Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May 8, 1913 No. 19 ,? : \?» Two Men Lose Lives Plant of t h e Michigan Cond e n s e d Milk Company at Howell burns to Ground Two men were burned to death in the fire of the Michigan Condensed Milk Factory at Howell last Tburaday evening. ; ^ c The dead are: Clarence HornftS^ V l|ng, 25, son of Geo. Horuung, 'Merchant tailor; Harry A.dams, 27, machinefit at the plant. When Supt. Sanielands opened the front door of the office, machinist Harry A^dama and Clarence Hornuog were just behind him. " Mr. Adams said he would try and secaie his tools and Mr. Hornung started to help him t6 do so. Their bodies were found'the next dayi Mr. Adams wore a pair of corduroy pants, of which a small portion remained unbarned, this showed/positively which body was his. ( The ire originated in the machine shop, but it is not known what caused the blaze. The fire was first discovered by William Culver, night watchman, but bad then gained such headway that it was practically impossible to check the flames, the plant being totally wrecked. In dollars, it will be impossible to determine the total loss untii the ruius copl sufficiently to get to the machiBftry and equipment. They are probably t?ood for nothing but jnnI?%ow, but there is a possibility. The greatjshauces are that the ' total loss will run close to $100,- 000. The factory has for years received an average of 90,000 pounds of milk per day, It has averaged paying the farmers $360,000 per year for milk, and over $40,000 per year for help. Other factories have compromised and hedged in panicky times but the Howell factory has always provided the cash without a failure. The value to the whole community, by having this stream of money flowing in regularly, winter and summer, has been beyond competition. Previous to eight years ago the company had carried heavy insurance. The business wap such, that not withstanding the great care always maintained, it was clearly seen that if fire ever did get started, it would be next to impossible to stop it. As a result the rales were very high. The company decided at the time,to set aside a fund from its earnings to make good it* fire losses, and carry its own insurance. It has been decided that the plant will be rebuilt. School Notes » • 3 h-.-. ;'"*f& v $ h e enrollment has increased ^ ¾ ¾ ^ ^ usual number m the prim ^ mary *nd intermediate rooms.

H. 8. ball team won an easy victory from the town team of OaV Grove at Monks Park last Saturday afternoon by slipping over 15 runs to the visitors 4. They were some husky bunch that Oak jrrove crowd but they could not cipher Swarthout's delivery and were easy marks, giving our boys good practice. Every man on the local team Becured one or more runs except Murphy who featured as a bunter to good results. Hill on the mound for the visitors was batted all over the lot and was replaced by Bravener in the sixth inning who did not prove much better. Pinckney has a first class ball team this year but only a baker's dozen seem* to turn out when the boys ought to receive and deserve better support The line-up was as follows: Aulo Turned Turtle Seven officials of the Olds Automobile Factory of Lansing, while going from Lansing to Detroit last Sunday, struck a sand bank just west of Howell corporation line, skidded to the ditch and while the driver was making a turn back to the road, the car turned turtle. They claimed they were going about 15 miles an hour. Everyone was hurt but no one killed. The men were: Mr. Steel, Geo. Scott, Robert Hoff, Geo. Grant, H. B. Patten, W. M.. Barton and Btrt Golden. Robert Hoff who was badly cut and bruised about the head is well known here and has many friends who will be sorry to learn of his misfortune.

Another amendment gives the banking department the right to examine the affair* of a receivership of any insolvent bank at any time; but particularly before directing the payment of any dividends or accepting annual report of a receiver. Further amendment provides for monthly meetings of the board of directors by at least a quorum thereof, rather than by a committee of three as in the past. Every state bank failing to hold regular monthly directors' meetings shall be subject to a penalty of $60 for each meeting not so held. Where sickness or absence from the state prevents the attendance of a sufficient number to constitute a quorum, the penalty does not apply. Section 3 of act 143 of the publie acts of 1889 was so ameided as to provide that in cases where corporate existence of state banks is not extended because of non-compliance with commissioner's requirements, the commissioner is authorised to take poasmoke of battle clears away.

The recall amendment did not go as far as to apply to the judiciary, but all other elective officers will now come under its provisions. Early in the session the 1913 legislature ratified the amendment to the federal constitution making for the direct election of United States senby the stockholders, at a price fixed, after they have had a reasonable opportunity to make subscription of their proportionate shares thereof. Hereafter, as the result of anether new law added to the statute books by present legislature, any officer who has active management of the bank is prohibited from participating in directors' examination, or to be a member of the directors' examining committee.

Another amendment permits state banks with capital stock of $25,000 to organize in cities or villages with population not exceeding 6,000. Under the present law such banks may organize in cities or villages where the population does not exceed 5.000. A large number of bills to promote the sanitary conditions and insure health for the people or the state were introduced and passed. The appropriation for the state board of health" was increased from $9,000 to $15,000. An important bill receiving the O. K. of the lawmakers was one which will compel nurses and physicians to take precautions against blindness when children are born.' The Henry bill which will compel hotels to install individual towels in all rooms and lavatories, to screen kitchens, and adopt other sanitary precautions, is one of the important health bills passed. The Schmidt drinking cup bill will compel all railroad trains to provide individual drinking cups. The Amberson bill provide* for an appropriation for the state school at Coldwater so that crippled children may be cared for. Perhaps no bill which- was passed received more cordial backing than the measure which will provide that where nuisances which are unsanitary are to be abated the health boards may order the work done and the cost charged to the owners on-the tax rolls. Other important health bills passed were: To give the state board of health the right to Inspect sewage and waterworks systems belonging to cities; amending the osteopathy.act; placing chiropractors under the state board of medical examiners; to provide for a commission to investigate insanity and feeble raindednesa; to provide for the department ' of a state Inspector of training schools for nurses; including school houses in public places which can be examined for comfort and public health; amending dental bill. Several important changes were made to the game laws and amendments were made (hat are expected to prove of benefit to the animal life of Michigan. The Corliss anglers license law provides that all persons fishing outside of their own counties and aliens must take out a license paying a fee of $3 for all kinds of fishing and $1 where they wish, to catch fish other than game fish. This money is to be turned into a fund to be used in supporting the fish hatcheries. Another bill passed was the Verdier measure which compels all hunters shooting outside of their own counties to take out a gun license of $1. The game warden's department will by this means add a large amount to the state treasury. Two freak game bills were passed. That to protect ediofflcer, director, or partnership, or corporation in which the officer or director is interested, must be secured by collateral, endorsement or a sworn statement must be filed in the bank showing sufficient net worth entitling them to such mortgage; the loan limit to be to any person, firm o r corporation remains at 20 per cent of the cap* ital and surplus. Another amendment also requires a two-thirds vote of capital and surplus to authorize liquidation.

Amendment to section 54 provides for-the same^proceediags for consilidat& fc ofHa^n**, >s lnMle^rid4tto|,;^naV ble frogs and the hill to prohibit shipping- turtles out o! the. state. Gams "Warden Gates has not yet designated which deputies will be his frog and turtle men. Perhaps the moat important and most needed bill was one which will give non-resident hunters the right to ship deer out of the state. Other game and fish laws passed make the following provisions: To allow rabbits to be killed and sold; fixing deer hunting season from November 10 to November 30; extending, closed season for squirrels to 1915; extending closed season on quail, pheasant, grouse, and wild turkey to 1917; to permit the shooting of bear; increasing the non-resident deer hunters license to $26; to limit the number of speckled trout, land locked salmon, grayling and California trout which can be caught to 35 per day; no fisherman can have more than 50 in his possession and the closed season is extended to September 15; providing that wild fowl may be shot half an hour before sun rise and half an hour after sunset; permitting the spearing of rainbow trout and steelhead trout not under 15 inches, during March and April; providing a closed season for frogs from November 1 to May 1; toallow the taking with seines of dog fish and other obnoxious fish; amending commerical fishing laws so as to permit taking of immature fish while fishermen are trying for chub; to increase wild life by game preserves; to allow the killing of two deer, providing, however, that no hunter shall kill two does. One of the most important bills of the session was the Odell measure providing for the sterilization of the epileptic and mentally deficient persons maintained wholly or in part by public expense in state institutions. The Martz bill which is passed and signed by the governor, prohibits the practice of professionals in palmestry, clalrroyancy, astrology or fortune telling by cards or other devices. For years attempts have been made to place such a law on the statute books, but all previous attempts have proved unsuccessful. Among the other bills relating to penal and reformatory institutions are bills to allow undersheriffs and sheriffs' court officers as well as sheriffs, police chiefs, and truant officers, to act as first friend for paroled convicts; to strengthen the law for the suppression of pandering and the prose* cution of offenders; giving boards of corrections and charities powers relative to the matter of requiring jails and infirmaries to be decent plaoes for detention; to give Judges who cite a husband for contempt of court for refusing or neglecting to pay alimony the option of putting the delinquent on probation Instead of sending him to Jail; providing that when a convict is paroled and for tome breach is taken back to prison the board of pardons and not the warden shall decide whether to give him another chance to reform. Banking Ctommisisoner Doyle is well satisfied with the so-called blue sky law which passed the legislature this year and says that it will do a great deal towards driving out the confidence men and fakers who ply their trade in Michigan. Five bills touching upon public school legislation Have become laws by virtue or the governor's signature. Probably the most Important of these is an amendment to the compulsory attendance law. Heretofore-any person who successfully passed the eighth grade has been exempt from compulsory attendance even though be or she might be under 1« years of age. This exemption will no longer apply unless the child shall secure a permit as required under the law governing the employment of minors and shall be regularly employed at some lawful work if physically able to do so. District boards may pay tuition of those who have not completed the eighth grade if they are nearer some other school house than their own. The only limit placed upon bonding a school district Is that the amount shall not exceed ten per cent of the total valuation. Any county, in. the state may now establish a school of agriculture" and domestic economy, the state paying up to $4,000 a year toward its support. School districts whether or* ganised under general or special acts may be consolidated if desired. Agriculture Is now included in the list of subjects on .which applicants for teachers' certificates must write. Boards of supervisors must pay the actual and necessary traveling expenses of the comity commissioners of schools and the school examiners.

PROVISIONS OF MUCH DISCUSSED MEASURE. Only Two Senators Vote in Negative When Bill Passes—May go ti Referendum Vote Before Effeotlve. Defeated finally in his diplomatic effort to dissuade the California legislature from enacting an alien land law affecting the Japanese, Secretary of State Bryan declared that he looked to the people of the state to express a final judgment through the referendum, before the act shall go into effect. Mr. Bryan's statement was made before an open joint meeting of the senate and assembly, immediately before his departure for Washington. The administration anti-alien land holding bill, drawn by Attorney General Webb, passed the senate by a vote of 36 to 2, after nearly 10 hours of debate. The only negative votes were cast by Senators Cartwrlght, democrat, and Wright, republican. A companion measure, identical in phraseology, passed the assembly and will be signed by Gov. Johnson, after "a reasonable time" has elapsed In whloh to hear possible protests from President Wilson, who has requested a respite. In the closing hours of the debate, partisanship was lost sight of. Democrats and progressives 'voted together in response to what they took to be the demand of the people of California. Their only difference in the end was over the question of whether the bill was drastic enough. The principal provisions of the bill are as follows: 1. Aliens eligible to citizenship may acquire and hold land to same extent as citizens. 2. All other aliens are limited to the specific rights conferred on them by the existing treaties between the United States and the nations of which suoh aliens are citizens or subjects. In the case of the Japanese, the bill prohibits ownership of farming" or agricultural lands, while permitting them to own residences and factories, manufactories and shops. 8. Leases of agricultural lands by such aliens are permitted for a period of not exceeding three years. There is a question as to whether renewals would be lawful. 4. Aliens ineligible to citizenship, cannot inherit land. On the death of an alien landowner, his property shall be sold by the probate court and the proceeds distributed to his heirs. 5. The state specifically reserves its sovereign right to enact any and all laws in future with respect to the acquisition of real property by aliens. 6. Present holdings of ineligible aliens cannot be bequeathed or sold to other aliens classified among those not eligible to citizenship. Peace Gengress Against Canal Act. The American peace congress at St Louis adopted resolutions urging the repeal of the clause in the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise vessels from the payment of tolls. "Failing in this," the resolutions add, "the controversy should be submitted to The Hague court for arbitration." Other resolutions express appreciation of the work of President Taft in negotiating the general arbitration treaties which later failed of consummation because of senate amendments; congratulate the nation on the failure of the two battleship program In the national congress; urge the president to open diplomatic negotiations loosing to the reduction of armaments and approve ths announced policy of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan to negotiate treaties of unrestricfe ed arbitration.

Helping, the Little Fellow. The United Shoe Machinery Company is the only real obstacle to the formation of a shoe trust We help the small manufacturer to start in business and keep going. He could not afford to buy and care for his machines, but he can afford to lease them on the terms we give him based on the number of shoes he makes—an average of less than 2 2-3 cents a pair *~and let us keep them up to date. That is a fair arrangement Some of the big fellows don't like our system, because they think we ought to give them special rates. But the little fellows stand with us because they know we treat all manufacturers alike no matter how many machines they use. If it were not for our methods of doing business there would be no small factories anywhere and no prosperous factories in small towns. The United Shoe Machinery Co, Boston, Mass.—Adv.

The scramble to find a sufficient number of candles so that the dinner might proceed was attended with a great deal of difficulty and no little amusement The butler, who is described as being a bit new to his job, was Immediately told to telephone to the electric company, report the catastrophe and demand attention to the matter. It was a trying moment for the guests when he returned to the dining room and announced in real Cockney accent : 'Please, my lady, the gentleman what's on the telephone says they sent several warning letters unless the account was paid active steps would have to be taken.'"

CAVXRLT, Pub. PINCKNET, . . - MIOHIQAN ( PIGTAIL 18 A BLE88INQ. Dr. John Budberg, an Englishman, hat entered a defense of the Chinaman's pigtail. He says the pigtail owed Its origin to hygienic motives, According to our authority, the effect of the pigtail is a more active circulation of the blood, which benefits the brain. He writes: "The observation we hear now and then that Chinese without pigtails show less intelligence strikes me as not altogether unreasonable, as an active circulation of the blood will not fail to influence the nourishment and development of the brain." He states that the head of a newly born baby is shaved, and no cloth, cap, or soft pillow is allowed to Interfere with the circulation of the scalp. When the child grows bigger, the hair is tied together in bunches, so as to expose the skin to the air, and thus promote perspiration. Later the hair Is grown so as to form a pigtail, and superfluous hair is shaved away. The effect is a high and smooth forehead and a face free from wrinkles, and hense even old Chinese have smooth faces and a Juvenile appearance. When rolled up on top of the head, the pigtail acts as a substitute for a cap and protects the bead from the glare of the tun and the cold of winter. It is also a neckcloth and a pillow. It is likewise ever at hand to cheok hemorrhage should a cord be seeded for that purpose. TRAIN ROBBED GOVERNOR WM. SULZER MAN E8CAPE8 W I T H OVER ONE T H O U S A N D . D O L L A R S AND JEWELS. NERVY MILLIONAIRE PISTOL DUEL, FIGHTS Passengers on Train Near Kansas City Are Relieved of Valuables at Point of Gun In Hands of Bold Robber. A dispatch from Parts says that » movement has been started in the gay city to substitute a less meaningless phrase for the popular salutation, "How do you do?" In the first place, the French idiomatic phrase of greeting cannot be rendered into the English "How do you do?" but literally translated Is "How do you carry yourself?" "How do you do?" is not insipid, but graciously suggests regard for one's friend by making it the first consideration to obtain assurance that he is in good health. This is the foundation idea of forms of greeting In all parts of the world, including such special Inquiries as that of "How's youi liver?" which prevails among the Eng llsh in the trying climate of India. The probability is that even the mercurla1 French would not be likely to ylelt readily to an invitation to change in a day a custom of centuries. But Paris correspondents often are more eon corned about amusing their reader; than Instructing them—and this die cusslon as to altering the form of sal utationmay afford an illustration oi that fact. A bandit, a man about 35 years old, six feet tall and of aggressive mein, robbed a passenger train near Kansas City. He escaped with $1,100 and jewels, and wounds that marked a red trail a mile long to the Blue river, where a boat awaited him. The wounds were at the hands oj u millionaire passenger. Jesse M. Short, former crack shot miner, who himself was badly wounded in a pistol battle fought through the portiers of Short's berth. It was a Kansas City Southern Gulf Coast train and the robbery occurred soon after the train left the Grand Central station. C. G. Gibson, conductor In charge of the train, when he heard the shooting, seized a pistol and, accompanied by a porter, a brakeman and express messenger, started for the Pullman car. Before they could clear the aisles of passengers so they could use their weapons, the robber had leaped from the train. THE MARKETS. Live Stock, Grain and General Farm Produce.

Editors In a Smash-up. Ten passengers received minor injuries, when the first section of a special ltrain carrying 40 members of the Western Michigan Press association from Grand Rapids to Denison park over the Grand Rapids, Holland & Chicago interurban road, collided with a work train at Jamestown, Ottawa county. The rear end collision occurred on a curve. The 40 editors were on their way to Denison park to attend a. banquet. * The benefits derived by our farm en from the pleasure of the motor car can hardly be estimated. It Is certainl] equal "to the happiness given by thi car to people in other walks of Ufa says Leslie's. It can also be claimed that in the purchase of the automobile by our country friends there is an economic future. It enables a daughtei or ton of a farmer living several miles from the village to market poultry, eggs, butter, and similar products, do the buying, and return home In two or three hours. In the old time* this would require the lota of the services of a man and a. team. Of course. It cannot be claimed from this standpoint alone that Its advantages are commensurate with the cost of the motor car and the upkeep. Another factor is of more value. The general use of cars by the farmers has given great popularity to this method. Gives Island,to Boat Club.

The story is told of a college professor "who was noted for his concentration of mind. The professor was returning home one night from a scientific meeting, still pondering over the subject.

"No, professor," answered the Intruder, who knew the professor's peculiarities. "That's strange. I was positive some one ivas under my bed," commented the learned man.

Embodies All the Best 8tyle Features »f the Season—Hat and Parasol to Match Add Brightness to theTollette. A costume shown here of grey charmeuse must appeal to everyone of refined taste. The style features of the season are embodied In it, and It 1B designed along very graceful lines, following those of the figure cleverly. The draped skirts are bunglesome and ungraceful except when managed carefully. Such good management Is shown in this case. The round neck with turn-back collar admits a gulmpe of lace if desired. The drop shoulder joins a small puffed sleeve terminating In a turn-back cuff. The collar and cuffs are made of brocade matching the gown in color. The modest split or curved seam at the left is about ankle high. Grey silk stockings and satin slippers are worn with the gown. A finishing touch is shown in the hat and parasol made to match. They brighten the toilette delightfully. The hat is of leghorn with a drapery of checked silk and trimming of broad velvet ribbon with a big cluster of roses at the back. For this particular gown the combination could not be better. The silk is in black and white check with cerise border and the roses are in shades of cerise mounted with broad velvet ribbon in black. COIJFORTER FOR BABY'S COT Pretty Adornment Expensive to Buy, but May Easily Be Made In the Leisure Moments. \ An exclusive shop Is displaying a lovely comforter for baby which can easily be duplicated at home. It is of white china silk trimmed with small pink rose*. The materials required for this fascinating article are two yards of silk, three and one-half yards of pink ribbon and one pound of cotton batting. Take one yard, of the silk and mark the position of the roses. Arrange these in seven rows across the width and seven across the, length, alternating four and three roses. Start the rows four Inches from the edge. Baste one piece of the silk to a layer of cotton before joining the other piece. Sew through the two pieces of silk and the cotton at the, places marked for the roses, and neatly whipstitch the four" a ides of the comforter together. To fashion the ribbon roses take one-eighth of a yard of ribbon a half inch in width. Turn under the edges and crease the ribbon at the center. Roll the ribbon around until a center Is formed and Bew firmly in position. Swirl the remainder of the ribbon loosely around the heart of the rose until it is completed. Fasten a rose securely to each place marked on the comforter. This is a lovely gift for the layette, for it is extremely dainty and not difficult to make. Crepe de chine or satin may be substituted for the silk if desired.— Boston Globe. [Practical Fashions W I T H T H E DROP SHOULDER. AFFECT THE MIND STRANGELY MADE TO SUIT ALL COSTUMES Important Part That Various Colors Play In Life Has Not Been Sufficiently Recognized. Have you ever stopped to think oi the important part that color plays in your life? Possibly not, but psychologists and some medical specialists—- and-they are paying more and more attention to the subject—say that some colors have all serts of curious effects to answer for. After a revolutionary outbreak some years ago in Russia, the fact came out. that the punishment meted out to several of the leaders of the rising was confinement in cells whose walls were painted violet. A few weeks spent in these cells turned keen-witted restlees men into dull, stupid fellows, who moved and spoke as dying men do after they have lost the power over brain and body. The effect of red is even more striking, red is said to produce restlessness and excitability, and no specialist will allow a highly nervous patient to remain long in a room that is either papered or furnished in that shade. And dressmakers complain that to work for any length of time upon a garment that Is tinted red will cause the seamstress to become tired, have a headache, and feel nauseated. Perhaps that is why blue, brown and white-have their turns as the "most popular color," while red is always a matter of individual taste, excep^ in the matter of occasional trimming. The new drop shoulder is one of the features of the shirt waists of the present season. The design offered herewith has this mark of novelty, the sleeves being inserted without any fullness well below the shoulder. They may be full length or finished with a cuff at the elbow. The waist closes in the center of the front, and opens slightly at the neck where there Is a Robespierre collar. This may be entirely omitted and the neck outline merely faced with a shaped band of some contrasting color. Buttons add much to the general effectiveness of a waist, and they are to be bad in many new and original colors and forms this season. All wash materials, especially lawn, pique and gingham may be used for this waist, and any of the soft silken fabrics will also be suitable. The waist pattern (6176) Is cut tn sizes 34 to 42 inches bust measure. Medium size requires 2¾ yards of 36 inch material To to " Pparttoecrunr e Dtehpisa rtpmatetnetr,n" osef ndth is10 pcaepnetro. sWurreit et on agmivee eainzde aanddd rensusm pbleari nolyf , paanttde rbne. CONSTANTINE MAN OF ACTION New Grecian Monarch Has Proved Himself Worthy of the Crown He Has Inherited. Constantino, the new king of Greece, is of Danish and Russian blood, his father having been a son of Christian IX, of Denmark, and his mother being the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Conetantlne, a brother of Alexander II. King Constantino was born in Athens and brought up under an English governess and German and Greek tutors. Later on he went to Berlin, where he received his education as a soldier, being attached to the Second regiment of Prussian foot guards. In 1897 he took command of the Greek troops in the war with Turkey, but his army was crushed in Theesaly. In April last he was appointed Inspector general of the forces, and has since shown himself a soldier of merit. At the moment of his accession he was in Epirus, conducting the military operations for sweeping the Turks out of that province. NO>6176. 8ZZBNAME .:.. TOWN STRSST AND NO STATE CHILDREN'S DRESS. Waists of Various Materials Intended to Complement the Skirt With Which They Are Worn. The waists now being featured for wear with tailored suits are, according to the Dry Goods Economist, made of matching chiffon, crepe-de chine, satin or messaline. White net and lace waists are also good style for supplementing the more dressy tailored suits. In many departments the models designed for special wear are grouped together on one table, or in the part of the counter. Waists for traveling, for athletic wear or for general utility purposes are made along the lines of the mannish shirt, In New York stores, such waists in dark-colored crepe de chine, messaline, brocade and fancy silks are strongly featured: In the washable varieties of crepe de chine, Jap Bilks and corded silks the ground is usually white, marked off with stripes in bright colors. Middy blouses, finished with a broad band over the hips, are strongly feat' ured for slender young women and girls* They are advertised by retailers as Balkan middy blouse*.

Cream batiste la also used in some of the handsomest flat collars with-Jabots. The collar portions follow largely the deep shoulder point idea and the jabots are of conservative size and style. Flat pleated jabots are especially liked. Net, figured end dotted crepes, plain and fancy ^ofles and crspe/de chine are among the other prominent mate* rials employed. Little girls cannot have too many dresses, and this little frock will make a pretty addition to the summer wardrobe. It is one of those boyish designs so well suited to plain, everyday usage. The waist is a long, straight shirt blouse, with two little tucks run* nlng lengthwise on each side of the front, and also of the back, from the shoulder to the belt In the center of the front there is a band in which buttonholes are worJted and the dress buttoned together.

Consumption of Grasshoppers Far Out- 'weojwS Harm Done to Other Birds and Beetles—Capable of Doing Much Good. (By F. E. U B E A M The southern butoher bird in some of its numerous, forms, is found ever much of the United States* ano is especially 'common to* the. Pacific coast All the forsls retire southward at the) approach of winter and in many localities are replaced during the arid season by the northern batcher bird, which comes down from the north and winters in the United States. The butcher bird resemble* a bird of prey in form of beak and to a certain extent m food habits, but It has no talons even as enable the true birds of prey to seise their victim and hold it while tearing It to pieces. For the Investigation of the food of the southern butcher bird 124 «temaohs of the western eub-epeites were examined and 88 of the e&itern. Tbe western bird showed $.5 per cent, of vegetable substances in their stomachs but the eastern ones contained noth- FEEDING ^ l U ^ )N SUMMER Missouri Expert Says It Is Cheaper Than Blue Grass Pasture—Formation of Good Dairy Cow. Dean Mumford of the Missouri college of agriculture makes the statement that cows can be maintained more cheaply on silage than they can be carried through the summer on tyue-grast pasture where the tan.d costs about $100 iter acre anil Is suitable for growinfe coins. He says .tfcfcj there is very little pasture Vknd wftere a cow and a calf cab be pastured on less than one and one-half acres, but it is entirely possible to get twelve and one-half to Princess 8alattne Carfotta, Owned by University of Missouri, Produced 18,405 Pounds of Milk and 7 2 f Pounds of Butter In One Year. twenty tons of silage from one acre. A cow and her calf can be carried through the summer- oh two pounds of clover hay and thirty-five pounds of silage per flay as well or better tbah oh blue-grass pasture. Thus he declares that you can carry a cow and her calf six months on less than a half-acre of silage. The good dairy cow has a broad forehead, indicating Intelligence and a kindly disposition. She has a short thin neck not at all beefy, in which veins are plainly manifest. She is narrow through the front shoulders and thick chested, indicating good lung capacity. She has a large, well rounded stomach, showing capacity for storage of food and water, from" which milk Is to be manufactured. She^has broad hips and a good width through the flanks, giving plenty of room of lacteal organs. There is also a gentle •incline from her shoulders to her rump. The udder Is large and soft, l hanging down well between her hind legs and extending forward and backward in a well balanced proportion. Her legs are short and her hair is a glossy color. Southern Butcher Bird. ing but animal matter. The animal portion of the food of western butcher birds consists of 83 per cent, spiders and a few snails, 2 per cent, and vertebrates IS per cent. The stomachs of the eastern forms show 68 per cent., spiders A per cent., and vertebrates 28 per cent. The difference Is undoubtedly due to climate, the western bird being able to find Insects all the year round, while the eastern one gets very few during the winter. While the southern butcher bird eats a few birds and some useful insects, Its diet is on the whole very much in its favor, as the consumption of grasshoppers far outweighs the harm to birds and beetles. As a feature of the landscape, and as lending animation to rural scenes, the shrike, or butcher bird, in California is a pronounced success, and, while not so numerous in the east, it is just as attractive and is doing the same good by its food habits. Removing Old Knives. To get the old knives off a sickle, just hold the sickle strip on an anvil, or whatever you use for an anvil, letting the knife stand over the edge, and one or two blows above the rivets will take the old knife off. In other words, let the old knife be its own chisel to cut the rivets off. DAnfiflNOIES Ego-Eating Habit Egg-eating is a habit that starts with hens, generally, that are out of condition. In other words, when the hen gets too fat and also when there bj a scarcity of lime in the bill of fare the shells of the eggs become thfn. When being laid these soft-shelled eggs usually break and the hen thus acquires a taste. It is always best to gather the eggs several times a day so that there will he no chance for breakage by hens crowding on the neat or by a newly laid egg striking tkose already laid. Wstore Makes No Mistakes, Nature Tory seldom makes a mistake. Like Is as sure to produce like m stock raisins; as In plantingaeed. The weak and poor vfll not produce food resslts anywhere.

No flock owner can achieve so* sees in the breeding of sheep, either for market or breeding purposes, if he resorts to constant crossing Br two different breeds to improve big flock. Regularity should be the keynote of every successful dairy system. Make a study of foods, and feed a balanced ration. This will save wastes When cut in the milk and cured, the oat and pea hay is most palatable and nutritious. A good dairy cow should have all the feed she will eat and digest, and keep in good health. Successful dairying depends entirely on right methods in breeding, feed: lng and management. The dairymen who are not successful do not apply ordinary business principles to their calling. Success in dairy farming depends not only on good stock, but also on good common sense work. Stir the cream twice a day, using a long-handled spoon which will reach to the bottom of th« cream jar. With good cows, good food, good staMes, all profits can be wiped out by an ignorant or cruel stable man. There may be occasional bad luck in the dairy business, but k almost invariably follows bad management An exposed or an abused cow will give less milk, and that milk of a poorer quality, than one well cared for. It is a well known fact that the cow that makes the largest profit is given the best care and most comfortable shelter. A cow has a peculiarly sensitive and delicate organisation. Heifers require a larger amount of feed for the production of a certain amount of milk than do older cows. They have to grow. The man with the hammer really is engaged in a process of slow sol' oide. And it isn't a happy death he is treating himself to, either. Breeding Immature Ewee. A good many sheep owners practice ths plan of breeding ewe lambs, which Is a poor practice from any standpoint. These immature ewes cannot be reasonably expected to produce strong, viggorous lambs and supply strong, vigorous lambs and supply make a good growth aad develop into profitable feeders, aad at ths same time reach a desirable degree of development and maturity themselves. Valuable Wsed trswicstor. Probably no animal is so valuable as a weed eradicati* as the sheep. They not only est a lerge variety of weeds and grasses, but they masticate so thoroughly that almost all the seeds are destroyed of digested, aad do sot sprout from the manure.

Fashioned in the Braids and Pressed Hate, and in Panamas—Trimmings May Be Entirely a Matter of Preference. Just an all around, good little hat which may be worn any where, Is the pretty little model Bbown here. This shape Is found (or others very like it) in all the braids and pressed hats and in Panamas. It is to be found trimmed with flowers, or with feathers in the straight stick-up effects; it is a favorite decorated with stiff ribbon bows wired to stand up in front or protrude at the back. Trimmed in these ways, made In all colors it is a favorite and a smart street style. When it must do duty for all round wear, including automobillng, it 'is trimmed to accommodate the veil to be worn with it. The broad, folded sash of ribbon and the large millinermade rose of velvet, which appear in the illustration show a development which fitB the hat for all sorts of wear. The shape fits well and provides some protection for the eyes. The small face veil for the street and traveling, or the big chiffon veil for driving add to its protection of the eyes and face. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. DICTATES OF FASHION. Colored embroidered trimming will be used on the new cottons. Many beautiful evening gowns are composed of rich gold brocaded tissues. Qreen in many tones is also a favorite color, especially dark Venetian green. Many afternoon dresses appear in crepon sole, crepe de chine and erepon gauffee. Charming silk and lace trimmed dresses or mousseline draped satin toilets are used. Lights on Table. Candles in colors to match the color scheme are used for decoration and light on the dinner table.

Single candlesticks are set at intervals along the sides and on the corners of the table.

You drop into a stationer's and ask In a casual tone for new visiting cards. The salesman inquires: "What kind, madam?" Hundreds of cards are whirled at you. You are informed that Mrs. Murray-Lothrop never uses old English lettering; you are assured that Mrs. Rutledge-Harmon prefers her cards to read with three names; those of her husband and herself and of her daughter. Your husband does not wish to use his middle name in full, but the man across the counter lifts bis eyebrows and tells you that initials may have been in style when George Washington was the first gentleman of America, but they are not used now by anyone who pretends to know social conventions. When you have decided on the entirely correct thing, which is a thin square bit of white pasteboard witb your name in full, engraved in block letters, shaded with the address beneath in the corner, then you will instantly wonder if it would not have been wiser to have ordered shaded old English lettering, which has, now taken the place of plain old English. The public will answer that question by saying that block letters are neater, cleaner and easier to read. What about your husband's cards? asks the man across the counter. Your first Impulse is to wonder why your husband cannot attend to his own cards, but when you are reminded that it is in better taste for the cards of the family to correBpond~in site and lettering you turn to the task with more confidence. . You choose an oblong bit of pasteboard with his name in full preceded by Mr. and followed in the lower corner with his address. You sigh. This task is done for the year, you think. At the moment of r e lief the man across the counter asks whether all of your husband's cards shall bear the name of his club. Now this is the one question for him to decide. There Is also the question of the bill—it is a wise plan to let him decide on paying that, too—as his share of the bargain. Much of World Urrexplored. , Despite the discovery of both poles, a large portion of the earth still remains unexplored. Roughly, it is estimated that about 7,000,000 square miles, or approximately one-eighth of the total land surface of the world, Is still a mystery to civilisation. Included in this area are vast tracts of polar region,/ portions of Arabia, jungle and mountain in South America, spreading wastes in Australia, regions in the Himalayas, dark haunts in Borneo, and the Congo basin, and stretches of the Sahara. FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS Atchison, Kan.—"For a number of years I suffered very greatly from skin eruption. My face was very red and irritated, being almost covered with pimples and blackheads. The pimples were scattered over my face. They were a fine rash with the exception of a few large pimples on my forehead and chin. My face burned and looked red as if exposed to either heat or cold. It was not only unsightly but very uncomfortable. I tried several remedies but couldn't get any relief. I was recommended to use Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. "I applied the Cutlcura Ointment in the evening, leaving it, for about five minutes, then washing it off with Cutlcura Soap and hot water. 1 washed with the Cutlcura Soap and hot water also several times during the day. After about four months of this application, my face was cleared of the pimples. I still use the Cutlcura Soap." (Signed) MUs Elsie Nlelson, T3ec. 29, 1911.

NEW MODE IN M0UCH0IRS Smartest Marking for the Handkerchief Is Undoubtedly the Undec* orsted Initials. Underrated Initials, either script or blocked, are the smart marking for handkerchiefs. Among the daintiest of these are the fine white linens finished with a tiny edge of Armenian lace. The Longfellow type of Initial surrounded by an elaborate decoration also is used, but chiefly on the a-Jour hemmed handkerchiefs among which are found many carrying Oriental initial designs. One corner designs, showing a pattern starting close to the decorated edge and running toward the handkerchiefs center, are liked and women who go in for variety in small accessories are taking to the one-side embroidered mouchoir. With the morning shirt waist frock for the house but one type of handkerchief is carried—the square of lawn and solid color with narrow border in contrasting tone. Cluny laces' are used in touches of trimming at the neck and sleeves oa many of the more expensive gowns. finished off with a fine pink and white silk cord. ^ For an oval cushion, four Inches in length, two and a half inches in width, and an inch and a half in height Is a useful little size in whlcb to make It, and for the circular cushion three and a half Inches In diameter and an inch and a half In height Charming Crepe de Chine Blouse. Yoke effects are much the vogue now, and some of the new shirtwaists and costume blouses for spring show shallow yokes in effective combination with very open collars. A blouse of this sort was made of crepe de chine in a new rich shade of blue. The shallow yoke over the shoulders wsa attached to the gathered blouse under corded piping, the yoke extending down to form a long shoulder line. A broad, very low collar of the orepe de chine opened In front of the point of intersection of yoke and waist, and over this broad collar tamed hack an equally low hut narrow white moire silk collar. The long sleeves had deep, fitted cuffs of the crepe, and narrower turn bach cuffs of white meire. This smart and artistic little blouse accompanied a spring traveling costume of, blue silk—end wool laaadowne in the same shade. ~ Baby's Bath Downs.

DOWN LOW , THE LITCHFIELD DOWN-LOW Spreader gives r Low Top Railabout waist high, which makes it extremely easy to load. A man in handling the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may throw it from him. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rail than what we build, as there would be no advantage in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat turns over out ot the way in front and us just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to throw it id another pile on the ground. DON'T FORGET. The Self-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield Features. You will look for them in vain on any other spreader. High Under Clearance A PECULAR FACT. The Litchfield Down-Low has substantially the same Under Clearance that our High Standard machines have. We—use the same size wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives us from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and same clearance under the front axle that we have always had in the high machines. Just compare this with the eight or ten inches clearance found under other low down spreaders. — < « m^ DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of bnyin* a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if it does not have sufficient uuder clearance. Like everything else, the tendency toward low down manure sqreaders has gone ii cases a little to far ano! this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Gi S h o r t Wheel Base WE MOUNT OUR SPREADERS on the rear wheels so that these traction wheels take a sufficient proportion of the load and have sufficient traction to properly eperate the unloading machinery. We get away from the heavy draft that is a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders, We turn in a shorter circle and in a smaller place and our machine has much more activity and is much stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between the front and the rear wheels instead of being mounted on the rear axle. This means light draft, strength, durability and convenience. We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea Manure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleasure in showing and will make better terms than you can get elsewhere.

"THE GRANARY OF NORTH AMERICA." GOVERNOR 8ULZER SAYS T H A T OF WE8TERN CANADA. The close ties of friendship existing between the United States and Canada were dwelt upon in addresses by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Canada, and Governor Sulzer, at the annual dinner of the University Club of Albany. "Canada and the United States," said Premier Borden, "have a common heritage in the language, Che literature, the laws, the institutions and the traditions which have come down to them from the men of bygone days. "Perhaps no more Instructive object lesson ever has been given to the world than the four thousand miles of undefended boundary line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears silent but eloquent testimony to the mutual confidence and respect of the two nations. Time will shortly place upon the brow of each nation the laurel of one hundred years of peace. It matters not so much as to the form of the outward celebration, but let us hope that its full significance may sink deep into the hearts of both nations, and that, whether north or south of the boundary, we may stand with bowed and reverent beads, offering grateful thanks for the Divine blessing of peace, and earnest prayers that In the century to come, mutual confidence, good-will and respect may truly animate the ideals and aspirations of both nations/1 Referring to the natural resources possessed by the United States and Canada, particularly along the 8 t Lawrence River, the premier urged that they be "preserved and developed for the people." Governor Sulzer predicted that the "Great Canadian Northwest is designed to become, before long, the granary ot North America." "Many of our best citizens, I regret to say," said the governor, "are leaving the States of the west and going into the Canadian northwest, because of the fertility of its soil, the liberality of the Canadian government and the ability of those people to better their conditions here. "We should extend to them a helping hand in their onward march of progress. Instead of closing our doors by tariff barriers against these countries and their products, In my opinion, we should open them wider and do everything in our power to facilitate closer commerolal relations. We want their products and they want our products, and all restrictions to prevent a fairer and freer exchange of goods, wares and merchandise should, in so far. as possible, be eliminated."—Advertisement. •enzlne Explosion Kills Five. •Five men are dead out of eight injured in an explosion of benzine on board the new Hamburg-American liner Imeprator, at Cuxhaven.

Pinckney, Livipgston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 24, 1913 No. 17 r tmm A Gold Medal A i?old medal to the boy or girl between the a gee of 10 and 15 years who writes the best sop position, not to exceed 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roads, is to. be awarded by Logan Waller Page, Office of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, JSH compositions must be submitted to Mr. Page before May 15th, 1913, and the medal will be awarded*as soon thereafter as the composition can be graded. The composition^ may be based on knowledge gained from books or other sources; but no quotations should be made. Only one side of the paper must be written upon and each page sbould be numbered; the name, age and address of the writer, and the name and location of the school which she of he is attending must be plainly written at the top of the first page. ' After many years experience in dealing with tin public road situation of the country, it is Mr. Page's belief that ignorance on the subject of repair and maintenance of roads is as much the cause of their bad condition as any one factor. It is expected that the competition will bring about a better understanding of the subject of repair and maintenance in the rural districts. Many children living in the rural districts have experienced the disadvantagepf roads made impassible thro a lack of maintenance and it's expected that their interest in the competition will stimulate greater interest among the parents. Bad roads have prevented many children from obtaining a proper education and have even prevented doctors from reaching the side of rural patients in time to save their lives. For Cheaper Fuel \jfe respectfully commend for consideration by the Democratic party the problem of cheaper fuel for gasoline engines. The price of gasoline has reached a point where other fuel will have to be considered. It has been demonstrated that denatured alcohol can be manufactured at a profit to sell at about 10 cents, but the government restrictions placed upon it makes it impossible as a competitor of gasoline until they are removed. The gas engine is becoming of almost universal use on the farm as well as in the city and some effort should be made to reduce the fuel proportion and the problem should be considered along with the tariff reduction.—Fowterville Review.

FOLLOWS THE SAME COURSE AS ROOSEVELT AND TAFT. It It Expected the Anti-American Demonstration Will Be Abated When Attitude of Governrnent 1» Made Known. Alarmed by the earnestness of the Japanese in manifesting their objections to the anti-Japanese legislation pending in the state of California, President Wilson abandoned his policy of "hands off" and put the international phase of the situation squarely before Gov. Hiram Johnson, of California. Secretary Bryan in a message inspired by the president informs the governor that while the right pXjthe state of California to enact such legislation as she may see fit on the subject of land tenure, they are urged to recognize the international character of such legislation and strike out the words "ineligible to citizenship." . Thus President Wilson has adopted essentially the same course in handling the anti-Japanese tendencies of the sPaciftc coast as was taken by former President Roosevelt in 1907 and more recently by President Taft. Temporary relief from the strained relations now existing is expected promptly when the president's message is published in Japan. A^-htrge part of the Japanese resentment is •aid to be due to the "fact* that the Japanese people-as a whole have believed the JetTeral government was entirely billing that California adopt »ven the most drastic measures.vIt is expected that when the president's efforts to smooth out the situation becomes known that there will be at least a suspension of the anti-Amerioan demonstrations and the talk of making war on the United States.

"THE CLIMATE OF WESTERN CANADA." AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CANADA'S IMMIGRATION. A letter dated February 2, 1913. published in a "People's Voice" column In a Swedish paper, while dealing with other conditions in Canada, such as grain yield, social conditions, etc., says: "We have had fine weather until New Year's, when some snow fell and was cold for a few days, but during the past few days we have lovely weather again.'' The writer, who lives near Davidson, Susk., sayS they got Worn 30 to 35 bushels of wheat per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about 20 bushels Df flax. All homesteads aro taken in the vicinity, but wild land can fee bought at reasouabl- figures. Word fi'om Alberta gives the information that up to the 22nd of Februtry there were eighty-four and a quarter ^ours of bright sunshine, but that did not come up to the corresponding month of 1912, when the meteorological department registered 120 Lours for the 29 days. February was exceptionally fine all through, but 1912 went one better, and was a glorious month. However, taking the weather generally throughout the northern hemisphere, February has been marked by serious and severe disturbances resulting in heavy storms, bad weather and low temperatures in many other parts. The coldest temperature this week occurred on Tuesday morning, when the thermometer registered 23.5 below, and the coldest Wednesday was ; i below. During the last fortnight of February 0 and 8.7 hours of bright sunshine spread its glorious rays over Edmonton, and this out of a possible total of about ten hours Is something to talk about.—Advertisement. Temptation may com© to the woman who sits, down and waits, but a man usually meets it half way. HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED Abbotsford, Wls.*r-"My son had e«* Kema on his hands for about one year. The eczema started with a rash. His hands were sore so he could not close them, and when he wet his hands they hurt him so he could hardly wash. His hands itched and burned just terrible and if he would scratch them, -they would break out into sores. He could lot get any rest or sleep, and his lands looked quite bad. "We had medicine and^ salve and it kept getting worse all the time. I got some Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after washing his hands with the Cuticura Soap and putting some of the Cuticura Ointment on two times a d*r and tying cloths on them for about six months they got well and have not broken out since. Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured him entirely." (Signed) Mrs. Lawrence Kiehl, Feb. 18, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, severe headaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularity, constipation and dizziness are promptly treated by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life. This is the most critical period of woman's life and she who neglects the care of her health at this time invites incurable disease and pain. W h y not be guided by the experience of others and take Lydia E . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ? It is an indisputable fact that this grand old remedy has helped thousands of women to pass through this trying period with comfort and safety. Thousands of genuine and honest testimonials support this fact From Mrs. HENRY HEAVILIX, Cadiz, Ohio. Fort Worth, Texas. — " I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and derived great benefit from its use. It carried me safely through the Change of Life when I was in bad health. I had that all gone feeling most of the time, and headache constantly, I was very nervous and the hot flashes were very bad. I had tried other remedies and doctors, but did not improve until I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has now been sometime since I took the Compound and I have had no return of my old complaints. I always praise your remedies to weak women."—Mrs. HENBT HEAVILIN, ft. F. 1). No. 5, Cadiz, Ohio, From Mrs. EDWARD B. HILBERT, Fleetwood, Pa. Fleetwood, Pa.-—" During the Change of Life I was hardly able to be around at all. I always had a headache and I was so dizzy and nervous that I had no rest at night. The flashes of heat were so bad sometimes that I did not know what to do. " One day a friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it made me a strong, well woman. I am verythankful that I followed my friend's advice, and I shall recommend it as long as I live. Before I took the Compound I was always sickly and now I have not had medicine from a doctor for years. You may publish my letter."—Mrs. EDWARD B. HILBERT, Fleetwood, Pa. From Mrs, F. P. MULLENDORB, Munford, Ala. Munford, Ala.—" I was so weak and nervous while passing through the Change of Life that I could hardly live. Mv husband had to nail rubber on aU the gates for I could not stand to nave a gate slam. " I also had backache and a fullness in my stomach. I noticed that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was advertised for such cases and I sent and got a bottle. It did me so much good that I kept on taking it and found it to be all you claim. I recommend it to all women afflicted as I was."—Mrs. F. P. MULLENDORE, Munford, Ala. KWrite to LYDIA E. PINKHAM MEDICINE CO.

A man in handling the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may throw it from bim. This meaus that it would be usSTSsTlo'ftSaTttili lower top rail than what we build, as there would be DO advantage in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat turns over out ot the way in front and us just as easy to load Onto this machine as it is to throw it in another pile on the ground. DON'T FORGET. The Self-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Cog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield Features. You will look for them in vain on any other spreader. High Under Clearance A PECULAR FACT. The Litchfield DtownTLow has subsuntially the same Under ClenratweHhat our High Standard machines have. We use fhe same size wheels—tb*axles are the same distance from the ground. '1 his give* us from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and same clearance under the front axle that we have always had in ihe high machines. ' Just compare this with the eight or ten inches clearance found under other low dowu spremiers. DON'rttAKfe THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a ra mure spreader. Any machine ISOOQ becomes a sled in muddy anci rough ground'if it does not hive sufficient under clearance. Like everything else, the tendency toward low down manure sqrenders has gone in moet cases a little to far and this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Ground^ Short Wheel WE MOUNT OUR SPREADERS on the rear .wheels so that these traction wheels take a sufficient proportion of the lead and have sufficient traction to properly aperatejhe unloading machinery. We get away fiom the heavy draft thait is a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders. We tarn in a shorter circle and in a smaller place and oar machine has mach mote activity and is much stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between the front and the rear wheels instead of being mqanted on the rear axle. This • means light draft, strength, durability and convenience. We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea^ Manure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleasure in showing and will make better terms than you can get: elsewhere.

UAV1CRLY, r*ub. • • • MICHIGAN AMBASSADOR FROM JAPAN M A R R I A G E A N D DIVORCE. The Quehtiou of divorce could be solved if the more important question of marriage were properly settled first. There would be as few divorces" la the United States as there are iu Europe it the same safeguards which protect marriage in the older countries were thrown around marriage In this country. A uniform marriage law is more needed in the United BUte* than a uniform divorce law. It is the essential preliminary to any effective handling of the divorce problem. Divorces in this country would be reduced in number by two-thirds it, as Is the law in England, no marriage could take place until the banns have been published for three weeks —If no girl could marry without her parents' consent until she was twenty- one years old. The pauses allowed for the granting of divorce in Illinois are all reasonable, says the Chicago Tribune. Incurable Insanity should be a cause for divorce. Certain diseases should be sufficient cause, as well as incurable diseases concealed before marriage. The English divorce commission has recommended the recognition of these three causes If the Illinois commission on uniform divorce and marriage laws will take the Divorce Beast by the horns and not by the tail there will be a much better chance of mitigating the divorce evil.

A series of experiments has been held at Versailles to determine the comparative value of different devices Intended to act as mudguards for the protection of people walking in the streets as well as of the occupants of the automobiles to which they are attached. The world at lange is concerned in the result of these experiments, for undoubtedly when the most effective mudguard is discovered and demonstrated it will come into use throughout the world at large. The last will and testament of J. i'ierpont Alor&an has been offered for piobate in New York, it begins with a striking utterance of the late financier's belief iu the salvation of his soul through the merits oX the blocu of Jesus Christ. The exact amount of.the estate can not be deteriniutd until the appraisement for inheritance tax has been made, but it is estimated that it will approximate one hundred million dollars. The will was executed on Jan. 4, last, and a codicil attached on the 6th. Less than twenty million* are left in bequests and the entire residueeot the estate goes to his son, J. P. Morgan, Jr. It is estimated that it will amount to the largest sum ever inherited by an individual in America. Relatives, servants, employes and various charities are remembered. The widow is to receive $100,000 a year and the proceeds of a trust fund together with country and city residences during life. T h e t w o sons-inlaw receive one million •dollar* each.

A New York hotel, one of the prominent ones of that city, has a scheme which it has just put in operation by which It hopes to solve the tipping question.

This act will relieve guests of the necessity of paying twice for service. This probably Is the beat scheme yet presented as a solution to the tipping evil, It is sane,, and while assuming that a majority of guests would resent a request not to tip waiters'and recognizing that' It would be an Impossibility to enforce an order to prevent waiters from accepting tips, the management has taken the dignified way out of the difficulty.

CULTURE OF POTATOES CARE F0R THE H0USE PLAN1 Opinions Differ on Proper Depth to Plant Tubers. Soma Growers Advocate Shallow Planting, While Others Are Just as Strong Irt Favor of JDeep Method—One Good Test. 8hould Have Plenty of Water by Soaking in Tub or Plunge In Bath Tub to- Refresh Them. (By K. 8ANDSTEN.) The depth at which potatoes should be planted is a matter of considerable importance, and one upon which much difference of opinion exists. Some growers advocate shallow planting, and others just as strongly favor deep planting. That there must be a depth at which the highest yield may be obtained Beems reasonable. This depth will undoubtedly vary with difference in weather conditions, consequently any investigation along this line should be carried on for several years in order to obtain reliable data- An experiment was made at Iron River, Wis., on sandy soil of rather open texture, to get some information on this point. The ground was plowed in the fall and given a dressing of manure at the rate of ten loads per acre in the spring. This was disked into the ground thorbughly before planting. The land was nicely leveled before planting by means of a drag. Twentyone rows, running north and south, were planted, each row three feet apart. The' potatoes were planted with a planter in order, as folfows: (By FRANCU8: L. RISI.ET, RockvlUe, Conn.) Plants that have been la the house all winter in a dry atmosphere will dry out quickly. Give plenty of water by soaking in a tub or a plunge in the bath tub and spray the leaves often. This will refresh them, and also destroy the red apis which multiply continually.

The yields were 140 bushels per acre when planted at a depth of four Inches, 124 bushels when planted six inches deep, and 102 bushels when planted eight Inches deep. The shallower planting allowed the potatoes to come up and mature more quickly, thus escaping the effects of dry weather. rows. The potatoes planted at four inches came up first, those at six inches second, while the rows planted at eight inches came up last. There was a difference of about two daya between each set. The set planted at four inches grew fastest and produced somewhat stockier vines. The deepest planting was not quite as good a stand, although the difference was not very great. Exactly the same treatment as to cultivating, spraying, etc., was given to all the rows. No weeds were allowed to growi and the beetles were killed before they did any material damage. The crop was dug the latter part of September, with the following results: The potatoes planted four inches deep yielded at the rate of 140 bushels per acre; the six-inch depth yielded at the rate of 124 bushels per acre, and the eight-Inch depth, 102 bushels per acre. From this it would seem that six inches would be the maximum depth at which to plant potatoes. Alfalfa aa Pork Maker. At the Kansas experiment station 800 pounds of pork were, made from onertbn of alfalfa hay, and 770 pounds from an acre of alfalfa pasture. At the -Nebraska station hog rations consisting of one-fourth alfalfa hay showed the alfalfa hay worth Its weight in e o n meal and superior to the same weight, of bran. The Iowa station, made pig pork at 13.¾4 per 100 pounds and realized; 71.1 cents per bushel for corn; with alfalfa and corn, pork cost %1M per 100 pounds, and corn returned 86.6 cents per bushel—a difference x>f, 331-3 per cent in favor of alfalfa Cheap %—o%.

IMPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS Immense Amount of Money Paid to Foreigners That Should Have, Gone to American Farmers. Swine Manure. An important consideration that is too often overlooked is the economical utilization of manure produced by swine. Dry-lot feeding in summer is often associated with a heavy waste of manure on account of the large part of the manure that is leached or blow away when depositee!, in bare lots. Feeding on pastures or in cultivated fields will do/ much to obviate this loss, since a large proportion of the droppings and urine will then be deposited in the field where the fertilising constituents may be utilized. HORTICULTURAL %&£*& NOTE'S Do not allow anything to grow over the roots of fruit trees. • Fruit trees, as a general rule, do not appreciate light, sandy soils . Make sure that the site for the new orchard can be easily drained. Calliopsis Is a desirable quick growing annual for the cut-flower garden. Many failures from spraying result from working when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Sow a few asters, pansies, cobea, and hardy carnations in the house the last of the month for earliest flowers outside. When setting any of the bush fruits the top should be pruned to correspond to the root pruning the plant gets in transplanting. Keep on the constant lookout to destroy insect eggs and cocoons frequently seen near rubbish heaps and on the bark of trees. The sweet cherry la the only tree fruit that can be universally set out in the fall successfully and be better than for spring setting. Some fruit growers say that It is not a good plan to plow an orchard when the trees are in blossom—better do It before or after. Do not plant many varieties of trees in the new apple orchard. The apple buyers like to find as many of ons variety as they can together. Any kind of fruit tree will die when planted la ground that is all the time saturated with water. The tile ditch is a necessity In soma places. ' The Senator Dualap strawberry,' Beta grape, King raspberry and Wealthy apple are good fruits for the garden.

A remedy that does not perform b y • force w h a t should be accomplished by persuasion is Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets. After using them, Mr. N. A. Waddell, 3 i s Washington St., Waco, Tex., says: "Almost all my life I have been troubled with constipation, and have tried many remedies, all of which seemed to cause pain without giving much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and found them excellent. Their action is pleasant and mild, and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. I am more than flAd to recommend them." "Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual constipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics vou have been using in th? past. fhey taste Vke candy and work like a charnj.

An exchange say:"A man has just invented a system whereby eavesdropping on telephone lines will be absolutely eliminated, so it is reported. With the use . of the device nobody but two parties conversing will be able to hear what is said. The man who has perfected this invention has intruded upon a sacred and alienable right of the American people. Under the constitution the citizens of this countryare enjjtled to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. To t^ se three should be added a fourth the right to listen to conversation jver party line telephones. Why do a great many curious citizens install telephones and pay for them? Why, indeed!"

Eat Mush and Be Well A famous doctor Bays: "Eat a good bowl of mush and milk for, your breakfast and you will not need any medicine." Indian corn contains a large amount of nitrogen, has qualities easily assimilated, and is fattening. It is cheap and has great nutritve propertieH as well. A course of Indian meal in the shape of mush, Johnny cake,hoe cake, corn bread, etc., followed by copious draughts of water or better still, cow's milk, to which if inclined to dyspepsia, a little lime water may be added, will make life now a burden, worth living, and you need no other treatment to correct your nervous ness and brighten your vision and give you sweet and peace'ul bleepT P.

The first promises a sample of the writer's power on a certain day. On that day the head is mysteriously cut from a portrait of Cameron while the latter Is in ttie room. While visiting Cameron In his dressing room a Nell Gwynne mirror is mysteriously s h a t t e r e d . Cameron becomes seriously ill as a result of the shock. The third letter a p p e a r s mysteriously on Cameron's sick bed. It m a k e s direct t h r e a t s against the life of Cameron. Clydo tells Cameron t h e envelope was empty. He tells Evelyn everything and plans to t a k e Cameron on a yacht trip. The yacht picks up a fisherman found drifting- helplessly In a boat. He Rives the name of Johnson. Cameron disappears from yaeht while Clyde's back is turned. A fruitless search Is made for a motor boat seen by t h e captain Just before Cameron disappeared. Johnson is allowed to go after being closely questioned. Evelyn takes the letters to an expert In Chinese literature, who pronounces them of Chinese origin. Clyde seeks assistance from a Chinese fellow college student, who recommends him to Yup Sing, most prominent Chinaman in New York. Clyde goes to meet Yup Sing, sees Johnson, att e m p t s to follow him, falls into a basement, sprains his ankle and becomes unconscious. Clyde is found by Miss Clement, a missionary a m o n g the Chinese. H e Is sick several days as a result of inhaling charcoal fumes. Evelyn tells Clyde of a peculiarly acting anesthetic which renders a person temporarily unconscious. Murphy is discovered to have mysterious relations y i t h the Chinese. Miss Clement promlwiT'to get information about Cameron. Slump in Crystal Consolidated, of which Cameron 1B the head, Is caused by a rumor of Cameron's Illness. Clyde finds Cameron on Fifth avenue in a dazed and emnclated condition and takes him home. Cameron awakes from a long sleep and speaks in a strange tongue. Evelyn declares the man Is not li^r unrle. Fvelyn and Clyde call on Miss Clement for promised information and find that the Chinaman who was to give it has just been murdered. Miss Clement gives Clyde a note, asking him to read it nfier he leaven thfc mission and then destroy it. It tells of the abduction of a white man • bv Chinese who shipped him hack to China. The man is accused of the crime of "Sable L o r c h a " in which 100 Chinamen were killed. The a p p e a r a n c e in New York of the man thev supposed they had shipped to China throws consternation into the Chinp.se. The b r o u g h a m in which Clyda and Evelyn are riding in held up bv an armed man, Clyde is seized by Mnrnhy and a fight ensues. Evelyn and Clyde are rescued by the police and return home. They find Yup Sing and the Chinese consul awaiting them.

Thev declare t h a t M'NIsh can be Identified by' a lattoo m a r k on his arm. Clyda declares that Cameron h a s no such mnrk.

"Why didn't you explain, dear, to the captain?" Evelyn asked, with one of those bursts of naivette that contrasted so charmingly with her usually abounding good judgment. Cameron Bmiled. "I couldn't pet near the captain, my child," he returned, indulgently. "It wasn't because I didn't try. The officers ridiculed my assertions as pipe dreams, and when, at each port, I pleaded to be allowed to communicate with our consul, I was only kept under stricter guard." And so his story continued, interrupted at intervals by questions from one or another of us, until we had the whole wretched tale of cruelty, including the final chapter which preceded the rescue. When he learned that every stoker and trimmer", save himself, had been ordered on deck, still hoping against hope that the outside world had at length been moved to intercession in bis behalf, he demanded to be allowed to go with the rest. And when his demand was refused he rebelled, fighting hit way to liberty with an iron bar from a cinder-tub, which he had purposely concealed for such emergency. I have no inclination to test patience by detailing all the events and recording all the dialogue of that happy day. Much that happened and much that was said I must leave to the imagination of those that read. But I cannot refrain from the statement that Cam iron's rikerin^ and reconciliation with his old friend Dr. Addison was one of the brightest spots in a delectable constellation. The meeting between Kvelyn and her uncle was an episode, too, to touch the sensibility of the most apathetic. And If there had lingered a single doubt as to the wisdom or expediency of accepting their companionship on my expedition 01! rescue it must have been dispelled by the emotional thrill which these scenes provoked. Our homeward voyage, which all of us were anxious should not be delayed, was by way of Naples. Hartley, who appeared to be able to go and come as he pleased, accompanied us that far, and our'farewells to him, on the deck of the Koenig Albert, were combined with a fervor of gratitude that exhausted our powers of expression. Kvelyn begged me to be permitted to kiss him good-bye, but there I was forced to draw the line. Her caresses in my own direction had not, up to that moment, been to lavish that I felt I could spare any of them, even for this young Englishman, notwithstanding my abundant appreciation of the inestimable service he had rendered, and that was precisely what I told her, when on the first evening out, she had demanded to know my reasons for refusal. " "You're a very selfish man," she retorted, with a pout. "And I'm npt at all sure, now, that I shall ever kiss you again. Besides—-' And there she stopped. We had reached the after end of the deck in our post-dinner promenade, and had paused there, leaning on the rail, to watch the phosphorescent gleam and glitter among the tuibulent white wake-waters. Cameron and Dr. Addison wore talking over their cigars in steamer chairs amidships, and the girl and I were alone together for the first time since her uncle's restoration. "Besides?" I repeated, questioningly. The big blue eyes she turned to me were never more roguish. "Besides," she said, low-voiced and with a just perceptible quiver, "until you keep your promise, I don't see that you have any right to dictate to me." I knew very well what she meant. Ever since Cameron had come running backward around that deck-house corner— I think evr n at the minute I recognized his \ a Iced, smut-covered shonlf'-Ts-- -T ]'••<' had that promise in mind, mid h;i,i ]:ir:?.:od for the moment of i': •!!•,:.••,- it Hut till now not even :: • :,-,, - • opportunity had offered. .\('Vi'Y* i.ek'sn, her present mood wria loo r-niMcly winsomely lovable to bf> lienor' r d, and the impulse to prolong it by leasing too strong for resistance. "Keep my promise?" I queried, mingling with assumed perplexity a certain suggestion of injury. "Have I ever failed you in anything?" She turned :\\\;\y now, silently, and Ihe eclipse of the eyes I loved left me suddenly repentnnf; still 1 persisted, "Have I ever failed you?" I asked again. Quickly her gaze came back, and her eyes had taken something of the cold, snapping fire of the phosphorus. "Since you don't remember," she said, "it's of no consequence. Only you were so sure that you couldn't forget." "Give me a hint," I begged, still cruel. "When did I promise?" "I couldn't be so unmaidenly,1' was her retort, looking away again. "Was it before we came over here, or since?" "Before," after a pause. "Long before?" "Not very." "Where? At your house?" "Yes." "In the library?" I asked, with a glance behind for possible intruders. She turned quickly and found me laughing. "Oh, you dear, sifly, lovable, delightful child!" I cried, and the echo of my words was carried far astern, as my arms went about her and held her close, and my kisses fell thick and fast on her ripe, tender little mouth. "What need had I to keep such a promise?" I asked, when in mercy I paused that she might get her breath. "Why should I ask you to tell me that you, loved me, when I could read it in letters as long as your glances and as bright as your smile?" And if we left Cameron and Dr. Addison much alone together during our homeward voyage, who that still remembers their own happy days of young love dreaming can blame us? , For a long while there remained In my mind as legacy from the strange case of Cameron and the Sable Lorcha conspiracy a seemingly insoluble problem. On our return to America, my friend, in spite of all my urging, refused, with stubborn persistency, it seemed to me, to aid in the prosecution of those who, we knew positively, were implicated in the affair. Concerning Murphy, Yup Sing and _a score or more of their satellites we could have produced evidence of the most damaging character. But Cameron was not so minded. He even went so far as to discourage my appearance against the fonner for complicity in the plot to take captive Evelyn and myself on the night of our Pell street visit. Indeed I have always believed that through O'Hara be was lnttru: mental in securing Murphy's release i i • JP" .,, .-..,,.. ,.,,, . - . * And I know for a I'iict that he provided so generously for the young French driver of the electric brougham, who was so badly injured in that Pell street adventure, that the fellow returned to France a month before the trial of his assailant. All these things, I say, continued to puzzle and disquiet me, long after the sharp edges of rancorous remembrance had been worn away. And invariably at such times there would recur recollections or those early days of the threatening letters and of that elusive something in Cameron's manner which I was never quite able to comprehend or explain. j Tiie true interpretation was re- ! served for the night preceding my marriage with Evelyn, which, by the \ way, had, at her guardian's wish, been delayed for nearly a year because of what he chose to regard as her unseemly youth. The celebration was to take place at Cragholt and the house was already filled with kinsfolk and intimate friends, including most of the wedding party. It was after midnight, and Cameron and I were alone together in his ma-- hogany and green study; he at his writing table and I in the same adjacent leather chair in which I had sat a twelvemonth ago while listening to the story of the incised portrait As was not unusual we had reverted to that time an3 to certain of the incidents therewith connected; and I had been trying to make clear to Cameron, as I had already frequently tried to do, the peculiar difference between McNish's expression and his. "In individual feature," I said, warming to my subject, "there never was in all the world before, I believe, such similarity. And in repose, the ensemble, I should say, was equally identical. But when it came to—" And there Cameron checked me. "Clyde," and his Lone was strangely grave, it seemed to me, "you'll pardon my interrupting you, I know. I understand what you would say, probably better than I could from your putting it into words. And I want to tell you why I understand, Indeed I've wanted to tell you for a long while, hut whenever I've got to the verge of it, I have balked." He paused here to shake the ash from his cigar, reaching across his desk for a receptacle, and somehow the gesture reminded me of that of McNish as ho bad thrown out his arm which held the letter, and so exposed the telltale IrMtooing. "I have u*ver told you. Clyde," he resumed, his f y s imri'-d on the glowing tobacco ember which lie had Just bared, "anything about my birth or my family. But now that you are to become one of us, in a way, it's only fair that you should know; for though Evelyn's mother was but my half-sister, still the girl gets the same blood through her grandslre." "*»- "Yes," i said, "i know that. Evelyn told me that much. I know, too, that 0 you were born in Scotland; and the very name of Cameron is a pretty good guarantee of family worth." "My father belonged to a rather poor branch," he confessed, "and like many poor men he had a large number oft children. There were ten, all told, and when my poor mother died, it became a serious problem how to take gare of us little ones. I was among the youngest, not over seven, and I had a twin brother." As he said this Catneron, who had RaBMBBBBBBjBBBBBB«BBSS*»B«BBBBBsmBSBflBBftB*BBMR| been desultorily drawing figures on his writing pad with the end of a penholder, abruptly shot his gase to mine and caught the quick question of my eyes. "Yes," he said, without change of tone, "yes, you see, now, don't-you?" "McNish!" I murmured. "McNish," he echoed. "Donald Mc- Nish." "But," I began, "I don't quite—" and I thought of the letter from McNish's mother. "Oh, It is clear enough," he went on. "Some of the children were put out to live amongst neighbors, and eventually, my father and the rest of us came to this country. The others he left behind, promising to send each month the money for their keep Donald fie left with a couple named Mc- Nish, who had no bairns of their own, and when the boy grew to be a big lad, and my father, who in the meantime had been successful here and majried'again, sent for him to come to America, word came back that he had been dead a twelvemonth." "And your father believed it?" "Oh, yes, for they returned the back pay he had forwarded, and sent a lock of my brother's hair, I think, and a trinket or twro that had been his as a kiddie." "Afterwards, though, you learned that he was still alive?" "No," was Cameron's answer. "We never heard. Had it not been for that marked resemblance gathering me into the net spread for him, I should probably never have known. And, Clyde," he added, "ever since I learned of his having been there, in town, I have been wondering. Do you think it possible that he ever realized that he was in his brother's house?" "Hardly," I said. "It doesn't seem likely, though; unless the riatne and the—He must—Oh, certainly," I stumbled, "he must have realized that we mistook him for—yes, for some one named Cameron. He answered to It readily enough; he even insisted that he was Cameron. And If his mind was clear enough to put two and two to* gether, why, knowing that he had a twin brother in America, it. would seem—" And there I stopped my floundering, for Cameron had risen to his feet, and smiling, tolerantly, was waving a hushing hand at me. "Yes, yes," he said, "I've argued it all out in just the same way, dear friend. And yet we never can be certain, can we? Only I have thought, if he might have realized it, and have been able to have played the part, and stayed, and taken up my life and lived it for the rest of his, I might have gone on and taken his punishment to some purpose. For 1 have had more than my share of the good things, Clyde, and maybe if poor little Donnie had had even half my "chances, it would all have been so very, very different." He still thought of him as the child brother he had parted from long years ago in Scotland, and as such he would ever remember him. I was glad then that he had stopped me when I had tried to draw for him the difference in their faces. For it was such a difference! Looking at Cameron now with the lamp of true greatness alight behind those plain features, I marveled that I could even have seen a vestige of likeness in the brutal, soulless face of his twin brother. And then, for the first time, too, I really understood. Real Origin of the Pearl -*- Science Has Rudely Shattered Poetic Idea That Has Been Held For Centuries. for many centuries, even until comparatively recent times, it was the common belief that pearls were drops of dew that gained entrance into the shell of an oyster, and were there transpired into lustrous gems. Arab and Indian divers still believe that at certain seasons oysters come to the surface and suck in the rain-drops that later become pearls. Science, however, has rudely shattered this poetic fancy, and discovered the real origin to be a worm. Dr. Hugh M. Smith gives sonfe interesting information on this subject in the National Geographic Magazine. We now know that almost any foreign body—a grain of sand, a bit of mud or shell, a piece of seaweed or a small animal—may by its irritation cause the mollusk to coyer it with nacre and make it the nucleus of a pearl; but the largest part of the annual pearl-crop of the world -4s due to parasites t h a t normally pass a part of tbeir life-cycle within the shell of the pearl-oyster. Minute spherical larvae of marine worms known as Cestodes become embedded in the soft tissues, as mnny as forty having been found in one Ceylon oyster. As the result of irritation, the oyster forms a protecting •ao about the intruder, and then, if the larva dies, its body is gradually converted into carbonate .of lime, and the pearly mass proceeds to grow with the shell. If the larva lives, it may pass into the body of the strong-Jawed triggerfishes which, prey on the pearl-oyaiorB, there undergoing further development Ultimately it reaches the body of the great rays, which in turn eat the trigger- fishes. In the rays the worms attain full development, and produce larvae that are cast into the sea > and find lodgment in pearl-oysters. Thus the cycle is begun once more. We may literally accept the saying of a celebrated French investigator, that "the most beautiful pearl is in reality only the brilliant sarcophagus of "a worm." Callous Indeed. "Well, I must confess I am glad to get back home amongst my old kin and friends, where people ain't too busy or too unfeeling or too stucVup to take some Interest in one another," said Mrs. Polley. "Now, there's them pott office folks down to Chicago. I found 'em actual* ly hard-hearted! Why, would you believe it, t h a t man that brings round the letters to Mabel's, he's t o queer and standoffish that when he handed me husband's postal card, telling how mother had fell and broke her arm, he never-so much a t opened hit lies to give me one word of sympathy!

Find Degree of Comfort in Incarceration in Their Declining Days. PrlBon hotels, where habitual criminals are housed, are being made so comfortable iu England nowadays that offenders who have «pent their lives in criminal pursuits and have reached the retiring age are now adopting the custom of committing serious crimeB when they arrive at the age of sixty or thereabouts in order that they may pass their remaining years in the peaceful precincts of the prison hotel. One of these institutions is now in the course of building at Barkhurst, Isle of Wight, and soon will be occupied by some seventy or eighty aged convicts, who have become privileged prisoners under the scheme originated by Winston Churchill a few years ago, says the New York Tribune's correspondent. The "old brigade" have mostly Very light Indoor or outdoor work in association. They are permitted to talk to each other. They are allowed an'armchair and a bedstead in their cells, as well as religious and other periodicals, and where chewing is difficult, owing to loss of teeth, minced meat and beef tea are included in the dietary. "The conditions of these worn out veterans of crime have been very considerably ameliorated and the vast majority of them are keenly alive to the fact," says the prison chaplain in his last report. "They are grumblers, as a matter of course, but grumbling, after all, hurts no one, and Is, moreover, a safety valve of some value. "So satisfied are the greater number that I am afraid many of them will return to penal servitude "on purpose to end their days in comfort and cleanliness. One man more than eighty, years old told me on his discharge that he could not earn a living, he would not go to the union and he intended to come* back here. He was set at liberty on January 1 and was reconvicted within a few days.

Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell believes in the woman, who can do things, and the other day he hold up Lady Baden-Powell as an exponent of this much-desired art. The chief and founder of the Boy Scout movement was describing a tour that his wife and he recently made in Algeria.' "1 saw Lady Baden-Poweil," he said, "not so long ago in—what is the- feminine for shirt sleeves?—scrubbing out a saucepan. We were living the simple life in the desert. We bad only one pan, and that was a saucepan. It had to do for frying our fish in the morning and also for boiling our coffee in. After the lady had done the fried fish she had to get some grass roots and sand and scrub the pot out so that we could make our coffee in it. The lady was quite able to do it, and she did it well. She alfo did the washing. But," General Baden-Powell added, "I must stand up for the Scouts and the mere man—she had to fall back upon me to do the ironing."

PIMPLES COVERED FACE 1613 Dayton St., Chicago, 111.—"My face was very red and irritated and was covered with pimples. The pimples festered and came to a head. They itched and burned and when I scratched them became sore. I tried soaps and they would not stop the itching and burning of the skin. This lasted for a month or more. At last I tried Ctiticura Ointment and Soap. They took out the burning and itching of the skin, soothing it very much and giving the relief that the others failed to give me. I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment about three weeks and was completely cured." (Signed) Mlaa Clara Mueller, Mar. 16, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Bold throughout tbe world.

CAVKttl.Y, Pub. FINCKNEY, - - - MICHIGAN F A M I L I A R I T Y AND CONTEMPT. Familiarity, of course, ia a term of straight Inheritance from "familia," the Latin name of family, and it is too bad that a word which Btands for the beautiful relationship of intimacy In the household should also have oome to do duty for another meaning, that of disrespect, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Why shouldn't ripening acquaintance mean a continual accession of reverence? Why is it that "no man la a hero to his valet?" Must it be that only the glaring deficiencies and discrepancies progressively appear instead of the graces and the virtues as the points of high relief in the closely scrutinized character? In the Ideal family life there Is generous concession, each to each, in the point of view. There is a real affection 'which creates an atmosphere of tolerance and kindliness. The parents remember that they were not always a» old and as wise as they are now. They realize that a child cannot look through their own bifocal lenses on life's problems at quite the same angle or In exectly the same light. Age with increasing wisdom, the "sour saws" and the "severity," ought to bring an added disposition to give youth and impulse the benefit of the doubt Old age and youth may not always agree;, January and May are* traditionally at odds; but they can afford to let each other live, and neither can afford to be condescending.

The young girl who killed herself through frenzied adoration of a grand opera prima donna was probably mentally deranged and would have killed herself over any other matter which affected her imagination. To draw morals from her fate is superfluous, Bays the Baltimore American. The ueual adoration of the average matinee girl for stage idols is a very harmless thing which arises from the con-* fusion in an immature mind between the stage character and the person representing it and wears itself out In the course of time, leaving no scars behind, being a matter more of amusement for the idols themselves than anything else. Even Its illness is a> passing phase, and beyond care to check its extravagant expression has nothing for alarm. In cases of really unbalanced brains, like the one cited, It Is merely Incidental and by no means a cause in itself. Pupils of the public schools in a Pennsylvania town were taken in divisions to Bee moving pictures of the Panama canal as a way of impressing upon them their geographical studies. There does not seem much doubt that moving pictures will play a large part In the conduct of the schools in the future.

Twenty years ago, a blond-haired young Swede, a boy of about 16 years of age, accompanied a party of his fellow-countrymen on the then long trip to Western Canada as an interpreter. The party he accompanied to-.' cated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one of the most thriving and best settled districts in Western Canada. Far three years be remained in the district. Homesickness took him back to his home at Fitchburg, Mass., and he has remained there for 17 years. He has heard frequently from his friends in the West. He has followed their movements and watched their progress. He has beard how the town he helped to establish has risen from a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk business center, with the surrounding country peopled now by thousands who are occupying the territory in which he was one of the first to help plant the colony of twenty or twentyfive. In his letter to an official of the Department of the Interior, he says: "When I was up in Canada, Calgary was a small town and so was Edmonton, but I understand they have grown wonderfully since." The young man when he went last learned a machine trade, he has patents and inventions but he wants to go to Canada again. And he likely . will, but when he does he will find.a greater change than he may expect Calgary and Edmonton are large cities, showing marvelous and wonderful growth. Where "but one^ line of railway made a somewhat tortuous and indefinite way across the plains to its mountain pass, there are* three Jines of railway dividing the trade of hundreds of thousands of farmers, carrying freight to the hundreds of towns and cities crossing and criss-crossing the prairies in all directions, reaching out into new settlements, and preceding districts to be newly opened for incoming settlers. He will not be able to secure a homestead unless at a considerable distance from the town, the three dollar an acre land Is selling at from $15 to $35 an acre. He will find now what was but a theory then, that this land that was then $9 an acre is worth the $30 or $35 that may he asked for It, and a good deal more. But he will "find that he can secure a homestead just as good as any that were taken in hfs day, and today worth $35 an acre, but at some distance from a line of railway, yet with a certainty of railway in the near future, and he will find too that he can still get land at $15 to $18 an acre that will in a year or two be worth $30 or $35 an acre.

Then the grain goes smutty, the plow hits a hard head, the cattle break lLto the corn—and we wonder why we have such all fired hard luck.

Robert Cameron, capitalist, consults Philip Clyde, newspaper publisher, regarding anonymous threatening1 letters ha has received. The first promises a sample of the writer's power on a certain day. On that day the head Is mysteriously cut from a portrait of Cameron while the latter Is In the room. While visiting Cameron In his dressing- room a Nell Gwynne mirror Is mysteriously shattered. Cameron becomes seriously ill as & result of the shock. The third letter appears mysteriously on Cameron's sick bed. It make* direct threats against the life of Cameron. Clyde tells Cameron the envelope was empty. He tells Evelyn everything and plans to take Cameron on a yacht trip. The yacht picks up a fisherman found drifting helplessly in a boat. He gives the name of Johnson. Cameron disappears from yacht while Clyde's back Is turned. A fruitless search fs made for a motor boat seen by the captain Just before Cameron disappeared. Johnson !•< allowed to go after being closely questioned. Evelyn takes the letters to an expert In Chinese literature, who pronounces them of Chinese origin. Clyde seeks assistance from a Chinese fellow college student who recommends him to Tup Sing, most prominent Chinaman in New York. Clyde froes to meet Yup Sing, sees Johnson, atempts to follow him, falls Into a basement, sprains his ankle and becomes unconscious. Clyde is found by Miss Clement, a missionary among the Chinese. He is sick several days as a result of InhaJ: Ing charcoal fumes. Evelyn tells Clyde of a peculiarly acting anesthetic which renders a person temporarily unconscious. Murphy is discovered to have mysterious relations with the Chinese. Miss Clement promises to get information afeout Cameron. Slump In Crystal Consolidated, of which Cameron Is the head, is caused by a rumor of Cameron's Illness. Clyde finds Cameron on Fifth avenue !n a dased and emaciated condition and takes him home. Cameron awakes from a long sleep-.-and speaks in a strange tongue. Evelyn declares the man Is not her uncle.. dsvelyri and Clyde call on Miss Clement for promised information and find that the Chinaman who was to give it haw Just been murdered. Miss Clement gives Clyde a note, arking him to read it after he leavps the mission and then destroy i t Tt tells of the abduction of a white man by Chinese who shipped him back to China. The man is accused of the crime of "SalHe I«orcha" In which 100 Chinamen were killed. The appearance In New York of the man they supposed tbey had shipped to China throws consternation Into the Chinese. The brougham in which Clyde and Evelyn are riding in held up by an armed man.

They declare that M'Nlsh can be identified by a tattoo mark on his arm. Clyde declares that Cameron has no such mark. The nurse 1« called In and describes a tattoo mark on his patient's arm. Clyde goes to investigate and finds the patient attempting to hide a letter. It is addressed to Donald M'Nlsh. The letter Is from the man's mother In Scotland and Identifies the patient as M'Nlsh. Confronted by the sole survivor of the 'Sable Lorcha"—who. It develops. Is Soy, a half-breed Chinaman, recognised by Clyde as Johnson, the fisherman— M'Nlsh shoots him and kills himself. Miss Clement gets the whole story from Boy before he dies. Murphy, whose right name is Moran. had been a partner of M'Nlsh In the nefarious Chinese trade and later became his most relentless pursuer. He was the author of the threatening letters. 8oy was responsible for the mysterious happenings at Cameron's home by the aid of the ether of Invisibility. Cnm-» eron was drugged and shipped as a member of the crew of a tramp steamer bound for Hongkong. CHAPTER XXVII.—Continued. ,. So far as I could judge, the Glamor* ganshire would call at Algiers In a few days; and for a while I considered the advisability of communicating with the United States Consul at that port, through the State Department at Washington. But a knowledge of tbe tortuous involutions of official red tape deterred me. After all, I believed that if Cameron was to be rescued from the gruelling slavery of servitude on this British freighter, the work must not be intrusted to tbe personally disinterested. Thereupon I consulted calendars, steamer schedules, and Continental time-tables. By tbe fast transatlantic liner sailing on the morrow, I coald make Paris in six days. Forty-eight hours later I could be in Brlndisi. If good fortune followed, less than four days more would land me at Port Said.: It was now Monday, November 28. Twelve days hence would be December Sth, and the Glamorganshire, her agents bad told me, could not possibly reach there before December 6th. Tbe margin waa not wide, but It seemed to me sufficient, and the thought of fur ther inaction, now that tbe trail lay bare, was nothing less than unendurable torment. Wisdom, I suppose, would have dictated the advisability of securing soma badge of authority from my own government before setting forth on a mission involving, so delicate a point of international maritime law at that mbich was here embraced; but the siring of time waa wKh me, just then, tbe paramount c6utideratlotj;'Tbe lota of a day meant the possible missing not only of connections, but of the main objeet of my journey; and so, armed with nothing more potent than good health, strong determination, and a well-filled puree I boarded the Kronprins Wtlheim and started on, my diagonal race to bead off a quarry which already had twenty-five days' start of me. Speed being all-Important, my wish was to travel alone and unencumbered, but at the last moment I was persuaded to consent to the company of both Evelyn Grayson and Dr. Addison. Realising the brave, unfaltering assistance watch the young woman had afforded me from the first, I could hardly refuse to gratify her wish to be preeent at what we both hoped would be tbe victorious end. Moreover, the thought of absence from her for a month at least, and probably much longer, was far from the most pleasant contemplation; my yielding, therefore, waa not altogether unselfish. Dr. Addison's case was different At the last moment he decided to go abroad by the same ship; and, on the way over, touched by his contrition and his almoat pathetic desire to make amends to his quondam friend at the earliest possible minute, I myself invited him to go with us the rest of tbo wsy. Evelyn had proposed that Mrs. Lancaster should also be included in tbe Party, but this I would not hear of. If, for propriety's sake, another presence was necessary, her maid, and. ultimately, Dr. Addison, afforded all the security the conventions could demand. The fever of haste waa upon all of ua from the start Th* time on shipboard, in spite of qur, common subject of converse dragged eternally. Should we reach Cherbourg in time to connect with the P. ft. O. Express at Paris r that was the one constantly recurring question, to be speculated upon with varying degrees of hope and despair. As good fortune would have It, we made the train with fifteen minutes to spare, and the run to Brlndisi was accomplished without accident or unseemly delay. Here, however, we were compelled to wait six hours. The steamer was late, owing to some seismic disturbance off the coast of Malta, and fear of encountering new and necessarily uncharted volcanta islands, bad demanded slow and cautious sailing. However sinister bad been the game Fate played with us in the earlier stages of our quest, the favor of its present mood could not be gainsaid. That we were now reasonably sure of reaching Port Said in advance of the Glamorganshire was in itself a welcome relief from trying anxiety; but that waa only a small part of the banquet of good things provided for us. I was still exercised in a measure over the steps which must be taken to secure Cameron's release. Without proper Introduction to the authorities, it was becoming more and more a question in my mind whether, after all, I should be able to accomplish my end In the brief time to which I was restricted. With this fell possibility of failure dinging In my reflections, I was striding the white deck of the P. and O. steamer, in the early morning followlng tbe night of our departure from Brlndisi, when a hand, dropped heavily on my shoulder, spun me round to face a laughing, sun-browned, young Englishman in white flannels. For just a moment I waa literally, as well as figuratively, taken aback, for the tone of the ringing voice which greeted me carried me five years at least Into the past, when Lionel Hartley and I had ridden to bounds together at Melton Mowbray, while fellow. guests at a house-party in the neighborhood. < "You bally Yankee!" he was shouting. 'Taney running Into you in this fashion! I'm jolly glad to see you, old chap!M Though my delight at seeing him was at that moment tempered by absorbing interest In my mission, ft rose a few minutes later to unadulterated ecstasy, whan I discovered that he was stationed at Port Said, and occupied what seemed to me just then one of the most important posts In the British Foreign Service—secretary to tbe Governor General for tbe Sues Canal. "You're going to Cairo. I suppose f he hisnrded. , ••No/ I replied. Tm. going with you, and I shall not let you out of my sight, lay friend, until you have proved you're something more than a figurebead Stuck up in the Egyptian, sand* " "If there's any little thing I can do —M he began; hut I Interrupted him. "There's a very big thing you ean do." I corrected. And then I toM htm, "What a lark!" be cried, refusing to recognise the serious tide at it. "Fancy one of your American multimillionaires passing coal on a British fMtgfcttfV* . . , ^ W ^Passing coal!** I exetaimed. "What rot! . Surely they wouldn't—" "Oh, wouldn!t tbeyr he) broke in. "That's jus| what they would do. He isn't an ebfebodted twnfcn, ts he? You can safely^ wager he's an expert* •need stoker/or at &m *v trimmer by this time.- :; "Dent, Hartley, don't," I protested. •Wlo*WlBm»^tw«n%o**^. -Never mind, old chap," was his re> I "1 should like to see you in your for sgalnst the sudden stillness there joinder "There's a good time com- cabin. Captain." Hartley proposed, and j now rang out a weird. paluitast cry; ing. We'll have him out and washed when we were closeted there, he eon-1 born of surcharged emotion, *a Cats* and dressed and sitting at table with tinned: "There is a report that you expfc casting whaseif forward into my us an hour after tbe old tub leu her have amosg your ciMa United 8tatee arms, buriedj^sis face in the angle ot anchor drop. And 111 wager you a subject who wM^Mought aboard* tenner that there won't be a miss in drugged* and farced id remain aboard any part of the programme." When, at breakfast, I told Evelyn the good news—omitting, of course, all reference to the coal-handling suggestion— she demanded that I hunt up Hartley, at once, and present him. Discretion, however, seemed to me In this instance, tbe better part of obedience. I did hunt Hartley up and I did present him, but not until I had allowed time for the first flush of Evelyn's fervor to cool. He was a very good-looking young chap; Evelyn was both grateful and impulsive, and I—was in love. Our landing at Port Said was made on the morning of Saturday, the fifth of December, and all that day and tho next, we waited in more or less constant expectancy and a boiling temperature for tidings of tbe tardy Glamorganshire. Hartley, meanwhile, was a model of hospitality, but Port Said is primarily a coaling station on the sea*dge of the desert, and aside from the concrete docks, the ships, the light house/ and tbe nearly naked Nubians that swarmed everywhere, it proved utterly lacking in objects of interest Sunday night brought some small relief from the Intolerable heat, and grateful for the respite, all four of our little party were early to bed. Gradually we had come to believe that our waiting was likely to be prolonged. Tbe earthquake at Malta having delayed one vessel would in all probability delay others as well, including that which we had come so far to intercept. So, utterly worn out by nervous tension and tbe fatigue of tbe tropical climate, we found rest grateful, and slept soundly. Just bow soundly was demonstrated when, at an hour after midnight, three resounding knocks on my hotel chamber door only roused me, dully, and left Evelyn and her maid and Dr. Addison, who occupied adjacent rooms, in deep slumber, totally undisturbed. With what seemed almost superhuman effort, I spurred myself to consciousness and struggled up on elbow. "Who's there?" I called. "Hartley," came the answer. "Open the door. I thought you'd died of Port Said ennui." And when I had sleepily risen and admitted him he went on hurriedly. "Make baste, now, old chap! The bally freighter baa just come in, and I don't propose to lose that tenner through dilatory methods on your part." But I needed no urging. Wide awake at his first sentence, I was already flinging on my clothes. He still chattered on In his chaffing way, but I scarcely heard him. Conscious only of the murmur of his pleasant, cheery English voice/my thoughts were out in the night, across the waters of the harbor, down in the Inferno of a rusty ocean tramp, where a sweating stoker was giving battle to despair—a sweating stoker who, In far-away America, owned a pleasure craft almoat as big as the ship whose fires be had been feeding for forty days across two seas. "How about tbe doctor!" Hartley asked, as I slipped my arms Into my coat sleeves and snatched a cap from a closet peg. "It's too late now," was my answer. "You should have reminded me. I forgot all about him." And It was true. I had forgotten everything, except the imminence of the rescue and the urgency of haste. To one In Cameron's plight every fretting minute must count a drop of torture. Tbe heavens were splendid with tropic stars, and a faint breete from the sea gently ruffled the spangled black harbor waters, aa Hartley's launch, guided by. a pilot of experience, headed for the twinkling lights of tbe recently anchored freighter. Silently I sat, with gate straining, watching tbe indicated sparks grow larger and brighter, moment by moment, until at length their gleams reflected in the waves, and their hackground emerged in a great dark shadow, which silhouetted itself against the less opaque sky. "There she Is!" Hartley cried In enthuslaam, as her funnel and masts somberly defined themselves shove the black of her bull. "We'll be able to hall her in another minute." Then I heard the voice of our helmsman ring Out, and. presently there was an answering shout from above, and an exchange of greetings, succeeded by directions; and the next moment, I was following Hartley up a swaying rope-ladder to where an outheld lantern glowed overhead. "Yes, Secretary to tbe Governor General," I heard my friend saying, as I pat foot op the iron deck. "You're Captain Murchison. I suppose.? . The captain's affirmative was mors than deferential it was obsequious. He waa not a tall man, hut broad, rug* ged and bearded, with long, powerful, gorilla-like amis out of all proportion to his statursv I could readily fancy him an ugly antagonist Unaided by Hartley, I concluded, I should have had •mall chance indeed oT suetoas. But the tow-horn Briton V reepeet for against his will. His government baa interested Itself in his behalf, and unless he is restored at ones to his friends serious complications win undoubtedly ensue." Tbe captain, despite his respect for authority, frowned, "There's nothing to that report, sir." be said, boldly. T m not shanghaiing men in these days, sir. Every mother's son I've got on this boat shipped for Hong Kong, sir, of his own free) will and accord." "I dare say you fully believe that. Captain Murchison," f was Hartley* diplomatic rejoinder, "but this time you happen to be mistaken. 1 dost suppose you have any objection to our Inspecting your crew, have yout Suppose you have both the watches piped forward, and well settle this little business for ourselves. Mr. Clydevhere, knows the man." Captain Murchison** glanos at me waa uudlsgulsedly venomous. Reluctantly he rang for bis steward. "Send tbe bo'suu here," he directed, doggedly, "We'll begin at the bottom, Captain," Hartley suggested, when the boatswain, cap in hand, stood in the doorway. "First, I want to see every man Jack you have working in the stokehold." Although the master gave the necessary directions I mistrusted him. Between the boatswain and himself I felt that there was an understanding which required neither, voicing nor signal. And as, a little later, we stood on tbe forward deck, under the bridge, and by the light of a lantern viewed one after another of those swarthy, grimy laborers who had crowded up from below, I was convinced of the correctness of my intuition. For Cameron was not among them. And then a chill fear gripped me. Could a man of bla habits and train* lng, suddenly called upon to assume) such labor, survive Its rigors? He was naturally robust but he bad been weakened by an Illness. Might he not therefore have succumbed to the strain, died, and been burled at sea? But one consideration sustained me. In their cunning cruelty, the Chinese who had arranged for bis traneposta-' tlon must have stipulated that he be delivered In China alive* Otherwise their vengeance wosjld not he complete. It was not likely that anything bad been left to mere chance. The probabilities ware &at Murchison knew definitely what was required of him and waa to be well paid for his servjoes. . ': '' ..::^ Upon his seamed face, how; there' was something of a sneer a* our ex amination concluded, he said: "What next1 Mr. ^aVtteyt' But for a moment Hartley, who was standing thoughtfully with brow contracted, hia lower Up gripped between finger and thumb, made no response. Before-he spoke hli attitude changed. Quickly ho had assumed a pose of listening tntentness. Behind us, somewhere, -a clamor had arisen. Voices, excited, hoarse, fremescent, yet muffled by distance, echoed dully. "That man, next Captain," he said, coolly.. "The man they're try lag to keep below." It may have been that hit hearing was more acute than mine, or It may only have been a guess. I don't know. But, whichever It was. It hit tha mark. It scored s bull's ey* at long range. Captain Murchleon's Indifference gave way instantly to palpable uneasiness. His hands, which had been deep in his coat pockets, came out as though jerked by springs. One of them canted hia cap from his brow to his crown and the other clutched agitatedly at his heard. And in that moment the riot advanced, the voices waxed louder and more distinct; scurrying feet resounded oh the metal deck, I saw the captain start hurriedly toward the starboard rail, Intent evidently on meeting the rabble which was approaching on that side, and I saw Hartley boldly block bis way. And then, almost at the same instant I saw a tall figure with naked torso as black and shining as polished ebony —black with grime and shining with sweat—come , running backward around the corner of the deck house. Saw it with an iron bar held menacingly aloft again** its pressing pursuers; and eve* W tho uncertain light of the deck toaterne^raeothlnsd It at once, by tts«uUtne and tho characteristic set of its head upon its shoulders, nude to the waist and. collied as it was, as tho ftgwro of the man 1 sought "Cameron!"

A Final Problem. It is doubtful whether in all Egypt, there was ever such another period of joyous thanksgiving aa that wBTch fol» J lowed tbe bringing of Cameron to tfcd little hotel in Port Said. I am In- . dined to question, too, whether in tbe# space of a single waking day four persons ever talked more, or with mom mutual interest, than did the four of us there gathered. The heat, the dies, the poor food, and the miserable accomodations, generally, were not merely gladly tolerated, but absolutely disregarded. In the exuberance of our rejoicing, annoyances which badloomed large on the preceding day dwindled to the lmperoeivable; and from early morning until lata night experiences were exchanged, adventures told and speculations Indulged in. Washed, scrubbed, shaved, shot* and clad in raiment put ct hia disposal by the Indefatigable Hartley, Caateros>< appeared, wonderfully well-looking. Indeed I was amazed by bis appearance and by his condition. I bad feared td find him a mental and physical ruin. I had feared even for his life. And he had come to us, if we might judge by outward seeming, stronger, mons robust, less nervously relaxed than when he disappeared. "At first," he told us, as we sat at breakfast In a little upper room of tbe hotel, Evelyn close on his right. Dr. Addison at his left, and I opposite him, "I suppose I did suffer, whenever I was conscious, which, fortunately*, I think, was comparatively seldom. They dosed me almost continuously with what I believe to have been some attribute of opium, so that even in my waking moments I was not wholly normal. In this way, of course, I lost all count of time. And so, too, I am unable to give events in sequence. My first conscious moment after being on the deck of the Sibylla found mo strapped In a narrow berth on a rapid, but rather rough-riding craft of apparently much smaller dimension^Jhaa tbe yacht, and with a Chinese boy sitting beside me. You can fancy my startled amazement at the sudden transition. In vain I asked questions. In vam I struggled to rise. Then I shouted, and the Chinese boy lighted what appeared to be an ordinary jossstick on a stand at the head of my berth, and withdrew from the tiny cabin. Insensibility followed quickly After that I have a vague, dreamy recollection of eating something with a strange, spicy flavor, which seemed only to add to my stupor. Once I ^ dreamed—at least I think It must bava been a dream—that I was In a dark box, so cramped that my bones ached, , and that far away above me were little holes through which the light came In luminous fan-like rays that glowed against the black." "I'm inclined to think It Was no dream," I put In, recalling the newspaper story I had read in my broker's offlos, in Wall street. "The probabilities are that you were shipped in that box from Fall River to New York, and a certain Influential Chinaman, called Yup Sing, knew all about it" "It's quite possible." Cameron went on. "I know that it was very difficult to distinguish/In those days, between dreams and realities. Eventually, however, I awoke to find myself on the Glamorganshire, quartered with the men in tbe forecastle, a beard well grown and my clothes the coarsest sort of mariner's outfit For a while I was far too ill for labor. Tbe reaction from the drugs which had been . administered caused me the keenest suffering. But, gradually, I cpme about, and was set to work with paint pot and brush. The humanity shown me at this time was surprising. I couldn't comprehend it. But I realized eventually that my strength was being fostered for future tortnent." (TO BB CONTINXraD.)

H. L. Barnes, superintendent Of the Rhode Island state aanltarinm. haa recently demonstrated by acme interesting studio* of patients discharged aa "apparently cured" from that institution, that a sanatorium is a sound investment for any state or city. The gross earnings of 170 axpatients obtained in 1911 amounted to 9102,752, and those of 211 cases in 1812, to 9113,021. By applying the same average earning* to all ex-patients of the sanltortum living in 1911 and 1912. Dr. Barnes conclude* that their income In those two years was 9551,000. This sum to more than throe time* the cost of maintenance of tho sanatorium, including interest at four per cent on the original Investment and depreciation charges. Dr. Barnes concludes, however, "While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that Institutions for the isolation of far advanced cases would be still better Investments." ! BREAKING OUT ON LEO Hilltop, Kan.—"About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon it began to spread until it formed large blotches.

After scratching it to relieve the Itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand i t For nearly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief. Some salvo* seemed to make it worse until there were ugly sores, which would break open and run. "One day I saw an adverttoement of Cutlcura Remedies.

DOWN LOW 'i THE LITCHFIELD DOWN-LOW Spreader gives a Low Top R a i l - about waist high, which makes it extremely easy to load. A man iu handling the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load ou the fork waist high in order that he may throw it from him. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rail than what we build, as there would be no advantage in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat turns over out ot the way in front and its just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to throw it in another pile on the ground. DON'T FORGET. The Self-Cleaning aprou, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield Features You wiFl look for them in vain on any other spreader. High Under Clearance A PECULAR FACT. The Litchfield Down-Low has substantially the same Under Clearance that our High Standard machines have. We use the same size wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives us from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and same clearance under the front axle that we have always had in the high machines. Just compare this with the eight or ten inches clearance found under other low down spreaders. W*i*m S^r DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if it'does not have sufficient under clearance. Like everything else, the tendency toward low down manure spreaders bus gone in raoet cases a little to far and this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Ground. Short Wheel Base * WE MOUNT OUR SPREADERS on the rear wheels so that these traction wheels take a sufficient proportion of the load and have sufficient traction to properly operate the unloading machinery. We get away fiom the heavy draft that is a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders. We turn in a shorter circle and in a smaller place and our machine hag much more activity and is much stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between the front and the rear wheels instead of being mounted on the rear axle. This means light draft, strength, durability arid convenience, We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea Manure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleasure in showing and will make better terms than you can get elsewhere.

CANADA WINS AGAIN THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY FOR OAT8 WON A SECOND TIME BY CANADA. The most recent achievement of Canada's West Is winning for the second time the magnificent $1,500 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colorado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, In 1911, J. C. Hill 4k Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan* placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges had no difficulty in deciding, and the Award was given to the Saskatchewan frown oats. In 1912, the Corn Exposition had no exhibition, and our Canadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1918, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, 8. C. and it is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At tikis exhibition, which comprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster had on exhibition for the contest another peck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, In 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sons won, and for the second time their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs. During the past few years Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and la every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but It Is in wheat, in barley and in flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from other parts. Mixed farming Is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been devoted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large in profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the Bteer class, at Chicago last December. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain It had was barley; not an ounce of corn. Western Canada presents innumerable opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a few hundred acres, the man who Is content to farm his free homestead of one hundred and sixty acres; it has opportunities for the investor, the capitalist, the business man, the manufacturer and the laborer. Agents of the Canadian Government located at different points in the United States will be pleased on application, to give any desired information, free of cost.—Advertisement PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND PRESIDENT AGREES TO SMALL DUTY ON SUGAR EVENTUALLY TO BE FREE TARIFF TO BE REMOVED FROM WOOL AND 8TEEL RAILS The Estimated Loss of Eighty Millions In Revenue is to be Made Up by Graduated Tax on Incomes With President Wilson and congressional leaders practically agreed upon free wool and a low duty on sugar, eventually to become free, the ways and means committee began drawing its report on the new tariff bill, estmating the loss of revenue from the new rates at $80,000,000 a year. The revenue from the income tax will be estimated at a like amount, to be derived in this way: Incomes of $4,000 up to but not in* eluding $20,000, to be taxed at 1 per cent; $20,000 up to $50,000 2 per cent; $50,000 to $100,000, 3 per cent; all over $100,000, 4 per cent Flat tax on corporations, 2 per cent. The exemption will be on all incomes under $4,000. The income tax provision now stands this way and is not expected to be changed. Among the numerous additions to the free list will be steel rails. Cuts will be made all along the line on the metal schedule. Two Men Swept Over Dam. Two men were drowned at Chesaning when the boat from which th.y were fishing was swept over the dam here.

Well-Furnished Expedition Returns Without the Riches tt Had Been In 8sarch Of. The treasure-hunting party from Plymouth, England, which has been searching Cocos island in the Pacific for treasure supposed to have been buried there by pirates many years ago, has arrived at Panama on board the steamer Melmore without the hoped for pirate spoils. The Melmore sailed from Barry in September last, carrying in addition to the officers and crew, two London ladies and three gentlemen financially Interested in a venture which was fondly hoped to return 100 per cent profit Two other unsuccessful attempts to locate the burled gold and jewels of the buccaneers made by Earl Fits* William and Mr. Harold Gray did not diminish the faith of the members of the Melmore expedition, who declared they had specific Information of the exact position of the accumulated hoard. One treasure was actually brought from Lima in 1820, consisting of gold bullion and articles teethe value of about $25,000,000, and the other treasure, which is placed at an even higher figure, was taken to Cocos Island by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite the care with which the Melmore was fitted out—the expedition waa estimated to cost $500,000—the search appears to have been fruitless. Bear's Grease and Baldness.

Mrs. Emmellne Pankhurst, the leader of the English militant auifragfcUes, waa found guilty and sentenced to three years' penal servitude at the Old bailey sessions in Lonuon on the charge of inciting persons to commit ds-ma^e. The trial had lasted two days. The jury added to its verdict of guilty a strong recommendation for mercy, and when the judge pronounced the heavy ientence of three years the crowd of women In the court room rose In angry protest As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the prisoner's inclosure her sympathizers cheered wildly, and then filed out of court singing "March On, March On" to the tune of the "Marseillaise." Mrs. Pankhiirst's closing address to the jury lasted 60 minutes. She Informed the court that she did not wish to call any witnesses. In her address she frequently wandered so far from the matter before the court that the judge censured her. In impassioned tones she declared: "Whatever may be my sentence, I will not submit. From the very moment I leave the court I will refuse to eat I will come out of prison dead or alive at the earliest possible moment." Justice Lush, in summing up ,told the jury that Mrs. Pankburst's speeches were an admission that she had Incited to the perpetration of Illegal acts.

Adolph Bchoen, 742 Shepherd Ave., Brooklyn, writes: »or. 1, 194«.—"At first little red spots were seen on my arms and body, which I noticed were getting larger every day. They itched me so much that I scratched myself until I bled. There were times when I stood up all night and scratched. I was troubled about three weeks, during which time I ased — , which seemed to do me no good whatever. Then, finally, I thought of trying Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment.

It was surprising' ly short, being in full as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have called the congress together In extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections whkh it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business Interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense aswto what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be re* quired to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical altera, tlon in the conditions of our ecnomic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have re* mained what they were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) Instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrangement. Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation wander very far afield in our day— very far indeed from the field in whicn our prosperity might have had a nor* mal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We. long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the Industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time— a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it-rrwet have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or pro* ducers what they themselves thought 1 that they needed in order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the World. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothing 1B normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted arrangement. Only new principles of action will save us frcm a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep independent energy alive. It is > plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters of competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Development, Not Revolution. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change It destroys K. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object Is development, a more free and wholesome development, net revolution or upset or contusion. We must build up trade, especially for eign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by item. To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may In some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object Is clear. If our motive Is above just challenge and only an occasional error of Judgment la chargeable against us, we shall be fortunate. We are called upon to render the country a great service In more matters than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as If we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it is necessary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can ob scure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to re forms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chlet is the reform of our banking and currency laws; but Just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. The White House, April 8, 1913. FAMILY NAMES OF ROYALTY Royal Personages Descended Mostly From Counts, Existing Long Before Surnames Came Into Use. The royal families of Europe have not generally a surname because mostly (unlike the English houses of Stuart and Tudor, which were the respective surnames of the first king of each house before he ascended the throne) they are descended in the male line from some territorial counts existing long previous to the period in which4 the somewhat modern custom of surnames prevailed- King Georoge V derives In the male line from the ancients counts of Wettin (flourishing in the tenth century), afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes of Saxe Coburg, Ootha, etc. His an* cestors in the male line were of the house of Este, one of whom, Axo of Este, married early In the tenth century the daughter and heiress of Ouelph, duke of Bavaria, from which match sprang in the male line the dukes of Brunswick-Lunenburg, afterwards electors of Hanover, and kings of Great Britain. The members of the royal family are described by their princely titles in proceedings in the house of lords, and no allusion is made to any surname—-for instance, they sign the test roll merely by their personal or Christian name. and we know nothing of any surname which appertained by right or by usage, to her late majesty, Queen Victoria, or to his majesty King George V. Bermuda Pish. At the market during a recent week many handsome fish were to be .teen, several of them taken by American tourists, and afterward presented to the fisherman who "took them out" Large amber-jacks and bonitoes, splendid game fish and chubs, as plucky and "flghty" a fish as ever took bait, were well represented. Among the others seen on the market hooks and elsewhere were binefish, yellowtails, red snappers; gray snappers, butterflsh, gags, hamlets, "nines," salmon and black rockfsh, porgies and red rockflsh. "Nigger fish," the long ago despised finny midget, has been metamorphosed to the now much sought after "choicest of the choice" of sea delicacies, the "butter fish."—Bermuda Colonists.

For this season the Euclid Male Quartet has been engaged. These four young men are college-bred, were known as the Antioch Glee club when they first began to sing together six years ago, and are graduates of Antioch college, founded and made famous by Horace Mann. They are good singers and their ensemble numbers are very well done, for they have sung together for six years. One rjember is a good reader, presenting some of Riley's best known poems. A feature is the playing by the quartet on the largest set of aluminum organ-chimes that is nsed in Lyceum work. They produce tones like a fine pipe organ, and with four good musicians playing, the most beautiful tones and effects are secured. The program of this company Is varied and satisfying.

HE FERRIED MANY TO SAFETY Thrown Into Water Several Times by Despairing and Frenzied Passenger*— Paddled Three Mllei Through the Tree Topa. Plymouth, Ind.—Graphic description of the horrors of the flood at Peru, Ind., waB given by Qilbert Kessler, one of the heroes of the calamity. Weary, tired eyed and almost unnerved from the loss of sleep and the sights he had witnessed, young Kessler, a muscular product of a northern Indiana farm, staggered from a relief train from the stricken city at Plymouth. Here he recounted the terrors of the inky nights when the Wabash river drowned the piercing cries of the frantic and the groans of the perishing. To board the relief train Kessler had paddled three miles in a boat through the protruding treetops and debris that momentarily threatened to wreck him. Crazed Woman Leaps to Death. Kesbler's most vivid picture was the suicide of several fear crazed women, who leaped from the rescue boats. The roaring current and the terrible sights, he declared, had maddened them. "It was too awful ever to forget," said Kessler with a shudder. "It was cold and damp and misty, and the sight of that black water rushing on pitilessly Just seemed to take the heart out of most of us, especially the women. "Night and day you could hear the shrieks of the women. And the conduct of some of them! I was piloting one of the rescue boats to our landing, the court house, and the boat was pretty well filled. One of our passengers was a woman. "We were moving rather shakily through one1 of the main streets when all of a sudden I saw this woman rise from her seat and begin to wail: "Oh, what is the use! We'll all be drowned anyway,' and she plunged from her seat Into the torrent. Tossed Overboard; Regains Boat "The next moment I found myself in the water. I saw a little arm stick up for a moment. I made a grab for it, but it went down. There was no chance to swim in that Niagara. I struck the stern of our rowboat and Beized it with one hand. Then I gradually drew myself aboard. "I picked up one of our oarsmen a little later. He was still alive. "But the circumstances considered, you could scarcely blame the woman. A great many of them, though, suffered with a stoicism that had to be admired. "Then again, I had a similar occurrence. We were bringing another •boatload to the coi«*t house when a woman ltfo&dd out despairingly and all of us went over. Again it was a fight and I managed to save myself. Four times, altogether, I was thrown out into that muddy stream and I am still wondering how I managed to escape. "The current swept around street corners with tremendous force and only the most experienced oarsmen could propel those craft with any degree of safety. One of the life savers from Michigan City took too wide a turn and they all landed in the treetops." "Were as many lives lost in the capsizing of boats as in the flood itself?" he was asked. "Yes. but the boats were not to blame,' because it required great experience to handle a boat in that current," he answered. "We had 200 boats, but there was BO much loss of life that finally the women refused absolutely to enter the boats. They preferred to stick to roofs and second floors." Bursting of Dam Described. Kessler then gave a description of the flood on the first night. "It was 7:30 p. m. when the water burst upon the city," he said. "A temporary dam had been constructed by the lighting company and because of the threatened condition of the Wabash planr were made to break a hole in the dam and let the water out gradually. Instead the dam gave out and the water came with a roar. "Families had just finished supper when the fire whistle sounded. Simultaneously all lights went out. People ran out to see what had happened and soon cries of anguish were heard. In the rain and darkness you could not see the water until it was almost upon you. I felt It swishing about my ankles and ran for my girl cousin. When I 'got to her house I was waist deep in water. Cries, shrieks and the reports of revolvers rent the air. Swifter, swifter ran the water. My cousin and I were almost swept off our feet. A bore the din I could hear: To the courthouse! To the courthouse !* Half swimming, halt floundering, we reached there. "We found thousand* of men, women and children. Families were separated. Women were crying for their children, men for their wives and wives for their husbands. Roar o f Circus Beasts Terrible. "Then came the roaring of lions and the neighing of horses. We realized in a moment that the Wallace circus, which has winter quarters at Peru, had been engulfed. "The lions and other animals were In cages and died In the trap, roaring until the water swallowed them. "But not so the elephants. These huge beasts tore and lashed their stakes until some of them got away. Several boats saw them trudging and swimming, roaring and lashing their trumpets in the stream. That was the last we saw of them. "While the work of rescue was going on a great glare lit the sky. We saw that the Miami County Lumber company was ablaze. The reflection In the sky and on the water gave new terror to the refugees in the courthouse, but it aided the relief parties in their work. "The next day I saw bodies in the water. One sight wrung my heart. I saw a couple go floating by—a husband and his wife—locked in each other's arms. For fear they might be separated they had bound themselves together with cord. Babe Torn From Mother. "Another time a woman in our boat was carrying her baby when the boat was brushed through the tree tops and. the branches tore the baby from her arms. It disappeared in the water. "A towerman on one of the railroads that overlooked the Wabash" river said he had counted more than 200 bodies as they were swept into the river and toward the- south. If that Is true, the death list will be larger because nobody has heard from the lowest or south side of the city, where 1,000 people lived." Plight of Youngstown. Chicago.—J. M. Goodnight, a resident of Youngstown, 0., arrived in Chicago over the Lake Shore. "Youngstown is under eight feet of water," he declared. "The Mahoning river has risen ten feet higher than it ever attained. Its two wagon bridges have been washed away and the railroad bridges are abandoned. The last train over them threatened to collapse the structure. The waterworks and electric lighting plants have given out. Youngstown supplies natural gas to the surrounding territory. This plant was feeble when I left and probably has cut off light from the territory by this time. "Most of the inhabitants succeeded in reaching high ground out of the reach of the water. Youngstown is built on a scries of ridges. Between these dozens of people swam to safety. Others were lost In the swift current. Near Ashtabula, looking out of the car window, I saw a family attempting to get into a boat from the attic window of their home. The boat overturned as the train rolled away." Die In Last Embrace. Wrhen the residence of W. D. Axline at Tiffin, 0., was picked up by the flood and started careening down the river, watchers saw Axline and his wife standing in the window of the second story. Her head was pillowed on his shoulder. The cries of the wife could be heard above the rushing water. Axline patted his wife on the back and kissed her. A moment later the house crashed into the Baltimore & Ohio bridge. It was splintered like a bundle of sticks. With their arms about each other, husband and wife disappeared beneath the raging waters. When the home of Jacob Kenecht was swept away Mrs. Kenecht and her five children were in the dwelling. Kenecht was outside. When he was picked up by the current he grabbed the limb of a tree. He held on for fifteen minutes. Rescuers attempted to throw him a line. Each time the wildly running <water held the rope within a few inches of his outstretched arms. Finally, exhausted and numbed by the cold, Kenecht gave up the fight against death. "Thanks, good-by, boys, I'm—" his last words were swallowed by the water that engulfed him. "Bailor Jack'1 Is a Hero. Until Monday morning, "Sailor Jack" Willis was an Inconspicuous character in Columbus. Today he is the city's hero. He took charge of the rescue work. The life-Raving baskets and cables were made and operated under his orders. By stretching cables to a water-surrounded house, the occupants, one by one, were brought to places of safety. "Sailor Jack" personally saved ten people. And after sixty hours of work, with no rest, he dropped exhausted. A movement has already been started to < obtain for him a Carnegie medal. Four women, two of whom were Mrs. A. W. Knott and daughter, were rescued from the roof of A barm on Water street by telephone linemen, who clung to the topi of the poles and swung Uses to the women. The four were hauled to safety, hand over hand.

"The frenzy to get higher, higher, higher," she said, "1B quite incredible to those who have done no mountaineering. "There's a story, doubtless true, about a girl who climbed the Schreck horn, a difficult rock-scramble.

ALL SAVE LABOR JN KITCHEN t i t t l e Helps That W i l l Leave the Housewife Less Tired When Day's Work Is Ended. A shelf back of the kitchen table on which to place cupB, spoons and small vessels that are used frequently, the wash basin, within reach of the roller towel, a drinking cup near the water pall, all Bave needless exertion and time that may be utilized for something else or rest. The very best stove holder can be made of an old, stocking by cutting off the foot at the ankle and folding it Into the leg, fastening it well as it is folded over and over until it is the square shape of the common ironing holder. A brass ring in one corner is a great convenience for hanging and such a holder can be laundered. In the sewing room, patterns should have their place of quick and easy access and if each one is marked it will often prove a blessing. A bag fastened on the lower part of the sewing machine for scraps will likewise be a comfort, and sharp scissors and a work table are absolute necessities. OLD BREAKFAST TABLE DISH Spanish Omelet, When Properly Made, Deserves All the Popularity I t Has Attained, Cut foui ounces of bacon in very thin slices and then into one-half inch squares. Fry gently until crisp, then add one small onion, a medium sized tomato and five mushrooms, all chopped rather fine. Rub a freshly cut clove of garlic upon the spoon for stirring while cooking 15 minutes. Meanwhile break six eggs fhto a bowl, season with a saltspoonful of salt, onefourth saltspoonful of white pepper. Give them a dozen good strokes and turn into a perfectly smooth frying pan, in which a teaspoonful of butter has been melted, and well spread. Do not stir, but shake constantly until the omelet is nearly set. Spread the bacon and vegetables quickly over the omelet, fold over and set it in the oven for about one minute. Then slip It upon a hot platter and serve at once. Our Cook Says That in filling a cake pan It is well to remember that the center of the cake is the part which will be the highest. If the batter is spread as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in the center, then the cake when baked will be level. That a cheap and durable toaster for a gas stove is a piece of sheet iron. Over this is a five-cent fire toaster can be used without danger of burning or blackening the bread. That when baking or scalloping potatoes, chops can be baked in a pan In the oven, steak broiled underneath or pudding or pie cooked at the same time. It saves gas. Warm Slaw. Select a nice solid head of winter cabbage and cut it up very fine. Put into a hot frying pan a piece of butter, the size of a walnut, and when melted put in the cabbage with a very little water; let it simmer till well done. Then beat up one egg very light and stlr_Jn slowly; lastly, add one-half cup of sour cream; salt and pepper to suit the taste. Another method for "hot slaw" is to simply make a boiled dressing of two egg yolks, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of sour cream, one cup of vinegar, and a rounded teaspoonful of butter, and pour this over the finely- cut cabbage Rice Pudding With Fig Sauce. Press hot boiled rice into buttered cups; then slip out on a hot dish and pour the sauce over. Look carefully over the flgB to be used; place them in a pan and cover with cold water; cook until tender; chop very fine and press through a coarse sieve. To this pulp add the juice of one-half lemon and sugar if not sufficiently sweet To Restore a Faded Carpet. To revive the colors in faded carpet which is still good for further wear. Take half a pail of warm water and add to it either a handful of salt or a half cup of turpentine, or half a cup of vinegar, or a good-sized lump of alum, or on dark colors, four tablespoonfuls of ammonia, any of which helps to brighted the colors. Wring out a flannel cloth and wipe off the whole surface of the carpet without really wetting it through, and let it dry thoroughly before using. To Clean Satin Shoe. Take a piece of flannel and dip it into spirits of wine, rub the satin the way of the nap; turn the flannel as it gets soiled. Any light color may be cleaned this way. White satin shoes should always be kept In blue paper, or the satin gets discolored. When to Buy Shoes.

F A HIGHER STAGE OF W A T E R T H A N LAST SPRING IS PREDICTED. GOV. DUNNE RUSHES M E N AND SUPPLIES TO SCENE. All Along the Mississippi Watero Are High and People Are Fleeing From Their Homes In Terror. Tralnloads of persons left Cairo following %receipt of news that the Ohio river was expected to reach a higher stage than during the disastrous flood of last spring. R. T. Lfodley, the local weather forecaster, issued a statement, saying: "With weather conditions becoming somewhat unsettled in this river district and rapid rises continuing in the Ohio and Wabash rivers, a 54-foot stage is regarded as certain at Cairo if the levees below hold. Fifty-six feet is regarded as a strong possibility here. As a prudential (measure it is advisable that women, children and the infirm seek more secure refuge." The Ohio has reached 51.3 feet. Every attention is being given the levees .here. Labor is scarce and an appeal was sent to Governor Dunna for help and he responded that he would send 1,000 men, 200 national guardsmen, 10,000 rounds of rations and 200,000 sacks. On the Missouri side of the Mississippi river water is reported everywhere. Hundreds of refugees have come into Cairo. Conditions in this entire district and are very serious.

A writer in the Wide World magazine eays that the most curious sight he say at Cairo was men ironing clothes with their feet! The men were employed in the native tailoring establishments. Except for the long handle, the Iron were shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only larger. A solid block of wood rested on the top of the iron, and on this the men placed one foot, guiding the iron in the desired direction by means of the handle. For the sake of convenience, Ironing boards were raised only a few Inches from the ground, and, however strange the method may seem to us, the work waa done very well and very expeditiously. BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH Monroe, Wis.—"When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until it got nearly all over his body. It formed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was In a dry form and would scale otT. He was in great misery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. "Finally a friend suggested Gutlcura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a few applications I could Bee an improvement, and he would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cutlcura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. His head Is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion is admired by everybody and has no disfigurements." (Signed) Mrs. Annie Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911.

DOWN LOW THE LITCHFIELD DOWN-LOW Spreader gives a Low Top Rail— about waist high, which makes it extremely easy to load. A man in handling the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may- throw it from hna. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rajlthan what we build, as there would be no advantage in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat tumB over out bt the way iirfront and its just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to throwi^ in another pile on the ground, DON'T FORGET. The 8*1 f-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield Features You will look for them in vain on any other spreader3. High Under Clearance A PECULAR FACT. The Litchfield Down-Low has substantially the same Under Clearance that our High Standard . machines have. We use the same size wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives us from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and same clearance under tbe front axle that we have always had in the high machines* Just compare this with the eight or ten inches clearance found under other low down spreaders. * • \ The Pinckney Exchange Bank Does a Conservative Bank- j ing Business. t • 3 per cent paid on all Time Deposits <. i ' DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if it does not have sufficient uuder clearance. Like everything else^ the tendency toward low down manure sqreaders has gone in most cases a fittle to far and this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Ground. ' * * S h o r t W h e e l Base WE MOUNT OUR SPREADERS on the rear wheels so that these traction wheels take a sufficient proportion of the load and have sufficient traction to properly operate the unloading machinery. We get away fiom the heavy draft that is a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders. We turn in a shorter circle and in a smaller place and our machine has much mote activity and is much stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between the front and the rsar wheels instead of being mounted on the rear axle. This means light draft, strength, durability and convenience. We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea Manure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleasure in showing and will make better terms than you can get elsewhere.

If you are not doing something to rid your farm animals of t h e deadly stomach and intestinal worms you are simply Letting Down the Bars to h o g cholera and all the other fatal diseases which have cost the farmers of this country over fifty millions of dollars the past year. YQU can't afford to run this risk. YOU can't afford not to take preventive measures. The best way of preventing these deadly plagues from getting a foothold among your stock is to keep every animal worm free and in the best possible condition. Worms are the cause of 90 per cent of live stock losses. Thousands of Michigan --rmers have learned this fact and by effectually striking at the cause have successfully won their fight. They have found "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." Read how they have stopped the loss and improved the value of tfceir live stock.

Latest investigations tend to confirm the estimates of fewer than BOO .deaths in the floods that swept over i score of cities in Ohio and Indiana last week. As the waters receded from Dayton, •Columbus and other places, leaving a thick coating of mud, alarm was caused by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks. There is not much danger of loss Of life in these places, however, as the Inhabitants have hills to flee to and are used to floods. Revised reports Indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. The death list at Piqua, Ohio, fell from the estimate ot 50 to 13 known dead. Sanitary experts from the United States public health service are ordered to Dayton by Secretary of War Garrison to protect city from pestilence. The Water has receded in Dayton and rescuers in some sections use canoes and flat bottomed boats, while in other sections relief squads wade. People throughout country are urged by Dayton relief committee not to send messages of inquiry, as they cannot be delivered because the wire capacity is taxed to the utmost by official and public business. Brookville, Indiana, Is practically under martial law and 20 men have been driven out of the city after loot ing damaged homes and buildings. T c hundred and fifty children rescued from the flood have only night clothes •and wagon trains carried food and clothing from Connersville to the 3tricken people. The work of rehabitation began at Day Ion and other flooded oitles as the work of rescue approached Its end. The all important weather showed improvement as viewed by refugees, for it was warmer and pleasant to frost and water-chimed bones. Sanitary experts accepted the rise in temperature with mixed feelings, for the cold had retarded decomposition of animal matter and refuse. Members of the citizens' relief com* mittee at Dayton, are apprehensive af a water famine. , It Is believed there boil the water for drinking pur poses. Medical supplies were reported woefully short. Drug stocks were largely destroyed, and the chests of the militia, as well as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by washouts and other mishaps of the flood. Access to Dayton is now comparatively easy and relief trains are arriving nearly every hour with food, clothing, medical supplies, physicians, and Red Cross nurses. No city even in war times was ever under stricter martial law. The provost guard sounds the curfew at 8 o'clock. With it all passes are revoked automatically and none permitted on the street. The sleep of the exhausted stricken was interrupted continually by the boom of guns. Despite the drastic military measures many attempted to pass the lines and looters were busy. The militia had orders to shoot to 'kill after one warning and the continual crash of the muskets was evidence that the warnings would not stop the marauders. With nearly 15,000 persons in the towns along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley, and with more than 3,500 homes altogether or partly submerged, the .flood situation in that icinity is assuming graver proporions at Cincinnati, the water front buildings are all partly under water .nd much damage has been done. One life has been lost as a direct result of the high water here. Miss \nna Smith, the first victim drowned, lost her life in an attempt to reach Newport in a skiff that capsied in mid* stream. Her three men companions were rescued. Newport and Coving*on, virtu-lly are suddounded by water. Condition! there are worse than elsewhere and nearly 10,000 persons have been driven from their homes.

The pieces C are 2 by 6's bolted to the lifting braces. At their forward ends two short pieces of 2 by 4's (E) are bolted that strike against the rack as it Is being driven between the frames, thus bringing up the lifting frames and raising the rack off the wagon. Two crosspieces of 2 by 4s (D) are bolted lengthwise to the posts to give the frames rigidity. Two blocks (F) are bolted at the forward ends of D to stop the forward movement of the lifting frame. These are placed a little past the center so as to lock the frame while up. Two pawls notched at one end are bolted underneath the rack frame with the notched ends against the rear bolster of the wagon This prevents the rack slipping back as It rises from the wagon.

In the shells of eggs as well as their composition are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain. Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time they will begin to refuse It, as they may be oversupplied with the elements of the food partaken and lack the elements that are best supplied from some other source. For this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens can only be obtained by a variety of food Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given 'as a portion of the ration and not made exclusive articles of diet. Fighting Ringworm. Ringworm is A contagious disease due to a fungas. Man, horses and cattle are commonly affected, and It is easily transmitted from one animal to another. The affection first asserts itself as a ringlike patch, with the hair broken off. The usual location is on the skin around the eyebrows, or muzzle, scattering from there over different parts of the body. Treatment is sometimes easy, more often difficult to completely eradicate. All brashes and utensils in contact with infected animals should be sterilised. Wash the patch with soap and water, and apply tincture of Iodine or lard and salicylic acid* six part to one of salicylic acid. — ^ ^ — — — — Good Combs and Brushes.

Whan the pure-bred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be given every opportunity for bono and muscle development rather than production of fat HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT Grain Should Be Treated With Formalln 8olutlon In Morning and Drilled In Same Day. To prevent oat smut, the grain should be treated with formalin It takes about one ounce of formalin for every five bushels of grain to be treated. Clean a space on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with the formalin solution before spreading the seed grain. The oats should be run through the fanning mill twice to remove all light grain, as only heavy clean seed should be sown. Spread down the seed grain, then sprinkle the grain with the formalin solution made as follows: Formalin, one ounce; water, two and one-half gallons; mix thoroughly. The solution can be applied with a fine rose watering pot; shovel the grain over so that every seed is coated with the solution. When all the grain is coataed, shovel the grain into a round pile and cover with sacks for not more than two or three hours, then spread out, and as soon as the oats will not stick together it Is fit to sow or drill. The gTain should be treated In the morning and drilled in the same day. The drill should be set to drill two and one-fourth to two and one-half bushels to the acre, as the oats, having absorbed considerable water are larger than dry oats. Have the ground thoroughly mellowed; drill the oats in with 250 pounds to the acre of some good bone fertilizer. Even If the ground is in good order, it will pay to use the fertilizer. The fertilizer will ripen the grain early, the straw will stand up stiff and cannot be blown down by summer storms and the yield will be^increased fully 10 to 12 bushels per acre.

The six-year-old son of a well-known Indianapolis family attends a dancing school. He is a chubby little fellow who has not begun to stretch out yet, and he keenly feels his "shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little "grownup." Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing "the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for her age, and just a trifle stouter than our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her iu silence. Then he took hold of her hand and, with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over the the teacher. "Don't you think you'd better give me a bigger girl?" he asked.—Indianapolis News.

Most Serious Problem. Infectious abortion among cattle bas become one of the most serious problems for cattle owners so far as infectious diseases are concerned. It is well entitled to rank in Importance with tuberculosis, hog cholera, and Texas fever. Two new medical treatments have recently appeared, either one of which may possibly prove to be of very great Importance. One, abortin, is used like tuberculin, as a diagnostic; and the other is a vaccine, which it Is hoped will immunize heifers against the infection. There is not sufficient reliable Information available as yet, upon which to Justify any definite statement. Breeders should keep these things in mind and watch for future developments.

The question is often asked, "Of how much value is school training to farmers from a business standpoint?" A recent agricultural survey of several townships of Tompkins county, New York, made by the College of Agriculture of Cornell University has revealed many interesting and suggestive facts bearing upon rural sociology. To quote from the summary: "The survey shows that a high school education Is worth as much to a farmer as $6,000 worth of 5 per cent, bonds. A college education la worth nearly twice as much."

FLINTOFT, \. : C m l - h I l.l: .-n OLEYS HONEY 'TAR Compound POP Sale by W . &• Brown Attention, Voters Pinckney, March 31 Editor of Dispatch, Pinckney, Mich. Dear 8ir:— Through the colamDs of your paper I wish to explain to each and every voter of Putnam township, the present existing condition of the roads throughout this township. First—The township money during the past two years has all been expending on a. mile or two of highway, making it the most perfect road in the township. To further this point.—If a farmer living on the southwest line of tbe boundaries of Putnam wishes to haul a load of wood or wheat to town he cannot do it with the best team in the county. Take a look at the roads in the central and north part. There are a number of bridges within tbe radius of Putnam which are now and have been in a dangerous condition for years. It is up to you Mr. Voter to look out for your own interests and to see to it that a Board is elected that will so plan the outlay of the money that two or three roads will not receive all the benefits and more than that, the township is now in debt on the state roads built last year. From said roads the minority .and not the majority are receiving the benefit. There will be another big tax this year, but I would no fault whatever if every taxpayer would share their just proportion of the taxes, but such is not tbe case. Too much local money in the form of bonds and commercial stock escapes taxation, which causes the largest proportion of the taxes to fall on the small farmer who has only 40 or a 100 acres to his credit. He pays from $25.00 to $118.00 every year for taxes. As a result, a farmer told me the other day that it took everything he could sell except $2.00 to pay his taxes this year. I wish to ask you Mr. Voter, is this justice? The Postmaster General has issued orders to postmasters to discontinue all mail routes where the roads are in an impassible condition. Now Mr. Voter and Mr. Taxpayer don't you think that right now is the time to begin that improvement? Let us band together and elect a Township Board with Commissioner that will go forth and repair ALL the roads in the Spring as the law juBtly requires. Very truly yours, H. B. GARDNER.

That i8 advertising. He personally solicit* trade or adopts some other means of advertising his business. Bnt one thing is certain, if any business is ever built up it is built up through the medium of adverising. Every business man must admit this, or why not start a business under ground and the proprietor sit down waiting for business to to oome to him? A well kept store in a good location, stocked with good goods at reasonable prices is an advertisement. A ' merchant cannot hide his light under a bushel and be a success. He must advertise. There are vorious ways of advertising, and for the sake- of convenience and in the order of their importance we give them here: 1st Personal Advertising—where the merchant personally solicits business, 2nd Personal Letter Advertising—where the merchant write* pgiiosrtl letters to stiimnlate business. 3rd—Newspaper Advertising— where through tbe newspaper the indiehsfit gives business news each week to thousands 4th Circular and Other Advertising—where through circulars, bills, bill boards and all other means of publicity effort is made to infiaeaoe the trading public. $here is no denying the advantage to a merchant in personally soUeUing business, either visiting prospective customers personally or writing tfceai personal letters. These are very effective ways of advertising, and at the same time very expensive ways of advertising. 1U w a i t e r advertising ie the next beet means of advertising and, prise eqsrideted, it to *f far the fret advertising.

Van Horn, Saturday, March 22. After appoint' ing committees for the next meeting, the company gathered around the tables and enjoyed a fine dinner. The program began by singing 'Blest Be tbe Tie That Binds'; reading by Myron Hendricks; recitation by Myrna Schoenhals; song by E. N. Ball who responded to an encore; recitation by Julia Ball; selection on the graphonola; members responded to roll call with current events. The topic of the day, The Initiative, Refferendum and Recall, was brought up and discussed by A. Schoenhals. L, E. Howlett of Howell gave a very able and interesting talk on the subject in which he pointed out many of the benefits but did not think it would remedy all ills of our state. The club gave Mr. Howlett a rising vote of thanks, after which Miss Julia Ball gave a recitation, "The Dutchman at a Telephone." The club then adjourned to meet with Mr. and Mrs. W. Hendee, Saturday, April 26. Topic for the next meeting: "Preparation for the Corn Crop." Discussed by Wm. Nash and P. Ooniway. Members will respond to roll call.

High Wind Friday Does Considerable Damage The miniature cyclone which struck Southern Michigan last Friday did not alight Pinckney. A number of chimneys were blown down,roofs torn off and signs blown away. The electrtc light service in certain parts of the village had to be discontinued owing to broken wires and many telephone lines especially in the rural districts were put out of commission. The Mag pole at the school house was blown down and the front of one of the stores owned by George Heasou torn off. At one time it was thought that the steeple of the Catholic church would fall. Although quite a little damage was done here still in comparison to the losses suffered in other towns, it must be admited that Pinckney was indeed fortunate in escaping so easily.

' 1 ' ' S it possible to make a ship unsinkable? At least, can't a craft be made far less likely to founder than under present systems of construction and yet be fit for the service for which she. is designed? The sinking of the Tttalnlc brought these questions before the public sdme months ago. Since then the skill of one man has . . developed a method which bids fair 4 w f 1 to add greatly to the margin of safe- JLSSJ ty"to any steel ship which may suffer serious damage below the water* line. The invention is a new application of prin* •ciples which have been employed for other purposes for many years. In 1908 the cruiser Yankee hit the Hen and •Chickens reef, Just outside of Newport. Various well-known salvage companies tackled the wreck, •but abandoned the work, declaring that It was •'.•Hxk'^M'-M\ • * ' - " 'f,.*.**- # m V rnr :¾¾¾-. m owe iil ( r ':i a IS •quite impossible to refloat thfe cruiser. Then two young engineers, W. W. Wotherspoon and R. O. King, attacked the task along new lines, obtaining the financial assistance of the late John Arbuckle. These enthusiasts—for such was the spirit in which they approached what others had pronounced hopeless—broke away from traditional practice and resorted to the use of compressed air « s a medium for salving the Yankee. The ship had landed high on the reef, and the jagged rocks had torn her bottom plating in many places, making it impossible to pump her out In the usual way. These innovators sealed up the 'hatchways leading to the various holds. Then 4hey pumped compressed air into the compartanents, and the sea was driven out again through t h e rents by which It had entered. The ship was thus made buoyant enough to be dragged from the rocks. Unfortunately she was run into and • o a k while being towed to harbor. An entirely new problem then presented Itself. lastead of making use* of cumbersome pontoons and other external buoyant auxiliaries, Messrs. Wotherspoon and King eettled upon the plan of. t u n i n g the Yankee into her own salvage apparat v * In other words, it was decided to utilise ^he snip's own compartments as buoyancy chambers toy draining them of the very Water which had carried the craft to the bottom. Ton will probably declare offhand that there is nothing original In this; anybody knows that a foundered vessel would rise if you could get the water out of her. But don't be too hasty In your eoftClusiont. The difficulty lies in the danger £hat when the air has forced the water out, the treasure of the overlying water will crush the *uH. How, then, did these young engineers -guard •against this danger? They did not try to pump out the cruiser in the 'literal sense of the word; they drove the water •out under the Impulse of compressed air and they ^balanced the contending forces so nicely that the *afclp's structure was substantially a neutral dlvtia) kM between them, the air pressure being just av trite in excess of the pressure of the water which' It forced outward from the buoyancy1 comapartments. Do you realise the engineering cunusing involved here? The compressed air actually ^constituted a stronger support for the burdened >;<4eck than the water whieh had previously filled t h e underlying space! As the cruiser rose to t h e surface > the pressure was progressively re* ftnced so that it Just maintained an excess of force against the exterior water. This method of floating the Yankee suggested to Mr. Wotherspoon a medium by which the tttfuettrre trt a vessel not yet sunk could be utiliz* Isje to keep her afloat when otherwise lnruahing 'water would certainly carry her to, the bottom. Wotherspoon's first adaptation of this syswaa for naval purposes, to provide means by which ma injured ship of war could survive the wader water attack of either torpedoes or subsnartne mines, and probably be kept on an even start eo that she eould still fire her guns effecttirel* against an enemy. ferom- the keel of a fighting ship up to a height of stvvral feet above the water line it is the prac- •fk* to subdivide her as far as possible into a lasts number of separate water-tight compartjprata, the idea, of course, being to confine the of injury. By making use of these o«rapait« ]&&*&&&? <3* JV&? j4A7S-JZXtV0B&0U3 <&47tyf was finished, to surrender to the navy department a large percentage of the weight allowance originally granted him. Take an empty tumbler, turn It bottom upward and press it down into a basin of water. The further you submerge it the smaller grows the air space, the air becoming more and more compressed. If you could slightly Increase the prassure of the confined air the encroaching r^ater would be driven outward. If the bottom of the tumbler were pierced, on the other hand, the air would escape and the water would rise and fill the space. Substitute a pipe instead of a free opening in the bottom of the glass and lead this pipe to a reserveir of compressed air. When this compressed air is poured into the tumbler the water will be driven out or the glass will rise and free itself of water. In either case then the space will be filled with air. This is substantially what Mr. Wotherspoon has planned shall happen when a ship's compartment or compartments are flooded through under water damage of any sort. Air will displace the water due to leakage and make the craft float well nigh as If she had not been injured. Of course this is upon" the assumption that the wound has occurred at the bottom and not the. top of a watertight subdivision; otherwise the 'chamber will remain flooded. But it takes a good deal of air to All most of the big divisions of a fighting ship, and there must be piping to carry the air to these hundreds of separate chambers. How did Mr. Wotherspoon provide for all these and yet not exceed the weight allowed him by the naval officials? He did it by making use of facilities actually already provdled for other services. Foul air, gases and heat beyond a fixed degree must be guarded against in a man-of-war wtthln the various under water compartments. To accomplish this end two pipes lead to each of these chambers, one to carry fresh air and the other to drain off the foul. Also every fighting ship is furnished with air compressors and there are a number of tanks in which this air is stored at a very high pressure. Normally this air is for the charging of the torpedoes, for some kind of mechanical work and for blowing the residual gases and bits of smoldering remnants of the powder bags out of the big guns before the breeches are. opened for reloading l The very fundamentals of Mr. Wotherspoon's system were thus already installed and a few inexpensive connections alone were needful to complete his requirements. All that was necessary was to tap the air supply system by flexible hose and Join the connection to the supply duct leading to any desired compart* ment, at the same time closing the exhaust -vent Thus compressed air under perfect control could be led intc the flooded chamber and the water quickly expelled. That is not all; the system makes it possible to enter the injured subdivision through a neigh- \zroe7y? CMJKKSA># 7&e jzp££>//%&r/w boring intact compartment for the purpose of effecting repairs. The workmen go into the c o n n e c t i n g chamber, dose it; and air is then admitted until the pressure equals that of the flanking dama g e d o n e . T h i s done, the dividing door is opened and the workmen can proceed with their task. Theoretically all the compartments of a fighting ship are supposed to be water-tight; practically some are not so. Here is where the safety system which Mr. Wotherspoon provides has another field of usefulness. Compressed air is very searching, much more so than water, and it has the added advantage of sounding an alarm wherever it manages to work its way through, even in a small measure. Dry air, unlike water. Is not destructive, and a compartment full of stores, electrical apparatus of any other things sensitive to water could be flooded with compressed air for test without doing the least harm to the contents. The value of this has already been proved in a number of instances recently and upon one occasion the draining of a leaking comparement and the charging with air of the surrounding compartments filled with stores resulted in the saving of probably $12,000 or $14,000 worth of property. In a few moments after the automatic alarm gave warning of the flooding the compressed_ jajr was in_serylce_ and the water ^JrWen overboard again. Perhaps the most striking example of Ihe effectiveness of this system for keeping an injured ship afloat and making it possible for her to proceed to port was that of the U. S. 8. collier Nero. The vessel Btruck Brenton's Reef, Rhode Island, in July of 1909. Ordinary salvage operations failed to dislodge her from the rockB, and it was not until certain of her decks were sealed hermetically and a number of the intervening spaces turned into closed compartments and compressed air pumped into her that she was released and floated. She reached the Brooklyn navy yard. Difficult. Representative Dudley M. Hughes of Georgia is called a farmer statesman and devotes much of his time to the agricultural Interests of hie district.

It is really no use putting up a statue or any other kind of memorial in London, for in a year or two unless seen to right along, it will be practically enveloped in a pitch black cloak of London soot, some 6,000 tons of which, according to an engineer's recent estimate, is always hanging in the atmosphere of this metropolis. The statue of "America" which has just been discovered adonis the front of the Cannon street hotel, which adjoins one of the biggest of London's railway stations and is a favorite place for big political and other gatherings. It was put up in 1866, since when its walls have not been cleaned, hence for forty years or more all of the rather elaborate decorations which cover them hare been hidden from sight ss completely as if they never had existed.

IATE WASHINGTON MATTERS OF NOTE THE PRESIDENT WILL TRY TO HARMONIZE FACTIONS ON THE TARIFF BILLS. TrtE INCOME TAX WILL CAUSE SOME HARD FIGHTING. Why the Policy Toward China Was Changed by the New Administration Is Cleared Up, The struggle within the ways and means committee for control between the conservatives and the radicals continues to be the subject of greatest interest to the politicians in Washington for on the outcome will depend the general character of the forthcoming tariff bills. President WUson has been appealed to. and during the next week it is expected that he will confer with all Interests, to arrive at some position where the factions may meet harmoniously, if such a thing is now possible. The situation as a whole so strikingly resembles that of four years ago, preceding the special session of congress called by President Taft, alsofor tariff revision, as to give it unusual significance. What the outcome will be nobody pretends to know, but everybody is watching developments from day to day, and doing his best to get at ail the facts. That Income Tax. A fight on income tax legislation, which may equal the coming battle on the tariff, is fomenting in Washington, and will break with the convening of the sixty-third congress, according to those conversant with the situation- . Behind the fight are believed to be some of the most wealthy men in the United States—men whose fortunes run into the hundreds of millions and whose share of the income tax rayst necessarily be heavy." As the matter now stands the democrat party has gone on record aa favoring the enactment of this legislation, but there is yet to be drafted a bill defining the nature and amount of the tax to be levied upon fortune*. Knox's Policy Changed. The purposes which actuated the Wilson administration, in repudiating Secretary Knox's policy with regard to the proposed six power loan to China, have been clarified in the last few days. _ • Briefl y stated _th_e _ad m in i st ration 'a attitude with regard to the proposed" loan is this: Once the bargain with the five other powers had been entered into the bargain would have to be kept. Possibly eventualities might have put this country into the position of being a party in a scramble for Chinese territory, in the event of failure on the part of China to fulfill the conditions of the loan. The administration desires to remain able, if such a scramble comes, to deter these ambitious powers, acting as the friend of the new republic. Germany and the United States each without territorial ambitions in China, long have been the restraining influence in the Chinese situation, according to administration officials. Russia and Japan, once this influence were removed, might feel free to satisfy ambitions for expansion which they are now said to entertain. President Wilson and his advisers concluded that the maintenance of this restraining influence on the other powers is far more important from the standpoint of friendliness to China than would have been the financial benefits which would have accrued to American commerce and banking from participation in the loan.

A man in handling v the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may throw it from him. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rail than what we build, as there would be no advantt ge in loading. OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat turns over I out ot the way in front and ics just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to • throw it in another pile on the ground. i DON'T FORGET. The Self-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield features You •till look for them in vain on any other spreader. High Under C l e a r a n c e A PECULAR FACT. The LitchBeld Down-Low baa substantially the '• same Under Clearance that our High Standard machines have. We use (he :• tame site wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives . Ds from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and •ame clearance under the front axle that we have always had in the high machines. Just compare this with the eight or tea inches clearance found under othsr low down spreaders. i , * . * <'•.*/! ! » • • * • i * . r PON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if It does not have sufficient' uuder clearance.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, HOWEVER. Short Ballot Bill Beaterw-That Boxno Commission—Federal Patronage and the Governor.—Other Legislative News. [By Gurd M. Hayes.] The bill Increasing the mill tax appropriation" of the Michigan Agricultural College from one-tenth to onefifth of a mill, which it is estimated will increase the allowance for the college from 1250,000 annually to about $500,000, has been reported out favorably in the senate and is said to stand an excellent chance of passing Lhe upper house. Whether the bill stands any show is a question over which there is a difference of opinion, some members claiming that in view of the attack on President Snyder there is small chance for success, while. others claim sufficient votes can be rallied to push the bill through. Students and the college and alumni In various parts of the state are sending letters to members of the legislature, urging them to lay aside any prejudice they may have against President Snyder and use their influence to advance the best interests of the institution by voting the school more money. It will be some time before a governor of Michigan appoints the various state officers. The proposed amendment to the constitution providing for the short ballot has been beaten again in the house and no further attempts will be made to raise the question during the present session. Rep. Jensen, who made a stirring speech against the proposed amendment declared that the people of the state have never made any demand for this innovation in the government and declared that if they adopt the initiative and referendum at the spring election, they will have the power to initiate such an amendment if they think such a change is really needed. Speaker Currie and other progressive republicans voted against the amendment, and the friends of the bill were unable to register the two-thlrda majority necessary for its adoption. y Governor Ferris does not take kindly to the proposed bill of Rep. Martz creating a boxing commission and legalizing ten-round bouts in this state. "Boxing as it should be conducted, suitable for the Y. M. C. A. and the gymi\aslum is permitted under the present law," said Gov. Ferris, "I would not endorse anything more than this. I am unalterably opposed to prize fighting and from the investigations I have been making, I am inclined to believe that many of the so-called boxing contests are nothing but prize fights. Anyway, since there is no law preventing decent boxing contests, I fail to see the need of a boxing commission or any law to legalize prize fighting and I would be opposed to any such proposal." The question of federal patronage is a problem that is causing considerable discussion among the democratic members of the legislature and Gov. Ferris has had numerous callers who wanted his indorsement for postmasterships and various other jobs. "There will be no repetition of the obnoxious 'referee' system as far as the federal patronage is concerned," said Gov. Ferris. "Of this I am assured by both members of the national committee and the state chairman. I have been asked to make suggestions and I am informed that information and recommendations as to the fitness and efficiency of the candidates, aa well as party service, will be solicited and welcomed from every source. "I cannot in Justice t othe duties of this office give the time necessary to make the required investigations for all of the hundreds of offices in Michigan. I was elected governor of Michigan and not the official dispenser of patronage. 1 will do »11 I can for worthy democrats and will conform to the policy of the administration and use my best efforts to promote harmony and advance the welfare of Michigan as well as to uphold the president in his ideals and standards aa to principles and appointees." At the election this spring the people of Michigan will be asked to pass judgment on several Important amendments to the state constitution. The equal suffrage amendment is the one that is attracting the most attention at present The Initiative on constitutional amendments, initiative on state statutes, the referendum and the1 amendment providing for the pensioning of members of city fire departments, will also he on the ballots. •Jt Senator Robert Walter, chairman of the fish committee appointed to meet with the Wisconsin legislature to {rame uniform fish legislation for Lake Michigan, has just received word from the game warden of Wisconsin, commending the Clark commercial fisheries bill which just passed the house. The Wisconsin expert says it is the best measure of its kind he has ever seen bearing on lake fisheries and rill ask the Wisconsin legislature to adopt it for that state as the basis for uniform fish laws. Michigan and Wisconsin never before have been able to agree absolutely on the commercial fisheries legislation and the difference has been a source of no little trouble to the game wardens of the two states and the commercial fishing interests representing the two sides of Lake Michigan. The complications have been so numerous and troublesome that Senator Walter determined this year to make a light for uniformity. With but little opposition the house committee on revision and amendment of the constitution reported out the resolution to Bubmit state wide prohibition to the people of Michigan. It cannot be said that the members of the house received the measure with great glee for many have asserted their personal disinclination to support such a measure but adding thereto a statement that probably they would vote for the bill if the committee turned it loose, and the indications now are better for success for the resolution than in any previous session, In both houses. The action of the committee this session comes as something of a surprise, observers point out, in view of the fact that such other measures such as equal suffrage, the initiative, referendura and recall, have the call on public attention, while in other years delegation after delegation came here to fight for such a measure, and petitions by the thousand were filed without effect. This year with little or no agitation the resolution is placed in position where'it is generally admitted there is a chance for its passage. The committee was not agreed on the matter, and the report is without favorable recommendation for the resolution by the committee. On the question of reporting out the bill the following members voted in favor: Reps. Skeels, Hulse, Flowers, Middleton, Pray, Wieland, C. H. McDride, Stevens, Rice, while Chairman Ashley and Reps. Suttari, Freeman and Foote favored indefinitely postponing consideration of the matter. raitCTIVE STORM SWEEPS MANY UVES ARE LOST AND TOWNS ARE LAID IN RUINS BY DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.

Fires Follow Wind in Stricken Cities and Destruction by Fire Is Great Owing to Inability of the Firemen to Work Effectively During die Storm. Better and cream must hereafter be All doubts as to the progressive nature of the senate were dispelled when the upper bouse in a single afternoon passed the resolutions providing for the submission of constitutional amendments that would give the people of the state, the initiative and referendum on legislation, the recall, the initiative and referendum on constitutional amendments and the short ballot. Five years ago there measures would have been considered fit only for the discussion of statesmen of socialistic tendencies. And yet, such changes have been wrougt, that all these measures hardly brought out an antagonistic comment from the floor. In this day of primaries when every aspirant to publie office must explain his action and his vote to the folks at home, the people really have come to rule. "The people want ft," is excuse enough for anything in this progressive day. Old legislators who had in the house and senate of five and ten years ago fairly gasped aa the. initiative and referendum slipped -through the senate. There was no further discussion of the short ballot proposal of Senator QdeTl. Some of the members of the sen* ate did not want It, but they were of the opinion that it would be killed in the house. A terrific windstorm causing widespread destruction and loss of life and practically wrecking the already demoralized telegraph service raged over the central west and middle states late Sunday. Reports from Nebraska, Kansas, iowa and Indiana indicate heavy damage, but owing to the wrecking of the telegraph lines, the reports are fragmentary and lacking in detail. Omaha, Berlin, Ashland and Yutan, Neb.—the latter towns near Omaha— Marshalltown, Ackley, Woodbine and Carroll, Iowa; Terre Haute, Ind., and Abilene, Kan., are places from which scattering messages carrying news of grave destruction have been received. The death list at Yutan was placed at 15 and the injured at 50. For more than four hours no word was received from stricken Omaha. Tate bulletins report that half the city was swept by a tornado. All wires were down, and Berlin, a neighboring town, was said to be in flames. The message was received over a single long distance telephone wire, which worked at intervals. Terre Haute Hard Hit. Terre Haute. Ind., suffered severely. Scores of persons were injured, an unknown number were' overwhelmed in the ruins of houses blown down by the wind, and many fires were started in different parts of the city. First reports from Nebraska were that the towns visited by the storm had been wiped out and that the wreck* age was on fie. Trains loaded with rescuers, nurses and physicians were struggling toward the scene, being compelled to feel their way without running orders, owing to the paralysis of the telegraph service. Iowa Escapes Worst. The loss of life and property in Iowa was less severe, according to messages from the swept district. Dust storms, rain, hail and tremendous, electrical disturbances prevailed over Kansas and Nebraska thegreater part of the day. Where railroad service was impossible motor cars were pressed into service and surgeons and supplies were rushed to the wrecked towns at the best speed possible over the washed out roads. With no warning the terrific gale swept down upon the district. Parts of the Root Glass company's plant were flattened. The end of the foundry room of the Garland factory, a solid brick wall 18 inches thick, was caved in. Brick and stone structures suffered alike. Lightning set fire to many houses. Men, women and children were crushed to death in bed. Some escaped to the cellars. Whole structures were blown away by the force of the tvind. The- maimed were rushed to hospitals as fast as they were extricated. Rain Saves Scores.

The Rayburn measure which requires that butter must contain at least 81 per cent of butter fat ^nd cream at least 18 per cent of milk fat, was passed by a vote of 87 to 2 and sent to the senate. Advocates of the measure asserted the standards required are those adopted by the general government, and it is declared the bill will bring prestige to Michigan butter as well as to protect the buyer from purchasing a large quantity of water in his butter. would be blVghted if the state~made a reduction by force in the debt of the Pere. Marquette railroad was the declaration made by Frederick W. Stevens, former general counsel for the road and now with J. P. Morgan A: Co.. at the close of Friday's testimony before the legislative committee investigating the increase of the funded debt of the Pere Marquette from $25,000,000 to $70,000,000 in 14 years. He said that all of the stock issued by the Pere Marquette had the stamp of approval of the state of Michigan uopn it and was bought by the holders with the assurance of its legality. If the state attempted a forceful reduction of the debt, the common stock would be the first item that would have to be reduced, next would be the $5,000,000 in debentures issued to the stockholders who contributed that sum to the road in 1904, and next would come the $8,000,000 In notes issued in 1911 to defray legitimate expenses, making a total of close to $39,000,000, all of which would pome from people who had acted in godd faith with the road. Senator Allswede's horse power tax on automobiles which is a preliminary or auxiliary measure to the trunk line highway now pending in the senate has been passed by the senate on third reading. This carries a tax of 50 cents per horse power on pleasure vehicles and 25 cents per horse power on com* mercial cars. The difference is accounted for by the fact that commercial vehicles practically are limited to the use of streets in cities and do not contribute to the wear on country roads.

"He la not ill?" he questioned. "lYou mean—" "Confidentially, Doctor," I admitted, "we haven't the faintest notion juBt how he is. He may be in excellent health or he may have ceased to exist." "Good God!" he exclaimed, and his face was as white as his linen. "Our best Information is that he Is on a steamer—a tramp—bound for China, but we have no particulars, and worse still, no verification." It was neither fair nor consistent to conceal longer from one so Justly interested the whole truth, and so, without reservation, I told Dr. Addison the story. Before I had quite concluded, Miss Clement was announced, and when she was shown into the library, instead of permitting the physician to leave, as he made offer of doing, I presented him and insisted upon his remaining. "I want you to tell Miss Clement about your patient, Doctor," I said. "Miss Clement is a very good friend of Miss Grayson's." Graciously he complied, making it quite clear that sedatives and sleep would undoubtedly effect a prompt recovery. "And now Miss Clement will tell us something," I added. "She has had a patient, too, who died this morning, as you may have seen by the afternoon papers—the Eurasian who was shot by McNish." Up to that moment I knew but little of what Soy had divulged, for the missionary, in her two or three brief telephonic talks, had given us scarcely more than promises of important revelations when opportunity could be made for a meeting; and I was impatient for the fulfilment. , She had chosen a seat at some little distance from us, but now, at my solicitation, she accepted a more comfortable chair, which I placed in confidential Juxtaposition with our own. "Itj's rather a long story," she began, in her sweetly quiet voice. "And as It came to me piecemeal, I'm afraid it will be rather disconnected. You see this poor fellow suffered horribly at times and when he-was hot suffering he was under the influence of opiates, so ordinarily I doubt that it would be safe to accept as fact a good deal said under such circumstances. It appears to me, however, that in hie case, these very conditions only strengthen the probabilities; for his njind seemed to hold only the one theme, and his statements could hardly have been either spontaneous or studied fnventions. On the other hand, they were rather a sort of involuntary recital of the particulars of a subject which had engrossed him for years to the exclusion of almost everything else." Dr, Addlscn nodded his head, encouragingly. "I quite understand, Miss Clement," he said. And I, too, assured her that her reasoning appeared to me logical "It was significant," she continued, "that so far as I could fix dates, he made no references at all to any happening prior to sixteen years ago. The tragedy of that time was the begin* ning of what I think I may call his mania. Everything he told me had to do with i t It came at the beginning, at the apex, and at the end of every revelation." "The tragedy of sixteen years ago?" inquired the physician. "The tragedy of what has been called T h e Sable Lorcha,'" X reminded him. "Oh, yes, of course." "Yon know of that, then?" asked Miss Clement. And briefly I ran over what Yup Sing had told me. "John Soy, I understand, waa the cook whom McNish imprisoned In the galley," I added. "It seems he broke his way out Just as the lorcha was sinking. McNish had waited until he had gone to his bunk for his usual hop, and had chosen the hour he was sleeping to get away and scuttle the vessel. For five days Soy floated about on a bit of wreckage without food or drink, and was finally picked up by a proa and taken back to Macao at the mouth of the Canton river, where, after weeks of delirium, he, told his story of the lorcta's fate. From that day tb* search for McNish began. It seems that he had a partner, an Irishman, named Moran. who for a time waa suspected of having been la the conspiracy; for, yon moat remember, it was thought then that the sinking of the lorcha had been planned from the first, the idea being that it was simply a scheme to get the passage money from the poor coolies, and then drown Uiem." "Horrible!" ejaculated the physician. "But the Chinese are Just," the missionary continued. "They discovered that a certain United States cruiser that had been warned Of the attempted smuggling, did, om that particular day. f t o sheas to a tarobe, which and, ultimately, this same Moran became the most openly bitter of all the avenging horde that for over a decade and a half scoured the four corners of the globe; for it seems that McNish had not only made off with his share of the receipts of their Joint enterprise, but had left him with a ruining lot of debts to settle as well. There was something, too, I believe, about a Chinese woman whose loyalty to Mcran, McNish undermined, but I cor* fess that part of the story was no*: very clear to me: At all events Soy. the half-breed, and Moran, the Irish man, who appears to have been a rov ing blade, a sort of soldier of fortune with some talent for painting, becam? the prime movers In this relentleef quest, in which they were backed hy what is known as the Six Companies All the tongs, no matter how much it variance on other points, were a uili in this instance, and unlimited mousy was always available to prosecute the search." A footman, appearing at this Juncture with the inevitable tea paraphernalia, interrupted temporarily the current of Miiss Clement's narrative. Birt our Interest was such that we limited the cessation to the briefest possible period. Dr. Addison, whose-professional engagements were being toppled over one after another, politely urged her. to continue, directly her d p was In her hand. "Think, Miss Clement," he said, with an Ingratiating smile, "of the rapt audience you have! I trust it is at once an inspiration and a compensation." "It surely is," was the good lady's prompt acknowledgment. "And, by the way, I must not forget to tell you how this man, McNish, actually had the temerity to return to China a few years ago. He appeared to think either that his crime had been forgotten or that knowledge of It was limited to the Southern provinces, for in the early fall of 1903, under one of his many aliases, he arrived at Peking, by way of the Trans-Siberian Railway." , The doctor and I exchanged glances. It was odd how confirmation of the error he had already avowed should thus come about from the lips of one who knew nothing of his story of a shattered friendship. "Oddly enough, Moran happened to be in the city at the time and every arrangement was made to capture the long-sought prey and convey him to Canton for some exquisite torture devised especially to fit his crime. In some way, howeyer, the Intended victim got wind of what was proposed, and came within an ace of escaping unscathed from under their very fingers. Indeed, he did escape in the end, but not before Moran had very nearly put a finish to him by a knife thrust in his back." Once more I exchanged glances with the physician, for scarcely half an hour before, I had told him of the scar under McNlsh's left shoulder blade, received as I had been told, in Buffalo. "Moran fled from Peking after this encounter, not knowing whether his enemy were dead or alive, and for awhile, I believe, latd very low,' as they aay. In spite of all the efforts of the combined Chinese organizations, McNish, warned now of bis constant danger, eluded their search, but at length Soy himself succeeded in tracing him to Canada and thence to Buffalo. There Moran came, posthaste, and once more there waa a street encounter. Moran was arrested, and McNish charged him with assault with intent to kill. The result was that Moran waa convicted and sent to prison for a term of years; and once again the earth seemed to close over McNish." The discrepancies between Mis* Clement's narrative and that of Yup Sing 1 did not regard as sufficiently vital to raise a question ever, yet I must admit that I could hardly foresee a conclusion without a much graver antagonism of facts as'I knew them. The missionary having paused to sip her tea, Dr. Addison asked permis- ^sion to smoke a cigarette, which she readily granted. "On Moran'* release from prison," Miss Clement continued, fortified by the fragrant Oolong, "be appears for the first time to have considered the advisability of adopting some sort of an incognito. Prior to this time he had. Soy told me, been carefully clean shaven and close-cropped. Now he grew a beard and wore his hair long, and, in addition, be doctored it with henna until it became a fiery red. He also changed his name from Moran to Murphy, and instead of frequenting the busy marts of mefe, he retired to an isolated /country place on the Cos Cob river and posed as an artist. He employed always a Chinese servant, and at least once a week, without fail he visited Chinatown, keeping always in touch with the powers there, which west still unrelenting in their efforts to trace McNish." She same now to Murphy's so-ceilel himself bad already told rae. I would have savc3*h«e!r this recital, but It was new to Dr. Addisou and BO I allowed her to proceed. "It was plainly evident to Moran," she pursued", "that McNish—or at least the gentleman he supposed was McNish—did not recognize hira, and his delight at this discovery was unbounded; for it gave him opportunity, quite unsuspectedly, to arrange all his plant] for a most ingenious campaign of torture. What that campaign consisted of, of course, you already know, Mr. Clyde, and I presume Dr. Addison does, too." "Yes," I replied, "I have told the doctor." "What you don't know, though," she added, "Is how it was managed." "We have been told something about amyl pearls," I suggested. "Amyl pearls?" queried Dr. Addison, curiously. With as much clearness as possible I explained to him what I meant by using thlB admittedly Inaccurate term. "Incredible!" he exclaimed. "Can it be possible that there is such an anaesthetic as this, and we have never even heard of it before?" "There can be no doubt about its existence," I answered. "I myself have experienced its effects, though 1 have never actually seen it put in operation." But it was Miss Clement who was most convincing. "I have never seen either it or its effects, Doctor," she said, "but I am willing to believe even more marvellous things than that where the Chinese are concerned. You must remember that as a race they are most Jealous of their knowledge as well as their possessions. Just now, after all their many centuries of a civilization greater In some respects than our own, we are beginning to learn something of them and their ways, and I should not be at all surprised to discover that in chemistry, in medicine even, they have forgotten more than we know. Soy assured me that not only for days, but for weeks, he himself came and went about Mr. Cameron's— or, as he called it, McNlsh's— country place without being either Been or heard, simply by using this ether of invisibility. It was he who delivered the three letters. It was he who cut the head from the portrait, and it was he who broke the mirror; and yet no one saw him on the grounds or in the house, and Indeed there were very few who saw him in the vicinity. Again and again, he assured me, he could have taken his victim's life but that he was intent on Inflicting a punishment more protractedly horrible than mere Budden death." "Who wroto the letters?" I asked. "Moran." "I thought so. And Moran killed the Chinaman who worked for him." "No; there you are wrong, Mr, Clyde." "Then who did?" "Soy himself. He learned of how that boy, unable to control his hatred ofjhe man who h a d s I a i n some oneor 'more^-of his klnspeople, carried back the hea,d that had been cut from the portrait, borrowed a rifle from Mr. Cameron's own gamekeeper, and shot the canvas full of holes. It seemed to Soy, then, that in spite of all his and Moran's careful preparation this would surely involve trouble, and that once more their quarry would slip through their Angers. And to prevent the possibility of any more unrestrained fervor on the boy'B part, Soy beat him to death." "I know Soy, or Peter Johnson as he called himself, managed the kidnapping from the yacht," I said, "but 1 shall never understand how it was done. Did be speak of that?" "Over and over again, ft was he who learned of the intention to take the cruise. At first they thought they would have to change their plans and carry their enemy off before he had a chance to take to his yacht. But Soy maintained that that would be too crude a method; whereas to let him think that he had escaped and was safe away, and then, at the very moment, of bis triumph, to snatch him from seeming security, would be the very refinement of cruelty the avenger so much desired. And so the properties were secured at some fabulous figure—1 forgot Just what they paid for that fast power boat—the scene was set, and the great act of the drama, with Soy still the star, was carried to a successful- climax." "But," ! made question, "I don't see how Soy could take such a risk. If it had been McNish instead of Cameron, be certainly would have recognised him, when he was brought aboard from the disabled dory." sesntasny dlsapgssred in the lag. en* - iO cb "He thought of that, but yoir must remember- th*t*-t* ..all-v.ihes*. *.U£*$tt years McNish had never once seen Soy.

New , England coast, there v»* not One chance in ten thousand that McNish would connect him with the cook he hud left for dead in the South China Hea." *'But McNish did recognize hira as soon as he laid eyes on him in this house. I saw that myHelf, you know, Miss Clement. He recognised him and was terror stricken." Miss Clement smiled tolerantly. She was armed at all points. "You did not know, I suppose, Mr. Clyde, that that was not their first meeting," she explained. "Soy met McNish on the night you found him. It was he who assaulted him, somewhere about Seventh avenue and I'^iftleth street, and would have killed h/m then had not the police arrived at the moment. The officers probably thought McNish was intoxicated and let him go, seeing that he could stand, and so he staggered on to Fifth avenue; and there you discovered him." "No, I did not know that," I admitted, a little crestfallen. "What followed?" "You remember I told you that Chinatown was in a state of frenzy, the next day? You can understand now, why. Soy, of course, reported that McNish had escaped from the steamer—" "What steamer?" I cried, suddenly realizing that the one really vital piece of information we should have obtained, had all this while been delayed. "What steamer? Did he give you the name of it?" "In just a moment, Mr. Clyde," she said, with a smile that I confess exasperated me. "Pardon me," I returned, Insistently, "but you do not realize, I tear, what minutes even may mean in this matter." "No," 3till very calm, "I really don't. The steamer has been at sea now twenty-five days. It is bound for Hong Kong. If there was a chance of overtaking it. I—" "There's every chance of overtaking it," I interrupted onoe again. "Tomorrow, or next day, or even today, it may put into Rio. We must telegraph the United States Consulate at every possible port." And then, for the first time, apparently, Miss Clement seemed to appreciate there was a real urgency. "The steamer is the Glamorganshire," she said, quickly: "A freighter; a tramp, I suppose; ho u n d for Hong Kong. She sailed on Wednesday, the twenty-eighth of last month, and Mr. Cameron was put aboard, halfdrugged, as one of the crew." Monyon's Paw-Paw Hi«i asp unlikeailotsQ er lasatfvesor cathat* tics.

CHAPTER X X V I I . The Tortoise and the Hare. Although Miss Clement's interesting -.-chapter" of disclosures was by no means ended with the name of the steamer and its date of sailing, it there came, so far as I was concerned, at least, to an abrupt intermission. For, as though the delay and inaction of the past month but served to swell the flood of my eager energy, the tide, so )6ng checked but now set free, careering like an unleashed spring freshet, overrode all barriers. With scant apology, I sprang to the telephone, and if Miss Clement continued her conversation with Dr. Addison, I was deaf to what she said. What I sought, first of all, was corroboration Did a steamship, named the Glamorganshire, sail for Hong Kong on October 28th? In less than five minutes, the facts were mine. Such a steamer had sailed for the east on that date. Her agents were Bartlett Brothers. Their offices were in the Produce Exchange Building. Another minute, and Bartlett Brothers were on the wire. No, the Glamorganshire did not take the South American route. Her course was through the Mediterranean and the Sues Canal. She carried no passengers. She was British, She was very slow. She had called at the Azores and then at Gibraltar, where she had been delayed In coaling. Yes, she would make several Mediterranean ports. If all went well, she would reach Port Said about December 6th. Certainly not before that. Probably a day or so later. I dare-say it was exceptional that I secured all this information with so little trouble, and wttfriut giving any hint as to why I desired it, but merely on the statement that I was Mr. Clyde,, of The Week. ,, ^ (TO BE CONTINUED.) Race Not Going Backward i*~ sasstlsg srtth Casaeroa ©a the Proof That the Men of Today Are at Least Taller in Stature Than Their Ancestors. Some time ago when it was wished to use some ancient suits of English armor for a pageant it was found that they were all too-small for the use of the average man. Now conies a aim* ilar story from Germany. Tbe custodian of a castle near Innsbruck, a man slightly under the average height, says that he has tried on every suit of armor in the castle and that they are ail too small for him. The custodian of the castle of Voduz, who Is of still lesser stature, says the same 'thing of the armor underlie oars, and we ere reminded of the low doors and short beds that are so distinguishing a feature of old Got die houses.

LINCOLN'S FAME FOREVER FIXED IN HISTORY i*.& • ) . ' ; • > • • ffi • . > , » ' ' • iv.. sir <i v< - E flood of orations and editorials throughout the land, in which t h e loved and honored name of Abraham Lincoln appears, has for many years passed be- ..fore our: eyes, and the reader of them tfs able to see what an immense fame the name of Lincoln has already achieved, and to what an extent the popular estimate of the man verges •upon hero worship, For if wo wuold know popular feeling concerning a great name, these public memorial addresses and newspaper editorials, for t h e most part attuned to the public pulse, are a better guide than the mora cautious andv unemotional estimates to be found In the works of the teat* .historians. The mass of the .people do not read the ponderous histories; they do read the newspapers and listen to the glowing periods of the popular orator on ceremonial or commemorative occasions. A' prominent western paper has declared that Uncola Is universally regarded a s "the one indispensable man* of the Civil war period. Rev. Br. Edward Bfetett R a t * took oeas> • i o n to condemn certain»,phases or Ithe Lincoln portrait as presented in « certain popular novel of t h e Civil w s * period, o o the ground that they unaeeeseariij vulgarised Lincoln's «haracter. Oniy pne newspaper editorial has come to our attention which In Any way tried to exhibit some of tot, possible defects of Lincoln a s a crteietman, and that was unmistakably designed t o exouse certain "faults of politicians in general, by enveloping t h e * with the halo that surrounds a *reat name.

But Lincoln, however much he-may suffer-In the future from overpraise, Is still fortunately fljed on the stage of the world's past, and whatever reaction there may be, even in the minds of scholars, Is not likely to assume the dimension* of real controversy. Historians will never quarrel over him as they do over Cromwell and Napoleon, or even Jefferson.

Perhaps the reason »why- Lincoln will never arouse much controversy like these other towering historical figures is that the work he wrought and the cause he personified are less open to honest differences of opinion. For two centuries after Cromwell's head was hacked from his dead body and made a public show as a mock to his name, good men were sharply divided «as to whether the anti-monarchical cause in England had been in any way grounded in reason or Justice. Over the work of Napoleon men today violently differ, and centuries may have to elapse before a final cpnaeasus of opinion regarding him wtU b e 4 * possible. In Lincoln's case, the>att-| Port Huron.,— It is understood that Prank Schell of this city received 115,000 from the Detroit United railway for the loss of 'a-leg in an accident near St. Clair a year ago. Schell refuses to deny or affirm the report. It is known that he turned down an offer of $12,000 by the company and held out for a larger amount. Flint.—Charles F.

In any event, hostile eri oaaont leave Lincoln's fame in a ai of collapse. He must remain one of the great men of modem times—one {of the very greatest ranking in the l&h century with Just two others Bismarck and Napoleon* In the :4m> nortaooe of the issues he embodied And atill It is a mistake to assume that Lincoln wan *indiip«nsabj4' Without blm the north would sarily have won the fight, because of its own pnparior strength. It is no disparageent of great men to say that tfteir amet come to represent far tHft than anything they actually were, is the flesh. The labels of these historic flgnrea assume abstraotr impersonal attributes, they stand for caaset ,*ud^ gam on the eaergles. the hopei, tb* struggles of whole peoples. It is only J iJalaraazoo.—Charles White, who -few months ago returned to fcfyiBMiazoo after serving a sentence In fcisV'Detroit workhouse for assault, was landed in jail again on a charge of beating Julius Jaelnek with a gas pipe joint, tied in a leather casing. The injured man was struck over the temple from behind, a severe gash being cut in his head. He wandered about for nearly an hour in a dated condition before being able to notify the police. Dowagiac—There is a hot fight on in the public schools of this city. Principal C. L. 'Austin, with Edna Ballard of the English department; Amelia Kirkland, history teacher, and E.

In the end opposite the door there is a wooden shutter about two feet square for air and ventilation, and this, as well as the window, should have strong, fine meshed wire nailed on the outside. The roosts are located in the rear, up under the roof,, with a platform below to oatch the droppings, 3½ feet wide, extending the whole length of the house.

When I think i have them killed out some neighbor brings a lousy sow for breeding and aa % result there are plenty of lice left to stock the entire herd. Then 1 have to make a fight against hog J lice again. If the sows have only a few lice when the pigs are farrowed the entire litter will eoon be polluted with^lce. 1 have seen numbers of half grown lice on the pigs before they were a week old. ^ Last spring I mixed hog's lard and kerosene oil, about equal parts, and greased the sows with It about ten days before they were due to farrow, then in a few days I went over them again with the grease. This killed the lice out so there was not a louse found on the pigs from the time they were farrowed until they were weaned. Either the kerosene oil or the lard will kill the lice all right, but the kerosene by itself win irritate the skin and will soon evaporate while the lard will stay on the hogs for several days. This mixture will not injure the akin. I mnmsmm Mulh TN Csfl safely Buy Or.

Well oif, good looking, a first-rate sportsman, a favorite with men and women alike, the Fates spinning busily had smiled upon him at birth and had woven only gold threads in the woof of bis life* For years he had lived the life of the smart young man about town. Be had dene the same thing In the usual ?ay,'he,had been neither very good, tfor bad; in his own Words, the favorite words of British youth, he had always "tried to play the game." It was because he felt it incumbent upon him to ylay the game that he decided to tell the woman he waB going to marry of a certain newly closed episode in his life. The consideration that perhaps It would be aa well for her to-'hear the tale from him firsthand, instead of embroidered with lies on a foundation of truth, as she might hear It from some one else.gnay have counted for something, too. But the reason he gave himself aa he knotted his tie carefully before the mirror on the fateful morning of confession was that he "must play the game." "I hardly know how to tell you, dear/i'he began awkwardly, standing tall and, perfectly groomed on the hearthrug tbat afternoon. It's so difficult to speak to women—pure women, like you—about certain things, but the fact of the matter is, I've been, an awful rotter, Evelyn, and I feel It's up to me to own it. You're not marrying a saint, you know." The fair-haired woman In the big big armchair looked up at him sweetly out of innocent blue eyea: "Dear, I do know," she said gently. He moved uncomfortably. "But it's just what you don't know," he told her, "that I'm worrying about I'm not thinking of cards and racing, and things like that It's about women I want to speak to you. Especially one woman." He paused, and bit his lip nervously. "Ah!" said the woman Boftly, looking down, "She was a nice little thing," went on the man. "Not quite a lady, you know, but very pretty and all that. . . . Her father drank. She ran away from home. Hadn't a friend in the world when I picked her up, Only the streets in front of her. A good woman like you, Evelyn, can't realize what the horror of that means. . . . I took a flat for her." "Ah!" said the woman softly, looking down. "I lived with her more or less for three years,' 'went on the man, gathering courage from her passlveness. "She was very grateful for all I had done for her; she was really quite a nice little thing. Bat, of course, that's all-over and done with now. I settled up finally with her today. I shall never see her again. There was no reason for you erer to know, Evelyn, only that I felt it wouldn't be quite playing the game not to tell you." "What has beoome of the glrir asked the woman, still softly and still looking away. The man shrugged his shoulders. "Still in the flat, I presume," he said carelessly. "The rent is paid up till December." Hit voice became persuasive. He bent down so that his faee was very near the coils of fair hair wound smoothly round her head. "Don't let's talk about her any more," he urged. "It's aU finished and done with. Now, don't frown, but just kiss me, and aay yon forgive me." "You're a very naughty boy, Jack," said the woman reprovingly, but she let him wind her smooth white arms round hie neck* an he knelt beside her on the floor.

Claim to Repeal Present Mortgage Tax Law Would Work Hardship to' Many People. • Discussion of plans for resisting efforts to repeal the state's mortgage tax law engaged the attention of members of the legislative committee of Detroit real estate board. Definite lines for the campaign were not decided on, but the sentiment expressed Indicates the board will make a strong fight in defense of the tax law, on the ground that the interval during which it has been in operation has been too short for a/fair test of its merits. The legislative committee of the board includes C. M. Harmon, chairman; Walter C. Woolley, William E. Roney, Homer Warren and Richard Q. Lambrecht. President Judson Bradway, Secretary E. B. Tyrrell and others participated in the conference. In reference to the attitude of the real estate board President Bradway says: "We feel that the law has not been in operation long enough to be tried out properly. It has worked very satisfactorily in other states and we believe the least we can do is to Bee that it is given a chance in Michigan." "To repeal the mortgage tax law will simply make a let of liars and crooks out of people, because no man will allow anyone to rob him if he knows about it," says Thomas H. Welch, of Welch Bros. "It is simply legalized highway robbery when the law requires a full rate of taxation on land and a full rate of taxation on the mortgage covering the same land." Figures from the auditor general's office show that since the mortgage tax law has been in operation, about 15 months, the aggregate value of mortgages on which the filing tax is paid has been increased to approximately three times what it was before the law became effective," says Secretary Tyrrell, of the real estate board. In the conference, Homer Warren pointed out that since the tax law has been in force, many persons have bought mortgages and that should the law now be repealed, considerable hardship would be inflicted on widows and: others, who have placed their funds in that form of security. \W It aw** be awftl to get into a tttHob «4 jCMnot* political reformers who ara baseball fans and listen to the*> oommente on the. new govern i**16 campaign ,jaaj».'*»< *h» latiprttoMOn of toe dssVf force* of Montcalm county .IBM* at t l * MUM time. ; * rV" A Kansas City saloonkeeper, » a 0 B«v»f bad a cash register but tract Ms bartender Implicitly, died iSttV B?8$»^j*V&4 Time for Recall, Says Martindale. In an address before the members of Capitol Orange, in LanBing, Secretary of State Martindale declared himself in favor of the initiative, referendum and recall. He said the time has passed in Michigan when the- politician can tell the people what measures are best for them. "I believe the time has arrived when the electors should have the right to recall any official who Is derelict in his trust of conserving their beat Interests," said Martindale. "and at any time when the legislative power does not respond to the demand of the people in regard, to the enactment of legislation essential to the conservation of their property and well being then I believe the people should have the right to initiate such legislation. "I do not think, however, that the initiative should be the usual way of promoting legislation, but it Bhould certainly be a means by which the people can secure deBired legislation when their represetnatives either refuse to act or are ignorant of the people's real needs.''

Short courses under the auspices of the agricultural college have been announced tor five hi^h schools. But even these courses do not seem to be sufficient, and Snpt. A. H, Clark, <tfi*iiN€ the Kingstey school has evolved 4? plan which, he believes, will hOjh> fll^t; the demand. Beginning with Februarytf 3, he will conduct a Monday night school for the farmers living close to Kingsley. The course will be made to appeal to practical men and will be arranged to meet their specific ne,eds. To start, stress will be placed upon those parts of chemistry, mineralogy, zoology, plant life, and physical geography as relate to farming, that the farmer may see the value of these sciences in connection with his vocation. This is the first night school for farmers in the western Michigan territory and the result of the experiment will be closely watched that other sohools may be started if this is a success. Says State Can't Own Railway. A resolution offered in the house of representatives that a committee of five be named to confer with the attorney general as.to the steps to be taken for. the state of Michigan to own and operate the Pere Marquette railroad, caused a furore in the house. The resolution was offered by Rep. Henry Glasner, of Barry, and followed the statement of Gov. Ferris in The Journal Monday that he would like to see this railroad under state ownership. The house adopted the resolution first, but Rep. Charles Flowers, of Detroit, moved that it be reconsidered. Flowers asserted that the state has not the rlght.to own and operate railroads. After some confusion the house reconsidered the Glasner resolution and then tabled it. A fight to take it off the table is said to be certain. wwifltr MJJUltS WurnUoLtll!

There Is a possibility that an attempt will be made during the present session of the legislature to repeal the law prohibiting the use o^ oleomargarine in state institutions. Secretary Marl T.

With the. exception of Dr. Pierce of the state sanitorium and Quartermaster Phillips of the soldiers' home, the officers of most of the state institutions believe that it would be better to use a high grade of oleo rather than cheap butter. A rollicking farewell was given to the Tait administration at the annual dinner of the Gridiron club. , , At, the same time the club mem> bera took advantage of their last opportunity to play another joke on President Taft and those associated with him in his administration of the national government. With "Uncle Joe" Cannon, and others whose official days In Washington end March 4, the president was made the target for many a witty shaft. The president was honored with a great ovation, however, and invited to attend every future dinner of the club. Both President Taft and former Speaker Cannon opened their hearts to the club members and spoke feelingly of their days in Washington, now so nearly at an end. The adventure of the Bull Moose, and the probable fate awatttog Preident- elect Wilson and his advisers were portrayed in the absurd funny fashion which originated with the Gridiron club. There were even an inaugural parade, and it was witnessed by a splendid array of cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors and others. i The guests had hardly seated themselves at the tables In the beautifully decorated * ball room of the New Willard hotel, and admired the mortarboard cap inkstand souvenirs in reminder of President Taft's new role as Yale professor when a tremendous boom, boom of bass drums was heard from behind the scenes and the fun was on.

By a vote, of 47 to 23, the Jfifftrkft. single term resolution was adopted by the senate. The advocates of the reform succeeded in mustering just two more than the necessary twothirds. Under the terms of (he resolution as it passed the senate, Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Taft and Woodrow Wilson are eliminated from the field of possibilities for the presidency in future contests. The resolution, if it should he ratified by three-fourths of the states before the expiration of Mr. Wilson's term will, however, have the effect of adding two years to his tenure, giving him a six instead of a four year term. The resolution now goes to the house and the likelihood is that it will be passed by that body by a more decisive vote than resulted in the senate. 2,000,000 Britons to--Strike for8 Hours.

'HockafeUert Jry spd^y^gave • out a atement expljlni*g»%|he «^J||p» work and plans of' that institution. .The bureau, he said, came into existence abcVt two years ago as a result of the work of a special grand jury ap-' pointed to investigate the white slave traffic ,in New York city. This jury recommended that a public commission be appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of that grand jury and he thereafter gave the eubject deep thought and conferred with a large number of leading men and women. "These conferences," says Mr. Rockefeller, "developed the feeling that a public commission would labor under a number of disadvantages, such as the fact that it would be short lived; that its work would be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do more than present recommendations. So the conviction grew that in order to make a real and laBtlng improvement in conditions, a permanent organization should be created, the continuation of which would not be dependent upon a temporary wave of reform, nor upon the life' of any man or group of men, but which would go on generation after generation, continuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organization would have, among other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefor*?, as the initial step, in the winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social Hygiene was formed. Its present members are Miss Katharine Bement Davie, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N. Y.; Paul M. Warburg, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co,; Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. As the work develops new members may be added. "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the reformatory, , of a laboratory of social hygiene, under Mies Davis' direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to „gtjudy_fjnm the physical, manlaC social and moral side each person committed to the reformatory. This Btudy will be carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may he required. When the diagnosis is completed, it is hoped that the laboratory will be in position to recommend the treatment most likely to individual, or, if reformation is impossible, to recommend permanent custodial care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the individuals involved, it Is believed ihat 1! us important contributions may be made to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment is successful the principle ' may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, and lead to lines of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than those at present followed•'*.. . That its work might be done intelligently the bureau employed George J. Kneeland to .make a comprehensive survey of vice conditions in New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil in Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. These stodiee will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that based upon aH of them, may be devised a practical plan for dealing with t i p social ovfl. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement saya: "It cannot be too strongly emphasisad that the spirit which dominates the work of the bureau is not sensational or sentimental or hysterical; that it Is not a spirit of criticism of public officials; but that it Is essentially a spirit of constructive suggestion and of deep scientific as well as humane Interest in a great world problem " ' ed or the commission win .kentf ^ wmhurt yon M> fatt. vestlgatora to that «**, W c j i a r g e ^ ;» **» ?<*?*JM ?«? ^ettsy, .the fob* __ __ n «a4« that Saginaw i a t « ^ ^ garerwise, orYpslfs^Ncrmai, aadH ^ 0 0 0 *•** Le*tfing*,tlfb^h two?.!

Evelyn Grayson, Cameron's niece, with whom Clyde Is in love, finds the head of Cameron's portrait nailed to a tree, where it was had been used as a target. Clyde pledges Evelyn to secrecy. Clyde learns that a Chinese boy employed by Philatus Murphy, an artist living nearby, had borrowed a rifle from Camirons' lodgekeepr. Clyde makes an, excuse to call on Murphy and is repulsed. He pretends to be investigating alleged infractions of the game laws and speaks of finding the bowl of an opium pipe under the tr«?e where Cameron's portrait was found. The Chinese boy is found dead next morning. While visiting Cameron in his dressing room.* Nell Owynse mirror is mysteriously shattered. Cameron "becomes seriously ill -as- a result of the shock. The third letter appears mysteriously on Cameron's sick bed. It makes dir*ct threats against the life of Cameron* Clyde tells Cameron the envelope was empty. He tells Evelyn everything and plans to take Cameron on a yacht trip. The yacht picks up a fisherman found drifting helplessly in a boat. He gives the name of Johnson. Cameron disappears from yacht while Clyde's back is turned. A fruitless search is made for a motor boat seen by the captain just before Cameron disappeared. Johnson is allowed to go after being closely questioned. Evelyn takes the letters to an expert in Chinese literature, who pronounces them of Chinese origin. Clyde seeks assistance from a Chinese fellow college student, who recommends him to Yip Sing, most prominent Chinaman in New York. The latter promises to seek information of Cameron among his countrymen. Among Cameron's letters Is found one from one Addison, who speaks of seeing Cameron in Pekin. Cameron had frequently declared to Clyde that he had never been- in China. Clyde calls on Dr. Addison. He learns that Addison and Cameron were at one time intimate friends, but had a falling out over Cameron's denial of having been seen In Pekln by Addison. Clyde goes to meet Yup Sing, sees Johnson, attempts to follow him. falls Into a basement, sprains his ankle and becomes unconscious. Clyde is found by Miss Clement a nilseolnary among the Chinese, He is Kick several days as a result of inhaling oharcosl fumes. Evelyn tells Clyde of a peculiarly acting anesthetic which renders •A person temporarily unconscious. Murphy Is discovered to have mysterious relations with the Chinese. Miss Clement promises to get information about Camtron. CHAPTER XVI.—Continued. It was now my turn to be thoughtful. Evelyn believed 1n the woman's ability to aid. She had said as much to me. And I myself possessed a certain degree of faith in feminine Intuition. Aside from that, though, Miss Clement had jJemonalruteU that-she |4or tho treatment of nei voua diseases, r«- • « ! » " • wielded a certain power in her bailiwick— waa not my watch, at that moment, in my pocket?—and her whbje personality proclaimed r Inherent capacity for accomplishment. ,,'"Very well, Miss Clement," I agreed, "f win wait three day*. It Is now Saturday, November 14« If by this time Tuesday afternoon-we are not, at least, on the track of something tangible, I shall be on my way to Mulberry street." Sunday was with me a day of impatience. I fretted now at confinement, for my ankle was quite strong again, and I was perfectly well inother respects, too. But my physician had set Monday for hay first day out, and he refused to concede even a twenty-four-hour change of plan. But I chafed more even at the inactivity to which I had agreed concerning Cameron than at the confinement. All at once, I had become Imhued. with a necessity tor prompt and strenuous measures. Some awful thing. I knew not what seemed ominously imminent, i*nd remorse tore at me tormentingly. Early Monday, I telephoned Miss Clement for tidings of her progress, but she could only implore me to wait. She bail nothing to report, but she was encouraged. With my hands thus tied diversion was my only refuge, and an accumulation of office work Into which X plunged served. In part at least, this purpose. EVelyn and Mrs. Lancaster had come in from.

And before I had read five lines I came upon-the name of Robert Cameron. If I was to believe this introductory paragraph, my friend was tc Crystal Consolidated what John D. Rockefeller was to Standard Oil, yet in the monthB of our intimacy he had made no reference to this connection; and, though I was thoroughly familiar with the "great glass trust," as it was called, and with the name of its multimillionaire master, strangely enough I had never connected the Cameron I knew with this Cameron, the Captain of Industry. "I am," he had said, in all modesty, "largely interested in a certain line of industrial enterprises." That was all. I suppose I should have known; and yet, "no prophet is without honor, save in his own country." The newspaper article I now read, however, left no room for doubt on, the subject; and, incidentally in a single sentence, revealed the secret of how Cameron had succeeded in escaping that general recognition which is usually the penalty of greatness. "He has never sat for a photograph." But, while this part of the article interested, that which followed startled and perplexed me: "Crystal Consolidated fell to 103 today," it went on, "because of a persistent rumor that Robert Cameron is seriously ill, in a New England sanitarium. The greatest secrecy has been maintained as to his malady and his whereabouts by those who are in a position to know. It has been ascertained, however, that after spending a quiet -ttmmer at his country place, Cragholt, on Long Island sound, near Greenwich, he started on October 21, on his fast steam yacht Sibylla for a cruise along the New England coast. Ten days later the Sibylla returned, but Mr. Caraeron^sMs not on board. "It is known^tbat he has been in ill health for months, and there are those who now declare that he baa sought the seclusion of an institution near Boston, his condition being critical. "Inquiry, today, at his Fifth avenue home in this city, and at his Connecticut country seat, was fruitless. Mr. Cameron was£t neither place, and ihe servanda expressed ignorance concerning his present address. I "At the offices of the Crystal Consolidated Manufacturing company and at those of the missing financier's brokers. Hatch. A Hastings, evasion was the keynote of the answers to all questions. "Whether Mr. Cameron is as ill as is reported, or whether he Is quite robust, the > effect of the gossip on Crystal Consolidated was disastrous. A slump of fifteen pointB in two hours, this afternoon, wiped put many weakly margined accounts, and spread ruin among a number of speculators who fondly. Imagined this lav-defying trust, of which Cameron Is the supporting Atlas, as firmly intrenched as is ihe government itself. "Unless something definite is forthcoming regarding Mr. Cameron's condition before the market opens tomorrow, a panic in Crystal Consolidated is predicted. It closed today at 102¾ bid, 103.asked; the lowest figures recorded this year." It startled me, because it showed that at least a part of the secret we were guarding was a secret no longer; and it perplexed me* because I could not fancy through what channel these somewhat distorted facte had filtered Into.pnbltotty. I had no doubt that the Vfly having been set rolling In this fashion, would gain both in volume «o4 momentum unless some ener* to check i t And yet, what, under the circumstances, could we do? Subterfuge, I knew, would be useless, and Evelyn's faith in Miss Clement, how-[the troth must prove an accelerant* In hsste and with diminished appetite 1 rushed through my dinner, and a moment later was speeding up toe avenue as fast as a taxteap could ear* ry me^with the Cameron mansionmy earlier editions of all thojsy**lng pav|des*inatSoo and a consultation with Evelyn.

I had no notion your uncle was at all active in any corporation. I fancied him a director, probably, in a score or more of companies, but that he was the so-called 'GlasB King/ I never for a moment suspected. Under the circumstances, he must have a private secretary somewhere, who might have been of inestimable aid to us." "He has a private secretary, it seems," she replied, "though even I never knew It until I read It in the News this evening. I am sure he never came to Cragholt. His name is Simms—Howard Simms— and he was interviewed at the Company's office. Didn't you see It?" I confessed that I had missed every evening paper but one. "It was he, I think," she went on, "who, becoming alarmed at Uncle Robert's long silence, mentioned It to some one,, who In turn spread the damaging reports." "Then he is a very incompetent private secretary," I commented, "if not, Indeed, a dangerous one. I shall make a point of seeing Mr. Simms as early as possible tomorrow. Tonight I am going to call on Tony Hatch—I have a nodding acquaintance with him—and assure him that when I last saw Robert Cameron less than a month ago he was in perfect health, and that I am satisfied he is not in any sanitarium or suffering from any mental or physical disorder. If he approves of tbe idea I shall give out a statement to the newspapers, implying that your uncle has gone on a -little journey of which his family are entirely cognizant, and that his return* may be expected almost any day, I think that ought to turn the tide in Wall street tomorrow. Meanwhile^ my dear Evelyn, continue to be 'not at home.'" But neither at his home nor at any of his clubs could I find Mr. Hatch, though I searched for him diligently until long after midnight. Evidently he was intent on evading the sleuth hounds of the press, and had successfully taken to cover. And then, Jpn my way back down the avenue, to the Loyalton, that happened which made all subterfuge, all tact, all dissembling, unnecessary. For on the sidewalk, opposite the cathedral, I found the best of answers to all the questions raised by tbe rumor monjgers—the animate^ refutation of every disturbing waif word. CHAPTER X V I I . Opposite ths Cathedral. Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the morning is fast asleep. There are localities in New York which are more widely awake at that hour than at any other time of day, but the highway of fashion is not one of them; and in the neighborhood of Fiftiefti street, its repose "is, as profound as at any point of its long, undeviatingly straight course. For over an hour I had waited in that sumptuous white marble club edifice of the plutocrats which ostentatiously punctuates the avenue at Sixtieth street, and, tired of sitting, nervous and disappointed, I had chosen to walk down to my rooms, believing that the exercise in the clear, frosty air would serve to counteract, in a measure at least, all three of these vexations. . To the limit pf sight there stretched away a double, converging chain of twin lights marking the curb line for endless blocks, and illuminating the nearer sidewalk and roadway, if not to effulgence, certainly with a clearly defining radiance. Now and then I met • a o.ulc*>tteppjmg pedestrian; usual ly in evening dress with cigar alight; and at more or less brief intervale limousined motors and taxlcabs with gleaming lamps sped by me at top speed. Once a hansom pasted, the sounding jarringly against the night silence. At Fifty-fourth street 1 cut diagonal- ^*i^ - ^ . . ly across the avenue to the west side, ? U i l 5 ? * f u r ? L w ! ! ! K 2 ^ 5 * H « * . eontrnulnr my^ way southward! {absorbed in the problems confronting me, had been for a little quite lost to encodrpassing objects. Then, suddenly tearing lest In my abstraction 1 should pass -the street on which mjM rooms wens located, I aroused myself to get an idea of my location. Across the way the grim facade of the Cathedral rising dark and »1100 as a fortress made an clear. But, on my own side of the areata there had been no such distinguishing mark. The brown stone, dwellings, monotonously {ugly. wttK their high stoops and bsluav traded areas, were no more enlightening than the stone ifestfa* of. the side* walk or the asphhlfof the roadway. Scores of blocks presented practically the same aspect as this. But at with crftical gene I measured one after another of these combinations t was air from intemperance. At closer view, however, I tempered my judgment. The possibility of illness or injury intervened, and I paused Samaritan-like to offer succor. The wayfarer was evidently a man of middle age, if I might judge from the contour of hie back, which was towards me, and I saw at once that he was struggling to keep upon his feet by sheer muscular handhold of the railing's iron uprights, for his knees were bent threateningly and his arms were extended and tense. Until I was cloBe beside him he gave no sign of realizing my presence. Indeed I think it was not until I spoke that he half turned his head towards me, and, for the first time, I got sight of his features. Whether or not I uttered a word, or made a sound, or stood for a long moment silent, I cannot say. I know only that I doubted my eyes and questioned my reason; for, if these were not playing me false, the profile thus revealed to me waB the profile of Robert Cameron. To try to set down in detail just what followed must be an idle effort, with fancy providing the bulk of the ingredients. Surprised, amazed, astounded even, are all too feeble terms to apply to my emotional condition. Dazedlyy I was floundering in what seemed a veritable sea of unreality. When the commonplaces began to readjust themselves, I was standing at the curb, my arm wound supportingly about Cameron's waist and, his arm pressing heavy on my shoulder. Drawing in to us was an empty hansom cab, provided by Providence, and hailed, 1 suppose, by me, though I swear I have no recollection of it. The cabman helped me to lift him in, and at this the pity of his plight smote me, tempering the Joy of having found him, and quickening within me a spirk of angry retaliation against his enemies For the man now at my side was far different from that man who had sat with me on the after deck of the Sibylla, only four weeks ago. He was, Indeed, it seemed to me little more .than the busk of the Cameron I had known. In facial conformation the chsAfe was not so marked, though his expression was pathetically at variance with anything I had ever before seen him wear. The lines of his face were drawn, as wi{h pain, and his eyes were dull to vacancy. He Iplied, REALLY NAMED FOR STATE Miwionippi ~R4ver Stcamerg Originated Cognomen That Has Now Become Universal. sieazily, in a crumpled heap in his corner, like a spineless manikin; and though I plied him eagerly with a flood of questions, he might have been a deaf mute for all the answers he accorded me. Once I thought he shook his head in negation, but I was later forced to conclude that this was involuntary, being caused by the roll of the Cab as one of its wheels encountered a depression in the roadway. Yet In Bplte of his sorriness of pres-' ence and demeanor—In spite too of the tormenting mystery of his return, which was scarcely less baffling than the mystery of his departure^—it was at least a relief to know that he was alive and out of the power of those that were bent upon his harm. Good nursing, coupled with skilful medical attention, had just worked wonders for me, and I was confident that it would do the same for him; and then we should have facts and not theories to aid us In our quest for the culprits, and, eventually, in the administration of justice jo, the guilty. I had given the cabman, the number of the Cameron house and admonished him to make all possible speed; so, the morning, greeted me with becoming imperturbalillty. I recognized him as one of the men from Cragholt, and called him by name. "Stephen," I said, with an effort to disguise the excitement with which my every pulse was throbbing, "your master is outside in a cab. He is very weak and will need assistance. Get another man to aid me, and then awaken Mr. Checkabeedy and Louis. And make haste. No, I can't come in; I'll wait outside." He turned away in obedience io my directions, but I checked him. "And, Stephen," I charged, "no word to any one else, as you value your position; especially no word to Miss Grayson." I marvelled at tho man's preserved unemotion. His "Very good, sir," was uttered with all the stolidity which marks a response to the commonplace; and yet I knew that he was fully conscious of the eventfulness of this late and unlooked-for home-coming. And the footman who joined me a few minutes later was not less well-trained. Together, he and I lifted Cameron from the, hansom and carried him up the broad flight of granite steps, between the massive guarding lions, and placed him in a great chair in the hall, before the wide, sculptured fireplace. And though this would probably prove the moBt exciting topic of the servants' hall for weeka to come, he gave not the smallest sign that he was taking part in other than the usual. Checkabeedy, the butler, however, though no leaf? perfect a servitor, was more privileged; and Louis, volatile as the most characteristic: of his countrymen, collapsed utterly, without effort, apparently, at any restraint whatever. The former's interest was evidenced in a commlseratingly lugubrious visage and a few blunt questions, but the Frenchman wept and sobbed in wordless sympathy. And I had it not in my heart to blame either, for a more pitiful picture than the one presented by the restored Cameron as he sat there in his own spacious ball, gazing with lack-luster eyes at the dead and dying embers on the hearth before him, I hope never to see. The butler, ruddy and rotund, and looking for all the world like a wellfed monk, for he wore a bathrobe of somber hue and his crown was barer than any shaven^ tonsure, stared" fi moment in sad silence. Then, to me, he asked: "£?ut what has happened to Mr. ero'n, sir?" "I wish I cohld tell you, Checkabeedy," was my unguarded reply. "I wish he could tell us himself." "But he is so wasted, sir! And his clothes. I never saw Mr, Cameron la such clothes." It was quite true. They were of what Is galled, I believe, a pepper-andsalt mixture, coarse of texture and illcut, yet not much worn. "He does not recognize us," Checkabeedy went on, "and still he is conscious. May I afik you, sir, where you brought him from?" ' I chose .to Ignore the question, m sudden realization of the neocfsity Of'J caution. "And he has been missing a month, they say, sir. Is that true, Mr. Clyde?" "Missing!" I repeated. "Who says lie has been missing?" "The servants all say so, sir." "Then the servants must get rid of the idea, at once," I said, sharply. "Mr. Cameron has merely been out of town for a while. He went away for his On the Mississippi river in olden days the passenger steamboats went very ornate affairs, vying with each other in garish glory. One owner hit on the idea -of naming his steamboat's cabiuu instead of numbering them. So he named them in honor of the states of the union, each havfng above the door the gfit title of some stute, the big central cabin being called tho "Texas," after the largest .state. Other boat owners took up the idea, and thus the word cabin was gradually alternated by "state" room. For years the best cabin was still known aB the Texas. Then that sobriquet died with the ebbing glory of the old river steamers. But tb» word "Ktateroom" became incorporated into our language, and in time even broke into the dictionary, as doea many another catch phrase. Not one person in a thousand who occupies a stateroom knows the term once meant "a room named for a state." Brightening Flower Pots.

PLUMMET*.) to the storm cloud From early times there has been a belief that certain trees more than others are likely to be struck by lightning. The elder Pliny said: "Lightning never strikes the laurel." This tree was also called bay, and wreaths of Its leaves were worn by ancient rulers both as a symbol of victory and as a protection from the lightning of the gods. Seneca and Plutarch held a similar belief, which may be traced down even to modern times, but the theory as now held includes a number of trees, different in various countries. This belief was so firmly established that such trees as the beech, locust, holly, olive, walnut, birch, elder, mistletoe and llve-for-ever, supposed to be effective in warding off lightning, were placed near dwellings. To this day there are many who still InBist that the beech is never struck, while in parts of the United States the aspen is considered Imjnune from lightning. On the other hand, it was believed that such trees as the oaka, particularly cork oak, had a very bad reputition for attracting lightning, and this belief prevails even now. There is a proverb: ""Avoid the oak, -flee-from-the spruce^ but seek the beech." And also: "Beware the oak, it draws the stroke. Avoid the ash, it courts the flash. Creep under the thorn, 'twill save from harm." Natives of South Africa have said regarding the mopane tree, which 1B often struck, "Lightning hates it;" but they say that the morala tree is never touched. The Portuguese share this belief. There was once a widespread belief in Europe that conifers were almost immune from lightning, but records Yellow Pine, Arizona, Completely Shattered by Lightning. made there showed that conifers rank third in liability to stroke. The persistent popular .belief regarding immunity of some trees and liability of others have given rise to the following theories regarding treat tooit likely to be struck: 1. TaJl jfrrees; Becauta they reach high .toward the electrically charged cloud, arid therefore lessen tha distance with the flash must traverse through the dielectric (air). Such trees are coneelvad to be a part of the earth, extending upward and inviting the stroke. 2. Treat with pointed crowns: Because they invite, to their one apex, a tingle full-pressure flash. Trees with rounded crowns, favor tha diffatfoa ¢1 tha **ttttato»a spaay. a. Treat with pointed leaves: Because static electricity lumps moat easily to and from pointed terminate. 4. Treat with smooth or shiny leaves: Because a smooth surfaoe invitas flashes, while a hairy or woolly surface, presenting a multitude of flat polnta, favors diffusion. I. Treat with deeply grooved bark: | Because bark deeply grooved longitudinally guides tha current to tha ground, aad- because tat moist septaaaaof tha fletnree> ' T T ^ f q m * |aoJatf4;. Jtoetate they are t M only marka for the flash end afeaV'V^aUtaatt^kav?***' ** '' * *'' ''' 1 Treat m bigh groend they are nearest strata. 8. Trees on damp soil: Because the moisture nfakes a good contact between the tree and the earth. 9. Trees deeply rooted: Because the long roets give a better grounding and finish a more direct path to deeper and moister earth strata. 10. Trees with dead branches: Because they present alluring points. 11. Trees whose wood has high electric conductivity: Because the flash will select the path of least resistance. 12. TreeB whose tissues are. composed mostly of longitudinally arranged fibers and other elements: Because this arrangement would favor the transmission of the electric current. 13. Trees rich in starch: Because starches and Bugars are better conductors than OIIB, resins and waxes. But years of careful study and experimenting show that any kind of tree is likely to be struck by lightning. /^ In temperate climates thunderstorms, with lightning, occur most commonly during the summer usually In the afternoon. In the United States they are four or five times as frequent east of the Rocky mountainsxr^est; omitting from consideration parts of Arizona and New Mexico. This is due, as explained later, to the generally mountainous condition of the west. Lightning is most frequent In Florida and Illinpis. In Cuba severe thunderstorms are rrequent, and treeB are often struck and killed. The pine only is reported ignited. Lightning is extremely rare in Alaska, and no forest fireB are known to have resulted from it. It does not follow that the trees most liable to ignition by lightning are the ones most responsible for forest fires. While in general one species may be more inflammable than another, the degree of inflammability varies with the locality and season. The tree most often struck and ignited in the west is the western yellow pine, which grows in open, park-like stands, where the fire hazard is Email. A tree may be set on fire by lightning and burn for days without the flames spreading to other trees or to the ground, and if the latter be free from litter, as is often the case In western yellow pine forests, the chances of the Are spreading are small. It is probable that the majority of forest fires caused by lightning striking trees is due to the presence of dry duff, humus or litter at the base of the tree. Another possibility is that some forest fires are started by lightning striking the ground and igniting the soil cover.

"Lungs inactive, heart insipid, brain torpid," reported Dr. Philetus Derringer, and he tapped his patieyt, Thomas Maltby, three times and made a mental note of a fifty dollar bill for his advice. "Humph!" observed the wealthy old bachelor—"generally laty, eh?" "Worse than laziness, my friend," responded the notable physician gravely.

No more dizzy spells; I canvrun like lasses cake and those flapjacks take me back 30 years and make life worth living." On one side of the resort was a high brick wall.

Then, if you take my advice, get married and borne life will do the rest." Thus it was that two mornings later Thomas Maltby was introduced - to Prof. Septimus Gregg at the doctor's office. He found the latter to be a great, fierce, bearish old fellow. "Tommy Maltby, e a r he spoke. "Well, Tommy; if you're ready, toddle along with me.

The latter, smiling, brisk and happy, hailed him with a healthy handshake that made the physician wince. "It is plain to see that you took the juvenile cure," said the doctor. "Yes, and won a splendid wife and a comfortable home through tt all," declared Thomas. "We live next door to a glorious family with 11 children, and we're all just like kids.

Turkey's decision, as indicated by dispatches from Constantinople, refusing to cede Adrlanople and the Aegean islands, it is believed will lead to the resumption of hostilities within a week. The Balkan allies, after considering the whole situation among themselves decided to wait until the middle of next week for. the answer of the Porte to the joint note of the powers, and if then the reply was not received or was unsatisfactory, to address a communication to the Turkish delegation in the form of a definite ultimatum, allowing Turkey 48 to 72* hours for a final decision. Should Turkey at that time be unable or unwilling to come to the allies terms, the Balkan plenipotentiaries decided that a rupture of the peace conference was inevitable. Sofia, Belgrade and Cettlnje would denounce the armistice and four days later the war would be resumed. All Support Bulgaria* The allies do not admit, or to be more exact, do not see the possibility of such proposals from Turkey or the powers as would allow of a resumption of negotiations! unless the Porte openly declared its readiness to give up . Adrianoplef So far, the instructions of the Bulgarian delegates do not admit of a discussion of a proposal that Turkey retain Jidrlanople, even dismantling the fortifications or conditions of peace leaving the question of Adfianople to be disposed of last. Servia, Monfengro and Greece all support Bulgaria in this attitude. The success of Bulgaria would mean an easier accomplishment of their wishes, especially in the case of Greece which in the conquest ©1 Adrlanople by Bulgaria sees the Greek occupation of Saloniki less likely <to be disputed. In addition, the -allies feel that the time will never be more favorable for tbem to act. TurkAjrmy In~<Fcolv5ftape. It is evident that the Turkish' resources are not in the best of condition, while on the other hand the allies, as the result of their long preparation, are nerved to a high pitch. The seven weeks' armistice has restored their armies and .they have been gathering their forces at ;the .Independent points. Throughout all the Balkan states, according to the plenipotentiaries in London, from the largest towns tto the humblest hamlets -only one -cry goes up: "War to the bitter end—until «our eternal enemy is driven out off JKnrope forever." Judge Robert W. Archbald of the eonunerce court was voted guilty of graft by the United States senate, sitting as &• court of impeachment This means his expulsion from office and that he never again can hold any office of public trust or honor in this nation. There were 13 articles of impeachment sent by tbe house of representatives to the senate to be voted on separately by the senators. It was only necessary that the accused be found guilty on one charge to expel him. Thus when the first vote was announced his fate had been sealed. A two-thirds vote was necessary on each ballot to sustain the charge then being voted on. .Archbald was found guilty on the firBt charge by a vote of 68 to 5. The impeachment proceedings against Judge Archbald were started early In 1912, when complaint was made to the interstate commerce commission, and later to Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft, that Judge Archbald had been concerned in influencing railroads to grant him certain favors in, connection with coal land deals, and the settlement of cases Involving coal properties.

CAVKHLV, Pub, FJNQS^SX. - - - ' YOUNGEST EUROPEAN CITY. Odessa is one of the youngest ot B|uroi>ea'n cities. Only 120 years ago. Hdji Bey, a little Turkish settlement, nestled ou the cliffs that overlook the harbor and dozed und.r the sultan across the Black sea, writes Sydney Adaimson in Harper's Magazine. The long uriu of Hussiu reached out and took it, and planted there, upon the plateau overlooking the bay, the beginners of a commercial city that now holds between 500,000 and 600,000. The revolution in France soon sent refugees scattering over the world, and noble names came to Odessa, and one may read them still on street corners —Daribas, Richelieu and Langeron. Later Englishmen came and brought ships to carry away Russian grain, and then the Crimean war swept across this friendly relation. But the English staid when the war had passed, and then Germany came, md afterward Americans, with reapers and plows and steam traction engines, to help the Russians to. grow more richly the grain that the English and the German ships carried out to the world. Last of all came the Jews, and they cut the business so fine thnt the English starved and gave up; so the business of exporting today is mainly in the hands of the Jews. A few hardy Germans and English are left. The Mercury de France has been making some inquiries as to the respective popularity of the various modern languages in the schools of Europe, and it finds that French is still far ahead of all competitors. It says that in England German finds less and less favor, and that pupils who have at/y optipn in regard to a modern language always choose French. in France, however, since 1870, German has perhaps secured a preponderance over English in the Lycees, says the Westminster Gazettre. In Germany the study of French has progressed to the detriment of English, but the government has intervened in order to develop the teaching of English, which it regards as of great Importance in commercial matters. French 1B now taught in Italy more than ever before, but German Is also gaining some ground, especially in the north. In Spain "F-rench-h** more-pupila. than any other foreign language, and English comes next. The passion for censorship seems to be on the increase It may properly be considered as a by-product of the NEWS FROM THE STATE BASIC 8YSTEM OF T R U N K LINE STATE ROADS TO BE B U I L T BY CONVICT LABOR. B I L L FOR STATE WIDE PROHIBITION COMING UP. The Session of the Legislature Is Now Growing More and More Interesting to the People Each Day. I By Gurd M. Hayes.] William H. Allsweed, national progressive senator from the twentyfourtli district, will be the good roads advocate of the present session. His ideas on the need of good highways are a little advanced of even the average enthusiast on good roads and his scheme for a basic system of trunk line state roads is attracting attention and general commendation. lie has been busy for some time preparing measures to pave the way for a system of Michigan trunk line highways. He has the plan worked out and is now getting bills ready for introduction to put them into execution. His scheme calls for three trunk line highways in the lower peninsula. One of these is the Western Michigan lake shore line project to extend from Niles to Mackinac, another is a central north and south line on the meridian and another across the state line from Detroit to St. Joseph. Another project calls for an upper peninsula road. The idea is to construct this 1,000 miles of state road, using convict albor and drawing upon half the automobile tax to cover the expense. He claims it will cost about $2,000,000 and can be completed in two or three yean. Changes In Compensation. Important changes in the workingmen's compensation act are advocated by Senator Frank James, of Hancock, in a bill introduced in the upper house. The changes have been approved by the labor leaders of the state and are well received by the members of the _legislatur-e-—One post office bill we have the first stages of a censorship of the press. There Is -also a censorship of the moving picture Industry, which will doubtless in time bo extended to the whole theatrical field. Already this is true in England, says Life. What is really needed, however, Is a censorship to suppress the truth. The truth is getting very bold In these days, and unless some measures are taken to curtail her activities, lamentable results will follow. The governor of Michigan urges a sort of church uniform dress for women, plain and inexpensive, which all can wear. So guileless a theory ought to be followed up by a proposal that horse races should be conducted with a view of affording artistic enjoyment by the easy grace of horses, with all betting eliminated. change provides that no compensation shall be paid for an injury which does not incapacitate the employe for more than one week. Under the present law the limit is two weeks. Another provision sets forth that compensation shall begin growing paternalism on the part of on the eighth day after the —ear- government. -In the -newspaper:\ 1 njuryr instead ot 15 day's", as under A great joke was played upon President Hadley at the recent banquet ft* the Harvard football team by th#\Jtat> ton alumni.

Governor Favors Suffragists. Governor Ferris gladdoned the hearts of the suffragists of this state when he declared at the annual meeting of the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association that he was absolutely in favor of their cause and that he would do everything In his power to assist them when the constitutional amendment is submitted to a vote in this state again. The democratic chief executive declared to the women that victory would come to them either at the n « t election or in some rteti* *© ttltfW. prsssia the belief that be possible for him te take the stump In their behalf, owing to pressing duties in the executive office, Governor Ferris informed the delegates that they could call On him for assistance in any other way. Contests AH Settled. All ot the contests in the house and senate reaulted In favor of the candidate! to Whom certificates of election had previously been Issued. However, the battle in the senate between SenatOi James McGregor ,the democratic member from Ypsialntl, and Frank Covert, the defeated republican from Ponttac, nearly reaulted in a fine little row. Many republican stalwarts came here to intercede in Covert's behalf, but the senate held that the intent of the voters was clear despite the apparent irregularities in conducting the election in one precinct, and by a vote of 22 to 9, McGregor was permitted to retain his seat Stenograph le Reports There ie a possibility that the proceedings of the Michigan legislature, including all the debates will be recorded by tteaograthers and that the report will be at complete at the congressional record at Washington, Son. ator Jama* Murths, tbe democratic noor leads* Introduce* a resdhition to make a eomplett report of the session, but Inserted A provlatoato the-effect thai no ^utfttfeerew^ attaches ootid be read tat* the record. State WWe Prohibition. Despite the fact that many members were anxious to avoid It there ie every Indication that the liquor question will play a prominent pert in the deliberations of present legislature. Rep. Dunn of Sanalac county, Btarted the ball rolling when he introduced a concurrent resolution to be submitted to the electors of'Michigan'at the fall election in l e t 4 : providing for state wide prohibition. One of the great features qt tht* Dunn resolution is the unqualified support given the state wide prohibition movement by .the Michigan Anti-Saloon leagued Here tofore the league and the prohibitionists of the state have not worked in harmony, the league leaders claiming that prohibition was sought after, but was not practical. This year the leaders are evidently Inclined to the belief that the time is ripe for success and the league is willing to devote itself to prohibition for the whole state instead of confining its efforts to local option. The method of submitting the matter as an amendment to the constitution is deemed to involve more work but if successful is certain to be more secure. In a long interview J. F. Burke, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league commends the resolution and the state wide prohibition However, it is not expected that the Dunn resolution will have an easy time going through the two houses and it would not be surprising if the measure is killed outright. It is known that there will be strong opposition to it and it is doubtful whether the supporters of the stato wide prohibition movement will be able to muster two thirds of the upper house in its favor. Re-elected U. S. 8enator. United States Senator William Alden Smith has been re-elected by the republicans of Michigan to Berve another term of six years as one of Michigan's representatives in the upper house of congress. Party lines were closely drawn when the legislature ratified the primary vote. Each of the 74 republicans stood firmly for Senator Smith, the 40 democrats rallied to the support of Alfred Lucking, while the 17 national progressives voted as a unit for Theodore Joslin. Lucking's vote was the largest that any democratic candidate for United States senator in Michigan has received in a great many years. As a gejieral rule there is a top heavy republican majority in the legislature and democratic candidates for_ this henor-have stood little^or'no chancer When the final decision was rendered at the joint session Senator Smith was present and addressed the members. It was not so very many years ago that Senator Smith, then "Billy" Smith, was a page in the legislature, TWO WAIFS OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA THE BAROMETEB OF THE « OFFICE, THE**64NNe OF WHICH SH0W&. fESTER* CAWttA* ft •Vfc A . 1 * has been elected by the legislature to serve the people of Michigan as the United States senate. It is generally believed that a Michigan legislature has performed this function for the last time as it is the opinion of a majority of the lawmakers that United States senators will be elected by direct vote, before 1917 when Senator Charles E. Townsend's term expires. Repeal of Telephone Law. Some of the small, Independent telephone companies through the state have already learned that the celebrated Giles law, passed at the session of 1911, was not the peoples' measure it was painted. The public is awakeningvto the fact that some one slipped one over in the Interests of the telephone mergers, and the freezing out of the little companies, and Rep. John Schmidt of Osceola county haa introduced a bill for a repeal of the law. Schmidt says the little companies' have gotten the worst of the deal and he claims that the grange influence that was directed in favor of the Giles •":'- ago ^tf*y.j\ipnds for Ita repeal. Various Bids. Willie Gee of Jamaica is a verlUble "waif of the sea." Down where Willie lives the bathing Is always fine, and he "takes to water like a fish." While the old eteamer the Foxton Hall was plowing along near the, Windward passage Mate Donnelly eBpled a monster cocoa&ut tree, to which a human being was clinging. The being turned out to be a little ten-yearold Jamaican pickaninny, almost starved to death, but clinging to his dog, They had been blown 100 miles out to sea Jn & hurricane. Inequality Found in Parcel Post. Patrons of the parcel post in the northern part of the United States have discovered they are unable in all cases td send packages the full fifty miles prescribed as the extent of the first zone. This is due to the fact that a degree— of- longitude-, -ts considerably shorter in the northern than in the southern part of the country. The phenomenon has led to the complaint that parcel post patrons are being overcharged on first zone distances and to the suspicion that a mis- , . , take was made in the working out of r u n m n g - t h e ^ w ^ - i h e ^ n e m b s ^ of the house. For the second time he ^ho wever, itUh„a»t ^th e var,i«a*t<io n ii.s unavoiud - able and that no Injustice is involved. Power Firms Liable to Fines The state of Michigan, through the state railroad commission, is in a position to pick up about $100,000 a day in penalties from power and light companies in the state. Only 34 had filed tariff schedules with the commission, and all had been ordered to have their rates on file by Jan. 15. There is a penalty of $300 for disobeying this order of the commission and the law states that each day shall be considered to constitute a separate offense. U. S. interested In P. M.'s T r a i n . Postmaster General Hitchcock is g o - ing to take a hand in the proposal by the Pere Marquette railway to discontinue train No. 1, running between Detroit and Saginaw. If the Pere Marquette persists it may forfeit every mall-carrying.con>^>. tract It now has with the United States. The head of the postoffice depart* ment is known to take the stand that it is not proper for railroads, for the sake of escaping a temporary loss, to discontinue the operation of federal mail trains, - : It is further known that Postmaster General Hitchcock is of the opinion that railroads should not be allowed thus to disarrange the mail service on one route without being made to suffer on other routes. Many mail contracts are renewable about this.time and if the train in question, which carries heavy mails, is withdrawn. It is likely to affect negotiations as to other routes in the state. 25,000 Albanians 8laln by Serbs.

During the pastyear hundreds of new postoffices were established, many of them at remote points from the railway, but all forced upon the country on account of the new settlements that have taken place during the year. It ia said, of the Canadian government that in itsimmigration and settlement policy there is nothing left undone to take care of the people and their welfare, whether it be in the new town along a new line of railway or in the remotest hamlet This solicitude and care are not confined to the postoffice, but with every branch that hat to do with, organizing new districts. Bridges have been, built, roads con* structed, the district policed, and a dozen other things have to be done and are done. Is it any wonder that with the splendid land, the' high yielding land, the land that is free to the homesteader or open to purchase at reasonable prices from the railway and land companies, that the Canadian immigration records for 1912 will Bhow arrivals of upwards of 400,000, one-half of this being from the United States. The new literature being sent out by the immigration branch at Ottawa, and its agencies throughout the United States dealt with many of the new and interesting features that will mark the work of that branch for the year 1913.—Advertisement. i UNKIND INFERENCE.

The flatter promises to seek Information of 'Cameron among his countrymen. Among [Cameron's letters is found one from on* Addison, who speaks of seeing Cameron 'In Pekin. Cameron had frequently deiclarea to Clyde that he had never been in -China. Clyde calls on Dr. Addison, CHAPTER Xtll.—Continued. "This isn't anything like beri-bert, 1B It, doctor?" I began. My ideas of the disease I mentioned were of the ihtelest character. I knew, however, jthat it was common in the Orient, and ithither I would lead him. "Oh, no, Mr. Clyde," he answered, jauavely enough, now. "Beri-bert is »<«"*#> E&y,<:?-* <. r.

(I asked, plunging fbr a connection. - ; _^I don't recall that Cameron ever had it," was his response. And then s brow grew thoughtful. "Are you e he told you_tbat_he had; and that . was attacked while in—in Asia?" noted hishesitation over fixing the and wondered. At all events 1 „ad arrested bis interest. Purposely I adopted a tone of uncertainty, , "N-h*no.: X can't say definitely. But II had an impsetwlon that—" And there <X paused. When 1 continued it was rwith the direct question-: "Do you happen to know, doctor, whether, Cameron jwaa ever in Peking? It aeems to me it was—" "I do know that he was in Peking," ^ e Interrupted, almost savagely. "He rat in Peking, in September, 1003. To •be exact, he was there on the fourteenth day of that month. I have reason to know it—& particular reason to know it." After all, how easily the information I craved had come to me! And yet I would have bean glad to hear.the contrary; for Cameron bad assured gne, in all solemnity, that be bard never been in China, and it jarred upon my conception of the man's character to discover that be had tried, to deceive me. I could only conclude that bis * " cs*h& - of individual* and vehicles. I was In a. carriage, myselfr and Cameron was afoot, walking in the opposite direction. As we passed eaah other, he did not seem to see me, though 1 called 0 film loudly; This, however, did noviuTprise in*, for there was an ungodly racket in progress. Instantly, I had the carriage turned about, but before I could overtake him, he was lost in the crowd. I was leaving Peking that afternoon, and so had no chance to look him up. I--wrote" him afterwards and told him of the incident, and how I regretted having to go away without exchanging at least a word with him, To my amazement he not only denied havinS ^ 6 1 1 i n Peking, but in.the Chinese empire at all.. When we met in London, the following spring, and I recalled the matter, asking "Why he had refused to admit what-1: knew to be the truth, he became icily indignant; and that was the beginning of the end. If I had conceded the possibility of mistake on my part, all might'have been well, I suppose; but there was no euch possibility. I had known Cameron for twenty-odd years, and I could not have made an error. I had seen him distinctly, clearly, at midday in the open. It was he beyond all peradventure, and from that time to this I have been unable to conceive why he lied to me, and why he choso to end our friendship rather than admit what was Indubitable fact." -His explanation finished, he reached for a pen, and, as he dipped it in the ink, he added: "I trust you will pardon me, Mr. Clyde. I have detained you." "You have interested me," I assured him. "And that more than I can tell you." Which was quite true; yet I was even more perplexed than interested. To the maze of circumstances there was now added another baffling feature. , tlon he had written, v "wt J~~ Ji tw_ TVL»*M mi I sat — - - 1 "After m e f l ^ ^ f * b ^ ^ * t b * D ? * W * *~* directed, wl$*r * *•*•*• *• *** * * • % sional manner, "ft yen oa *•* * • • yourself much better at the end of a week, come in again."

"Yea," I told her, "it came in my morning's mail. Murphy is still at Cos Cob. lie didn't leave his bungalow all day yesterday, and he had no callers." "I'm crazy to know what you learn tonight from Yup Sing," she went on, eagerly. "Oh, how I do hope it will give us some hint! It seCma terrible tp think of Upcle RobeiV in^tbe hands of those unconscionable 'Chinamen. And, Philip, don't you think you had better take some ono with you? I suppose Mr. Yup is to be trusted, but at the same time, you must remember you. are going into the enemy's camp, and you should be careful." But I laughed at the notion of taking a body-guard. "I'm to meet him at nine o'clock," I told her, "in a public restaurant. Besides, there'll bey a crowd* of those 'Seeing New York' people down there about that time, and Chinatown will be on its best behavior. So never fear, little girl. Do you want";me to telephone you when I get uptown? You know I'm going to stop tonight at my rooms in the Loyalton." "Of course I want you to telephone me," she returned, emphatically. "It shouldn't take you very long to hear what Mr. Yup has to tell, should it? I shall be expecting you to call me up between ten and half-past, or by eleven at the latest; so don't dare to go for supper first." "As if I could think of supper," I said, looking at her in a way I fwiL /'when I might be hearing your voice!" Could I have foreseen what tbe night was to bring forth I certaialy should have discouraged her waiting, for my message. But the power of provision is given to few of us, and of those few I am not one. Assuredly I had no misgivings as, after dining at the University club stepped. Intn an <kKV CHAPTER XIV.

She bad been in no mood to wait any longer4han was absolutely necessary for tidings of my visit to Br. Addison; and, moreover, she had news of her own which she was anxious to convey to me. I have often wondered why it is Chat the I-told-you-so passion is Inherent in all woxnftn. There are those who manage to control it with admirable success under average circumstances, but soooner or later, even the most courageous battlers against this maternal heritage succumb, and indulge in a sort of disguised orgy of reproach. Evelyn might have told toe, for instance, that Captain MacLeod, after careful investigation, bad been unable to discover either hair or hide of Peter Johnson in Gloucester or elsewhere, and stopped there.

And was not 1 that night the guest of one of its most honored dtisens? What, there-^ fore, had I to fear? . On the contrary, as we turned from the Bowery into that little semicircular thoroughfare which is perhaps the most characteristic of Chinatown's three principal streets, I was pleasantly interested. This was quite a different place from that which I had visited the afternoon before. Then, a sort of brooding quiet reigned over what was so ordinary as to be scarcely distinctive; for that part of Mott street on which the Yup Sing establishment is located, I have since learned, is merely one of the gates of the iee into the" comparatively glowing radios of the street lamp opposite. I taw then that it was a man, thin to emaciation, round-shouldered, and crooked limbed. Whether some one jostled him, or a voice from the roadway startled him, I don't know. But for some reaaoa be turned his head sud4«s3r, and the lfght from the lamp foefl IW itfOtt a face, stubble-bearded, deep4toed^mdTe»«ll€nt, the jace not_ ot a Chinaman but of a white man; * tafce fhto which I had looked but twice, and then but for a brief moment; yet a face as indelibly nxid in my 'memory as were the grim fronts of the buildings now behind it—the face of Peter Johnson, tho pretended castaway. ter I should bo set upon, was nervous torment so hideous that in sheer despeitttlon I plucked my match box from my pocket, drew forth a match and straek it to a blaze. As It flared forth, routing the shadows in disorderly, if but temporary, retreat, I made quick searching survey of my dungeon. To my amazement I was apparently quite alone. Relieved, in a measure at least, I employed another match and still an- )ther, hobbling painfully about the rimy, low-oeiled basement, in diligent inspection. My first thought was that rohnson was In hiding, and having lo- :ated me by my own lighted matches, waited now only an opportunity to throw himself upon me from behind. But I very soon discovered that he had fled. Evidently he had retraced is steps up the rude ladder to the street, closing the doors after him to |check my further pursuit. The place into which I had followed liii was evidently a Chinese candy lanufactory and cake bakery. To the light of the entrance were rows of ^helves containing Jars of what 1 [ecognized as sweetmeats peculiar to is celestial. In a large bowl on a ^ough table or counter was the granutted flour with which these confec- I;ons are invariably powdered; und [ere, too, were boxes of roucd, jumbleike eakeB. I saw now that the apace Ipon which I had fallen was so restricted that I wondered how it was osBible for my quarry to have reaclithe steps and renscerided without >uching me or at least acquainting ie with hlB movement. And I maraled, too, that twisting my ankle as I d, 1 bad not plunged at a slant and ruck my head upon one or another the crowding tables and boxes with bleb Hie cramped basement was fur- Lsbed. My third match disclosed a narrow Dor in the broad partition at the rear, [id fancying thut perhaps the elusive eter Johnaon had escaped by that ieans while I was getting to my feet, [lost no time In seeking to investigate [hat was beyond. I waB somewhat surrised to find the door unfastened. Kice open, It revealed a Bmaller and \ore crowded room, warm and fetid, ^to which were packed no less than ilf a dosen barrels of raw and cook- |l peanuts, arranged about a low ?ve oc which a pcanut-fllled cauldron was slowly steaming. Curiously interesting as all this Would have been under ordinary circumstances, I experienced only a Burprised relief, for with my injured ankle 1 was in no fettle to cope with even the weakest adversary. Indeed, now that this easement was afforded me, my sprain suddenly asserted Itself with renewed exacerbation, sharp twin&es of pain shooting to my knee FARMER'S WIFE ALMOST A WRECK Restored to Health by Lydia £.

For a minute I lay as I had fallen, prone and motionless; and in that space I realized the foolhardtneoi of my whole course of action. My very intrepidity had contributed to disaster.

The sMMsnsa of the moment war a hotly-contested race. Gradually, now that my weight was removed, the pain lessened, and a sense of comfort ensued. Content ment enfolded me, which, if I thought of it at all, I attributed, I suppose, to the reaction from the agony which I had Just been suffering. I remember thinking that I would rest a few minutes and then take my departure as I had entered, for I realized that cellar doors are fastened only from within, and that there could, therefore, be no impediment to my going when 1 chose. I.distinctly recall that I was conscious of a crrtain strange incongruity of situation, but could hardly comprehend in Just what the incongruity con. srsted. I knew only that 1 ftlt pleasantly warm and drowsy; and my sprained ankle had ceased altogether to pain or annoy. And then, I was sailing in an open boat In midoceau, and Peter Johnson, in oilskins, sat at the helm, with a saturainatoer on bis fecf, and tugged at etlef'Intervals, always longer and what satis 11 to be the i _ had become wrapped throat and chest and which, by degrees, was crushing my windpipe and lungs, so that my breath came only in sharp, shuddering, aching gasps.

Over 5 0 0 Samples of Handsome Spring and Summer Patterns to Choose From. Represented By Parcels Post Will Help TiM Local Merchant f Rlgltlj Used W. W. BARNARD The new parcel post law has been viewed with a great deal of misgiving by retail merchants everywhere. However, it should give them new opportunities of which they have had little conception. It improves their position as respects distant mail or der houses. A mail order house 200 to 500 miles away must p*»y 62 cents to get a ten pound parse mailed, The local merchant serving the same article to a 50 mile territory, can get the same thing carried for 32 cents. He can send it for local delivery, including such rural routes as may start at the come postoffice for 14 cents. A mail order house over 1,000 mile* away must pay 91 cents to get such a parcel mailed. It should be possible for the local merchauta to develop % good trade in the outlying country for material to be delivered by the parcel post. The possibilities for the development of t,hi« business are unlimited and in the outlying country around this city, there is thus a great potential trade waiting for someone to get it.

Since that momentous and epochmaking event nations have risen to _ mighty power, only to go down to •decay and oblivion. Unpeopled plains have been converted into hives of induHtry, and hives of industry have reverted back to unpeopled plains. •New lands have -been discovered and peopled and new seas have been navigated and charted. Everywhere progress has changed the physical condition of the people. Everywhere progress has changed the historical and geographical importance of na- Afcma and countries. Here, alone, in the Mount Btatl Valley, where the nation that gave us the Savior first sprang into prominence, progress has stood still. Surrounded by the peaks ot the "Forty Martyrs," all is hushed and still on the plain where once the hum of thousands of voices was heard, and Where the valley rang with the resounding march of the hosts of Israel &&***• *K ••SM OD the peak of Ras-es-Safsafeh, the cross, the symbol of Christianity, has been planted on the very •pot upon which Mo3es, the great law giver and leader of the Jews, stood and gave to his people itfc» ten commandments, the basis of all religious (beliefs and the foundation of all law, moral and cIvIL Now unpeopled and deserted, the very loaesomeneflB of the place is awe-inspiring, and Ihe "silence of the tomb" is not more impressive tibeei tfre "veil of silence" that envelops Ras-cs- BafcaFeh and its surroundings. T%e mount on which God is said to have revealed himself to Moses is situated in the southern half of the so-called peninsula of Sinai, projecting into the northern extremity of the Red sea, between the Gulf of Suez on the west and the Golf of Akabah on the east, This park of the peninsula consists of a mass of granite and VOfpftyry mountains which may be divided Into yfase groups, a northwestern, reaching in Jebel Ceibal a height of 6,712 feet; a central, includi n g Jebel Musa (Mount of Moses). 7,363 feet.

Ad&pvsi^G&iTri^&uyG^ Loja the traveler who for days has been wearied by the sight of nothing else but they monotonous blue of the burning sky and the dreary desert all about him is exhilarated, pleased and rested by the night of those beautiful cypress trees with their cool, dark foliage down in the wadi—the Arabic name for hollow or valley. One can scarcely imagine anything more dreary than the valley where these trees raise their heads above the rock-bound hollow in the desert. They stand in all their majesty in the gardens of the monastery of the Sinaitic monks on St. Catherine, one of the mountains of the range called the "Forty Martyrs," and great pride is taken by these men of Ood in these trees, which for a thousand years . have broken the monotony of the desert waste and have cast their welcome shade wherein the weary traveler and the travel-stained caravan may rest and take shelter. For more than a year the Israelites were encamped in the valley of Sinai when they again took up their wanderings in search of the promised land. Through Asia Minor they proceeded to the land of Canaan, their great leader, Moses, dying as they came in sight of the country which God had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One of the most Important places in Asia Minor, on the road from Constantinople to Konia, Is the ancient town of Aflum Kara-HisBar, whose extraordinary citadel, rising 800 feet in its, very center, was the Byzantine fortress of Aeroenas. where in 730 A. D, the Arabs, under the leadership of Sid el Battel el Qhazl, were defeated by the Turks in its very shadow. To get a view of this mogt picturesque town a climb up the stairway cut in the rock of the citadel brings one to the very summit where there still remain the mediaeval Turkish fortifications >• Like all other towns in Asia Minor, Aflum Kara-Hissar Is built of mud bricks. Its streets run in every dfrection of the compass. Although the language spoken there is Turkish, there is a large Armenian population. It fa as dirty a place as one can imagine. Overrun with halfstarved, howling doga in the day, the night is made hideous by their mad attempts to clean up the refuse thrown in the streets. It is a good place to be avoided by the fastidious. The town boa8t3 of a fine basaar, churches for the Armenians and mopques for the Turks, as well as schools for both classes, The Armenians have made a commendable effort to make their part of the town Inhabitable and sanitary. The story of the birth and infancy of the founder and first legislator of the Israelite nation Is one of the treasured gems of Hebrew literature He was of the tribe of Levi, -and k his mother. Jochebed (his father's name' wae Amrantt. hid him three months in defiance of the edict of Pharaoh, who, to prevent the growth of his Hebrew slave population, had ordered all thetr inale children to be put to, death at birth. At* Mhe> danger of discovery became great the fnfant was placed in an ark on the Nile, was found and; adopted by the daughter of, Pbamoa, and was trbught Up aa #n Egyptian trlncf- Bat ate heart waa wit* alt enslaved brethren, aad his slaying of one of their oppressors necessitated his flight to Midian, where he received the divine call to be the deliverer of his people from' Egypt. After considerable trouble he led them forth, crossed the Red sea, in which the pursuing Egyptians were drowned, and then, during a forty years' residence in the deBert, organized the religious and social polity of the nation. Moses stands out as a sublime and unique figure, without whom neither Judaism, Mohammedanism, nor Christianity could have been what they are. BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN W I F E . Where the Hunter Shot Her Is Now Called Bear's House. Along one of the branches of the Cheyenne river in South Dakota there stands a bill called Matoti, or Bear's House. Tradition tells this Indian legend about it: Once upon a time an Indian hunter was out on the chase. He wandered for many a day through forest and plain, over.hill and dale, till he finally came to a spot, where Bear's House now is. Here he hunted for a while until one day he met a beautiful Indian woman. As soon as he saw her he wanted to marry her. Long and hard was the wooing, for the Indian woman was unwilling to marry the stranger. At last she consented, but she made the stranger promise that he would never in the future hunt or kill the hear. This animal waa her totem, sacred to her and an object of her worship. The hunter falthfuly promised to obey her wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave the bear unharmed. Then they were married and lived on in happiness and contentment for many a day. Once it happened that the hunter started on the chase. Early he went and roamed all through the neighboring forest without killing a single ihJng. At lastiae became weary and tired.from lhe chase and resolved to return to his wigwam. Aa he wae approaching his home he saw In the dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form of a huge bear making straight for the wigwam. "Now my wife will be lost." he thought, "for if the bear reachea there before me he wilt surely kill her." Doubt at first stayed hia hand, for he remembered his marriage vow. But fear and anxiety overcame hia doubts. He raised hie bow to his shoulder and aimed at .the animal. One arrow sent straight to the heart laid the animal low. When the Indian came near he saw instead of the bear the lifeless form of his wife. The Mil where they lived is still called the Bear's House, or Matoti Hill. i . "*V Not for Publication.

The very thought of the hospital operating table and iha surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder. It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stags where an operation is the only resource, but thousands c£ women have avoided the- necessity of an operation by takirg Lydia E.

Not so, however, with the members of the house. Of such a progressive nature during the last regular and special sessions that it was willing to push through any sort of a, measure, the house attracted considerable attention for its willingness to act, but this year it i3 apparent that some of the old time leaders are bucking over the traceB. Already some of the progressive republicans in the house are complaining that the leaders of the G. O. P. majority are not acting for the best interests of the party and the people of the state, and the whole trouble has apparently arisen over the adoption of the resolution introduced by Rep. Farmer, the democratic leader, that all recounts shall be discontinued and no action taken. Rep. D. G. F. Warner, who has been an avowed and open supporter of the liquor interests in the house for several years, aided the democratic leader in the passage of the resolution. Every democrat, a number of progressives whoso seats were to have been contested, and several republicans, supported the resolution. The republicans who were anxious to have some of the districts recounted allege that it was a move on the part of the liquor interests. This statement has apparently caused a fine little split in the ranks of the republicans in the low.er house and there is no telling to what lengths the controversy may be carried. Calmer heads over in the senate are already urging the recalcitrant members of the house to bury the hatchet and assist in putting through some good legislation. Shipments of Live Stock. Rep. Dunn, of Sanilac, has prepared a bill compelling railways to give live stock precedence over ordinary freight A movement ha3 been started in Michigan and surrounding states by live stock buyers and shippers, which is based on the fact that the railways have made stock shipments feel the brunt of the delays. The bill establishes a minimum rate of speed for stock shipments of say 15 miles per hour while in Michigan territory, Shippers claim the railroads made it a business to hold up stook in prder to add feeding charges and then only furnish feed enough for a tenth of the number shipped. State Tax Commlsslowo. If the senate affirms the appointments of Governor Ferris the democrats will control the state tax commission as the chief executive has named Thomas Kearney, of Ann Arbor and. Orlando, F» Barnes, of Roscomnlon to succeed Thomas D. White and W. B. Mershoa,—Barnes -has twice been the democratic candidate for land commissioner and a number of year* ago was democratic mayor of the city of Lansing. Kearney has long been a prominent democrat in Washtenaw county. Free Text Books. There Is considerable opposition already being manifested againBt the bills provid4ng for free text books and uniform text books. One prominent member of the legislature says that If the present law was applied there would be no demand for free text books, as the law specifically provides that school districts can purchase books at wholesale and either sell or give them away to school children.

During the two years that he occupied the executive chair Osbt>rn never visited the apartments of any of the state's elective officers and when hie presence was required at a meeting of the board of state auditors, the meeting was held in the executive office. "I shall visit all of the state departments, as I believe that It is'the duty of the chief executive to be on good terms with the men who are transacting the state's business," said Ferris. "I shall visit the legislature sometimes. I do not think that it is beneath the dignity of a governor to call upon the lawmaking body of the state. Even though I might want to stay away, r am sure that my curiosity would get the better of me and I would visit both the house and senate." Per Hospitals, Ete. If the bill introduced by Rep.

It was anronnced at Jackson prison recently that in the future all prisoners parried will be ordered to return to the t on nties, from which they were sentenced.

But, with his papers under one arm, his crutch resting beneath the other and an empty trousers leg dangling in the breeze, Billy, with hfe companions, sought selfpreservation. D lane, for the surefooted was none too good walking, and a treacherous spot found Billy in his misfortune and brought him heavily tothe ground, his papers in an untidy pile beside him an.d the crutch quitebeyond his reach. The corners of his mouth drooped ever so little as he looked up from; bis uncomfortable position and beheld the officer towering above him. "Well, my lad, you seem to be the one to go along with me.

But the sergeant detailed me especially to stop this crap shooting. Me says' it can't go on." The policeman spoke not unkindly, but Billy, from his seat of earth, heard, and knew that a plea for release would be wasted, "Here's your crutch, my boy. Come -on " ' "Aw. let him off, can't yer?" Billy and the policeman wheeled about at this unexpected Interference from the rear. There, crawling from beneath an empty barrel set forth by one of the many restaurants along the lane, bis face and hair generously streaked with a covering of flour taken on In his place of refuge, came a boy not much larger than Billy himself— one of the circle of former "crap shooters."

Look about as you walk along the street and see how many children you Ran count chasing after or riding on the endB of wi^ons in the streets. The odds are heavy that you canuot fall to Bee such a bight every time you take the trouble to look Everybody sees the sight and nobody does anything about it. Would you believe that it is just as much against the law for a child to catch behind as it is for a stranger from out of town to stop his vehicle within ten feet of a hydrant. Let the stranger try It on and he soon finds himself in the clutches of the law, says the Hartford Courant But let a child try it on and there he is. Now the inevitable result of thiB utter neglect to enforce a law that makes tor safety is simply to invite peril. Pretty soon, possibly on another page of the paper in which this article appears, there will be an account of another automobile accident. Some excitable observers will likely call it an automobile outrage. It will be the story of how an automobile ran over a child that had been playing catch behind andshad jumped off the vehicle It was stealing a ride on. The one way to prevent these killings for which drivers are not to blame is to impress on the children and their parents that this business, which the law forbids, must stop. i l*$f{> *L- V fmS / ' * ' • A baby never laughs, an aged person very rarely. But the smile, like the pleasures of the palate, according to Brlllat Savarin. belongs to all the seven ages of man and with normal persons it is universal. Imagine a never- smiling human being, and you must assume that he is either a physical or a psychological eccentricity, or both. The Greenpolnt youngster who shot himself in Central park, Manhattan, and died a few hours later, is said to have been known among his schoolmates as "the boy that never smiled." He could work, he could study, he could think. He appears not to have been without affection. Yet suicide at the age of sixteen was the climax of a tort of abnormality which science never had #an opportunity to analyze or classify. The child that never smiles demands scientific attention. In this rather Jumbled up universe occasions for smiling are everywhere. Breaks in symmetry are everywhere. An eye that does not see, a mind that does not comprehend such breaks, is unusual enough to be made a study of for the TQlfinaTe benefitoTtherest of the race. Napoleon was the greatest egotist of history. He was not disposed to give credit Unduly to other people. Vet he wrote of his mother: "It is to ray mother, to her good principles, that I owe my succerrs and all I have that is worth while. I do not hesitate to aay that the future of the child depends on the mother." All through life he ordered his brothers and sisters around, and paid slight heed to rela tives of any sort. Yet he always treated his mother with respect, and she in her turn never lost her head, bu' thriftily laid aside resources for the days of adversity which she saw were bound to come. This influence of mothers is inevitable, sayB the Kansas City Star. The father is away from home a large share of the time. It Is to the mother that the child turns. She it his closest companion for the first few years of his life. In all the period when his habits are forming he is constantly in association with her.

Until Michigan has a "blue sky" law, the Northern Development Co. or any similar organization will not be able to obtain leases from the public domain commission of state landB to be used for oil prospecting. Secretary of State Martindale has refused to sign the leaseB. He said that he with other members of the commission had discovered that practically the same officers composing the present corporation seeking leases had recently issued a prospectus in which stock was offered for sale in a similar company and in his opinion the only value there was to the stock was based on certain leases the company has acquired. „:, The commission was afraid that if granted the leases the development company, now^cxpitatized~ar~tttr,00u7" would proceed to Increase its capitalization and other stock for sale, the value based solely on the leaseB obtained from the state. This is what the domain commission has been trying to avert, and at the last minute made the discovery that led to refusing the leaseB. Despite reports to the contrary, members of the public domain commission have refused to annex their signatures to leases giving the development company the right to prospect for oil on 135,000 acres of state land in several counties in the state. It is astonishing how prosperous we jahould be if there were no waste and flosses. We are now told that cattle ticks cost the country 9100,000,000 a Year. If we remember aright, the de- .partment ot agriculture has told us that rats coat us at much as that, and ^several other varieties of vermin and 'injurious Insects rob its of as much or larger sums.

Battle Creek May Buy Coal t< The city council of Battle has sent Aid. W. N. Dibble, a former coal dealer, to Buffalo* to Inspect coal offered by the Scully company, of Detroit, at $6.90 (egg) and $7.15 (chestnut), a ton, delivered in Battle Creek. If the coal is satisfactory, Dibble has full authority to buy 25 carloads, for Immediate shipment, and the city will enter into the coal busines. The council was not unanimous in sending Dibble. The coal dealers, who are selling at $8.75 and $9, don't like the innovation. When the city recently asked them to explain why they had to charge such prices, they balked. This balking did more to influence the aldermen to buy and sell coal than any of the arguments that had been presented. Mrs. Catherine Burshaw, aged 93, was burned to death in a Are which destroyed her home in Petoskey.

"Mr Clyde," he said, wtth no more amotion than he might have exhibited had I told him I wished him to sell for me a Chinese bronze on commission, "Mr. Clvde, I do not see, exactly, why you come to me."

You must glVe the names and the places and the dates.** r -did give him the names and the places and the dates. Mow Chee had toW toe I could rely upon him, Implicitly, and I told him all, without reservation. I gave him even the letter, the only one of the three that remained to us—the last letter in which the final threat was made. At I look back on it, now, I cannot understand why I did this.. It was the only piece of proof, the only clue left And yet, when he asked to Keep it for a little, I consented without so much as a demur. I ,ajgued, I suppose, that he was a reputable merchant, with an established business, and that, therefore, treachery on his part was not to be considered. "And your friend," he said, aB he folded the paper, "was never In China?" '«N*v*r," I affirmed., "How do. you know?" "He has told me so." It was neither a smile nor a sneer which floated for just a moment across those sphinx-like feature*. It was a look of pitying tolerance, a patronizing gleam, merely, from the small, deeptat, almond eyes.

CO., tention was on the swiftly moving brush of the little Chinese maid, as, deftly handled, it now blocked out with bold black strokes a silhouette upon the piece of rice paper before her—a familiar silhouette of a short, clumsy curved boat with broad lugsail. CHAPTER X l i . "We Were in Peking Together." At my evening conference with Evelyn Grayson, reviewing the day's events, I dwelt with some insistence upon the singularity of that episode at Yup Sing's. "It was Impressively significant," I maintained, "even if it was only a coincidence. Incidentally it convinced me .that nothing escaped Mr. Yup's observation. I had no intention of referring to my discovery. I chose rather to have him think I had not noticed the figure the child was painting. But my choice was not to be gratified. He knew that I had seen and noticed it; and so, to relieve the situation, he frankly directed my attention to the symbol, explaining that what I had regarded as mysterious was most commonplace. 'It is one of the first things that Chinese babies learn to draw,' he went on, 'it is like the pothook and hanger of the American primary schools. First they draw houses, then ships, then men; and the houses, the ships and the men are all alike, just as are your A's, your B's, and your C's. 'And when signed to a letter,' I queried, 'what does your ship stand for?' He shrugged his lean shoulders in a manner almost Gallic. "Who shall say?' he returned." "And do you believe the pothook and hanger explanation?" Evelyn asked, pointedly. It was her way to probe at once to the heart of a matter. "I can't say that I am altogether convinced," I answered, non-committally. 'In spite of Mow's enthusiastic encomium, I was not very favorably impressed by Yup Sing. His wall of reserve is too high and too thick, It is neither scalable nor penetrable. And yet he stands' well; I believe, in the community." We sat in the music room, where a fire of drift wood wove a woof of "green nrrd violet strands through the red warp of the blaze, for the weather had turned chill. Evelyn wore a clinging gown of black panne velvet, with purple orchids at her waist. It had a wonderfully mature Effect for one so young as she, but it was not unbecoming. Indeed it effectively accentuated the deep ,raw gold tints of her hair and added to the transparency of her unwonted pallor. I was marvelling once agfiin over her outwardly brave upbearing in spite of the constant anxiety of which, pallid cheeks were the only visible sign, when she said: "I was sure we should hear from Captain MacLeod today." "He has probably met vlth rough weather," I consoled. "It isn't, child's play rounding Point Judith 11 this season, you know." "Rough weather or not," she insisted, "he must have reached Gloucester by now. And if he found I eter Johnson, or if he didn't, he was to telephone* you remember." "Gloucester Is something of a place," I explained ,^ adopting the vernacular. "It includes no less than eight villages and five thousand men are engaged there in the fishing Industry. MacLeod can't be expected to learn in five minutes whether a man named Peter Johnson is one of the five thousand." "But the whole community would know if one of their number had such an experience as he Just passed through." And for this argument I had no answer ready. Fortunately, however, none was required of me, for at that moment steps were audible crossing the hall, and when our ayes turned downward tb*y encountered the dapper figure of Louis, Cameron's French valet, baiting respectfully on the threshold. "Mademoiselle." he said, bowing, "mais void das lettres qui Jal trouve." And we saw, then, that he carried a tin despatch bos. Evelyn directed him to place it upon the table by whloh she sat. It seemed that she had" not given over the Idea that the letters for which we had searched so diligently on Sunday were somewhere In the house, and had directed Louis to bring to her anything in the way of writing that r*st/oa Doyarg street. ,<€*»• **> nine he could lay hi* tends upon. ft <•* •:/•• # / 4. /From my pocket Ldfvw on* tb«<*opy of the afternoon paper, and pointed to ^ the artiets^b<mtth»CiUiiUal and t*>* j —Da ye* suppose that omaeVaav*T' bearing on thsj '4" matterr • ' .

I verily believe he would willingly have suffered martyrdom to serve her. As he withdrew we fell avidly upon the contents of the box, yet with small hope of finding what we sought; tor the letters it contained were all, apparently, of distant date; letters, for the most part, of a private, personal nature, carefully assorted, and arranged in red-taped or elastic-banded bundles. It was no more Idle curiosity which impelled us to read many of thorn. We were in a position which may best be described as anomalous, Though Cameron was my dearest friend 1 knew little of his life prior to our meeting, and Evelyn, his niece and ward, was scarcely less uninformed than myself. In the letters just brought to light there might, we decided, be found some clue of incalculable service in the task now before us. And so we untied the tapes and stripped off the bands and set ourselves to careful painstaking examination. Seldom have I engaged in a labor so deadly uninteresting at one moment and so keenly engrossing at the next. There was correspondence here which meant nothing to us whatever, and there was correspondence which threw a search-light upon portions of Cameron's career, baring good deeds and follies alike, without discrimination. It was only natural, I suppose, that we should dig up a romance—a gem of luster shining amidst dun, sordid surroundings. Evelyn and I came upon two of its facets, simultaneously, and paused,in our work to question its disposal.'It seemed to us a holy thing, too sacred for a strange touch, and, even at the risk of passing over what might prove our one agent of revelation, we folded it away again with a sense of guilt at having dared to lift even the corner of the veil. For a full hour I had scanned one letter after another in absorhed in" tentness. but with small profit. Evelyn, across the table, had been quite as busy. Rarely had we interrupted our employment, with exchange of words. But now the writing which I HterdTxrovoked-excrftmatteft. "Addison!" I cried, so sharply exiting the silence that the girl started. "Addison! Rid you ever hear of him?" She gestured a negative. "Not that I remember," she qualified. "Why?" "Because we must find him," I declared, a little excitedly, I imagine; for the letter seemed wonderfully important. Instantly she was all alert. "What is it?" she asked, springing up and coming to my side. "What have you found?" "Look!" I commanded, the sheet of paver *.n one upraised hand, a finger of nr* other hand pointing to a passage. "Look! In 1903, your uncle Robert was In Peking; and yet he gave me his word that he had never visited China." Resting an arm on my shoulder and bending forward she read for herself: "Jdst to think! We were in Peking together and neither of us was aware of It until too late! What a foregathering we missed! Even five minutes' chat would have been something; but I no sooner saw you, than the crowd on Legation street swallowed you up." "Have you read it all?" "Not to the end," I told her, "Just the beginning and the signature. Come," I added, "we'll read it from first to last, together." It was written from Cairo, and bore date of December 7, 1903.

"Yon will probably be surprised to learn that once yon and I passed each other as ships in the night, save only that we did not even speak each other In passing," he went on. "It was my last day—indeed my last hour—in northern China. Otherwise I should have mad* search for you. Just to think! W« were In Peking together, and neither of us wae aware of it until too late.

When Louis came, however, be knew nothing. lie had never heard of a Mr. Addison or of a Mr. Addison Something, in all the three years and eight months of his service with Mr. Cameron. So Evelyn thanked him once more in her own gracious way and we continued ouzvwork, directing our efforts especially now to unearthing further Addison-signcd letters which might prove enlightening. "Why hhould Fnclo Robert tell you he had nrver been in China?" Evelyn asked me, looking up suddenly and dropping to lur lap the letter she was at that moment examining. "I can't understand that." "Nor I," I admitted. "If I had asked him out of idle curiosity he would have been jusMlled perhaps in misleading me; but he must have known that it was in his interest I made the inquiry." For just a moment she sat in silence, her narrowed gaze on the glowing embers in the fireplace. Then she turned to me again. "Do you think. Philip, it was bocause he iiad something to hide?" she asked, seriously. "Something lie was ashamed of and feared might become known?" Instantly I sprang to my friend's defense. "No," I assured her, with emphasis. "No, Evelyn. Whatever his molive was, I am satisfied it-had no dishonorable basis. If he told mo a deliberate falsehood it was not to spare himBelt'. Possibly—yes, probably, it was to shield others." I was perfectly sincere in this, but even had I believed otherwise I should have been tempted to prevarication could I have foreseen my reward. Hefore 1 quite realized her purpose Evelyn was out of her chair, had slipped over behind me, and encircling my •-neck with her arms, had pressed her llpfr-sqftly to my check.

It was a hock of addresses, and the valet, nervously turning the pages, put his finger upon the name of Horatio Addison, M. IX, with the air of one who had discovered buried treasure. I am Inclined to think that we were ourselves almost as demonstratively elated'as he, for though we could not be sure that this was Cameron's correspondent, the odds certainly favored that conclusion; and unless' the physician had died or moved away since the entry was made, we were now in possession of his address, which chanced to be an apartment house on Madison avenue^that I knew to be given over entirely to doctors' oflice*. v - This time Evelyn assured Louis that he was not merely a* "good boy" but as Incomparable assistant, and the richness of the reward came nign to totally wrecking his composure, for, a* he started to back from the room, 1 detected unmistakable tears glistening on bis lashes. ^.

"Let's play the game ot 'Truth,'" said Marjory, as she poured the coffee from her new percolator. "I thought this society was formed for the purpose of discussing topics of the day and not for frivolous pursuits," declared the lofty browed, spectacled Imogene. "Well, it was," put in Amy, "but we needn't be intelligent every second of every meeting." "Perfectly right," said Inez. "We've sifted the tariff question, immigration, municipal ownership and the child's welfare this afternoon. If we argue any more there won't he anything left for next week's meeting." "I don't know how to play 'Truth/ I never heard of such a game in Bucyrus," said Bernice, the visiting girl. "Well, all you do is Just to tell every girl here exactly what you think of her," explained Edith. "You must tell her good qualities and her bad qualities. But it must be the plain, unvarnished truth, Irrespective of anybody's feelings." "Oh, I couldn't do that In a million years/' gasped Amy. "I think you are all perfect dears." "But everybody plays 'Truth,'" declared Marjory. "It's fascinating. Besides, it's good for any girl to learn her faults. Some great philosopher said, 'Know thyself.' I forget who he was, hut he said it, anyway. And none of us will get angry, no matter what is said, will we, girls?" "No, indeed," returned an emphatio chorus. "We are too broadmlnded for that." "Come, Helen, you begin the game," suggested Marjory. "All right, I'll start with Inez," assented Helen, without hesitation. "Inez, you have a sweet, lovely disposition, and you are lots of fun, but you have no idea of style or dress. It's a pity. Amy said only yesterday, 'How can that girl wear that impossible white polo coat when she is so fat and dumpy?'" "Why, Helen, how dare you say such a thing?" demanded Amy, indignantly. "I never said that!" "You know you did," calmly answered Helen. "It isn't kind to make fun of one's physical imperfections," declared Inez, haughtily. "I did'nt dream that my dearest friend would do so ignoble a thing. I'll never forget it." "You know, Inez, we promised at the beginning that we wouldn't get angry," said Marjory, putting her arm around the offended one. "I'm not angry. No, indeed. Not at all. F&r from it. But I'll have to be going. Goodby." And as Inez left she slammed the door behind her,— "Who will tell me the truth?" inquired Edith, breaking the silence. "I will," eagerly offered Imogene. "You are a stunning looking girl, but you can think and talk about nothing except dress and men. You are man crazy. It's absurd!" "Well, thank goodness, I'm not always quoting Latin that ^nobody cares about or understands," snapped Edith, "My brother said last night, 'Preserve me from that walking bookshop.'" ' Imogene opened her mouth to speak, then closed it firmly and held her hands over it. "Will some one tell me something?" begged Bernice of Bucyrus. "I'm not easily offended. I think this game is awtully cute." **If you really want me to, I'll say that if you didn't whine so and if you wore your skirts shorter and your waists longer, and if you combed your hair in 1911 style, instead of 1492 fashion, and if you didn't say 'How cute!' a dozen times a minute, yon might make a presentable visiting girl," vouchsafed Edith. "Oh, water, please—I'm faint," gasped Bernice of Bucyrus. "Now I'm going home to mother." Then Marjory was told that she wasn't sincere because she was too sweet to everybody, and Helen was faformed that she bad no tact and that she wasn't amiable enough to be popular. When the last girl had departed Marjory rushed into her mother's room, threw her arms around her mother's neck and promptly burst into tears. "Our club has disbanded," Bhe sobbed.
