honor to himself and combined made a name and record for Saskatchewan. Look at the recent victories won by •western Canada within the past three years, In February, 1911. Hill & Sons of Lloydmiu8ter, Saskatchewan, showed a peck of oats at the National Corn Exposition, held a t Columbus, Ohio, and carried off the Colorado silver trophy, valued at $1,500. In February, 1911¾. the same men, father and son, had a similar victory at Columbia, N. C, and,should they win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they will own the trophy. In 1911, Seager Wheeler of Rosthern won $1,000 in gold at the New York Land Show for the best 100 pounds of •wheat. In 1912 at the Dry Farming Congress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr. Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500 Rumley engine for best wheat in the •world. In 1913, at the Dry Farming Congress, held at Tulsa, Okla., Mr. P. Gerlack of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried oft the honors and a threshing machine for the best bushel of wheat shown in competition with the world. In 1913 at the International Dry Fanning Congress at Tulsa, Okla., Canada won the majority of the world's honors in individual classes, and seven out of the sixteen sweepstakes, including the grand prize for the beet bushel of hard wheat. The grand prize, a threshing machine, was won by Paul Gerlack for !best bushel of hard whe&L-_vhich •welched 71 pounds to the bushel, and Wan of the Marquis variety. In the district in which the wheat •was grown that won this prize, there •were thousands of acres this year that Would have done as well.

Inniskeen, County Louth, Ireland.-— In America we are trying in a more or less cgnscious effort to make the schoolhouse the educational and social center and the school master a community leader. In Ireland without any set purpose this result is already secured. At Inniskeen, in county Louth, for example, John Quinu, the school master, is the big man. By virtue of his- natural qualities and by reason of his secretarial position in the co-operative association he is the farmers' banker, their business manager and adviser, their agricultural expert, and a temperance reformer. In fact he is the community leader. His schoolhouse is a social center for to it the people go for co-operative association meetings, for temperance lectures, and for public gatherings of all sorts. We have been to County Donegal and have seen what the co-operative enterprises centered at Dunglow have done for a region which is naturally unproductive. Under-the leadership of Paddy Gallagher, a native business genius, co-operation has brought comfort, relative prosperity and hopefulness to a community which was previously a desolate combination of peet bog and rocky hilleide. We have stopped here to see the results of co-operation when planted in a more fertile productive soil, for this portion of County Louth would compare favorably with the richest stretches of our own middle western states. The Average Irish Farmer, Anxious to find the average small farmer who is a member of the co-operative society and willing to talk about its affairs, we were directed to Edward Meeghan, who operated a farm out two Irish miles from the village. Ae we walked out to Meeghan's place the consciousness was forced upon UB that in this section Ireland Is far from being "starving Ireland." The fields are carefully cultivated—cultivated as they seldom are in the states. The hedges and walls are well kept. The heavy crops indicate a high degree of fertility. Each'cottage gives evidence of prosperity and self-respecting pride. Upon the faces of those whom we meet we see nothing to indicate that the local Irish are poverty Btricken or despairing. We find Meeghan on a 40-acre farm of which he is evidently and justly proud. The fertile fields, the stacks of rich grain, the high grade live stock, all demonstrate that it ie possible to make money hereabouts and that there is a promising future in the local agricultural situation. Buying Farms for Less Than Rent. Meeghan himself, a vigorous fellow, full of enthusiasm and hopefulness, explains that his father prior to his death had bought the land under the imperial land tenure^ctjprovidlng for an arbitrated value as between landlord and tenant The value once fixed the government paye for the land, and then permits the tenant who becomes a purchaser to repay the purchase price in sixty odd years, each year keeping up the Interest at two and threefourths per cent and paying in addition a small installment upon the principal. He tells how his father paid, as rent alone, 18 pounds per year, while he himself in buying the farm Is now paying, including both Interest and annual Installments on principal only 14 pounds per year. Quite naturally he has a keen appreciation of the land tenure laws which enabled him gradually to obtain the farm by the payment of less money each year than originally went for rent alone. Prevents*! Improvements. This is not to him the important thing, however. His father had previously been a tenant A new thatch on the barn, a new slate on the root or a new shed for the cow, could not be obtained in any way from the landlord. It must be contributed by the tenant who knew that 'within thirty days thereafter he might be put off the place. The natural result was to prevent all repairs and all permanent Improvements. Jn this entire region we have not been able to discover a single fruit tree that had been planted prior to the acquisition of the land by the tenant purchasers. In fact there are no mature fruit trees here. Where we have seen 4 new Urm building or any permanent repairs on old buildings or any other farm improvement inquiry Invariably has revealed that it had been added einoe the farm went into the hands of a purcasing tenant la other words, Meeghan and other tenant purchasers fee* now that in making repairs or Improvements they are working, for themselves, adding value to their own property, where formerly any improvements made were for the benefit of the laudlord for whom they had no particular liking. Farmer's Views on Co-Operation. We asked him what he thought of the co-operative society and what use he had made of it. "Before the co-operative society was organized," he said, "it was difficult to procure* fertilizers. While the department of agriculture analyzed the • soils and taught the farmers, £>y bulletin and otherwise, the elements which must enter into fertilizers it was absolutely impossible for the tenant to procure of the dealers fertilizer containing these elements in proper proportion Fertilizers were high too." Now, as he explained, the co-operative societies buy the elements going into the fertilizers and themselves mix them in the proper proportions. The co-operative association not only guarantees the quality of the fertilizers furnished to their members, but sells them at a greatly reduced price. That they are better than the manures purchased of the regular traders is evidenced by the actual effects upon the crope. Co-Operatlve Credit, It was evident that in Meeghan's estimation the greatest benefit to the members of the local organization is from the credit society branch of it. The farmers in this vicinity had been well taught and were anxious to improve their stock to get better implements, to use commercial fertilizers properly compounded, to plant better seeds. Before the co-operative credit association was organized they were unable to do anything of this sort. Since the co-operative organization has been in operation, however, it is easy to get from the society a small loan for any of these purposes and the farmers were In consequence steadily improving their property. In other words he seemed to think that the improvements in rural agricultural methods which we see everywhere would have been absolutely Impossible without this little local credit society. Meeghan himself through loans secured of the co-operative credit society had been enabled to purchase blooded slock and had bought improved implements and tested seeds. We found upon our return to the village that school was just closing and Quinn went with us to his home, which although modest, was as trim and comfortable as any village home which w% have ever been privileged to visit in America. He talked freely of the affairs of the' society, showed us the books and records and explained the methods and practices employed in the co-operative conduct of the business. A Simple Organization. The co-operative society has no headquarters and consequently has no rent lo_ pay. The home of iha-secretary is the office of the society. There the banking business as well as the other affairs of the society are conducted by him out of school hours. The little society has 500 members, each member having one share upon which he has advanced about Blxty cents. The credit society, a branch of the cooperative^ aesoclatlon, has 161 members. ".The society meets," he said, "four times each year. At those times the members give us orders for these goods which we handle cooperatively, Including seeds, manures. Implements and occasionally other articles. We go over the old accounts and arrange for their payment or extension. ' We talk over the plans of the society. We consult about local farm problems, about seeds, manures and rotation of crops, exchanging ideas as to methods of meeting various questions that arise. There is no co-oporatlve store here and we never keep articles in stock. We order seeds, manures or implements and notify^ the fanner when they arrive. He takes care of them generally within twsnty-four hours. We can do this because most of our members ere near by. We get everything a little cheaper and of better quality than do the regular traders. In nothing, however, has the Improvement in quality been mo marked as in seede and manures. How a Farmers' Bank Loans Money. "Our organisation loans money to' its members at 5½ per cent. To depositors we give three per cent on all deposits. We thus do business upon a margin 'of 2½ per c e n t On the other hand the Joint stock bank nearest here charges 6¼ per cent interest but pays only 2¼ per c e n t Interest on deposits. They require a margtn of tour per cent, on which to do bustneee. Not only have the joint stock banks e wider margin on the loans, but the worst of it is you cannot get a loan from a joint stock bank for more than three months. They never loan for longer than that time although sometimes, of couree, they will grant renewals. The trouble is that these renewals are hard on the farmer. These banks are only in the larger places ; Very often the farmer has to go some distance, take his sureties with him, pay their expenses, give them their dinner, and I am afraid sometimes treat them to liquid refreshments. If we have a man who wants money and he lives near by we simply ask him to bring in two good men as sureties, and j if they are all right and the man is honest and a good worker and his neighbors speak well of him there is no difficulty and very little formality in getting the loan. In addition to our deposits wo have- arranged for an overdraft from the Bank of Ireland at Dundalk. They co-operate with us in a friendly manner and help us much. "There has been a wonderful improvement in this community since the land tenure laws went into effect and the tenants are getting to be owners. It is a wonderful thing. People who were slovenly and whose premises were absolutely unfit to live in have now purchased their premises and are improving them and are living under much better conditions. They used to be afraid their rent would be raised if they fixed things up. The old age pension has helped many of the old people, for there are many pensioners in this vicinity." How t i t t l e It Costs. The books of the company show that the only expenses incurred are the compensation of the school teacher as secretary and manager, $60 per year; registration fees of $8 per year; and in addition postage and stationery to the amount of two or three dollars. The total of these items is only about $70, this being the only expense incurred for an entire year. The demand for small rural credit associations in Ireland Is very g r e a t The joint stock banks are not so well scattered throughout the rural section in Ireland as they are in some parts of the United States. Often the expense of traveling to the bank and the paying of the expenses of the sureties, as Quinn explained, is considerable. It is said that these expenses In addition to interest, make a small farm loan cost 20 to 40 per cent. If a young farmer is buying young stock, pigs, for example, it is far beyond the period of three months before they will be ready for sale. If he buys fertilizers he can expect no results for six to ten months. Returns upon good seede are equally slow in coming in and on the money placed in the new implements and equipment he gets returns still more slowly. For these mem a three months' loan is of little use. The inelastic city system of loans, doee not really help the borrower, but in a sense cripples him. It is only fair to state, however, that the large banks, although their methods are unsuited to the farmer, are on the whole honest and Just in their charges, and practices. The difRcu|ty Is that their methods of business make it absolutely impossible for the farmer to deal with them profitably. ""—-, How Character Counts. But here in Inniskeen and wherever in Ireland a co-operative credit society has been formed, any farmer, be he tenant or landlord, with a good reputation for honesty and Industry, can by furnishing two sureties from among his neighbors get any reasonable amount as a loan for one year. To do this involves almost no delay or trouble or expense. The bank is near by^ Cooperative farmers are neighborly citizens, ready to help one another out, so that sureties are easily secured. The interest is at a low rate. The borrower can rest assured that he will not be unduly crowded ae to repayment if misfortune should overtake him, for those with whom he deals understand fully his circumstances. In fact the committee which decides his fate is composed of farmers like himself who know what hard luck is, who have likely themselves been borrowers, who are friendly to him and will give him a chance. This is the form of credit loans most common in Ireland. Such a co-operative credit bank could be organised to' advantage, in many American communities particularly in those states where there are no banks in the smaller cities and villages. They will inevitably be organized in such communities unless bankers cease trying to force down the throats of the farmers the inelastic, unsuitable city methods of doing business. The question is, are the bankers going to crowd the farmers into these co-operative credit enterprises ? The banks must grant longer-time and more liberal and elastio terms on per* sonal loans. They must arrange for mortgages which run over longer periods of time and which are to be repaid in moderate installments as the slow farm profits come in. Oo-operative credit may not be necessary. It is up to the banker. (Ceprrtght, 1»14. Western Newspaper ttai«a.K — t w o — t m m * m m The diamond, output of German South Africa Is being - regulated to maintain prices.

FOR PROPER SWEEPING MATTER T H A T IS OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE. Practical Flan Should Be Devised and Lived Up To, and the Result Will Be Found Eminently Satisfactory. There is an art in sweeping a room, and it requires brains as well ad hands. Some housekeepers sweep dust into hall, or from one room into another, and then wonder why their house is so soon dusty again. First, dust all furniture that can be removed and set it in the hall. Clear the room of all loose articles and open the windows to give a free circulation of air. Dust that goes up must come down, and it will settle on one's hair and clothing as well as on the furniture. Rugs retain more dust than any other household articles, and children contract diseases by playing upon dusty rugs. Notice whether you are UBlMg the best method in sweeping. Never sweep toward door or corner, but from the edges toward the center with short, quick strokes, bearing down on the broom and lifting it back instead of dragging. Do not push stuff along with the broom, for this will break off splints, and a broom will not sweep clean with uneven splints. The majority of women always sweep with the same side of the broom to the front. This makes the broom lopsided, so that ft cannot be used in any other way, and the points of the splints get bent all one way, and they get together at the ends and cannot take hold of the dust as they should. The correct way to use a broom is to hold the handle vertically, so that all the splints in the face of the broom will take hold at the same time. Every day the broom should be turned around so as to sweep with a different side. In this way the broom wears evenly. To preserve brooms, dip them for three minutes in a pail of boiling soapsudes once a week, and occasionally in salt water to make them tough and pliable. A good broom holder may be made of two spools nailed to the wall about two Inches apart. The broom can be easily hung upside down between the spools. Ideas of* dusting are many and varied. Some dust only what is in sight, others what might be seen, and a few dust everywhere. As ordinarily performed dusting simply whisks the lint from one place to another. To begin right, draw the shades to the top of the window, and with stepladder and cloth, or long-handled brush, dust walls, cornices, pictures and cords, and wipe the carpet or rug breadth by breadth with a cloth wrung from water with a little ammonia or salt in i t Dustless dust cloths can easily be made at home by soaking squares of old flannel In paraffin or floor oil overnight, and wringing them out tightly. If they are washed in lukewarm water they will last indefinitely without resoaking. They will gather up every particle of dust, and leave a nice polish on furniture and floors. The unbeaten white of an egg stirred into cold water cleans polished surfaces well. Work in small sections, dry quickly and rub until bright Cloths must be soft and clean. Woodwork that has been stained only should be cleaned with a cloth slightly oiled and dusted with a dry cloth. White spots made by water or heat on varnished furniture are removed by rubbing with spirits of camphor. The very best duster for the highly polished wood of pianos, etc., is a good chamois skin dipped in clear water and wrung very dry so that it feels merely damp. A little ammonia in the water helps to remove finger marks. Bare floors are cleaned like any other woodwork. Waxed floors should be washed before rewaxing, but rarely at other times.

"It was a case of mistaken kindness," said Judge Stephen McK. Harris, in an address in Denver. "The man thought he wad protecting a counterfeiter, but, as a :natter of fact, he was proving that he had once been a counterfeiter himself. "It reminds me of the young lady sociologist who went to see a white slave play in New York. She was separated from her companion, another young lady sociologist, by two rows, and, thinking that the man next her was alone, she decided to ask him to change seats with her friend, so that they would not be separated. "With a sweet, demure smile, therefore, she laid her little hand lightly on the man's arm and said: " 'I beg your pardon, but you are alone, are you not?' "The man, a stout, red-faced chap, put his hand up to his mustache and whispered out of the corner of his mouth: " 'Cheese it, kiddo; the wife's neat me here.'" ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY Roxbury, Ohio.—"When my little boy was two weeks old he began breaking out on his cheeks. The eczema begap just with pimples and they seemed to itch BO badly he would scratch his face and causae a matter to run. Wherever that matter would touch it would cause another pimple until it spread all over his body. It caused disfigurement while it lasted. He had fifteen places on one arm and his head had several. The deepest places on his cheeks were as large as a silver dollar on each side. He was BO restless at night we bad to put mittens on him to keep him from scratching them with his finger nails. If he got a little too warm at night it seemed to hurt badly. "We tried a treatment and he didn't get any better. He had the eeeema about three weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed him at night with the Cuticura Soap and spread the Cuticura Ointment on and the eczema - left." (Signed) Mrs. John White, Mar. 19, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Geological surveys of parts of th© Spitebergen show that there are immense deposits of superior coal in various places, and interested individuals and companies alike are planning to tap those resources and bring them upon the highway of international trade. Not many yeurs ago Spitzbergen was an unknown land, and for many years it was a resort only for whalers, shoremen and bandits. Various scientific expeditions have returned from time to time with valuable and interesting information. It is now apparent that in spite ef theice, cold and fog, Spitzbergen is a land fraught with many commercial possibilities. The coal is practically all on the surface, and deep mining is unnecessary. Prosperity Communistic. — A man cannot prosper in any honest business without benefiting the community as well as himself. For hecannot induce men to deal with him without offering them an advantage; and, taking all the transactions of lifetogether, the advantages which n e a offer to others must, on the whole, be equal to those which they receive* themselves. Doing business, therefore, is a very effectual and extended mode ef doing good; and the fortune which is acquired in doing it Is, in a very important sense, the measure and index ef the good done.—Jacob Abbott.

Holton's requisitions were promptly attended to. and by the time he had completed his packing at the club his tickets for the Florida Special had arrived. He lunched with Billy Holt of the ordnance department, and then took a hack to the station, where he found the train made up. He had several magazines in his hands, and settled down to read with his feet luxuriously resting on the other seat of his section. It was not many minutes, however, before he yawned broadly, and five minutes thereafter his. magazine had tumbled from hia hand and he was fast, asleep. As he fell into slumber two men approached the porter, and, throwing open their coats, displayed Secret Service shields. While their English was perfect, they were surely of the Latin race. "Ya-as, suh—all right, genTmen." Trie porter was very much impressed. "Ya-as, suh, go right along." "As they approached Holton'e section one of them stopped. "Well, here he is," he remarked. "YeB, and asleep, too. He's bound for Tampa for a surety." "Yes; but, now that he kindly sleeps, we might as well go farther." He bent down and carefully drew Holton's bag out Into the aisle. "Quick," he Bald, looking up, "the keys." H'is companion drew fronf his pocket a large bunch of keys, and the man tried several without e x c e s s Finally, becoming impatient, he drew the bag to the seat behind Holton, aud, drawing his knife, cut a long hole near the top. Then, inserting his hand and arm, he fished about for several minutes, but without feeling anything other than wearing apparel and toilet articles. Finally he straightened up and pushed the bag into the place whence it had^ been withdrawn with the frowning remark: "Well, we'll have to let him go; we've done our part." The two men spent some time i s the station, framing a telegram in cipher, which, when completed, was sent to Tampa, Then they disappeared. Holton In the meantime slept, and -was still asleep when the train moved out Awakened by a sudden turn of the cars, he started bolt upright and looked about him with only a vague idea as to where he was. When he came to a realizing sense of his situation he looked at his watch, and then tried to resume his nap. But this time he did not fall asleep, and so, •after fidgeting about for half an hour, lie decided to go into the smoker. He had some very excellent cigars 1a bis grip, and, pulling out the bag, he leaned down to unlock it, when he •aw the long hole which had been cut in the shining pigskin. He regarded the damage for a seox> nd with rising anger, and then unlocked the valise and searched it thoroughly to see what had been stolen. For his only idea was that some sneak thieves had taken advantage of his •lumber. But, finding everything intact, he was obliged to east about for another explanation. It WM then that the thought of spies ooeurred to him. Thus thinking, he rose from his seat «nd looked searchingly over the occupants of his ear. Almost the first person his eyes 'lighted upon was a girl in the section diagonally opposite him. One glance at her profile was sufficient to send HoHoff stumbling and gasping back Into his seat' The girl was Miss La Tossa, He thought for a moment Oh, to %e sure, he had risen to find out who had maltreated bis bag. Then—* Oood HeavensPxHolton's hands flew to his t*«e4 aft** sh# most approved ( A STORY OF THE^t V ^ FREEING OF CUBA* V, Lawrence Perry / r .. • - - ^, . —• IHu»rratlon» iry f Aj&vrrexiGe retry r EiiKwortHYountf Airtoorcf * JWMw r r ( h e % * r ^ ^ i)' rs^( ' manner of tragedy, and for a moment he tried to dismiss the surging thoughts from his mind. But no, the facts were large and luminous and not to be denied, and these facts were as follows: He had gone asleep in the car, his bag had been cut open and rifled. Now, then, Miss La Tossa had been designated by fnen who, should know whereof they spoke as a epy. Miss La Tossa was the only other person in the car—he paused. He just would not think it, that was all. So, picking up a magazine, he settled back in his seat and tried to lose himself in a serial story. For a while he kept his mind fairly well upon the tale, but eventually he found his thoughts straying to the girl In front of him. Eventually he flung the magazine aside and shifted about uneasily. After all, was he playing the game as he should? Silent contempt was all right if it were only noticed. But silent contempt when the person against whom it is directed does not feel it, is hardly a satisfactory course to pursue. With this thought, Holton arose from his seat and, with a self-conscious smile, bustled up to Miss La Tossa as though he had juBt discovered her presence. "Why, of all things!" he exclaimed. "How do you do, Miss La Tossa!" Her book fell to the floor and she looked up. "Mr. Holton!" she cried. "The very same," laughed Holton, "and may I ask what strange circumstances have brought us together again?" "I was just going to ask you that." Holton looked at her curiously, hardly knowing what reply to make, after such a check. "Where are you going?" he Inquired at length. "To Tampa and thence to my home," she responded. "Oh!" Holton shifted doubtfully. "I'm going to Tampa, too." "Really." "I trust if I can be of any service you will avail yourself of my presence, Miss La Tossa," he added somewhat formally. "Thank you. Won't you sit down? That's one service you can perform— talk to me; I'm dreadfully bored." Holton seated himself obediently. "Beastly raw and windy, wasn't it, today?" "Yea." Then she laughed at him unaffectedly. "What are you laughing at?" "At your brilliancy. Oh, you are masterly! And yet," she added, "they told me you were so clever." "I cannot help what people say," he began, and then, impatient at his obvious disadvantage, he changed the subject "I had the most curious thing happen to me on this train," he went on. "Now," she laughed, "you promise to be really entertaining. What was it? Do tell me!" "I boarded the car," said Holton, "and fell asleep—" She giggled, and he raised his hand impatiently. "I fell sleep, and while I slept some rascal cut a hole in my bag and rummaged through the contents." He glanced at her sharply. But her face revealed nothing except polite concern. "Indeed!" Bhe remarked. "Nothing was stolen," continued the officer, "and I cannot imagine why the thing was done." "I think, perhaps, I can tell you," she said calmly. "Ton were attached to the Scorpion. She had been testing out some new torpedo. You came to Washington on the eve of war, and now you hurry away again to Tampa. Certain persons were desirous to know whether your departure concerned the Scorpion, and your bag was searched for orders or other writings that might throw light upon the subject." "Ton are frank." Holton looked at her admiringly. "But how do you happen to know all this?" "Because I'm a spy." Holton's face assumed the color of a perfectly ripened tomato. "You—you—" Her hearty laughter brought him to a pause. "How astonished yon seem to be!" She regarded him humorously. "Why," she added, "I really believe he thinks now I out open his bag." Holton brought himself np with a Jerk. "Miss La Tossa," he said, "1 bow to you. You can deprive a man of speech about as handily as any person I ever knew. Of course, you're not a spy!" "Do you really believe that?" Her eyes were serious now. "Do you?" "Yes," he returned desperately. "Then, Mr. Holton, I beg to inform you that I am a spy." Holton received the girl's announcement with bowed head, and as he didn't speak she looked at him with defiant eyes. "I am a Cuban. I am not a professional spy, as you may imagine. I fear I am not a spy at all in the high sense of the term. But I have tried to serve my country; 1 shall continue to do so. My country is in peril. I could be, I was born to be, I fear, a pleasure-loving butterfly. But I have found that there are ways in which my country has need even of poor me." "Yes, but we need not be enemies." Holton's voice was very earnest. She did not reply, and Holton added: "I applaud your motives, but surely you do not imagine Cuba to be in danger at the hands of the United States. I should think Spain would be your object, and if the United States. I ask you why?" Still, she did not answer, and Holton, shrugging his shoulders, impatiently repeated his question. "Why?" "Do you know, Mr. Holton," she said after a moment's pause, "that every mile southward this train flies increases my happiness. It is so pleasant to feel you are nearing home." "You have not answered my question, Miss La Tossa." "And I do not intend to answer it." Indignation was coloring the naval officer's mood. "Look here, Miss La Tossa, I like you. If the honest admiration of a man is anything to you, you can make the most of that statement. And so I ask you with the friendliest motives —why should you think it necessary to pry into the affairs of the United States?" "I am an enemy to any enemy of my country, and by enemy I mean any He Cut a Long Hols. person or group of persons whose good-will toward us may be Questioned." Then you infer that the United States is not noting in a war to show good-will to Cuba!" Holton was thoroughly outraged. "Well, I'll be hanged if that isn't gratitude!" "If you don't mind, Mr. Holton," she said sweetly, "I should like to read now." Holton hustled out of the seat in a great huff. "Oh, certainly, by all means; most assuredly," he burst out, and returned to his seat As he sat there thinking, the train stopped at a small station to change engines. When it started again the conductor came into the smoker calling Holton's name. He responded, and the conductor gave him s long, official appearing dispatch. The message ran at follows: "Holton: "Congress declared war today. Sampson wl 1' be ordered to blockade the Cuban coast. Troops will mobilize at Port Tampa. They will proceed thence in transports to Cuba. You will remain in Tarnpa, availing yourself of the Gnat [a small torpedo boat, built for a battleship to carry] to prevent any attempt to destroy transports. You will watch Cuban camp at Tampa for developments regarding matters already brought to your attention arid will hold yourself in readiness to laud secretly on Cuban soil to perforin intelligence work with regard to location and movements of Spanish warships. You will work under direct orders of the Secretary [Long]. ROOSKVELT." "Whew!" Holton sat back In his seat. So war had "come. What would happen now? So far as he was concerned, Holton was likely to be well in the forefront. He was exalted, thrilled in every fiber of his being. He put the dispatch in hia pocket and walked back through the train to his car. As he reached Miss La Tossa's section he found her folding up a bit of paper and putting it in her waist. Had she, too, received a dispatch? Holton did not doubt It. So he wasted no words. "Well, it has-come to pass," he said; "war has been declared, and within a lew months Cuba will be as free as even you could wish." "God grant it," she murmured. Holton held out his hand. "Good night, Miss La Tossa," bx said. She shook his hand cordially, lingeringly even. "Good night," she replied. Her eyes sought his, and for a moment it seemed as though she were going to speak. Then she turned away. Holton waited an instant, and then he, too, averted his face. "Good night," he said again, and went to his own berth, where the porter had completed his preparations, Select a person with a hot temper if you want a warm friend. CHAPTER V. Mysterious Messages. At Tampa Holton met and had breakfast with several army engineers who had been engaged in laying out camp sites in the pine woods back of j Tarnpa. Then in the afternoon he proceeded on to Port Tampa, nine miles a ay. Ahead, rising into the blue sky liko some dream palace in Sahara, the Tampa Bay Hotel, with its brick walls and gleaming silver domes and minarets. It brought hope to his heart, and his steps were more springy as he hurried toward the irnmense structure. A negro boy took his bag as he entered the lobby, and the clerk smiled as he had not done since the winter throng left the hostelry early in March. After a bath and shave he set out to the bay to view his new command. He found her in charge of an able seaman, Conroy, who welcomed him with enthusiasm. Holton stepped aboard and chuckled when he recalled the comparatively large deck space of the Scorpion. The Gnat was almost a toy craft, and yet her regulation torpedo gun on the after deck, the machine gun forward, and the little conning tower, heavily plated with steel, gave adequate hint that she was by no means built for pleasure. "It Is likely we'll be busy before long, Conroy," he said. "I'll have my luggage brought down from the hotel and come aboard at once. How many men have we?" "Only Howard, the engineer, and me," was the reply, "All right. The fewer the better. I'll return shortly, and perhaps take her out." Whereupon Holton stepped out with a blithe stride. In the lobby of the hotel he burled his face in a Washington newspaper and spent a half-hour absorbing the war talk of the day. His reverie was interrupted by a hotel page, who handed him a card bearing the name Jose Rodriguez, Havana. "Mr. Rodriguei wishes to tocow if you will do him the honor of falling upon him in his rooms," announced the boy. "Rodriguez! And who is he?" "He's a very wealthy Spaniard who has been here some time." "Well, then, you will tell Mr. Rodrigues that if he wishes to see me, hell find me here." "Yes, sir, I'll tell him that," and the boy hurried away. "I like the nerve of that," growled Holton, returning to his paper. In a few moments the page stood before him again. "Well?" Holton looked up impatiently. "Mr. Rodriguez said, sir, that he does not w-bsh to speak to you in tht lobby, and that it will be best for you if you visit him as soon as you can in his rooms." Holton flushed angrily. "Say, boy, get this straight. You give Mr. Rodriguez Mr. Holton's com pllments, and say to Mr. Rodrigtei th vt Mr. Holton says for him to go u the devil."

Mrs. Dan Crauford, whose book "Thinking Black" has created considerable controversy, mentioned some extraordinary Central African "dishes" in the course of a recent lecture. These included stewed elephant's trunk, roast rhinoceros foot, boiled hippo tongue (stewed 48 hours to make it tender), roast wild donkey, stewed monkey, roast water rat, head, tail and all, and the luscious morsel, which a chef provided as a state delicacy, of a mess of thousands of white ants, frizzled In their own fat, like a sort of Central African whitebait. Also there was a special dish, much favored, of starchy boiled grass, "green and glutinous." Mrs. Crauford also told of the Central African "knuts."

I was a nervous wreck for years. "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them, and urged me to try it I was prejudiced beeaiss) some years back I had drank a cap of weak, tasteless stuff called Postal which I did not like at all "This time, however, my friends made the Postum according to directions on the package, and it won me. Soon I found myself improving in a most decided fashion. "The odor of boiling coffee no longer tempts me. I am so greatly bene-: flted by Postum that if I continue improve as I am now, HI beghi think I have found the fountain Perpetual Youth.

The following, article was sent to this office for publication and signed "Redpath." Upon reading it, we believe that it might interest all public spirited citizens anX our opinion of the article is, that all knockers should sell their hammers and buy horns. The Pinckney lecture course closed with a very fine attraction,Barnard's Orchestra, last Wed. evening. From a financial standpoint the course has been a failure, although the entertainments were better than average. There has been much said relative to the coarse by people who hava Lexer taken an interest in public affairs, otherwise than to get their hammers out on everything which has a tendency, to boost their home town and then kick when there' isn't anything doing in toW*>.f Rather hard to please such pe&le, don't you think? In the fuiifce the public at large will hati an opportunity to show there sk& ih putting on a lecture course. Th|^ boys who keep the bread bajpetewarm in summer and the oh§ir seats in winter will have thlir obadce to pot on a really .^:. good course; it do»*sn't cost any- 'v thing, jo«t. try it*.

It is not the capital of the nation, despite its name, that Is richest in Intimate a s s o c 1 a tlona with the life of the first president, but Alexandria, which stands midway between Mount Vernon and the city of Washington. Alexandria played no small part In the formative years of Washington's youth and early manhood. A representative Virginia town, it stood then and for generations later for all that was best of colonial standards. Its people had much to do with the molding of Washington's character, and Washington richly repaid Alexandria, or 'Belle Haven as it was first called, by his never failing concern for its welfare and advancement. Probably no surviving structure in Alexandria harbored Washington within its hospitable walk more frequently than the old Carlyle house, and cer- [tainly npne was more directly associated with the foundation of the military side of his life. Strange as it may seem, for many years this historical landmark has been hidden away behind the battered front of Alexandria's once noted hotel, the Braddock 'houser occupying one cornor of tho in Her courtyard, shut away from the pubtic gsze and denied the outlook of the broad approach which It once enjoyed in.the days of Its well nigh baronial importance. Until a few years ago the Carlyle house was largely used as A storage place by a local dealer In toolonlal antiques, but a few patriotic Virginia women saved the building Ifrom further indignity, though not entirely from danger, as the old furniture found a new abiding place within the still more Inflammable Braddock 'bouse, adjoining. In 1732 John S. Carlyle Imported from the isle of Wight the stone of (which the house is built, and he absorbed for part of the foundation a portion of an old fort which had been built many years before for the protection of the English traders at Hunting Creek, as the place was then known, .against the Indians. The barracks of -that ancient defense became the cellar •of the Carlyle house, and in those tcool, dark, dry retreats were stored In •Washington's day the bulging casks, 'cob-webbed bottles, and delicious old hams for which Virginia has long been inbted. Another part of the old fort forms the plaza at the rear of the house upon which^ the broad central hallway opensr It was upon this plasa, in tne lar away days, that the Carlyles and Jtheir guests gathered on summer evetainge to discuss ths questions of the time or to pass the hours chatting •over a heartsome glass amid the soothing smoke of the fragrant Oronoiko. It was th^re the young people ^watch^d the moon rise over the rivei *nd took their pleasures in the decorous manner of those days. Then, the gardens ran down to the fiver's bank and overlooked the docks at which the trading craft were moored —trading craft that came from over the seas to barter the silks and riches of the east and the tsopic abundance of the West Indies in return for the famous tobacco with which Alexandria's one big warehouse was filled. That was a period of bounteous hospitality and courtly grace. On the right of the broad hallway is the large drawing room. In Washington's day it was finished in gold and white, and there on many occasions he took an active part in ball and festivity and led many a fair Vrrginlan through the stately steps of the minuet and the less exacting reel. The hallway itBelf, if .tradition be correst, is not without its sentimental interest, for it WSB at the foot of the beautiful Btaircase of solid mahogany that Washington awaited the coming of the lovely Sally Fairfax upon a particular evening and while escorting her into the ballroom offered her his heart, which she rejected. On the opposite side of this same hall is the blue and white room, which was John Carlyle's particular retreat. Within that room Washington received his commission as a member of General Braddock's staff in 1755. What that meant to Washington we can only partly divine, but there is no doubt of its significance to us as a nation because of what it taught him of the fighting ways of the British soldier. From the broad portico of Mount Vernon Washington saw Braddock arrive with his transports and his ments of red coated soldiery and pasri onward to Alexandria, nine miles above, coming with the splendid traditions of the king's troops and with all the martial fanfare of regulars. As a leader of the local provincial troops Washington had won for himself a creditable renown, but here were soldiers supposedly of sterner stuff and higher military capabilities. General Braddock promptly accepted the hospitable invitation of John Carlyle and established hie headquarters nnder the roof of that gracious host, the little blue and white room becoming the council chamber in which were planned the preparations for that memorable but ill fated campaign against the Indians. Washington's previous experience as a leader of local troops against the savages made. him welcome at those conferences and hie keen judgment and practical advice earned for him Braddock's admiration and the Invitation to serve upon the British general's staff. It is enough to add that in the trying work that followed the British records testify that "the Virginia officers and troops behaved like men and died like soldiers," and Washington came out of the strife unscathed and riper for the far more serious task that lay ahead of him. ~ The architectural student will find much to interest him and to warrant study in the Carlyle house. The" old windows, the doorways, the primitive cupboards, chairboards, doorsteps, cornices, molding, etc., are exquisite in taste and rich in quaintnees and elej gance of detail, There they are as ] they were in Washington's time, and in common with the rest of the mansion are regarded as among the best specimens of the so-called colonial style. ^ In February, 1752, a market was instituted in Alexandria and the citizens were justly proud of their enterprise. The market place then lay directly in front of the*approach to the Carlyle house and that same mart of country produce waB intimately Identified with Washington's domestic life at Mount Vernon and was one other means of displaying his common sense. We of today know but little of the hardships of that colonial period, and feasting was not always as abundant as the etory book would have it. Rev. Mr. Weems, that chatty chronicler of the times, tells us that Alexandria then boasted more rightly of its beauty thai its means of charming the; palate. "The neighborhood of Belle Haven was not a desert; on the contrary it was in many places a garden spot, abounding with luxuries. But its inhabitants, the wealthy, were not wise. By the successful culture of tobacco they had money. And having filled their coach houses with gilt carriages and their dining rooms with gilt glasses they began to look down upon the poorer sort and to talk about families. "Of course it would never do for such great people to run market carts! Hence the poor Belle Havenites, though embosomed In plenty, were often in danger of gnawing their hails. And unless they could catdr a lamb from some good natured /cracker' or a leash of chickens from the Sunday negroes were obliged to sit down with ces-te-a-nalf-graced ^inner-of salt meat and journey cake. "This was the order of the day, A. O. '59, when Washington, juet married to the wealthy young widow Custis, had settled at Mount Vernon, nine miles below Belle Haven. Tne unpleasant situation of the families at that place soon reached his ears. To a man of his character, with too much spirit to follow a bad example when he had the power to set a good one and too much wit to look for happiness anywhere but In his own bosom, It conld not long be questionable what part he had to act "A market cart was instantly constructed, and regularly three times a week sent off to Belle Haven filled with nice roasters, kidney covered lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks and gobblers, chickens by the basket, fresh butter, new laid eggs, vegetables and fruite of all sorts. Country gentlemen dining with their friends in town very soon remarked the welcome change in diet *BlesB us all/ exclaimed they, 'what's the meaning of this? You invited us to family fare', and here you hav<*>given us a lord mayor's feast.' 'Yes/ replied the others, 'thank God for sending a Colonel Washington into our neighborhood.'"

The first year I did not mind ^t so much as It was only Itching very badly at times, but the second year it advanced all around my leg and the itching was terrible.

''< PINCKNEY DISPATCH i^ MEXICAN BANDIT LEADER IS 3AID TO HAVE H E L D UP T R A I N . EIGHT AMERICANS AMONG T H E DEAD. Imprisoned Passengers Art Completely Consumed By Intense Heat AfUr Wreck in Burning Tunnel. Cumbre, Chihuahua—Charred bones and several metal buttons and buckles from clothing were the only traces discovered of the bodies of the 40 passengers and crew of the train wrecked in the Cumbre tunnel of the Mexico & Northwestern railway Wednesday night. A rescue party equipped with oxygen helmets to guard them against the effects of the smoke and fumes of the still smoldering wreckage, made their way from the south portal of the tunnel, over the wreckage of the burned freight train to the locomotive and forward cars of the passenger train. Nothing remained of the cars but the metal frames and trucks and it is believed the bodies of the imprisoned passengers must have been completely destroyed by the intense heat. The wreckage is buried under from five to 10 feet of earth and rock from the caved walls and roof of the tunnel. Maximo Castillo, who was in command of the party that held up the freight train and pushed it into the tunnel where it was set on fire, had with him only 13 m,en and two, women. It is said he did not stop the passenger train but that he and his men went over the divide to watch the approach of the train and see it dash into the tunnel where the track was blocked by the burning freight. The bandits then disappeared. The victims included at least eight Americans and 30 Mexicans, according to a dispatch from American Con- Bui Letcher at Chihuahua to the state department at Washington.

Any person wishing to compare the scale of prices should inquire whether the distant store was selling the same goods. Second grade products can be made to look very handsome in a catalog cut. But the home merchants can not float that kind of goods. They come back to his store too easily. It is amusing to nee the bother people will take for trifling sums they think they are saving. They will travel many miles, spend street car fares, pay for luncheons, hotel bills and tips. They get tired aud footsore tramping around overgrown stores separated by long distauces. They wait for change, carry bundles and pay express. They pay a price in money and energy for supposed economies. When you buy goods away from home you rarely take them back. The bother and ex pense looks prohibitive. When ]• you buy at home you would re-1 turn them if dissatisfied. This j takes the time of clerks, frequently the goods have been injured while in your hands. Where it is so easy to return goods, the customer must be given both the worth of his money and something suited to his needs. A higher grade of salespeople is thus required in the home store. To make a sale that will stick so near home the customer must be given intelligent advice. Thus the puhlic demands from the home store more competent service than it exacts from distant merchants. This means additional expense which is counterbalanced by lower rents and like economies. When you consider how generously the home store responds to all kinds of demands reasonable and unreasonable the range of its prices is remarkably low,.—Ex.

DUDGEON. WHY IRISH BUTTER IS GOOD. Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland.— What the city woman needs is butter that 1B standardized and always of a uniform excellence—butter wb>«»h comes as fresh and comes as straight as may be from the cow on the farm to the table in the city dining room. With the husband singing In her ears the cong of high cost of living—and what husband is not driven to such songs in these days of high prices— she feels that she must get butter that can be bought at something less than the fancy priceB charged In the exclusive delicatessen shops to which she is driven in her efforts to insure her family a good grade of butter. Ask her and she will tell you that if co-operatlon will enable her to get good butter at a price made somewhat less by the elimination of excessive distribution charges then she is heartily for co-operation. The city man of course, wants a good butter to eat. The farmer want* to make money from his dairy. They have been telling us in America that direct co-operative marketing will give each what he wants; that co-operation has repeatedly accomplished these results where it has been tried In Ireland, in Holland, in Denmark and in Germany. If co-operation will do this, it is well to look into it for good butter is important—and financial profits are worth while. So some of us are over here in Ireland to see if co-operation really Is a benefit both to the city eater and to the rural producer. The co-operative creamery here is turning out good butter—none better anywhere. We think we have found why IriBh butter is good, why it brings to the farmer a good price in this city. The butter Is good because co-operative creameries use good methods of butter making; because their patrons get good milk from good cows, take good care of it, and deliver it in good condition to the creamery; and lastly because when once made it Is hurried off to a consumer before it can get stale. They get a good price for it because it Is good butter. On the other hand, the city gets It at a reasonable price because co-operative marketing in Ireland Is direct marketing; because the butter comes quickly and directly from the creamery to the city home with little added expense for much handling by many middlemen. Why Farm Butter It Sometimes Bad. The writer remembers summer but* ter made from cream skimmed from uncooled milk and kept on the warm pantry shelf during the long hot days . until churning time. It was hardly butter— it was in fact commercially ranked "grease." It brought six cents per pound, and as butter w.as worth less. Failure to make good butter was inevitable. Nor were the tired farmers' wives to be criticised for the poor results obtained. They had no facilities for keeping the milk and cream clean and cool, no facilities lor making butter, ho facilities for keeping it. Cooperation Llghtem Labor. What the woman on the farm most needs is to be free from the burden of the endless handling of milk, cream and butter, from skimming the milk, and churning the cream and from salting and working and molding the butter— from all the labor entailed in the production of home-made, hand-made butter. She needs it if she is to have any life outside the kitchen and the milk room. The laborious wearinest of the uneventful existence of the farmer's wife has produced many candidates for the insane asylums.' More than one worn out unfortunate has been taken into custody because her household duties have chained her to a maddening monotony unrelieved by opportunity for Intercourse, and hare made impossible any thought above the churn and the cook store. One Wisconsin farmer's wife was adjudicated by the county judge to be afflicted with insanity. When the judge announced the decision to the husband he was incredulous. "It can't be she's got insanity or anything else," he said. "She's had no chance to catch it She hasn't set a foot off the farm for 14 years and no neighbor has stayed at our house long enough to give her anything." If co-operation in the production and marketing of butter will take off even a small part of the burden of the farmers' wife, if it will give her time to straighten up from her work at table and tub and leave her free to remember that she is a human being with a head and a^toul, if it will permit her to get off the farm oftener than once in 14 wears—If co-operation will do this or help by ever so little to do It, the woman on the farm is for co-operation. An Ungatfant Irishman. Wc- have found one man here in Ireland who is opposed to co-operation. Walking along a country road near Omagh we came upon a shrewd faced Irishman who was very ready to talk about co-operation. He was evidently a man of some Intelligence and, judging from his manner and address, a man of some experience and success in business. So we engaged him in conversation about co-operation and its effects. "I am against it," he said. "There is no sense in it." And he gave us in forcible and picturesque language the story of4*ow he had been personally injured in his business by co-operation. It developed that he had been a buyer of farm produce—a commission merchant in a small way. "Now there is no money in it," he said, "since the margin between what the city man pays and what the farmer receives is cut down. The farmer sells through the co-operative organization directly to the city merchant." Reluctantly lie admitted that maybe it was better for the farmer and better for the city consumer who had little with which to buy food. "But it's hard on us commission men. It's putting us on the rocks. I am not buying butter at ail any more. The co-operative creamery here has run me out." We asked him if co-operative butter making did not make the work of the farmer's wife and daughter easier. "Of course it does," he said. "And little good it is doing them. They don't have to skim the milk and churn and mold and salt the butter now and so they go galavanting over the roads on their bicycles. They don't stay home at all any more. They're worse about gadding than city women," and he shook his head with misgivings. So, if it be true, as our Irish friend in his self- pity proclaimed, that cooperative butter making and butter marketing is going to make it cost the consumer less and net the farmer more, we suggest that both maker and eater will be for it, the ex-commission merchant to the contrary notwithstanding. They will both in city and country be interested In seeing co-operation accomplished. Certainly the country woman who feels the burden of butter making will welcome a process by which she is to get an opportunity to Bee something besides the top of the cook stove and the inside of the big churn. And we do not believe that the ordinary American farmer will object to co-operation even if It does give his wife and daughter time to get out upon the road in buggy or on bicycles. The Omagh Creamery, When we learned that the Omagh Co-operative Creamery system of marketing was cutting down the margin of price between farmer and consumer —was both raising the price to the farmer and lowering the price to the consumer, we concluded that It was a concern worth considering. Even the accusation that made it possible for the farmer's wife and daughter to get out on their bicycles occasionally did not unduly prejudice us against it. The Omagh creamery is capitalized by contributions from 600 members who invested from five dollars, up to $250 each. But the voting is not by shares. It Is on the one man one vote plan. The five-dollar man votes just as often and as forcibly as the $25o-dollar man. The members voting thus elect a board of directors. These in turn hare the best man they can get as manager, But he must be more than a butter maker. He must be a good business man and an expert in marketing. No matter how moon money hi made, it must all go book to the members in proportion to the butter fat delivered to the creamery after a dividend not exceeding five per cent, is paid to the stockholders. Five per cent. i« the limit of profit to shareholders. This Is the rule in all co-operative enterprises in Ireland. It is organized primarily that profits may go to the man who brings in the cream. It Is not ranked as a particularly fine investment for the shareholder. Differs From American Creameries. We find the mechanical processes of butter making much the same as those in the best up-to-date American butter factories. We do find, however, that cellence than that of the American factory. Here each member seems to realise more fully than does the American farmer that the utmost vigilance must be exercised in keeping the milk and cream fresh and free from all impurities, that keeping up the quality of the butter is as much his business as the butter-maker's. Therefore he breeds and feeds and cares for bis cows and handles his milk on scientific lines suggested by co-operative instructors and inspectors. The farmer is saving bis own Interests, of course, for a falling off of quality and reputation means a falling off in the price obtained for butter. The creamery tests carefully, not only for butter fat but for freshness and flavor. Supervision and Inspection, Then, too, the Irish Aarieultural Organization society, which is the central federation of all co-operative societies, Inspects the creamery and ite output frequently, points out defects and helps to remedy them. The business side is not neglected. The organization society has complete business supervision of the creameries, which must keep their accounts and records in the way and on forms prescribed by this central body. The creameries report to the organization society and their books and accounts are periodically audited by the organization society's auditor. Co-Ope rat I on Does the Work. In short, the butter ie good because of co-operation. The members co-operate with each other and with the Omagh creamery; the Irish Agricultural Organization society co-operates with the Omagh creamery; the Omagh creamery is federated with hundreds of other creameries and is federated with and co-operates with the Irish Wholesale society through which the butter is marketed. It is co-operation everywhere and the object of it all is to produce good butter, to market it in good shape and to get a fair price for it. Quality and Brands. But quality after all is the whole thing. If butter is not good no system of marketing, no business methods, no exercise of federated strength, no cooperative endeavor can do anything for it. The Omagh creamery makes good butter and for years has made good butter. It has a well established reputation for good butter which is worth at least one cent for every pound that, it makes. In order to be able to collect this cent on each pound it must mark each pound that it sends out. — . And printed upon the wrappers and stamped upon the cases is the guaranty of quality: "Guaranteed Pure Centrifugal Creamery Butter, Finest Quality." Butter Central Label. But more Important still is the authorized label of the Irish Agricultural Organization society issued from its headquarters at the Plunkett house iu Dublin. It goes upon only the best of butter. It goes not upon a case or cake or cover, but upon the butter it- .self. The label is printed upon thin tissue paper. When it is placed upon the butter it is stamped with a die that fixes the label firmly upon and in the butter and tears the paper so that it cannot be removed and used again. This label is guaranteed as carefully as are the coins of the realm. Each has a series number and can be traced to the creamery to which it was delivered. If by any chance it is found up on a poor quality of butter, the buttez is at once sent back to the creamery to which the use of that particular label was entrusted. What We Need In America. We have plenty of creameries in the United States. Some of them ara "owned co-operatively by the farmers. But the farmers stop just short of the highest success. The marketing is generally haphazard. The different creameries do not co-operate in sell ing. Often good butter goes bad be fore it is sold. No one knows where the demand is greatest today, when the butter should be sent tomorrow. The quality is seldom uniform. Many a good butter maker with, good butter making equipment turns out poor butter because the patrons bring in poor cream. The farmers do not co-opera* tively work for quality. The creamery does not always discriminate between the best fresh cream and cream that is a trifle stale and old. Butter buyers cannot know what they are getting. The name of the creamery upon a package carries no guaranty of quality. It Is put on good and had butter alike. A Definite Prescription. What is needed in the United States is, first, eresmerles supported by farmers working together co-operatively to produce an absolutely uniform high grade product; second, a brand that is authoritatively fixed only on butter of the highest quality after official tests and grading:; and third, a central association or federation of creameries that will perform the functions of the Irish Wholesale society and of the Irish Agricultural Organization society. This central federation should control the branding of butter, possibly under state supervision; it Bhould respect and audit and advise with, each separate creamery; it should aid in marketing the butter intelligently and economically. j»s}ta).sfle}^s)gtajtsfrs^^s>sftsj^s)isjia? $ MARKET QUOTATIONS : %**«**>•**» ****** mm*mmr Mve Steek, Grain and Gsneral Farm Produce. this co-operative association has had «*„„»„««*•«,. an output that is of more uniform ex-1 (copyrirht. i m .

While din- **a* at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter In the act of robbing a beautiful «punt lady. She thanks him for his serv- !e and gives her name as Miss La Toasa. * Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at • ball. CHAPTER II.—Continued. The dance he was waiting for at length arrived, and Holton sallied forth to seek his partner before the Opening strains of the waltz measure had died away. He found her standing alone near the musicians, and as he advanced with a smile of greeting She looked at him with a strange expression. "No, Mr. Holton," she said, "we mustn't; it is best not." "Best not what?" Holton stopped short and regarded her with a look of amazement. "Best not dance, really," she said. Holton almost glared at her. "And why not, please?" he asked stiffly. The girl stepped impulsively for* ward and placed her hand on his arm. "Ah, don't," she said. "It is for the beet* I tell you. Now, please excuse me." . "Don't you care to dance with me?" Holton looked at her curiously. The girl's Up drooped Just \ bit, and with that sign of weakness she was lost, for Holton's strong arm stole dbout her waist and the next Instant sfce was out on the floor with him. "Oh," she gasped, "why did you?" "Because I wanted to," replied Holton simply. "Oh, I knew you thought I was a bad dancer and were, trying to wriggle out, but I'll show you I am not at all bad." She had already discovered that fact, and, abandoning herself to the sheer joy of the dance, relaxing slightly in his arms, she suffered herself to be guided about the floor. After the. dance Holton led her to a secluded corner and sat down beside her. "That was great," he exclaimed. "Permit me to say you dance wonderfully well." "And you, too," she said. "But why—" She interrupted him by tapping him with her fan. "Don't, please!" she pleaded. Holton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he said. He toek her card. "The next dance Is ours," he added. "Why did you come here tonight?" she asked. "Why—why—because i_wanted to dance," he answered. "I thought," she began slowly, "I thought that perhaps there might be another reason for your coming." Holton started back - in his chair. Surely there was another reason, but this girl Jhad driven that "other reason" completely out of hie mind. The thought occurred to him that he was not cut out to be a marvelous detective. "What are you smiling1 at?" she •Sked. . "Ton live near Santiago?" he asked. She threw a swift glance at him. "Yes," she answered. "I hare never been there, but it must £$ a wonderful country." "The most beautiful in the world." £ * • toe* Be*-head back proudly. *TeJl,nie abd*t i f went on Holton. •*D6 ton five m; the cltjrr 7^¾ >fatheV^nm^a estate in the fcflirf^tth* way to Ctabitaa. Oh, it is ^wendscf#M* The betatifsl birds, the flowers, the moonlight, the fruits! 1 am ,neyer n*ppy ,s*r+ - when I am there," "You are 4uite * patriot,* observed Holton with a laugh. •^Aarl not!" she exclaimed. "I was horn there; I love it. It is*home." , f Sometime I may go to Cuba. May l:call?" Her^face clouded. ' "When yon come to Cuba, I'm afraid jsou'll not have time for the social amenities." "I wonder," he said. ?f war is declared," she went on, fv?ill you wield your sword for Cube,., '*lth as much sincerity as you would in defense of your own land?" "Is that a request?" he asked. "If you regard it aa such." "Then 1 promiasV* h* said softly. •»s thrust out hat hand inpulsiTCf}. Presently, as the next dance began, she arose. "Mr. Holton," she said, "believe me sincerely when I say to you that I must go now. I promised father I would leave at one O'clock, and you see now that it 1B after one." Holton got up with a gesture of deprecation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish it, nor did she attempt to draw it way. "If you ever hear anything concerning me—now or in the future, will you withhold judgment until—until you ask me about it and have me explain?" "I promise," replied Holton. There was a faint pressure on his fingers, a bright smile, and the next instant he was standing alone. As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about, Holton. was confronted by a thick-set man in evening dress. "A very charming girl, Mr. Holton," observed the stranger. Holton flushed angrily. "And who are you?" he asked bluntly. "My name is Harper," was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way, do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?" "Who? Miss La Toss*? Oh, yes." But Holton suddenly realised how little he did know. "How well do you know Miss La Tossa?" the other asked suddenly. "Oh, a mere acquaintance; recent," answered Holton. "Did you know that that young woman has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?" "Rest of what?" demanded Holton eagerly. "Rest of the spies, of course." Holton thought a moment and then there recurred to him the girl's parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future, will you withhold judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain?" And he had promised. Well, he would make good his word. He would nave her explain. He turned to the Secret Service man beside him. "What you have said is very interesting," he said. "In good^time I may have supplementary information." "Don't tell me you didn't know this all the while?" smiled the detective. "I'm telling nothing," and Holton turned away. CHAPTER III. A Broken Promise. While Holton was making up his mind to ask Miss La Toasa several questions, her father began to do that very thing without, apparently, waiting to make up his mind, as soon as the two were within the little anteroom of their hotel suite. "Carita!" he expostulated. "You did not attend this dance to flirt?" She laughed. "Father, and how could I help it? He waa snch—such a corker." ^ The senor raised his hands heavenward and looked at his daughter ~Tn mock dismay. "Agreed, then, he was a corker. I am glad to know that. It is really valuable information. But now tell me waa he inch a corker that you forgot to ascertain that for which you attended this ball? Waa he in reality Lieutenant Holton?" "Oh, yea, he waa/' "Well, then, what about the Scorpion?*' "Why, I—I did not recall that you—" The candor which was naturally a part of the girl's nature asserted itself. "Father, he was so fascinating that I forgot all about the Scorpion." "So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his shoulders. "There was very small doubt that he really was Lieutenant Holton," he went on. "Several of my men recognized1 him. But what was really important was why he left the torpedo boat, and having done so, what became of the boat. That was what I really wished to know, and what you easily could have learned. 1 am sorry you have failed me." "I am sorry I disappointed you, but, father, I hate the Spaniards—I am Cuban born, and I hate them because they have been so cruel." Her eyes flashed. "I have disowned Spain." "My daughter!" exclaimed the father sharply. "I cannot help It, father. Have we not seen women starring with their babies at their dry breasts? Have We not seen men fighting for the bones we have thrown from our baskets? Have wo not seen murder after murder in cold blood?" "That r why I have been aiming to obtain the governorship," said the father, "and how are you helping me? Not by such language. That is what you have to consider." Another thing, my daughter, 1 have heard that you are becoming too closely affiliated with certain groups of Cuban plotters— you know who I mean. I forbid that absolutely." The girl blazed at him with dilated eyes. "You have heard what?" she asked. "I have heard enough to make it seem my duty to have you sent back to Santiago—to the estate' You are a girl—you are young, and I am sorry to have to say that you are also a trifle foolish. You will therefore sail on the Ward liner Saturday with your aunt." "Very well, father; it shall be as you wish. There will be war, you think?" "There is no doubt as to that. The drift of this government is easily read." "And then—" "Cuba will never be taken. We shall plan no war of aggression. We shall wait to be taken—but that never shall come to pass." "You say that!" The girl regarded him closely. "The United States Is a great nation." "Yes, but not a warlike one. Our soldiers uphold the traditions of the Cld; the blood of war flows in their veins. It is inconceivable that the arms of a nation so rich in military history, so filled with annals of achievement and of conquest both on land and eea, should succumb to a nation whose shrines are dollar-marks and whose gods are profit and loss. Remember, until my return to Santiago, you are to remain at the estate." He paused and took a paper from his pocket. "And between now and Saturday," he added, adjusting his glasses, "you will avoid Senores Perez. Pedrajas, Montez, Cassajara, and Castro." The daughter cast a swift glance at her father, and then let her eyes fall to tHe floor. "You see," he continued, "I am tolerably familiar with what has bean going on. My position here, Ranee, is one of dignity. I am not a spy, I am not a diplomatic emissary. When "Father, I Hate the Spaniards." relations of diplomacy are broken I shall have no* further business here. But you—you are different. You hare been played upon by a group of zealots whose cauee is not *only against the country o f my birth, but also against the United States. Then he kissed her good night and went into his room to enjoy a muchneeded rest. For some time she sat In her apart ment, thinking; finally she sat down and wrote the following letter: "Father Dear: "Forgive me, but I cannot, keep that promise. I cannot. Before yow awakn I shay have gone to K-ey Weft, perhaps. From there 1 shall go to Santiago as you wiehed, where, if you have not disowned me I shall await you at our home." 8he smiled as she wrote this, knowing that however angry her father* might be, love for her, his spoiled darling, would utterly prevail. "In the meantime you will receive daily messages from me, telling you I am well. Adios. "Your loving RANEE." Enclosing the note in an envelope, she addressed it, placed it on a desk in the anteroom, put on a coat, concealed her face with a heavy veil, and went out of the hotel. Early next morning Holton set out for his audience with the assistant secretary. "Well, what did you learn?" was the smiling greeting he received from hia superior. Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as Holton told his story, but when ho had concluded he leaned forward. "Well, how do you like detective work?" "I fear I am not a detective, Mr. Secretary. I think I iiave demonstrated that." "Ahem, I don't know, Mr. Holton. I tell you, it was more or less of a whim of mine, sending you to the ball. I had hoped you might meet a Miss La Tossa. In fact I had requested a Secret Service man to bring you two together." Holton started. "Oh," he said, "I did meet her." Holton proceeded to recount his experiences with the girl, beginning with the incident of the waiter and the gold-mesh bag and ending with his dance and his interview with the detective. "Well," responded Mr. Roosevelt, "you have done exactly as 1 might have wished you to do, and, having done this, it is my desire that you cultivate her acquaintance assiduously and report to me whenever you learn anything that may appear valuable." He noticed the blank face of the officer. "What is the matter?" he asked. "But, Mr. Secretary, I cannot spy upon her—sho is my friend. Why," he cried warmly, "she's the finest girl you ever met!" "Why, my dear Holton, cannot you see? She was spying upon you." "I cannot see how she was doing that," protested Holton. "She made no attempt—" "Well, see here, Mr. Holton, you have established your acquaintance. Now, then, I ask you this: If you discover in the course of your friendship with her that she is working to injure our country, will you take steps to prevent her doing so and to apprise me as to the facts?" "I am under oath to the United States, sir." "Well, then, that is all I ask. You are ordered hereby to pursue your acquaintance with this young woman to that end." "Yes, sir," replied Holton. "I suppose then that I shall remain in Washington some time." "No, Mr. Holton, you'll not be in Washington long. Mies La Tossa left for Tampa this morning." Holton started to his feet. "And I'm to follow her?" "Yes, at once, please. You had better arrange- about transportation and the like immediately." "Thank you, sir." Holton did not hear the laughter that followed his outburst of gratitude, or at least he paid no attention to it For the one thought that filled his mind was that he was going to some heavenly place where his dance partner of the night before was to be.

Her timbers are still staunch, and her new owner declares he can see no reason why she should not sail the seas for a century to come. Very.

Dunglow, County Donegal, Ireland.— This is the old haunt—the habitat— of the "gombeen man." He Is our American city "loan shark" transplanted with all his blood-sucking propensities and his starvation inducing qualities into rural Ireland- Here conditions are right for his activities. Where the need for money is greatest he prospers best. The poorer the country, the richer he grows. And poor enough this country certainly Is. Wide, low-lying peat bogs stretch between great slopes of rising hillsides where the soil shows only between masses of outcropping rock* No fields are there here large enough to offer opportunity for work with horses even If plowing and cultivating were not made impossible by the huge halfburied rocks. Every enclosure de> mauds fertilizers as a condition precedent to. production. Nature Is stingy and hesitates to let go of any product of value to humans. Yet here and there is a cottage upon a barren hillside; around it we see children that are not starving nor Insufficiently clothed. "Gombeen Man" Pasting. Here was the haunt of the gombeen man. But aa relative prosperity comes in he goea out They tell us that cooperation has numbered the days of the gombeen man and that he is passing. As he formerly operated his business here he was the worst enemy to rural prosperity to be found upon the Island. "The gombeen man is worse than the non-resident landlord," «ays Paddy Gallagher of Dunglow, which Is an extreme statement when made by one whose father and family have suffered cruelly from many evictions. Seldom was the gombeen man admittedly in the loan business. Frequently he was a trader or shop keeper. Generally he kept a public house. Often he was a dominating influence politically, and held some office. Invariably he was an economic scourge and made rural prosperity impossible. We have spoken of him in the past tense, not because he has altogether oeased to exist but because co-operation seems to be developing a plan for rural credit which will eventually put him out of business. Patrick Gallagher's Story, Patrick Gallagher, now the manager of the local co-operative society, probably knows as much about the trials of the poor farmer in Ireland as any one. He was born in a little oneroom farm cottage and was at nine years of age forced to leave home and hire himself out as a farm laborer r* reiving the wage of three pounds for fahc .months' work. From these beginnings lie has risen to be a rural financier In Oounty Donegal and has raised the condttioTi of ^he poor farmers froav abject poverty to comparative comfort through his co-operative enterprises. Hero is what Paddy Gallagher says of the gombeen men, speaking from his personal experiences and verifying much that he says from documents .and account books: "Here M one transaction of my own with the gombeen man. On the 28th of Mat, 1906; my father and I bought seven stone of flour and one hundred weight of Indian meal, each. My father paid for his 14,25. I was not In * position to par for mine until the 11th of July, 1906, forty-four days 'later. The gombeen man cthen presented me with a bU! for $5.31. I disunited his right to charge me $1.06 interest on $4.25 for only forty-four days aand pointed out to him that my father bought the same goods on the same 4ate for $4.25, The gombeen man argued that my father paid $4.50 and that ha was only charging me eighty* -one bents extra, or 144 per cent interest per annum. During the twenty years my father was bringing np his family, he paid interest at this rate. "'Here is a writ that was issued -against a poor fanner. The amount is $9f?Tt, and here is the pass book which proves that $18.25 of that is interest Ton will also note that the sjomteen man charges this customer •2.37 for seven stone of floor; on the same date the co-operative society's pries *a» IMS."

So on Sunday afternoon "it is us" for a, jaunting car and a ride into the country in search of fundamental facts. We hear of a patriarchal citizen five miles out who they say is as honest as the day is long. We find Donald O'Boyle (otherwise 8hane O'ge) in a habitation which from outward appearances hardly merits the name of cottage. But when warm hearted Irish hospitality invites us inside we find a neat, clean, comfortable place, that is Indeed home to the family which has been for generations the tenants of a line of nonevicting landlords. Shane O'ge, with his son, his daughter-in-law, and some shy, blue-eyed little grandchildren, welcomes us warmly. The mother is feeding the children mashed potatoes and milk from a bowl (about all many Irish children get to eat). To them this Is much more interesting than a discussion of the gombeen man. Yes, he and his father knew well the gombeen man. "We'd buy of the trader but we'd not know the price at all," he said. "It would do us no good. We'd have to pay in the end what he'd ask us anyway when he had the money. It was hard to get it round here—we mostly had to go over and work In the Scottish harvests to get any at all. When we had the money we would ask what we owed and the trader would tell us what It was. We never knew what the items were. We never dared to ask. He would say, 'How dare you dispute my books?' And it's more than one poor man I've seen kicked out for asking a civil question. But everybody says they charged the highest price the stuff had been from the time it was bought until we paid for It and I guess that's the truth, and of course the added Interest, though I don't know how much. And so of course, we paid what they asked—and enough it was— though we never knew much about ft They let us get meal or anything else on credit without money for they knew it meant more to them in a high price besides interest Things are different now; they're a lot better." Co-operative Credit Conquering. Things are different in Ireland now. The farmers themselves are driving out the gombeen man. Co-operative credit associations have changed all this. As that eminent Irishman, Sir Horace Plunkett, says in his book on Ireland in the New Century: "To* exact purpose of these organisations is to create credit as a means of introducing capital into the agricultural industry. They perform the apparent miracle of giving solvency to a community composed almost entirely of insolvent individuals." Paddy Gallagher in telling as how the association operates here at Donglow, says: "A credit society in Dunglow was organized and established in October, 1903, by the Irish Agricultural Organization society and has been regularly audited and inspected by that body ever since. Although we had at first only £220 of working capital, we have now a reserve of £26, 16s. The members are equally responsible for the success or failure of the society. Each man lias one vote no matter how much or how little his investment in the concern ii. They take such keen interest, in it that during its nine years working there has not been an over due loan at the end of the year. The society if undoubtedly of great assistance to the people In the district We want the time to come when every man can walk up the street in Dunglow and say he owes nothing." Capitalising Character. These cooperative banks have, as it were, capitalised character. The early organisers of co-operative credit association* held, and experience has confirmed the opinion, that In the poorest communities there is .a per* feetly safe basis of security la the honesty and industry of its members. This security is not valnasie in the ordinary, commercial sense. The or* dinary banker has no intimate knowledge of the character of those who apply tot a loan. Neither has he any way of testing whether or net those who borrow "for productive purposes" actually apply the-loan to such parposes. The borrower most brtns; tare sureties, who like the bmwwor hlnv salt mutt be men of approved character tad capacity. The dsaraoter of these three men U tfce.soto^bssis^el credit. # The rirfse proves. Swd3a* is .the characteristic feature of the jjhat a loan shall be made for a "productive purpose" only. That is, the borrowed money must be used for a purpose which, In the Judgment of the committee, will enable the borrower to repay the loan out of the results of the use made of the money. The farmer buys a sow to raise pigs; he must have fertilisers; he needs some high-grade seeds; hs wants to build better shelter for his cow—all these are productive purposes. In one case money to send the borrower's boy to school tor eight months so at to increase his earning capacity was considered a productive purpose Justifying a loan, as it proved to be when the boy himself repaid the loan. The rules of the co-operative society provide for the expulsion of a member who does not apply the money to the agreed purpose. It is said, however, to the credit of the Irish members of these societies, that there has never been the necessity of putting this rule in force In a single instance anywhere throughout the entire island. Social and moral influences seem to be quite sufficient to secure obedience to the rules and regulations of the society. Co-operative Credit Is Good. There are other advantages. The regular bank Is generally miles away, It costs money for the borrower to go and take his sureties, paying car fare, meals and maybe drinks, while the cooperative association is right at hand. The bank will loan for only 90 days, while the co-operative society will make it up to a year. And a 90-day loan gives tbe fa'rmer no chance to realize on seed or fertilizer or stock bought with the money borrowed. But here in the local credit bank If a man Is honest he can get the loan he needs. He must bring two sureties, but cooperation'breeds and develops neighborly helpfulness and they say no honest man ever falls because he can get no sureties. - Neither the association nor its members have any considerable capital When they organise they begin by borrowing' a sum of money on the Joint and several liability of the members. Deposits are received from both members and non-members. The society usually borrows at fonr or five per cent and lends at five or six per cent In some cases government funds have been loaned to them at three per cent, thus enabling them to make a very low loan to their members. The expense of administration is almost nothing. Lesson for Rural America. It is such societies as these that are putting the gombeen men out of business in Ireland. We have in rural America gombeen men. They are not so called, but American loan sharks and credit men are first cousins to the Irish gombeen men. The question we Americans are trying to answer Is this: Have Irish rural credit methods a lesson for the rural sections fn our own land? Can our loan shark, whether In city or country, be fought and conquered by similar American co-operative societies? There are hundreds of poor fanners who must ask credit either of merchants and dealers or must secure loans from some source. Most of them get credit of the local merchant. It is, of course, well recognised that any dealer who extends credit not only charges interest but charges a higher price than when he gets cash payment Why cannot the American farmer get a loan at a nearby banking Institution for six months or ten months or a year instead of for 96 days? Why cannot b e *»f»t**H«ft hts rharantar JiA _ does the Irishman? In some states there are under existing laws plenty of small Joint stock banks throughout tbe smaller towns and villages which are accessible. The directors and officers .know the -farmer's needs. They are so intimately acquainted with those who might become borrowers that they could do as the Irish credit banks do and arrange for capitalising character. But they don't do It (Cesyrifht. 1114, Wtstenr'Newspaper Union.) Fast Traveling 100 Years Ago. One hundred years ago the citizens of Philadelphia, New York, Boston and intervening points were acclaiming the progress of the times, with particular reference to the speed with which President Madison's message to congress had been carried to the varies* states.

W1 'IHEN Abraham Lincoln was a small boy, says St. Nicholas, he had very few ^ ^ ^ ^ hooka. There was no need . for him to consult a list of the hundred best books. His earliest possessions contested of leas than balf a dozen volume*—a pioneer's library. First, of course, was the bible, a whole library in itself, If Koperly understood, and containing every sort of literature—stories, poems, dramas, addresses, orations, histories, some simple enough for the youngest child, others taxing- the wisdom of the learned. Second was "Pilgrim!* Progress," with its quaint characters and vivid scenes related .in simple, vigorous English. "Aesop's Fables" was a third, and Introduced the log-cabin boy to a wonderful range of character*—the gods of mythology, the different ranks and classes of mankind, and every animal under the eun. Fourth was a History of , the United Statea, in /which there was the charm of truth and a more modem, tone, and from which were learned the lessons of patriotism Uiat Iindoln's manhood put, into action. Last came W«emi'J *T^e of Wa«hihfton.^a queer* stilted book, but one full of detail that .made Washington -seem a living example. -Xheee nva ^ooke^were -th© beginning of Lincoln's education: and what wise man has outgrown them all? _ Prom the Bible/Pilgrim's Progress, and Aesop the, bby Uncojn learned the power %hd beauty of ptafc Jraglish words,-and taw that the grandest thoughts and most poetic imagining* needed only the strong little words of every day. When, therefore. ID later life he wished to be sure he understood any matter, it became his custom to translate it into words such as a child can understand. Read again the Gettysburg address and second inaugural, and learn how Lincoln could make the homespun words of common use move the hearts of his fellowmen. Who will tell us what books were read by other great men and women of the past when they were "youn? readers?" Abraham Lincoln. Lowell somewhere remarks that It Is the highest art of a republic to produce men of flesh and blood. 01 Abraham Lincoln it was said he wae a man matchless among 40,000,000 in hie fitness for the place he held and the task he had to perform.

There-'8 no rest and but little peace for a person whose kidneys are out of order. ^ Lame in the morning, suffering cricks Is the back and sharp stabs of pain with every sudden strain, the;day is just one round of pain and trouble. It would be strange if all-day backache did not wear on the temper, but it is not only on that account that people who suffer with weak kidneys are nervous, cross and irritable. Uric acid is poison to the nerves, and when the kidneys are not working well, this acid collects in the blood and works upon the nerves, causing headache, dizziness, languor, an Inclination to worry over trifles, and a suspicious, short temper. Rheumatic pain, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, neuritis and gravel are further steps In uric acid poisoning. Don't neglect kidney weakness. An aching back, with unnatural passages of the kidney secretions, is cause enough to suspect the kidneys.

One spendthrift coold squander all the money that a thousand people make, too, but let us be calm. An exchange tells of a farmer who spent $25 advertising his public sale, which is about four times the amount usually spent The result was that , the sale brought him over $700 more than his highest estimate, so he thinks that it was money well spent. Farmers are just beginning to learn the value of liberal advertis ing of public sales. A tew dollars spent in advertising in the local paper will be read by ten times as many people as read the billT which cost nearly as much as the advertisement and therefore it a much better investment.

Of courae, the aame thing applies to photographs of them; yet, for all that, there Is a satisfaction in taking them at home in their wild state rather than In captivity. I lire In a district in which these animals breed, and yet though I hare tried for years to procure photographic records of the young seals In the nursery, I have only just succeeded in getting a really good series. To begin with, the haunts of the parents are always outlying and somewhat Inaccessible rocks, where the ocean swell heaves itself almost ceaselessly and makes landing difficult. Then, again, the season of the year at which young seals are born is confined to a very limited period, which happens to coincide with the autumnal Equinox, and, consequently, with the equinoctial gales. This, of course, tends to make landing still more difficult, if not impossible. All this means that only once perhaps in several years do things so shape themselves that one can get a favorable opportunity of working among these marine animals. This year, however, circumstances have so arranged themselves that on the second attempt it was possible to land and photograph the young Quite comfortably. On Friday, October 4, we started for the Weatern Isles', and landed upon a rock which, as a rule, is selected by one or two mothers as a nursery for their young; but after a thorough search we had to give it up as hopeleas, and what made matters worse was that our anchor, during our stay on shore, had become fixed in some manner among the rocks on r-^ftvvj' •-•'..,. $>• -4 "*%»?:••• ls.lt:, .-,.-. »•,-.> - • , . •• >••$. H ^ the bottom, and fcafflo' be abandoned by_cuu^„througjLjaifl chain fiabl*}^ ^ c y ^ after about two hours' ineffectual attempts to release it We then proceeded to another rock and landed. Scarcely had we done so before we heard the cry of a young seal right in our track and Just above high-water mark, and 1 took several photographs of it. We found no more, however, on this rock, and proceeded to a third, and here we found four, all close together. The old seals had selected a most accommodating nursery, where a sloping platform of huge rock slabs shelved down at a very gradual angle towards the sea, and where the young could bask In the sun during the greater part of the day. Theae youngsters varied in age from what appeared to be but a few.hoax* to about a week or eight dayl) &&d we were probably only just In time to get a shot at the biggest one, for they take to the water very soon after they are a week old. The adult seals give very little opportunity for observation, and leas for photographing. They are very fond of basking in the sun on a rock out of the wind, where they will lit for hours, until their for becomes quite-dry and looks like that of a rough sheep. The rocks on which they He and bask are such that they can float oil to them at half-ebb; and Immediately dive off in case they hear the least noise which* differs from that jnada by the murmur of the sen. gkftnetimes a single seal will occupy fifth a rock, while at others several will congregate together. I have seen Considerable numbers, perhaps ten or a doten; but a boatman told ma that he on<je saw at least- fifty, which, Wfee* they we» disturbed, came with a rttshdown oter the rocks into the JL vms&rat2>&A&y* keep their boat well out of the way for fear of swamping. Their food is, no doubt, almost entirely composed of fish, which they catch with consummate skill. F\or years a huge seal waa well known by the local fishermen from the fact that he would follow a boat and, time after time, help himself to the fish which had been hooked but had not yet reached the boat This brute certainly had no fear of appendicitis, for he deliberately swallowed Hie fish with the hook and often a considerable portion of the line. A monster which can with impunity swallow fish-hooks can scarcely be troubled with an appendix! But I think there is little doubt that the seal Is fond of fowl as well as fish, for I was told only lately of an incident which certainly points In that direction. A lady was sitting upon the rocks near the sea and was interested /-in the movements of a seal In the water below. He kept coming to the surface in the usual fashion and looking about him, and then sinking again. This he had been doing for a considerable time when a gull came and settled on the surface close by where the seal had just gone under. Without any sign whatever from above, the bird, all in a moment, disappeared beneath the water and was not seen again. This seems to show pretty conclusively that the seal had seized the bird from below, and, if so, with what purpose except as food? Though, as a rule, silent creatures, seals are sometimes noisy and bark like a big dog. I was once engaged In a lonely spot on wave photography, when' I was much surprised to hear what sounded like a big dog barking close to me. I felt sure no dog could be there, but was puzzled to know what it could be until I saw a large seal swimming close by and barking It-was Very rough and/huge breakers were tearing themselves into spray and thundering on the rocks, he seemed quite undisturbed by them, and his voice every now and again sounded above all the din. Young seals also bark, though not in the deep bass of their parents; m fact, it is sometimes a plaintive howl, almost like that ot a child in distress. They are also very pugnacious, for if two young seals which have been born a few yards apart are put together they immediately. begin to snap at each other, hissing and snarling in 8 most ferocious manner. The fur of the young seal is beautifully soft and silky, shining in the sun like white satin, but it soon becomes coarse. It would be interesting if one could watch seals in the same way that one watches and photographs birds, in a hiding tent or a shed, such as Dr. Heatherley and I used for the peregrine falcons, but I am afraid that it is impracticable. The difficulties I mentioned at starting concerning landing, equinoctial gales, etc., make it a bit too risky, to say nothing of the long, cold nights which one would have to spend without any artificial heat. In May the nights are short and the hours of sunshine long, out in October things are different, so that I fear the actual watching and photographing of the adult seal in his ocean haunts will not be accomplished just yet.

A Century Ago. On the eve of the New Tear, 100 years ago, London experienced one of the worst fogs in her history. The fog enveloped not only the city* of London, but a large part of England as well. For many years afterward k was referred to as the "fatal fog." For five days London was in complete darkness. Electric lights, of course, were unknown at that time, while gas had only recently been Introduced in the great British metropolis for street-lighting purposes. The primitive gaslights, however, were totally unable to penetrate the thick and heavy clo'ud of fog and smoke that hung like a pall over the city. Business was necessarily suspended and the people had to forego their customary occupations. Some of those Who ventured from their homes became lost and In their wanderings fell into the Thames and were drowned. Many others "were seriously injured by collisions In the streets. Government Ownership of Telegraphs Washington—Purchase by the government of the telephone systems of [-the country, except the "farmer" lines, and the establishment of a federal monopoly over all telephone, telegraph and wireless communications, are recommended in a report submitted to the senate Saturday by Postmaster General Burleson. The report is in compliance with the resolution of Senator Norris requesting information, and was made on findings of a departmental committee which studied the practicability of government ownership of telegraphs. Byron's Anti-Fat Diet. As we all know, one man's food Is another man's poison—and certainly the poet Byron's anti-fat diet would add layers of flesh to some of us. A story is told by some one who once acted as the poet's host at dinner. The meal was served and Byron refused dish after dish, asking for biscuits and soda water. But, as the host says, "neither meat, fish nor wine would he touch, and of biscuits and soda water, which he asked for, there had been unluckily no provision." Then Byron chose, as tbe-least Itkely io-meke hl» fat, potatoes—andl dressed them with vinegar. And of potatoes—the present-day fat man's bugaboo—-he made a good dinner. San Franeisco—Under the auspices of the Panama-Pacific exposition, a great race is planned for any type of motor-driven, air craft, around the world, starting from San Francisco, the Aero Club of America announced Sunday.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH &#W iH*< s SYNOPSIS. lieutenant Holton la detached from his fJmm&nd In the navy at the outset of the Jpanlsh-Amerlcaa war and assigned to miporta.nt secret service duty. CHAPTER IL The Girl and the Walter. At seven o'clock, in Immaculate evening attire, Holton set out from his club and sallied forth to the Willard. After studying the menu lovingly, and having devised a dinner suitable to the palate of one who had. followed the lure of Epicurus,in Vienna, Paris, and London, he turned from the card and lighting a cigarette and sipping a cocktail, he gazed about the room. At one table he saw the French ambassador and a company of his Gallic friends. Near by young Pembroke, of the British embassy, was dining a girl Holton had met/ To his left sat a dark-skinned, sleek-appearing man with close-cropped Vandyke beard. He bad been pointed out to Holton in Paris as a man wh<Thad plans of German forte at Kiel for sale. The young officer wondered what he was doing here. Altogether the atmosphere, Holton decided, was Just as it should be, Just as the capital of a country should act when the government stands on the brink of international war. * Holton had Just dispatched his first oyster when his attention was attracted by a musical little laugh to a table about twenty feet away from him. A girl, slightly above the medium height, with slender resilient figure, was standing with her back to him, talking to her escort, a well-built man of fifty odd, with Iron-gray hah* and beard, and the dark features of the Latin. She was a beauty. Holton, connoisseur of femininity though he was, admitted that without hesitation. Her hair was not the coal-black hair of her race, but a shining, golden deep brown, which lay upon her head in thick* waving convolutions, Her eyes were blue-gray, set off by long, dark lashes, and fine brows, which, ran with delicate arches to the straight, finely modeled nose. Her lips were colored by nature, pure coral, and her teeth flashed as she spoke. "It's absurd, father, for you to mind. I can wait here as well as anywhere else—although I shan't promise not to occupy myself by dining." The father shrugged. "Well," he said at length, 'It Is quite necessary, Ranee, and I shan't be gone long, but If yon mind HI take you back to the hotel." "Not at all, not all," she protested. "Ii!a -so bright .and interesting here, and you'll return soon, anyway. No, go on, father, and I'll eat"—she smiled radiantly—"very slowly until you return." Her cheeks had flushed with animation, and the purity of her coloring, as well as the whiteness of her skin, convinced Holton that If her father ware Spanish, or Cuban, or something Lett*, the girl unquestionably was the daughter of an Anglo-Saxon mother. With a gesture that amounted almost to carelessness, she had tossed a gold mesh hand-bag dn the table, and now as she glanced over the card It was quite concealed from her view. Holton returned to his oysters, not, however, neglecting occasional glances at thajradlant creature who had been left, as ha inwardly phrased.it, high and dry by her father. VI should think," he murmured, "that le'd be afraid someone would steal her. X—I, by George! Td like to, you know." Which thought thrilled him out of ail proportion to the amount of good sense k> contained It was at about thjs point that Holton's gase fell upon the waiter attending the young woman. He was one of those interesting persons to be seen occasionally hi great restaurants who seem to be above their calling". There was a Mddea something, passing phases of fmttal expression, a oertainSMwewient of the shoulders* an* above all, a firm-footed but light tread, alt of which seemed to Helton to Indicate « man misplaoed. . fie felt certain af this a moment later, when the gM agate lifted th* menu and the waiter stepped to the) comer of the taste, upon which the) rold bag lay.

Holton wasted no time in thought Quickly springing up he approached the young woman's table, and nodding to her ai to an old acquaintance, he placed bis hand lightly upon the wait- receptions." er s arm. * "Wait a moment," said Holton pleasantly. The girl in the meanUndgjhad been Btaring at the young officer in wideeyed wonderment. "What—what does this mean?" she asked finally. "Your bag," said Holton's quietly, "was on this table, was it not?" The girl leaned forward with a gasp. "Why—why, yes," she said. "Why— itrs gone." She looked up at Holton with startled eyes. "If s gone," she repeated, her voice beginning to rise. Holton smiled reassuringly and nodded. "Please don't be alarmed," he said, "it is all right." He turned to the waiter. "This man evidently regarded your bag as among the* debris to-be cleared from the table. Rather stupid, of course, but then, If he were not stupid he wouldn't be a waiter, you know." "What do you mean, sir!" exclaimed the man, flushing. Holton laughed and tightened his grip on the waiter's arm. "Come, come," he said. 'Take that bag out of your coat and put It on the table or 111 make a spread-eagle of you." "Give me my bag/' aald the girl, her eyes flashing. Without a word the waiter reached his hand inside his Jacket, and bringing forth the missing article, laid it on the table, "There," he said, "I thought someone had left it and I was- going to take it to the desk." "Rata," commented Holton. "Do you wish him arrested V* he added, glancing at the girl. The young woman thought a moment and then shook her head. "No, thank you, I think not," she said. "I should hate to appear In proceedings, and after all, no harm has been done. It may be he was sincere in removing the bag." Holton regarded her sharply and saw that she really believed in the She was speaking in perfect English, with Just the faintest accent. "Perhaps so," granted Holton. Then he took the bit in his teeth. "My name is Appleton," he said; "I'm a lieutenant in the army." "And I," she said, "am Miss La Tossa. I think I—at least, I remember seeing you at one of the White House Norton Tightened Mis Oris on the Water's Arm. - • *• man's guilt, but was averse to carrying the matter further^ ' "AH right," he said; releasing hi* grip upon the waiter's arm. "Now, then, you ge-and attend to your duties —and be sure yon don't nut any poison in this young lady's food." The waiter turned away with an evil esewt, aad Hot** bowed- and wag •bout to go to his tebterwhen the girl smHed at him radtenttr/ "I have not thankedvyosj yet for your kindness," she said. • <Oh,itwunothin*ataM,"ms*nded Holton, "But it was," ahe insisted.

You have rendered me a great favor tonight, and. that is quite sufficient. But you do not remember me, and so please do not try to make me think youjdo." "All right," said Holton, "I won't. But—but you will not think me presuming if I said I should like to—hereafter." '•" "I should like to have you know me/J she said simply. The unexpected nature of this remark quite unhorsed the young officer, and for a second no words came to his tongue, "Thank you," he said lamely. She regarded him in smiling silence. "But I'm afraid," she said then, "that your knowledge will be limited to this evening. I wish, really wish, it would be otherwise." She sighed. "It would be so nice to be like other girls. But father and I are birds of passage, here one day, there the next I shall be so glad to be home once more." "Home?" Holton looked nt her inquiringly. "Yes, my home is near Santiago. We are outside Cuabitas." "Oh! Holton flushed for some reason or other. "Good-by, Mr. Appleton," she said. "I am grateful to you—I am thankful. You have been very good. But now you must go, really." "May I not call?" asked Holton. "I recognise the informality of our meeting, and I do not wish you to think me forward, but I really—" "I thank you, Mr. Appleton," she said; "but, no—these things cannot be." There was a note of finality in her voice and a trace of pathos, both of which Holton caught "Of course, Miss La Tossa, I shall do as you say. But I am sorry." He paused. "And will you please remember this: If you ever need assistance in any way, and I am within reach, will you call upon met" — "I thank you," she replied. "You are most kind. I shall remember what you have said." Holton drew a card-case from his pocket "When I told you my name was Appleton," he said, "I acted upon impulse, but intended no insult My real name and my address are contained here," and he placed a card in front of her. The girl glanced at the bit of pasteboard, and then started. She looked up at Holton with a frightened expression. "Lieutenant Holton," she said. "Why, I thought—" She paused. "You thought?" prompted Holton. "1—I thought—" She paused again, then her expression changed, aad she smiled at him. '1 thought you said yoot name- was Appleton." "As I explained, I did tall you that," girl and the strange nature of their ta terview. While Holton was engaged la thought Miss La Tossa's waiter, as though to make up for his misconduct, proved a most excellent servitor. Hi seemed, in fact, to take especial pride in attending to the service with all thi skin at hip command, with the result that the girl, who was in large degrei an epicure, rewarded him with a pleas ant smile. Her father Joined her at coffee, sad it was then, while waiting for an or der, that this strange waiter penciled the following telegram. upon a pad which he carried in his pocket: "Holton at Willard. Scorpion evi dently not going to Key West. Failed with girl. But all working well." This went to Key West. The waitet returned to the dining-room, and spent all his spare time standing within ear shot of the table at which Miss h* Tossa and her father were seated. The two were guests at the hotel. Just before they arose the fathei said something which brought th4 waiter rigid. He listened for the re ply, and then with a broad smile ha hurried to the serving-table for finger bowls, as demanded by a fussy gentle man at a table in front of him. As for Holton, he was smoking a long cigar and, gazing thoughtfully at the ceiling, trying to determine where he had seen the face of that waiter before. * • • • • • • • When Holton entered the ballroom of the Willard the orchestra from behind its shelter of palms was sending Trying to Determine Where He Had Seen the Face Before. forth the stirring notes of Souse's "Stars and Stripes," whose popularity was then at the apex, and the floor was filled with whirling couples. A few minutes late, all other thoughts flashed from his mind as the girl be had met in the restaurant passed in at the door on the arm of her father. She was smiling animatedly, and was at once surrounded by a group of young men, mainly foreigners, all clamoring for one or more dances. "By George!" ejaculated Holton under his breath. "I'm for that young lady without any doubt at all" Twice he started to move toward her, only to be anticipated by some equally ardent young gallant, and it was not until the music of a waltz had ceased and her partner had begun to cast his eyes about the room for the woman whose name appeared next on his card that Holton saw his opportunity. Stepping quickly across the floor, he confronted her with a bow, seeing which the partner bowed in turn and disappeared. "Mr. Apple—Mr. Holton!" she exclaimed. "What a surprise!" "Not an unpleasant one, I hope,** smiled Holton in reply. "Of course not," she answered, placing her card in the officer' outstretched hand. "Thank you." Holton glanced quickly down the list of names. "I see the twelfth, thirteenth, aad fourteenth dances are not taken. May I have them?" "All?" She arched her eyebrows* but sailed, as if pleased. r< "Certainly, all," said the young man To Pipe Smokers $,RGL.G)r<? sT FRUIT j _rt' W'H^Or- ^ H Q » ' said Holton. ."it was an Impulse* and ^ . ^ w i ^ i i - «..„.• M „..«- -,„ M no harm was,intended.

Little Everett was a member of the Band of Mercy society, and was proud of the membership. He wore his badge, a small star, as if it were a policeman's insignia, and was often heard reproving other boys and girls for cruel treatment of dogs and cats. One morning a woman of the neighborhood heard a commotion outside Everett's home, and, going to the window, was surprised to find Everett in the act of tormenting the cat. "Why, Everett," she called, "what are you doing to that poor cat? I thought you belonged to the Band of Mercy society.'* "I did," replied the little boy, "but I lost my star."—Llppincott's. B-zz.

LIMITS OF THE HUMAN VISION. There Are Colors All About Us That the Eye Cannot See, as Wo Cannot Distinguish Beyond the Extremes of the Spectrum Red and Violet, No two persons see precisely alike any more than any two persons near precisely the same. The differences in these perceptions are due to the wide disparities not only in the organs of vision and hearing, but also to the differences In mental makeup of the individuals. There are more unsolved problems as to sight than any other sense. It Is the most wonderful and at the same time the most inexplicable sense that we possess. Every school child is taught that we see because rays of light reach the retina of the eye after passing through the transparent cornea, that curved surface which is in direct contact with the external air. the aqueous or watery humor, and the crystalline and vitreous humors. The eye is thus made up of three separate lenses, through which the ligtit passes before reaching the retina. When observed from outside It is plain that all the Images appear to be reversed in the eye. We see everything .upside down, but in some way this reversal is corrected, so that things appear to us as they should, though this simple point has not yet been explained by the most advanced science. But the eye sees not only images and light; it also distinguishes color. And here is one of the greatest problems with which the eye has to deal. The white light of a ray of sunshine is divided by a prism into all of the colors from red to violet, and it Is one of the greatest triumphs of modern optics to have proved thafc what we call color is nothing but the speed with which some parts of the ray of sunshine strike upon the retina. The eye can perceive waves striking it as low as red and as high as violet, but there are many rays both above and below the red /and violet the extremes of the spectrum, as they are called. The human eye cannot perceive these because the lengths of the waves or the frequency with which they strike upon the retina are too great or too small for the human organ. Yet they are most important, exercising a great Influence upon human beings. The ultra violet rays are known now by their chemical action and are termed chemical rays, while the infra red rays are heat rays and are known as such. So it is evident that there is much that tlje eye does not or cannot see, even with nil the mechanical aids which have been provided in telescope, microscope, etc. What really carries the message of vision to the brain center of vision, which is at the back of the head, Is the optic nerve, and the fact that if ydiu have n pain in the back of the head it Is probably due to eye strain is admitted b.v all physicians, if you feel that strain and headache located at the occiput the first tiling to do is to consult an oculist and get the glasses which will correct the error of vision Your eyes may be wrong in any mim ber-of-w^ysr-Eitlierthere-rnfly^be^ defect In some one of the lenses or the nerve may have become weakened or the muscles of accommodation b.v which the eye is Recused may be wrong. The last is probably the com monest of troubles and may be easily corrected If promptly taken in hand by an expert. Cross eyes are only defects of mus cnlar control, and the tatest researches point to the necessity for correcting this defect as promptly as possible Many parents make the fatal mistake of not calling in the specialist even whju they notice that an infant "crosses the eyes." But it is in the early stages that this trouble may bo ^ best corrected; otherwise the muscles become fixed in their error and the defect Is permanent It is never too early t o put glasses upon the child who requires them. It Is often too late to save the child from permanent injury of the most beautiful, most 1 pressive and most useful organ.—New York World.

Bmniitf 120,000 Soldier^ T was that blazing hot first day of July, 1898. Shatter's little army was tearing its way through the tropic jungle and up the heights toward where lay the Spanish riflemen defending Santiago de Cuba. At what since came to be known as "Moody Bend" in the path of the American advance there was a break in the foliage. Directly in the line of the "pantsh tire it lay. And so thick was lie jungle that the" advancing troops I a.d to cross) this open space. • * * Untrained in warfare, many untrained even in what is now regarded as primary principles of combat, brave but untaught and unprepared as Americans ever have been in the earlier stages of their wars, the new enlisted men from New York and Michigan and Oklahoma and Arizona and all the union met here the supreme test. Scores fell before the enemy's fire. What was needed most was intelligent leadership, and skilled leaders were -woefully few. The sacrifice of life went on, for lack of knowledge to cope with an unexpected military situation. There came on the scene First Lieut. Albert L. Mills, First United States cavalry, holding rank as cap* tain aiid assistant adjutant general of volunteers, and attached to the staff of General Shatter. Four years at West Point and 19 years as a subaltern .officer of cavalry serving In the far- west—hard, studious, working years—united with natural capacity and fitness, had made him a cool, resourceful, skillful, trained military leader. He knew the business of war. At once he began to bring order out of chaos. He showed the men how to take cover. He directed a return fire. The advance, temporarily checked, was resumed. Then a Spanish bullet crashed through his head. It tore away one eye and temporarily blinded the other. But he refused to leave the spot where he was so urgently needed. Sight- Jess, a bloody bandage wound about his brow, he remained and continued his work of directing the troops as they came along. The scene has been perpetuated In picture and in written description. It stands out as one of the moat vivid land splendid incidents of the war of [1898. "For distinguished gallantry in action near Santiago de Cuba, July 1, [1898, in encouraging those near him by his bravery and coolness after beting shot through the head and entirely without sight." That is the notation on the record in the war depart- Intent in explanation of the award of fthe congressional medal of honor to (this ©IBcer.. Was he any more brave than scores land hundreds of others who participated in the operations at Santiago? (PPrroobhaib~l y not, but h*, better than so many others, knew how to do the job fwhich the American forces had set tout to accomplish on that day. It fwas his knowledge, his military skill, Kjuite as much as his coolness and his ^disregard of his own sufferings, that [brought him distinction. t The government at Washington, jthese lessons fresh In its mind, contotaled that the man who had done twhat Mills had done at Bloody Bend [was the sort of man needed to train [future army officers. So, advancing (him to the rank of colonel, the war (department in the autumn of 1898, [when his one remaining eye had healed, sent him to West Point as [superintendent of Ae finest military Academy in the world. There he re* Imalned for eight years. •' In 1904 he was advanced to the {grade of brigadier general. Now; after two years of departmental command in the Philippines and three year* of tithe doty la the department of the )smlf, general Mills la back at his old toecupation of supervtslsg the training K young Americans !h the boainess war. i But It la in a larger field. Instead jdf directing the lnteaaive training of ispreral hundred prcepoctlve officers of ;ti>e regular army he le In charge of •tie federal activities that assist the jfffttSofea] Guards of the various states (fi attaining military prodelane?. Apimately 180,000 NaiSoaal Oeards* are the material With which be working,- It Is a larger force than regular army. flossetbing ingrained in the fiber of [Ikb-speaklag peoples makes them to the maintenance of large tions, the invention of intricate and powerful new engines of war; the need, as revealed by studies and experience of military sanitation; the development of new and swift methods of transportation—all these have changed the character of the soldier's business. He must know more today than he ever knew before. The idea of the soldier as mere "food for powder" long ago became obsolete. A higher training is required. Our little standing army, therefore, is today regarded more as a training school and a model for the larger military force that will be necessary in our next war than as the country's chief land defense dependence. From the citizens must come the big fighting for^ce. In our every war we have sent untrained citizens into the field at the beginning. The resulting loss of life, largely because of the ignorance of how to live under military field conditions, has been shocking. The financial loss in prolongation of the war, in temporary setbacks, in expense of Improvising field armies from nothing, in pension rolls, has been stupendous. Lack of preparedness was the cause. Preparedness, then, Is the aim and purpose of the military authorities of the United States. They are trying, so far as congress and public opinion will permit, to profit by the awful lessons of the past. They are trying to make the regular army a perfect military force- and to make the National Guard, otherwise the organized militia, Just as well trained as any body of citizen soldiers can be trained. Results are being achieved. There has been an organized militia of sorts ever since this became a constitutional republic. The organizing of it ever has been in the hands of the states, however, and the states have had varying ideas of what sort of a military force should be maintained in the guise of organized militia. The war of 1898 showed up the defects of our military system in a glaring fashion. This resulted In the passage of the new militia law of 1903, known as the Dick bill, really organizing the militia force. By this act larger federal assistance was given to the militia of the states and a large r measure- of- Triittary-elficTeTic^y-required of those forces in return for that aid. In 1908 the law was amended and improved. A national militia board, consisting of militia officers appointed by the secretary of war, was authorized to advise with the war department on militia affairs. And also the division of militia affairs in the war department was created to handle the subject • • • It is this division which Brig. Gen. Albert I. Mills now heads. Federal aid is now extended to the organized militia or National Guards of the various states to the extent of about $5,000,000 a year. Of this about $2,500,000 is expended for arms, equipment, camp purposes and maneuvers, about $500,000 for the promotion of rifle practice, something like $600,- 000 for ammunition and more than $1,000,000 for supplies. The result of the new laws has been to bring the National Guard force Into closer and more Intimate relation with the regular army, to make it more uniform in organisation, discipline and equipment and to, establish standards of eflcleacy, ta which all elements are working. General Mills himself, fn his erect carriage, griisled hair, stiff, gray, military^ mustache^ firm jaw and strongly lined mouth, Is the ideal soldier. In speech he is careful and deUberataj In action sure, determined, rapid. ?"A strong character" in the estimate of the observer.

"As viewed from the standpoint of the national government, we have an organized militia to take part with the army as the first line of defense in case of any national emergency," replied the general. "To maintain ourselveB," he continued, "until the great mass of volunteers which is certain to be needed to carry on any war with a foreign power can be enlisted, organized, equipped and trained. "The organized militia is to be distinguished from the unorganized militia. The latter embraces the manhood of the country. Since 1792 every male citizen of the United States between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive, who is physically sound, has been a member of the unorganized militia. "The organized militia includes the National Guards of the several states. Its reported strength is 120.000. The law of 1903 makes this a more formidable arm than its prototype ever was before. The war department recognizes it as a potent force which, with proper support by congress, can be made a real national military asset. Only those elements of the National Guard which participate in the federal appropriations and conform in organization, armament and equipment with what is prescribed for the regular army are recognized by the war department as part of the organized militia. This takes in, however, ajmost all the so-called National Guard organizations in the country. "The policy of the war department Is to make the organized militia an efficient force for national military purposes. The department is without authority to increase the strength of the organized militia, it being withiu the province of each state, under the constitution, to determine what sized force it shall have. The purpose of the department is to seek to make effective the Intention of congress, as expressed in existing laws, afid assist the states In so organizing, arming, equipping and training their National Guards that these Independent forces, when needed, can pass, without reorganization, smootftly and easily into the federal service. "The division of militia affairs is the machinery through which the war department exercises its supervision over and discharges its responsibilities to the organized militia. The division 1B one of the four co-ordinate branches of the office of the chief of staff of the army. Its duties are com* prehensive. They fall naturally into two classes. One Is administrative and the other instructional. "Administrative embraces all the details connected with the supervision of disbursements of federal funds, the organization of the National Guard in the various states, and their equipment with arms, ammunition, uniforms and camp equipage generally. "The aim of the instructional efforts Is to assist the states in securing, a trained and efficient field force. Under the constitution the authority for training the militia is in the hands of the states, but It must be of the kind that Is prescribed by congress for the army. "With this in view, there are assigned to each state specially qualified and selected officers to do duty as inspector- inatnetorsi assisting the states In this practical way, and enabling them in the matter of training to keep in touch with the most modern methods pursued In the army. "The result of federal assistance afforded the organised militia is that It has greatly increased the efficiency of the force. Jt is progresstag so well alon#'these lines that, with oonttaued assistance by congress and a recognition of. that assistance by the states, the nation will have a4ep*noable field force, certainly one Infinitely better than any new organisation, filed up with nntraiaed erttsena, could be cute be." GASOLINE IN TH£ KITCHfcN As a Cleanser, Nothing Is Better Than This Material, Though It Must Be Carefuily Handled. A can of gasoline in the kitchen for cleaning purposes will be found a great help if ordinary care is exercised against fire. To clean the gas stove, soak the Jets in a little gasoline, and it will remove all dirt and do away with any odor from the gas range, or scrub the jets with a little bru&h dipped in gasoline. To clean copper or aluminum cooking utensils, soak a cloth in gasoline and rub on the outside of the vessel. This will remove all black or discoloration from the metal. For grease marks Qr dirty spots on woodwork a little gasoline applied with a cloth will remove them at once. If the drain in the sink becomes stopped up, remove all water from the sink and pour in a pint or more of gasoline and let it stand. This will cut the cause of stoppage in a little while. Before blacking a stove or range rub off the top with a cloth wet with gasoline, and it will remove all dirt and grease and make the blacking stay on longer. Be careful to keep all gasoline away from the fire. RECIPES FOR APPLE BUTTER Two Different Methods of Preparing Delicacy That Have Equal Amount of Merit Cook these in the usual way as for apple sauce, but if you have any fresh apple Juice boiled down to a syrup, cook them in it, as it improves the flavor. For six quarts of cooked apples, then take one pint of good cider vinegar and two and one-half pounds of brown sugar. Boil all down to one gallon, and when thick and nearly done season to taste with cinnamon or other spice desired and put up in jars like Jam. It will keep well for any length of time. Another way is tula: Boil new cider down to one-half quantity. Pare, cut and core equal quantities of sweet and sour apples. Put the sweet apples into a large kettle to soften a little first, as they are the hardest. Add enough, boiled cider to cook them In. After boiling half an hour, stirring often, put in the sour apples, and add more boiled cider, with molasses enough to sweeten moderately. Boll until tender, stirring to prevent burning. — Fruit Dainty. Four tablespoonfuls gelatine, one lemon, one large, Juicy orange and one pound granulated sugar. Take two-thirds of cup cold water and soak gelatine five minutes. Mix sugar with two-thirds of cup of cold water, and at the boiling point add the soaked gelatine. Boil 20 minutes, slowly but Bteadily. Add grated rind and juice of the orange and the juice of the lemon—you should have onehalt of a large cup of juice. Wet a tin with cold water and pour In the mixture to the depth of one inch. When firmly set immerse the mold in warm water and turn out.

This may be served with brown gravy or tomato sauce. Seasoning a Fowl. In seasoning a fowl, the ,flavor may be improved by rubbing well into the flesh, salt and pepper, to which ginger has been added. A Bpoonful of vinegar In the water in which fowl are boiled makes them tender. String Dishcloth. An excellent dishcloth Is made of common string knitted on bone needles.

Jackson, Mich.—Michigan Central passenger train No. 70. due from Bay City here at 10:05 Sunday night, met head-on three miles north of Jackson a freight train which left here at 8:30. Five persons were killed outright and a Bcore or more injured, some of them fatally. The wreck occurred near the crossing of the M. C. with the Grand Trunk, known as the M. A. L. crossing. Railroad officials state the wreck was probably due to a misunderstanding of train orders. The first news of the wreck came over the phone from a farmer, who was too excited to tell his name to tne police. A special train with doctors was quickly made up and sent to the scene An interurban on the M. U. T. brought in the first load of injured. It was a special sent as relief from Lansing. Many persons-at 1 a. m. were still pinioned in the wreckage and on account of darkness, the work of rescue was very slow. The impact of the collision telescoped the baggage car and a day coach, and all the passengers in (he latter were either killed or injured. Every available ambulance in the city was put in commission, One took Ave to the City hospital, another three and the police, after midnight, assisted in caring for several more.

The allurements of city life were attractive, until they faced the stern reality. These people would have done better had they remained on the farm. Many of them, convinced of this, are now getting "back to the land," and in the experience, no better place offers nor better opportunity afforded, than that existing in Western Canada. Many of them have taken advantage of it, and there are to be found today, hundreds of such, farming in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The conditions that surround farming operations today are BO much superior to those in existence during their early farming days, that there is an attraction about it. Improved machinery, level and open plains, no rocks to shun, no trees to cut down, but wide stretches with* mile-long furrows, elevators to handle the grain, railways to carry it to market, and bring almost to their doors the things necessary to operate. Splendid grazing areas, excellent opportunities for raising cattle. These things are all so different from what they once were that there is reason to speak of the attractions. R. H. Crossman of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, the man who won such splendid prizes at the International Dry Farming Congress held at Tulsa, Oklahoma, last fall, grew the prize grains during his first year farming. Up to 1913 he was an engineer and the only knowledge he had of farming was that obtained when he was a boy. That was very useful; in fact it was valuable to him. He had not forgotten it. Thousands with as little experierice as he had can do well by taking up one of the 160-acre grants offered by the Canadian government. — Advertisement.

Round about Shlraz, as far as Ispahan, southward to the country of the date palm, a great deal of opium is grown, and several thousand chests are shipped from Shlraz to China and various other large centers of the trade every season. The collecting of the opium juice begins in June, when* the flowers having faded and the leaves fallen, the poppy heads are ready to be bled. When the sun stands low on the western horizon the men with the tools start their work, making one or two Incisions ID the fleshy green skin of the heads on the side toward the setting sun. During the cool night hours the brown, strong smelling viscous Juice oozes out and collects in pearl-like drops on the surface of the seed vessel. Before the rising sun gains sufficient power to dry or crystallize the sticky substance the gathering is In full rwing. Stepping carefully from plant to plant, the men gather the opium on the broad blades of their crescent shaped collecting knives, which have an upturned back about an inch high to prevent the juice from dropping off. As soon as a knife is full it is handed to the owner of the field or his foreman, who stnnds among the collectors to see that none of the precious drops are hidden away by the workers to Increase their daily wages. As soon as the morning work is over the fields are deserted until the afternoon, when new incisions have to be made. Each plant is tapped twice, and a large poppy head gives from twenty to thirty grains of opium.—Christian Herald. LOOKS LIKE A SEA OF ICE. lllfimlHUHH S P E C I JBk.

BARNARD It's a Pleasure and "action Bake with Curious Lake of 8oda to the Wltds of East Africa. Lake Magadi, in British East Africa, is famous for its vast deposits of soda. Until recently few people have^ seen its shores, for it lies in the midst of a barren and waterless district, but the railway that was started a few years ago by an English company opens the way for travelers to this curious natural phenomenon. A recent visitor describes it in the London Field: Ordinarily it looks as If it had frozen and as if snow had then fallen upon it, partially thawed and frozen again The temperature gives the lie to this appearance of roughened ice, for the heat is extreme and at midday almost unbearable. The,.soda burns the feet even through a boot, and the sharp, projecting spikes, which resemble hoar frost, will pierce any except the thickest sole. After the rains there is a layer of water over the greater part of the lake, which turns a lovely pink color. By moonlight the scene is weirdly beautiful. The lake contains atvl&st 200,000,000 tons of crystalline substance, composed almost equally of carbonate and bicarbonate of soda. Surface and under ground streams of saturated soda liq uor continually feed It. The present supply of soda is enormous, and as fast as it is removed a new surface, formed from the "mother liquid" beneath, replaces it. Natives have col iected soda from the same spot year after year without making the slightest difference in the abundance of the supply.

Washington, Jan. 2f—The program laid down by the president in his recent message to congress was embodied in the administration's trust bills presented to congress. The bills have received the approval of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic leaders of both houses of congresB. With little modification they will be enacted into law. Their purposes are: 1. Definition of unlawful monopoly or restraints of trade. S. Prohibition of unfair trade practice. 3. Creation of an interstate trade commission. 4. Regulation of corporation didectorates and prohibition of interlocking directorates. Unlawful Monopoly Defined. Unlawful monopoly is defined BB ation or agreement Derations, firms, or persons for the following purposes: $. T5fr create or carry out restrictions in tratte or to acquire a monopoly in any interstate trade, business, or commerce. 2. To limit or reduce the production or increase the price of merchandise or of any commodity. 3. To prevent competition in manufacturing, making, transporting, selling, or purchasing of merchandise, produce, or any commodity. 4. To make any agreement, enten into any arrangement, or arrive at any understanding by which they, directly or indirectly, undertake to prevent a free and unrestricted competition among themselves or among any purchasers or consumers in the sale, production, or transportation of any product, article, or commodity. The penalty for violation of the law is fixed at not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for one year or both. Guilt is made personal through a section that whenever a corporation shall be guilty of the violation of the law the offense shall be deemed to cover the individual directors, officers, and agents of such corporation, as authorizing, ordering, or doing the prohibited acts, and they shall be punished as prescribed above. A paragraph prohibiting holding companies is to be added to this measure. Covers Unfair Trade Practices. The bill forbidding unfair trade practices declares that to discriminate in price, between different purchasers of commodities, with the purpose or intent to injure or destroy a competitor; either of the purchaser or of the seller, shall be deemed an attempt to monopolize interstate commerce. It is specifically declared that the law Is not intended to prevent discrimination in price between purchasers of commodities "on account of difference in the grade, quality, or quantity of the commodity sold, or that makes only due allowance fbr difference in the cost of transportation." Further, it is prescribed that noih-_ ing con^aTaed intheact shall prevent per80¾8 from selecting their own customers, "but this provision shall not authorize the owner or operator of any mine engaged in selling its product in interstate or foreign commerce to refuse arbitrarily to sell the same to a responsible person, ilrm, or corporation, who applies to purchase." An attempt at monopoly also is declared to exist for any person to make a sale of goods, wares, or merchandise or fix a .price charged therefor, or discount from or rebate upon such prfte, on the condition or understanding that the purchaser thereof shall not deal In the poods, wares, or merchandise of a competitor or competitors of the seller. Dealt W i t h Damage Suits. A Judgment against any defendant in a suit brought under the anti-trust law the bill provides shall constitute as against such defendant conclusive evidence of the same facts and be conclusive as to the same issues of law. in favor of any other party In any other proceeding brought under and involving the provisions of the law. For the benefit of parties Injured In their business or property, by any per- •onjor corporation found guilty of vioV latin* the law the statute of limltatk> njr*ppUcabIe to such cases shall be Injunctive relief is accorded against threatened lots or damage by a violation of Oe act under the sa^e conditions and principles that Injunctive relief against threatened conduct which wijs- cauae toes *>r damage Is granted iyti/Wtii* •Wit* > .WUfcqf ttyt a prpper bond gfeffll be>e*ecuted against damages for an li^gCtktt'iunwo^Mwut^y* granted, «B4 it mujt be shown that the danger . (;;• of irreparable loss or damage is immediate. Hits Interlocking Directorates. Concerning directorates, the bill on that subject, which is to become effective two years from date of* approval of the act, provides:. "No person engaged as an Individ ual or as a member of a partnership or as a director or other officer of a corporation in the business of selling railroad cars or locomotives, or railroad rails or structural steel, or mining or selling coal, or conducting a bank or trust company, shall act as '•'• director or other officer or employe of any railroad or other public service corporation which conducts an interstate business. "No person shall at the same time be a director or other officer or employe in two or more federal reserve banks, national banks, or banking associations, or other banks or trust companies which are members of any reserve bank; and a private banker and a person who is a director in any state bank or trust company not operating under the provisions of the recent currency law shall not be eligible to Berve as a director in any bank or banking association or trust company operating under the provisions of the law." Violation of these sections is made punishable by a fine of $100 a day, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.

The trust bills as framed will be the subject of sharp criticism on the part of progressives of all parties who claim they do not go far, enough. It will be declared that the definition of monopoly remains inadequate that the prohibition of unfair ts?ade practice does not. cover this evil in our economic life that interlocking stock control is not covered and that the powers of the proposed trade commission are insufficient.

The train, crowded with wealthy business men, was at the mercy of the highwaymen for 15 minutes between 1:30 and 1:45 a. m. The porter, Thomas Merritt, was forced at the piont of a pistol to waken the passengers and ask them for their valuables, while the bandit supported his requests with the revolver. The bandit had robbed half a dozen men, getting about $700, when Lloyd Tombs, another porter who had been (•imprisoned, escaped and saved the remainder of the passengers from being held up by pulling the bell cord and setting the emergency brakes.

In connection with the trade commission President Wilson declared in his message that the country "demands suck a commission only as an Indispensable instrument of information and publicity as a clearing house for this facts by which both the public mind and the managers of great business undertakings should be guided." The bill prescribes that the commission acts are to constitute a "public record". but the body is authorized to make public the information "in such form and to such extent as may be necessary" or "by direction of the attorney general."

Lansing, Mich.—The annual report of State Game and Forestry Warden William R. Oates, sent to Gov. Ferris recently, shows the annual loss in the state occasioned by forest fires has dropped from $3,400,000 in 1911 to less than $23,000 in* 1913, which is less than half what it was in 1912, when a reduction had been made to $67,000. For years the annual fire loss in Michigan forests had averaged more than a million dollars each year. The report shows that the past year was one of unprecedented drouth and Oates Bays that the cause of the remarkable reduction in fire loss must be assigned to working agencies rather than conditions. He says the* department cannot allege more than nominal credit in all fairness in the decrease of forest fires, but submits that the curbing, suppression and prevention of forest fires and the reduced loss is due to a systematic and thorough organization of the township supervisors of the forest district, who act as local fire wardens and the aid of the educational posters and literature on the suppression of forest fires, which are placed through the various forest districts by the township committees.

VERDIER LAW IS UPHELD Supreme Court Approves Measure which Makes Municipal Ownership of Utilities Possible. Great Michigan Athlete Dead. Detroit, Mfch.—Neil W. Snow, the greatest all-around athlete who ever represented the University of Michigan jm_dJaj3pndJL on J:rack-or-on-gridi, died Thursday in the office of Dr. C. G. Jennings. He. was taken in the twinkling of an eye, Just as he had turned to the desk telephone in the physician's office to notify his wife that he would be a little late for dinner. It is generally believed that Mr. Snow died from what is known as an athletic heart, that he. was the victfm of too fine training in his earlier day. He graduated from Ann Arbor in 1899 and was in his thirty fourth year. Lansing, Mich.—The Verdier home" rule bill was sustained in every particular by the supreme court Friday. The judges differ in some minor details of reasoning. Some give a broader construction to the law than others, but at least five of the judged go farther in declaring the bill valid | than did the Wayne circuit court. The majority opinion of the su- ! preme court, written by Justioe Moore I and concurred in on this point by Jus- I tices Steere, Stone, Ostrander and Bird, declares that the city has 2 per cent of its assessed valuation clear ot all other debts for purchase of a public utility. The statutory limitation on the debt of cities is 8 per cent. Judge Moore declares that, under the Verdier law, if a city's bonding limit is already 8 per cent for general purchases, it can go to 10 per cent for purchase of a specific utility, These five judges sustain the bill in every other particular also. The practical result of this decision is to give Detroit an unquestioned total of nearly $10,000,000 money to be raised by general bond issue, to make the initial payment in purchase of a street railway. Among other things the law provides that amendments to a city charter may be voted on one at a time.

Kope and Disappointment. Lieutenant Thomas Holton, com* mander of the Scorpion, made as though to place the dispatch in his pocket, then, taking pity upon his "second," who was all eyes, he turned the paper over to his Junior lieutenant, known throughout the flotilla as "Bobby" Frost. "You will leave Newport News at ten o'clock tonight with the destroyer Scorpion and proceed south to the parent ship of the First Torpedo Boat Flotilla off Key, West, prepared for action ." Thia order was warmly welcomed by Holton and by his second in command of the grim, lead-colored Scorpion. "It looks like business, doesn't it?" observed Frost, with tentative inflection in his voice. "It does, sure," chuckled Holton. "I'm glad we had those baffle-plates fixed In the boiler. I suppose we might as well have the warheads fixed on the torpedoes, too. The orders say 'prepare for action.' Attend to it, wilt you, Frost?" "Aye, aye, air," and Frost hurried along the grimy, oily deck to the after companionway. The somewhat Informal nature of the dialogue between the two will be forgiven by the fastidious when It is pointed out that for a month the Scorpion had been laying at Newport News on detached duty of a confidential nature under direct orders from Washington, and that Holton's sole companion aboard ship in that time had been bis young second. But the period of loneliness was evidently to end in a burst of glory and Lieutenant Holton was truly thankful. In the preceding month the mighty battle-ship Maine had wallowed down into the slimy ooze of Havana Harbor, a great hole torn in her forward compartments. In her lay one of Holton's Vest friends, a shipmate of pleasant days following graduation at the Naval Academy. The cry, "Remember the Maine," was sounding from Maine Itself to California. The entire country was on the qui vive. Osgood, the Hero of many an American football gridiron, had, as a Cuban volunteer, given up his life at the side of a mar chine gun; Frederick Funstonhad served valiantly against the tyrants of Caatile and Aragon, and other Americans hsM given evidence that the fighting spirit was by no meanB dormant in tne heart of a nation of "pigs and tradesmen." With the situation thus, there was l^tle cause for wonder at Lieutenant emotions of mental exaltatfeo. Whatever the future might hold for him, at least this seemed certain: tlere would be action, and that is something for which your true gentleman of the service is ever on the watch. Something of the mood of the two young officers was communicated to the crew. There were broad grins on all the men's faces as they hurried about the performance of the various tasks, and many of them did not forbear to turn inquiring faces toward their officers whenever occasion offered— which expressions, naturally their officers "failed" to see. At sunset everything was In readiness, and with a sigh of relief Holton stretched himself on the narrow seat running along the mess-room and lovingly filled his pipe. Frost did likewise afld then looked over at his superior. , "By George!" he cried, "think of having the opportunity of putting into practice att the things we're learned!" "It won't be bad fun at all," replied Holton. Frost was about to utter another thought when the doorway was darkened by the figure of a messenger. "A telegram for Lieutenant Hotton,** he said, saluting. Holton took it hastily and ran over the contents. His face clouded and he reed it again. A. good strong-word was trembling on his lips, and he was about to crumple the dispatch In his hand when his eye fell on the meeeenger standing st attentlom. "Oh, thank yon," he said; "there is no answer. As the meeeenger departed H61ton handed the telegram t§ his seeond without a wereV T o * will pressed at oooe to Wash* sagta* and resort to too at the possible moment. Lieutenant Frost will assume command of Scorpion in your absence. ROOSEVELT." As Frost read the message aloud bis voice quivered with excitement. "What does that mean?" he exclaimed. "Hanged if I know," growled Holton. "Isn't that just my luck! I've been working on this old pot trying to get her into shape and hoping and praying for a chance to make good, and then when there appears to be something doing, why I get skinned this way." Frost knew exactly how the commender felt, and his natural exultation at being placed in command of the destroyer was quite swallowed up in his sympathy for a man who was his good friend as well as his superior officer. Holton sat for a while blowing blue clouds of smoke to the ceiling, outwardly calm, but Inwardly seething. He went over every act in the past month or so, but could think of nothing he had done that would warrant his recall in disgrace. "Well, .Bobby," he said at length, "you're a real live captain now. And I congratulate you." "I feel like a man who is going to put on a pair of boots that are too big for him," remarked Frost. "Oh, nonsense!" smiled Holton. "You're in every way qualified. I'll vouch for you, Bobby." Frost smiled. "Thanks," he said; "I'd rather have that from you than from almost anyone I know." "Well," laughed Holton, "take it then; it's sincere. He arose and called to the steward. "Oh, you, Koko," he said, "come in here and help me pack. I'm going to leave you for a while." Dinner that evening was rather a mournful affair, neither Holton nor Frost trying to make light of the mysterious situation. He shook hands with Frost at eight o'clock, and with Koko carrying his bag, started for the station. He had delayed rather longer than he should have done in writing supplementary letters to his parents, and now he found it was necessary to make haste if he was to catch the train for Washington. Eventually, indeed, he and Koko had to run, and as he reached the station the cars were pulling out The Jap threw the bag into the open doors of the rear one and Holton made the steps with a flying leap. As he did so a man who had been following the two essayed a similar flight, but his feet missed the steps and he clung to the gilded rail with his left hand. _ As Holton reached down to assist him the man lost his grip and went plunging head over heels into the gravel. Evidently his fall did not injure him, for as Holton peered hack along the rails he saw the fellow rise slowly and shake his fist at the departing train. If he had known the circumstances under which he was to meet this stranger at a time not far distant, bis feeling of relief when he saw that the man was not seriously Injured might have been tinctured by emotions of various sorts. . Having put up at the Metropolitan club, Holton passed such time as had to elapse before the assistant secretary would be at his desk In the Navy Department building in a fever of impatience. Having at length finished his cigar and his morning paper—which bristled with bellicose matter—Holton put on his hat and overcoat and sauntered slowly toward the Capitol. At ten o'clock he went over to the Navy 'Department and sent his card in to the assistant secretary. Presently his summons came while yet another man was engaged In the Inner office. . This man; however, brushed out past Holton as the young officer, with mingled emotion, walked Into the presence* of Secretary Long's assists/nt. "Good morning, Mr. Holton." Certainly no evil augury was to be detected in the hearty oadenoe of the greeting. MSK down, sir. I'm glad you were so prompt That's what we need in these days.1* "Thank you, sir,** said Holton du- Wonsiy. I Hs»~ sstlotast sscretary observed himtoocarforantoawnvsadthesu*- perenty sesHfisjl with his scrutiny, he arose and paced up and down the length of his office. "By George, Mr. Holton!" he said, "when you realize that war is coming —coming as sure as guns, and then consider our unpreparedness for it—it makes you glad it's Spain and not someone else." "I think the navy's pretty fit, sir," ventured Holton. "Ah, the navy! And the army!" The words came out like bullets. "The navy is all right, and the army, too, what there is of it. The fighting men of both arms of the service are the best this world ever saw: getting things started, that is the trouble. Well, thank Heaven, Dewey's—" the assistant secretary Btopped short, and craning his neck forward, characteristically thrust his square jaw close to the officer's face. We've all got to do the best we can and be sure that when the blow comes it will come from, and not toward us." Holton nodded slightly. "I liked your action in diving overboard and rescuing two of your men last summer," resumed Mr. Roosevelt. "And I may say that a Btudy of your record has convinced me that Just at present a little respite from duties qboard the Scorpion will accrue to our mutual advantage." The assistant secretary paused, and then as Holton made no reply, he continued : "We are not yet at war with Spain— not yet, and in the meantime I think it will be just as well for you to remain in fairly close touch with my of- Ave—personal touch. By the way, there's a ball at the Wlllard tonight—" "A ball!" exclaimed Holton. Then he caught himself. "Yes, sir," he added. "Yes, a ball at the Willard. Here is a card—you'll note It is a personal invitation to you." Holton glanced at It. "I see It, sir." He hesitated. "I am —merely, merely to go there and dance? I mean—mean, sir, are there any instructions?" "I should keep my eyes and ears open if I were you." "YeB, sir, I'll do that, and I hope I'll be able to be of some service," he was rising to go. "Although—although I'm afraid I lack—that is, and—" Holton paused and glanced Irresolutely at his chief. "That you lack definite information," said the assistant secretary, who seem- "That Man Especially is Worth Watching." ed to hays the faculty of reading his thoughts and expressing them before Holton himself could frame them In suitable, or, we'll say, diplomatic terms. "Why, yes, sir—I. have a feeling; that the situation Is indefinite." "Yes. Bit down, Mr. Holton." Holton resumed his chair and his chief leaned forward, talking; rapidly hi a low tone. "Here is the nub of the situation," he began. "In the first place we- have reason, excellent reasons, for suspecting that there are oertaln elements among the Cubans, both In the United States and In Havana, that are strongly inclined to doubt the good faith of the United States is this brewing tree- Me wjih 8pein."

"Naturally," continued Mr, Roosevelt," the Cubans are eager to avail themselves of our armed forces afloat and ashore, but after the work is all done they want us to clear out. Which, of course, we shall do, having first established some decent and Btable system of government down there." "I had not any idea our good faith was in question," observed Holton. "It is," was the reply, "and it is taking the form of preparations for an attack upon our troops by Cuban forces after we have cleaned the Spaniards out of the island." "What a chance!" exclaimed Holton, with patriotic fervor. The assistant secretary smiled. "I myself regard the project as crack-brained in its conception, but nevertheless it exists and muBt be met We must learn their plans at all hazards, and I can tell you now that while we have a general idea as to the situation, it is little more than general, and details of a specific nature would be very welcome. 1 want you to see^what you can do. Your record is that of a clear-headed man of initiative and common sense. You speak Spanish, you are equally at home in a ballroom or in roughing it. You're the man we want." "Thank you, Blr." "I have been extremely confidential," resumed the assistant secretary, "as naturally It was necessary I should be. Any further information I receive from the Secret Service will be transmitted to you, and in turn I shall expect you to keep us in touch with matters as you develop them. Now then, at the ball tonight you are to become acquainted with the following if you can locate them." He handed Holtoa several sheets of typewritten matter, headed by halftone photographs. "That man especially Is worth watching," continued Holton's chief, pointing to the portrait of a well-appearing Cuban, apparently about fifty years old, "and this girl also." "I understand," said Helton. I hare a good Idea of what you want, I think* Mr. Secretary, and I hope I don't have to tell you that I shall leave nothing undone to carry out your wishes." "You don't," was the smilling reply. "It is rather new ground, but it will be interesting work, and will give me a chance to see action, perhaps, before the rest of the crowd." "The assistant secretary smiled. "Thinking of the Scorpion, eh," he laughed. "Well, I'll wafer a new suit of clothes against an apple that you'll soon have so much to occupy your mind that your destroyer will be nothing but a hazy memory." "I'll try to make It so, at all events," laughed Holton. "Good morning, sir." "Good morning. You may report here until further orders every day at this hour." "Yes, sir." Holton turned and left the office. The assistant secretary wheeled around in his swivel-chair and thought deeply for a moment. Then he picked up a paper. "By George!" he murmured, "that young chap is in for a bully time." Meantime Holton walked cheerily to his club, and there met several brother officers who were keen for billiards. So the remainder of the day was spent at this diversion. He had a table at the Willard for dinner, whence he Intended to proceed to the dance. He dressed with great care, and at the last thrust into his hip pocket an article not usually regarded in polite society as a complement of evening attire—a short, thick, very serviceable-appearing revolver. / (TO BE CONTINUED.) * Explanation of Potlatch.

Laugh Away the Clouds. Mistakes are to be laughed at. If one were to take seriously every little mistake he made life would become a burden to him. Laugh at your own little mistakes, and do not feel grieved if others laugh at them. Laughing wilt help you remember to avoid them another time quite as well as giving away to serious regrets. Some people are forever taking themselves to task for some shortcoming. They are the over-conscientious ones. If we act foolishly on the impulse of a moment, it is no more fair to punish ourselves than to punish a child tor a little mistake. It is right to look for the error and acknowledge it. If one * has wronged another, he ought to confess it and be more careful; then put it out of mind. To grow morose and solemn is to commit a second fault. No one Is doing any good to himself or others by constantly eating the bread of penitence. The only time to remember a mistake is when one is tempted again to the same fault. Daily and hourly keeping up self-reproach, one is worn out. This does not mean never to listen to the warnings of conscience, but to see the fault, start afresh and keep cheerful__snd_ honefuL FRIENDLY TIP.

That Is Why, It It 8aid, Stook Broktrj Fight Shy of Them. Nobody loves a stock broker, least of all his customers. This affords a touching, if somewhat subtle, reason why he does not want any women •peculators on his books. There is another reason, I hate to mention it, but yon wring it from me. Women are not good losers. At times, under stress of great speculative losses, I am told they become lachrymose. The one stock broker of my acquaintance who catered to women speculators is now in a madhouse. They were all long of Steel at 50 the time it broke to 8, and all the water squeezed out of it in that decline was wept back Into It by these women. It was an economic disaster. Stock brokers carry home with them all the troubles of tbeir customers, and this poor fellow was no exception. He used to lie awake all night picking a t the counterpane and grieving over beauty in distress. Finally be went crazy. They have given him a set of stock broker's books up there in the a»yrumr and it would break your heart to see him. Jeanne d'Arc and Harriet Beecher Stowe are, long of Copper; Catherine de Medici and Mrs. Browning are short of Rubber: Maria Theresa and George Eliot are pyramiding in Steel. Every now and then some, body is stopped out, and then there are dreadful times. Charlotte CordnyV BHam^i^Staa» 5 DROPS Rheumatism LUMBAGO.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, January 22, 1914 No. 4 ; m. r Growths Hinder Work Seventy-five per cent of children who fail to keep up with their grades in school work are month breathers. The cause of this condition is usually enlarged tonsils .r. ;or adenoids or both. These throat ^^rowths interfere with the noimal process of breathing, forcing the -child to breathe Through the month rather than the nostrils. If a child shows a tendency to breathe through the mouth, the parent or teachers should insist upon a medical examination and if the growths are found to be present to a dangerous decree they should be removed, as otherwise the entire physical condition and sometimes the mental condition of the child is impaired. Adenoids and enlarged tonsils make, a child much more susceptible to colds, sore throat, tonsilitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, anaemia, catarrh, ear diseases and not infrequently loss of hearing, while -'defective speech, dullness and lick of the power to concentrate; often result, interfering with the student's progress in schools. Evidences of adenoids are found in practically every schoolroom. The pronounced cases often cause the jaw to become deformed so that the upper teeth protrude and the arch is narrowed. While the enlarged growths are sometimes outgrown, the effects of them are^ permanent. I :»4 Anderson Fred Wylie, wife and son visited at the home of John Conners of N. Putnam, Thursday. * Mrs. R. M.

He is being assisted in his work by N. P. Mortenson of this place. Tiie pickling station is a sure thing now and will be a great benefit to the farmers in this# vicinity. Cucumber picking comes at a time of year when work is scarce and will mean money in pocket to those enterprising farmers who consider taking acreage. The company pays 75c per bushel for No. 1 cucumbers up to 3J inches long, 25c per bushel from 3J to h\ aud 15c per bushel for culls, which includes all those more than h\ inches long unless yellow and seedy. These prices cover nearly every cucumber raised so there is practically no loss to the grower. The company furnishes the seed. The estimated profit usually made on an acre of cucumber ground is 190.Of, although it has often run higher according to season and method of cultivation. The company has been organized for 14 years and has 150 acres contracted for at Jackson, the place of its first organization. The company has 11 stations at present and we know farmers will make no mistake in taking up with the cucumber proposition.

CHOSEN COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS VOTE IN CAUCUS. Contention of Governor Ferris and Senator Townsend That State Is Handling Situation Is Sustained. Washington—The resolution of Congressman William J. MacDoijald, of Calumet, submitted some days ago, calling for a congressional investigation of the situation in the copper country, of Michigan, was referred to tae house committee on rules for decision as to whether United States interference was warranted. "No federal question is involved either in the Michigan or in the Colorado strike situations, and "Nothing has been shown to indicate that the governors of the respective states are not in a position adequately to cope with the situation." These are the findings of the Democratic majority members of the committee Saturday. They sustain the contention of Governor Ferris and Senator Townsend that Michigan can handle its labor affairs and virtually ends the demand for federal interference, so far as action in the house is concerned.

Steamer Marina Catches Signals and Reaches Vessel Barely in Time to Rescue Crew Without Their Belonging. Baltimore—Rescued from their icecoated sinking ship after they had given up all hope, the 13 members of the crew of the five-masted schooner Fuller Palmer, Sunday morning arrived in Baltimore aboard the Donaldlon line steamer Manna. The rescue was made by the Marina early Thursday morning, about 154 miles southeast of Cape Cod. Since Monday morning, when the -gale which swept the-Atlantic coast had so battered the echooner that she began to leak, the crew had fought to keep her afloat. With sails whipped into shrtds by the wind, and rigging broken and so coated with ice that it could not be handled.^he Fuller Palmer had practically drifted at the mercy of the raging seas. Shortly after 5 o'clock Thursday morning, a rocket shot up some miles away, showing that at last their signals had been noticed. So low was the Fuller Palmer in the water by the time the Marina's boats arrived no time was given the men to collect any of their belongings. The transfer was made without accident. May Try Trans-Atlantic Flight. Dayton, O.—Upon the chances the flyer is willing to take will depend the date of the first crossing of the Atlantic ocean in an aeroplane, according to the belief of Orvllle Wright, who is just now figuring with Aviator Harry N. Atwood upon such a flight. Atwood is not going to take forlorn chances, so he is indulging in a great deal of mathematical study. Mr. Wright has said the chances of success attending such an effort were far less visionary than there were only a short time ago. He believes the flight could be made from New Foundland in 25 hours. The longest aeroplane flight up to the present time was of about 11 hours duration. Marketing of Farm Products. Washington—A popular government institution for the scientific marketing of farm products, to be known as the Agricultural Capital, to be separate from any existing branch of the government, was proposed in a bill by Senator Borah. Designed primarily to eliminate middlemen and, reduce the cost of living, to arrange transportation facilities and otherwise Improve conditions of the farmers and consumers, the bill aroused _jenaiors by its radical suggestions and was referred; torthe agricultural committee.

When the remarkable series of arctic expeditions came to an end, after years of fruitless search for the long-lost Sir John Franklin, the fleet commander, Sir Edward .Belcher, write "The Last of the Arctic Voyages." "* No o n e was more surprised than Belcher when McClintock's search In the Fox was Initiated, and the final record was made of Franklin's death and of the discoveries of his shipmate!. And then followed that line of heroic American explorations which opened up the wondrous waterways of the West Greenland - coast and thus unbarred the hitherto closed gates to the very pole. In years just passed, when the stirring dispatch ^came announcing that Perry had reached the north geographic pole, the acme of his ambitious struggles of a quarter of a century, the word went round that arctic exploration was at an end.' Even that virile and indomitable descendant of the Norse Vikings, Roald Amundsen, was deterred from that arctic voyage on which he had already started. Turning the prow of • the Pram from Bering strait he sailed southward, and, scaling high antarctic peajts with Norwegian ski and dogdrawn sledges, attempted the south geographic pole. When the year 1912 opened there was noted a widespread recurrence of popular interest in arctic fields of research, so that there were no less than six expeditions Initiated, excluding those of Russia. The Dane, Koch, and the Swiss, de Quarvain, crossed the Greenland icecap at different points. The German Schroder- Straus, found disaster and death in North Spitsbergen. Meanwhile the Canadian, Stefansson, planned to reach the hypothetical continent long forecast by Americans. The American, McMillan, sought definitely to outline Crocker Land. The Frenchman, Prayer, re-explored that Franz Josef Land which his father was first to traverse. Amundsen now starts via Bering strait to drift northwestward with the ice floes of the Siberian ocean. These all represent what may be called foreign and idealistic exploration, as compared with the Russian expeditions, which are domestic and economic. Before describing the discoveries of Lieutenant Wilkitzky, the Russian, it will be well to set forth foreign invasions into the Siberian ocean nearest to Nicholas Second Land. First in order is the expedition of 1880, commanded by De Long, which drifted northwesterly from Bering strait « until the Jeanette was crushed by the ice, Nansen followed in the Fram, adopt- <* lng De Long's plan. The drift of the Fram was a practical continuation of tint of the Jeanette, though no land wis seen, and the -ship passed into deep water about 250 mitea tn the- Tofth of the new Siberian islands. The most important addition to the hydrography of the Siberian ocean, time and means considered, was made by Capt. Edward H. Johanesen, in the tailing schooner Nordland. Leaving Cape. Mouritius, Nova Zembia, he found the ocean ice-free, so that he crossed to Cape Taimur, near Cape Chelyurskin. * On August 16, 1878, he discovered in 77 degrees 42 minutes north latitude, 86 degrees east? longi- • tude, a? island named Eisamkeit (Lonely island), scarcely more than 100 miles to the west of Nicholas Second Land. Most interestinr were the experiences'of Byron A. E, von Nordenskjoid, the greatest, all phases of action and of knowledge considered, of-arctic explorers. In his unique voyage, , the circumnavigating or Asia, he reached pa August 19, 1878, the north point of Asia. Captain Chelyuskin, which Tie determined to be in 77 degrees $8 minutes north latitude 103 degrees l? minutes east longitude. As he was th* first known visitor to the tap* sipeVfts dfscovery by Chelyns- , kin by s!£d*e Journey in 1742, Ite surroundings were carefully noted. Nordensjold sent his supporting steamer, the Lena, seaward to dredge. She was stopped by heavy and very close tee in about 77 degrees 46 minutes north, eoms) 75 miles south of Nicholas Second Land, to which the made the nearest approach hitherto ,» Method of Preparation Has Much to Do With its Appreciation When Put on the Table. Sausage, considered by some as a plebeian edible, ranking with Irish stew and corn beef and cabbage, and not possible on the ultra-refined board, may really be made the basis of many delicious and even dainty luncheon dishes. Sausage sliced and delicately fried in its own grease, drained and then browned crisply, and served with tiny little buckwheat cakes four incheB across, will make a delightful luncheon on a cold winter day. Sausage smothered in potato is another luncheon dainty, which even the most cultured need not disdain. ParboU some very small link sausage five minutes. Bake a number of medium sised potatoes, and when done cut in half and remove the mealy pulp, mashing it well and adding butter and a little cream or milk, as well as some salt and pepper. Fill the potato skins with this mixture, leaving a depression in the center of each. Lay in the parboiled sausages and brown well in the oven for a few minutes.

The survey of these remote regions was but one of the many progressive improvements for Russia initiated by that luminous character, Peter the Great. Planned in his last years, this most extended of geographic surveys ever attempted was known as the Great Northern expedition; it lasted 17. years, from 1725 to 1742. Its results gave fame to Bering, Mura« vief, to the Laptiefs, to Prontschischef and others. In later days they were followed by Kotzebue, Wrangel, Anjou and Sannlkof. How Russia has persistently pursued a maritime policy for the development of Siberian trade has been fully set forth by Gen. J. de SchokaJsky, Russian imperial navy, in various publications. Safe routes of navigation to and from the valleys of the Yenesei, of the Lena and of other lesser rivers are absolutely essential for the prosperity and development of this habitable empire, which is half as large again as is the United States. Siberia la no longerr a country of convicts, but a land swarming with pioneers, a wondrous leaven among its 10,000,000 of inhabitants. Routes via the Kara sea and around the north end of Nova Zembia have been tested, but neither has been found same for commercial ships year after year. It was then suggested that a satisfactory route could be found by entering Bering strait. This would enable Russia to obtain a Siberian outlet, with Vladivostok as the main port, to which would be shipped the products of the vast region to the east of Cape Chelyuskin. In,the summer of 1912 two powerful Ice-breakers, the Taimyr and the Vaigatz, made safely a voyage via Hering strait to and from the Lena. Soundings anu surveys were made en route, but ice conditions around Cape Chelyuskin prevented the ships from returning to Russia through the Kara sea. « Early in July, iai3.-ths4cfl breakers to prosecute their surveys and to renew .their efforts to round Cape Chelyuskin and return to St. Petersburg through the Kara sea. The expedition was under command of General Sergelef, imperial Russian navy, who was incapacitated by a stroke of apoplexy. Lieutenant Wilkitzky, imperial navy, succeeding to the command, made a running survey of the Asiatic coast from the Kolyma river, latitude 70 degrees north, longitude 160 degrees east, to Cape Chelyuskin. It is the first time that this cape has been visited by a ship coming from the eastward. Wilkitzky's hopes of completing the circumnavigation of Asia were destroyed in longitude 96 degrees east, where he found an impenetrable barrier of solid ice. As the sea was open to the north, he decided to explore this unknown area of the Siberian ocean. To his astonishment, be* soon sighted high peaks, the summits of a new land. In latitude 81 degrees north, longitude 100 degrees east he landed, hoisted the Russian imperial colors, took possession of the land in the name of the csar and named it Nicholas Second Land. Wilkltiky followed the land north* ward; fading it with a continuing northwesterly trend. In latitude Si degrees north, longitude 9ft degrees known to extend through more than two degrees of latitude, with a coast line of nearly 200 miles. While data to that effect are lacking, it is probable that Nicholas Second Land consists of a number of close lying islands, similar to Franz Josef Land. Its high, abrupt cliffs, and many isolated peaks seem to sustain Wilkitzky's opinion that it may be of volcanic formation. Despite the fact that vegetation was scant at the landing place, the land evidently abounds in arctic game. Traces of reindeer were visible, polar bears were seen, and bird life was abundant Off shore many walrus were Been. The large collection made by the Russian officers of specimens relating to the geology, the fauna and the flora will throw much light on its physical conditions. In the way of general knowledge it is evident that the continental shelf of Asia is broader than has been generally supposed, being from 300 to 350 miles or more in width. When forced from the southern shores of Nicholas Second Land by tbe ice pack, Wilkitzky found the ocean to the east quite ice free. He steamed easily along the seventyninth parallel, through the sea where De Long and his gallant companions drifted for months, ice-beset until the Jeanette sank. Some additions and corrections were made in the number and position of the De Long islands. Most important was the discovery by Wilkitzky on Bennett island of the diaries and records of Baron Toll. This Russian explorer visited this island by sledge in 1902 and doubtless perished on his attempted return journey to Kotelnoi island. The scientific world will await with Interest the last message of this intrepid Russian scientist, who gave his life to advance geographic knowledge to Russian dominions. It is a happy coincidence that this very year a memorial tablet to Baron Toll is in process of installment on Kotelnoi island. Coat Now From Spitsbergen.

J j w i an American. John M. Longyear of Marquette, Mich., who has a title to 170 square miles from a Norwegian company, reports that bis company has shipped 35.000 tons this year. The Engineering and Mining Journal says that a deposit of about 60,- 000,000 tons exists in Spitzbergen. The mines are worked by from 260 to 300 men and although the shipping season lasts but three months, mining is carried on throughout the year. But Spitzbergen is still a No Man's Land and tbe northern nations of Europe look upon Mr. Longyear and his American company as interlopers. In fact, Russians have already luvaried the company'8 territory and taken away a cargo of coal. Consequently the Americans are in a quandary as to what to do. SAUSAGE AS A DELICACY Old Mother Hubbard. A rare discovery has been made in the realm of literature—nothing lest than the author of "Old Mother Hubbard," whose lines, unprotected by copyright, were appropriated by sue* cessive editors of Mother Goose with* out the least bit of a "thank yon." Tbe discovery of the name of the as> thor was made by a clergyman of the church of England, the present vicar of Tealmpton, in County'Devon, who has given the news of his happy PLUM PUDDING ICE CREAM Change From the Usual Method of Serving Will Be Appreciated by All the Family. A, novel change from the usual plum pudding is this delightful dessert, which is quite easily made: Scald a pint of milk, add to it four eggs beaten with one cupful and a half of sugar. Stir constantly over hot water until it forms a rich CUBtard; strain and set aside to cool. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of cocoa in one-half cupful of boiling water and boil for a moment. Chill this and add to the cold custard with one tablespoonful of vanilla and one pint of cream. Shred sufficient citron to measure one-half cupful; steam onehalf cupful of seeded raisins and one-quarter cupful of sultanas until plump and tender. Blanch and cut fine two dozen almonds; mix these, add just enough sherry to moisten, and let stand for an hour. Pour the mixed cream into the freezer and freeze until like a thick mush. Open, and work in the fruit, then finish freezing. In serving, garnish with whipped cream. Sauce for Chops. Pound fine an ounce of black pepper and half an ounce of allspice, with an ounce of salt, and a half ounce of scraped horseradish and the same of shalots peeled and quartered; put these ingredients into a pint of mushroom ketchup or walnut pickle; let them steep for a fortnight and then strain it. A teaspoonful or two of this is generally an acceptable addition, mixed with the gravy usually sent up for chops and steaks; or added to thick melted butter. Another delightful sauce for chops Is made by taking two wineglasses of port and two of walnut pickle; four of mushroom ketchup; half a dozen anchovies pounded, and a like number of shalots sliced and pounded; a tablespoonful of soy and half a drachm of Cayenne pepper; let them simmer gently for ten minutes; then strain, and when cold put into bottles, well corked and sealed over.

Franco-Prussian Veteran. General McAduraa of either Fcotch or Irish birth, who raided a battalion of Irish voluuteera at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian *ar, took ljis men to Fiance and led them against the Germans, has for many yfcars lived quietly in "a villa at Cannes. France. He was given the rank of general on the battlefield. Some twenty years ago he was elected a members of the chamber of deputies, and when the moment came for him to be confirmed in his seat he was unable to prove that he was born in France or was a naturalized citizen. The chamber, however, in consideration of his record during the war, waived the matter an<T confirmed him in his seat. A CLERGYMAN'S TESTIMONY. ) Rev. B. Healop. The Rev. Edmund Heslop of Wigton, Pa., suffered from Dropsy for a year. His limbs and feet were swollen and puffed. He had heart fluttering, was dizzy and exhausted at the least exertion. Hands and feet were cold and he had such a dragging sensation across the loins that it was difficult to move. After using 5 boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills the swelling disappeared and he felt himself again. He says he has been benefited and blessed by the use of Dorids Kidney Pills.

But 170 rural districts m Michigan have school grounds containing two acres of ground, yet educational authorities contend that at least two acres of ground are necessary for play grounds and experimental agricultural plats for use by a rural school, The attorney general has given an opinion that farmers owning property cannot give permission i a others 4y-4umt rabbits with gnpea pigs and ferrets, there being a state law against hunting rabbits with these animals; also a farmer or other person has no right to sell the skins of fur bearing animals when such animals are killed in order to protect property. There is a closed season on certain far bearing animaia and the question was raised as to the right to sell the skins when such animals were killed to protect property, The right to kill is not denied when property is to be protected, but no sale can be made.

Despite the fact that land in rural districts is comparatively cheap, more than half of the country schools posses grounds of one-half acre or less, forcing the children to play in the roads or in neighboring fields. Recognizing the need for doing something towards checking the bean blight in Michigan, the state board of agriculture, at its session in East Lansing last week, directed that a fund of $1,200 be set aside to pay the expenses of an expert to make a study of bean diseases in the state. The investigation probably will begin at the college within a few weeks. In remitting for her subscription, Mrs. Frank Duchesneaw of Enumclaw, Wash.,' says that although there have been many changes in Pinckney within the past few years, and although many unfamiliar names appear in the local columns of the paper, the Dispatch is always a welcome visitor to their home and does one good when they do read of their old friends.

The law also provides that the flag must be displayed either inside or outside the school building during school hours.

There U just one animal man has never conquered, never can conquer. Centuries ago every other beast became the slave of man or else fled far from human habitation. One and one only refused to flee or to submit The horse, the dog, the cow, the sheep, the goat, the |>lg—all came Into camp thousands of years ago. Tbey have ever since worked for man or fed him, or both. They have been bis unquestioned and unquestioning slaves. The elephant, too. has become a servant as have other jungle lords. The lion, the tiger, the wolf, the bear, and such other savage beasts as have not yielded service to man have slunk away In terror from the path of civilization, and are killed on sight But one single animal claims man's protection, shares his food and hearth, wanders at will and unmolested through, human haunts, and does absolutely no work in return; obeys no orders, and does hot even serve as food or clothing. This only exception to a world of servants and of scared enemies is the domestic cat Think it over. The cat will not work. It will not guard your home. Its flesh and fur serve no use. Its one useful act Is the catching of mice and rats. And these it slays and eats because it wants to; not to help out its owner. For example, it does not bring Its captured prey to its owner to eat Nor will It hunt rodents unless it happens to feel like doing so. The cat won't work. It won't even learn tricks unless It happens to want to. And no one can punish or torture it Into learning any trick it doesn't want to learn. That is why there are almost no trick cats in animal shows and why the few that are there do such very simple tricks. A dog can be tortured Into doing tricks. A cat can't When some animals became man's slaves and others fled from him, the cat did neither. It simply took all the favors and advantages man had to offer, and refused to do one lick of work In exchange. Beat a dog and he will fawn on you.

The legend of the Flying Dutchman is thus explained in a work entitled "Researches In Atmospheric Phenomena," by Thomas Foster. The story runs that once upon a time a certain Dutch sea captain swore such a fearful oath that as a punishment for his blasphemy he was condemned by the higher powers to beat about the seas until the day of Judgment. His vessel is never known to get Into port and is seen, at uncertain times sailing at an Immense rate before the wind under full press of canvas. In very stormy weather she is seen about the Cape of Good Hope. The explanation Is probably- found in the waterspout or in some storm driven mist. $100 Reward, $100 Thareaders of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Gloria Kerr, a motherless girl, who has spent most of her Itfe in school, arrives ai her father's home in Belmont David Kerr is the political boss of the town, and is anxious to prevent his daughter learning of his real character. Kendall, representing the Chicago packers, Is negotiating with Judgs Gilbert, Kerr's chief adviser, for a valuable franchise. They fear the opposition of Joe Wright, editor of the reform paper. Kerr asks the assistance of Judge Gilbert in introducing Gloria to Belmont society, and promises to help him put through the packers' franchise and let him lave all the graft Gloria meets Joe Wright at the Gilberts. It appears -they are oa intimate terms, having met previously on a touring party in Europe. The Gilberts Invite Gloria to iitay with them pending the refurnishing of the Kerr home. Wright begins his fight against the proposed franchise In the columns of his paper, the Belmont News. Kerr, through his henchmen, exerts every influence to hamper Wright in the publication of his paper. Gloria takes up settlement work. Kerr and his lieutenants decide to buy Kerr's paper 8*id ask the editor to meet them at Gilbert's office. Calling at Gilbert's office to solicit a donation Gloria .meets Wr'ght. He proposes and Is accepted while, waiting to be called into the conference. Wright refuses to sell his paper and declares Tie will fight to a finish, . Xh* Belmont News appears with a bitter attack on Kerr. Gloria calls Wright a coward and refuses to listen to any explanation from him. Broken-hearted, Gloria decides to plunge more deeply into settlement work. She calls on a sick girl of the underworld, named Ella. She learns for the first time that her father is the head of a notorious gang of political grafters. Sounds of a conflict are heard In the room over Ella's. Gloria finds Wright uncpnsclous. a victim of an attempted, assassination by thugs in the pay of the political ring. She hides him In Ella's rdom and defies the thugs. She awes them by announcing that she is Kerr's daughter. Ella threatens to give up Wright to the thugs and Is choked into unconsciousness by Gloria, who then falls unconscious on Wright's body. They are rescued by Dr. Hayes and his wife. Wright decides to sell his paper and leave Belmont. Gloria hears that Wright 1s going away and calls upon him to ask his forgiveness for her harsh words. CHAPTER- XXIII.—Continued. Patty, tired of listening to a conversation she could not understand, and, rerneijjfty£ring the visitor, asked: "What shall I tell htm?" "Walt a minute, Patty." Wright motlohed the child to the door. Then he turned to Gloria. "You can leave by this side entrance. No one will be the wiser for this visit. The minute the door closes behind you, Patty— and I~will have forgotten that you called. But I will not have forgotten your kindness and consideration. Before you leave I want you to know that I can't value too highly the motive that prompted-your call. To the end I'll treasure It a3 a memory hallowed by the parting from the only woman I—Goodby." ; He felt he could npt complete what be wished to say without a show of emotion to which tt would not' do to give way:' cThe only thing he could do was to hold out his hand and say, "Good>by." Gloria put both her Hands behind her back, and shook her head. "No, I refuse to go." "What do you mean?" "I mean just what I say. I intend to stay here and meet my father and he>r what he has to say to you." Wright gazed at her intently, but she did not quiver under his scrutiny. "It shall be as you say," he assents . ' f i r &•.*,;• .-i"'-'*. . ed. "Go, Patty, tell him to come in." After Patty closed the door there was an awkward silence which he broke by saying, "1 must say that this meeting is ill-advised." She sighed and she ok her head. "Oh, ill-advised or not, my mind is made up. Things cannot go on as they arfc 'If hericefdrth I am to direct my own affairs, why shouldn't I begin now?" "But how explain your being here?" "If he can't believe what I have to say he isn't worth the slight esteem with which I still regard him.'* "Here he comes." "Let him see you flrBt." She retreated* to a corner of the room where her father's first glance at he entered would not discover hor. Patty opened the door and David Kerr walked into the room. The two men looked at each other without any attempt at a feigned cordiality. "Mr. Wright," began the boss, and at mention of his name the newspaper man bowed slightly in recognition of the greeting, "I met Dr. Hayes this afternoon. He spoke of you. and what ha told me has led me to break a custom of fcaarsi l've<<5ome to see yon. In this tofjn it's always been the other way.'*: He spoke with aH his aoaustomed £orc*. and seamed even:* more oonftdent than usual aa he added, "The old way will continue/air, but owing to what you might call the re- JMtUOMbijp that once1—" "BtrlVtlurodeWd Wright In aato&V iahment Coyar$Jr^ looked at Gloria* M irad hiaown smaaamant mirrarad MBa«mf *aV I >tao«ght I'd oome to aWyott. thVboae continued, not head' Oop/rigut by A- a MoClurg * Co., 10» "One minute, sir." Wright was not willing for him to proceed without his knowing that his daughter was In the room with them. "Before you speak further you must know that we're pot alone in this room." "We're not?" He looked about trfm, and at the sound of a .familiar voice turned sharply, to confront his daughter. "No, father; I'm here." She advanced coolly to the center of. the room, and waited for him to speak. "Gloria! My daughter here!" He managed to gasp. Wright, determined not to have his hand forced, waited to see what card the daughter would play. "Wait a minute, please," she remarked quietly, the most selff>o&' sessed of the three. "Are you so blind you <ja»"t eee> you find me here because I wish it so? My visit to Mr. Wright surprised him just as much as did yours. When you were announced. I told him I would stay." "So that's it, is it?" her father raged. "Have you turned against me, too? Why didn't I raise you like-you ought to 'a' been!" It was with an evident effort that he was restraining himself even as much as he was. "Would to heaven you had!" Gloria exclaimed in a low tone. "You gave me only the roses of life, and now the thorns—all that life offers me—seem sharper than I can bear." Wright had thought his heart had been so wrung that nothing could hurt him worse, but this confession of unhappiness to her father made his own unhappine&s greater than he had believed it could be. "Gloria, this is distressingly painful. Please don't," he begged. Then he turned to her father. "Why have you come here?" "Why is she here?" "Father," now she spoke timidly, a maiden telling of a dear, dead love, "for a little while Mr. Wright and. I— were engaged—to be married. I don't think you know what that means to a girl, what it meant to me. But you do know how it ended. Yet we're still such good friends that I felt I could come this afternoon to—" As she spoke, a great light began to dawn upon her father. At the words "good friends" he saw his whole plan successful, although worked out along lines a trifle different than what had been in his mind when he had determined to call upon the editor. Your successful general is a great opportunist, and David Kerr was quick to seize thiB opportunity. "Good friends!" he echoed, interrupting her. "Then I'm glad I found you here. Just listen to me a minute. I ain't got much to say, Mr. Wright, but we understand each other pretty well. Now then—you gave us a pretty hard bump, an' I admire you fer it Of course, you're new to Belmont an* it looks all right from yer p'int o' view." His tone was now suave and conciliatory. J^But yo«!rfi^too good a "Oh!" Gloria's disgust was unspeakable. Mere rage was useless to express her feelings. Kerr turned to Wright, since Gloria appeared to have no inclination to listen. "So I argues, why not fix it up between us." Then he apofee to his daughter in explanation, "Not knowin' you'd be here. But it's just as well. Now, "Mr. Wright, what I say is this: This town wants somebody to run it. Belmont can't git along withdut somebody to keep the wheels greased. I'll put the paper on its feet fer you, an' gradually—as gradually as you like— you kin come over to my way of think- In'. Then what'd be more natural than fer you to take tfver the runnin' o' things—especially as you'd be my sonin- law?" Wright was about to make reply, but Gloria was too quick for him "Oh, this is more than I can bear! Am I a dog, a horse, a p!g. that I can be traded in a dirty deal with not so much as *by your leave?' I'll not* stand it for another instant. One humiliation after another has been my lot, but this is the last. I'm through with you. What has passed has taught you nothing; you're the bargaining, trading, scheming politician still, so low that you'd make your own daughter, your own flesh and blood, the bait to lure a good man from his purpose. But you can't do it,"-she cried, a note of triumph creeping into her denunciation; "he's not your kind. And do you believe that I'd submit to sw;h a thing? What can you think of me? You put me on a plane with those vile creatures who pay you for protection." "Gloria, please stop!" Wright pleaded. Her father could only look at her in wonder as she poured out thepent- up passion of her inmost soul. "No, I'll not stop—there's more to say. Here, within this hour, Mr. Wright asked me again to be his wif3, and I refused^refused because of you. I came'h«*e to warn him against you, to tell him the truth, because once we loved each other. No one can blame me for wishing him well. I came to tell him because 1 can't be here after this to save him as once I did. Over my body 1 dared your hirelings to take him, and not one moved. Now I'm going away forever and I you? Nothtn' but glum looks an car»r words. If yer goin' away, go* I die own you. I east you off." The girl did not quail beneath bis bitter words.. They only inflamed her to announce the decision she bad al ready made. Her lip curled with scorn, her eyes snapped, as she looked at her father. "You disown me! Yon cast me off I*' All the contempt stfe could muster she threw into her voice. "What right have you, who would barter me away as you would a horse or dog? No, it's 1 disown you!" Wright walked over to her and sought to take her hand gently in his, but she drew away. She would stand alone. Like a blind old bear David Kerr semed to grope his way to the door. There he turned to gaie once more upon the wreck of his latest bchemes. His rage was still hot upon him. . "I found you in this—this adventurer's room. I leave you here. Look to yerself, you are no c*hild o' mine." The door hanged behind him anp^ Gloria Kerr knew that they had met for the la&t time. The girl, feeling so miserably alone in the world, turned to find bent upon her the tender gaze of the man whom she had once sworn to follow to the end of the world. Forthem love was dead, she knew, and now life would be for her only a succession of weary days. I thought all but my body died that day we spoke of love to find it but a dream," she acknowledged sadly, **yet there was one cup still more bitter 1 had to drain—and this was that cup's dregs." f ~ - T - — — WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Telia How She W M Saved by Taking Lydia E Pinkbarn's Vegetable Compound* Loffansport, Ind. — "My baby wad over a year old and I bloated till I was a burden to myself.

Kerr took a step forward and glanced at Gloria before he went on. "Now then, what do you say to this? You switch over an' join me. If it's too strong fer you to go, I'll cut out that Maple avenue railway line, an' we'll go at It some other way." Gloria looked at her father in astonishment. Wright did not interrupt him, wishing to hear all that he had to say. "This campaign's taught me I'm growln' old. Some day somebody's got to take my place. There ain't a man in the party with your sense. 1 need you, aa'~what's more—you'll profit by bein' with me." "Mr. Kerr, It won't take me many words to give you your answer." .

You're not a coward. I'm going, but your place is here." "Do you think I shall let you go alone? Never. The one reason I am going east is to sell the Belmont News. I'm through with it. Then I shall follow you over the world until I make you mine—because i love you." The girl looked at him with the faintest of smiles battling with her settled melancholy. He was bordering on melodrama, and she was regarding him with the same gentleness a loving mother exhibits toward an unreasoning little child. "How selfish you are, Joe. All your fine sermons are going for naught. You've preached of your duty, and yet at the chance to show your devotion to that duty you're wanting to give up the fight. I'm not worth it, Joe, really I'm not. Think of Belmont. A general doesn't desert his soldiers after a victory, just because be knows the enemy has sent for reinforcements. That would be cowardly, and it isn't like you, Joe. The brave general doesn't give ground, he advances. Don't follow roe; I would hate you. I know how Belmont needs you." But I need you, Gloria. And what is more, you need me and I can't let you go alone. There 1» a world elsewhere, eve'n other Belraonts where we can live and labor and love.

How did you happen to be there?'* Briefly she detailed the. visit, minimteiftg her-part in saving-himr~None she less he was able to see that it was to her he owed perhaps life itself. He listened in silence, letting her tell her utory in her own way. "Gloria, I've come to a decision." She looked at him questloningly. "I'm ?oing to do what you've ordered- I'm going to stay here and fight for-Bel- ?uont" "Joe. you mean it!" Her face lit up with pleasure and she held out both her hands to- him. He took them both, and to her surprise, and despite her resistance, drew her to him. "But I'm not going to stay alone. If I'm to fight, the good fight, I'm- not \ going to fight alone. You called me a coward for wanting to go; won't you i award me for deciding to stay? And out of unhappiness happiness' will come. You must stay, Gloria; our place is here." \ "Our place!" she echoed, and then was silent for a little time, her head upon his shoulder. He held her tight* ly, she could not escape. The feeble efforts she bad made to break from him were now abandoned as she thought mora and more noon his words. At last ahe looked up at him and smiled. "Tea, Joe, our place tt here, and our happiness. Right in this i*om al) my old pride died. Bnt there has been, born ^ new pride, a pride in you and 1* me, and in. what Jt has been given us to do."

Leading fungous Diseases of Frvlt In Certain Sectlone—Nute sre Very ' Concentrated Food—Potato an J Important Food. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The cedar rust or orange mat of the apple, which h&a its alternate generatton on the red cedar, was unusually destructive during the season of 19X2, especially In the Appalachian fruit belt, and resulted In severe losses to apple growers in the autumn of that year. The main facts about this disease have been worked out by investigators and known to science for several years. The remarkable increase of the cedar rust, apparently due to Its new adjustment to the. Mork Imperial and other commercial varieties of cultivated apples which has taken place within the last eight to ten years, has caused this to be the leading fungous disease of this fruit in certain applegrowing sections. Lime-sulphur solution, the standard fungicide for spring treatment of the apple, will kill the fungus* but on account of weather conditions and repeated infection periods during the time of leaf formation, it is difficult and usually impracticable to prevent the disease by spraying. For several years the bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture, has been recommending the destruction of cedars In the vicinity of large commercial orchards which they Injure, as a result of which considerable cedar destruction has been accomplished. The unusually severe outbreak of 1912 and the poor results a t spraying In that season, however, emphasizes the necessity of cedar eradication more than ever before, and the last year this was taken up more actively by the growers, particularly In Virginia and West Virginia, the department and the state experiment station pathologists lendllg their aid and advice to the movement The results of this work proved remarkably satisfactory during the spring infection period of 1913. In the valley of Virginia, where heavy losses were sustained the previous year, orchard after orchard recovered completely in a single season after having the cedars cut down with a radius of one or two miles. In order tO) insure thorough infection and thus make the effect of eradication stand out prominently, cedars were in some eases allowed to stand in the vicinity of certain orchards. Prom the result obtained In the work during the past year, it appears satisfactory to cut the cedars within a radius of 12 miles, even though hillsides were covered with cedars beyond that distance. Nuts ss a Food. The department of agriculture says that nuts are a very concentrated food, even more so than cneese, but when rationally used they are well assimilated and may form a part of a well-balanced diet Nuts are a very valuable source of protoln and these two nutrients being the-characteristic constituents of the more common nuts, of whieh the walnut and ooooannt may' be taken as types. In not*, like the chestnut, carbohydrates are a characteristic constituent For most families it.is undoubtedly wiser to^use nuts as the, regular diet than as! a condiment or supplement to an otherwise hearty meal. Vegetarians and others who use nuts In place of meat should not depend u^on them as the main food supply, but should - supplement them with more butk^^ooas with a low content of protein and fat , As a whole, nuts may be classed amongthe staple foods IMPROVING WITH FERTILIZER and not simply ss food accessories. At usual prices, nuts are reasonable sources of protein and energy. Peanuts supply protein and energy very cheaply, even compared with such Btaple foods as bread and beans. There are a number of nut foods on the market but it may be stated that there 1B little to be gained from the standpoint of food value" or economy in their use in place of the ordinary nuts and home-made nut products, especially by healthy persons who are willing to masticate their food thoroughly and to use nuts in reasonable combinations. Unless something has been added, the nutritive materials in such special preparations can not be greater than the nuts from which they are made, though in the mechanical condition or in some other way the foods may be better fitter for ready assimilation. Furthermore, nut butters, and similar foods give a pleasant variety to the diet, and they are relished by many who would not care for the unprepared nuts. Though less subject to contamination than other foods, nuts should be handled and stored under good conditions, and especially- should be protected from dampness and insect enemies. The Role of Potatoes in the National Dietary. The potato stands next to the cereals as the most important food of northern nations, according to the department of agriculture. In Germany thiB is particularly true, for the per capita consumption is 7.3 bushels, while ours is estimated at 2.6 bushels? An Interesting study of Behrend shows that the consumption of potatoes in Germany stands in inverse ratio to the wealth and social status of the people. The well-to-do people there use 3.6 bushels each per annum, the peasantry 8.8 bushels, and the laborers in western Germany 12.3 bushels, while in the eastern provinces the per capita consumption of the poorer laborers is 17 bushels each per year. Potato Starch. A certain quantity of potato starch is used in this country for sizing in cotton mills, for which purpose it Is preferred to corn starch, says the department of agriculture. There has been In the country produced an average of 20,000,000 pounds of potato starch annually and large annual importations from Germany have been made in addition. In 1910 there were imported 10,600,200 pounds of starch and 4,424,200 pounds of potato dextrin. The manufacture of starch from potatoes in the United States is at present confined to the utilization of culls and of potatoes unfit for storage or shipment because of partial infection with tuber rot The margin of profit Is not large, in spite of a protective tariff of one cent per pound. The factories are able to run. only six weeks in the year, and the interest and other overhead charges are therefore high. It seems possible to make some economic Improvements in this system by Introducing new factory methods, and the quantity of potatoes used could be increased, especially In districts remote from the markets, where a more rigid sorting should be practiced before shipment and all Inferior potatoes kept at home. This would not only tend to reduce freight charges, but would give the consumes* in a distant market e grade of potatoes which would waste much less in preparation for the table and—for which a relatively higher price could be paid than for the present unsorted shipments. There is a possibility also that a method may be worked out for drying, culled and surplus potatoes on the farm and the dried product later used for starch making. The total quantity required would, nevertheless, not make a large impression on a inr* plus potato crop. / Practical Fashions LADY'S DIVIDED EQUE8TRIAN 8KIRT.

I first noticed Small bunches on my scalp which commenced to itch and I would scratch them and in time they got larger, forming a scale or scab with a little pus, and chunks of hair would come out when I would scratch them off. It caused me to lose most of my hair. It became thin and dry and lifeless. I was troubled for over ten years with It until it got so bad I was ashamed to go to a barber to get my hair cut. "I tried everything I could get hold of, and , but received no cure until I commenced using Cutlcura Soap and Ointment when the scale commenced to disappear. The way I used- the Cuticura Soap and Ointment was to wash my scalp twice a day with warm water and Cuticura Soap and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. 1 received benefit in a couple of weeks and was cured in two months."

We note that the latest landlord has just resigned his thankless job, but will remain in Pinckoey which fact the Dispatch announces with considerable pride. Some system that. First you rope the victim by getting him to be landlord ana he moves into town and takes possession of the hotel. Business is "bum," cash is scarce; the erstwhile landlord resigns but remains in town because he can'c get away and presto! there's a new citizea in town aud Pinckney is some larger and growing. Hoo ray! Who's next!—Chelsea Tribune. Brother Axtell, it appears would make Sherlock Holmes look cheap with hi3 petty deducing. The truth of the matter is that all proprietors have had the "dough" but only one of them has discovered that Pinckney is an ideal place to live.
